Power Tool Accessories Reviews

The tools are packaged in a cheap plastic container, held in place by clear tape. They are of inferior quality. I do not recommend this item.

Great value for the money! Great assortment and lots of everything!

I have had great results with the Milwaukee 18v power tools, until today when I discovered that one of my batteries was dead just like so many other reviewers have written about. The voltage at the terminals is about two volts, and the charger does not recognize it. I sincerely thank all those reviewers who wrote about charging the battery above the 3 volt point so the charger will see it. BTW, I have been very careful to charge the batteries every couple of months whether I was using them or not.

I have had the Milwaukee hammer drill and circular saw kit for around three years. It came with two batteries, the first of which died around 8 months ago. I accepted it, grudgingly, but with the apparant death of battery number two today I was fairly unhappy. My previous drill's battery (old Craftsman) lasted around eight years. So I was ready to shell out some cash for new batteries, but happened to see the other reviewers discussion about the 9v battery trick and a problem with the charger not recognizing the battery when it didn't show a charge of at least 3v. So, I tried the trick, and suprise, I have two very functional chargable batteries. Used both tonight to continue finishing off our bonus room. No issues. Thanks to the intelligent reviewer for sharing his insight. Milwaukee, if you read the reviews on Amazon of your products, which I would do if I were in your shoes, you really should address this problem with at least the folks that registered their cordless tools with you.

CHECKED AT LEAST 15 SORCES TO REPLACE MY MILWAUKEE 18 VOLT 2.4 AMP BATTERY. AMAZON WAS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE AND AT THE TIME OFFERED FREE SHIPPING. WHAT A PLUS!!

I bought this piece of junk in august I actually started using it in september & now it's broken, I own a lot of very good DeWalt tools, but they let me down with this one...

The unit I received was missing the Accessory/CD case that snaps to the side. The LCD screen was badly scratch/fogged. The unit does receive stations, but the antenna is very loose.

It wasn't worth the saving to receive this sub-standard unit.

Shame on Dewalt!

This thing does a good job of charging batteries - but so does the charger I bought for less than 20 dollars. It plays AM and FM radio stations if the station is fairly close and you aren't annoyed by continually having to wiggle the volume control until both speakers start working. Don't expect any bass because there isn't a tone control. Don't bother setting the time, or any stations into the "presets", because the AA batteries that are supposed to maintain the memory will discharge overnight. It comes with a case to hold CDs, but it doesn't have a CD player (duh!). All my tools are DeWalts, and I've been satisified with their performance, but this thing is way below the quality I'd expect from something that says its a DeWalt. I'm about ready to sell off all my DeWalt stuff and buy Bosch because the Bosch radio/charger has a CD player, sounds better, and has many useful features. After the first wimpy DeWalt attempt at a radio/charger, you'd think the new version would be an improvement. WRONG!

After one use the unit leaks from inside.Upon closer inspection a cheap plastic part between 2 brass parts burst. Also the cheap quick connect pops off everytime you release the trigger disabling the unit

Second time used the on - off switch fell apart. Not a good design.
Spray pattern is so -so

I only used this machine 4 or 5 times before its hose connector cracked and broke. The handle, which is supposed to help you guide the washer while it is leaning on its wheels, slips off constantly and causes the machine to slam to the ground. Water has always leaked from the hoses, even with the addition of teflon tape. It is such a bad design that I don't even want to buy replacement parts. Buyer Beware...

I was really excited when I bought this. I put it all together and I shouldn't have bothered. The garden hose all by itself does a better job. Haven't tried the warranty service yet. Kept it too long before trying it to return it.

I've had 3 of the Karcher "pressure" washers. Only pressure the first time or two you use it and then it stops working or works poorly if at all.

The first one failed AFTER the warranty was out. I bought it mid summer and didn't assemble and use it until the middle of the next summer. The second time I used it the leaks started and the warranty had expired.

The local service place said that it wasn't worth repairing and that you shouldn't use it for more than 20 minutes with 40 minutes of rest if you expected it to work very long. If you use it and don't let it rest the gasket at minimum and perhaps pump will need replacing.

I bought another one on sale - different model number but basically the same. Hmmm.... wonder why they were selling them out? I suspect because they don't last long.

It failed within 2 hours of first use. The previous warranty shop was no longer servicing them so I called Karcher and was given the location of the nearest repair station involving a 75 mile round trip. When I arrived there the next day they laughed and said they no longer service anything from Karcher and got tired of not being able to get parts from Karcher and wasting time trying to get parts while the units piled up and overflowed their storage area.

Back home, I called Karcher and they said to box up the unit and send it to them which I did very well packed and at my expense. After a long time they sent me a replacement. It was going into winter by then and I didn't open it to assemble until the following summer. The box was a bit dinged but didn't look like anything serious considering it came UPS. When I opened it and started to assemble it was cracked in a dozen places and the interior of the shipping box looked like they failed to provide even the bare minimum of padding. OR they shipped me one that was damaged when it left their location. I managed to put it together and use some duct tape and used it once.

The second time I used it it would cycle on and off by itself and was starting to fail to shut off reliably when I shut off the wand.

I again tried to use it today and it fails to turn off EVEN WITH THE MAIN SWITCH. It appears after I disassembled things that both of the switches in the electrical control unit are shorted.

These things should be taken off the market. They are poorly made and poorly engineered, fail with little use and in no way have any that I've had come close to doing what they are advertised to to more than once or twice. After that they are nothing but a pain to try to use.

Right now I'm waiting to see if I can purchase (good money after bad?) the switches and take a chance that it will fix the problem. Maybe I could use it a few times before another problem arises. I'd probably be smart to junk it and figure that I threw away around $300 on the piles of junk.

I wonder if the proliferation of models and model numbers is an attempt to keep the customer from realizing they are getting the same basic troublesome device that will do little but take their money. It may work well for a few hours but in the end it's going to fail if my experience is any indication.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on an electric unit by this company.

Don't spend a dime for this piece of junk. Plastic water inlet connector is fragile as an eggshell. Given all the similar reviews of this and other Karcher products, Amazon should drop this supplier altogether.

I bought this attachment and the 400 XPR Dremel kit. I thought I would regrout the Batroom tile. BUT NOOOOOOOOO!!!! There's no way this attachment will fit my Tool, even with the adaptor. I own a Rotozip tool that Dremel says this attachment will fit. I'll give it a shot, otherwise this waste of time is going back.

I too used this tool with Dremel's rotary ADVANTAGE saw along with two $15 grout removal bits (3/16") to remove SIX LINEAR FEET of 1/4 inch grout. This tool was very effective until the bits broke. I figured maybe I put too much pressure on the first bit, so I took it real easy with the second one, but it broke too.

I have returned my Advantage saw, and will now have to try some other way of removing the grout from my 300 square feet of tile. $5 per linear foot of grout costs way too much! I'm also going to send a letter to Dremel hoping that they'll refund the $25 I paid for this tool along with the extra $15 I paid for the second diamond bit. I'll update this review once I haer back from Dremel.

Upon examining the package at a local store, it clearly stated on the front that it comes with an adapter to "Fit most rotary saws." I do not own the Dremel Advantage, but I do own the Dremel 2-speed Multi-Pro #285 Type 5. Seeing that it contained an adapter for non-Advantage saws, I bought it.

Boy, was I wrong! There's no way in the world that adapter works on the #285 model. I assumed that by saying "Fits most rotary saws" that it meant it would fit the Dremel product line. I assumed wrong. Looks like this attachment is going back.

Bottom line: If you own the Dremel 2-Speed Multi-Pro (model #285), do NOT buy this attachment.

I bought this grinder to use to sharpen my woodturning tools. The left-hand platform that comes with the grinder has a slanted v-groove in it which gets in the way of balancing a tool against the wheel in any other position. It is not interchangeable with the flat, right-handed platform. Also, the base of the grinder, unlike other grinder designs, sticks out under the wheels. This makes it incompatable with grinding jigs. I want to use a jig, and I now have to buy another grinder. I do not recommend this grinder for woodturners.

I BOUGHT THIS GRINDER ON 3/22/02. USED IT ABOUT 10 TIMES AND THEN THE VARIABLE SPEED DIDN'T WORK. TOOK IT IN TO THE DELTA FACTORY SERVICE CENTER IN DAVIE FLORIDA. IT TOOK THEM 6 WEEKS TO REPAIR THE UNIT. I TOOK IT HOME AND USED IT ABOUT 4 TIMES,THEN THE SPEED CONTROL BROKE AGAIN. I CALLED DELTA HOME OFFICE. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD SEND ME THE PART AND I COULD TRY TO FIX IT MYSELF. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER.

I almost passed up this item because the photo is taken at such an angle as to hide the unique shape and details of the battery! "Larger Photo" gets you a maybe 5% enlargment [being generous], and at the same quality-- the larger you make it, the worse the detail gets! It's bad enough not to know anything about sales-photos, but to be looking thru a viewfinder for a living and have no idea of shape or form? All of which leaves one with no choice but to rely on the text details of the ad.
It only lists model # 7700 as a fit, but, if it is indeed part # 757-01, then it is what came with my model-770 from the factory. But if the seller does not know what they are selling, why buy from them?
Why buy anything on an odds-OFF chance that it is what you need? Say, your wife is a perfect size 7; you buy her a size-17-something on the off-chance that it has been mis-sized? How long can you expect to stay married? What are the chances that '77 Chrysler parts will fit a '77 LTD, or vice versa?

Advice to seller: Get out of the tool business, yesterday. Better yet, get out of BUSINESS, period, and go train under someone who KNOWS what they're doing!

If the battery you want looks like this picture, don't buy this item. The picture is a 757. The item is really a 757-01, which is for a different tool and won't fit your dremel. I wasted a week and shipping costs on this mis marked product.

This is a defective product that is unsuitable for sharpening chainsaw blades, its described use. I ordered 20 thinking I would save money over the use of the Dremel equivalent which is twice as expensive. I didn't realize that they would charge exorbitantly for shipping, would send broken units, and that it would take three stones to sharpen a single chainsaw blade. This is a fraud and you should avoid this product at all costs. If this product is representative of the quality of the good provided by the company as a whole, I would not buy anything they sell.

I ordered this device because I had something similar years ago and I used it to drill holes in studs to run house wire though. After I received this angle drill attachment the fist thing I noticed what how bad it turned by hand. It would stick in places and I would need to reverse the turn before I could continue turning again. It also had a very rough movement. I thought that once it was on a powered drill maybe it would turn fine. Well when I did place it onto my cordless drill and ran the drill, it did make a terrible noise. Loud rattles came from inside this product. I opened it up to look inside only to find very cheap made gears! Not even what I would call bevel gears. There was so much slop in the movement between the gears that I feared they would strip out very easily. Well after about 5 minutes of use with a 3/4" spade bit (2 holes). The unit was striped completely out!

I should have known with the cheap price it was indeed a cheap product. Save your money and look elsewhere if you value your tools and expect some quality from them.
