I use this rest for turning french rolling pins and legs for my hand made Windsor chairs. It saves set up time. Simple design that works great.Dave

I received the VP saw package on the 18th of December; one day earlier than estimated. All of the contents arrived as advertised in the value pack. Nice saw, plus the extra's are nice, especially the tool-belt and tape measure!! I took the saw out of the box and checked squareness of the blade, fence, etc. All were close enough for the job I was doing. Only adjustment I needed to make was a little more depth of cut when cross-cutting a 2 x 6. It was quick and simple to adjust. I used the saw to frame and constuct a new wooden fence (85 linear feet-a 2 day job). It made short work of cross-cutting the 2 x 4's and the 2 x 6's. The saw breezed through even the 2 x 6 treated lumber. It was worth the purchase just on the 1 job I did so far. It seems to be very solidly built. It's not light, but I'll take the little extra weight to get rigidity and durabilty. The only negative was the degree markings are printed on a sheet metal scale. I'd have prefered them to be raised cast letters that were part of the table. However, after 1 job I can't tell I've even used the saw. It should last me a lifetime. I like the numerous preset angles as well. Looking forward to making some more sawdust. I plan on building 2 decks before summer. This should really give it a work-out. I'm please with the results I received from this saw. Good value vs. price.

I have wanted a combo cordless bundle for a long time and although it is more than I need it is rugged and I plan on it lasting for a long time. The drill has plenty of power to drive a 2" screw into a solid block of pine with no flinching. The variable tourque settings save many a stripped head on the driven screw! The circular saw zips through a 2x4 with no hesitation with angle and depth options not always available. The flash light has a broad - bright beam and the recip saw is good to go.

What a great purchase. I have been wanting this kit for a long time and finally found a great price on Amazon. Since purchasing this kit, I have built birdhouses, toy boxes for the grandkids, and set of Adirondack chairs for my patio. Great tools at a great price. I ordered them on a Wednesday and received them on Saturday.

Handy to have. In a garage door company, we all use this tool on a daily basis. Takes a beating and keeps on ticken!

I've only used this tool a few times and it has out performed my expectations each time. Working as a marine technician you see a lot of rusty engine mounts, each time I've used it this tool had no problem. Its also well balanced and compact, certinly not a the biggest amount of torque but enough for alot of smaller jobs.

I install Central Vacuums, and use this bit everyday. I was impressed from the day I got it. The two cutting heads make a HUGE difference. No kickback, stays sharper longer, the list of positives goes on and on. I also own a Milwaukee 2 1/4 self feed, and there is nothing to compare!

While updating my workshop, I needed to drill holes in 2x6 joists and 2x4 studs to run the electric down the length of the walls. The DeWalt DW245 had more than enough power to do the job. It cut through those studs like a hot knife through butter. A piece of advice, use the control handle...this drill will get away from you if you don't.

Great router kit. I first ordered from TylerTool.com only to wait and wait for nothing because they said it was in stock when you order, then they fail to let you know that they don't even have it in stock. I'm finding out that there is more and more online tool business like Tyler Tools that are doing this type of deceptive selling with attractive low price listings stealing time and money from buyers and legitimate sellers like Amazon. Anyway, Amazon had it in stock and I'm not disappointed.

This saw is great once it is set up. Like almost everyone else on here says, the directions pretty much stink! I am a mechanical engineer with a strong practical background working with machines. It took me the better part of a day to set it up. The hardest part was leveling and ensuring flatness and being parallel of the tables. Once I tapped the feet and inserted leveling bolts, the problem was fixed. I don't know how you would level it otherwise! I bought an upgraded saw blade ahead of time. It is definitely worth it!

Max Tools did a terrible job communicating with me regarding order shipment. First they say the product will ship in 1-2 days. Baloney! It took over a week for it to ship. Then they gave me the shipment tracking order for the free appreciation gift rather than the saw! When I called back to get the right tracking order, they couldn't help me. It turns out that this drop ships directly from DeWalt. Next time I will order directly from my local Woodcraft store. The trouble wasn't worth the $50 I saved.

I work in a school district maintenance shop. We do all kinds of projects with all kinds of wood. We needed a blade that was a standard kerf (not thin kerf) that would take the use and abuse we give. We have had the blade for a year now after seeing it at a Woodworking show and then ordering it from Amazon.com. The blade still cuts true and since it is a standard kerf we haven't seen any deflection on cuts. You can spend another $50 and buy those blades that you have to send back to the manufacturer to have sharpened but I don't see that much difference.

I had the opportunity to get myself in deep (up to my ears) in a welding project and needed a grinder. Well as it turns out this is the third grinder I have had to buy and it is by far the best. My first grinder was a cheap chinese unit that SCREAMED loudly and didn't last. The second unit was a Ryobi unit available from your local home improvement center, quiet and smooth but with a fatal flaw that was a consant problem, when you set it down it hits the power switch and turns on momentarily flying all over the place, at 10000 RPM this is a problem. The switch failed mercifully and I gladly threw it away. This Ryobi angle grinder did not last very long, another Made in China wonder. Speaking of switches that brings us back to the Dewalt unit which has a safety latch on the switch, that works very well. It's quiet, safe, and made in America. Oh by the way, ALLWAYS use ear and eye protection when grinding and cutting metal!
