Drills Reviews

After trying a number of hammers I came upon the Hitachi DH30PC. This tool is far superior to the other similiar models from other companies. Do yourself a favor and buy this tool.

I have bought many hammer drills over the years, but this Hitachi three mode really does the job.I am pleased with the performance, while chipping, drilling, or hammer drilling. It does it all better than some of the larger units I owne.The hitachi is no toy, just a well engineered tool.

very pleased with the way amazon handled a problem. The merchandise was delivered to the wrong address, but it was resolved quickly and easily. Thank you, amazon.

Plenty of power and good solid clutch allows you to go where many other drills cannot. This drill has saved me plenty of time and energy, not to mention a lot of frustration!

I was searching Lowe's and found this drill. It is truly a good bargain. It is very powerful and the charger is great. I also got a free flashlight with it. If you are simple do-it yourselfer, this drill should have all the power that you need.

This drill rocks! I have owned three other cordless 14.4 volt drills and this one outshines them all. There really is no comparison. I don't have the words. Feel, power, longevity, co-worker fascination, smoothness, quietness, ... did I mention power (?). It has plenty of all you need. Definately no need for an 18 volt, or any other volt for that matter. I especially love the all volt charger you get with it as I own other Hitachi cordless drills. If it has a flaw it's the case, but I'll deal with it!

I purchased this drill to supplement my larger Makita model. I'm an amateur woodworker with a passion for power tools. After much research, reading and deliberation, I chose this Hitachi over several other brands. This just seemed like too good of a deal to pass up and I was right.

Popular WoodWorking magazine raved about these inexpensive Hitachi drills and now I know why. I've had the tool for 3 weeks and used it for several projects and I'm not dissapointed. It has much more power than you might expect, given it's small footprint and light weight. It fits into my hand like a good tool should and it's fun to use. This drill replaced an older 9.6 DeWalt which I didn't really care for. All in all, considering the price, power, quality manufacturing and the great flashlight, this purchase was a great value. I love it when I feel like I got a lot for my money.

I've been a builder for 40 years and started using the clamps with my Dad, who was also a builder in New England. With the proliferation of speed squares it seems today's generation of carpenters has forgotten how to use a framing square. These clamps without a doubt are one of the handiest items around for laying out stair stringers and rafters (common, hip and valley). For common rafters one clamp goes on the run side of the framing square (12 inches)and the other clamp goes on the rise side, whatever the rise is 5, 8, 12 inches. Mark off the plumb line for the exterior wall and mark and move the square times the number of feet of run (1/2 the total span). The last plumb line is the center of the ridge. Back off 3/4 of an inch and you have the perfect pattern to cut the rest of your rafters. The three S's short, sweet and simple. They work great for stair layouts also. A great tool and buy for the price.

I bought this Angle Gage so we could roughly set the angle of an actuator in a new industrial machine. We were going to purchase a $250 electronic angle gage but the Johnson Level proved so easy to use and the accuracy was so good that we decided to save the money. Even the customer for the machine used the Johnson Gage for the Machine Qualification Tests. We will buy several for use on the test floor as we ramp up production.

We use this for satellite dish installation, and we are very please with its quality and durability. It is not like the cheap imported models. This is much more precise and the scale if very easy to read. We highly recommend it to all of our dish installers. For the price and quality, it is a 5 stars no doubt.

Best regards

One of the essentials when setting up a shop. You need multiples of all sizes. The Jorgensen along with the Pony pipe clamps are my favorites. They are easy to set up and use, they hold the piece tight and with the rubber pads they don't mar the wood. They also make a 24" and above with a ratcheting system (very nice). You can't go wrong with Jorgensen.

I would just recommend that if you are considering buying this to consider the 24 or 36 inch versions instead. I purchased this along with the others, and then realized that if I have one of the larger clamps that I have no need for the 12" clamp.

The larger clamps can do the same job as this one plus more.

Also if you buy only one the wood will not be sucured to the table.

After having several Kreg jig units for on the job, we bought this one for the shop and it is GREAT! My shop man said to get a Delta unit. I researched and bought the Kreg Foreman and he's glad I did! I trust Kreg for the best in pocket hole technology.

The Kreg DB50 Foreman is a machine that you simply can't describe. I have three Kreg pocket hole jigs. Think they are great. I have on of the original models. Use it all the time. Decided i wanted to have something easier. Looked at all the product out there and ended up with the Kreg Foreman. This macahine is one great addition to my shop. simple, Everything about this machine relates to simplicity. Setup from the box is simple. Design of the machine is simple. Use is, well, unbelievable. It does require some air. I had a four gallon Hitachi that just couldn't cut it. I ended up buying a 30 gallon five hourse power compressor. Perfect. One second response time. You just grab the handle and the clamp comes down and youpull the lever to you and bang, the hole is done. It is so much faster than the manual system. Cleaner too. I have my unit set up on a moveable table so when i am not using it i can get it out of the way. But, if you want speed, simplicity and quality then this is the unit for you.

Have already used it more than I thought I would. Bought it specifically for some troublesome joints and have ended up using it on much more. Love the product, my only regret is that I didn't get the master system.

This kit is very user friedly. The instruction are very good. The joints have all been very good.

If you want to cut steel, Aluminum, or just about any metal this is the brand you want to use. Any hole saw can cut wood (so can these) but cutting steel is a different story. They are the longest lasting hole saws I have found on the market.

I PURCHASED THE WHOLE SAW KIT AND WAS A LITTLE NERVOUSE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO USE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE CUTS ARE OFCOURSE A LITTLE ROUGH BUT THE HOLES COME OUT FAST WITH MINIMAL LABOR ON YOUR PART.
