Drills Reviews

Item as described and received in a timely manner.

This dremel is new to the family and the best model yet.
if i were to compare the xpr to the 300 I would have to say the 300 is far ahead and dont let the price tag fool you. The dremel xpr does not last that long and thats mostly because the motor can not take the higher than normal amp rating. I have used most of all the dremels now and the closest comparison in quility to the 300 is the dremel 395 but i still think the 300 is better. The dremel 300 does not overheat, feels solid, its affordable, and looks good to. Do yourself a favor and pick the 300 you wont be sorry.

I bought a Snappy Tool set at a woodworking show. I had buyers remorse over the $100+ purchase not long after leaving. What was I thinking? $100+ for a bunch of drill bits? I'm here to tell you that it may have been expensive, but that set of drill bits, drivers, and plug cutters is probably THE most used purchase I've ever brought home from a woodworking show. I use it in EVERY project, whether driving my McFeely's or hex-headed screws, or drilling countersunk holes, or cutting tapered plugs... You name it, I've used it. All except the two adapters that came with the set, one of which was this 3/8" adapter. I could never imagine a use for it, so it just sat in my bit pouch. Then one day, as I was changing back and forth between my Kreg pocket hole drill bit and the hex-shanked bit driver, I figured out what the adapter was for. I slipped the Kreg drill bit in the adapter, tightened down the lock collar and my productivity just about doubled. The next time I took out my Miller dowel drill bit, I already knew the drill (so to speak). I took the Kreg bit out of the adapter and put the Miller bit in. But why bother with swapping them out? I'm placing my order for a new 3/8" adapter, and I'll do it again for the next specialty bit I use too. This is one useful little tool.

unit works very well. easy to use and seems to be of good quality.

I work at Sears selling tools and with all the gimicy tools that are out there, I was skeptical of the Drill Doctor, until I tried it. It takes about 30 minutes to really get the hang of it, but after that, it is wonderful.

I was drilling through ratchet handles to make a display. I had taken a brand new cobalt bit off the shelf and dulled it after 2 1/2 ratchet handles. I pulled out the Drill Doctor as a joke. But the joke was on me. After about 5 minutes of figuring out how it works, I was able to finish the next three ratchet handles after sharpening the bit.

I have done tool demonstrations at Sears with the Drill Doctor. I have taken drill bits, ground them down on a grinder so they wouldn't drill into Jello, then sharpen them and go through 1/8 steel without a problem. I must have sharpened nearly a thousand drill bits at Sears and the unit is still working.

The price is a little steep, but you won't need to buy drill bits again.

I purchased a Drill Doctor drill bit sharpener a couple of years ago, and I've been really impressed with this machine. I don't do alot of drilling, but I do enough to wear down a few drill bits and even snap a few. I did have one of those crappy drill powered bit sharpeners, but unless a bit wasn't cutting at all I wouldn't dare put it on that thing - it would dull more than sharpen most of the time.

I know that a sharper cutting tool works faster, cuts cleaner, and is all around a safer tool to work with. Drill bits are no different. I saw this unit at the local home improvement store, and decided to take a gamble since I had never heard of Drill Doctor before. The drill doctor is so easy to work with. My unit came with a detailed video that quickly showed me all there was to operating this simple machine. Pop the bit in the special chuck, align & adjustment is easy & virtually automatic. Then turn the unit on and turn the chuck in the sharpening hole. Literally in a couple of minutes I had sharpened my first bit. Next challenge was to see what it would do with a broken off bit. I selected a 1/8" bit broken at a steep angle. I had to run it through for a few minutes, readjust the chuck a few times after I'd ground it down some and it wouldn't cut anymore, but in the end I recovered a bit that was completely useless. In my shop it will be a little while before this unit pays for itself in bit replacements, but I think it's already paid for itself in precision drilling and avoided frustration!

One note, if I were getting a Drill Doctor today I would probably look at the DD500 or DD750 units. They can sharpen bits at 135� in addition to the 118� standard cut, but you can sharpen any bit to the 118� angle without problem.

Works great, holds everything for the 500 or 750.

Great batteries, long life, work great all my electronics. I don't use anything else.

A great price on a great product.

This is the best brand name alkaline lantern battery.

Why? It uses the heavier, higher-capacity "F" cells.

The other brand manufacturer uses "D" cells, for less capacity.

I've had these work after almost 10 years in storage!

Buy alkaline instead of heavy duty...much better value.

these batteries are very good batteries. they out live any other battery that i have ever used in my life. these batteries last about two hours longer than any other batteries depending on what you use them in.

My dad always told me some tools are a matter of preference. Well, for me, I wouldn't own another hammer. I love my estwing! that's all there is to it. tough, rugged, and unbreakable under normal use. I've used mine for so many things. I mean it's practacally been my favorate tool and it's stood a big part in remodeling our home. the nice thing is, I'm left handed and makes driving a nail for me soo much easier than any other hammer I've used. My dad always tells me, there is a proper tool for every job, and proper hammer for me is an estwing.
