Drills Reviews

This Bosch mini driver is exactly as portrayed. An excellent buy with a long battery life and high torque to boot.
I use this in a commercial environment and it meets all of my needs. Fits well in a tool belt and can loosen tight screws as well as drive them in tightly. I am very pleased.

I have had my drill now for a few weeks and man, it never seizes to amaze me. It is so small it fits nicely in my electrician belt bag, including the spare battery. It charges very fast and it runs forever. I don't bring my 18v drill to work anymore coz' my pocket driver is very handy and powerful enough. My co-workers are convinced, they too are thinking of getting one.

This screwdriver fits a nice niche between a full size electric driver and a hand screwdriver. Small, light but still powerfull enough for most around the house jobs. I won't try to build a house with it, but for 80% of what most homeowners need, this tool will work great.

I first tried the new Skil palm-size Lithium-Ion screwdriver, but without variable speed it was worthless so I returned it. The Bosch is a much better tool - variable speed, 10 position clutch and good ergonomics. To be fair, the Bosch costs 3X more, but it is worth it.

My only nit is that the two bits that come with it are very short, making it tough to get into tight spaces. This is easily fixed with an inexpensive bit set. However, for this price it should have come with something more.

I install cabinets full time and this jig is the only way to go. Once it is set all you have to do is drill holes. the price is well worth it considering if you drill one door wrong it costs you $150.00. I'm only giving it 4 stars because it is time consuming to adjust. The picture in tool cribs catalog shows a jig that is adjusted with thumb screws but the jig you get requires an allen wrench and when you're trying to hold everything in place the wrench can be a pain. Other than that one of the best tools I have ever bought.

This is the tool for door drilling. The accuracy is great and convienence of adjust is as well. i never have to make replacement drilling jigs that get the holes wallered out. and it is almost idiot proof (sorry sean). A good choice for the cabinet builder or installer. you will be glad you chinned the pole for this one!

This ia a very good kit, but I exchanged it for another brand. My decision was based on the comfort of the other brands kit. However, the BOSCH is an extremely solid and durable kit with good ergonomics.

I have lusted for a kit such as this for some time, waffling between brands (Makita, DeWalt, Bosch), and couldn't bring myself to spend the money for a quality system. I'm glad I waited for this Bosch package. I have used it for three months now and wouldn't trade it for anything. I still have a 14 volt Makita cordless drill that I like because it is lighter for some jobs, but the extra torque of 18 volts and the feel of the Bosch makes tough screw jobs a breeze. As a bonus, you get the cordless recip saw with tooless blade change which is very handy. I have used it for cutting sewer drainage pipe with minimal digging, trimming limbs in trees with an aggressive blade, plus it is so nice for high altitude remodeling jobs. I don't do as much remodeling work as I used to, but I carry a drill in the truck always, as there is always a use for in a rural area. I feel you truly get what you pay for when it comes to tools. There is nothing I hate worse than getting to a job and not have the tools I need in working order.

This drill has a 1/2 inch chuck and about 300 inch pounds of torque. It weighs about 5 lbs. Although the torque to weight ratio is not the greatest compared to newer smaller battery models, this drill is about as good as you're going to get for the money. Deltas smaller shopmasters are too underpowered for bigger jobs. I would compare this one favorably to any of the Skills and it blows away most B&D's. Blows away all "cheapie" 18v's. I don't know if replacing batteries will be easy nor do I know how long they will last. This drill seems powerful enough to tackle most household/home improvement work.

From the company best known for it's table saws and other woodworking tools comes the Delta Shopmaster line of cordless drills geared toward the do-it-yourself homeowner. This drill is an adequately powered, quality cordless drill at a cost that you can easily handle. It's great for screwing around. [...]

I bought this compressor for use in heavy commercial construction. It is more portable than the wheelbarrow compressors and can be put in the back of a pickup truck (unit is no feather weight though --- about 70 lbs!) This compressor has the best of all features--- reliable Honda engine, reliable Emglo compressor, overbuilt protective frame and quality gauges and quick connects make this an outstanding compressor. In commercial work, there are usually several trades on site (electrician, plumber, HVAC) and all of these guys are using the same power source. Most compressors capable of running two frame nailers draw enough power that it will constantly trip the the breaker on a temporary service pole unless run on 240 volts. With the gasoline compressor, all you have to do is make sure it has fuel and start it up! No extension cords and no more tripped breakers! We have used this compressor to run two paslode frame nailers shooting down 5/8" plywood nailed every 3" around the perimeter (120 mph rating) and this little guy could amazingly keep up! The compressor isn't louder than the DeWalt electric counterpart when running and the Honda engine means it will run for many years to come. Would not recommend this one for strictly running a finish nailer because of the overkill factor. Go buy a lighter,less expensive compressor for the finish guns. This machine is meant to turn out a much more substantial amount of air!

The only downside to this compressor is the price and its weight. That is a lot of money to shell over for a machine that does nothing more than compress air! But, then again, would you really be reading this if all you needed was an average duty Lowe's variety compressor? And if you have a pickup, leave the unit in the back and let it run. After a full day of installing sheathing, it can be a chore to load this 70lb. compressor up.

This is why I rate it 4 versus 5 stars due to the cost and weight. It seems like they could have trimmed a few more pounds off the compressor and a few more dollars!

I'm using this gas powered compressor out in the field to power a T-Post driver when I'm building fence. It starts with one or two pulls and does everything Dewalt claims it will do. I can't really find any faults with it at all. It's well thought out and well designed. If you need a light weight, gas powered air compressor, you can't go wrong with this one.

This combo is an excellent deal. I did tons of research and found that this was the best combo for my budget and requirements. I didn't want the four-piece, not the one with the trombone, trumpet, bass, and drummer, kit because if I am doing demo I will probably want a corded reciprocating saw for the added power and the light looks great but I am not willing to pay the premium for it.

The circular saw is definitely not a wormdrive saw but its cordless, easy to adjust, and makes smooth cuts through 2x.

The drill is bomber but the gear change mechanism is shaky due to a loose "clutch" - not the smoothest changes sometimes requiring an advancement of the drill to make the "shift". I don't know if this will affect the lifespan of the drill but my gut says it won't. And like Bush I always go with my gut, it's a nerve-ending thing.

All in all the tools will run as long as the batteries are charged. Fact: Current battery technology limits battery life. If you understand the tools you are purchasing and what you will be using them for you won't be disappointed with this kit.

Great tools... the best and most powerful cordless tools I have used. After using the Amazon Credit card and getting the reduction in price, the cost was the best I have been able to find. Was shipped in good order and time and was exactly what I was looking for.

DeWalt is not kidding about it not being compatable with any but the newest of their chop saws. I thought I might be able to adapt it to my DW708 - no way. Otherwise, if you have a new saw, it would probably work great.

The thing works really good but the adj screws are a little bit on the loose side. After using for a couple of weeks it had to be readjusted. Don't know if screws moved or just what happened.
but I still give it 5 stars because used a delta and I was not quite as happy with it as I am this one.

This item is very easy to install. Just make sure you plug the power switch in before trying to work it. For some stupid reason, I had it in my head that the thing worked on batteries and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Once I plugged the saw in and the lights came on, I realized what a fool I was.

Anyway, the item is easy to install and operate. There is an adjustment to make it so that you can have the laser show on the right or left side of the line you are cutting, which I thought was a good idea for those of you who are that good at measuring that a 1/16th of an inch means bad cut. If I'm within a 1/4 I'm usually pretty happy.

Hope this helps. I think its a good buy for these saws.

So I'm headed to Hawaii and getting a bit drousy from the beer, endless ocean view, and the inflight movie "March of the Penguins" when suddenly the fasten seat belt sign comes on and gas masks drop from the overhead compartment. Only they're not gas masks ... they're snakes. Not gardener snakes either. Boa contrictors, cobras, black mambas...pick any poisonous snake. Some evil-doer had gotten a bulk deal on these deadly vipers and packed them all stealthily aboard. Man were we scared. I mean we were all seated tightly together on a plane with nowhere to run and these were deadly snakes slithering everywhere. Luckily an FBI agent working with a biologist enroute to stop the escalating snake population in Australia had some Snake A Way (TM) in their carry-on luggage. And it worked like magic. It's a good thing too cause their ain't much else you can do to stop snakes on a plane. This product is a must for all cross-ocean travellers these days. I can give it only 4 stars because while it saved my life; the product permanently stained my favorite shirt. But I'm sure that can easily be fixed.

As a Custodial Technician at LAX I find this product very useful for getting rid of snakes. It is difficult to dislodge snakes on a plane; they like the enclosed surroundings. This gets them right out.

Also very good for home use. I recommended it my neighbor Sam who loves to complain about his snake problem ("We got mother****in snakes!") and this cleared the problem up in no time.

These are great to have around so you don't have to carry a drill with you. Make sure you have the 4486 Chuck first, though.

Great proce, product and delivery

This is the only bag I've tried in my vacuum. I have not tried the s-bag classic, which is cheaper and has less filtration. This bag works well. The only problem I have with this bag is when it's full, you are suppose to pull a cardboard flap to close the bag, but it(the bag) is usually overflowing when the vacuum light comes on(telling you to change the bag), and you cannot close the bag. Meaning, the bag is not dust free unless you empty the bag before the vacuum light comes on.

This Electrolux S-Bag Clinic Vacuum Bag is the best! It lasts long and dust and other particles stays in the bag when it's time for a change!
