Power Tools Reviews

This machine makes dove tail joints a whole lot easier with my router. All you have to do is put the stock in one end clamp it, and setup your router and away you go! You have dove tails cut in the end of the piece of wood with ease. I found this product pretty useful.

this was a refurbed compressor from p-c, but it would be impossible to know that from looking at the machine. It came ready-to-use right out of the box, just plug it in and start it up. this machine has plenty of power to run most air tools and is light enough to be extremely portable. In short, a great product at a great price.

I always thought, "How could there be such a difference that would justify paying 8-10 times the cost of a regular sander?" Well, as a pro woodworker, I have tried just about everything - 6" belt sanders, Makita's BO6040, performax, etc. If you have a lot of finish sanding to do, this sander will erase many hours from your work day and do amore transparent job than anything. The results are undeniable.

I was in the market for a new band saw so I decided to attend a traveling woodworking show held near Orlando. I looked at all the band saws and was not happy with the prices I was going to pay for the features and quality I wanted until I visited the Fisch booth. I had already purchased a Fisch lathe and drill press and was surprised to see a new band saw being offered. This is the first year Fisch has offered it. Am I glad I went to the show. The fit and finish of Fisch's band saw at $1,000 and features like 12" of re-saw capability, a solid steel frame (weighs 400 lbs.), a sweet deluxe fence system that comes standard along with a roller ball bearing guide system and plenty of power when I fitted it with a 3/4" blade. I chose a 3/4" 3 tooth skip blade and can re-saw heavy, dense woods easily. My shop is wired for 220 volts. The Fisch band saw comes pre-wired for 110/115 volts but can be easily re-wired for 220 by following a simple diagram on the inside of the junction box cover plate.The motor also has two capacitors. Considering my great experience with the other Fisch products, I shouldn't have been surprised at how much better this machine is, but I was. I would highly reccommend this machine over others and you can save yourself $400-$600

I can't praise the Fiskars Small Lopper enough! I'm a Master Garden with several acres of country garden to maintain. This 18" lopper is the most versatile garden tool I use. The Power Gear feature provides incredible leverage in cutting far larger branches than comparable loppers. Every gardener should have one.

I love this pruner !! I have used this pair for several yrs and would replace them immediately if something happened to them. They are exremely light weight and have awesome cutting power because of the way they are made. They are wonderful for someone who has decreased strength in their hands from arthritis or other problem. My other favorite is the Fiskar pruning snips (may be called floral snips). lilymadonna- Bremerton, WA

Pruning is a snap with these pruners by Fiskar. I lost a lot of my gripping power in my pruning hand due to an injury and I have no trouble using these pruners. For larger limbs reaching the cutting capacity of this pruner, I simply begin the cut and rock the cutters as I squeeze, I also like the way they fit my small hand which is not to say that large hands would not be comfortable too. I love these pruners so much that when I lost my first pair, I did not hesitate to replace them with another.

I have used a number of router 3/4" straight router bits, from Bosch, CMT, Ohldham and Woodcraft. Nothing holds an edge like the freud bits have. I use them to route dado's in anything from pine, maple and oak. They cost less than the CMT bits and hold an edge 25 0 40% longer. If you need it, get it, nothing beats it that I have used.

I purchased the Freud JS102 biscuit jointer in 1998 and have used it to build many furniture projects in the time since. It is a quality built machine that is worth its modest price tag. The only fault I can find with it is that the dust port leading to the cloth bag tends to get clogged up. This is not a big deal though, as it is easy to clean out. I would buy this tool again in a heartbeat for its reliability and the value per dollar spent.

This is for the model 737 quick change which may not be this exact model. The blade retention mechanism is held in place by a spring which easily breaks necesitating having the saw sent in for repair. It does alright with wood only, but when you cut any metal the vibrations break the retention spring. Then the rotating lock rotates about and gets to the unlocked position and the blade falls out.

Even with bosch having more amperes this machine is no slouch. The quick change blade mechanism out-does the bosch and most likely the best on the table. I do like the metal box better than the plasic one, but still a great saw, my favorite out of all my tools.
