Power Tools Reviews

I just received this set and I am really impressed. I already have several Stabila products and I know they are the best levels. This set is great because it includes the 3 best levels that Stabila makes and the 5 pocket case was included. The case is really nice with a few extra pockets. This is a great gift for the professional carpenter in the family. Stabila is one of those manufacturers that always comes up with cool stuff.

I had been using an N88RH-2MCN for my metal connector work. As you know, the 2MCN is a standard framing nailer with a locator tip. While it works fine, it's big and heavy and doesn't always fit between joists and in tight places. The MCN150 solves that problem. It's small & light comparable to a 15ga nailer, almost half the weight of the 2MCN and it fits into tight spaces more easily. The MCN150 does not use a locator tip, but rather uses the exposed nail tip to guide you into the hole. I've had it now for about 3 months and ran several thousand nails through it without incident. I would highly recomend this tool if you do frequent metal connector work. It comes in a nice plastic fitted case. I purchased mine at Home Depot through their special order program for $231.89 their SKU # is 782-165

This product work great on my new mable floor, I needed it for to clean up the grout haze that the lousy tile installer did not clean up good after he grout the floor, since its mable there is not much other product that will clean haze up without damage the surface of the mable. This coating stripper was easy to use just follow the instruction, now my mable looks great!!!

I ordered my chuck from these people with standard shipping on Thursday through Amazon. The item was shipped Friday and I received it Tuesday morning!!Amazon said 7 to ten days and Woodworker Specialties said 10 to 14. Thank You All Very Much...4 day shipping two of which were a weekend!!

When Fall Season arrives, my husband is busy cutting down trees on our property for our woodburning stoves in our home. He would be busy from dawn to dusk cutting logs and then splitting them manually to fit into our woodburning stoves. Our property has all types of wood from oak, elm, hedge, locust, walnut. Some are easy to split and others are very difficult.
The Swisher LS11534 Log Splitter (34Ton 11.5 HP) is not only MADE IN AMERICA, but the company is in the Midwest, same as us.
This logsplitter is towable and will split in either the vertical or horizontal position.
My husband couldn't wait to get put this "bad boy" through it's paces. We fired it up and split wood for about 2 hours. The logsplitter split those logs like a HOT knife through butter. It was fantastic. We ended up with as much split wood in 2 hours with the logsplitter that it used to take my husband 8 hours to split manually.
We are very pleased with this product and the Swisher Company Customer Service couldn't be nicer. I've contacted them online with several questions and they have always responded immediately and very professionally. I am so glad I bought the Swisher Log Splitter for my husband. (he is too)

I bought this item a few weeks ago for a remote cabin. I set it up to dial my cell phone and then had a neighbor try it. It works! And you can find it cheaper than what Amazon sells it. Just do a Google search for "Telespy".

The motion sensor is at one end of the base unit, so you need to keep the Telespy pointed in a direction most likely to be crossed by an intruder. It is sensitive to motion up to 30 feet away, according to the user manual, although I didn't do any actual tests on distance. I find that it gives me about 20 seconds of listening time before it hangs up. Contrary to the marketing claim, I would NOT say that it has an amplified microphone for picking up sounds - more like what an ordinary telephone can pick up, so unless you happen to be in a quiet area, you'll have a hard time hearing anything if you happen to be in an area with any background noise at all - such as while you're driving. And picking up the receiver while it's auto-dialing will stop the call, which is handy if YOU happen to be the one who triggers it.

There are a few improvements I would like to see. I find that if the electricity is knocked out, the auto-dialer will be triggered when the power is restored even though nothing actually activated the motion sensor. Maybe a battery backup would prevent this... Another would be the addition of a remote motion sensor (perhaps even wireless) that could be located beyond the reach of the phone cord. There are jacks on the Telespy called Remote In and Remote Out for for yet-to-be-developed accessories that are mentioned on the Telespy website, so perhaps a remote sensor is already on the drawing board. Another would be the ability to call it and have it act as a listening device, although in the wrong hands that would be considered an invasion of privacy.

We installed one of these in our bathroom with no window. We have it on light spray every 15 minutes 24 hours. It really does spray a "light" metered dose and so the room just has a suble mango smell to it at all times. It's been the smartest solution to a "sensitive issue"! We've tried candles and plug-ins and other fanned machines....but nothing has worked as nicely and subtly as this. Now we're going to get one for the basement.

Having a relatively tiny shop over in one corner of the basement, I was getting very compressed with tool tables. I bought this (and the Tool Rack) at the Woodcraft Supply show for considerably less than the advertised prices. These items are very, very heavy. The FedEx guy could barely get them in the house even with a dolly. Assembly was pretty straight-forward even though there are a ton of screws, washers, and nuts. The pieces fit together very easily. I assembled them in the middle of the living room to keep them from getting scratched by the basement floor. 2 neighbor guys moved them to the basement for me - with much huffing and puffing. So far they have worked extremely well, allowing me to eliminate several individual tool stands and providing more working space. The shelves in the Tool Rack slide very easily and fit nicely into the Tool Station. A very good idea that appears to be well-thought out and user-friendly.

The only issue I have with the Tool Station is that the door latch is not long enough to catch the edge of the cabinet - thereby not latching the door. I have contacted Waterloo Industries - we'll see what they do/say...

I have been unable to find this battery until now.

Thanks

Well, I bought this for my dewalt 926 9.6v cordless drill. The battery fits properly, and seems to do everything it is supposed to. Certainly a good buy.
