- Skil Bit & Blade Kit Power Tool Review
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] Last week we found a Skil blade and bit combo set with a case. It was a great deal, so we decided to buy and review the kit. Over the years we have seen a lot of these kits made by varies companies.
- Skil Worm Drive Saw Power Tool Review
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] We reviewed the Skilsaw wormdrive yesterday. This article discusses what we found and what we think of the worm drive.
- Milwaukee Sawzall Power Tool Review
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] This is one of my favorite power tools and that was one of the reasons we did a power tool review on the Milwaukee Sawzall. I truly love everything about this and can not find one item to complain about. The Milwaukee Sawzall is a power tool used to destroy, so it is even more important to build a good quality tool as more accidents happen during tear down. The body is put through more stress and is harder on the body, which causes fatigue.
- Bosch Bulldog Rotary Hammer Power Tool Review
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] Bosch makes some of the best power tools in the world and the Bosch Bulldog Rotary Hammer is a perfect example. Right out of the box, the first item we noticed was the case and the big Bosch logo.
- Porter Cable Router Review - 690LR
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] We have always liked the Porter Cable Routers, but they still need to go through our power tool review steps. The first thing we noticed was the case. When we opened the case, the router was a tight fit. We usually like a little room for bits or other items that belong with the tool. We took the router out, unpacked everything, and tried to put it back.
- Power Tool Buying Guide For Circular Saw
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] A circular saw is a great tool and one of the most common tools in the workshop. It was invented in England back in 1780. The circular saw is also known as a buzz saw or commonly called the Skil saw, even though Skil is a manufacturer that makes circular saws.
- Power Tool Buying Guide For Drill Bits
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] Having the right drill bit will make all the world of difference. Also make sure the bit is sharp. Most drill bits will do the work themselves with only a little bit of pressure. If you find yourself having to use a lot of force to drill, then it is probably time to throw that bit away and get another. Using dull bits can ruin your work and put unnecessary wear and tear on your drill.
- Power Tool Buying Guide For Reciprocating Saws
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] This is my favorite tool. The reciprocating tool is not used to build stuff, it is used to tear down or destroy things. Its a fun tool, well actually they are all fun, but I love this one. A reciprocating saw is probably not going to be at the top of a list for tools most often needed, but when you need to destroy anything, it is the most handy tool in the world.
- Power Tool Buying Guide For Saw Blades
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] The first thing to remember when buying a saw blade is the arbor size. The arbor is the center hole in the blade and that must match the arbor size of the saw. On any saw remember to read your owners manually to see what blade size you will need for your saw. Saw blades come in a variety of sizes, types and materials.
- All About Lumber
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] Lumber is the primary ingredient in most projects. Choosing the right lumber for a project makes a world of difference. Always make sure you get the right lumber for the job you are doing. Wood and lumber are used interchangeably all the time, but the difference is wood is the raw material, such as when you look at the tree growing in your front yard. Lumber is the finished project such as a 2 x 4, hence the term lumber yards.
- Cheap Vs Professional Tools
[Home-Improvement:Tools-and-Equipment] I have received numerous emails over the years about buying cheap power tools. Over and over again I hear: why would I buy an expensive professional power tool when I can get the same features in a no name brand for half the cost? Well, part of that statement is exactly true, you can get tools for half the cost, but it stops there. There are six major reason to buy a professional power tool or "more expensive" power tool. The six reasons are: tool options, material, efficiency, safety, aggravation and time.
