Crescent CTK170CMP, We are always reaching for..

We are always reaching for this
I currently work at an agricultural sales and service business and we bought this set for quickly tossing into the truck when we needed to go fix something. It works well for that but we also have found it’s almost easier to grab this case just in the shop [...]

Jet JSM-403 1/2-Inch, Good quality but barely..

Good quality but barely enough power
While this has proven to be a quality product having seen regular use since I purchased it in 2006, it often fails to provide the power needed for simple tasks like removing lugs, especially if the shop was the last one to tighten them. It almost defeats the purpose. For [...]

Master Lock 3042DAT, Good Value !

Good Value !
This item provides a good selection for your bucks. The cords have the length printed on them for easy selection. The “organizer” is worthless. After the cords stretch you have to wrap them all over the organizer to keep them on. Buy ‘em. Only 16 bucks.
Update (9/7/2010): This item is currently on sale [...]

Drill Doctor 750SP Drill Bit Sharpener
Wow, a drill bit sharpener that actually does as the manufacturer claims. To me, few things are more aggravating than trying to work with a dull drill bit, especially when working with steel. When considering the amount of time wasted and productivity lost whenever good sharp bits are needed on [...]

Rockwell Jawhorse RK9109, Somewhat dissappointed

Somewhat dissappointed
Although I am very happy with my Rockwell Jaw Horse, I am less than happy with the plywood accessory. The first time I tried to use it, the spot welds holding the clamping surface onto the main part of the accessory broke. I debated whether to send the accessory back for replacement [...]

Dewalt DW 703 Compound Miter Saw
After reading all the reviews on miter saws here, I decided on the Dewalt DW 703 10-inch compound miter saw. Originally, I had ordered a DW 706 ten months ago, but a bad wreck the same day of the order meant I had to send it back until [...]

DELTA DP350 Shopmaster, DP350 Variable Speed Bench..

DP350 Variable Speed Bench Drill Press
The DP350 is a [mostly] well-designed tool of good quality, and a terrific bargain. This is the only reasonably priced variable-speed bench drill press I could find, so for the time being, Delta appears to have a unique product.
Delta says to tighten the head using the two supplied Allen [...]

DELTA DP300L 12-Inch, Good tool some small issues

Good tool some small issues
I am overall satisfied with the tool.
It is a little difficult to adjust precisely the depth stop.
Same with the laser. I actually found that I need to recalibrate the lasers each time I change the table height slighty if I want them to be dead accurate.
UPDATE: I now have used [...]
