Editorial Product Review: :Dremel 400 Series XPR Rotary Tool Plus, Attachments Included: XPR Deluxe Storage Case, XPR Multisaw, XPR Planer, Flex Shaft, Flex Lite, Cutting Guide, Circle Cutter & 90 Assorted Accessories. :The Dremel rotary tool idea was great to begin with, but now, they’ve revved up the basic rotary tool and added some exclusive attachments that make the XPR series one of the coolest tools we get to try. This one’s got all the bells and whistles of previous models and tackles the same tasks: you can carve, grind, polish, trim, sand, cut ...
Editorial Product Review: :Top Handle, 120V, Jigsaw, Improved Blade Change 1Handed Blade Insertion & Ejection, Precision Control, 50% Straighter Cuts Than 1587AVSP, Tool Less Bevel Adjust For Quick & Accurate Bevel Cuts, 6.4A. :It’s a funny thing about jigsaws; most of us tend to reach for another tool in its stead, having had less-than-great experiences with the little beasts. But here comes Bosch’s 1590, and it elevates the outcast jigsaw to the most-wanted list. The first thing we liked about this saw is its heft; it’s beefy, solid and made with that famous Swiss ...
Editorial Product Review: Review:Whether you’re using this pinner to fasten or to set a glue-up, you’ll be as impressed as we are with its versatility, capability and downright cool features. You’ll no longer be a slave to the number of clamps you have for gluing up: one set is all you need. Glue, clamp, fire this pinner, take off the clamps and go on to the next workpiece. The holes it leaves are literally pinholes; in dark woods, they’re virtually undetectable. In maple, pine and other light tones, just the tiniest dab of filler ...
Editorial Product Review: : Review:This driver would look more at home on a Fisher-Price workbench than anywhere else, but its looks are completely deceiving. It’s tiny, it’s light as a feather (less than 2 pounds including the battery!), but we promise, it packs power you won’t believe. Bosch fuels it with 'litheon,' which the company calls 'the industry’s most advanced lithium-ion battery technology.' We can attest that there’s absolutely no lag in power even when the battery’s about to hit empty, and the run time is very impressive, driving literally hundreds of screws ...
Editorial Product Review: :This one’s a bit of a paradox: The do-it-yourselfer might pass by this compressor in favor of an oil-free, no-maintenance model, but it’s actually one of the best on the market for the homeowner, hobbyist and weekend warrior. There are three factors that made us form this opinion. First, it’s the quietest compressor we’ve ever encountered. It’s a remarkable departure in a genre of tools that normally force you to suspend conversation while it’s cycling. The MAC700 puts out 80 decibels, according to the folks at Makita, and when you compare that ...
Editorial Product Review: Product Review:The Scott's classic reel mower is light, maneuverable, and economical. The business end of this push reel mower is solid, sharp, and everything a reel mower should be, with five heat-treated, knife-sharp steel blades that can be adjusted for nine grass heights with very easy wheel tabs. With its 10-inch wheels, radial tires, and 20-inch cutting width, this mower should enable you to cross whatever terrain and reach whatever hard-to-access rogue patches of grass you desire. There's no soft cushion on the handle, which is too bad, but otherwise, the ...
Editorial Product Review: Review:No swirls, no sweat, and a supreme shine every time: That’s what this Porter-Cable random-orbit polisher promises – and delivers. The way it’s designed, most people will be able to control the tool with one hand, whether it’s being used as a polisher or as its original purpose, a random-orbit sander. For those with smaller hands or less hand strength, just attach the auxiliary handle for a superior grip. It’s easy to operate, easy to handle and easy on your body ergonomically. We like that the speed dial is on the ...
The Pharos GPS Phone 600e isn't a horrible smart phone, but the lack of navigation software and subpar call quality detracts from its overall appeal. Plus, you can get more for your money with other GPS-enabled smart phones.
