    New Makita charger says my batteries are dead.

    So, either I'm using this charger wrong, or I was sent defective batteries with my Makita XT 260 drill and impact driver set. It came with three batteries. two of them worked fine when I put them in the charger the first time, the third immediately showed as defective. Then, later they all...

    Makita 2708 table saw

    I found this Makita table saw for the asking price of $70. I've been looking for a decent saw, but I've never used Makita shop equipment before. I'd rather buy something older for the quality, like a Unisaw, but I like the idea of something like this that I can separate from the base because I...

    Thoughts on this Makita drill/impact set?

    I need a new cordless drill since my 30 year old Makita finally gave up the ghost. I had been looking for a good used deal for a while and came across a guy who will sell me the set pictured with a bag and charger for $100. I figure this is probably a decent deal since in my browsing I haven't...

    Which circular saw: Skil 5150 or Bosch CS20?

    I have a 5150 Skilsaw and I just found a Bosch CS20 in good shape for cheap that I'm thinking about upgrading to. Is one a significantly better saw than the other? I want to use it for home projects and some furniture building projects. Should I just stick with the Skil?

    Anyone know where I can get the switch assembly for my Bosch DVOM?

    The rotary switch on this Bosch multi (model MMD 540H) snapped off at the shaft and it has been operated with a screwdriver ever since. I can't afford the new Fluke meter I want so I was going there might be a source for this part. Any ideas? Pics 1 and 2 show the switch assembly, while pic 3...
