I recently purchased a brand new Makita MAC100Q from Amazon. Upon picking it up and moving it, it sounds like there are tiny grains of sand and/or metal shot in the tank. They move around when I tip it from side to side. Is that normal? Is that just left over spatter? It seems like that...

With the M18 Fuel Drills and Drivers getting a re-release soon with updates, any chance the same will happen to the M12 Fuel line as well?

Ohio Power Tool is having a special, where if you buy a bare M12 Tool before the end of April...they send you a free batter and charger with it. I was thinking of picking up either: M12 Fuel Drill/Driver...

I haven't personally experience this (perhaps I have a newer saw with the extended guard?) but it appears it was actually an issue at one time. http://www.amazon.com/milwaukee-sawzall-finger-injury/forum/Fx1PZPGBXG1PLNM/TxD1PDOOJ9PATV/1?asin=B0009RWLGU...

I actually picked up the Reelcraft during the Zoro sale....but I'm thinking I should have picked up the Coxreels reel instead...seems A LOT of people prefer Coxreels reels over RC here. I'm using Amazon just to show the reels. Reelcraft 7650...

So I started looking at getting an airhose reel the other day, and of course I've always heard about Reelcraft. I know there is lots of love here for the HF hose reel as well for what it is. HF hose reel is...$80? My question comes down to the differences in Reelcraft reels. Seems the two...

Saw these at TSC. Seems REALLY lightweight and flexible. Anyone used one? Durability? Cold weather? Warm?

I'm looking at purchasing a set of digital calipers and micrometers. Anyone have any experience with these? What are some good brands? I know when purchasing some items a certain brand just dominates others (Fluke). What brands are good? Any to stay away from? I see the guy over at ToolGuyd...

So I have the red handled Craftsman pry bar set, the 3 count model made by Wilde. I'm interested in getting some additional bars, with metal strike caps. I know the Craftsman Pro models are made by Mayhew, and have these. Question...I understand that the regular models are now possibly made...

By looking at this report...

Picking out a reciprocating saw almost feels as dawning as picking out a new circular saw. The choices are endless. The Mil Hackzall looks pretty neat, but I think I'm going to want something more heavy duty than that. Corded seems to be the way to go. Ideas? Seems like all the major...

I'd like to pick up a set of bolt cutters, 18-24 inch in size (maybe 30) for $100-150. Seems like I keeping coming up against Hk Porter and Knipex. Which is the better brand regarding durability, hardness, and the better tool?

Anyone have a cordless circular saw for small jobs? What brand? Likes? Dislikes? Any to stay away from?

Yes, yes....getting a 77 would be ideal...an old USA made one at that. That'll happen, but I don't need something like that for the projects I have in mind. I came across this guy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007QUZ16A ...is that TOO light? Would I get noticeably more kickback than a...

I'm looking to pick up a 1/4 Sheet Sander and a Random Orbital Sander. Seems everyone was riding the Porter Cable 330 train for a 1/4 Sheet Sander a few years ago. Still the same? Suggestions? What about for a ROS? Also, it looks like that PC 330 I 1.2 amps? There seem to be a lot higher...

Does there exist a GOOD magnetic strip that mounts to pegboard? What about that doesn't mount to pegboard? I'm looking for something with a good strong magnetic hold on tools/accessories.

Who has a Proxxon rotary tool? The professional? How does it compare to the Dremel 4000 or Black and Decker RTX? Both seem to be higher RPMs than the Proxxon, but the Proxxon has more torque? Flex shaft with the Proxxon? I've read that the flex shaft on the Dremel screws on or attaches, and...

I was considering getting a flex shaft for my Dremel....but then I saw this thing. Kinda pricey but I'm interested. One thing, the highest Foredom is 18,000rpms.....dremel spins at 35,000? Does the dremel spin slower with the flex shaft attachment? Thought about getting a Proxxon to replace...

I'm looking for a wireless/rechargeable work light. Kinda like this Bayco model: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004BDNKQ8 ....any thoughts on this model? Or others?

So I was all set to get this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001Q2VPK/?tag=atomicindus08-20 ...due to it's VERY quiet operation and it would be great for an average home owner. BUT...It seems it would strain on some things...i.e...some air tools..inflating car tires, etc. So I've upped my...
