    Makita 2708 Table Saw - How does the switch work?

    I was given a used Makita 2708 table saw like the one pictured. It needs some work, but as they're listed for $200+ on eBay, I figure it's worthwhile investing some time and money into it, and upgrading from my cheap Craftsman (like the one pictured below). Now I know I need to get a new...

    Does Anyone Else Want HF to Sell a Bigger Pittsburgh Pro Screwdriver Set?

    The 8 piece pro set (http://www.harborfreight.com/8-piece-professional-screwdriver-set-94607.html) is great, I believe that it is completely adequate to last a long time for a home user, and never be the reason why you can't do a task. My one complaint, is that it's only an 8 piece. The bigger...

    'International' voltage cordless power tools? 100-240 VAC Chargers?

    I want to get a new cordless drill and impact driver for my father, who lives in New Zealand with the 240V AC wall power. Many modern electronic devices use switch mode power supplies that will accept anything from 100-240V, but the drill chargers I've seen are all 110V in the US. Does anyone...

    I was in Sears today, with time to browse, and saw the Gladiator bottle opener on clearance down from $12 to $4. They can sometimes be had for $8, so $4 is pretty good. I got the last one in my local store, but I'm sure other stores will have more

    4 1/2'' Angle Grinder - What to buy

    I've searched, and couldn't find a clear answer for what 4-1/2'' angle grinder to buy. Please help. 1) The DeWalt DW402 is around $90 on sale and looks quite good (and is apparently repairable, unlike the many throw-away power tools out there now). 10 amps. 2) I could jump to $110 and go Metabo...

    BBQ's ... why are 'built-in's so much more than free standing?

    Good morning, I've been waiting until Fall to look for a special on a bbq to insert into our old outdoor BBQ area. My plan was/is to buy a stainless steel bbq with lid, something relatively simple, maybe a 3 burner if I can find one. I'll then remove the old home made one the previous owner...
