DeWalt DC4CPKA 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 4-Tool Combo Kit

DeWalt
ISBN: B0002ZU6WA, DeWalt 18-Volt 4-Tool Combo Kit - BUY

Product Description
This is an entire toolbox in one well-priced package: just about everything you need for practically any job. We love these combo kits because you just can’t beat the price. A powerful DeWalt drill/driver, trim saw, recip saw, hardworking pivot light, one-hour charger and two batteries with a rugged case, and for roughly half what you’d pay if you bought the tools individually. Here’s what we think about what’s in the box:

You need power, but you don’t want to hoist a ton. Here’s the answer. DeWalt’s revamped 18-volt compact drill/driver delivers on both counts, with a 1/2-inch chuck that grips beefy bits, an 18-position adjustable clutch, and a high-performance motor for the torque you need, packaged in a truly lightweight, comfortable drill. The variable speed has a high and low range for any application, and the reverse switch is right above the curved trigger for easy access. We especially like the light weight, even more so because it doesn’t cost in the power department. The 18-volt trim saw is lightweight, compact and maneuvers grandly even in the tightest workspace. Don’t dismiss it just because it’s a 5-3/8-inch blade; it cuts a 2x4 in one pass and even offers up to a 50-degree bevel. The rip fence is sturdy for a nice, accurate cut, and blade changes are fast and easy because of the spindle lock. It’s got a no-load speed of 3,500 rpm, and even at 45 degrees, you’re getting a 1-1/8-inch depth of cut.

The reciprocating saw is just a blast, especially if you’re used to dragging a corded model around, into basements and up ladders. It’s plenty powerful, too, whether you’re cutting into wood or metal. We like the keyless clamp for quick, simple blade changes and the electric brake for the time it saves.

The flashlight’s wide-angle beam lights up your workspace, whether you’re up in the rafters or in the crawlspace. The head pivots a full 90 degrees, and the Xenon bulb illuminates with strong, bright white light. It’s got a decent enough run time of about three hours on a charged battery, and the bulb will last about 110 hours.

In all, this is a fantastic buy for the contractor or the ambitious do-it-yourselfer.


DeWalt D51823 Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer with Magnesium Housing

DeWalt
ISBN: B00005NMUW, DeWalt Framing Nailer - BUY

Product Description
3-1/2" Clipped Head Framer, Impact Resistant Exhaust Cap, Plenty Of Power For Laminated Beams, Permanent Molded Grip, Integrated Belt & Rafter Hook, Tool Free Depth Adjustment, Trigger Lock Off, Quick Release Jam Clearing, Internal Pusher Latch.

Review
What a beauty! One of the lightest framing nailers available, this DeWalt weighs in at just 7-1/2 pounds but packs a wallop, sending nails into even the hardest woods with minimal recoil. Dry fire lockout prevents this workhorse from firing empty, and should it jam up, you'll be working again in no time thanks to DeWalt's well-engineered quick-release jam-clearing mechanism. You can change the depth of the drive in a jiffy, too, and without tools. (You have to love that!) As with DeWalt's other nailers, you receive both bump and sequential action triggers with your purchase. The magazine is angled at 31 degrees, and combined with its 12-3/4-inch height, you can toenail in the tightest spots. A reversible rafter/belt loop is a nice touch, and DeWalt also tosses in a bottle of oil and some very cool-looking safety glasses. With this nailer at your disposal you can't go wrong.


Thomas Compressors T-200ST 13 Amp 2 Horsepower 4 Gallon Oil-Free Twin Hot Dog Compressor

Thomas Compressors
ISBN: B00005JRKV, 4 Gallon Oil-Free Compressor - BUY

Product Description
Thomas Compressors' quiet-running, 2-horsepower Renegade compressor delivers 4.6 cfm at 100 psi. The unit's higher tank pressure (135 psi) gives you more available power when running long hoses or working with extremely hard materials. It draws only 13 amps, too, so it runs easily on 15 amp circuits and can also be used with extension cords. The patented LifeGuard dirt deflector keeps job site grit out of the compressor and improves cylinder cooling. A slow-turning (1,700 rpm) motor helps minimize noise and extends the life of the compressor. The twin-stack tank design provides a 4-gallon air reservoir.

With five convenient outlets protected from the elements by a durable weather-protected panel, you can easily hook up TV's, stereos, coffee pots, heaters, laptops, and more. An internal power surge alternator will help to give you peace of mind by protecting your valuable electronics.

The generator's 10-inch "never flat" wheels, along with its lightweight 163-pound design, mean that you can easily move this generator as your power needs demand. And the generator's patented Super Silencer muffler eliminates sparking and makes this generator quieter than any in its class, so the conversation inside isn't drowned out by the noisy machine outside.

The Briggs & Stratton OHV engine that powers the generator is designed to provide extra torque that helps the generator deliver higher wattage power so you have stand-by power exactly when you need it. For more information about torque, visit the Briggs & Stratton Web site.

The generator measures 28.1-by-22.7-by-24.25 inches (LxWxH) and is covered by a 2-year limited, manufacturer warranty.


Bosch 4212L 12-Inch Dual Bevel Compound Miter saw with Laser Tracking

Bosch
ISBN: B0007LQQ0U, Bosch 12-Inch Compound Miter saw - BUY

Product Description
Includes 12" Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw with Upfront Controls and Laser Tracking - 4212L, 40-tooth thin-kerf carbide-tipped blade - 2 610 922 613, Dust bag and elbow wrench set - BB1205, Flip-Over Crown Stops - MS1233.
This is what a miter saw ought to be: accurate, sturdy, powerful, versatile, user-friendly and packed full of cool features.

If we had to choose a favorite aspect, it would have to be the handle. It’s vertical. It’s horizontal. And it’s a couple of other things in between. It locks quickly and easily into any of four positions, so both lefties and righties have complete comfort and control.

This saw is beefy: It weighs in at 55 pounds and it’s got a huge 25-1/2-inch base with built-in sliding extensions that bring your total support area to 40 inches. If you’re in the market for a stand for this saw as well, we like both the Bosch TracRac as well as the DeWalt DW723.

The dual bevel is a great feature, swinging 0 to 47 degrees left and zero to 46 degrees right, with positive bevel stops at 31.6 and 33.9 degrees for flawless crown molding cuts. For miter cuts, the blade swings an impressive 52 degrees left and right. There’s even a micro-fine adjustment here, letting you override a detent by as much as 2 degrees. Now that’s precision.

We absolutely love the fence on this saw – Bosch calls it a Speed-track sliding fence – because it’s a full 4 inches tall and has a beautifully readable inch-scale on it. It’s perfect for crown molding, handling pieces up to 6 inches wide when angled against the fence.

We’re suddenly rethinking our earlier statement about our favorite feature on this saw; on second thought, it might well be that all the controls – including the bevel lever – are up front. We’re pretty tired of reaching around a saw body to set a bevel, so this is a most welcome upgrade. Adjustments are so much faster and easier, and all the scales are right up front, too.

Capacities are generous for a non-slider. With a 0-degree miter and 45-degree right bevel, you can cut a 2-by-6; beveling to the left, it will handle a 2-by-8. With an upright blade, you’ll cut a 4-by-4 with ease.

And yes, this saw has a laser cutting guide, but unless you really want one, we wouldn’t let that sway a decision on this saw one way or the other. It’s a nice feature if you’re likely to use it, but most of us woodworkers prefer to get a visual on exactly where that blade meets the wood.

In all, this is a beauty of a saw, with features you aren’t going to find on other saws in its class. And we still can’t pick our favorite between the handle and the up-front controls. It’s all good.


Bosch TracRac T3B Portable Miter Saw Stand

Bosch
ISBN: B0002WRH48, Bosch Portable Miter Saw Stand - BUY

Product Description
Includes TracRac® Miter Saw Stand - T3B, 4-ft. Dual Outfeeds, 1 Crown Stop, 4-in. Rubber Wheels, 12-in. Adjustable Height Supports, Adjustable Telescoping/Leveling Leg, Universal Mounting Brackets.

There are lots of saw stands on the market, but this is the only one we've seen that can fold down without removing the saw. Then you just roll the whole assembly away on its solid rubber wheels. But if you do want to take the saw down, it only takes a couple of seconds to release it from the CamLock base. You can slide the saw all the way left or right if you need the outfeed support, too. While anyone would love this stand in the shop, it's at the jobsite that it rises to the occasion—or lowers itself—on telescoping leveling legs that can accommodate up to six inches of surface difference, perfect for the homebuilder. It's lighter than you'd expect for a stand that will take on 500 pounds, too. Outfeed support reaches a nice 20-foot length. The CamLock base is universal and should fit any make of saw. Because of that and its fold-down ability, this stand gets our highest score.

Skil HD77M 7-1/4-Inch 120V Mag Worm Drive Saw US

Skil
ISBN: B0000223FB, Skil 7-1/4 - BUY

Product Description

7-1/4" Magnesium Mag 77 Worm Drive Circular Saw, 13A, 3,400 RPM, 2LB Lighter Than Model HD77, Magnesium Motor & Gear Housings, Aircraft Quality Aluminum Foot, Skil Exclusive High Torque Distributed Wound Field, Precision Machined Worm Gears, Oil Pressure Relief Bellows Prevents Leaks, Skil Exclusive Oil Level Indicator, Blade Guard Automatically Retracts On A 45ree. Angle, All Ball Bearing, Push Button Blade Lock, Diamond Arbor, Handy Depth Scale, Ruler Scale On Front Of Foot.

This is a workhorse of a saw, and it definitely lives up to the Skil name (the company that invented these saws in the first place). This latest version of the famous Skil 77 takes all the power and torque the original is known for and packs it into a lightweight magnesium housing, bringing it down near the weight range of sidewinder saws. Grasping it by both handles, the saw balances well, and the notches in the shoe give a good guide for 90- and 45-degree cuts. It has a 2-3/8-inch depth of cut at 90 degrees, and 1-15/16 inches at 45 degrees. We liked the quick blade height adjustment mechanism and the angled wrench, which helps prevent skinned knuckles during blade changes. We couldn't feel any difference in performance between this Skil's 13 amp motor and others drawing 15 amps. Be prepared for a slight twist when you first flip the switch, but after that, it's a smooth machine made right here in the U.S.
