Around our house, I actually use more power tools than my husband does. He's great with electronics and computers but when it comes to home repairs, forget about it. My all time favorite tool is my Dremel. It's small, light weight and can get in the tightest spots. Like it says on the instructions there are over 175 uses for the Dremel which include drilling, sanding, cutting, polishing...

I received this drill a couple of years ago as a birthday gift.  It was actually included as part of a set, which also included a circular trim saw, a fluorescent work light, a reciprocating saw, a battery charger, and a couple of 19.2 volt batteries.  Prior to receiving this drill, I had been using a Black & Decker 12 volt cordless drill/driver which served me well for several ye...

My husband received this Craftsman 19.2 Volt Cordless Drill for Christmas last year.  He seemed delighted and proceeded to store away his old cordless drill.  I couldn't understand what all the hoopla was about until I actually got to use it myself.I have my own corded drill for use indoors on small "girl" jobs.  I was re-doing our kitchen and I needed a drill for o...

Working construction, I'm pretty demanding when it comes to power tools.  I know what brands to trust for durability and effectiveness.  That's why I usually trust the dewalt brand name.  And this drill is no exception.  It's about standard weight, so it won't be too draining on you for overhead work. Also the batteries last a lot longer than the older 18 vol...

T-I-M-B-E-R. We used that word alot during the year 2005. My husband and I decided to have a house built on our land. The problem was....so many trees in the way. My husband is a hard worker and was really good at handling a chain saw. He decided to cut the trees down himself. We didn't just have a few, we had about fifty or more. Some trees were small and others big. He did a great jo...

I just didn't like to do hardware work like hammering and drilling .

But after I got this Punsch DIY power tool, hammering and drilling is so no longer a problem to me and I can really DIY with it for doing all the drilling on the walls , concrete , wood ...

I've been in the construction business for several years now, and from time to time you find you need to replace those old saws that have more than paid for themselves with newer versions of the same brand just for the added features... I was useing the same Makita circular saw...(or skill saw as some people call them), for over 10 years, when the cord was accidentally c...

Black Friday sale ads offered a Craftmans 19.2 volt drill.  I promised myself that if I was able to beat the crowd to the tool section and get this drill, I would throw out all of my cheaply made, "good deal", cordless drills.  I was one of the lucky ones to get this drill with the 25 pc bit set for half off the regular price.  When I got home I couldn't w...

In working with wood on small projects such as bird houses, I thought I had all the "saw power" I would ever need with a circular saw.  But to make things a lot easier, faster, and neater I found that I needed a miter saw.  I tried the hand saw with a miter box but that took forever and was very tiring.  So I asked my local handy hardware man what to do.  He recomm...

  I decided to tile my laundry room and wanted to buy an inexpensive wet tile saw to do the job.  The cheapest I could find was about $90 at a home improvements store.  I ended up buying this Craftsman for just a little more, at Sears.  What attracted me to it was the price and the fact that it has  a 3/4 HP motor. I installed ceramic tile and this made my job so m...
