The Pocket Chain Saw is a chain saw in a can with two handles.  You supply the power.  One person or two.  The saw consists of a linked chain blade which rolls up for storage in the can, or opens for use as a saw, and two handles attached to hooks by a cord.  You unroll the blade (carefully!), hook on the handles and you are ready to go.  If you are alone, wrap the saw ...

  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...

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...

The Task Force Drywall Keyhole Saw or "jab saw" is inexpensive, modest and exactly what is needed to cut drywall. I've been using one for years now and I've been very pleased. The blade is not so sharp, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE! Drywall is a very easy thing to cut and I've had problems with jab saws that have double action, razor sharp blades because as soon as you hit so...

I have had my DeWalt Heavy Duty Reciprocating Saw for a few years now. It is a great tool to have. It can also be known as the Sawsall. It is 6.5 Amps. It cuts a variety of things. You can use a thin blade in it or use a courser blade, depending what you want to cut / saw. It is good for many different uses. I have used it for automotive work, such as cutting a tailpipe on a vehicle. I hav...

This saw is ideal for wordworking, carpentry work, homeowners, do-it-yourselfers, and so on. It has a nice long electric cord. It has nice safety features on it such as the spring and guard. It has an adjustable bottom so you ca...

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 want to share with you something I caught on sale a Sears recently. The Black & Decker laser jigsaw has a powerful 5.5a motor on it, not to mention the quick clamp blade change, making changing out blades so easy. It also has a laser guide making it almost fool proof for cutting straight lines in even the most awkward positions. It also has electronic speed control that allows y...

I was building a movie shelf for all my dvd's and vcr tapes and I needed a circular saw to cut some cherry wood for my project and I borrowed my fathers Craftsman 7 1/4 inch Circular Saw this saw delivers 5000 rpms and only runs 14 amps. This saw has a built in laser trac light so as your cutting your wood the red laser beam keeps you in line with the measurements you laid out on ...

When we first went camping, we didn't take everything. As it came time for a fire, we realized we didn't have anything to cut wood with. We could only get small branches and break them up by hand. Not only did that hurt, but the branches didn't burn long. The camper next to us, let us use his saw. He said this is the best for camping and cutting wood. When he left he gave ...

A group of women at my church are currently using the study I Saw the Lord by Anne Graham Lotz.  I am doing it to of course.  Anne takes studying God's word and turns it in to a 5 step process.  Step 1: Read God's Word.  (You take a passage of scripture and write it out)Step 2: What Does God's Word Say? (Just write out the nouns and verbs)Step 3: What Does God...

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...

This is another great tool from the Ryobi One + 18V family. This is in my opinion a great line of tools, where you do not have to pay for a battery and charger each time you buy a tool. With one + you buy everything separate. I purchased a contractor type set with a sawzall, circular saw, drill, orb sander, dust buster, and radio for about $150. How can you beat that price?!? Ok this rev...

The FatMax Jabsaw by Stanley is over the top and there's no need for it. In my opinion this is a prime example of the tool industry trying to lure the homeowner Joes that don't know any better by beefing up something that doesn't need beefing up and making it worse in the process. There's absolutely no need to have a double action, sharptooth technology tempered and hardened bla...

If you enjoy people being tortured and killed in sick, gruesome ways, then this movie is for you. The story line sounded like it might be a good thriller movie, but it was just the opposite. Whoever wrote this script is sick and twisted as is the people who watch and support this movie. Obviously, for some reason, there are people out there that like this movie, otherwise they wouldn't be...

I love coffee, especially in the morning. But this coffee maker is trigerring the worse of me. It is dripping from everywhere, just tilting it does a mess, so imagine when you pour... I'm using (and washing) more towels then ever. It's hard to put the lid, you seem to never be at the good place to start and then it block. Start again.When you put water in it, be aware that there is a ho...
