  • DeWalt DW056

    I needed more outlets in the shop and hired a friend of mine to do the work. When he got out his cordless to remove the wall plates I thought maybe I had made a mistake if he tries to put them back on with this thing. Next he is putting the new box in and I heard this clicking and he was putting the screw in just as much as he wanted to. O.K. I say. What is that Todd. He just laughed and handed it to me. After a few screws, lag bolts and nuts and bolts I knew I had to have one. I gave it back to him and sure enought he put the wall plate back on with it. This tool is the most usefull thing I have now! I have around 20 hours of use and love it. The cordless drill gets allot of rest now. Put that screw right at the depth you want just by letting the impact take over! The one draw back is the cost. I bought mine on e-bay on a tool only auction. I had the batteries and charger for my other DeWalt tools. Cost me $75.00 plus shipping to Alaska which made the total $109.00. I would spend more after using mine as much as I have. I would use caution using it above its intended use. I was driving 1/2X8" lag bolts in 4X4's and it started to leak oil out the bit holder. Didn't hurt it and finished with the 1/2" impact driver I should have been using in the first place!

    • A review of the Kreg Precision Trak & Stop Kit
      by twistsol

      Summary
      I built my miter station last summer and used the Kreg Precision Trak & Stop Kit. The kit was just the starting point. 8 feet of track and a single flip stop didn’t meet my needs since I was building a miter station the width of my shop, nearly 24 feet. I added four 48” pieces of top track and three additional swing stops so I could have two left and two right. Finally, I added metric rules to the top. Total cost breakdown is as follows

    • Review of VIX-type Self Centering drill bits
      by LCHIEN
      I have always had trouble mounting small hardware on small wood boxes, with the hasps and hinges always looking slightly off perfectly square - particularly a problem with flat head screws and countersunk hardware which aligns the hardware to the hole location and centers on the hole.

      I'm talking small wood screws. I place and mark the hardware carefully and mark the center of the hole with a sharp awl.
      The problem comes about with small bits like 1/16 and 5/64 and 3/32"...

    • Grizzly Overarm Blade Guard review.
      by twistsol
      Since my new shop is in the basement, dust collection is a bit more important than when I had my own building and could do as I pleased in the shop. With that in mind, I upgraded the dust collection on my table saw. I purchased the Grizzly Overarm Blade Guard to use with the saw.

      First impressions were that this is an extremely solid and well built unit. It's made mostly of steel and connects to a 4" DC hose. There were a number of issues getting it set up and installed, and a...

    • Kreg KMA 3220 5mm Shelf Pin Jig
      by twistsol



      I decided to look for the rock bottom cheapest 32mm drilling system available that would let let me create real 5mm holes spaced 32mm apart, that was easy to use, and didn’t require a bunch of setup time. I’m really surprised at how much I like this little Keg jig especially when you consider the price of $34.99, and it has everything included. There were a couple of jigs cheaper but you needed to buy a self-centering 5mm bit to go along with them so they would...

    • Knife marking pencil Accutrax
      by LCHIEN
      Here's a tool I found useful for marking. Accutrax pencil blade marking knife.



      I have one I've been using on and off for a while. Its a fine pencil lead in the shape of a utility blade that can be installed in any utility knife handle and used with a straight edge, combination square, saddle square etc. to mark easily seen, fine lines on wood..

      Here's mine. I have not broken it, it seems to be quite sturdy. The sharp edge lasts a long time. I'm still on the...

    • Saddle squares
      by LCHIEN
      Hey, I'm sharing one of my favorite tools. A Veritas Saddle Square. Actually I have two in different sizes. This is the large size for marking 2x4 and 4x4 (shown on 4x4 here). One of those tools that makes woodworking a pleasure.



      They're great for continuing lines from side to side. And even side to opposite side.
      Works really well when the board has a rounded edge or some wane where the edge is not really sharp and square but the two adjacent faces are square to...
