Reviews
"When I first pulled it out of the packaging, I was afraid that it wouldn't fit my rechargeable drill but it fit just fine."
"Nice adjustability of the center drill bit inside the circle saw component."
"Thus there is no way to reliably order a Dewalt arbor for a 3/8" drill to fit a hole saw with a 5/8"-18 engagement thread."
"As this was my first hole saw and I didn't already have the mandrel portion, I ordered the combo of 2"-dia (2"-max-depth) hole saw and 7/16"-shank mandrel [DW1803] recommended by Amazon. The 2 pegs in the silver-colored locking collar snap into one of the 2 opposing-hole pairs in the bottom of any Dewalt hole saw to hold the cutting end in place, but at the same time prevent the hole saw from locking itself onto the mandrel under the torque of drilling. Just slip the mandrel shank into your drill chuck & tighten down, then with the drill positioned the way you'll be using it (butt end against your belly), use one hand to pull the locking collar toward you as far as you can, and the other hand to screw the barrel end of the hole saw onto the threaded part of the mandrel. You should end up such that tightening the barrel part all the way down leaves the locking pins misaligned with both of the crosswise pairs of receiving holes, at which point you unscrew the barrel just enough to allow the pins to snap into the nearest hole pair. Lastly, I used the centering hole left in the tenon by the pilot bit of the hole-saw mandrel by drilling a same-1/4"-diameter hole the rest of the way through the center of the mortise (which in my case only went 1.5" sideways into a 4x4, roughly halfway through) and then using a lag screw started from the opposite side of the 4x4 to firmly fasten everything together."
"This quick change Mandrel is required when using other style hole cutting saw blades."
"I purchased (http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-D180034-8-Inch-Standard-Bi-Metal/dp/B00005LEZB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419370355&sr=8-1&keywords=DEWALT+D180034+2-1%2F8-Inch+Standard+Bi-Metal+Hole+Saw) as well from Amazon which is a great product."
"The locking pins will even match up on my other hole saws so...I am not sure if this is by design or by accident but the end result is they fit and it really makes your hole saw fit good and snug."
"Mostly, I want to address the 1-star reviews—those who are breaking the pilot bit are doing so because they're not pre-drilling a smaller pilot hole first."

Reviews
"sharp and well made... very hard to controll but not fault of saw its just bvery difficult to hold exactly vertical !!"
"The steel is pretty strong, but won't hold up to a super powerful drill motor if you go too fast."
"Having a corded electric drill would probably be best, but i was able to cut four holes with my cordless dewalt drill."
"I have literally built 15 sets of cornhole boards with this hole saw."
"My first cut, the center post drill bit that guides the say broke clean off!!!"
"I didn't like this hole saw because it is very flimsy."
"I was able to use the hole saw to still make guidelines for the jigsaw cuts on some cornhole boards, so I finished the job... just not getting the value from this purchase that I'd expected."
"I was able to cut one hole in 1/4" hardboard using a drill press, and the result was a jagged hole, lots of vibration, and I was concerned that it might break."

"When I first pulled it out of the packaging, I was afraid that it wouldn't fit my rechargeable drill but it fit just fine."

Best Hole Saws

HolePro T-200 1-5/8" to 8" Adjustable Hole Cutter for Recessed Lights Speakers. Twin High Speed Steel HSS Blades use ¼ Drill Power of a Hole Saw to Cut Sheetrock Plastic Soft-woods NO PLYWOOD/PLASTER
** DRILL NOT INCLUDED *** ***NOT FOR PLASTER *** NOT FOR ENGINEERED WOODS SUCH AS PLYWOOD OR OSB OR MDF*** HSS BLADES NOT REPLACEABLE *** Great for DIYer cutting holes in soft sheetrock for recessed light cans and speakers. High speed steel blades cut through sheetrock and have a thin kerf profile to cut through wood, plastics, and delicate acoustic tile. Orange knob makes it simple to limit the cutting depth to reduce risk of cutting wires and pipes behind the sheetrock or paneling. 11" OD Shield - Cuts perfect holes from 1-5/8" to 8" - replacing hole saw kits with multiple saws.
Reviews
"This tool does exactly what it is supposed to do. The HSS blades that come with the kit were fairly dull after 8 cuts through the 2-layer ceiling. I ordered the carbide blades from the manufacturer for the next ceiling and was thrilled with the results."
"My research showed that a 6” can light might take a larger cut out, so I bought my lights first, took them out of the packaging and confirmed the size hole I needed to cut. You just set each blade to the marked size on the hole cutter measure bar (eg, I had some 6" cans that needed a 7" cut-out, and some 4" cans that needed a 5" cutout). I only had to identify the 'center' of the hole and started the pilot bit on that marking, and the hole was perfectly round, and cut in seconds where I wanted it. I highly recommend this hole cutter for the DIYer who has a home project requiring cutting perfect, holes!"
"I could cut 2 holes then had to sharpen the cutters. Since you can't buy new cutters for this model, I felt I was being forced to purchase the pro model for 15 holes."
"But most jobs you cut the same sized holes so you are not changing w each cut. One mistake I did make - I bought this for installing 6" and 8" ceiling speakers, thinking it's an 8" hole cutter , should be fine - my bad."
"The yellow rubber gasket sealed to the ceiling and the blades gave a super clean cut. The seal on the drill shaft is wonderful and the spring action is solid and precise."

"The best way to sum up this hole punch is simple: It's the Cadillac of hole punchers. This hole puncher will punch holes and punch holes through paper like none-other. If you want to go and buy one of those weak hole punches from Wally World for $3, go ahead you pleb, but if you want to become an overnight executive -- get this hole punch --- If you do, all of your dreams will come true."
"5 sheets of ordinary paper is about it's limit while remaining easy."
"Doesn’t have the most prominent edge to line things paper up for consistent punch."
"This punch says it can go through 15 pages, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could actually go through up to 20."
"I needed a 3 hole punch and this met my expectations!"
"great quality + price."
"Super easy to use."

Reviews
"Excellent produce however be aware that if your using it to load a S&W 9mm Shield magazine you have to file the edges of the item to increase it's width so it slides up and down the magazine."
"Note that it comes with a clip that holds the aligner to the back of the UpLULA, making it easy to take it on and off without losing it."
"I succesfully use this item in conjuction with a Maglula UpLula 9mm Loader/Unloader device when dealing with Sig Sauer P938 6/7 rounds magazines."
"Once you get it figured out it is a good speed loader,"
"might seem a bit pricy, but you're buying the ease of use factor, not just a piece of plastic."
"Pricey but came with two, one for the regular Maglula and a second for the Baby Maglula."
"Works awesome to load 1911 mags."
"I have the UpLula loader mainly for use with Glock 21 and KRISS Vector high capacity mags but I also have been needing to use it on my Sig P220 mags as well. I have found that it takes extra effort to maintain alignment on the single stack mags so this will be the real trick for those."

Best Drill & Tap Sets

Greenlee DTAPKIT 6-32 to 1/4-20 6-Piece Combination Drill and Tap Set
Greenlee combination bits for drilling, tapping, and countersinking--all with one bit. Greenlee drill/tap combination bits are a high-quality solution when you need to drill, tap, and countersink a hole quickly and accurately. Previously to create a threaded hole you would have to perform three separate operations, each requiring its own tool: a drill bit, a tap, and a countersink tool. For use with up to 10-gauge mild steel, the Greenlee combination bits make drilling, tapping, and countersinking holes faster and easier than ever before. Highlights Drill, tap, and countersink in one quick and easy action Just as precise and considerably faster than using standard bits, tapping, and countersinking tools Hardened high-grade tool steel construction for use in up to 10-gauge metal Back-tapered to avoid damage from over drilling Strong hex shank ensures strong connection to drill Quick change adapter included for easy bit switching.

Reviews
"Although it is a drill and tap bit in one, I strongly reccomend drilling a pilot hole if you are working with anything other than sheet metal. Just pick a bit about the size or very slightly smaller than the drill section of this bit and pilot the hole with that. The good: 1/4 inch speed lock base, tap with your portable electric drill, threads fit well, great quality."
"I did use aluminum tap fluid/oil."
"I've used a couple of the bits numerous times & they are still as sharp as the day I purchased them."
"The Greenlee Combo Drill/Tap Set is Simply Amazing."
"Works great, but do NOT try to drill, tap, and countersink all in one step with thicker metal.... That is a pipe dream."
"I made brackets to hold generic bike mounts(purchased on Amazon) and it worked great."
"Works great on just about any material."
"I found myself doing a fair amount of electrical recently and these things work great for tapping holes into electrical boxes for grounding screws."

Best Reamers

RIDGID 29983 223S Stainless Steel Pipe Reamer, 1/4-inch to 1-1/4-inch Inner/Outer Reamer
Made to last, the versatile RIDGID 29983 Stainless Steel Pipe Reamer includes 45 cutting edges on the interior cone, allowing for fast, clean inner reaming and outer deburring and beveling of tubes. Every tool that bears the RIDGID brand is engineered to the same high standards of quality, strength and endurance, as was that first heavy-duty pipe wrench more than 80 years ago. Ideal for reaming on stainless steel and copper tubing.
Reviews
"This helps immensely with aiding to get the pipes to fit inside their counterparts much easier so you don't have to wrench on or hammer fittings and risk damaging the pipes- Much smoother deburring than the common 3 blade ones and it feels like it will last."
"Steel circular file teeth appear to be very durable - we'll see about that after several years. Note that according to Ridgid this is for tubing or conduit not steel water pipe. (I suspect that in a pinch it would work OK - hardened steel.)."
"This is the PERFECT deburring tool no matter what your field."
"So I keep one in a soldering bag, one in my plumbing bucket (use with Milwaukee press tool), and this latest will be with me beburring EMT. I haven't have to debur any stainless steel, so I can't comment on the efficacy there."
"Good chamfering tool, worth the money if you run copper pipe, also works on plastic."
"I just received this and tried it out on Type M rigid copper and soft 1/4" OD copper tubing."
"used this on different thicknesses of copper lines, worked very well and really helps you get a clean flare."
"What can I say..... it's Ridgid!"

Reviews
"This worked fantastic for my 2000 Suzuki Hayabusa to repair my stripped oil pain drain plug threads."
"Changing out spark plugs on my 2001 Honda civic got to number 3 cylinder on it started to get super thight and you could feel the threads starting to strip I thightened it back in so I could still drive it until I had the money to fix ( time sert kits are expensive over $200 for the kit) then I found this kit ordered it and worked great only took about an hour with a few beers while doing the job."
"Seems to be holding though, and allows you to use the original spark plug style, unlike one of the other repair kits that forces you to change to the "long reach" style plug, which could cause a check engine light."
"This product is amazing it literally took me 20 minutes to fix my F 150."
"Make sure you out a ton of grease on the tap to catch all the aluminum shavings, then I used a thin metal rod with q tips taped to it so I could reach down in the spark plug "valley" to pull up any loose shavings."
"I used it on my '84 toyota pickup (22r), and I really disliked cutting into that aluminum head but it seemed to go ok. I managed to hit the piston while I was threading (hand smacks forehead) so make sure you either don't get all cavalier with your wrenchin' or ensure your piston is out of the way."

"Very well made and effective."
"My feelings are KEO- If you cant spend 5 extra minutes to take burs off and make sure the cutting edges are sharp, I will find someone who will. In fact this is why I wanted a set from Keo- to have a nice sharp set that I could use and I got basically the same thing as the inexpensive chinese set my friend has. If Keo had cared, they would have asked me to send them in, offered to send me a set that was checked and double checked,\. and then --when receiving the set I sent them, would have done whatever to correct."

"The box they come in is pretty cool but is cheap compressed wood and after a few uses the nails started coming out of it and After using these bits I would say the price is what got me to buy them for sure they are very cheaply made and the bits without bearings perform ok but the bearings are junk and fly apart way to easy but after replacing the bearings with ones I ordered from another supplier they are ok bits."
"Just got these today, routing super soft pine, two different bits edges shattered in under a foot of work."
"On top of that, it was rated pretty high by consumers so I thought this was exactly what I needed. As nice as it is to have all the different kinds of bits, I still recommend buying higher quality individual bits that you need."
"After less than 1 foot of total usage of the roman ogee bit, the bearing flew apart and ruined my wood."
"The set is a bargain, but unfortunately for me, while using the 1/4" straight bit to cut a groove in some MDF board, the bit broke in half."
"Within the first minute of using the flush cut bit with a bearing, the bearing shattered into pieces."

Reviews
"Tig torch is decent (WP17), but hose is not flexible (pretty lousy). The torch connector is the same as for the Eastwood and older AHP, so you can get an upgraded CK flex cable. The folks that sell HTP have a CK hose/torch combo you can upgrade with. I blew through the first set of consumables pretty quick, so you should buy extras if you plan to use this very much at all. Although this welder doesn't have all the features of the better tig machines, the arc seems stable and consistent. The quality of the additional stuff, like the argon regulator/flow meter, and compressor regulator (for plasma) seems cheap."
"I suspect most of the not working complaint from people could be avoided if these units were checked for proper operation before shipping to the final customer. I think that boat ride can place a lot of stress on vulnerable areas, Other than that, I did some other exploring when I had the cover off, This is constructed out of quality name brand components, I saw Toshiba, TI, Sanyo just to name a few."
"Good home welder wouldn't recommend for anything other than projects around the house."
"Plasma torch works awesome!"
"Primarily bought this machine for cutting holes in Stainless Steel."
"I'm used to the tech school's plasma cutter, high end, I hope with more practice the machine and I will get through the thicker cuts. All in all, after a quite a bit of research finding the correct wall plug, I'm happy with this unit and it will help me finish my 2nd log splitter build."
"Mine didn't last 1 year quit working so if you buy this you better think about what to do if it breaks and who's going to fix it at least it came with the handle I can tie a rope to it and maybe use it for a boat anchor."

Best Brazed Tools

American Carbide Tool Carbide-Tipped Tool Bit for Threading, Neutral, K21 Grade, 0.25" Square Shank, E 4 Size
The American Carbide Tool E-style K21 grade carbide-tipped brazed tool bit has a neutral cutting direction and a sharp tip with a 60-degree angle for fine threading on steel and steel alloys. The tool has a side cutting edge and end cutting edge, with the tool shape style defining which cutting edge is principal and auxiliary. A right-hand tool has its principal cutting edge on the right side of the tool to feed into the workpiece from right to left, a left-hand tool feeds into the workpiece from left to right, and a neutral-hand tool will cut either left to right or right to left. The side cutting and end cutting edge angles, in combination with the angle at which the tool is positioned in relation to the workpiece (also called the lead angle), influence the tool's cutting shape and action. Positive rake angle provides a sharp edge for making continuous cuts.

Best Industrial Metal Cutting Circular Saws

Woodward Fab (HECSPPIPENOTCH) 2" Pipe and Tube Hole Saw Notcher
Reviews
"the cage I'm building is 1.75 OD .140 walled DOM seamless tubing .unlike the other review stated about the clamp I have no problem with it like all long runs of tubing you have to support the other end your not cutting so the clamp does work fine for me ."
"Only drawback is when doing higher angle cuts more then 40deg I had to get creative and use a piece of L bracket to space the tubing down further."
"The pipe clamp has a little more play than I'd like, and the degree arc that's sort of attached/sort of not, is also is less than confidence inspiring."
"The tube youre cutting sits just a hair off center, but besides that this has worked wonders for building roll cages in a few of my cars."
"Would be a 5 star if it fit my 12 inch drill press as stated and the hole was centered on the pipe."
"Excellent notcher for the price."
"Good notcher and a reasonable price."

"the smallest one snapped when cutting through steel however that may have been a user error due to the feed speed."
"Have only used e of them but am impressed with the quality for such a seemingly lost price and the performance in getting."

Reviews
"This is my first year sugaring and I was pleased with the ease of this product."
"We moved into a new house with some maple trees in the yard, and decided to try our hand at making some maple syrup."
"I drill a 7/16" hole in the cap and insert the plastic tubing, and use a strap around the tree to keep the jugs from blowing away."
"I did learn that it is better to warm these up before trying to fit the tubing and taps together, and that a little time at warmer temps to soften and straighten the tubing lines is helpful."
"Decided to tap some trees on my property this year, came across these not knowing anything about tapping trees."
"These have worked out great."
"Last year I used larger metal spiles, but large food grade hose is very expensive."
"We used the kit along with food grade buckets we picked up for free at the local Wendy's."

Best Industrial Drill Bits

DEWALT DW1361 Titanium Pilot Point Drill Bit Set, 21-Piece
These bits are also suitable for drilling in wood and plastic and are ideal for commercial and residential applications. Titanium pilot point for longer bit life.
Reviews
"Like most of modern day Dewalt stuff, they are made in China from Chinese steel. If you want the best, payseven times as much and purchase from a reputable American manufacturer. Some people give less than five star reviews for these bits complaining that they are cheap Chinese junk. I can't understand reviewers that buy a $10 tool, then complain because it is of lower quality than a $50 version."
"I bought this set several yrs ago for myself first, and they have done what I'd expect from them."
"These bits would not be suitable to use for making tapered holes as each bit comes to an extended point."
"I bought this drill bit set at a reduced cost during the 12 days preceding Christmas."
"I had a smaller version of this kit for many years and it has been a go to for my day to day uses."
"Don't really know how to evaluate drill bits, etc., but offers a great variety and every bit I have used has worked well (was especially interested in and thankful for the variety of bits for concrete/bricks as opposed to wood)."
"I've used this more than any other bit index I've owned excluding professionally."
"Both of my 1/8 drill bits broke within a week and a half of each other and was the first time I used them both."

"Did not get dull or lose shape when used on stainless steel, glass or leather."
"I Just Received My 30 Piece Set Of Titanium Coated Diamond Burr's And They Work Awesome::: I Do Believe That Because Of The Way They Are Made They Will Last A Long Time And So I Give It 5 Stars::: A Quality Product And They Came A Day Early Than Was Expected!!!!"
