"Anyway, I have had this thing for several months and I have used it to help build a turtle trap for my fish pond, several smaller cages for chicks, a chicken house/lay house, and, more recently, I boxed in one end of a three-sided cattle shed to make a larger chicken roost area. It can get frustrating when you have sunk hundreds of staples while wrestling with chicken wire that wants nothing more than to wrap itself back into a roll while you are on top of a ladder."

"They feel good in the hand and have a 3 jaw chuck, so you don't have to bother with swapping out collets."
"I don't know how it would perform against harder surfaces, but if you're looking for something to make very small holes... this does it."
"Works pretty well - it is large enough to fit easily into the hand without cramping, but not so wide as to encourage over-torquing and snapping the little bits."
"The tool is well made and the vice jaws grip the little drill bits solidly and works great.."
"Perfect for what I wanted."
"It is too bad, because it is a nicely appearing made tool, but it will not hold bits or taps straight. It takes a close look to be able to see this and can best be seen when you spin the head around, it is easy to see the bit or tap wobbles in an elliptical fashion and does not stay straight."
"(check the photos). It's literally impossible to get this thing to hold a bit centered or straight. It also ships from China, so you'll have to wait 4 weeks to find out what a horrible purchase this is if you make the mistake of buying it like I did."

"The first one I bought was a Dozuki dovetail saw when I first started learning hand-tool woodworking. I can honestly say I may not have persevered to this point in my hand-tool woodworking education if I was unable to use a sharp saw. And when you don't have a hands-on teacher, i think it can be a slower learning experience, but it is totally possible to do if you have the passion, determination, and some decent tools. I would advise anyone inexperienced with japanese saws to take a few moments to watch some you-tube videos demonstrating how to properly use this tool. Sometimes this is less painful for my back because I'm standing straight up instead of bent over a saw bench with a western hand-saw. If you are planing on making any type of joints please do yourself a favor and get a Dozuki style saw as well as this one. The stiff back plate on the dozuki (just like the back on a western-style dovetail, tenon, or miter saw) keeps the thin japanese saw plate stiff so that your cuts come out perfectly straight. The bottom line is this: If you use this Ryoba saw for the tasks it was intended for, it produces great results."
"Apparently, it makes a long job short!"
"I'm somewhat new to hand saws and I feel like these are easier to control than the traditional "english" saws which cut on the push stroke as opposed to the pull stroke with this saw."
"This saw is big enough to tackle a big job, but small enough to get into small or tight spaces."
"Super useful for switching between cross-cutting and rip cutting."
"I'm moving to this Japanese hand saw after using an American Shark saw for a while...What a worthy choice!"

I've used them, abused them, and feel I can honestly say that I know a well-made tool when I see one; whether it is a true Ames shovel or an Estwing hatchet. To the reviewer that said his 11-year old daughter broke it on the first day, got news for him, I'm 6'5", almost 300 pounds, can probably lift my weight plus some, and I am NOT going to break this hammer this year. Considering that I gem-hunt and gold prospect dry placers, that amounts to thousands of blows by a gorilla that knows how to break a tool. Yes, the handle is rubber (overcoating the single forged piece of steel underneath), and yes, it is a hammer. It is a rather BIG rock hammer, the sticker on it said it was 20-ounces, and I didn't weigh it when I got it, but I'm guessing closer to 26-ounces, by the feel of it compared to my ripping hammer (again, I'm stuck on a 11-year old girl breaking this beast...it's like saying, 'and yes, my daughter just came out of diapers yesterday and she threw my 20-pound sledge out in the yard and broke it, right there, on the spot!)."

I find the cutting of the Bahco to be superior and have a more natural 'feel' to it (may be something with the push/pull of the 2 saws, I will have to read up on that a little, don't quite get it). But I don't like the cutting action of the Corona at all, it sometimes tries to bend, drag, and just feels 'dull' even tho it cuts."

"It's located where you would want to grip the handle while in use so I kept hitting the button in the middle of cutting causing the blade to almost close up on me."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Both sets have a few sizes the other does not have but are very similar (the Stanley has a few smaller sockets and a ¼” wrench, the Crescent has a few larger sockets). The case supplied with the Stanley set is very poor, the sockets can be almost impossible to remove without breaking your nails. Although this is a pretty nice set for the money but I found a much better set for about the same amount of money: Crescent CSWS10 3/8-Inch Drive Socket Wrench Set, 52-Piece. The case for these sockets is much better, everything fits nicely and sockets are easily removed as they are not ‘clamped in’ as with the Stanley sockets."
"The black chrome look is nice, not that looks are important when using a ratchet set, but they do look nicer than the usual chrome socket sets I have seen. The black chrome does make it very easy to see what the socket size is so you don't have to search or squint for sizes like you might on a chrome set."
"The case is awful and frankly black was a bad idea as if a socket is dropped inside of a work area it becomes a pain to locate."
"The tools come packaged in such a way to where the lid of the case is actually not attached to the bottom and is behind it, to display the sockets sitting inside the case. After this, every single socket had to come out of the case to remove stips of foam padding from between each socket, and the plastic of the case. The "snapping" mechanism that holds the sockets in the case make removing the sockets difficult, and putting them back in, as equally difficult, most times using a screwdriver to "pry" each socket out of its correct place in the case."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"There have been excellent reviews of both the Leatherman Wingman and Rebar, as well as all the others, but because there are so many models, it can be hard to choose which one to buy. I hope to help in the choice of economical "Full-size" multitools, as Leatherman calls a number of models. The "full size" line of tools are all about 100mm long when folded, and include the Charge TTi, the New Wave, the Rebar, and the Wingman. If your most common use of the tool will be for cutting with the knife blade(s), then the Wingman would be more convenient. If you want a multitool small enough to carry in your pocket, one that you will keep in your desk or kitchen junk drawer, if you will mostly use the knife, and find a scissor handy, I'd recommend the Wingman. If, however, you want a more fully competent multitool, that can compare well with the much more expensive Wave and Charge, a tool that includes excellent file, awl, and superior wire cutter, choose the Rebar. In any case, I have an "old Supertool", made when they still forged "USA" into the pliers, and for the life of me I can see no difference in quality. (Incidentally, they are still made in the USA, but a stupid California law keeps them from stamping it on the tool.)."
"My most recent one is the Surge which is an incredible multitool but too large and heavy to carry in anything but my EDC bag. The blade had a pretty rough edge on it so I cleaned it up a bit and it is quite sharp. The package opener is a great idea and I think this is an addition that should be in more of their tools in the future. I would pay more money for sure if it was done in the same quality as their other knives, or even upgrading to a Titanium model. However, for emergency kits, the car, in the drawer, EDC etc this is an excellent choice."
"The Charge Is by far the best multitool for me with the best quality, so in the scale where Charge is the best the Wingman is pretty good. The package opener has become my third most used tool behind the pliers and the scissors. Offer spare parts of their models so the enthusiast can modify or customize their tools. And to be able to buy different parts and we decided when or how use them, for example. I never use the saw in the Charge or the ruler in the wingman but I really use the bit lock and the package opener, and during weekends I used a lot the knife and the bottle opener."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The construction is very solid and can turn the most novice knife sharpener into a pro if judging the blade edge. However, I would add a razor sharp blade is not as forgiving as a sharpened blade. Practice With a Cheap Knife: The real skill is when to let go of the trigger so that is does not grind more on the tip of the blade than the recommended "1 inch per second" and following the contour of the knife edge while maintaining proper contact with the belt. It Can Make a Mess: After sharpening 8 or so blades I noticed my dining table (live in an studio so no man cave garage here) covered in shavings and whatnot. I also wished I had a face mask for the first marathon since you will be looking and making excuses to sharpen every blade in the house to make it pass the paper test. Master the Marathon: I noticed that the main difference between say a kitchen knife and pocket knife is the angle since they both use the same main 3 belt grits (coarse, medium and fine). If I’m going to have a sharpening marathon I separate my kitchen and pocket knifes yet use the same belts instead changing the belts per group of knives."
"The Worksharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Ken Onion edition...For 7 months I debated w/ myself over and over about "biting the bullet" and getting a power tool to help me sharpen knives more efficently. If the weight of the knife is all the pressure you use, the blade can easily be "leaned back" and hovered past the belt and the sharpness you seek comes faster. Set the knife into the sharpener, and REST it on the angle guide, using JUST enough pressure to keep it sliding against the guide. This is a great tool for beginners, and a Godsend for experienced sharpeners, but it doesn't possess the power of an angle or bench grinder. Remember that sharpening isn't a race, and if you don't feed your family doing it, its far better to proceed SLOWLY and watch what youre doing. NEVER drag the tip of any knife blade more than 1/2 way off the belt. Start w/ tool OFF, set blade into the angle guide, and using the weight of the blade, and GENTLE guidance, manuver the blade toward the tip, following the shape of the blade. If you are using the "crossbar" blade guide, DO NOT press the knife edge into it, that will dull your knife, defeating the purpose. The coarser belts will produce loads of fragments that can gum up the sharpening guide, cassette workings etc. I sharpened a RUSTY old HC steel butcher's knife, started w/ the coarsest belt I could find, established a "working edge", and went from there. All belted abrasive tools need time/patience to get good, but it'll be less time than with stones!! The "medium grit" belt is normally used for sharpening a well-cared for blade on occasion as needed, the fine grit for semi-regular honing, where you want something more aggressive than a steel, but less than attempting to adjust a primary grind to facilitate sharpness. Also, if you have a combo edge knife, each portion of the edge must be sharpened INDEPENDENTLY. Sharpen the plain edge parts as normally done and then follow the directions for sharpening the serrated parts the way you would a fully serrated blade."
"Aslong as you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS you will get great results.keep the edge perpendicular to the belt and stop the tip in the middle of the belt and kill the power you won't get rounded tips.also place the knife in position before turning it on, otherwise you'll end up making you knife a recurve."
"Also, I ordered several additional 3/4 x 12 inch belts in varying grits from Econaway Abrasives (I don't work for them) so I am set for years. If you are looking for the perfect gift for a hunter, fisherman, or knife enthusiast, then this is it!"
