Reviews
"It wasn't that it didn't look impressive or that it was too expensive but in the past I would just get out a few stones and oil to spend some time sharpening knives while camping. After a minute, I decided that this Pocket Pal would still be worth it so I ripped it open, read the brief instructions, and grabbed a relatively dull pocket knife of mine. It doesn't feel cheap and doesn't seem like it will randomly fall apart (I'm big into high quality / durability products and expect any item I purchase to be such no matter the price point) yet it is very light weight."
"I'm a bit of a pocket knife junkie, and am constantly pulling one out to open boxes, packaging, strip a wire, cut tags, you name it."
"I will not use it on my more expensive knives, but cheaper ones, machetes, and older blades work extremely well with this device."
"This little sharpener is the best tool of them all for maintaining the edge on a knife."
"After it arrived, just for S&Gs I decided to try it on a kitchen knife that was so dull, it had been relegated to letter opening and within, no lie, 5 minutes this bad boy had put a paper slicing edge back on it."
"Very well built and capable to provide a service for all types of knives and scissors."
"The edge is a bit shallow but nothing less than what you'd expect from a small sharpening device."
"From kitchen knives, to pocket knives and even a couple of large Bowie knives."

"First time using it takes some getting use to."
"I find myself using my old clamp with these stones."

Reviews
"Second, the sharpening stone did a terrific job restoring the edge on my kitchen knives that had been woefully neglected. While the stone includes a useful angle guide that can be attached to a blade and the guide gives clear steps on prepping the stone and how to hold the blade when sharpening, it does not illustrate the manner in which the blade needs to be moved across the stone."
"the knife guide helps me a lot in keeping the knife at the proper angle."
"it takes some learning curves but works pretty good."
"I've never used a sharpening stone before, so am still practicing."
"After a while, I'll not need it as I'll get a good feeling of the angle."

Reviews
"If I had occasionally wiped a bit of WD-40 or some persistent lubricant like Break Free CLP on the wand, no doubt it would still be working fine. I kept the head of the old tool, still with plenty of magnetism, to hold small parts while working on this or that. That has an advantage of slightly magnetizing the parts, and then they will then hold on the end of a screwdriver making them easier to work with."
"It picked up a 25" Snap-on ratchet and a 2' crowbar with ease. The ratchet weighs in at a little over 5 lbs and the crowbar probably weighs a little more then that. If you need to pick up something bigger/heavier then a 25" ratchet, you might want to look into an alternative (mechanical claw) solution."
"This item however does not hold up to its claims. However rolling weight was a little more, I was able to roll a item that weighed 18 pounds. However the end with the magnet is a little large so it might not fit into every nook and cranny on my cars motor."
"The handle is a bit larger than expected and the telescoping bit sturdier than I imagined. It would likely be able to pull something 15 lbs across the ground, but not lift it off the ground."
"I dropped a couple metallic pieces into the disposal and didn't know it until I started it the next day."
"The magnet is so powerful that if you are trying to pick up a bolt, for example, that you dropped under the hood of a car, you only need to position the magnet in the general vicinity of the bolt to pick it up."
"(2) Retrieve them easily from a carpeted floor where tiny pieces are difficult to find."
"When bolts or washers or toold drop somewhere inside the engine compartment or wherever my hands cant reach, this can."

Reviews
"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."

"The day the tool arrived I was repairing a hole in a drywall ceiling in which the drywall was nailed up instead of using screws. Granted, pulling three drywall nails is a weak test case but the tool pulled them effortlessly."
"I ordered this to pull old rusty and often headless nails out of pallets that we recycle for crafts."
"Pulling all this covering out left hundreds if not a thousand small nails and staples in the wood ceiling and walls studs."
"This tool is just about perfect."
"However, they're great for pulling non pallet nails."
"Thought that this was the cat's meow but found that there is another nail puller that clamps on the nail as you pull."

Reviews
"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!"

Reviews
"Ok, I've broken more axes, mauls, hammers, hatchets and other hand tools than most will ever own in their life. 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 metal detect and I was running into problems where I wanted to metal detect gravel parkinglots. Only a minor con which isn't really a con but sometimes I smash the #*#*#* out of the coins trying to dig them out."
"OIt makes the swing part of the job so much easier on the muscles, it gives the right amount of impact on the target, in the case, rocks."
"I used this for a 6 week field camp as a geology major in college so it's gotten a lot of use in the short amount of time I had it."

Reviews
"The cross grain cut picture despite it looks like planed it is not, it is just right after cut, just incredible."
"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!"
"used once so far and bumped the back of my hand on the teeth."

"I guess it can't be helped, since the sharp points have to be thin for the cutter to cut. Ah well because of the blades that goes misaligned when you squeeze it hard, this doesnt cut female fan header pins off a strip well."
"These wire cutters have worked well for me so far."
"I generally use these to clean up small wiring like telecom or when i am doing small board mount soldering and i need to clean up some jacket issues or even small overflows of solder."
"I tend to grab these cutters as opposed to a small cuticle scissors or nail clipper as the black tips show exactly where you are cutting when faced with shiny wire and shiny atty posts."

"I can't speak about the Silky's, I'm sure they are great... but I do own the Corona and find the Bahco to be a much better saw. 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."
"I've cut down small trees with this thing one handed it's great to use it does not leave my side on any hiking or camping trip I take. Knife came very sharp. Cons. 1.)."
"I tested it in the back yard pruning some smallish 1-2" limbs from a pine tree and live oak. This is staying under the back seat of my truck and will be handy for camping or just general use around the house."
"Ideally I'd prefer something a bit smaller with finer teeth like a hacksaw blade, but I had trouble finding such a product on Amazon."
"After throwing a solid sharp on it with my WSKO (22.5 degrees) I processed 51lb of pork for sausage using only that knife...undersized and outmatched and it worked th rough it all."
"Really a very good product, can recommend in good confidence."
"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."
