DeWalt DW2161 21 Piece, Not enough assortment

Not enough assortment
There are (6) #2 Phillips bit tips and (3) #2 Square recess bit tips in addition to #2 Phillips power bit and #2 Square recess power bit. I personally would not need that many Phillips bits nor Square recess bits. Would like to see Torx 15 and some Allen bits.

Actron CP9145, This product does a lot..

This product does a lot more than everyone else is saying
First of all, my background is as an electronics technician and engineer. I have designed electronic control circuitry for textile mills that used the same principles found in automotive computers. I got fascinated by automotive computers when my local dealership was unable [...]

Actron CP7677 Automotive, Good deal

Good deal
I’m a big fan of the high-end Flukes so I’ve worked with the best. Well, these defintitely aren’t the best, but you can’t beat what you get for the price. I got it for my brother for his car and it does the job well.
First, the bad:
1. No auto shut-off. You gotta make sure [...]

This is a great organizer for the price i paid! I only recommend this item if it is available for at least half of the suggested retail cost. Otherwise it is not worth the money!
Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here [...]

Irwin 5WR-3 Vise Grip, Indispensable!

Indispensable!
The 5 inch Vise Grips with wire cutter are an absolute necessity. Locking pliers that are small enough to fit in a pocket, and with wire cutters that will go through disproportionately large stuff.
These work as a small clamp, rivet tighteners, a handle extension, cutters for anything short of the hardest tempered wire, as [...]

Hitachi NT50AE2 18-Gauge, Excellent Tool

Excellent Tool
This is one of the best tools I have ever had. Operates flawlessly every time. I use Bostich nails/brads because they are easier to find (all sizes up to 2″) and the nailer works perfectly. The “height” adjustment is easy. The “jam release” mechanism is great - but the tool [...]

Bostitch PN100K Impact, Pneumatic Palm Nailer

Pneumatic Palm Nailer
I recently retired and have undertaken a project to build a woodworking shop-garage. Swinging a hammer has become a very tiresome chore, and I was considering the purchase of a framing nailer. Upon reviewing information from various manufacturers, I realized that a framing nailer is a very specialized tool.However, I happened [...]

Bosch PS50-2A 12-Volt, Excellent quality tool

Excellent quality tool
Before selecting this tool, i looked at Fein, Dremel, Sonicrafter, Secco and the multifunction tool from Harbor Freight.
All are good tools, the guy at Harbor Freight store told me that they had many returns. I really liked it for the price and the cheap accessories i.e. diamond blade for $5.99.
I finally selected the [...]

DEWALT DC509 36V, good but a bit fragile

good but a bit fragile
I don’t know if I should be putting this on the web, but I wanted to give everyone the lowdown on this light.
This light does a pretty good job of lighting your work area, but not near as good as corded. It is a bit fragile too and doesn’t seem [...]

Hitachi KM12VC 11 Amp, Dare I say it? Yes, I..

Dare I say it? Yes, I dare: Better Than Porter Cable
I played around with a bunch of routers and router combo packs before settling on this one. I played with the Bosch, Porter Cable, Dewalt, Milwalkee, and Makita, but none of them felt so solid in my hand or ergonically precise as the [...]
