Lightweight enough for easy portability, this 15-gallon compressor from DEWALT lets you repair and perform maintenance work on cars, as well as a variety of equipment, and can also help with nailing projects and blowing dust away from your work area. Ideal for home or small shop use, its quiet, 78 dBA noise level and oil-free design make for a more pleasant, less messy working experience, while its ability to efficiently operate air tools like paint sprayers and ratchet wrenches gives you plenty of options. The D55168 also minimizes down-time and stands up to wear and tear, thanks to its 200 PSI max tank pressure and 5.4 SCFM at 90 PSI operation.
I bought one of these last night for 359 at home depot. After taking it out of the box, I saw that it was slightly different from the others that I had seen at the store. Perhaps Dewalt made some changes to the product. The differences that I noted were: 1) the cord is longer; about 5 ft. 2) the plastic shroud covers all of the pressure lines. 3) The on/off switch is different; it feels cheaper. 4) The valve on the bottom of the tank is different. On a flat surface, the relief valve now has about 1mm of clearance so it can open all the way; that's definitely an improvement. Overall, I would say that this air compressor has very good performance for its size and weight. I'm satisfied with the price and excited to see how it performs under load. I made sure to break in the motor/pump as per the manual, so hopefully this compressor will be maintenance-free for a long time.

Boasting an ultra-efficient cutting speed of 6,500 RPM and a two-position side handle to reduce user fatigue, the DC413KL from DEWALT handles a wide variety of heavy-duty materials--from thick tile to metal to electrical cables--with ease. This cordless cut-off kit owes its robust performance to a steady speed, high-torque motor and a rough-and-tough jam-pot gear case for proper alignment, less noise, and the ability to get in to even the tightest work area. Change wheels in minutes without a wrench thanks to the quick-change wheel release system and spindle lock button, and trust the trigger switch with lock-off feature to guard against time-wasting, unplanned start-ups. Incredibly versatile, the DC413KL even deals well with ornamental and handrail welds.
I bought this on sale a few months back and finally got a chance to put it to some real use this past weekend. Using a grinding wheel, it worked well for smoothing out welds. Lucky I had 2 batteries, because it poops out fairly quickly. It does not slow down, just stops and starts when the battery gets low. Sorry I didn't time the battery life. I was pushing fairly hard on it (same as I would a plug in grinder of the same size) and it maybe lasted 3-5 minutes? I am happy with it, as I can carry it with me it the truck and know the Lit-Ion batteries will not be depleated when it sits unused for a few months.

Includes 5" Tuckpoint Grinder - 1775E, Tuckpointing Guard - TG500, Inner Flange - 2 610 992 248, Outer Flange - 2 610 910 341, Auxiliary Handle - 1 602 025 027, Allen Wrench - 1 907 950 006, Vacuum Adapter - VAC002, Spanner Wrench - 1 607 950 052, includes tuckpointing wheel.
The diamond blade for this grinder is very expensive, so before I ordered, I called to make sure that a blade was included, and was assured that it was. NOT SO: it said right on the package, "Blade not included," so I returned the grinder without even opening the package. From several sources, though, I did learn that the Bosch 1775E is a fine instrument... I just wasn't willing to spend even more on a tool that I would use infrequently.

Built to the scale and level of quality professional woodworkers demand, this heavy-duty sander features a 6" x 48" sanding belt that operates horizontally, vertically or at any angle in between. Both table supports tilt for any job.
I purchased this belt/disc sander directly from Grizzly about six years ago for our school woodshop class. This sander has been thoroughly tested by approximately 120 kids each week and it's the only sander that has passed the test of time in a very busy woodshop program. I would highly recommend this unit if you're looking for something to last for the long haul.

The 6190-20 utilizes dry (a.k.a. "cold") cut technology which will cut on average three times faster than an abrasive machine and costs 1-1/2 times less to operate. The saw produces little to no sparks when cutting and leaves a virtually burr-free finish. The motor is a 15 amp, 4.8 max H.P. The base is a heavy-duty cast aluminum reinforced with a 1/4 in. steel plate. The vise and back fence is tool free. The horizontal D-handle provides optimum comfort whether the tool is on the ground or sitting on a bench.
Like others commenting here, the blade life for me was very disappointing, I might have made 50 cuts on a variety of low carbon steel (angle, tubing, thin wall pipe, round bar stock and flat). The saw has plenty of power, cuts square and virtually burr free. But be prepared to shell out another $100 for a better blade. Don't bother wasting your time sharpening the Milwaukee Blade, I did with the same disappointing results. The saw gets a 5 Star Rating the Blade a 1.

The DELTA 31-260X 18- by 36-inch drum sander features enough power to handle heavy material removal, but also has the ability to handle intricate finishing jobs with incredible precision. The 1-1/2-horsepower induction motor features a six-groove belt design for maximum power transfer. The 18-inch, variable speed drum operates at 2,210 or 3,300 SFPM for fast or ultra-fast material removal. The large, sturdy steel base is designed to virtually eliminate vibration for more accurate sanding, and the cast-iron table construction provides a stable base that is precision-machined for greater durability and longer life. The 31-260X keeps the workspace clean and free of dust and debris with its blow-molded dust hood which is designed to extract dust without letting any escape into the work area.
This is a fine example of a low cost tool that produces professional results even for the novice user. I have several complaints. The height of the drum w.r.t the floor is fixed and there are no external infeed and outfeed supports. I recently used the sander to finish a 120" x 26" x 1.5" maple table top. This required infeed and outfeed support that had to be adjusted after each pass through the sander. I have used both 100 and 220 grit paper and noticed significant tendency to burn when using the finer paper. There is also a tendency to snipe at the beginning and end of a workpiece. The mobile base recommended by Delta does not fit, it is too large.

I have had about 10 cordless drills in the past 15 years and recently upgraded to this Hitachi 9 pc kit.Most recently I had a Dewalt 18v 4pc that was about 5 years old. even though my Dewalt tools were in OK shape the 4 batteries were pretty much dead and had been "revived" a few times. I looked at replacing the batteries but between spending $250 for a new charger and pair of batteries or just replacing the whole kit it made sense to get new tools (my drill needed repair as well).My initial impression is mixed I chose the Hitachi set over the Dewalt mainly due to cost and the Lithium Ion batteries, not to mention that they have a 10 year warranty on their tools.The batteries on the Hitachi kit were definitely lighter than dewalt's. seemed like they were almost 1/3rd the weight but their plastic shell does seem to be cheaper quality then dewalt's and the clip mechanism also seems not as sturdy (hopefully though they will last longer).I was very disappointed with the Hitachi lantern. The description states it has both LED's and a fluorescent lamp what it doesn't state is that there is ONLY 1 LED. Now com-on what can you do with 1 LED? the fluorescent bulb isn't that great compared to Dewalts gooseneck lamp this thing is nothing more than a childs toy.Looking at the Drill itself, it's a nice solidly made tool. The design is a bit funky as it has a mix of plastic and rubber pieces its very comparable to the Dewalt 18v unit. Hitachi does fall WAY short on the silly belt…

I originally wanted a Makita set but the price on the Dewalt was too good. Having used Makita for years I'm super impressed with the Dewalt gear, the light built into the drivers is brilliant, power is great, function is top notch. The angle grinder is surprisingly powerful as is the circular saw, and the light which folds out on it's gooseneck is perfect for late night BBQ's!

I was looking to upgrade my shop tools and wanted to consolidate to one brand so battery/charger was only one vice three. This package is just the trick, with all the tools I use, now cordless and heavyduty, and tool bag to carry them all in keeps them together. Ordered via ammazon account best price offered and it arrived two days early, making it under the christmas tree just in time. Was not impressed with packaging when it was delivered, but everything seems to be in original condition.
