Customer Review:

coedless impact wrench

This is the exact tool I was looking for. I was using a air-powered impact wrench it was costing me time and money on the job. There never was enough pressure in the tank to drive a lag bolt. This tool is excellent. It has a quick charging time and has the power I need.

daily use

Tool works well on day to day use of lag screws 6-8"
in length. Whether installing or removeing. Only problem
is rocker switch fails to engage gun after about 2 months
of use requireing repair. But every brand that I have
used in the past that was electric with same switch type
also failed.I will purchase the Dewalt impact cordless
from now on because it is cordless and there is no differ-
ence in this one and the electric version.

Great Impact Wrench

This is an excellent tool. It's high quality and has a lot of power. It can take of lug nuts without any effort. It actually broke a bolt on me when I was tightening a nut.

I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have any power adjustment the way that an air powered impact wrench has. It's an all or nothing scenario.

I am also not found of the trigger because you squeeze the top of it to remove a bolt and the bottom of the trigger to tighten. It's too heavy of a tool to share both of these functions on the same trigger. Make it like a drill where there is a forward and reverse switch. It's also very loud with the hammer action. Other than these issues, it's a great impact wrench and I highly recommend it. Especially if you already use 18 volt Dewalt tools and could use a couple of extra batteries.

Black & Decker BV2500 Leaf Hog Vac'N'Mulch Blower/Vacuum

With the Black & Decker Leaf Hog, you can clean up both the deck and the lawn with one reasonably priced and easy-to-maintain machine. This blower/vac is electric, so it requires an extension cord and an electric outlet to run, but there's nothing else to set up or maintain. The 12 amp motor has considerable power for its size, more than enough to clear driveways or decks or blow off sections of lawn. At just over 7 pounds, the Leaf Hog is light enough to use for long periods of time, and it's also quiet enough to use at any time of day. Switching from blowing to vacuuming is a snap--literally. The correct button took us a moment to find, but once you've located it, you simply depress it and remove the blowing unit, then attach the vacuum extension in its place. The extension has a bag for mulch, which attaches with a small clasp. When vacuuming, the unit mulches by sucking leaves through the fan assembly. Though this model, with its patented Vortex anticlog vacuum system, does a better job of remaining unclogged than most, you still need to be careful to avoid rocks and sticks. It also has a variable-speed control that lets you choose between 150 and 200 mph blower speed.

Customer Review:

Forget This One

Well, the thing worked OK for one season, and then the motor started to wheeze and shreik, the smell of burning wire permeated the air, and the Leaf Hog went to Hog Heaven. Look elsewhere and save yourself some money!

Too Powerful?!

So far, the blower really performs!!! I have to be careful not to flow away all of the pebbles on the ground when I am using it. Probably the best electric blower around.... If you don't want to mess around with gas/oil, go with this.

Durability is not what this unit is famous for

To the extent that this piece of molded plastic can be a durable leaf vacuum/blower, it is not. The cheap brass bearing on the motor housing eventually works its way off and with the brushes kitty wumpus on the commutator the unit starts to vibrate and growl like crazy, the sparks fly, and the smell of hot metal permeates the air. After a dozen or so uses, the twist on bag looses its friction fit and falls off the unit. The really cheap zipper on the bag....and the light weight impeller...and so on. The best part of this unit is the 12 inch extension cord.
When it works it works really good but it doesn't work very long.

Customer Review:

Years

I have been using the Nelson traveling sprinklers for over 20 years and am completely satisfied. I have purchased repair parts for our old one and it is still working as if it was new. A competitor went out of business and left us with an unrepairable unit.

Excellent Purchase!

I am very happy I made this purchase--this was well worth the amount I spent. The fact that this travels all over the yard makes watering much easier! No more having to go outside and move the sprinkler every 15-20 minutes!

Great little sprinkler....

I have used my Nelson for 2 seasons now and it has been a great helper around the yard. I love being able to set it up and forget about it. It has been very dependable and keeps our yard looking great. I really did not want to trench up my lot to install a sprinkling system- and this tractor has made that possible. I would have given it 5 stars but the "off-ramp" is made of a plastic that became brittle and broke after only 1 year of service.

If you need an easy way to water a 1/3 to 1 acre lot, this is it! Enjoy.

Customer Review:

I really like this stapler!!!

I haven't used my new stapler very long, but it seems to work flawlessly. For the price, I don't think you could go wrong buying a Porter-Cable prod. At my job, I use a Bostich stapler a lot, it has the mag. body, but does not seem to perform any better.......Brownsboro, TX.

Great for Flooring

I own a flooring company and we use staplers for lauan every day i have had some Bostich ones but they jam and it takes 10 mins to clear b/c of screws holding on the nosepiece - i love the PC b/c of its price and ease of use. it has a great nosepiece for cleaning out pesky jams not that i have had to use it yet. have shot over 20,000 staples so far with it and has had no issues will continue to buy PC in the future.

Powerful, light, well built and a good price

Once again, a Porter-Cable air tool is well made, powerful and works well - all at a good price.

I've used mine for about a year with great success. It doesn't jam, as one reviewer mentioned, and is very reliable.

It's small enough to get into tight spaces, and has a rotating vent on the top so you can point the exiting air in a direction away from your face or the pile of sawdust.

I have used it for making boxes, attaching weather stripping, holding sound deadening board to a wall, and for many other projects.

It was inexpensive to buy, and the staples are easily available.

I keep buying PC air tools because they work well and are priced low.
