GROUT GETTER: GRS210-P Carbide Grout Removal Kit (3 in 1) Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The job I did was for a ceramic tile shower with 1/8" grout lines. I wanted to completely re-grout the stall. This tool was only useful after I used a dremel tool (1/16" bit, which also burns up too quick) to route out the lines. The diamond shaped bit easily "pushes" the remaining edge grout right off. Don't think you can use it to remove to a decent depth without small chipping of the tile edges. Also Horizontal lines are harder to do with the knife edged blade. You have to pull it across the line. What happened to me was I hit a pocket in the grout line which caught the blade and chipped a big piece off. Now that tile needs to be replaced. Luckily I have an extra from the previous homeowner. I would imagine the "lathe" style triangle bit would perform the same in a 1/4" line. In a perfect world, it might work fine. But then again... Definitely not a tool for pro's. Here's my advice: Hire a pro with a Fein tool, rent one, or re-tile. Re-grouting is a dusty,sucky and time consuming job.

Last week the unit while at moderate speed began to smoke and emitted a burnt smell.Sears has referred me to Tademark for resolution. This is not manufactured by Trademark Tools,Canada.It is made in China and distributed by Trademark Games, Inc.

Hitachi 728028 3/8-Inch Diamond Core Bit Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have 1" square porcelain (ceramic) tile, about 1/4" thick, on my bathroom wall that I was having problems drilling.I'm guessing it has a Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI) rating of class V (class 5) and would rate at least a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, since I couldn't scratch it with a normal high speed steel drill bit.I tried masonry bits, a Sears Craftsman Glass and Tile Bit (with a carbide tip shaped like an arrowhead), and the similar Black & Decker Glass & Tile Drill Bit, 5/16", but after a half hour was able to penetrate a single tile to a depth of only about 1/8".

So I bought this ingenious bit, which is 2-3/16" in length.The 1" chuck end is smooth and round (which can slip if not seated tightly enough).It's 3/8" in diameter, so check that your drill can accept this size.The 1-3/16" length working end consists of a hollow cylindrical barrel tube. The far end of the barrel has diamond powder sintered onto its edge; the next 3/8" of the barrel has reverse flute threads on the outside; and the near end of the barrel has a 5/8" long slot on the side for "core removal ejection."

The back and the front of the package have two important notes.First, the package states "only for use in cordless drills."Although I used a cordless drill, you could probably use a grounded or double insulated corded drill that can rotate at low speeds. Second, "for best results the drill bit requires water lubrication."Hitachi offers a Drill Guide and Water Cooling System that I didn't buy; I simply dipped the tip in a cup of water every 10-15 seconds.Per the manufacturer's Web site, water on the outside allows "the reverse flute threads... [to] continuously supply water to the cutting edge, cooling the bit tip, and extending its life."

You start by placing the drill head at an angle to the wall to create a crescent-shaped sort of "pilot hole" in the tile, then you gradually tilt the drill bit perpendicular to the wall to finish the job.WOW!After I got the hang of it, it took me only four minutes to drill through each tile.I'm not sure how many times the bit can be used, but I notice only very light wear on the diamonds after drilling six holes.This bit is worth every penny!

BTW, unlike the reviewer who complained that the Hitachi 729404 5/8-Inch Diamond Core Bit was actually 15mm instead of 5/8" (i.e., was almost a full millimeter less than 5/8"), this 8mm bit is only 0.063mm larger than 5/16".

Universal Chuck Key Holder Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)---> Click on the comments and you find a link to my web page where I show digital pictures showing a real world example of mounting it to a drill - I used nylon zip ties to strengthen it. <---

TIP: buy two, if one splits then ready my review!Also, look at the pictures on my website that show how it is installed.Older packages showed a picture back.

TIP2: Pictures on my website show you how it looks and works AND a scan of the old packagethat featured a how-to picture!

Background: I bought this chuck key holder because I bought a special "close quarters" 90 degree drill for working in tight spaces like under a shelf on harbor frieght.I was worried about loosing or misplacing the key which would make the drill useless.The key was also a non-standard size making it hard to replace.

Keyless chucks are great but traditional keyed chucks don't let the drill bit slip in the chuck but the key can get lost.Thus the universal key holder.

PROS: Works with most drills/keys -up to about 3/8" chuck, not 1/2" unless the key shaft is thin enough.

CONS: It is very easy to split the rubber making it useless and will likely need modifications to improve it.

In my comment on the first review you can see the picture scanned from the original package and I wrote a step by step how to install.Extra tools / parts:

1. Dremel Rotary tool or a drill, common black rubber fuel hose, hose clamps, extra thin/small nylon wire zip ties, electrical tape. Overview

Some drills use non-standard chuck-keys. There are two common styles of drill keys: L and Tee shaped. I have a T shaped key. If your chuck key handle is more than 3/16" thick the two small holes in the rubber chuck key holder must be enlarged with a Dremel (rotary tool) or a drill bit to prevent spliting. Directions1. Take Drill power cord and wrap the holder around the cord by Inserting the end with a slit and two holes through the large hole (see pic's 001 & 002).

2. Insert one end of the Tee into a hole and slide towards the center and then insert the other end into the remaining hole. For L style keys insert the handle through both holes.

3. Option1: slide the key so it's about a 16 inches from the drill handle and tighten the loop around the cord without over tightening. To prevent the key from sliding down the cord, wrap the cord with: electrical tape or a piece of black rubber fuel line hose and a very small hose clamp (don't over tighten & cover sharp edges with electrical tape)or a nylon zip tie.

4. Option2: reinforce the rubber key holder with nylon zip ties. For the L style key use a piece of fuel hose attached with a nylon zip tie. For extra strength, I drilled two holes and added a zip ties (see pictures 001 & 004). TIPS

16" Professional Variable Speed Scroll Saw Review

(More customer reviews)I'm looking to buy another Scroll Saw right now, this product gives me no information. Does it require a plain end blade or does it reqire a pin type blade? Is it built with cast iron so it will be heavy and not jump all over the place? What is the size of the motor? Does it come with a warranty? All these questions should be spelled out in the description, but they're not!

SE Mini Drill Press Bench Jeweler Hobby 8500 RPM 3-speeds Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a miniature drill press to drill the barrels on a 1/350 scale ship model.The Proxxon looks great but at $200+, it was out of the budget.

Then I searched Amazon and what did I find- a perfectly workable drill press for less than $100.

In short, it works as advertised.The slots in the base for a vise are kind of rough, no dovetail for a machinist wise.But the speed control works well, the plunging mechanism is smooth and wobble free.I'm glad I got it.

Dremel 2214D D-Vise Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The D-Vise has become one of the more useful pieces of equipment in myDremel arsenal. Sometimes you need both hands to work the tool, and youneed something to secure your crafting piece. Although I feel that justabout any good vise would do an adequate job holding my work pieces, theD-Vise does have a few advantages to it that most bench vises lack: it'srelatively small, and it can swivel to just about any desirable angle andelevation.
One drawback is that, despite it's relatively small size, theD-Vise wasn't made to be portable. When I'm doing Dremel tool craft work atvarious locations, that can be a hindrance. I'vegotten around this bysecurely mounting it to a wide, sturdy two-by-four, and when I need it, Isecurely vise-grip it to a temporary workbench.

Plasplugs PDWTK025 1/4-Inch Diamond Porcelain Tile Drill Bit Kit Review

(More customer reviews)Good for a few holes if you are very careful and slow. The thin wall of the bit means it's easy to bend the shaft and the tip wears quickly.
The Hitachi bits are much better and not much more if you search for a good price. Instead of the plastic drill guide with the Plasplugs kit, you can easily make one with a small piece of plywood. A spray water bottle keeps the bit cool.

Porter-Cable 9444VS 1.8 Amp Variable Speed Profile Sander Kit Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like many others I purchased the Porter Cable profile sander on the reputation of the company. I owned it about two hours before I returned it.
The tool is powerful enough though rather bulky. The problems with the sander stem from the poorly designed profile material and the pressure sensitive adhesive used to hold the paper to the profile.
The profiles are made of the same rubber your mother hated for putting black marks all over her kitchen floor.
At least she could remove the marks. Ever try to get a rubber mark off bare wood in a tight place?
With profile sanding it is a given that the sandpaper is going to be fit to a small contour or a point and therefore will wear out or clog very quickly.
With this sander quickly literally means seconds!
It is an enormous waste of time and sandpaper to change paper after every 30 seconds of use.
Machines should be time savers,not trouble makers.
Dremel makes a profile sander that is much easier to use. The profiles do not make black marks as the paper does not wear out so quickly.The paper is industrial quality cloth backed which helps greatly.
The paper is in the form of a hollow sleeve attached only by the form of the profile.
You simply pop the profile off the machine ,roll the sleeve a little and pop it back on. Ah fresh paper cuts so well!
Like the other reviewers I own other Porter-Cable machines which I like very much. PC circular saw,the router/plunge router combo,4" x 24" belt sander and a biscuit joiner.
Please save yourself the trouble and frustration of the Porter Cable profile sander.
If someone gives you one as a gift,smile,thank them, and as soon as you can sell it!
