Sandblaster Gun with 3 Extra Nozzles : Sand Blasting Tool Review


SandblasterGunwith3ExtraNozzles:SandBlastingTool
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an add-on "dead-man" shut-off valve and nozzle assembly for use with pressure-pot sandblasters like the cheaper ones from Harbor Freight.If you don't already have one of those, this won't be very useful except possibly as a novel paperweight or something to throw into the corner to relieve frustration.

I bought mine at a local tool store; it is the same Pit Bull branded package.

Contrary to what the package says, it comes with 4 extra ceramic nozzles, but no wrench.
The nozzles are 5 different sizes, ranging from about 0.087" diameter to about 0.123".(Take those measurements with a grain of salt... it's not easy to measure them, and the nozzles are tapered inside.They're definitely not all the same size.)

Installation: it screws directly onto the original shutoff valve body after removing the old tip assembly and wrapping some Teflon tape around the threads.

How well does it work?Um, I don't know yet.There's a problem with the motor on my two-cylinder compressor, and when I took the motor apart, more things broke and I discovered that replacement parts are hard to come by.I'll see if I can do some spot blasting with the little compressor, using the smallest diameter tip.

DEWALT Electrical Estimating Professional Reference (Dewalt Trade Reference Series) Review

Average Reviews:

No doubt, I recommend this book for all electricians as a well-written estimating manual. Loaded with estimating checklists, forms and practical tips through out, this book demonstrates clearly the author has thorough knowledge of our industry. The book covers the process step by step, from marketing, quantity take-off, supplier pricing, bid organization to project management and change order pricing...I especially like the part where he elaborates on how to actually close a deal (e.g. post-bid estimating, contract negotiations). Quite neat stuff...Suitable for everyone, whether you are a rookie or veteran, you will like it! (I already own a bunch of DeWalt books because I like the conveniently designed sizes. This book is one of the best I got so far, and it is a relatively new one, too)

ST250K Review


ST250K
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this Bernz-O-Matic soldering and torch kit, assuming that it would be a nice replacement for an aging butane soldering iron from another maker (my old iron simply needed a new tip, but at half the cost of a new iron, I figured I'd treat myself).

Unfortunately, I only got about 5 hours of intermittent use out of the small soldering tip included in this kit before it began to get seriously pitted.Soon after, the entire point of the tip fell off, and I'm now left with a broad, flat area unsuited to soldering small electronics.

The most outrageous part of this is that I called the manufacturer, and they CANNOT supply replacement tips for this iron.That AUTOMATICALLY makes it unsuited for anything other than very casual use.Even under the best circumstances, soldering tips eventually wear out.

I should mention a couple of facts here:1.) I was using ordinary Kester 60/40 rosin-core solder.No acid-core or anything odd.2.) I was using the iron on medium heat and idling it on low.I was not blasting the tip with heat.3.) I've been soldering electronics for over 15 years (including 0402 and 0604 SMTs), so I know what I'm doing.

The short summary:junk!

Seasons Comfort ECH400 Ceramic Safety Furnace Electric Heater 750/150W Review


SeasonsComfortECH400CeramicSafetyFurnaceElectricHeater750/150W
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this little heater. I bought one in late 2007 to help heat my "living room" which also contains my home office, where I spend most of my time in the cold Ohio winters.I liked the safety features of auto shut-off if it was tipped even slightly, the thermostat which automatically turns it off and on and the fact that it didn't have an open flame or use multitudes of hot electrical coils to produce the heat. I can't say enough good about this product. It has survived 2 winters of almost constant use in my multi-dog household (I do try to be careful to keep dog hair to a minimum with daily brushing away from the furnace though). It has not had an easy life in my 100+ yr old country farm cottage but it has enabled me to keep the main thermostat on my forced air propane ($$$) furnace turned far lower.Some common sense (don't leave it running when I'm not here -- I don't need it then anyway; don't run it while I am asleep -- that's what comforters are for)and its lightweight, portable design and soft blower round out this picture of this warm and cozy example of (to me) what a "space" heater should be. In fact, I went looking for another one and bought it at the beginning of this winter, although my original is still going strong.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hitachi NT65MA3 15 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer

- Third generation of this tool; everything works well.

- Fires in one of two ways; select via a control knob:

... Single Actuation: press the nose against the wood & pull the trigger to drive the nail, or, pull the trigger first, then press nose against the wood to drive the nail.Either way, nailing again isn't possible until the trigger is released and pulled again.

... Contact Actuation: in addition to the above, if the trigger is held back, the tool will fire a nail each time the nose is pressed against the wood.

- Nicely balanced and comfortable to use.Weighs only 4.2 lbs., within a few ounces of the lightest nailer.

- The 34 degree tool angle is better than 24 degree nailers; easier to do corners.

- Simple to load nails.Feed into the slot and slide the spring-loaded pusher to the right.Holds two 100-nail "clips", and they are fully visible, so you know when you're near empty.

- Adjustable air deflector so the discharge won't blow in your face.

- In case of a jam (e.g., you hit a screw); simply unsnap a lock and the front end opens.

- Easy turn dial moves the nose-piece in/out to adjust drive depth.

- Factory installed air fitting is a nice feature.

- No-mar nose piece is tough enough to last and actually prevents wood marring.

- Duster button: makes the tool an air gun; or use to drain the air before decoupling the hose.

- Good blow-molded tool case with space for a 1,000 nail pack.

- 5-year factor warranty demonstrates Hitachi's confidence.

- More powerful than my Bostitch 15-gauge angled nailer.

- Big nailers are loud.Wear hearing protectors.Can't see how you could go wrong with this angled nailer.Clearly a 5-star tool.

This relatively small, yet powerful airless sprayer made light work of our medium sized mold remediation projects. The unit is easy to carry and operate, and for those new to the equipment, the handy "how to" DVD coves all the necessary aspects of operation and maintenance. What was most impressive, was its ability to handle substances with a consistencey similar to latex paint (~1.36 kg/litre). The 0.015" tip worked well but multiple passes were required for an even coat. An excellent buy for those looking for a low priced, efficient airless sprayer!

Wagner Wide Shot Power Painter Backpack Paint Sprayer Review


WagnerWideShotPowerPainterBackpackPaintSprayer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I felt the need to post a review about the Wagner Power Painter, because I've read many poor reviews about it and had many of the same frustrations with the product, initially.The fact is that this product is not for every project, but it is a huge time saver for projects that have a large coverage area (houses, decks, fences, large rooms, ceilings).

First off, you cannot just pour paint into the thing and start painting.Take it apart, and make sure everything is properly lubricated with the provided oil.Next, if you're using latex-based paint, THIN the paint using FLOETROL (this is a MUST).Using Floetrol helps the issue that some people have with the unit seizing.Refer to the back of the Floetrol bottle for "airless sprayers" to know how much to put in the paint.I would not recommend thinning the paint with water, or the unit may gum up.Cover/tape adjacent surfaces well, as the excess spray can reach several feet away, and the wind doesn't help!

Get a large piece of cardboard or scrap wood and play with the pressure settings until you find a good coverage pattern.This took me less than 5 minutes.After that, you just need to be confident with using a paint sprayer, which will come with practice.

The unit will start to spit when the bottle is getting low.I habitually refill after one pass of a 10' X 10' area, just to avoid this.Keep a brush or small roller handy to clean up spots where this might occur.Clean up time should be less than 20 minutes.I clean brushes and rollers longer than that, usually.

I was ready to return this product after using it once.It spat and dripped and seized up.After doing some reading, I realized I just wasn't using it properly.If you follow the steps above, you should have very good results.This is a really great product, once you get used to it.

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this unit and received it from Kaito with a broken casing. After many, many phone calls and nonsense they agreed to send me out a new unit. I had to send the old unit back and did so with expedited shipping so I could get it back asap. It wasn't until nearly a month afterward that I received the replacement. Upon using the station I realized the temp readout was not the temp of he iron, far from it. The recovery time was awful, and the tip was very shoddy. After using the unit for approximately an hour it died and I don't have the time to deal with Kaito Electronics once again. Please save up a few extra dollars and get a Weller or Hakko. I threw away a month of my time, and some of my hard earned money and still need a soldering station.

Fuji 3003 Q3 PRO Quiet 3-Stage HVLP Spray System Review


Fuji3003Q3PROQuiet3-StageHVLPSpraySystem
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased a Fuji Q3 and it has certainly lived up to my expectations. As a professional painter I finish trim for new houses. I bought a Campbell-Hausfeld HVLP sprayer and it served me fine for small jobs. It was portable but incredibly loud and difficult to set a fine enough spray for varnish. Not so with the Fuji sprayer. I used it for 8 hours straight today and I couldn't be happier. It was easy to adjust the material and pattern and keep a fine enough particle spray to do an excellent job from door casing to full doors. The turbines are also so quiet that I could still hear the radio playing in the background with out having to turn it up. The gun is so light weight that even after a full day of spraying my hand and arm are not tired. I bought and fully recommend the 6 foot whip hose. When needing to manuver the gun into tight spaces or to follow the pattern on a six panel oak door it was nice that I didn't have to drag around the heavier hose. Over all this outfit is first rate and a joy to use. Fuji is to be commended for such a fine product.

Product Description:
The Fuji industrial spray equipment Q3 Pro HVLP turbine and spray gun system is ideal for cabinet makers and furniture refinishers, providing a professional finish when spraying lacquers, enamels, polyurethane, latex, water-based coatings, and more. As much as 50 percent quieter than most HVLP turbines, this spray system's 3-stage turbine features a patented soundproofing feature and keeps air flowing freely to the motor for optimal cooling; the turbine provides approximately 6 PSI. This system comes with the Fuji XT spray gun; the spray gun has a non-bleed design which lets air through only when the trigger is pulled, giving you reduced shop dust disturbance and less paint build-up on the tip of the fluid nozzle. The spray gun is built with a stay-cool nylon handle for more comfortable use, durable stainless steel fluid passages, and an external needle packing adjustment.
The system comes equipped with a general purpose #4 air cap to ensure fine finishing; a 25-foot highly flexible hose designed to maintain its pliability and avoid kinks; a 1-quart cup for the spray gun; a paint strainer; a viscosity cup; a cleaning brush; and a 20-page instruction manual.

Wagner Power Products 9140S 1/2 HP Twin Stroke Piston Pump Paint Sprayer Review


WagnerPowerProducts9140S1/2HPTwinStrokePistonPumpPaintSprayer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the first airless sprayer I've ever used, and I have been very impressed with it. I am using it to paint the exterior of my house and it is proving to be a huge time-saver.Tricky areas like the eaves under the roof would have taken forever with a brush. With this tool I'm done in minutes, and it looks great! Even though this is the entry level model in the Wagner line, it still can throw a lot of paint on in a hurry!I can only imagine what the big models will do. I am spraying a latex exterior house paint straight out of the can, no additives or dilution required.

The unit came with a 415 tip which was fine for large areas, but proved a little wide for the detail work.I bought a 313 to do the trim.Fortunately all of the brands (Wagner, SprayTech, Grayco, etc.) use the same tips which can be found at any big-box store (Home Depot, Lowes).You will also need to buy a swivel for the gun (about $20).The paint hose becomes very stiff under pressure, and without a swivel, the gun is very hard to maneuver.

Cleanup can be a chore. The capacity of the pickup tube and the hose is substantial and all of that paint has to be thoroughly flushed out.Then you have to clean the gun with a brush.None of this is really unexpected.It's a professional style tool for big jobs, and even with the cleanup, you're way ahead of the game.

As for the other reviewers who complained about a broken tip, I'm not sure how that could happen as it's made from steel.Maybe they were talking about the tip holder? Just buy a new one from HD for $15 and get on with it.

Kensington 33362 Ultraportable Power Inverter 150 Review


Kensington33362UltraportablePowerInverter150
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the perfect adapter for me as it powers both my notebook and all of my gadgets from a single brick. I use it for my notebook, DVD player, cell phone, mp3 player, guitar trainer and PDA.The Kensington is simple, compact and lightweight without a lot of fussy extra stuff to deal with. The iGo and Targus systems require a separate dongle for low-power devices like cell phones and CD-players.

"Brick" really isn't a good description though, because the Kensington transformer has a super slim profile and is lightweight.I bought the 120w version because some people reported trouble with the 70w on newer HP Compaq Business notebooks.I figured the 120w is good now and insurance against obsolesence in the future.

The power supply is just part of the picture though, as the real beauty of the system is the "smart tip" feature. I frequently fly on international and long haul domestic trips and like to take along my portable DVD player for entertainment.Instead of hauling heavy auxiliary batteries or having both a DC adapter for the plane/rental car AND the regular power bricks, cables and wall warts for AC, now all I need is a single power supply and the right tips.

It seemed like I was always forgetting to pack the one crucial component I needed, like the USB cable to charge my Tungsten T or the wall wart for my mp3 player.With this system, everything stays in one pouch in my carry-on briefcase and the OEM power supplies stay at home, no more sharing and forgetting....

On the downside, the AC power cord really needs to be longer.Now it hangs down off the wall with the weight of the brick straining the cord. This will eventually lead to failure and an electrical hazard unless replaced.Also on my wish list is a separate European two-prong power cord to eliminate the need to pack a plug adapter.

Technical support is a joke, as the call desk didn't even know that any of the DVD tips were available.Technical spec information is nigh on impossible to get.My DVD player wasn't listed on the website and I wanted to know which tip supplied 9v.

Good luck trying to find that out without a major research project. I wish Kensington would just publish a compatibility chart on the site and keep it current, instead of that goofy query-based tip selector.It is so out of date, that it doesn't list many of the DVD player models that have tips (e.g. Panasonic).

I wanted to find the right tip for my Philips PET1000 DVD player. I finally had to go to the manufacturer websites that Kensington makes tips for to dig out which one uses 9v (it was Panasonic). Bought the tip, works like a charm. This works for other devices that aren't listed too, like my Tascam gutiar trainer.If the tip fits your device without forcing or isn't loose, it is probably the right one.However, ALWAYS check the voltage and amperage first to avoid frying your stuff.

The bottom line is that this is head and shoulders above the other AC/DC systems out there. If Kensington can keep up the product support by making new tips for gadgets as they hit the marketplace, it could be around for a long time.

Grizzly H5840 Forstner Bit 16 pc. Set Carbide Hex Shank Review


GrizzlyH5840ForstnerBit16pc.SetCarbideHexShank
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I broke my own cardinal rule regarding buying tools from China.I don't normally.But I knew Grizzly had a good reputation and I only needed a set of Forstners for light duty so thought I would spring for this carbide tipped set.I was a bit disappointed, as I should have expected.The fit and finish was of typical medium-quality Chinese tools.The hex shanks are nice for gripping in the chuck.They were reasonably sharp, though more on that in a second.
The first bit I tried impressed me, running true and cutting into hard maple easily.There was no tear-out on the entry edge, and only a slight tear-out on the exit with a backer board.The problem came with the second bit I used (1-5/8).It wouldn't even go into the wood and stopped the drill press.Upon close examination I discovered the carbide cutting edge had been ground with a slight negative angle (opposite the positive cutting angle that there should be).This of course is unacceptable.I examined the cutting edges of the rest of the bits and though none was as bad as that particular one, many had inconsistently ground cutting edges, and most seemed to have one of the two edges ground at a lower cutting edge than the other.
I measured the finished holes from the bits in hard maple with a digital caliper.They were generally good with the following exceptions:

?: +.005"
1: -.005"
1 1/8:+.011"
1 ?:+.01"
1 3/8:+.005"
1 ?:+.008"
1 ?:-.008"

These are mostly reasonable for a low-cost set, though a few were out of what I would consider "limits".
I wrote Grizzly about the poorly ground bits and they offered to replace them if they were unused, and after I paid for shipping and a restocking fee.I had to write back and point out the ridiculousness of this and upon actually reading my email that time, they offered to replace the set and pay for shipping.I haven't gotten them back in the mail yet but they promised to "inspect" the set they ship to me.

So, overall, I was not greatly impressed.If you get a set that is ground better, it might be a good value.They need to improve their quality control, especially with the grind of the carbide cutting edge.

I've had great results with Tenryu's Gold Medal table saw blade, so I bought the Miter-Pro Plus about a year ago.It's a high quality miter saw blade capable of very smooth results, but I found that it didn't cut quite as smoothly as the Forrest Chopmaster, which is currently my favorite miter saw blade.Either of these two blades are in the top tier for miter saw use, but if trying to decide which high-end blade to buy, I'd go with Forrest.

For table saw use, I think the Tenryu Gold Medal is a bit better than the Forrest Woodworker II though.

It took longer to find the correct wrench than it did to put it together.The instructions in the manual are a little difficult to understand for someone new like me that hates painting, but after 2 or 3 times I finally got it.Priming the unit is easy just put the bucket under the intake tube turn the dial to prime and turn it on till you see paint running back into the bucket from the return tube.Then flip the dial to spray and you are ready to go.There is a pressure dial down on the side if you are spraying Latex run it up to maximum and you are ready to let fly.Make sure you have a big hat goggles and a mask because the worst part of this process especially in a small room is the "FOG"I used a garbage bag (extra large)cut a hole in the top and some arm holes; cheap easy and disposable and fired it up.It took me a little bit of time to get used to spraying and how it would work but once I did, it was the about as fast as I could move,I painted a 220 sq ft room with 2 closets all with 8 foot ceilings and also 2 ceilings in an ajoining bathroom in a matter of minutes.This thing can lay down some serious work very very quickly and the coverage was much better than a roller or brush just have someone watch you and if you do miss a little spot just have them point.You will need lots of light we painted at night and it was hard to see.I would guess you could paint a garage wall 20x8 in under a minute.It took longer to use 1 gallon cans (stirring and repriming) so I would recommend 5 gallon buckets if possible. Cleanup is pretty easy put the intake tube in a bucket of clean water and the return tube back in the paint can and set it to prime and turn it on just for a little while until the paint starts to turn clear maybe 10 seconds or so totalthen put the return tube back in the water bucket with clean water reprime it. Take the tip off of the gun and throw it in a bowl of water set it to spray put the gun at the edge of the paint can/bucket and turn it on to spray the paint back in the bucket until it starts to get clear then put the gun in a big sink and pump some water through the hose for a few minutes.Then pull the filter out of the gun and brush it,I used an old tooth brush clean it up. Then clean up the dust and any spills and reassemble and you are done. Oh yeah also pull the intake tube off and plug it with the attached plug after cleaning.Also put a few drops of the separating oil in the top oil hole not too much or it will leak all over the place.Overall if you have some painting to do this unit will do it; don't waste your money on the small little hand held units I did that a few years ago and it was a waste of...bucks.There are also accesories for this unit, for an 8 foot ceiling just stick your hand upand keep it moving if you have a tall ceiling look into the 6 foot extension.
