Do you want to buy Spyderco Military Model G-10 Black Blade Plain Edge Knife, Black

Spyderco C36GPBK

This is a large knife! A big, thin 4 inch blade in a lightweight handle. The handle is very large. It takes up alot of space in the pocket, but it is thin and light in the pocket, so it carries a bit smaller than it actually is. The blade is full flat ground, meaning its narrow and flat on both sides, kinda like a cook's knife. I know its called "Military", and some military folks likely use it to good effect, but the blade really does remind me of a big folding kitchen knife a bit with its thin flat ground blade and large lightweight handle. It does not have full metal liners, it ... Its stainless steel liners are nested into durable G-10 handle scales and securely joined by spacers that provide superior strength while allowing easy cleaning and user maintenance A contoured black steel clip Spyderco C36GPBK configured for right-hand, tip-down carry ensures immediate access when needed.. The Military's ergonomic handle design allows positive control of the knife during use and includes a lined Spyderco C36GPBK lanyard hole Textured black G-10 handle scales Spyderco C36GPBK provide a comfortable and secure grip Black steel pocket clip configured Spyderco C36GPBK for right-side, tip-down carry ... »» Read more...

Oh wow Bare-Tool Makita BTW450Z High Torque Impact Wrench (Tool Only, No Battery)

Makita BTW450Z

As a professional automotive technician I depend on my tools for my livelyhood, and this Makita impact wrench excedes my expectations. I finally wore out my 9.6 volt Makita gun after 17 years, and wouldn't even consider another brand as it had been so good.

Where to buy Two Cherries 515-3310 Chip Carving Knives - 10 Piece Set

Two Cherries 515-3310

For the amount of money these things sell for, I was expecting them to cut through wood like--pardon the cliche--butter; but no. I found I had to run them across a ceramic when they arrived. The fact is that the cheap X-Acto wood-cutting set I bought before these still gets used more often... probably because I'm not afraid of beating those blades up *because* they were cheap.The Two Cherries knives seem well-made, however, and admittedly what I wanted to use them for (simple whittling) isn't exactly what they're for (chip cutting). The wooden handles are comfortable, but none of the whittlers are full-tang. Yet one issue I found upon receiving them was that the box had a warning label for ...

I have this Milwaukee 49-22-4155 Master Plumbers Ice Hardened Hole Saw Kit, 18-Piece

Milwaukee 49-22-4155

Not much of a review, but since there isn't any as of now thought I would put up a short one. The other kits that Milwaukee offers similer to this have good reviews so I bought based on those. I went with this size based on price and size of kit. There is plenty of room to add lots more hole saws in the future if needed.

How do I get Festool RO 125 FEQ Rotex Sander

Festool RO 125 FEQ

The thing that's most cool about these Festool sanders is thatyou can literally work without a dust mask with no problems. Ihave sanded for hours using the Rotex without a dust mask. Mysinuses get irritated by wood dust fairly easily, but wearinga respirator is irritating too. Even though all the woodworking authorities are going to tell you to always wear a dust mask, a lightweight mask doesn't work too well and a real respirator makes you feel like Darth Vader.So, as a practical matter I don't wear a mask when working withwood as often as I should... which is why it's a good thing Ihave the Rotex sander. Mine is an earlier version than thecurrent model, ... Two orbit modes allow for rapid stock removal using aggressive abrasives, or Festool RO 125 FEQ superfine swirl-free finish sanding and polishing 4.2 Amps, 300-600 RPM Festool RO 125 FEQ rotary motion speed, 3000-6000 OPM eccentric motion speed. Festools 5" dual mode Festool RO 125 FEQ sander has all the performance features of the legendary Rotex 6" sander, but in a slightly smaller, more compact package!

Where can I buy Stiletto TBM14SC TiBone Mini-14 ounce Ti Smooth Face Hammer with a Curved 16" Titanium Handle

Purchased this hammer more as a want than a need. Just looking at the thing makes me want to grab a box of nails and start hammering. I already own the Vaughn Titech, so I purchased this shorter, lighter hammer for exterior siding, trim, and other sub-16d nail work. My coworker has the TB15, and it does sink nails easier, but it's longer and heavier, which makes it a little more unwieldy for certain jobs. I would give this hammer 5 stars if the molded rubber handle were somehow replaceable.
