Porter-Cable FCN200 Pnuematic Flooring Cleat Nailer

Monday, January 28th 2008

If installing hardwood floors is in your immediate future, the Porter-Cable FCN200 two-inch flooring cleat nailer is a smart tool to consider. The nailer is designed specifically for installing tongue-and-groove hardwood flooring with L-shaped flooring cleats and a thickness of 1/2 to 25/32 inch.

DeWALT DC330K Heavy-Duty XRP 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Top Handle Jig Saw Kit

Monday, July 16th 2007

Gentle curves, sharp turns, circles, ovals or straight cuts, it’s all a cinch with this DeWalt. It’s got so much power, it can easily take on jobs you’d normally hand to your circular saw, but it’s got the finesse you need for cutting curves. Our pet peeve with jigsaws has always been the complicated, tooled method of changing a blade, but bravo to DeWalt for engineering this tool-free, practically effortless blade changeout system. The flip... 

Bosch 1591EVSK 6.4 Amp Barrel Grip Jig Saw

Thursday, February 8th 2007

When we first heard of barrel grip jig saws, we were pretty skeptical about the comfort and control they could offer, since we were so accustomed to the typical top-handle design. It really was a genuine surprise to feel the difference. The control is amazing, and cutting scrollwork is an absolute delight with this saw, something we can’t honestly say about most top-handle models. With this design, it almost feels as if the cutter is an extension... 

IRWIN 318015 15 Piece Gold Oxide TURBOMAX Turbo Point Bit Set

Sunday, January 14th 2007

TURBOMAX Turbo Point – 15 Pc. Set. Brazilian bits in plastic Chinese case but the bits are good quality (straight, symmetrical, and accurate to 0.5 mil) and the case is stout. The bit count is slightly deceptive, because the 1/16 and 3/32 and 1/8 sizes are duplicated and the 9/32 and 11/32 sizes are omitted. Worth ten clams (but not forty) for handy lightweight 1/16 – 3/8 kits.

Porta-Nail 421P Pneumatic Floor Nailer with Both Line Nailer Shoe and Face Nailer Shoe

Thursday, January 4th 2007

If you invented the perfect hardwood flooring nailer, you’d make one tool for both face and tongue nailing, pneumatic power, superior fasteners, a generous magazine and flexibility for different flooring thicknesses. Porta-Nails beat you to it. With a simple hardware change (two nuts and a screw), the 421P becomes a face nailer or angle nailer, saving you time and exertion on those first and last few rows of face-nailed flooring and speeding...
