I upgraded my miter saw game and decided to do it with the DeWALT DCS781 Dual Bevel Sliding 12″ Miter Saw on the FlexVolt system. In my video I show you my unboxing and general thoughts on using it for a recent project. I have ONE gripe with the saw, but other than that it […]

This is probably the first blower review that doesn’t show any blowing! Ha! Well the specs are virtually the same on these two blowers, and I wanted to “feel” each of them out. I took a good look at the Makita and DeWalt blowers and after some thought, I decided to keep the Makita. I […]

After years of using the same corded DeWalt Random Orbit Sander, it’s time for a change. There are THREE major boxes I have to check when selecting a new one. 1) Fast braking. When I turn it off, I do not want to wait for the sanding head to stop rotating. 2) Weight. I want […]

Continue readingBosch Axial-Glide 12″ Miter Saw (Unboxing & Review)
I had always wanted a Bosch Axial-Glide 12″ Miter Saw and when I finally upgraded I was not disappointed. The main feature is the patented “Axial-Glide” system allows the saw to take up less of a footprint on your work bench or miter station. Unfortunately I had to sell it in order to downsize my shop […]
