FrosBros82 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yesterday evening I bought a 75 piece metric and SAE tap and die set made by Gearwrench. From others on the forum, they seem to think for the $ it is a good set, we shall see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HF is having one of their 20% coupon deals, and the set was under $20 with tax, so let's see how they are. The chroming is good, but they're awfully thin, and the 12mm is larger than the 13mm. Whaddya expect, I guess. We'll see how they do. Well, I had my first chance to use these today. Did a brake job on my wife's car; the front brake caliper brackets have a stupid clearance problem on one of the bolts. You can crack it loose with a socket, but you can't back it all the way out with one. Box end ratchet to the rescue. Darn if these wrenches aren't unexpectedly nice. I don't WANT them to be good. I want cheap Chinese tools from Harbor Freight to suck. But they don't. The ratchet action is smooth and tight, and they're well balanced. I was glad to have them when I needed them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute worst tools are the ones you don't have when you need em regardless of the COA or the notion of quality. In this case it sounds like a great tool for the job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Ridgid corded router and like it for laminate work. I really like the adjustment knob on it. But if i was using it for round overs or flush trimming thicker material than laminate the corded Makita definitely has more power. I was recently using the Ridgid with a trim bit cutting 1/4in luan, I was definitely pushing and I was stopping the bit. Same pressure with the Makita and it kept on cutting. It made me think about returning the Ridgid, but I already threw out the box and nylon carry bag. I wonder if HD would still take it back. I have used the cordless Ridgid router and with a 4 or 5 amp battery on top it felt almost as heavy as a PC 690. To me it kind of defeated the purpose. Personally I would stick with corded routers for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a review on it on youtube. I live in NZ so the price won't relate as we get ripped off down here on the cost of power tools. I got it for NZ$279 (approx US$200). I'm off to use it again now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the worm drive skil does look sweet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I like the rack and pinion fence. It isn't without flaws but it seems better than a traditional lever action fence. I like the extendable outfeed on the Hitachi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
