1 comments about SOG Specialty Knives TFSA-97 Flash I with Combination Serrated and Fine Blade, Black TiNi.
- The 4 stars is because the knife is so small - smaller than I thought it would be. It flips open nicely and looks cool etc. but it's just really SMALL. That said, the small size allows it to be clipped to the inside of my trousers completely unnoticeably and it has been very useful. I think that I may order the Flash II - the same thing but larger, 5 stars will be likely.
The locking mechanism is great. I love this knife despite the size.

4 comments about Johnson 2300 4-Inch Trim Gauge.
- This item is great. I use it for checking the height of my table saw for dados, router bit heights, stop blocks, etc. If you are a trim carpenter or woodworker it should be in your toolbox. Perfect stocking stuffer or birthday gift.
- this is great to have something in your pocket to gauge your depth on something to transfer it to a saw for accurate cutting. Easy to use and tighten down accurately.
- This gadget is of limited use. A good old tri square is quicker and fills the hand better. The one advantage of this one is the size that allows one to put it in one's pocket.
- Sorry for the title, but remember it does extend out to 7 inches...hah!
Sure there are other ways of doing this same job, and I've always done it by using my more expensive calipers, but that's more tool than you need. You can also just saw a notch in a board the right size if you're doing repeat measurements.
But this little plastic tool is handy, takes up no space and is quick to set to any dimension. Example, I rip boards to support steps and deck planking and have to set these back the thickness of the 5/4 board that will sit on it. Ripping long boards often results in a curved piece that you have to screw in place and measure at each screw for accuracy. This little 4" Johnson makes that easy, and you just slip it into your shirt pocket when you're done with it.
Good tool, great price!

- A nice set of box and open end wrenches - excellent price good quality.
Allows for a proper size wrench to use on any project encountered around the home.
- This is an amazing deal although finishing is not great. I can recommended it for anyone who needs a set of wrenches that they do not use daily.
I have a sailboat that was manufactured in the US with an European engine. So I need both Metric and SAE wrench sets on my boat. This is the best deal out there for this many wrenches.
The set even comes with a roll-up bag.
Good deal if you don't mind the finishing on the wrenches, it is rough. :-)
- Great product. My husband loved the wrenches. The handy pocket storage makes it easy for him to hang it in his shop so the wrenches will be within easy reach and easy for him to put back into when he is done with the job he is working on. Thank you.

2 comments about Leatherman 830678 Charge ALX with Leather Sheath and Gift Tin.
- I've heard about Leatherman from a friend some months ago when I was searching for a multitool. Well, this is great! The blades are very sharpen and the mechanism to lock is very good. I like a lot the Wood/metal//Diamond-coated files. They are very good! Also the Leather Sheath is very robust.
This is the multitool you can buy for sure, well designed, fits fine in your hand. I recommend!
- A beautifully crafted tool with great functionality and durability. However, there were only two issues I wanted to address for potential buyers:
1. From a functional point of view, the Wave is absolutely comparable (check the Leatherman website where you can do side-by-side comparisons of different tools), and significantly cheaper. You may want to look into this.
2. Although aesthetically pleasing, the black handles actually feel rough, almost giving the sensation of running your fingernails down a chalkboard. I tried it for a week, hoping that I would get used to it - but I didn't, so I returned it and bought the Wave.
Personally, I am more comfortable with the usual smooth, metal finish typical of Leatherman tools. I don't think this affects the functionality of the tool in any way, but I was just not pleased with how it felt in the hand.
Not everyone may feel the same way, so if you are considering this purchase, I would try the aluminum handles yourself in person to see if it is a texture you can tolerate. If not, the Wave may be a better option, especially given the comparable functionality, same exceptional construction expected of a Leatherman tool, and significantly cheaper price.

- These are built well. Very sturdy. The coating on them doesn't seem like its going to come off anytime soon. I'm happy.
- If you can buy them for less than $20, BUY THEM. These are the most useful channel locks I've ever owned. Light, strong, and the angle head fits in places the other pliers I own won't go.
- I have an old wooden toilet seat that will not come off an even older blue toilet that I cannot replace. The situation is so frustrating that if I could afford a new toilet and matching tub, I really would smash the toilet just to get this seat off.
- Finally and American made product. And really good ones too! Got mine from Amazon with free shipping....you've got to like that. The pliers work very well and with the offset head can get into unusual and smaller spaces than you might think. I am very happy with these functional, durable tools.
- Great but how could they not be? Able to handle many jobs because they are adjustable.

- AS A WOODTURNER JUST STARTING I FOUND THIS TOOLS TO BE VERY EASY TO USE AND IT HELP ME TO GAIN CONFIDENCE.
- I found this item cheaper on Amazon than buying directly from the manufacturer, PSI. It was brand new, had free shipping, and arrived sooner than I expected. I'll be checking back frequently for additional items I need as well.
- I like these tools. Once I sharpened them I've found they are great for finer scraping and getting a good finish before sanding. I'm not an expert so take it for what it's worth. Good feel and control. I think the Benjamin's Best tools are a great value for the money.
- THE VERSA CHISELS ARE ALL THEY CLAIM TO BE.EASY TO WORK WIH SMOOTH CUT,FOR THE PRICE THE BEST DEAL AROUND!.
- This item was delivered in a timely manner, and works as I thought it should.
