1. This Leatherman has not left my belt since I got it. The outside-opening blades are a wonderful change from the traditional inside-opening ones. The blades are sharp, and the tools are strong. I work as an IT admin, and the pliers and screwdrivers are priceless. I have owned a Gerber and a few knock-off brands, and they bent and broke. The Wave holds up. Highly recommended.

1. This is a great pruning saw, very sharp, cuts fast, nice locking feature and a good grip.
   
   Cleans up fast and after about a month of use it seems as sharp as brand new.
   
   I've used some pretty expensive Japanese units before and this stacks up well performance-wise and is substantially cheaper.



2. I PURCHASED THIS SAW FOR THOSE QUICK PRUNING JOBS. I CARRY IT ON MY TRACTOR, AND IT IS ALWAYS HANDY. I HAVE USED IT TO FALL A SMALL PINE TREE (3" caliper) AND IT DID IT VERY QUICKLY. VERY PLEASED !

1 comments about 18" True Angle Tool.

1. The tool is precise, easy to use, fairly durable (it will scratch). The dial gauge is very tiny and you can only read to about 1 degeree of accuracy at best, if you have good eyes and light. You must be careful of parallax also. For mitered inside corners parallax is a major issue and really hurts the ultimate accuracy of the tool. Even with these issues, this tool is less valuable than it may seem.
   
   The main purpose fo the 18" and 23" true angle tool is for installing crown, chair rail and base mouldings. It is used to determine the true wall angle so your mitered joints match the wall angle. Some may even try to tell you that the difficult part of moulding installation (tight joints) will be easy now.
   
   I can tell you the worst wall I measured was 91 degrees. Ok, 1 degreee will produce a gap. So it makes sense that a more precise measurement will correct this. right? wrong. The biggest "out of square" is not wall to wall. It is #1 the straightness of the ceiling that will impact these joints the most. Notice I said "most". Because the wall to wall, the ceiling to wall, straigntness of the wall and straightness of the ceiling ALL throw off prefectly mitered joints.
   
   There are many tricks that are somewhat effective to making tight mitered joints but even if you have some good ones, you will have some bad ones.
   
   The real answer is to forget this tool and cope. I resisted coping because it is not fun and is time consuming. AND you will STILL neeed to caulk ceiling and wall joints. Even perfect mitered or coped joints do not eliminate caulk. Your walls and ceiling will not be prefectly flat even if they are exactly 90 degrees.
   
   So make coping easier by using a Easy Coper jig and a jig saw with a fine blade. You will get fast work, decent joints (Always because coped joints are more forgiving). It is structurally much better so even if the house settles or wood changes size, the worst you will get is a crack in the paint. Easily fixable.
   
   HOWEVER, for outside corners it does help some. Again, all of the outside corners in my house were within 1 degree of square. And the biggest difficulty is the ceiling and wall straightness, NOT angle. So to get tight outside joints was still using glue, forcing boards to fit and then nailing them in place.
   
   I consider the 18"/23" useless for moulding unless your walls are greatly out of square.
   
   I do think the 7" version could be a handy tool, just not for moulding installs.

2 comments about Kukri Machete w/Lthr/Cordura Shth.

1. For the guy who wants a collectors item or a hacking utility knife its an excellent pick. Its an excellent gift military friends.



2. This knife has proven to be quite handy. I have used it mostly for chopping branches and cutting down small trees. The knife is built solid and the blade is weighted enough to carry through branches and saplings in one strike.
   This is a good knife in comparison to machetes and corn knives I have owned and used, but I think because of its size and design it will be much more versatile and useful.

4 comments about Shark CORP 21-2028 Hardened Steel Alloy Nail Pullers.

1. I was replacing wood trim on my house and had to pull a lot of buried nails while standing on a ladder. I tried using other tools like claw hammer, screw driver, pry bar but was having a lot of difficulty removing the nails and in some cases couldn't get some of the nails removed. I borrowed the Shark nail puller from my next door neighbor and from then on ALL NAILS WERE REMOVED WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. My neighbor told me he got the nail puller from Tool Crib and he let me use his catalog to order my own nail puller. I ordered two to give one to my son.



2. This tool is really helpful when framing, it will pull nails even whenthey have been driven below the surface of the wood, and even if you bust off the head it can still be pulled. This is the perfect size also. I've seen and used shorter ones, but they don't provide enough leverage.



3. I never thought I'd get excited about a nail puller, but these shark pullers are really a joy to use. My first model was the 8"er with the flat pry bar at one end, and I've ordered several other sizes since. The key to these things seems to be the quality of steel used - very strong and very hard - seems to bite into the nail no matter how much is showing.
   
   I also own one of those old-fashioned looking nail pullers with the slide handle and moveable fulcrum. It certainly works, but is definitely much more trouble to get into position and get a grip on the nail that these Shark units. On these, just point the paws at the buried nail, give it a whack or two, and voila, it's got the grip it needs to start moving it.
   
   Very versatile, very well made, very worthwhile to have in your toolbox.



4. I worked with a contractor who used one of these and thought it would be a helpful tool for my own remodeling jobs. These nail pullers work as advertised. I don't think I will ever use a claw hammer again for nail pulling. Very high quality steel and designed very well. Get one, you won't regret it!

1. I bought this for an extra "around the house" tape measure. Turned out to be a real smooth working tool that ended up out in my husbands "shop" instead in the house. Great price, good quality!
