5 comments about Fein 63502151020 1-1/8-Inch Universal E-Cut Blade, 3 Pack.
- Never had a tool that could do as much as this can. These blades are amazing in cutting out windows to be replaced.
- Yes, the blades are expensive but with careful use, they provide reasonable longivity. Fein products are of absolute high quality. The Multi-Master and blades provide cutting solutions where other tool manufacturers provide none. I used this blade to trim the bottoms of doorstops when installing a new hardwood floor. The blade cuts cleanly and is easily controlled to avoid damaging the door frame when trimming the bottom of the door stops.
- This was the best price I could find for these blades but they are still way more than they are worth. Wish someone else would come out with a replacement to create some competition for these folks. I should probably buy stock in their company and get wealthy like them!
- As a residential contractor I use these blades quite often to get into tight areas that a sawzaw is too large or aggressive. The blades offer excellent control in every situation. They provide fine finish results when under cutting door jambs or sectioning wood window sills. The primary reason I scored these blades a 4 v. 5 is because of the price. At $70-$80 for a three pack, you want to steer clear of nails. Although they are rated to cut wood and metal, nails will dull the blades quickly.
- I bought the pneumatic multimaster from toolmart for a great price but after shopping for blades this was a fantastic deal and these blades are worth even the higher price. I'm working on enclosing my back porch and I have been cutting nails,plastic molding,wood with the first blade out of the pack and haven't even broke any teeth yet. The blades are pricy but they do hold up.

- These are perfect they stay on your head. No more catching them as they fall to the floor. You don't have to keep setting them down because they are a literal pain to have on. Witch also means no more scratched up lenses. All metal frame and CLEAR Lenses. Sure you might not look as cool because their not tinted but, you will have all your body parts attached because you will actually be able to see what you are doing with power tools while working in doors. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Besides how many dates are you going to get with those bloody nubs anyway. Aside from custom made glasses these are the best Ive seen.

5 comments about Black and Decker FSB18 FireStorm 18-Volt NiCad Slide Style Battery.
- As one reviewer indicated the interchangeability of the batteries makes the entire Black and Decker 18 volt line very addictive. I find myself looking for tools that work with the batteries.
As for the batteries themselves the big positive is the interchangeability. There are two significant negatives. The first negative is that the charger that comes with the batteries and the tools is a dumb charger that does not tell you if it is complete or not. This is annoying. The second issue is the batteries are slightly anemic. Not bad since they are interchangeable but still a little more power and longevity would be nice. Don't worry though. Black and Decker has a silver series of the batteries that purports to be 40% longer life.
Overall a great system and one I am please with.
- I brought this battery to replace the original battery which came with the Black&Decker saw kit. The original lasted about 1 year. This battery didn't last a month of regular home use. Very disappointing.
- Fortunately, I now have (4) FireStorm batteries as I have the 18volt trimmer/edger and the 18 volt driver/drill--this gives me an advantage when using my equipment--always a battery ready for use--------------
- Just great to have an extra battery for my cultivator. Now i can work twice as long!
- The firestorm version of this 18v battery is much better and lasts longer than the older version. You have to make sure though that you use the recommended charger and not the older Blacker & Decker chargers because you won't get the full charge. I have a pretty big backyard with lots of trimming and shrubs and one battery can last through trimming the entire yard where previously it took two!

5 comments about Black and Decker PS140 FireStorm 14.4-Volt 1.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery.
- Product was brand new and worked right out of the box. Very pleased with product and service.
- My old battery was wearing down and I wasn't sure if it was the charger or the battery. So I ordered both! When I recieved it and put the old battery on the charger, it worked , but has a pretty short life. The new battery lasted longer than the old one when it was good. I was about to buy a new hedger, but bit the bullet and tried the battery and I'm glad I did. Definitely worth the buy.
- I will never purchase another B&D product again. The original charger is garbage and one of the two batteries it came with died after using for about 2 hours (over a four year period). I followed all care instructions and had to buy a better charger for the battery that works. B&D has a two year warranty and would not give me a new one, even though the dead battery was barely used over the four years. It is ironic the other battery works????? If you want a cheap product this is for you but if you want reliability I would never consider them again. They did not even offer to inspect the battery at fault to correct the problem. After speaking with them they made me feel as though I was hustling these for a battery that does not perform good in the first place. Operating life on a full charge is about 20 minutes. You may as well take your money into the street and burn it.
- Bought 2 new batteries for my Firestorm setup - stuck the first one in the charger and next morning it was melted and unusable. DON'T leave you batteries in the charger for extended periods...which basically means you'll end up with dead batteries all the time. Crap.
- I received this product quickly and it was exactly as described. It is what I needed and priced reasonably compared with other purchase options.

5 comments about Bosch PS20-2 Litheon 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver with 2 Batteries.
- Bosch has always made some of my favorite tools. When I saw the Pocket Driver at a trade show and felt how light and powerful it was, I knew I found a great all-around screw driver for my business. I can use it for pocket screw joinery because the torque settings snug things up without crushing the wood. With the variable speed trigger, I can use it for controlled installation/removal of slotted screws. Contrary to some reviews, I even do some light drilling to start small screws (Vix Bits). Three people have tried mine and immediately bought their own. My DeWalt is now only used for drilling holes. Now I'm looking seriously at the Bosch Impact Driver for those screws the Pocket Driver can't handle.
- I work all day for 8hr continually, non stop.
The battery are easy to charge and fast only 30'.
You mast have one.
- This quality little drill / electric screwdriver is absolutely wonderful. It's smaller and lighter than a regular drill, but has a lot of power for its size (unlike those 3 to 4 volt "electric" screwdrivers). Rubber grip built-in handle is nice, easy to change bits (just pull, insert, and release), and LED light make this a very comfortable and easy to use tool. I was hesitant because of the price, but finally pulled the trigger and bought one, and I am very happy that I did so. I use this little Bosch drill much more than my bigger and heavier drill, and more as an electric screwdriver than a drill. Very happy with this product and highly recommend it to all.
- I bought one of these for use in a contract manufacturing environment. I'm the manager of several mechanical assemblers and just received a new contract to build laptop docking stations. These kits come with 2 batteries and a super charger that recharges the batteries in just 30 minutes. They will last up to 4 hours of constant use. Tongue is perfect and very easy to adjust. Not overly noisy like some impact guns. This is a nice smooth operation driver that does what it is supposed to do very nicely. I bought a second one for the same use. I'm not only a manager, I'm an assembler too. Had to have one myself.
- Drove self taping screws all day into a roof of a 2 car garage with TIN all day. My brother used it a lot and he stated he wished ALL his tools had a bright LED like that when the daylight started to fade out on us. We only used one battery but I had another one charged and ready to go. The first one did not loose power or die on us. That's a lot of screws.

5 comments about Black and Decker PS1MVC 8.4-Volt to 14.4-Volt 1 Hour Pod Style Battery Charger.
- The product was exactly what I expected for a good price and shipped very fast. I was happy with the transaction.
- I almost bought a standard replacement charger but then I read a review about how bad they are and it recommended this charger. Indicator lights told me that one of my batteries was shot. Other indicator lights let you know when the battery is fully charged - usually in 1 hour. Totally worth the money.
- Black and Decker PS1MVC 8.4-Volt to 14.4-Volt 1 Hour Pod Style Battery ChargerI purchased this product in the middle of may this year. I have used it several times and find that it works very well so far. My only dismay, is the fact that here in this part of Canada the only way to obtain this product is online. The s&h charges with customs fees cost more than the product, which really sucks. Why can't B&D make products like this available to us some other way? Like with the cordless tool to start with, instead of the cripple charger that comes with the tool?
- I had to replace the OEM charger because it died. Apparently B&D has had lots of problems with the OEM charger they originally shipped with the cordless drill sets a few years ago.
Amazon had the best overall price for the unit and as usual, their shipping time is excellent!
This charger is much faster than the OEM one that died, plus it will tell you, through the blinking LED signal, whether or not you have a defective (dead) battery pack. One of the two original packs I had was defective :-0
Still a good buy and a better price here at Amazon than you'll find at Home Depot or Lowe's.
-
Enough said. This works exactly as I expected. I had previously bought and older plug and cord charger that would actually drain my batteries of life if I left it plugged in. With this model, I can leave the battery in the charger until I need to use it.

- Finally a charger that will work and keep your batteries charged when you need them.
Great product.
- It works and at a fraction of what it would've cost retail or elsewhere online. Packaging was very no frills, but that's ok.
- was fast shipping and I would buy from them when the need arise again.

- This was purchased to replace a Black & Decker unit. I was concerned that it would work, but other than some difficulty in getting the batteries into the unit at first, it works just fine. This was much cheaper than the B&D unit but works just as well.
- Shipping time was good, use with both Black & Decker and DEWALT 14.4 volt batteries...Works great

5 comments about Black & Decker FSMVC 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt Slide Style Battery Charger.
- I have several B&D outdoor 18-volt products and the batteries wear out pretty fast. I wanted a charger that would charge one battery as I work with the others. The charge light blinks when it is charging and is steady when the battery if fully charged. The product description states "less than 90 minutes" for a complete charge.
I have charged about a dozen 18V batteries with this charger. The average time from when the battery is first inserted until the blinking charge light goes steady indicating a full charge IS ABOUT 3 HOURS 15 MINUTES.
Since this charger is made for 9.6 volt to 18 volt, I believe the "LESS THAN 90 MINUTES" is referring to the 9.6 volt batteries. The 18 volt batteries take more than twice that long.
The stock black charger than came with the products takes about 6 hours to charge an 18 volt battery, so this charge IS faster -- about twice as fast. But the "less than 90 minutes" statement does not apply to the large 18 volt batteries -- just so you're aware.
Whether it's worth $25 to charge a battery in 3 hours instead of 6, you'll have to decide. For me, I was a little disappointed that the charging takes more than twice as long as what was advertised.
- I have used this several times and am very pleased. I works like it's advertised. My older 18V batteries don't hold a charge as long as they originally did. With the charger that came with them it took too long to recharge so one short cycle per day was all that I could count on. With the 90 minute charger I can get it back to full chage before the other batteries are low.
- I burned out my original charger and ordered this as a replacement. If you need a replacment this is the product to buy.
- Charger supplied with combo tool set burned out. This is a great replacement, much better than what came with the tools.
- I am happy to have this charger because it allows me to have one of the Black and Decker batteries allways to full charge

5 comments about Peltor Professional Noise Canceling Earmuff #H10A.
- Sadly, the Peltor Earmuffs do not actually have any kind of noise canceling technology. However, you will not be able to hear much anyway given the ear tight design. On top of that, the earmuffs fit comfortably well.
Enjoy almost complete silence with these earmuffs.
- These are very comfortable and do a great job of blocking noise while still hearing enough to be safe. Try wearing them around the house and see how much quieter your kids(and probably your wife) seem.
- I'm noise-sensitive and I got a pair of these Peltor H10A earmuffs to cope with a noisy office. This model is Peltor's top model, from what I can tell.
I love them. The average background noise is completely gone.
I can still hear loud talking when it's close by, but it's reduced to only a faint muffled sound. My high-pitched phone ringing at my desk comes right through, which for me is a good thing so I won't miss calls. They probably do get uncomfortably tight after long periods so I might not wear them all day long (I just got them today.)
Yes, I'm sure they look dorky but for me it's a small price to pay for sanity.
- The earmuffs were very comfortable and cancelled almost all the noise from my gardening machinery.
- This is a durable product at a discount price u wont find at the local Wally World. I use my Peltor earmuffs constantly and they do a fine job of cutting down the HUGE db of noise produced by a variety of daily noise producers such as chop saws, chainsaws, weed eaters, lawn tractor,dog barks and wife hollas. ;) Opps i digress !
Easy to clean which for me living in the South is a must because nothing quite like putting on a filthy,sweaty, smelly thing on my ears yanno? This is easily avoidable with a quick cloth/paper towel rub down after use.
It is what it is a fine piece of basically plastic earmuffs nothing more and "noise canceling" is a bit of an exaggeration. No this product is more like noise "softening" But that is a good thing :) very good indeed.

5 comments about Dremel 761-03 7,000/14,000 RPM Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool.
- After years of fighting with our two mini doxies this product has been a true find. It's small, easy to use and fairly quiet. And, not having to fight a cord is fantastic! Within a week I had both dogs' nails back to normal with much less mess, fuss and trauma to them and myself. Now they don't even look twice when they see me set up to do their nails.
- I've used this twice, and really, for the price, it's a nifty little tool. I had originally looked at the peticure, but read reviews about the battery not lasting long, plus it costs twice as much. Thought I'd try this and it works great-especially if using rechargeable batteries. I know I didn't want a cord, and the batteries in a rechargeable unit will eventually wear out. This is great-if it runs down, you can pop in charged batteries and it keeps going.
I'm sure you can pay twice as much and get a better unit, but at least for me and my little chihuahua/terrier, this one does the job.
- First of all, using the Dremmel Pet Grooming tool is a lot less stress on me. I always have the fear of clipping into the quick while using clippers. Overall the tool is fast and painless. The only obstical to overcome is getting my dog to sit still when the motor starts.
- I have Pugs and they are very sensitive to nail trimming. This works very well (I use it on the low speed) and neither of my Pugs seem to mind it. It is so expensive to take them to the veterinarian for nail care, and this was not cost prohibitive.
- The sanders included are small, so you will need coarse 1/2 bands for any pet larger than a toy breed. I have a dobe/aussie mix (large nails) that has disliked getting his nails trimmed since being a puppy. I need to replace the batteries after every other use or else the speed is not fast enough to grind his thick nails. After each use, I also disconnect the battery piece from the handle to retain the charge. Once familiar with the buzzing, my dog definitely prefers a Dremel versus a nail clipper. It is also difficult to hit the quick of the nail if you use a light touch. I like the cordless feature because it's easier to handle and easy to transport. However, I would suspect a corded Dremel would produce a more constant rotation. All in all, a good product with the exception of battery life. I resolved that by using rechargeable batteries. However, this product would work best with smaller breed dogs or cats.
