Impact Drivers - 18 volt, cordless


Not long ago a friend gave me an extra DeWalt 18 volt drill he'd come into. I'd been using a 12 volt Makita for over a decade, and I was impressed with how much more torque and battery life the DeWalt had. The same friend also had a DeWalt impact driver from the same series, and again, I was impressed how well this handled mechanical tasks usually relegated to a pneumatic impact driver. But even more impressive was how well the DeWalt worked for driving screws.



A few years ago, the major cordless tool makers started to come out with impact drivers which they marketed not to mechanics, but to carpenters. While today's 18volt cordless drills do a pretty good job of driving screws, they still start to bog down when driving really long screws into hard or resinous wood. The slow, stall, and eventually overheat. But impact drivers don't do this. They work on a different principle, using a motor-driven hammer to repeatedly strike an anvil that drives the output shaft. As the load increases, they switch from spinning to a rapid-fire staccato impact mode, in which every impact turns the screw a bit farther, while the motor continues to spin and bring in cooling air.



I was very pleased to discover that Amazon had a DeWalt impact driver available in a batteryless and caseless package (for those of us who already have a charger and several batteries) for about $125. I purchased mine for a mix of yard projects- this is a great tool for driving the big screws used to tie landscape timbers together- home projects, and motorcycle/scooter maintenance. And amazingly, it's even lighter and more compact than the DEWALT DC759KA Heavy-Duty 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. I'm giving away my Makita 12v drill/driver to a nephew who likes tools and gadgets, and switching 100% to the DeWalt system. Bare-Tool DEWALT DC825B 1/4-Inch 18-Volt Cordless Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery)

I bought this last year after my Black and Decker 18v drill died it's 3rd death. I got it in a 4 tool combo kit on sale at Lowes. I build haunted houses for the Halloween season so most of what I do construction wise is with rough and sometimes very old and hard woods. The woods are also made super tough (like rock) from a chemical that must be sprayed on them to make them fire retardant. I found that before, even with an 18v drill that screws would shear off before going into the boards which made it difficult to make secure connections in the wood. It is hard to make something look old and spooky and still have it be safe so having good, solid tools is a must. Right after I charged the battery I tried this tool out. Wow!! It drove a 3 inch deck screw into an old hardened 2x4 in the blink of an eye!! I had never used a tool like that. It quickly became a favorite of mine on the jobsite. I used it hard and it never once let me down. I bought it toward the end of the build so I only got to use it on a few hundred screws but never a disappointment. I'm looking forward to using on this season's build as well as in my volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone who builds.

I bought this tool to add to my dewalt collection. I have had the 18volt dill for years and did'nt think that I need an impact driver. I was wrong. I am using the impact more that the drill for driving large screws. It make the jobs much easier. The driver was shipped by a third party and I received it in just a few days. I was very impressed. This is an excellent tool if you do lots of repair work with 2 by lumber.

I have long been a loyal DeWalt costumer, especially when in comes to cordless tools like the 18v drill I purchased 6 years ago. That drill quickly became my favorite tool and has seen constant use since. In fact I was so happy with the drill that I did not see any reason to buy an impact driver, until a couple of projects I was working on required me to drive a large number of constuction screws and lag bolts. My drill was able to drive them but not as easily or quickly as I would have liked, so I decided it was time to give the impact driver a try and my only regret it that I did not buy one sooner. This driver is by far the best power tool I have ever owned. It is absolutely necessary for driving lag screws or anything comparable but also preforms so much better in less demanding tasks like running deck screws. I have discovered that it is also quite handy for boring large holes even though that is not the intent behind the tool. If you put an Irwin Speedbore bit in this thing it will chew through 4 by lumber in no time. Using the driver for boring has saved my wrist on a number of occasions as those Speedbore bits require quite abit of torque to run and if the bit binds up while using a regular drill all that torque gets transferred to your wrist. Now that I have a set of Irwin Speedbore and Spade bits plus a decent hex drill bit set my drill is relegated to drilling metal and the occasional pilot hole.

This driver is also much better at removing rusty and stripped screws than my drill, just another unexpected bonus.

Without exception this is the one tool that goes with me to every job. - Dewalt - Cordless - Impact Drivers - 18 Volt'

Pencil Grips - ot, handwriting


I bought both The Pencil Grip and The Pencil Grip Crossover for my daughter. She actually holds her pencil correctly, but her grip is so tight that she hurts her finger. These grips open up her hand. They are fatter and cushier than other pencils grips I've seen. My daughter says they make it more comfortable for her to hold her pencil.



The difference between The Pencil Grip and The Pencil Grip Crossover is that The Pencil Grip Crossover has wings, which help prevent students from wrapping their thumb around the pencil.



The grips are easy to slip on the pencils and use. The only problem I had with it were the instructions, which had an illustration of the standard Pencil Grip. They instruct us to place the large end facing down, but it's hard to tell which is the large end, the bulbous end or the end with the wings? I had to go online to see how to use The Pencil Grip Crossover.



Basically, place the pencil in a vertical position with the eraser resting on the desk. Slide The Pencil Grip on with the stamped words "The Pencil Grip" facing down. If the child is right-handed, his thumb goes on the "R" and his index finger on the "L." Vice versa for left-handed children.



It's not easy adjusting children's pencil grasp. They like to hold it the way it works for them. This pencil grip helps adjust hand position without the constant need for verbal correction and the kids seem to like it. Even my son is using it, and I never asked him to. The Pencil Grip Crossover Grip Ergonomic Writing Aid, Metallic Colors, 6 per Polybag

We LOVE these pencil grips. One of our children has trouble remembering how to hold his pencil. These are the best grips we've found. He likes how comfortable they are. The grips really help him hold his pencil correctly.

We first used these when our daughter's preschool teacher gave her one to help correct her grip. She has had issues with griping pencils with her entire fist which makes her handwriting messy and tiring. These help so much! They also seem to work as a 'trainer', meaning she will use one while writing for several minutes then take it off and continue to hold the pencil correctly. The first one we had didn't last long when the dogs got at it. They are soft and colorful which seems to make them yummy looking to pets. After the first one was chewed up we went to the store to try and replace it only to find every other type of grip except this one. We bought several others which didn't help at all before buying these here. The only other sites we could find them on were school supply shops that only sold packs of a dozen or more, charged more than amazon (on a price-per-each comparison), and wanted nearly the same cost as the grips in shipping. I was so happy to find these here with free shipping. Having these grips has allowed me, as a now homeschooling parent, to use less expensive pencils rather than continue to purchase the triangular shaped pencils we were buying at $3 per 8-pack. At first I was disappointed that they weren't sold individually but now I like having all six; there are more if one gets lost, more for siblings to use, a variety of colors, and enough to put on several sharpened pencils to have on hand to avoid removing the grip to sharpen the pencil in the middle of a lesson.

The description mentions that this gripper works for lefties and righties, and it does. However, it is important to put it on the right way. If you put it on upside down, it doesn't create the correct grip. Be sure to show your kids how it should be placed because most kids with grip problems wouldn't know it was putting their fingers in the "wrong" place. We keep some at home, some at Grandmas and some in kids' backpacks. They are easily transferable, and can be used on crayons or narrow markers for extra practice with appropriate grip. Way nicer than those triangles we had when we were kids!

Pros: Very good for proper finger placement. My children have a hard time holding the pencil correctly. That was one thing I found out when I started homeschooling them was that they didn't know how to hold it right. When they were in public I focused on helping with homework, not holding a pencil. But I digress... This is great for proper placement & doesn't slide around on the pencil. Once it's on, it's not going anywhere very easily.



Cons: It's very hard to get off the pencil. The material itself is flexible and doesn't slide on the pencil but that makes it difficult when you need to move it to sharpen the pencil.



The material isn't indestructible. There are a few tears on the back of a few from getting it on & off the pencil for sharpening.



It makes your fingers sweaty after writing for a few minutes. After one math lesson, fingers have to be wiped.



Overall this is great for finger placement - which really that's what they're for - but the material itself leaves a bit to be desired.

My daughter is in 2nd grade and holds her pencil very awkward and also has horrible handwriting. We have been battling this problem since kindergarten and nothing has worked, except for these. They are making a huge difference and even when she doesn't have one on her pencil she is much more aware of her grip and how she is supposed to hold the pencil. The only problem is all the other kids at school think they are cool and they keep getting stolen.

If you are working with a child who has established the habit of an improper pencil position, then these work well to start with. Those just beginning to write may not need the crossover (which holds their fingers in place) as they would not have established a habit of incorrect position. So they can go right to The Pencil Grip Ergonomic Writing Aid, Assorted Colors, 6 Count Polybag (TPG-11106) When the habit has been long established, these are wonderful aides. But children are happy when they graduate out of these and into ones without the crossovers. - Molded - Handwriting - Ot - Left-handed'

Router Table - router accessories, clamps


I used this with an all in one clamp I purchased at another store. I was cutting a 1/4 inch dado into 3/4 oak ply. I made test cuts with and without the plate using a 2 1/4 HP Bosch router. I found the cuts with the plate much easier. Installaton was a snap because there were predrilled holes for my router base. Simple product to use, and it make the job a lot easier. Please take into account that I am a beginning woodworker, those with or experience may not need this type of tool, but for me, this worked well, and with little setup. This makes the dado cuts so easy that I am going to forget using a dado blade in my tablesaw. I would highly recommend. Good luck. XRP 8-Inch by 9-Inch Router Plate, Black

I bought the router plate, the wide jaws and the 50" clamp a few months ago, for a particular project requiring lots of dadoes in MDF. The whole system works as advertised, and is well worth the modest cost. A couple of notes--I probably over-tightened the clamp, causing a piece of the cam-lever to break. It hasn't ruined the clamp, but I assume the overall clamping pressure has been diminished. Second, I used a cheap router bit and pushed it so hard that I melted the router plate. That said, I sent a simple email to the manufacturer inquiring about replacement parts (and explaining the problems, even admitting my responsibility), and in less than two hours, the company responded with an offer to replace the parts (no cost). That's customer service.



Great product, and a great company that stands behind its product.

I've used the 50" clamp for a year, and recently purchased the plates. They are a two piece plastic molding, and while the molding is a little rough the plastic is strong. This type of plastic slides ok but it binds up on the track a bit if the angle of the track isn't exactly normal to the surface. A bit of wax on the track and the plate really improved the sliding action. You could use a teflon or silicone spray but it could interfere with the future finish of the wood. With a bit of cleanup of the casting flash and a bit of wax lubrication of the track it works quite smoothly, and I turn to this system quite often even though I have a large cabinet saw with a 50" fence and a large router table. It is less physically demanding to cut large panels with this guide than with a cabinet saw.



There are other systems on the market that work better but they cost a lot. This one is inexpensive. Just make sure you have good blades/bits that track straight and wax the track, and it will work well.

the router and circular saw slide are hard to attach to the saw in particular. both do not slide on the rail with out forcing them which results in a bad cut or rout job. would not buy these again or recommend them to anyone.

First, none of the many pre-drilled holes fit my very common Porter Cable router. Second, although there is a hole for a screw to attach it to the T-track in the clamp, one is not provided. But thirdly and most frustratingly, the slot in the plastic for the clamp's track to go through is too tight so it gets stuck. I twice got my router halfway through the piece and simply could not budge it any farther. I threw the damn thing away, another $20 wasted.

I don't normally write reviews, but the router plate, and it's sibling, the saw plate are really worthless. The clamp itself works well, but the cheaply made plastic plates will not slide at all on the clamp bar. This could be weather dependent, since my garage is quite cool, but the plates should slide regardless of the temperature. If you take the plate out of the track (gliding only on a portion of the track) then it will slide, but what good is that since it would be easy to cut crooked, if you didn't keep pressure on the clamp side.



Believe me, using your saw or router directly against the clamp bar will work better than using one of these lousy plates. I paid $63.00 for these two plates (including shipping), and this was one of the worst things I've ever bought.

The router plate easily replaced the existing base on my Bosch router. The router plate worked smoothly and without incident on the Emerson router guide. The Emerson guide was a challenge to my patience, but that is a different review. I was apprehensive about using this tool, and did prepare by vacuuming and blowing down the track before and after use. I understand that other people had difficulty using this product but I did not. - Router Accessories - Router Table - Clamps'

Girls Magazines - ages 9 - 14, kids magazine


I received a subscription of this magazine for one year, and although it has its good points, there were enough bad points to cause me not to renew. The magazine has tons of beautiful, full color posters of beautiful horses and ponies. I really enjoyed the quizzes and short stories, as well as some of the features. But my problem with this magazine was that it seems to lean towards the well-to-do little girls riding Welsh Ponies that are trained to show every weekend. I haven't read an issue yet that didn't contain an article about 'winning lots of ribbons in shows.' There is no focus on the other side of horsemanship: caring for your horse, keeping up your stable, and health care. It is simply assumed the 'young riders' will hand their lovely ponies away to their grooms and saunter off to hang their ribbons on the walls of their bedrooms, which will, presumably, also have the mega posters featured in each issue of the magazine. Young Rider (1-year auto-renewal)

I love Young Rider magazine! Anything you ever wanted to know about horses and ponies is in this magazine. There are a lot of contests, usually about five to six per magazine, that you can participate in. The best part for me is that you don't have to be "18 or older to enter". I enter every contest I can, and Young Rider is my best opportunity for contests. Plus, the prizes are great, even if you don't own a horse! You can even send a letter and get a penpal! I don't have a horse, but I love this magazine anyway, and it's always good to know about horses in case you ever drive by one. You'll know to slow down instead of just zooming by. You can learn the names of parts of the horse and equipment, as well as getting introduced to books and authors who have written books about horses and ponies. The only bad part is waiting for the next issue to come in the mail. All in all, this is a great magazine that I encourage anyone who likes horses to get!

This magazine is excellent! Offers horse care tips whether you own a horse or not. Helpful riding tips. Answers horsey propblems. You can win neat horse stuff. For kids who ride and don't ride. For begginers all the way up to advanced. I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE. I can't wait for the next issue to arrive.

I'm thirteen and first got this magazine for my twelfth birthday. I did not own a horse at the time (still don't, looking for one and in a lease with my trainer and her 3 yr old pony), but instead took lessons as often as I could, and came out every time I could beg a ride to the barn. It was great! - at first. A lot of the exercises I couldn't necessarily do - lunging was hard enough to find the time to do let alone some of the other things they talked about. But they have good stories - predictable if anything and excellent posters (my walls bear testimony to this). Also some stoires are useful (like dealing with spooky horses, different types of illnesses). While this is PREDOMINANTLY addressed to ten year old competitive hunters with their own $50,000 pony, I am looking for one less than $3000, am competitive but not very, and hope to not get a pony - experience tells me so. And still some of the advice they give is great. And yes, THEY DO WESTERN and I've seen them do bareback once or twice. They also do quick 'seasonals' the latest issue was about twenty pages thicker all with equestrian Olympic events and pics.

So join it - almost something is bound to catch your eye with an article, posters are excellent and their classifieds are helpful although not specific to Maryland my state, it's more of a nationwide, and NOT so specific.

Overall, friendly and worth da money.

My 6 year old horse-loving daughter adores this magazine! She can read the articles and stories--they are well written and interesting and not too old for her, and she loves the games, quizzes and, of course, the pictures! She likes it so well we are going to get her a subscription of her own, as we have been having trouble finding it in the horse stores. It is wonderful someone makes a great magazine for the younger horse-lovers!

I love this horse magazine so much!I love the quizzes, great posters and great acticles about real people and their horse/pony.I take riding lessons but don't own a horse but still enjoy this magazine! This is a great magazine for kids ages 7-13 i think. Some people say that people over the age of 10 are too old for this magazine, but I toatally disagree! I am 11 years old and I love this magazine. This magazine I think is for any good horse lover!

I am now 11 and i dont read young rider anymore. The writing is to easy and usually has some mistakes. It is slanted toward little girls with their $20,000 ponies who go to shows every weekend. For older readers I suggest Horse Illustrated.

Young Rider is a great magazine for the beginner- the articles are very simple and easy to understand. They have great posters, but there's usually an article on their backside. There are ads lining almost every page; there isn't nearly as much content as there used to be. The average YR magazine has about 60 pages/9 articles, which usually have half-page pictures. I'd reccomend a magazine such as Practical Horseman or Horse Illustrated for anyone over 13. But, for a young horselover, it's a very helpful resource. There's several pages displaying readers' pictures and stories, along with a few step-by-step articles. Things like coloring and markings are discussed in detail, and many famous events (like the Rolex Kentucky) are reported on. For the completely new English and Western rider, it would make a great gift.

The Young Rider is the BEST horse magazine for kids. It encourages horse lovers to love horses even more. It has great tips on riding English and Western saddle. It publishes letters that readers sent in the magazine. Young Rider also advertizes horse camps, tack, and riding clubs. Every magazine has two HUGE posters. My room is full of them. It talks about horse problems and how to cure them, horse breeds, stories, quizez, comics, and LOTS LOTS LOTS MORE! It is good for kids 5-15 and is great even if you are not a horse lover. All my freinds love this magazine! I loke this magazine! WHY CAN'T YOU!!! You will NOT be disipointed. So what are you waiting for? SUBSCRIBE NOW!!! - Kids Magazine - Ages 9 - 14'

I went to this web site to purchase two gift cards, one for my brother and another for my cousin. Easy enough right? Wrong! I went through the process of enterring all of the information; by the time I got to the end a pop-up would appear stating that I took to long and that my order wasn't processed. So, I went through the process again. Finally I received a confirmation number. Remember I had to buy 2 gift cards; I had the same problem with both purchases. Something told me to call AMEX and check on my purchases. To my surprise, 4 GIFT CARDS WERE PURCHASED!! I spoke with a representative who told me that -while on the phone- he canceled the extra gift cards. Today I checked my account, I saw 2 gift cards purchased on the 18th and 2 more cards purchased on the 21st. I love my family and didn't tell them, but I will be contacting my bank as well as AMEX for the second time. Take my advice and don't make the same mistake that I made.

Filter - woodworking, respirator


I purchased this same respirator from a local big box home improvement store and one of the inhale diaphragms is already missing after only a few uses. They are of lower quality compared to my older AOSafety brand respirator I've used for years without issue until new replacement filter cartridges became harder to find which is why I purchased the 3M model.



I agree with the other poster regarding the problem of moisture dripping out through the exhale port. This was rarely if ever an issue with my older respirator because the exhale port was located on the bottom of the mask and not the front like on the 3M respirator.



I purchased this respirator for a big project working in the crawlspace of my home and while it is not a bad respirator overall, however I would not call it professional grade. I expected a better quality product from 3M and this one has been a disappointment. 3M 62023HA1-A Professional Multi-Purpose Respirator

Gets the job done fairly well for most chemicals and dust, but for certain VOCs, like those from lacquer thinner, you have to pull the straps almost painfully tight. The build-up of moisture inside the mask could be better. If you remember to wipe it out your fine, but every once in awhile you'll get a drip in your finish, and that sucks.

This mask fit well and I think did the job necessary. The reason I say I think and the reason I could not give it 5 stars is the lack of clear information in the packaging. An OSHA-type table of the particular fumes this mask protects against is included but the table used OSHA-type codes and no layman could understand it. I even tried to find a website to explain the codes but could not. Even so, I had faith that it was protecting against the paint fumes that I purchased the mask for. - Respirator - Filter - Woodworking - Respirators'

Mouse Pads - gaming mouse pad, wowpad


Ever since laser mice came out, I've ditched the mouse pads but found some surfaces that laser doesn't seem to work right. This mouse pad is nice and big and allows the mouse to glide easily. Also found that mouse works more accurately, something I didn't notice until I used the pad. It's also nice and thin so that it doesn't get in the way and I can store it sandwiched between the keyboard and screen of my labtop/notebook. Because of the thiness, it does tend to move a bit more when I rest my wrist on the pad, but no problems when I keep my wrist off the pad. It's rock solid if I place a corner under one of labtop's rubber feet.



I would recommend this mouse pad to anyone using labtop computers providing convenient storage, looking to improve mousing accuracy, lifetime hygenic use (this can be wiped down and no covers to come loose), or anyone interested in extending battert life of a laser mouse. WOW!PAD 8DGW55 8.5" Diameter Battery Saver Tech Mouse Pad

My assumption is that the anti-bacterial property of this pad is supposed to prevent the usual gunk build up. After several months use, it has not yet required any cleaning. I'm docking this a star as it is not as sticky as I had hoped, and does occasionally tend to slide.



Overall, it is a decent product that I can recommend in good conscience; should this current WOWpad expire for whatever reason, I'm liable to buy another.

I have this "Battery Saver" pad for about 8 months - however, I am now looking for a replacement as I found there were numbers of problems with this mouse pad.



1. The non-slip side is not what it claimed to be; Even I follow the instructions of weekly wipedown, it only stick for less then a day - I have to end up using my keyboard as this pad's paper weight in order not having it slip across the desk like a overside flat hockey puck.



2. The operation surface become very smooth and it worn down - in less then 3 months; In another word, I will not recommend this pad if you are a gamer as the response rate of this pad will drop rather quickly. Even in standard usage web surfing was becoming an issue.



3. But its biggest flaw came from its "battery saving feature"; My laser mouse usually have to replace the NiMH batteries every 4 months in normal everyday use. However, after replacing my NiMH twice in first 3 months of using this pad, I switched to normal batteries and I am my 2nd set already.



So IMHO - save your money and get something else.

I have a very small slide out on my keyboard tray for a mouse. its just enough room to mouse on. most gamers would hate it, I happen to love it. I dont need a huge desk to mouse on. this mouse pad is the only one that lets me slide the tray in as it folds in due to it being so thin. It also fits that mouse tray absolutely perfect. Amazing product. I purchased one 4 years ago it finally wore out. the surface got smooth and attracted tons of dirt. but that was after 4 years of hard abuse. and it was worth every single penny.

BUY this if you love thin mouse pads. its very very slippery though. if you need grip. this wont work. It grips it's self to the surface its on real well but if your desk is on a slant it will slide off :)

stay away from fellowes they are horrible.



I tried cheeper thin mousepads and they sucked. This is GOLD! They have larger ones for you hardcore gamers:) best mouse pad there is.

While I tend to read reviews before buying a product like this, I rarely write them as I never seem to find the time. But in this case, I decided to make the time. I am a designer by profession and spend 50-60 hours a week on my computer. I replaced my gel wrist mouse pad with this one shortly after I got my new computer. I wanted something that would allow my optical mouse to track better than on my existing pad, and something that would give some protection to the top of my desk. I wanted something thin, secure but moveable, and something that was not visually distracting. This WowPad meets all those requirements. I have not experienced any of the problems I had read in other reviews before purchasing: loss of adhesion to the desk top, wearing down of the tracking surface, or even battery loss. Quite the opposite: It sticks to my desk which has a very smooth finish, but I can still peel it up and move it if needed. Plus the surface has maintained its tracking. Routine cleaning is simple and not bothersome. And my batteries are lasting longer. I have had such good results that I plan on replacing the mouse pads on my other two workstations. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is considering it. And honestly: for the low cost, why not give it a try!

Pros: this cool circular mousepad is just the right size for everyday mousing. Supposedly, the light gray color will extend the life of the batteries in your wireless mouse. While I imagine that this claim is true, I wonder how much of an issue battery life actually is with wireless mice. The last wireless mouse that I had went many months, or possibly a year or more in between battery changes, and I did not have anything special in the way of a mousepad.



It is very flat and thin, with no discernible odor. There is a slight gridlike texture on the top, while the bottom is slightly tacky. While it does not actually glue itself to my desk, I do not find that it slides around, either. I like the fact that the mousepad is totally cleanable, top and bottom, with regular detergents, and if the bottom loses its grip, it can be cleaned to be restored.



Cons: perhaps slightly more expensive than other mouse pads, and the whitish gray color is quite boring.



*********************



Update:



After a couple of months of use, I have found the backing for the pad to have become slippery, as others have reported. I followed the directions on the packaging, cleaning it with detergent, but that did not restore the original tackiness. I find the slipping to be quite annoying, and have discarded it. - Mouse Pads - Wowpad - Mousepads - Gaming Mouse Pad'
