Rick,
I am really interested in the new SawStop contractor saw...as a
contractor who has personally witnessed a friend injure himself on a
table saw, I feel it's clearly a must-have. How do you feel about the
quality of the saw and as a table saw, how does it compare to anything
else currently on the market? -Dale R
Dale,
Thanks for the inquiry.
Wow!
This one is easy.
I
have found the quality of the SawStop contractor saw to be outstanding.
Having assembled
and demonstrated the saw, I can tell you, without exception, it’s the
best contractor’s saw I’ve ever used.
The saw goes together flawlessly
and the assembly instructions are some of the best I’ve seen.
Dale,
let’s face it, it’s a SawStop.
Buy this saw with confidence.
You will not be disappointed.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to give us a call @ 1-800-696-8665.
I sent my dad a reconditioned DeWalt D51256K Finish Nailer for Father's Day. My dad Joe, a professional contractor for 50 years now (American Builders), is a big fan of DeWalt tools and especially likes to purchase factory reconditioned power tools because in his own words he's "somewhat of a tight wad when it comes to work supplies and tools and with factory reconditioned tools, you can buy a lot more power tools for the same price".
Features that he pinpointed on the D51256K in the video below are:
- Great warranty: same as on a new tool from DeWalt
- Lightweight
- Belthook for lefties or righties
- Easy to load nails
- Easy to adjust the Countersink
- Non-marring tip
- Quick jam release on the front

With Duo-Fast's specially formated fuel cell system, this is the first cordless 20 degree framing nailer with the power of a pneumatic nailer.

More news from Bosch today, this time on their new stainless steel jigsaw blades. Here's the press release with the full details:
Mount Prospect, Ill., July 2, 2008 – Specialty jobs call for specialty tools and accessories and Bosch, the world’s leading manufacturer of jigsaw blades, has introduced its Stainless Steel blades.
Until now, most users have used a standard bi-metal blade in stainless steel that quickly dulls and produces a less than desired cut. Bosch’s new blades are bi-metal with an eight percent cobalt steel additive which increases heat and wear resistance. This gives users a blade that last twice as long as a Bi-Metal blade and costs much less than blades with a carbide strip.
