:: The official TOOLS thread ::

I have Dremel, B&D, Dewalt, and Ryobi rotary tools. They can all use the same 1/8" shaft accessories.

The Dewalt that I have (DW660?) is the best cut out tool of the lot. It comes with the cutout bits and vertical guide that usually are extra accessories for Dremel kits.

Were did you get yours???
Peaks have the dremel: https://peaketrading.com/product_info.p ... njfsnn2sj1

[adnj]

If you're talking about the Dewalt, I probably shipped it in. You can look at the usual local stores. They probably carry it too.

dont really need it 11-32mm

was a bit heavy to bring in
500.00
cost a little more as it was more than 10lbs shipped

[adnj]

I was in POS Bhag's and I noticed that there was a B&D and a Rotozip. The counter attendant didn't know if/when there would be any Dremel tools.

Bhagwansingh also has the dremels

I called looking for last week and they claimed they didn't carry it. Wtf. Do they carry the accessories?

I sure i saw dremel stuff there

And they have a whole rack with all the different tips, trincity/piarco branch

I have bought Dremel bits at Bhag. I don't believe that they don't carry any.

Hmmmm....probably was somewhere else then.
But i sure they have all the bits.
I bought 2 that day.

Customer service at pos bagwangsingh Is the worst, i guess workers salary matches the service. They seem to know nothing, at always they can't help u.

Just got a Worksharp, was on a slight sale last week for $55 from $70 since then it went back up. Pretty decent for what it is, sharpened all the kitchen knives in about 10mins. Definitely recommend for anyone who does a lot of cooking, the 6000 belt strops back the blades pretty quickly. Paid $120 to clear it.

On another note, where could I check for decent socket sets (with ratchet) Had a couple el cheapo ones before but they not worth it, preferably metric and imperial. I'm also looking for an E-Torx socket set as my car has a lot of those bastards on it, if those exist down here. I checked all the usual suspects in south, allied, ssl but I fine for the price they're calling, you're not getting quality. Like $700+ for a set that costs like $40-50US

[adnj]

Try Pricesmart. The ChannelLock set that they carry (or did) is 4-1/2 stars on Amazon, better and more expansive than what most people will ever need, costs about what you would pay (about $700) with no extra shipping or waiting, AND you still get a warranty.

If you want a specific set, Tekton makes very good tools also. Many Stanley sets are well made. Husky is hit or miss. Some of those are made by Stanley as well.

There's no reason not to buy Snap-On, Proton or Craftsman Pro if you want to either.

I see its made by the same people who make the drill doctor drill bit sharpener

Tool Store (L&G) in POS has the Toro blowers (originally $300) on a sorta sale for $150. Limited stock. They are not in box because the box was damaged. The blowers working great still though. At $150 that is more than a steal.

[Ted_v2]

good deal, bought one for someone already. works okay, does the job. excellent for 150 tho.

[bossmann]

Anywhere locally sells waterstones?

Thanks for this.

Got one just now. Been on the fence about buying this for the last couple years, but this price was enough for me to consider giving it a try.

Bought it mainly to help with drying the cars after washing (hopefully getting rid of those pesky water drips from the mirrors, windows, trunk etc after drying).

They had 10 when I went this morning (well 9 left now)

[pugboy]

What type of blower is this ?

[hydroep]

Was looking for some 1/2" to 3/4" stepped drill bits. Had no idea those things were so damned expensive...$ 250 - $ 400 depending on the brand (Dewalt, Bosch etc.)...

[pugboy]

Much cheaper online, eBay
