Cool Tools To Giveaway for a Blog Review

The first impression of these tools is something exceptional. I have put in charge my drill / electric scredriver by Bosch To make some tests on the road. I plan I will do this next weeks, just need to find someone house to attach and disassemble every thing

I‘m up for the ESR meter. I have a Sencore Lc102 that is awesome but I’m worried that something in it will die soon. I use it to check capacitors mainly as just value is not enough. I have repaired a multitude of things with it. I also like to measure metal detector coil inductance for home made coils.

My mini roadtest of the Wera Zyklop Mini-1 set is now on the Element14 community, please see  Test of Wera Bit-Check 30, Zyklop Mini 1

But to summarise, the set is a really well constructed, thought out and useful tool which could litteral 'save the day' in some situations.

Thank you again to rscasny for sending this to me to test.

They look pretty good! congratulations!

Hi rscasny

Nice...that new tools coming up. I would also be interested to do the tools roadtests. Particularly interested in the Leatherman 14 in 1 Multitool and the ESR meter.

Best of recovery. I am personally not a fan of going to the dentist myself.

Regards,

I usually carry  a SOG multi tool but would be interested in reviewing the Leatherman. Also wouldn’t mind reviewing the ESR meter to see how it compares to my cheap model.

I was looking for something in the attic one day when I found an old rusty table saw left from my late grandpa, it was sitting up there for around ten years. So of course I brought it down (my parents were thrilled to say the least) took it apart, cleaned it and fixed the switch on it, but that just wasn't enough, I took u-profile aluminium that was lying around (it was originally bought for making a part of the fence but it was the wrong size, so I had a lot of it), and decided to make a stand for the small table saw. After a few days of drilling and cutting I ended up with this

In the end I added the small shelves on each side, they are incredibly handy for holding some tools and pieces that need to be cut. I made them to be easily removable to easily clean them out after cutting, so they aren't bolted on or anything like that. The stand itself came out very sturdy and stable, I tried it by sitting on it and trying to twist it but it wouldn't budge. While this tool looks like and is primarily a wood working tool, it has helped me immensely with all sorts of projects. I don't have a bandsaw, but this does one hell of a job cutting 4mm plywood without leaving edges very rough when feeding it slowly. It really sped up a lot of stuff for me, as well as enabled me to do a lot of new stuff, since before this I was primarily cutting stuff by hand, here is how it looks like now!

As for the tool review, I would love to write a review blog about Duratool PC Maintenance Tool Kit, it seems like an awesome and versatile tool kit!

Hi Milos,

What a nice job you did on the table saw, it looks like new. I bet your grandfather would be really happy and proud to see his saw back in service.

That's very nice. I hope it provides many more years of service!

You probably know this since you are already accomplished at creating the stand etc. and you have goggles there too, if you can, it's good to quickly get into a habit of using a prodding tool (scrap of wood for example) to keep your hands away from the blade, it is surprisingly easy for the object being cut to fly off the table if it catches on the blade, and pulls fingers into the blade : ( Also even a small table saw can propel the object towards you at speed, not fun if it is sharp metal : ( But aside from those precautions, it is an incredibly useful tool.

Listen to shabaz , safety is the single most important aspect of using any tool.  Table saws are so dangerous.  I have had many close calls and a few trips to the Emergency room due to lapses of judgement while pushing things across the blade.
