DeWalt Heavy-Duty 12 In. Double-Bevel Compound Miter Saw
1 recommendation
"Yes, I am a proud owner of a miter saw! Not this one though. This is the one I'd like to replace the one I have now. I'm very proud of the table I made in my studio using scrap 2 x 4s and a sheet of birch plywood. It couldn't have been made possible without this tool."
Digital Measuring Tape
6 recommendations
"Records measurements and gives perfectly precise measurements."
Improvements Wonder Winder
1 recommendation
"Nice, neat way to store all that extra cord length when not in use. Just crank handle and extension cord is wound conveniently into a mesh basket. Plugs into wall and allows cord to follow as you use your power tools. Great gift for the handy man or lady in your life."
Delta JT160 Shopmaster Benchtop Jointer
1 recommendation
"I really want a jointer, and although this model has some big brothers that I'd like even more, this particular model is portable, and I could probably find a place for it in the basement, which might not be the case for the larger models."
BOSCH RA1181 Benchtop Router Table
2 recommendations
"This looks like a nice sturdy router table. It's made to be benchtop, but looks like it could work at a job site if you mounted it on some sawhorses with a couple of 2x4s."
Porter-Cable 4212 12-Inch Deluxe Dovetail Jig
1 recommendation
"Here's another spendy accessory, but one I'd like to get some day. This jig allows you to do precision dovetail joints that are essential to doing high end carpentry like furniture and cabinet making."
Porter-Cable Variable Speed Router Kit
1 recommendation
"This kit is great for people who need both a fixed base and plunge router, but don't want to buy both. It's also reasonably lightweight for the power it puts out, and it comes in a great case."
Bosch Circular Saw with Direct Connect
1 recommendation
"Mine is an older version of this saw without the Direct Connect power cord, but it is still one of my favorite tools. Incredibly powerful (and henceforth incredibly dangerous) this saw can cut through virtually anything. Set up with a straightedge for a guide, it can actually be used for some finish work. An absolute essential for most carpenters, this saw can be used on almost every job."
Bench Dog Table Extension for a Table Saw
1 recommendation
"What a clever concept! Although I'm not sure this would attach to my table saw, I love the idea of being able to attach my router to my table saw and not have to have another whole table-sized power tool to cart around. Even if I had a workshop it would still be nice to minimize the space taken up by tools."
Milwaukee Right Angle Drill with D-Handle
1 recommendation
"This right angle drill will drill holes through studs and joists all day long for running wiring and plumbing. It's also great for stirring thinset and grout, which may not seem like very noble work for a fine drill like this one, but it is work that will quickly burn out the motor in almost any lesser drill"
Freud Dado Set Arbor
1 recommendation
"This dado blade set is a bit of an investment but if you've ever used a table saw to cut a dado one blade width at a time, you'll understand the value."
Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw
2 recommendations
"This is one of the best jig saws on the market, and it isn't even that expensive. I love the smooth feel of the machine running and the blade ejection button - no more burning your fingers on a hot blade! It's still a jig saw, however, and even though the cuts are smooth, they still tend to wander with the grain of the wood. That's why you might need a band saw too."
Bosch 1594K 6.5 Amp 3-1/4-Inch Planer Kit
1 recommendation
"I really wish I'd spent the extra $40 on this planer over the lesser model that I bought a few years ago. The increased surface area on the guide would help in getting a more precise right angle cut on the edge of a piece of wood, such as a door which these little planers are so commonly used on."
Bosch 3365 5amp Planer
1 recommendation
"I have this planer and it does a pretty good job, but sometimes it is hard to keep it at a perfectly right angle when shaving off the side of a door, or some other trick finish work that must be done perfectly. Although I'd highly recommend it for someone doing occasional dimensioning work, I already have my eye on an upgrade for doing more finish work."
DeWalt DW682K Heavy-Duty 6.5 Amp Plate Joiner
1 recommendation
"I prefer to call these biscuit joiners, but call them what you will, this Dewalt is a fine example. I only wish I got to use mine a little more."
DeWalt Single Hot Dog Compressor
1 recommendation
"Quite possibly my next compressor. The 4 gallon tank has enough capacity to run a big framing gun without having the repressurize constantly, yet the whole unit is not too big and heavy to prevent being able to readily carry it from job site to job site. It also runs fairly quietly with a nice guttural roar."
Hitachi C12LSH 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter saw with Laser Guide and Digital Bevel Display
1 recommendation
"This is so on my wish list. I'm sick of my heavy old chop saw that I can't get the angle adjustments dialed in just so. Plus this is a sliding dual compound miter saw that doesn't require a huge amount of clearance behind it for the slider arm. In fact they say it is zero clearance, so I can't wait to check this one out in person."
DEWALT Replaceable Knives Planer
1 recommendation
"This might be a bit boring for a ThisNext recommendation, but anyone who's ever used a planer for a while has had the blades get chipped. It happens really easily too, a little bit of sand or steel stuck onto the surface of the wood you're planing will do it, and then you don't get that perfectly smooth surface you seek. It's just good to have an extra set of blades handy, especially if you swit..."
DEWALT Stand with Integrated Mobile Base
1 recommendation
"This looks like a great stand for using the the Dewalt DW735 planer at home, but I'm hoping to find one that folds up for easy transportation to customer sites."
DeWalt Thickness Planer
1 recommendation
"My newest toy. This planer blows away my older Delta. I've only used it on some pine so far and it smooths it out like a hot knife drawn across butter. 2 speeds for dimensioning or fine finish (and the dimensioning setting is still ultra smooth! Now all I need is a nice stand..."
Woot : Hyundai 18v Cordless Drill
1 recommendation
"Awesome - just what I need for a good father's day gift. I can always use my own solid cordless - for whenever. 18V is no joke either as I tend to always only have 14 or so on hand. This can probably drill sheet metal with the right bit. Worth a look, and Dad won't complain. Just don't forget an extra battery to spare you the wait-headache when you forget to charge the one it comes with. Bes..."
DeWalt 14 Pc. Titanium Drill Bit Set
1 recommendation
"Even though this set is made for the professional, it contains all of the most common drill bits. As an extra bonus each bit has a titanium coating that helps to extend the life of the bit. We also love the compact carrying case and how each bit has its own marked spot which makes your bits easy to find when ever you need them."

1 recommendation
"Big Men's Tools has quality cordless power tools. Electric generators are useful in the event of blackouts. Pick up some auto accessories for your next job or to haul your ATV off-road. High quality air compressors are great for power tools"

Campbell Hausfeld - 02-Gallon (Direct Drive) Quiet Air Compressor
1 recommendation
"The CBS Early Show recently featured this air compressor during a segment on properly inflating your tires. Plus, Campbell Hausfeld specially designed this unit to be extra quiet. In fact, it is 50% quieter than other 2-gallon air compressors. It's perfect for the hobbist, who wants the power of an air compressor without the noise. It's perfect for the homeowner, who wants to inflate tire..."
Campbell Hausfeld - 13-Gallon (Direct Drive) Air Compressor
1 recommendation
"This air compressors has powerful motor, that can run the majority of commonly used air tools. Plus, the 13-gallon tank is large enough to run some continuous use tools (like spray guns and sanders). Yes, a large tank would be better, but this one is great if you lack the space."
Toro Homeowner Mowers
1 recommendation
"After mowing lawns for 40+ years, I finally have a mower that does everything it's supposed to do, and does it well. I've had this model for 5 years, and it always starts on the second pull. i only use the electric start once a year. just make sure it still works. Never fails. It also sucks the grass into the deck and cuts ALL the way to the edge of the machine. I never use a trimmer anymore. When..."
Makita BHX2500 24.5 CC Blower
1 recommendation
"I like the power of this blower. Since I have a really large area to rid of leaves and debris, I think the 24.5 CC's of this Makita Blower is perfect."
