The more you use it, the more you use it.
This is a nice strap clamp kit. The key is the adjusting system. At first I thought, why not just use a strapping tie down assembly available at the local home center, at a third of the price. After all, it is a nylon web strap and it has a tightening and releasing system. The problem is that it gives you tighteness in a racheting fashion. So you are either at one click or the next one. No fine adjustment. Additionally, without the corner braces that comes with the Vario kit, you would be catching the corners, and creating a less than equal pressure.
All told this Bessey kit is a very nice unit, and does a good job. For the money it would be hard to beat. Highly recommended.

Terrific Clamp
This clamp has come to my rescue several times when building boxes, bookshelves, or anything where I need even pressure all around an object. The mechanism for tightening the clamp tightens very well -- first you turn a gear to get the straps snug, then you turn a thumbscrew to firm it up all the way. The corner braces are great when you are tightening a box and you want to make sure the corners don't get damaged. Yes, even though it is a vinyl strap, the clamp can still make indentations in the wood if you tighten it enough.

I gave the clamp 4 stars instead of 5 only because the gear mechanism is a little awkward to use. I emphasize that it is a minor problem. Sometimes, when you are trying to turn the gear, the clamp feels a little off-balance. But once it's tight, and you turn the thumbscrew, it's fine. With better positioning of the gear, these clamps would get 5 stars, no doubt.

4 Corner clips are not enough
I recently purchased two of these clamps to try out. I purchased two of them because I needed more than the 4 corner clips that come with it. Most stores do not carry the VAC-6 extra package of six clamps. I am sure that slows down sale of that clamp. I have several other Bessey clamps and they are wonderful and very useful. ... Read more

Worth every penny!
I've had this level for about a month, and it is definately worth the price. The rare earth magnets are extremely powerful and it never falls off the pipe. A lot of the guys I work with just bought one once I showed them mine! - IBEW l.u. 430 Electrician

The Best Level Made !
I love this level and all the other guys want one too.
IBEW Local # 3 NYC baby ! You just gotta have one if you bend ANY pipe from 1/2 " to 4" or what ever. It's just great.

best level for pipe bending (IBEW # 12)
This is the best level i have used for running conduit I really love it for for the amazing strength of the maganets,unlike other levels that either will not stay or with a little bump fall off.You can even leave it on the end of emt pipe while bending with a hand bender.Would definitely recommend this level

Best Torpedo level ever
I am a L.U #134 electrician and this level is the greatest thing since sliced bread, it's amazing how strong those little magnets are. It's definatley worth the high price for a torpedo.

how can I review if you don't ship it

Works for Me!!! Great Product!!!
I am continually buying tools to speed up the process of hanging drywall and found this tool almost too good to be true. If you are serious about hanging drywall this tool is a wise investment. I especially like the fact that you can adjust the measurement setting so quickly and get down to business. I've used the tool now for over 4 months and do not have any operational complaints. However, I though that the packaging the tool came in was somewhat misleading because it suggested that you didn't need a utility knife. While the tool does make the long rip cut easy; you still have to finish your cut by snapping the section of drywall away from the cut you made with the tool and then use a utility knife to score along the crease on the back !!

Great Tool!
i found the tool to be well made and designed. Works great just as described.

The tool hat dont work
This tool stinks, hard to use and doesnt do the job it is suppose to do. It wastes more time than it should. I can cut 5 boards to one doing it by hand.

Valuable asset to any drywall installation
I loved this tool. When it arrived we were in the beginning stages of remodeling a large warehouse. All of us shared the tool at times to make the long "rip" cut. What a snap! I'd say this tool is the first serious improvement to drywall cutting. Just be careful that you don't cut yourself when changing the blade.

Overrated
While not a bad tool, I found that using a utility knife was just as easy and fast. I used this for the first few cuts and when I needed something the tool couldn't do (uneven cuts along a sheet), I used a knife, then by the end of the job was always using the knife. Save your money and buy a good utility knife, some extra blades and a good straight edge. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The best ideas are often the simplest, which explains why Jorgenson is well known among woodworkers as the maker of some of the best clamps available, and their 3/4-inch steel bar clamp is no exception. No shop can have too many of these. They offer a basic, reliable design--featuring a crank handle, no holes, no rivets, and no notches--that leaves little room for improvement. These clamps are great for a huge variety of jobs, can be used on any length of pipe your task requires, and can be relied on to keep their grip without loosening up or slipping. Removing the clamps when the job is done is quick and easy every time. Sure, some may say that a clamp is a clamp, and to some extent that's true. But with so many brands on the market, there's a reason it's so hard to find a shop that's not full of Jorgenson clamps. If you're looking for reliable clamps at a price that allows you to buy as many as you need, Jorgensen clamps are tough to beat. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

A Woodshop Standard
These versatile clamps are simple, strong, and a cost effective clamping solution. I recomend using black iron pipe as it is softer than galvanized and therefore the clamp grabs it better. Most stores that sell black pipe will cut and thread it for free. Have them thread both ends and use a cap from a pop bottle to cover the unused end. You can the use cheap pipe unions to join the two pipes to make a longer clamp.

Why buy Pony Brand? They are superior to their asian knockoffs in EVERY WAY. Pony pipe clamps are always concentric (nearly every asian made clamp I've owned are eccentric and do not operate smoothly and require serious grinding to make them usable).

The pony's screw is larger in diameter and the threads are beefier. I have bent some asian clamps thread post but never a Pony's.

When you are gluing up a panel and trying to beat titbond's tack time and suddenly your Chinese clamp binds up on you you will say to yourself NEXT TIME ITs GOING TO BE PONY!

This is one of the last of the quality "MADE IN THE USA" tools that hopefully will never change.

Oh - one more thing - I've seen these ebay used for what Amazon is selling new ones for!

Good product, but get some clamp pads, too
I built a shed recently, making the door from tongue-and-groove decking boards. Before I could attach the 2x4 braces I needed to clamp the tongue-and-groove planks together. To fit big tools in the shed this door is 3-1/2' wide, so I needed a couple of big clamps. Two of these Jorgensen fixtures, plus a pair of 5' black pipes, did the trick quite nicely.

A few useful tidbits:

- The threaded black pipe recommended for use with these clamps comes with black grease to lubricate and deter corrosion. Clean this off before attaching the clamps so you won't mess up your wood.

- I strongly recommend getting a set of rubber clamp pads when you order your clamp fixtures. You only need one set for two fixtures. Don't gouge up your wood.

- The screw clamp fits into the orange sliding flat surface with a steel pin. One of mine came out, and I had to go get a hammer to re-assemble the clamp. I deducted one star for this, but it was just annoying rather than a fatal flaw.

- Black pipe typically comes in sizes from 1' to 5'. Shop for the pipe before buying the clamp fixtures if you need more than 5'. The fixtures take up a good half foot themselves, so 4' pipe wouldn't have worked with my 3-1/2' door.

Bottom line: an essential tool if you're trying to build something big. Recommended.

2nd best
Very good, sturdy clamps. I only rated them 4 stars because Rocklers surefoot is a much better design with equal the quality. Use galvanized pipe, same price & it won't rust or stain your work. Also for some homebrewed clamp pads take some scrap 3/4" fir plywood, it's relatively soft & doesn't split, cut it into roughly 2" x 3 1/2" pieces. Then drill a 1 1/8" hole towards one end & paint it with polyuerathane. Slip it over the pipe & screw it to the clamp faces from behind with #6 x 3/4" sheet metal screws. You'll wind up with decent clamp pads that won't stick to glue or come off of the clamp.

The Tool that Time Forgot
I've used these hoary things in my shop for decades, and they always do what they're designed to. They're cheap, versatile, nearly indestructible, and still made in the good ol' USA. However, I wonder what Amazon's writers were thinking when they described these as having a "hardened steel thrust bearing".

A Shop Basic
If you work with wood, you need a few sets of these. They're strong to the point of being unbreakable, they won't flex under any reasonable clamping load, and they stay upright and won't roll around.

One tip: Get some 3/4" foam pipe insulation and keep it with the clamps. You can cut pieces of foam to varuious lengths, and wrap them around the pipe. That'll keep your wood from getting dented or oily from contact with the pipe. ... Read more

A lot of Laser for the $$$
Nice job Stabila! The first time I used this laser I wasn't sure I would like it because even though it is rotating, it is manual leveling. To my surprise, it leveled up very quickly and accurately. The features on this bad boy are great! First of all it has 3 speeds for the rotating mode, this comes in handy when using inside and you want to see the line. But it also comes with a receiver to use on long distances outside. It also has a really cool feature where it will osolate back and forth to draw a line (3 lengths of line too). I now use this feature most of all. It comes in a kit with a lot of stuff and a nice hard case. This laser does everything my big one does except self leveling, but as I said, this became no problem.

Long standout makes this tape "stand out" from the crowd
Absolutely a must have for do-it-yourselfers. Getting critical measurements by yourself can be a chore if you need to reach a long way. I recently did some remodeling in my kitchen, and this fat baby was indespensible. The top hook feature was a great addition as well. I was able to reach out much further than with any other tape I have used before. As an added bonus, the rugged construction of the fat max holds up to the most severe jobsite abuse. I've had mine since they first hit the stores around October of last year, and it has held up just fine through every rainy day, early morning concrete pour, and sling-the-tape-against-a-concrete-wall temper tantrum. (Nobody's perfect) One small drawback: the 1-1/4" width creates quite a curvature from the top to the bottom of the tape, making short measurements a bit of a trick. You have to take care to hold the tape at an angle so as to put either the top or the bottom of the tape flat against the work surface. This is a minor consideration though, and doesn't detract from it's overall function or usefulness.

Must have for the serious user
The Fat Max 25' Tape not only reaches a good distance, it has a great feel and well balanced. I've been buying the same Stanley 25' Tape for the last 12 years, trying others and not liking them. This one beats them all. I've also had alot of positive feedback from co-workers borrowing it. I didn't think I would find one, but it's my new favorite tape measure.

A must have for the professional
The Fat Max 25' Tape not only reaches a good distance, it has a great feel and well balanced. I've been buying the same Stanley 25' Tape for the last 12 years, trying others and not liking them. This one beats them all. I've also had alot of positive feedback from co-workers borrowing it. I didn't think I would find one, but it's my new favorite tape measure.

As almost everyone said, the best...but
Not to belabor the point, but the tape is great! If you are looking for a tape with a great standout, (11 feet I think is a bit of an exageration, maybe up on Mt. Everest where the air doesn't weigh as much) easy to read tape, and good heft in your hand then this is it.

Here comes the but... if you are going to be measuring things where 1/16th of an inch makes a difference, the wide tape that's easy to read makes it tough to get it perfect.

So here is the recommendation, if you are only getting one, and you are only doing framing, sheetrock, rough measuring you've got your man. If you are going to be doing finish work, trim, etc spend a little less and get the Stanely 33-599 25' contractor grade tape. Easier to get the last nit measured.

This tape takes top honors.
This tape is just the right feel in your hand and its wide blade makes it a winner. Once you buy one, you'll never go back to the flimsy little ten dollar tapes of the past. I am a carpenter and even at 25 bucks per tape which i payed when they were introduced I still think they are worth every single penny.
A+ tape measure, couldnt ask for more, dont know what some of the lesser reviews were about- i'm a builder and give it two thumbs sky high. I also noticed this tape took top honors in fine homebuilding magazine. ... Read more

All sandpaper is not created equal. As a result, we love Mirka paper. The backing is beefier than other papers, and to us, that means quality. Aluminum oxide grain is the choice of most woodworkers because it's sharp, durable and, best of all, long-lasting on the higher paper grades that won't shred on the edges. This assortment is perfect for professionals, homeowners, and hobbyists because it includes everything from stock-removing 80-grit to a nice 220 finishing grit. Yes, you can spend less on other sandpapers, but you'll end up spending more in the end. This is quality. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Mirka Rules
Mirka paper is not only the quality choice; it is also a bargain at Amazon prices. I had previously purchased a full box of Mirka paper for my 6" sander, in the most popular grades. Have since done a lot of sanding with it. This brand of sandpaper is great. It is aluminum oxide which lasts and lasts. Additionally the backing pad is made from thick material, so it holds up well, and won't bugger the edges of your sander.
I had a body shop for twenty years, and came to realize the advantage of quality sandpaper. The cheap stuff does not hold up. You will go through a zillion sheets of paper, and will actually cost you more because of it. The Mirka paper lasts so long, that I wind up with a used stack. By the time it is to change to a different grit, the existing piece isn't worn out yet, so I keep them.
I went into Home Depot and checked out the Norton paper, I wasn't impressed. It also costs less per box, but they only give you 25 sheets instead of 50 like these Mirka boxes. So you get twice as many sheets here for only half again as much money. Not only is it a bargain up front, then the paper lasts a lot longer, not to mention the superior job it produces. You can't beat that.
This is the paper deal you want. Load up. Mirka rules.

We have used the Mirka PSA papers purchased from our former supplier,now ourt of business. We have been looking for a source to purchase a paper with a good sanding life that does not fill. We use it on raw wood or finished. We are also, at times, required to use Mirka to sand strip furniture and when we do, we experience three to four time the life of other highily recommended papers. Mirka is tough, dependable, and leaves a good surface for finishing. We are PLEASED to find another source for this quality sanding paper. Our experience speaks to us Mirka if your looking for a quality result!!!!!!!

Installation of Werner PK80-2 auto-leveler
The instructions are detailed and didn't leave anything to the imagination. The instructions have different sections for the different ladders and require a careful study before and during the installation. At least the instructions are only in English, having multilingual instructions would make it way too confusing.

Installation took about 3 hours to accomplish for my D6020-2 20' fiberglass ladder and its a little scary permanently modifying such a nice ladder knowing that if you mess up the ladder can be permanently damaged or made useless. Take your time. Here is my list of things to be aware of going into this installation.

1) Be very careful aligning the drilling templates!!!

2) Center punch the hole positions good then your drill bit shouldn't wander. I didn't need to do this but you might pre-drill the holes with a smaller bit if necessary. You have 6 holes to drill over about 14" x 3" area so the drilling must be done very precisely if the side rail is to align correctly. The rail bracket doesn't have any give in it for error.

3) Double or triple check your measurements/instructions and drill bit sizes. Be very careful sawing off the square aluminum bar that runs through the rung as it has to be within 1/8" accuracy.

4) Don't remove the black electrical tape that comes on the side rails, this is done near the end of the installation.

5) Hack-sawing the side rail is the easy part. Previous review recommends a cutoff wheel which I'm sure works well but isn't necessary. Before doing this I'd mount the side rails to check your drilling accuracy. This is the point of no return before cutting off the existing ladder feet. If you messed up the drilling which I'm sure you won't if you are careful you can always abort the project here if necessary. The holes shouldn't hurt the ladder but cut off the feet and their side rails supports and, game over.

6) Drilling out the heavy rivets from the bottom rung is a royal pain and maybe a cutoff wheel would remove the head faster. I don't do that everyday so I'm sure there are better methods.

7) Have a good clutched drill and a 7/16" socket and it will speed up putting the 14 nuts on the side rails and the two feet.

8) Make sure you have good sharp drill bits, the sizes are indicated in a previous review and note they are less common drill bit sizes.

9) Wear a mask for the fiberglass drilling.

Good product, the ladder is definitely better and even stronger when the project is finished!

Great ladder accessory with a few caveats
As advertised, the PK80-2 Automatic Ladder Leveler easily adjusts to uneven ground. If you frequently use your stepladder in these conditions, this accessory is indispensible. This accessory does have the following disadvantages:

1. Installation should be done by an experienced handyman. Allocate a few hours to do the installation. Messing up the install may ruin the ladder, as the original ladder feet must be cut off.

2. The ladder will be somewhat heavier with the levelers installed. Before the levelers, I was able to easily move my 26-foot fiberglass extension ladder; with the levelers, I typically require help handling the ladder.

3. Installing the levelers widens the ladder foot spacing, as the levelers are placed outboard of the ladder rails. The resulting width is greater than the depth of two standard stair step depths, and the adjustment range of the leveler won't span two standard step heights; so, if your expecting to use the ladder against a wall with the feet on different steps of a stair, you'll likely have to still need some sort of platform/spacing under the lower foot.

The tools required for the install are: Power drill, 5/32", 3/16", and 9/32" drill bits, two 7/16" wrenches or sockets, #2 Phillips screwdriver, a hacksaw (I used an air-driven cuttoff tool), center punch, square, straight edge (2' or longer), scissors, pencil or marking pen, tape measure, metal file (sandpaper is also usable), adhesive tape, goggles, dust mask and gloves (for fiberglass ladders), and a 1-1/4" hole saw (for fiberglass ladders with rungs riveted to side rails).

Other tools listed in the instructions (for 2-section D1500 series ladder only, which I don't have) are 5/16" wrench or socket, 3/8" wrench or socket, 1/8" diameter punch, chisel, and C-clamp.

IMHO, the install is easier to do if you use air tools (i.e.: cut-off wheel, air drill, butterfly wrench). Also, the reattachment of the spacer sleeves is easier with rivets, instead of screws. I'd also suggest drilling pilot holes for the side rails as the 9/32" drill bit easily drifts off center when drilling through fiberglass; even after using a center punch.

Great Product...
I have a set of these on my 20 ft. ladder, and I am in the process of purchasing a set for my 32 footer.........I don't want to paint another day without them. They save time, work great, and most of all I don't worry that a block of wood will slip out from under the ladder leg . This is one product that can make your job much safer and easier if you use ladders a lot.

I have these on all three of my ladders, and wouldn't use a ladder without it. It makes it very easy to use the ladder on an uneven surface.

They are well worth the money and easy to install. ... Read more

excellent ladder
As a remodeler every job I go to to work and pull out my ladder, all the other trades want to use it and then keep it. I have "killed" other 2' ladders and almost me by stepping off the wrong side, but not this one. You cannot go wrong here! I rate this a 5 star investment.

Step Stool
Just a great ladder. You can easily stand on the top step without having to worry about losing your ballance or your feet getting tired. It fits in small places and is easy to carry. It is also the right hieght for working in houses.

Versatile!
I was given two of these ladders over a year ago, and used them so much that I ordered two more! Although a bit heavy/bulky for the taste of two of my people, the rest of the crew loves them. One of our more common uses for the stool is to set them up as indoor scaffolding when performing lengthly ceiling/overhead work. Sorry I didn't discover this item years sooner!

Fantastic Little Ladder
We recently purchased several of these Werner 2' Tall Fiberglass twin step stool / ladders. They are the handiest ladder we have ever owned. The height of this ladder makes it perfect for countless projects from framing, wall papering, painting, changing lights, electrical work, projects in the ceiling of your basement and the list goes on and on.

Extremely sturdy, this ladder is also a true 2 sided ladder, which even more adds to it's versatility. Make sure you keep your eye on this little ladder if you use it on a job site as they are so popular, they are likely to go home with someone else ( purely unintentional I am sure......)

Seriously, you will love this ladder and find uses for it that you never could have imagined......Plus, Amazon's price is very competative and the freight special is makes this an even better value, as if it needed any help!

Excellent basic turning set
I bought this set to replace the tools when I sold my Shopsmith. I have lathe chisels made by Sorby, Henry Taylor, Woodcraft, and Delta. I use the Delta for the majority of my turnings, mainly pens. These are High Speed Steel tools with excellent handles. I sharpen them on a Delta vertical water cooled sharpener. They hold their edge as well as any of the others. They are definately NOT Carbon Steel as the previous reviewer claims. I have been very pleased with these tools and would recommend them to anyone doing spindle turning.

The tools seem to be of carbon steel.
Carbon steel for lathe tools have be mostly replaced by high speed steel. Carbon steel needs to much more frequently sharpened. Sharpening carbon steel on a high speed (greater than about 400 rpm) grinder is very tricky. Is is very easy to overheat the carbon steel and ruin its hardness. Amazon.com should consider adding high speed steel turning tools to it's tool selection. ... Read more

A strong blast of wind can set you back to square one if you've just spent the past few hours wrapping new construction or a house about to be sided.

Leave Your Tools at Home... This is more than Enough
I've had one of these for a little less than a year now. I'm responsible for the tech support of a huge division in a major college in the New York City area, and this is the only tool I bring with me. I've used it fro everything from fixing computers, to repairing typewriters. It has paid for itself a hundred times over. Highly recommended!!!

Handier than I expected!
I'm a geek, but you probably wouldn't pick me out in a lineup (not that I've been in a lineup, but...). Anyway, I must say that the Cybertool Pocket Knife really is as great as other people say. It's easy to use, and I find myself carrying it with me far more than any other tool I have, just because it is so verstile.

Geeks must-have
Okay, I'm not the geek, my husband is, but I bought this knife for him months ago and he's not been to work without it yet. He is a software developer and does a bit of work with hardware as well. He says it's a great tool for anyone doing detail work with computers, eyeglasses or musical instruments. It has come in handy with (his glasses, obviously) and my flute. We've also found uses for it with kid's toys (getting those damned battery compartments open), cell phones, aquariums, baby monitors, stereo equipment, and as a handy-dandy package and letter opener. You don't need to be a geek to apprecaite all that!

A Tech Toolset and Swiss Army Knife Combined
Everyone should have a Swiss Army knife, as they come in so useful, especially on the move. The question usually is: which one? Well, for me it was the Cybertool, mainly because it has all the features of the standard Swiss Army knife, but incorporates some precision tools, which comes in great for me at work, I just keep it in my case with my Laptop. One of the best Swiss Army Knives on offer.

Geekgirl's delight
As owner of an all-female IT support company, I purchased this tool for all my techs for Christmas last year. We're all absolutely enchanted with it. Leatherman's tools are ok, but if you work on Compaqs you have to have the Torx bits. We've already got cell phones, pagers and pdas hanging off our belts, and there's just no room on a gal's belt to add a Leatherman and the toolbit accessory. The cybertool fits in a pocket or purse and gets the job done while maintaining our sleek appearance. One caveat, however - if you leave this thing at a client site it will NOT be there when you return for it!! So now I'm up here looking at the Cybertool 34 - we'll see how it stacks up against the original. ... Read more
