The Shark is great, but Red Devil is Better
I take molding and casing apart everyday. While I use the Shark all the time, I reach for Red Devil's Scrape'n Pry Bar #4050 more. Combine the Shark with the Red Devil tool and a 3" flexible scraper (to open up a small gap)and you will be unstoppable!

Just buy one
Just buy one. This thing is endlessly useful. One surprising thing is how strong the thin end is; you would really have to work at it to bend or otherwise damage it. I can't think of any other tool that is that thin and that strong.

Amazing how useful this is
Used it to remove a bunch of moulding w/o destroying the moulding like I would have using a regular prybar. Used it to remove finish nails that were buried too deep to get a hammer claw to pull them. Used it to pull out nails that were missing heads. Hey, wait a minute! This is exactly what the product description says it does. Yep, works as advertised. Amazing :-)

Wish I had known they made 10" and 11" inch models (the ... page for this item doesn't crosslink those other models). There were a few times when I wish I had more leverage and the 10" model is only 2 bucks more.

This tool will add to the quality of your life
Beleive it ! I can't say enough how useful this tool really is. It is absolutely the thinnest prybar available. Where it really stands out is getting behing delicate moldings without damage. Yet it's so tough , you can stand on it with your full weight and it won't deflect one tiny bit. It's designed so that when prying ,just a little force turns into some major leverage. Have you ever had trouble pulling a finish nail or one without a head? No more. A tap with a hammer is all you need to get a firm grip on the shank of any nail with the super sharp jaws. It also works very well at scraping paint,concerete,glue,grout,caulking,wood,plastic,ice , whatever is on it that you wish wasn't. I've used them to lift drywall into place. The list goes on and on and continies to grow every day. The bottom line is this. You need this tool. Everyone who sees mine wants one , so you might want to order 2 or 3 or 30.

This tool will add to the quality of your life
Believe it ! I can't say enough how useful this tool is. It is the thinnest prybar available . It excells at getting behind delicate moldings without damaging them. You can stand on it with all your weight and it won't give a millimeter. When prying ,put just a little force on it though and it really produces some serious leverage. For removing finish nails it is simply unbeatable. Even if the head is gone this bad boy will rip it right out with its super sharp jaws. It also works very well for scraping paint,caulking,concrete,grout,wood,glue,ice or whatever is on it that you wish wasn't. You can use it to lift drywall into place, the list goes on and on.

My elbow loves it.
After overworking my right arm constructing an addition,(I'm an air cond. contractor, not a framer) for six months I could hardly grip with my right hand. The tendon damage was considerable. Every time I tried to hammer the injury would flare up. A local building supplier said try this hammer. Amazingly it works... and works damn well. No more pain, the injury has healed but using any other hammmer other than the antivibe will cause pain after an hour's work. The shock that went thru the arm to the elbo is gone. Worth twice the money. ... Read more

Designed for professional use, and offering considerable savings over all-leather tool belts, the Contractor's Rig by Bucket Boss is a lightweight tool belt that's still packed with features. With 30 pockets and built of Anso-Tex nylon, this belt is roomy enough and very tough. You'll really notice the considerable lack of weight--especially compared to leather models--and that's where this belt wins most of its converts, by pleasing guys who are tired their tool belt's dragging them down. The Contractor's Rig also includes foam-padded pockets; a padded, adjustable belt that fits waists 28 to 52 inches wide; a cat's paw sleeve; padded hammer sleeve; a special tape measure pocket; and generous nail and screw storage. Overall, it's a solid choice. --Jonathon Tudor ... Read more

Good for Light work !
I've used this tool belt rig for over a year now in Florida, doing custom High-end trim work. I'm a professional with over 20 years in the field so I guess I can critique with some authority. The actual waist belt " sucks !" it went directly to the trash ! the left side fastener belt has good storage saving the fact that both small outside pockets lack depth and tend to rip where they are fastened , the steel framing square pocket could be a little deeper too! the pouch also lacks a tape pocket where you can easily access your tape measure , a clip would not be acceptable. The right hand tool pouch is pretty good some more inside partitions wouild be nice but , Oh Well! The hammer holder is useless I've closed the bottoom with a n electrical ty and use it for keeping a skeine of masons line in it. I've added a seperate hammer holder and use a seperate tape holder with the adddition of a STRONG 3" leather belt . I've hhad this belt for awhile as I've said and its time to have it restiched or replaced . Hard to get these things perfect I guess! all in all what can you get for FORTY BUCKS these days

I wouldn't buy any other toolbelt.
I am on my third "contractor's rig". I have something stuffed in every pocket. I re-hab old houses and I do more things than just carpentry. I carry a framing hammer, nails or screws for the job, screwdriver, pliers, cold chisel, awl, nailset, utility knife, crescent wrench, miniature screwdriver, 5 pencils or markers, razor blade scraper, electrical tape, 2-prong plug adaptors, electrical connectors; latex gloves, sandwich bag of misc. fasteners, paper towels, paint can opener, wood dowels, end nippers, wood chisel, nail claw, (2) voltage ticks, flashlight, 25' tape, some other odds and ends, and safety glasses. I like a toolbelt that is lightweight so I can pack around more tools. I like the Contractor's Rig having so many pockets... it has spoiled me for any other toolbelt... I am always on the lookout for a toolbelt with more utility, but I haven't found it yet. I have to use padded suspenders from Nailers with it because of the weight (and to attach my cell phone to), but, the belt is not all that easy to attach suspenders to. I have a 32" waist, which means the two bags, the tape holder bag, and two hammer loops (sometimes I carry an extra hammer or prybar) pretty much fill up the belt for me and still keep the bags off my thighs and to the side when I climb ladders or work on my knees). I have had to make repairs and sew up the toolbags a few times, but if you are using a toolbelt every day it is going to suffer wear and tear. The hammer sleeve makes a great place to store safety glasses.

Not bad
Im a helper with a crew that does rough framing and have been using this rig for a little over a month. Overall I am satisfied with the belt, especially the price. A helpers pay won't afford one of those $100+ setups out there.

Each pouch has a nice big pocket that can hold a ton of nail clips even if you have a bottle of water in there, which you need in this south texas heat. When I first got it I had to switch around the left and right pouches. I like the one with the two fastener pockets to be on my left. They work out great. I keep a small supply of hand drives in one and cap nails in the other. The third nail pocket on that pouch keeps concrete nails, but its hard to get my fingers into it. And theres no way a human hand can fit down there. Having that speed square pocket on the left is nice to.

The tape holder doesent seem like it would work well. And every time you look down at it you wonder how in the world your tape hasnt fallen out yet, but it works great. Its nice to not have your tape taking up pouch space. My tape has never fallen out - (a 25') but I don't think it would hold a 35' well. The hammer hanger is excellent and works way better than the hammer sleeve. That hammer sleeve DOES NOT protect your leg. My estwing beats the heck []out of my leg if I keep it in that sleeve.

The right pouch has a mammoth pocket just like the left one. And it also has three small pockets inside it that hold my knife, torpedo level, and pry bar perfectly (wish I could keep that bar somewhere on my left though). The middle pocket (which I didnt even notice for a few days) holds a chalk line like a dream. The bottom most pocket I dont have anything in but its nice to have that storage space. I like to keep the big pockets for nail clips.

There are a great many places to put pencils but no pencil pockets where I REALLY want one, its not a big deal though. The pocket that has the covered flap works well to hold a short ratchet action screw driver I have.

The nylon is much tougher and resistant to tears and punctures than I thought it would be. No need to baby this rig. The belt itself is comfortable (once you get it adjusted where you like it) and unless you are really loaded down with stuff you don't really notice your wearing it.

I can't comment on whether or not this would make a good "contractors" rig but it sure makes a great "helpers" rig. I would definitly recommend this belt to anyone that needs a good rig but doesent have a ton of cash to spend.

Contractor's Rig????
My advice is to pass on this tool belt. [After two months of use] this tool belt is coming apart at the seams with VERY light duty use[...]. I doubt it would last a week as a "Contractor's Rig".
In addition it has been a pain to use since day one. The belt simply will not hold its position, if you buy this tool belt plan on occasionally wearing it around your ankles.
Also, the front nail pockets flop around dumping their contents as you walk, kneel down, or climb ladders.
I own other Bucket Boss items that have proven very durable and useful. In my opinion they missed their usual high mark on this one.

"Contractor's Rig"? I don't think so!!
My advice is to pass on this tool belt. I received this item on April 9, 2002. It is now June 6, 2002 and this tool belt is coming apart at the seams with VERY light duty use (just as another reviewer mentioned it's the stitching at the tool slots).

Jet disappointed me.
After recieving my 1442 Jet Lathe with a very good instruction manual, I really expected the same with other products I rec'd from Jet. However, for this kit, Jet purchased an instruction manual from a book store and the manual does NOT show how to use the items in the kit! Plus the manual uses jigs and other things to drill and press parts that aren't in the kit. The mandrel is not the same either. You would think a company as large as Jet could afford to have their own manual printed with the equipment as shown in the kit. I expected better! ... Read more

The BEST tool I own.....Period!
I know it sounds crazy but this is the best tool I own. This flashlight was free mail-in rebate when i bought a 14.4volt drill about 8 years ago. I'm now building a new house and use this flashlight every day. It's take'n ALOT of abuse over the years (being dropped more times than I can count). I own alot of power tools, battery and electric, but use no single tool more than this light. The years of dirt and grim have taken there toll on the power contacts in the swivel head so I have to swivel the head to keep the light lit sometimes now. [The price]is alot to spend on a flashlight but I'm here ... to buy another one because I can't live without it.

Good Light, Nice Bonus
I got this work light as a bonus when I bought the reconditioned cordless drill package 6233DWBEL (a great buy!). It's a good work companion and I can't complain about its convenience and performance. It uses the same batteries as the drill and many other 14.4V Makita products. But, this light just doesn't have the same feel of sturdiness as my PorterCable 19.2V work lights. The body and the swivel head mechanism don't appear to be as durable as the PorterCable model. Don't get me wrong. Makita is one of my brands, and I love the drill, but I would not buy this flashlight by itself at the price being asked. Maybe I'm partial to PorterCable, but the bodies of their work lights seem to be better quality.

Bright
I own a Makita 9.6 volt flashlight and love it. This 14.4 is much brighter. The only complaint would be that it is not balanced well because of the heavier battery. ... Read more

Good product -- but side force can damage unit
I've owned these horses for at least a decade and find them quite satisfactory.

The sawhorse top channel is predrilled to attach a section of 2 x 4. I attached a 2 x 2 on top of the 2 x 4 on each horse, to make sure a saw blade wouldn't contact that steel channel. Also, the horse will flex noticeably without a 2 x 4 stiffening the top.

A nice feature for tall users is height adjustability - from very low, to as high as 40" (not counting the 2 x 4). Plus, each leg can be set at a different height; quite useful when working on uneven ground or floor. I installed a 3/8" hook at the end of each horse's 2 x 4", and hang the folded-up tools between unfinished studs in the garage - this way, they take up virtually no storage space when not in use. Nice.

Although rated at one ton per pair by the manufacturer, that rating is for downward force only. A side/horizontal force rating would be significantly less than that. E.g., if the horses were heavily loaded on uneven ground, the leg-stops could collapse without warning. As an example of this weakness, a friend accidentally ruined a horse through a simple accident. With legs locked into position, he was attempting to carry the unit through a doorway. One set of legs hit the door frame, with the other set hitting his body. This mild collision bent the horse's top channel on both ends where the leg stops are attached, and the leg-stop's rivets were loosened. Luckily, our local Home Depot sells these horses in quantity one. Although rated for one ton per pair, my advice is to stay well below that weight, and don't use them for a standing platform - since side force could topple the horses.

There are two aspects of this product that should be improved.

First, instead of requiring the user to spend several minutes per horse attaching legs with small carriage bolts and wing nuts, a quick-connect method should be devised.

Second, the top channel should be thicker steel, and the rivets used to attach the leg-stops should have a large head on both ends so they wouldn't pop loose so easily -- horizontal strength would thus be improved.

Best sawhorses I've owned
Completely made of metal, these saw horses are solid and stable. Legs fold when the extensions are fully retracted and there is a hole for the wing nut and bolt to hold the extensions in place. Not a problem for me. Four nuts and bolts, big deal! Eight for the pair. Each sawhorse weighs about 20 lbs. There are metal stops to prevent the legs from folding back in when they are in position for use. So, no chance for the sawhorse to collapse while holding up heavy loads. They are the best sawhorses I've ever owned. I even use them as safety catches when I do heavy squat exercises because they can be adjusted high enough. I've mounted a 2x6 on the top of them so I have something to clamp my work to and to protect the handsomely painted metal surfaces.

TS-501
After using the original TS-101 folding horses for a few years and always feeling they were just a little bit to low for my back, I recently decided to purchase a set of the TS-501 folding horses. The extra height the extendable legs provide definitely make it easier on my lower back, especially when working with a sheet of ¾" plywood or something similar by myself. Portability is always a big factor for me with any tool or piece of equipment due to the fact that my truck is already well beyond being full with other necessary tools and job materials. Traditional fixed saw horses are out of the question. These horses are quite rugged and take up very little room when folded.
As with other folding horses I have used, you have to be sure and preset the legs squarely on the surface below before use or they may have a tendency to spread unevenly and become unstable when you place a heavy object on them. I personally feel that an additional locking pin for the legs would be an excellent safety improvement. For some reason there doesn't seem to be much documentation or user instruction included with the horses and not much more available on Fulton's website.
I have found that mounting a 2 X 4 on the top of the horses stiffens and adds a good deal of stability as well as helping to preventing accidental contact of a saw blade with the metal top. The 2 X 4 also helps prevent slippage and scratches the surface of the material being worked with. The legs can only be folded back in for storage when set in the lowest position, which requires removing and reinstalling the four wing nuts and bolts used to secure the leg extensions. I also believe it is intended, from a safety standpoint, that the maximum load only be applied with the legs set in the lowest retracted position, but without any documentation from the manufacture, I can't confirm this.
I don't think I would feel comfortable using these horses as a work platform to stand on, but with an eight foot 2 X 12 plank placed across them and secured in place with a couple of "Quick Clamp" bar clamps, the horses do make a good, stable base to mount a miter saw to or for use as a temporary work bench. If you need job site portability and want to make things a little easier on your lower back when working, then within the limits of the design, the TS-501 should be a good choice.

Good, but needs improvement.
The main reason I purchased the Tote-a-Horse TS-501 was that the legs folded down inside the body of the unit - making a very small package for storage - important to a weekend warrior like myself. Each of the four legs is made up of two heavy gage stamped metal pieces. One leg segment is bolted to the TS-501 body and attaches to the second 'adjustable' segment via stamped holes and tabs, and secures with a carriage bolt and wing nut. The grist is: the legs wont fold into the body for storage unless you completely remove and re-attatch all 4 of the leg segments at the at the lowest (unusable) level. At that level there is no hole for the carriage bolt through both leg segments. So, you have to store the nuts and bolts (easy to loose) somewhere. I returned my TS-501s and got the Tote-a-Horse TS-101. Same as the TS-501 but the non-adjustable legs fold into the body of the unit - no fuss, no muss - and they're less expensive.

Falling Over
There are some definite postitive features about these particular sawhorses, but as a contractor often on the move some drawbacks. The amount of weight the TS-501 sawhorses can handle is surely impressive, but the folding style legs leave an uneasy feeling with any substantial weight load. The legs never seem to open well all the way. The legs have a potential to fold with any shift of the weight. An accident like this occurred with me. I had set a significant amount of deck boards on the saw horses for the weekend and when I had returned the legs had buckled to the side, the boards were scattered and the opposite legs had broken through the manufactures stop. Fortunately nothing below was damamged and the boards remained in tact, but my saw horses are useless now. ... Read more

Streamlight Stinger: Great rechargeable light
The Stinger is a great rechargeable light. It's small yet provides a bright amount of light for about an hour. With the adjustable lens, you can choose a floodlight or spotlight.

The Stinger comes with two charging cradles and an AC cord and DC cord so you can have one in your car and one at home. Therefore you can always have your Stinger charging to be used whenever you need it. The extra bulb in the tailcap is also nice.

+'s: small, bright, fits easy in your hands, adjustable beam, 1 hour run time, you can charge the battery without taking it out of the flashlight, charging cradles allow you to place the flashlight from the top or "snapped" in from the front.

-'s: long charge time unless you buy the "fast" charger.

If you need to constantly use a flashlight that is small but powerful (security guard, handyman, plumber), the Stinger will not disappoint you. The rechargeable battery will save you money in the long run.

Although expensive, it is good quality and I would buy this flashlight again. For a brighter light, check out the Stinger HP which is rated almost 3 times as bright. ... Read more

Well worth the price
Like a lot of people who will be looking at this light, I am a long time user of Mag lights. They are bull tough and well made.Well, this light is made even better, and the handle section offers a much more positive grip than a Mag (it even has a lanyard on the end). The Xenon light is brighter than my Mag of equivalent batteries - it does not, however, have near the range of focus that a Mag does.That isn't a huge problem as any 2 D cell is better used for fairly close work anyway.Leave the long distance spot for the 6 cell. There is plenty of light for lighting up a trail or barn. The Xenon will light up reflective trail markers for at least 200 feet, much further than you're likely to be able to see through brush or trees.

As far as the LED portion of the light goes, I am very pleased.The switch has three lighting positions - 5 LED, 10 LED, and the Xenon, in that order.Under fifteen feet or so, there isn't much brightness difference noticeable between the 5 and the 10, but you can really see a change past that.On ten LEDs, the light is useful up to about 40 feet, more if you happen to be in a cave.Most of the time, I just use the 5 LEDs as I generally only need something for under 15 feet.This light will be great for catfishing - switch it to 5 LEDs and just leave it on so it's handy and doesn't get lost on the ground.And 5 LEDs are all you'll need to walk the most darkened trail.Battery life is long enough not to worry about running them down when using the LEDs.

One little problem I have is with the lanyard.It's attached with a split ring to a permanently attached point on the base.It is not very stable to stand on end with the lanyard in place - it will do it, just tip easy.However, you can remove the lanyard from the ring and reinstall differently to make it easier to remove.During a power failure, it's nice to have a flashlight that can be stood up on its end.This one doesn't have the Mag's candle feature, but with ten LEDs bouncing off a white ceiling, it will give good emergency lighting for a room or used in a tent.Of course, the lanyard also gives you the ability to hang it overhead, which is difficult with a Mag.

All in all, this is a worthwhile step up from a 2 D Mag, even at twice the price.

Great flashlight, some minor problems
I bought this flashlight in November of 2003. My intention was to purchase a high quality flashlight that would last a long time and I believe the Streamlight fits my requirements nicely. The construction is patterned after Mag-Lite's series of flashlights and is very solid. I have not been able to scratch the anodized casing.

The LEDs are very bright and can be turned on 5 at a time or all 10 at a time. Usually, 5 is enough for anything I need to do. The xenon-bulb is unfortunately not particularly bright. It's comparable to a Mag-Lite but not to some of the other high-power lithium-battery flashlights that you can buy. There is a rotating lens that can focus the beam but it only really works for the xenon bulb. For the LEDs, the lens only changes the beam from reasonably concentrated to very diffuse.

Streamlight 51001 TT-2D 2D-Cell Twin-Task Flashlight
I love this one. The Xenon bulb is not particularly effective, the flashlight is heavy,
and you need up to 3 clicks to turn it on/off. I still love it. It is so much
fun walking home from work [3 miles] in dark winter nights. I used
it all winter with the same batteries, the Xenon bulb is barely visible, but
the LEDs keep going. It's not only fun-fun-fun, but if I were ever attacked,
I am sure it would be as effective to defend myself as an uzi if not better.

I have the "titanium" version and it looks like a piece of [industrial] art.
It is superbly made. I had one minor problem with it and customer support
sent me the replacement part immediately. ... Read more

Equally good and Equally bad
The last company I worked for had several guys that were hard core Stiletto believers. The weight of the titanium is awesome. It allows anyone to drive nails all day long without getting a tired arm, and tennis elbow in the long run. However, the handles are usually junk. One guy went through 2 Stiletto handles in 2 weeks, then finally got a Craftsman handle. The Craftsman never broke on him. I recommend buying a different handle right off, or drilling a hole through the top of the handle and packing a rod (steel or metal) into the hole so the rod goes past the base of the Titanium head where the handles normally break. The way it appears with all the Titanium wood handle Stiletto hammers they are either a really good hammer, or they are junk and break. BTW pulling nails with Stiletto hammers voids the warranty. They recommend a nail puller to pull ALL nails. Spend the extra $130 and get the solid Titanium Stiletto. You won't regret it and it will last forever.

A poor imitation
The hammer that I purchased is a casting, and not a forged hammer head that I thought I was going to receive. As a result one claw broke off on the first nail that I tried to pull. It certainly is not worth the price! Steer away from this one, if you expect to use it for more than a wall decoration. Doesn't anyone make a forged titanium hammer?

Nice for worn out arms
For those unfortunate enough to have some form of repetitive stress injury (for example, tennis/framers elbow) this hammer is excellent. Due to the highly ductal quality of titanium, there's less rebound--transferring more power to the nail--so the hammer drives like a 22 to 24 oz framer. If it's still too light for you, wait for the 16 oz titanium. It's less like a California framer and more a classic Vaughn style and drives like a 28 oz. ... Read more

What a hammer!
I bought this the other day from ... and it is the wisest purchase I have made in a long time. Pardon my french, but this is one hell of a hammer. It beats in those nails like nobody's business.

You can use it to lay sod, fix the shower drain and chop firewood. It's great for opening walnuts and getting rid of the rabbits that are always digging in my garden and eating my tomatos. Damn rabbits.

WOW!
Amazing hammer. Works like a hot darn. Easy to hold when it gets wet. Packs quite the punch but does not feel awkward. My only complaint is the checkered face on mine wore down very quickly, not a huge deal however. It sure has made the tendonitis clear up in my elbow. Keep up the good work Stanley!

Simply Amazing
Never before did I think it possible that a hammer could make such a difference. Before I bought this hammer I had no friends and was stuck in dead end job. Now, after only purchasing the hammer one week ago, I am married to a beautiful woman, have been promoted to an executive position in my company, and I even grew 6 inches.
This hammer is amazing. I can't promise this hammer will do the same for you as it's done for me but I sure am happy I bought this hammer.
My only complaint is that the waffles on the head of the hammer leave one hellava mark on your thumb when you miss those nails.

Treat yourself!
I was tired of using a 28oz Estwing in the concrete formwork business. Another great hammer but to heavy for me and tendonitis was setting in - ouch! A salesman at a nearby Home Depot introduced me to this model and it is truly a joy to use this hammer. A must have item I would say.

Smooth swinger
I really like this hammer. One negative is the curved handle doesn't slip in and out of my hammer loop and nicely as it could. Other than that it is as shock free as you can find. I recommended it to the other carpenters on my crew. ... Read more
