BEST SAW I EVER OWNED
I am NY framer and my number 1 tool on the job is my circular saw. That saw doesn't stop from 7:30am until 4:00pm. I've owned a Bosch which I despised and even the DeWalt 369CSK which was a great saw just TOO MUCH PLASTIC. The Makita weighs a bit more but for the love of GOD, I've never used a more powerful saw. This thing rips through CCA like it was 1/4 inch plywood. BUY IT...YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!

Gimme a Brake !
A very good saw with a nice, big table that runs smooth, BUT... spring the extra[money]for the next model up with the blade brake. I mistakenly assumed this model had one when I ordered it and I was wrong and I miss it badly. And what's the light for? You can't see it in anything less than dark conditions and should you be sawing in the dark? This is another superfluous marketing gimmick that drives the price up with no real benefit to the consumer. Too bad. ... Read more

ALOT FOR THE MONEY
This is a bargain. You get the drill, two batteries, a charging unit, a case, a built in bit holder with long phillips bit, a small plastic case with 10(or so) bits and the flashlight(adjustable head). This drill has some heft and feels good in the hand. It is well balanced. All the items fit easily into the case. The case has a built in pocket where the instruction fit. This is nice because many times the instructions get in the way when you are trying to close the case. Each battery took about 45 minutes to charge. The other reviewer is right. This drill is not the same as the photo. It is missing the cushioning on the handle.

The only problem I had was that the chuck was jammed open. I had to wrench it free with a couple of pliers.

Cordless Electric Shrub Pruner
We purchased this item recently for our large yard. We have a wide array of shrubs and ground covers. The shrubber did an excellent job shaping overgrown shrubs and trimming woody rosemary ground cover. It worked equally well removing spent flowerheads from perenials. The shrubber is lightweight yet powerfull and was easy to manuver and control even on hilly locations and hard to reach corners. The lock off switch that assures that the power is off is an important safety feature. We are purchasing a second "Black & Decker Shrubber" so my husband and I don't have to fight over the one we already have. Speeds up pruning and avoids sore hands and wrists from too much manual trimming. Great gardening tool--highly recommended!

Shrubbers and plants come in different sizes...
If you have bought one of these items and don't like it, that's probably why. You have to buy tools based on the type of job and outcome expectations. Your job requires a larger size trimmer.

I'm a big fan of Black & Decker. They've been making affordable and quality products for decades. The 6" cordless shrubber I just bought is no exception. However, you need to buy tools that fit the job. No tool does everything. That said, this shrubber is good for small plants, ground covers, and shrubs with thin stems and branches. I've used it on Azaleas, miniature Gardenias, English Ivy, and other assorted small stem shrubs. On a few of my shrubs, the stalk is a bit big for the tool I bought, so it gets stuck and you have to pull out the stem or branch. But applied correctly, it works well and holds a charge for longer than I expected.

good for branches up to 1/8" thick, not good on grass
It is just not good on grass even though photos on the box show use in
that situation -- doesn't slice but rather chomps through the area and
just will not cut through grass. So, the long handled attachment
accessory with wheels (for trimming and edging) is not useful. The
long handled attachment also is not balanced so even though you have
more reach for taller bushes or areas closer to the ground, you have
to torque both wrists to swing the trimmer around.

However on shrubbery, it shaves well. Think of how you use a hair
trimmer - that is how it trims bushes and shrubs.

It's lightweight and not intimidating as a gas powered model -- my
wife can use it without feeling scared.

Good for the Size
After having used my parents' 2 foot shrubber, and not knowing much about shrubbers, I purchased this one thinking a rechargeable one would beat their plug-in variety. While the cordlessness is a great feature and the thing has an impressive life, I was surprised by the size of this thing. I guess I should've paid more attention to the 6-inch blade description rather than the rechargeable feature. It works great for small shrubs here and there, but for a 7 foot tall bush in the back yard, it is simply adequate. So just be sure you buy the right sized blade. Otherwise, I highly recommend this.

Lovely little machine
I admit that I don't generally like things with large whirring, sharp blades, but this little guy is light weight, handles well to cut only those plants that need cutting, unlike my very indescriminate weed whacker.

I didn't find the switch too stiff. You do have to put an effort into keeping it down, but that is a safety feature - if you slip, or your hand slips, you won't end up with 'shubbered' fingers. If it is too stiff when you get it, just open up the button and either shorten or compress the spring, but don't tape it down!

For two blissful nights I went out and cut down spent poppies, delphiniums and penstemon(with big tough stems), it cut like a hot knife through butter, to the extent that even my sister (who doesn't venture into the garden normally), wanted a go. The battery lasted considerably longer than half an hour.

Unfortunately, my puppy ate the recharger (the puppy is fine, he discovered the delicacy on the floor where I'd dropped it on the way to the tool cupboard)...I am trying to get a replacement but the customer service at Black and Decker is leaving a bit to be desired (the online parts ordering decided my credit card does not exist and keeps asking me to re enter it), so that's where it loses a star! ...

excellent addition to DS600 shrubber
We bought this when we bought the DS600K Shrubber because we intended to use the shrubber to reach very high growth on two of our bushes. It is very well designed in that you plug the shrubber into the bottom of the handle and then have power control available at the grip of the extender's handle. Also you can rotate the shrubber in a 45 degree angle at the base of the extender to better position it for reaching up for trimming. The missing star is because the weight of the shrubber on the end of the extender feels heavy and unbalanced.

Longevity of tool
The tool is manufactured to be replaced when the battery has to be replaced. On initial inquiries,local home centers will not repair it unless bought at their stores and under warranty. B&D charges $23 for the replacement battery and this does not include labor. If you understand its cheaper to get a new one instead of replacing the battery, then it's a nice tool.

The Milwaukee Body Grip orbital jig saw is a workhorse worthy of any workshop. Powered by a 6.2 amp motor, the saw muscles its way through a wide variety of materials with ease. The Body Grip features a 1-inch blade stroke with four-position orbital action for aggressive cutting. Electronic speed control helps the saw maintain its blade speed throughout a cut, with eight overall settings and a range of 500 to 3,000 spm. Even with all that power, the Body Grip is a surprisingly agile performer. An antisplinter device helps to stabilize the work piece and reduce splintering. A shoe cover protects the work piece surface from marring and scratching. A vibration-dampening mechanism permits smoother overall operation, though the saw still does run louder than its less powerful peers. Angle cuts and bevels are quick and easy, too, thanks to a keyless 45-degree shoe angle adjustment. A transparent blade cover improves dust extraction. Debris is blown ahead of the cut for improved visibility, and a built-in manifold is provided for vacuum-assisted dust collection. --Carl Thress ... Read more

Things to consider
I recently purchased this jigsaw and have used it a few times. Here are a few things I've noticed in this short time:
On the plus side, I like how it fits in my hand, barrel grip saws just feel better to me than top grips. It's got plenty of power, and with the variable speed, you can dial in whatever you need. It cuts beautifully and leaves smooth edges, but that could also be that I only use Bosch blades.
While it is a bit heavy, I find this to be advantageous to staying online and reduce vibration. The plastic foot cover allows to to glide nicely as well.

On the minus side, there are a couple of safety concerns I'd like to mention. First and foremost, the switch to turn it on, while somewhat protected by the upper knob, pushes in for ON and pulls out for OFF. This occurs to me as easy to accidentally bump on and a little trickier to turn off quickly if needed. I'm a bit surprised that is configured this way as every other tool I've seen is designed to turn off if bumped, not on.
Second is in regards to the quick change blade system. While certainly a super idea and WAAAY faster than any other jigsaw I've used, I've noticed that after only being used a few times, the blade retaining sleeve, which should rotate back 90 degrees to completely lock the blade in, only rotates back about 20 degrees barely doing the job. As I previously mentioned, I use Bosch blades which are a bit thicker than the Milwaukee ones, but even with those it only closes about 40 degrees now. I've blown it out with compressed air in case there was sawdust in there, but that had no effect.

Against my better judgement(needed to finish the project that day), I've used it in this condition and haven't had any problems though I plan on contacting Milwaukee about this.

The last thing on the minus side is that the bevel adjuster lever is really easy to bump loose and thus inadvertantly slanting the blade over. Alas, I know this from experience. Now that I'm aware that this can happen, I'll have to pay more attention to that setting.

All that being said, I really do like this saw. It's SOOOO much nicer than my DeWalt cordless jigsaw. Once the blade retention sleeve issue is worked out I'll feel fully confident and won't have any worries, but I'll always keep an eye on the ON switch and bevel adjust lever from now on!

Loud and powerful!
Being a big Milwaukee fan I was disappointed to send this one back. It's a good saw but Milwaukee could have done a better job refining this tool. First of all, the plastic barrel grip housing was rather slippery to grasp and the power switch takes some effort to reach. I guess they tried to make this saw ambidextrous for all to use comfortably. If this was the case, a spring loaded safety switch would have been nice for those unexpected emergencies. The plastic shoe bevel lever scraped my fingers each time I picked up this tool. Sufficient space should have been provided between the lever and the housing or the lever could have been shortened. However, the tool-less bevel adjustment did work well. The ninety and forty-five degree detents were right on with the blade.

What this saw doesn't lack is power...and lots of it!!! Unfortunately, along with good power the saw emits an unbearable loud high pitch whine that takes getting use to. At low speeds, noise and vibration was minimal but highly noticeable as I bumped up the dial. As a compromise, for most woodworkers we normally don't operate at peak level anyway.

This unit did come with a big sturdy plastic case with metal latches, the best I have seen since most manufacturers converted over from metal to cheap plastic. Lots of room for storage too.

All and all, with the minor shortcomings this is a good saw. If you want lots of power but don't mind the noise this is the saw for you!...

Another Excellent Tool from Milwaukee
I was going to purchase the Bosch A584AVSK, but didn't like the allen wrench on the handle. ... I'm a weekend carpenter, but I learned to buy quality tools.

This is an excellent designed tool, although heavy compared to others. The barrel design gives you total control with easy thumb action for the power switch. The speed control is in the rear, by the cord, so it's not in the way. At full power, it's noisy, but I've been using half to 2/3 power, 5-6. The base tilt laver swings and has a pivot/slide/lock mechanism for 0 and 45 degree cuts. I comes with a large case with additional storage for other items.

You can't go wrong with this. ... Read more

Great product.
This is almost identical to an associates Lecia Disto Classic, same case, same screen, all the same functions including the pathgarus (sp) function. The only differance is this does not have the built in scope. For $200 less than he paid for his Classic I can live without the scope. The PLS-1 from pacific laser systems has the built in scope for just a little bit more through some other companies.

It's good to have a backup
I purchased the Kreg Pro Pack unit, that comes with this bit. My feeling is that since it is the only one, if for any reason I am in the middle of a project and the tip breaks, or I have any other problem with it, I don't want to be left standing while I wait for another one. So I bought it as a backup.
This bit does a great job, and the Kreg pocket hole systems won top of class award in every category in a recent run off by one of the top woodworking magazines. They won in every size, and every model from the mini on through to the professional bench top.
I don't really anticipate having a problem with the drill bit, but when doing this for a living, you need a parachute, in the event the unusual happens. This bit is built strong, and is rather large, so breakage is not likely, but the tip that protrudes on the end is a lot smaller, and that could possibly break. Additionally, if you are pocket holing all day, the bit could dull, and that would requires a replacement.
Overall highly recommended.

Porter-Cable gets into the deck and drywall businesses in a big way with this 6.8 amp screwdriver. Backed by 100-percent ball-bearing construction, this screwdriver boasts an aggressive "quiet" clutch that sets screws accurately and quickly in wood or metal studs. The reversible, variable-speed motor offers 0 to 2,500 rpm, and the nosepiece snaps on and off and features "set and forget" depth memory, letting you quickly dial in your countersink and not worry about it again. The driver feels right in the hand, too, with good balance, a soft grip, and a nicely integrated groove for your thumb and forefinger, making it very comfortable to operate with your hand directly behind the bit. A handy adjustable belt clip mounts to either side, which accommodates righties and lefties, and lets you quickly hook the tool to your belt when it's not in use, a more comfortable arrangement compared to the top-mounted clips you'll find on other brands. The screwdriver is built to last, too, with a strong, lightweight magnesium bearing plate, steel gears, a tough cast-aluminum gear housing, and a dust-sealed switch. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

Anything you set out to accomplish with this baby is a zip. The 2500 rpms are more than enough to drive screws up to 3 inches with no prob into rafters, decking, and drywall. The depth setter is accurate, and allows for proper penetration into drywall. Grip provides comfort, and the belt clip seems durable, and hasn't broke yet, (as it has on my Dewalt). I always reach for this one... get it?
