Makita XCU03PT1 Chainsaw Review

/ 2 COMMENTS

Makita is one of my favorite companies when it’s about using reliable power tools. I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t favor Makita over other brands. Actually, I do, but there is a strong reason behind it. I have tried Porter Cable, Black & Decker and many other companies’ power tools, because I somehow believed the ‘cheap is always a good’ mantra.
I had my share of bad luck with other brands – so on and so forth. Eventually, it all comes down to unbeatable quality and long term performance.

DEWALT DCCS670X1 Chainsaw Review

By Joeri

Chainsaws are not my forte, but once I transitioned from circular saws to these sick puppers, I realized what I was missing out on. The tooth to tooth shout out is more than enough to get anyone’s adrenaline pumping – i.e. if you happen to be a guy who’s main turn on is power tools. I am talking about robust chainsaws with the ability of chiseling through any range of material without any hassle or whatsoever.

The Complete Circular Saw Buying Guide

By Joeri

I am sure that by now, you know what a circular saw is. It is a common cutting tool that was designed to split different materials such as; wood, steel, masonry etc. with precision and accuracy. The problem is that when people hear about circular saws, they associate the terminology with a toothed blade, which is only made to serve the needs of wood workers. As ironic as the concept may sound, the modern circular saw is a beast of a tool. Ever since their inception, circular saws can chew a lot more than what they were originally made for.

By Joeri

From an old contender such as SKIL, one expects a fine line of power tools for both commercial and private use. Especially, when the company is owned by none other than Bosch, SKIL comes with an impeccable reputation. With the release of the SKIL 5280-01 15 Amp circular saw, we are looking at a highly affordable mid-range product, which can carve through a variety of materials.

Black & Decker BDECS300C Circular Saw Review

By Joeri

Every now and then, reputable companies which are known for a specific niche, release something that’s completely opposite of their respective genre. Today, it had to be Black & Decker. I am a huge fan of their coffee maker; a remarkable product that’s been working fine for over two years now. However, when it comes to their other fancy products, the verdict could be a little different. Read on and find out why…

Bosch CSW41 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw Review

By Joeri

With its contemporary style and state-of-the-art features, the Bosch CSW41 7-1/4-Inch Worm Drive Circular Saw kicks some serious domestic booty for wood workers and on-site professionals. This bad boy harbors no grudges against bodacious planks ranging over different dimensions and material types. Obviously, Bosch is an old contender in the industry, so people usually don’t regret buying the company’s products on a whim. I have seen very few circular saws that are truly dependable, but the Bosch CSW41 is definitely one of them.

Ryobi P506 One+ Circular Saw Review

By Joeri

When it comes to cordless circular saws, Ryobi is a name less heard of. The fact that they have spent a long time in analyzing power tool market trends, the manufacturers were leaning on prototypes before releasing their own version of an “ideal” circular saw. Needless to say, Ryobi still has a lot of ground to cover, despite of the release of the Ryobi P506 One+ Lithium Ion 18V 5 ½ model.

Porter Cable PCC660B Circular Saw Review

By Joeri

Porter Cable has somehow managed to maintain a long-standing relationship with power tool owners for several years now. With the release of the PCC660B 20V Max Lithium Bare 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw in 2014, the company wanted to reach out to entry-level woodworkers who are just trying to get through the thick of it. It is hard for me to talk about Porter Cable PCC660B 20V cordless saw in a positive way, but I am “going” to try and shove this model down your throat. Nah, I was just kidding. Take this review with a grain of salt, but some of the information is vital regardless.

Makita XSS02Z 18V LXT Circular Saw Review

By Joeri

Makita XSS027Z 18V LXT Circular Saw is right after my own heart; straight to the point, and it can carve a piece of wood with pristine precision. However, it isn’t the best skill saw in the world. There are many models far superior to this one. But as long as you are sticking to straight cuts and simple DIY woodworking projects; you got yourself a fine power tool.

Milwaukee 2630-20 Circular Saw Review

By Joeri

Who doesn’t like a trusty ol’ circular saw; especially when it’s introduced by the hardy men n’ women of Milwaukee? Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of carving through a few planks with the all-new Bare-Tool Milwaukee 18 Volt Circular Saw. I can certainly say that you can rely on this skillsaw to see your way through a sticky situation. However, this model wasn’t made for the faint of heart. Read on and find out why…
