Customer Review:

Poor workmanship in parts

Obvious low bidder type kit. Threads are poorly done and require lots of tape to seal. Most parts in the kit are not needed and the individual would be better served to buy what is really needed in an individual high quality part and not have a lot of left over parts of dubious quality.

Disappointing

Nice variety of accessories, but cheap metal, poor China construction. One of the connection pieces had a beyond obvious flaw from the factory. The first 3 threads were not alligned and a large notch went through them, making it basically unusable. The blow gun is too small, designed for a child maybe. The valves do not thread snug with the air hose, heavy tape needed to stop severe air leakage. Not what I would expect from Porter Cable.

Great starter kit

A good set of parts for assembling hoses to a compressor and performing basic functions. The pieces in the set are well constructed. Well worth the money.

For what its worth, I didn't have any problem with the shipping.

use it everyday

this is the only type of tape measure that i will buy. they just last longer than the rest.

Must Have for the Do-It-Yourselfer

You have to have a tape measure for do-it-yourself projects. I have three tape measures myself, including a Stanley. The belt clip is very handy, particularly when you are carrying lumber or are going up or down a ladder. The mylar coated blade helps keep the tape from rusting. A heat treated spring is a must for long life of any tape measure. I like the tape lock on this tape measure too. A tape measure I have from another company tends to allow the tape to move.

Stanley has become a well-known brand with quality products. I own several Stanley tools, including this tape measure. I recommend this one highly.

Stanley is the best!

I have been using Stanley products for years. Very dependable,long lasting and very useful around the house. I would never use anything but Stanley!

Customer Review:

Outstanding Tool.

One of the most usefull tools. You know, when you buy this, this and that only few things are realy used on a regular basis. If I would need to pick the first tree it would be jigsaw (Bosch), drill (Makita) and Swanson Speed Square.

SEVEN TOOLS IN ONE!

This works as a Tri Square, Miter Square, Protractor, Line Scriber, Saw Guide and Stair Guage! I guess the "seventh" tool job it performs as is a straight edge! It comes with a movable layout bar to fit out of square corners. The numbers are big enough to read and just an all around good product. It comes with a handy pocket sized booklet with useful information and INSTRUCTIONS for use.

Excellent!

The originators of the Speed Square still make the best ...... and the 12" is the best of the best. Solid construction and easily read markings that won't wear off like paint set it apart from other brands.

Customer Review:

black and decker cordless hedge trimmer

The Black and Decker NHT518, 18 volt, Cordless Hedge Trimmer has met all my expectations. I was able to complete all my trimming in about one-third the time I spent with a corded trimmer. It did a wonderful job, and was powerful enough that it never jammed. Not having to lug around the cord, and fight to keep it plugged into the unit, saved so much time. With no cord, the unit is very, very maneuverable. Also, I will save money each year on not replacing sliced cords. In short, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Hedge Trimmer

Don't have a hedge at all. Using the trimmer for attacking tall
weeds in the garden and the trimmer does a great job of it without the noise and smell of a gasoline powered trimmer.

Another good B&D cordless tool

The trimmer is well designed, light weight, and easy to use. It can be used at different angles and cuts the size branches promised.
