Black & Decker AAW100 8-Inch Auto Wrench Adjusting Wrench
This is the best new tool to come along in twenty years. What a great idea and excellent implementation of it. This is the coolest crescent wrench I have ever seen. It makes it so easy to work on projects where you have different size nuts to tighten and especially when working where space is limited. The electric adjustment on the wrench is amazingly quick. I mean you hit the switch and it's snug up against the nut ready for you to start turning.

Hitachi NT50AE2 3/4-Inch to 2-Inch by 18 Gauge Brad Nailer
The new selective actuation switch lets the user easily select bump fire actuation for quick brad nailing when precise placement is not required. By simply flipping the switch, the user transitions to sequential fire for specific nail placement. At only 2.2 pounds this nailer is well-balanced and lightweight to make finish work a breeze. The elastomer grip adds comfort while preventing slippage. The visual nail reload indicator located on the magazine alerts the user when nail quantities are low so that blank drives are avoided. The NT50AE2 features a tool-less, easy-to-clear nose for quick and simple nail extraction should a nail jam during use.

Hitachi NV83A2 3-1/4-inch Coil Framing Nailer
I am a contractor an build a lot of decks this gun is a life saver galv. coil nails are a little high priced but worth every penny, it seems like with stick nailers you are always out of nails but with this gun you can shoot all day, only problem is you get a little more double fireing with this gun, overall very happy. you need this gun

Hitachi NR90AD Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer
I purchased two of these new models based on the experience that I have had with the NR83aa2's. Keep in mind that I run a framing crew and we rely on these guns all day every day. The gun shoots excellent. However, there is a piece of metal that acts as a lever for the retaining clip. On both of my newly purchased NR90ad's this piece of metal broke within the first three weeks and three weeks later I am still waiting for the parts. Long story short, that one one particular part that was poorly designed has turned what would normally be a great gun into a worthless piece of metal until those parts come in. 2-15-2005

Milwaukee 7100-20 Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer
I am a General Contractor and I have used a few different framing nailers over the last year. I have tried Porter Cable (I hope you like nail jams), Hitachi (double fire king, but never dies), and Max (could get a really good gun or a piece of jamming crap, just depends on which box comes off the shelf). I purchased the Milwaukee due to raving reviews, but when I received it I saw that it was made in Taiwan. Damn. Unless you want a Bostich (made by Stanley), it looks like you're out of luck when it comes to finding a framing nailer made in America. I almost returned it for the familiar and job site dominant Hitachi, but I decided to keep it and I am very glad I did. The nailer is super light, very, very smooth, and I can adjust it to sink nails in sheathing without breaking the top ply, which is code

Porter-Cable FR350A Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer
Very Well Balanced Machine, little fatigue during the day. Great hands-free depth adjustment. Extremely easy to load, advance and clear. You can change from restrictive to sequential fire easily on the trigger.
My Hitachi can now be retired, I will not go back, this is my framing nailer of choice. As another reviewer seems to have found out, this is not an appearance nailer, for something like siding you may want to try the Porter-Cable RN175A Coil. I have had no problems sinking 16D's in even engineered lumber. For everyday use the 350A is highly recommended.

Reconditioned Wagner Power Products 0515000T Spray Tech 2,750 PSI Paint Crew Sprayer
The equipment looks like new. I had been using this for about a month to paint everything I can and the sprayer give a incredible finish. When I read the manual, it seems to me that the cleaning process will be real complex, but actually is very very easy.

Porter-Cable CFNBNS Three Nailer and Compressor Combo Kit
The 120-volt, 10-amp pump not only provides a continuous air supply for the nail and staple guns, but the portable 6-gallon air tank can supply up to 150 psi of air for other tools in your shop or garage. Not only do you get an oil-free, maintenance-free pump with 40 feet of quality 1/4–inch air hose and 2 couplers, but the three nailer stapler guns are like having an extra set of hands in the shop. No longer do you have to clamp two pieces of wood together so that you can hold a nail or brad in one hand and a hammer in the other. In the workshop you can use the brad nailer for fastening smaller wood projects or the ¼-inch stapler for installing items such as screen wire, low voltage wiring, upholstery, furniture coverings, or any project where a staple can be used in place of a screw. Switch to the 16-gauge finish nail gun and use ¾-inch nails for casing and moldings, or 2-1/2-inch nails for securing baseboard, moldings, door frames, jambs, etc

AO Safety 95090 Quicklatch PRO Dual Cartridge Respirator
You can get a clean seal with this respirator really easily, but not with a beard, not even a goatee, not even once it's tightly trimmed. I tried it all. For me the will to fix our bathroon ceiling trumped the hairs dancing around my mouth and chin, at least temporarily, thus I shaved. Post shave this thing is airtight and I am comfortable. The venerated goatee will grow back, lungs don't. The canisters cover most nasty stuff you may encounter, up to and including mold and asbestos. Be smart: wear a long sleeve shirt, gloves, airtight eyewear, and earplugs.

Dewalt DPG82-11C Concealer Clear Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety Goggle
love these goggles. Not only do they protect your eyes from flying objects but also from the dust produced by woodworking machines. They are pretty comfortable to wear and are very well made.
Mine were light gray instead of the yellow shown in the picture.

Grex P635 23 Gauge 1-3/8-Inch Length Headless Pinner
I am simply amazed by this pinner. I have used many others with less features and the Grex p635 is a hands down winner. Few manufacturers offer a 23ga pinner as versatile as the P635 with the capability to shoot 3/8 to 1 3/8 pins and self adjusting to boot. No splitting of crown or delicate hardwood mouldings even within 1/8" of an end mitre. I have pretty much retired my 18ga brad nailer for high end trim in leu of the Grex P635. I am impressed with the holding power of the 23 ga pins in hardwood crown on cabinet installs. As a professional wood worker I highly recommend this pinner.

DEWALT DC022 Combination 38 Watt Fluorescent Worklight and 7.2-Volt to 18 Volt Dual Port Pod Style Battery Charger with GFCI Protection
This thing is great. I had never even seen it before. Then Dewalt sent me an email ad. I'm a trim carpenter and have all 18volt Dewalt tools. I work in alot of places that dont have lights and maybe a single outlet. This is the perfect answer, especially working late in winter. The light is bright and can be angled in many positions. Light can run off battery or outlet, charges my batteries quickly. I couldnt be happier with it.

Porter-Cable PIN100 1/2-Inch to 1-Inch 23-Gauge Pin Nailer
The PIN100 will shoot all 23 gauge pin nails from 1/2-inch to 1-inch in length and features an automatic magazine adjustment to accommodate the length of pin, a feature you won't find on any other pinner, all others have a manual adjustment that takes time to adjust each time you use a different length of pin. The bottom load magazine holds 170 pins and provides a visual signal when the magazine is getting low on pins
