Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Eligible for Super Saver Shipping
from: Toro

January 01, 2007
All I can say is "WOW!" After reading about this blower/vacuum in Consumer Reports, and how well it worked, I decided to purchase it. I searched all over the internet, but found that Amazon's "amazing" price of just under $70 was unbeatable. That included free shipping. My blower/vac arrived the next day. Lucky me! Anyhow, It has PLENTY of power. Matter of fact, it has more power than the gas powered backpack blower I had, which pleasantly surprised me. I used the Toro to clean my gutters, and blow and vacuum my leaves, and it did all 3 jobs easily. Again, I'm "blown away" with the amount of power it has. The only "inconvenience" is having to pull an extension cord around with it, but you can solve that by buying the longest extension cord you ... Read More:

Peltor H10A Professional Noise Canceling Earmuff

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Eligible for Super Saver Shipping
from: AO Safety


The (passive) noise reduction works very well. [Noise Canceling usually means an electronic system, which this is NOT.] Wearing these, I can barely hear the lawn mower or circular saw; it is useful to be able to hear them just enough to know they are working correctly. With earbuds put on first, I can listen to my mp3 player/radio at normal volumes with full clarity.

They are a bit snug, as you would want to ensure good noise reduction; I have a fairly large head. I loosened them a bit by flexing the wires gently a few times. Too tight is better than too loose, because it's easier to loosen them.

The muffs are plastic. Wearing these in hot weather or doing sweaty work means some moisture will gather where the muff ... Read More:

Leatherman 934870 40 Bit Assortment with Nylon Sheath

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Eligible for Super Saver Shipping
from: Leatherman


I already owned a Leatherman tool so I know how handy they are...I put this one in my truck and have already used it once at the gas station to help out another customer. The tool is strong and compact... and with the bits there's not much you can't try to do. "Peace of Mind" for me in the event I need to "Magiver" something.!!

Kreg K3MS K3 Master Pocket Hole Jig System

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Eligible for Super Saver Shipping
from: Kreg


I have owned the original Kreg jig since the early 90's and have loved using this tool. I was very hesitant to upgrade because I did not feel the newer version offered enough to justify the additional cost. After reading some of the reviews and seeing this tool being used (at Kreg's website), I decided to make the purchase. This new version is easier to use and is much more versatile than Kreg's original jig.
After completing several projects with this jig, I would suggest adding a clamping table. I made my table using an old Formica top that was lying around my shop. I purchased clamps and tracks directly from Kreg. This addition has made this tool ever more easy and fool proof to use.

Fein 63502151020 1-1/8-Inch Universal E-Cut Blade, 3 Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Eligible for Super Saver Shipping
from: Fein


Fein 63502151020 1-1/8-Inch Universal E-Cut Blade, 3 Pack Blades cut wood ok,they do not cut nails like they advertise,and they are way to expensive. Had I known the blades cost this much,I would not have bought the Multi-Master from Fein. I would have given it a 4 star if the blades didnt cost so much and would cut nails,because in remodeling you are going to hit some nails. The tool does do a good job on some of the speciality tasks in remodeling. I installed a medicine cabinet in 5 minutes with the MM, have cut trim and made plunge cuts also. But the second time I went to use it I hit a 8 penny nail and ruined the blade , so I had to order these blades to be able to use my 430.00 MM from Fein. It works just dont hit any nails.

Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Eligible for Super Saver Shipping
from: Fein


Seems well-built. I've used the grout saw, the e-blade, the scraper and the segment blade. The e-blade and scraper were a little disappointing. The grout saw and segment blade worked great. I understand the sander works very well, too, but haven't tried that yet... The replacement blades seem a little over priced which is disappointing. I hope the tool pays for itself. Time will tell.

Toro Universal Leaf Collector with 8-Foot Hose #51500

The design team did not think this through. The hose continuously blows loose from the bag. A snap attachment on the inside of the bag would have solved this problem. Until I find away to rectify this flaw I will use the carry along bag that came with the blower. Right now it is useless.
