The thing was broke within 30 minutes and feels like it was made with $2 of materials.

Black & Decker SZ360 3.6-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Power Scissors

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Power and Hand Tools
from: Black & Decker


I love these! I have arthritis in my hands, so using regular scissors can be difficult, even on paper. These things zip through everything. I use them to cut a lot of cardboard to use when I ship stuff in envelopes, to keep them rigid and to protect the items inside. I tried them on fabric, but they didn't work well for that, but I understand there's another model with a blade especially for fabric, so I'll be looking for that one soon.

The charge lasts for a long time and this is easy to hold, even in my small, weak hands. I'm buying some for my mom this Christmas, since she has gimpy hands, too.

STRAIT-LINE 6041400CD Rolling Tape 300

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Power and Hand Tools
from: American Tool Companies


This is not a precision instrument. Use it for rough estimates only. It is good for what all of the other 9 reviewers used it for, however, it can be off as much as a half inch. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my unit, other than I get varying measurements. If the measurements were at least consistent, then it wouldn't matter what the numbers were, but I measured the same wall 6 times and got 6 different results. Like I said, if you are just hanging shelves or pictures and want them evenly spaced, or even if you want to find the center of the ceiling, this unit will work as long as you don't mind that it will be a little off. If you are making the shelves yourself, use a tape measurer.

Apollo Precision Tools DT0773N1 - 135 Piece Household Pink Tool Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Power and Hand Tools
from: Apollo


I love my new tool kit! I mainly bought it for the pink drill, hammer, box cutter, scissors, wrench....well just about everything. I used the drill to screw a nail in the wall to hang a picture and it did the job well, and it's light weight (great for over head positions). But don't expect it to work like a Dewalt hammer drill. It's only 4.8 volts with little torque! I use the box cutter all the time because I'm constanly cutting up boxes from Amazon orders. The little screw drivers came in handy too to replace the batteries on my car remote control. It also comes with a box of extra screws nails, ect. If you are a woman in construction, or a SERIOUS do it yourselfer, this is NOT the kit for you. You will not be satisfied. Dewalt has some nice ... Read More:

I usually keep the 6" in the dril, but when you have a tight space to work the shorter length bit can help save the day. ;-)

Kreg RAC Right Angle Clamp

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Power and Hand Tools
from: Kreg


This clamp works flawlessly every time. Conceptually, it's very simple. It replaces one of the flats on a normal Kreg clamp with a pin that fits in the pocket hole. Use the clamps in one or more pocket holes while you drive the screws into the others. If you need 100% square accuracy, you can hold a square in place against the joint while you drive the screw.

By the way, you can use these to clamp items that are not flush to one another, e.g., frame reveals, parts with differing thicknesses, and inset panels. Try THAT with a corner clamp!

To the reviewer that wondered about using pocket holes on the outside of items: In cabinet making, it's the INSIDE of the cabinet that's the concern. The ply or particleboard ... Read More:

Skil 2887-05 18-Volt Cordless 2-Speed 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver w/Bit Index, 2 Batteries, Charger, and Case

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Power and Hand Tools
from: Skil


O.K. The looks might not be to your taste (mine either) but for the bucks, this is a fine drill.

Although some others said that charge life could be better, it comes with 2 batteries.

Hey! If you can't finish the job with that much juice, its time to break out the corded drill.

Enjoy

It is o.k. but I would rather have and use my Leatherman Kick. It is just a little to small to do the jobs that I do with my Kick. Thanx Deacon
