My experience, especially with impact guns has been quite the opposite. When my Harbor Freight cheapie just makes noise, my Craftsman (made by Chicago Pneumatic, I think) removes the nut. And there a

15K watts should be way more than they need to run the furnace, fridge and microwave. Saying "15,000 watts at 100 amps" doesn't really make sense, but I'll spare you the Watts = Volts x Amps lecture.

One thing I've come across lately is a circular saw blade called the Morse "metal devil". It cuts metal like it's wood. It doesn't grind it, it actually makes chips. I just recently bought one, and I

They are truly awesome devices. Once you see a demo of one, if you're a "tool guy" you'll want one bad. I do. A "typical" home garage/hobbyist model would be the Nu-Tecsys Pca20Ps available at www.ea

I don't have that exact one. I do have an older cheap air saw, and it's pretty useless. The stroke is very short. It usually just vibrates the entire item I'm cutting at an incredibly high rate. I've
