Stanley 77-154 SP5 FatMax Five Beam Laser Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these over three years ago to establish a square corner for a poured concrete wall down in a trench. It worked very well. Since that time, I have found many other uses for the 5-way laser. Mostly, I use it for building layout by checking plumb, level, and square all at the same time. In a pole barn, you can simply place the level on the ground next to a post, climb up to the top with your tape measure and measure over to the laser beam. You will never again worry about a conventional plumb bob blowing in the wind. This 5-way laser is best suited for medium to big projects - especially outdoors - not for indoor picture hanging. It does not project a line on the wall. It projects a precision dot in five directions: Up, Down, Left, Right and Forward - all 90 degrees apart. (I own a picture hanging style level laser for things such as indoor work on a wall and I also own a Spectra Precision dual slope laser with a 3000' range (for those really big jobs)). All things considered, this Stanley Fat Max 5-way laser is one of my favorite tools for building layout, concrete form layout, and quality control. An amazing tool that fits in the palm of your hand.

The Stanley SP5 5-beam self-leveling laser is the 21st Century's must-have productivity and accuracy enhancing, leveling, and alignment tool. The MP5 offers five independently self-leveled 650nm highly focused laser beams, providing accuracy of 1/4-inch at 100 feet. With this versatile device, you can plumb level and square instantly with no bubbles to level -- just turn it on and go to work. The SP5's unique self-leveling and dampening system is the quickest to settle the beam, and there are no beam offsets -- because they all come from the same axial plane. This reduces errors and set-up time all around. The flashing out-of-level sensor eliminates rechecks and costly mistakes, and the on/off switch locks the lasers in place when they're not in use.
This kit is ideal for a wide variety of construction professionals and do-it-yourselfers, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters, builders, remodelers, machinery installers, interior decorators, dyers, and more. The SP5 includes the universal mount with a magnetic base and mounting strap.

Wooster Brush R017-9 Sherlock Roller Frame, 9-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been through the utter frustration of having roller covers slip and having to reposition them before every re-load. So I got this Wooster Sherlock roller frame and... it REALLY WORKS!!! I can go as fast as I want for as long as I want on the wall, in any direction and the roller cover just stays on, like it should. This is a truly operational painting tool and has saved me immense amounts of time and temper.
Getting the roller cover off for cleaning, well, with me, that has always been a problem but no more, just a light tap on the sink and it's done. Honestly this is the ideal scene for a roller frame.

Stanley 77-188 S2 Laser Level Square Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PROS: I have used this several times to hang up painting, pictures, wall shelves, etc. The levels and 90 degree lasers really help line things up. It has a sort of protractor on it for angles. There is a model above this with more accurate lasers but it cost significantly more. I think this one should take care of most jobs around the house.
CONS: I kinda don't like the sticky putty stuff (to hold up device on its own on the wall). They work, but I don't know for how long. I am assuming at some point, they will lose their stickiness. Without the putty, it becomes a 2-person job for long distances. But that's not that big of a deal. It would be nice if it was a little smaller, but once again not a deal breaker.

FastCap Flatback Story Pole 16 Foot Tape Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since I am a woodworker and do most of my carpentry work in a workshop, I have never been satisfied with the results I get from a standard tape measure. The crved blade and loose end hook add up to a lot of potential for inaccuracy. This fast cap tape is a FANTASTIC solution. The flat tape means that I no longer have to wrestle with the tape to get it to lay flat so I can mark a measurement. It can even be wrapped around a round object to accurately give a cirumference measurement. I also appreciate the easy to read and accurate scale on the tape. The hook on the end of the tape has 4 rivets and does not have the any of the slop found on construction tapes. The plastic case has an over-molded rubber coating that is pleasing to the hands. If that were all there was to this tape, it would be enough to justify its cost, but there is more. The built in pencil sharpener is really handy and the small white space on the side of the case is an ingenious place to jot down measurememnts before you forget them.
All in all, its hard to imagine a tape measure that changes the way you work but this thing has been a godsend in my shop. At this price I highly recommend it to all woodworkers.

ZipWall ZipPole ZP2 Low Cost Spring Loaded Pole, 2-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We couldn't believe how easy the ZipPole barrier was to set up. Went up in minutes and worked perfectly. My customers loved it because it made a great impression about how much we care about their business and it also has helped to get us other jobs. The ZipPole is perfect for my jobs that have ceiling heights up to 10' tall. I got the ZP 4-pack for $169, which is HALF THE PRICE of the original ZipWall 4-Pack Plus system. The good news is my ZipPoles work great with my other ZipWall gear (12' aluminum poles, 20' poles, foam rails, etc.) I just used everything on a house with a cathedral ceiling. Started with ZipPoles at the low end added the 12 footers and raised the barrier to the peak with my 20 footer. And it was easy.
ZipWall is great and it gets us fully set for EPA's new April regulations in plenty of time.

In fact, this ZipPole product has all the patented features of the original award-winning ZipWall Spring-Loaded Poles.
Winner of the Remodeling Show 2009 Best New Product Award The easy-to-use, no-damage-installation ZipWall systems eliminate the need for tape, staples, glue, furring strips, and ladders when creating a temporary dust barrier. Winner of the Remodeling Show 2009 Best New Product Award, ZipWall systems save time and prevent costly repairs to finished surfaces.
Note: This package includes two 10-foot ZipPole Spring-Loaded Poles, two heads, two plates, two tethers, and two GripDisks. These components are also included as part of the ZipWall ZP4 4-Pack with Carry Bag, an ideal low-cost barrier system convenience pack that can be used to create barriers up to 30 feet long.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Construction ProjectsZipPole products are ideal for a wide variety of residential, commercial, and DIY projects that create dust or other potentially harmful debris. These projects include demolition, drywall work, plaster repairs, insulating walls and ceilings, sanding and painting, chimney work, kitchen and bath renovation, and more.
Easy to Use, No-Damage InstallationZipWall systems remove the need for tape, staples, glue, furring strips, and ladders when creating a temporary dust barrier. This saves time and it eliminates costly repairs to finished surfaces.
Sheeting is securely attached at the top of the pole by sandwiching the material between the interlocking head and plate. The twist-locking telescoping pole lets you raise the sheeting quickly and easily without a ladder.
All ZipWall poles feature Spring Loading at the top. This lets you lift the pole to tuck the sheeting underneath for easy setup. It also maintains constant tension on the pole, compensating for movement at the ceiling or at the floor if the poles are bumped or if there is a lot of air movement at the jobsite.
The ZipPole barrier system is locked in place with non-skid, non-marking pads at the top of each pole. These pads grab the ceiling like magic. The non-skid GripDisk keeps the foot of each pole and the sheeting locked in position at the floor.
Ideal for Dropped Ceilings or When Running Negative/Positive Air PressureThe ZipPole product is ideal for dropped ceilings. Just place the poles so the tops push against the grid. Then, follow the grid until you have created a barrier of desired size. Spring Loading keeps the barrier in position by automatically adjusting the pole height to compensate for any movement of the grid during setup.
If you are renovating a space where negative or positive air pressure is required, the non-skid pad at the top of the pole, the non-skid GripDisk under the foot of the pole, and internal Spring Loading will keep the ZipWall dust barrier securely in position.
Easy, One-Person Installation in Just MinutesUsing old-fashioned methods, a barrier 30 feet long and 10 feet high would take between one and three hours to erect. With the ZipPole Spring-Loaded Poles, the same barrier can be installed in a matter of minutes.
Unlike barriers made with tape, staples, glue, or furring strips, this dust barrier system won't come down unexpectedly or cause damage to finished surfaces. Best of all, you can use a ZipWall dust barrier system again and again.
Works with Other ZipWall ProductsOnce you use the ZipPole product to create a dust barrier to contain your work site, chances are you will want to add to your system so you can tackle larger jobs. Consider the ZP4 4-Pack with four 10-foot ZipPole Spring-Loaded Poles, two Standard Zippers, and a Carry Bag, which can hold up to 12 poles.
The ZipPole product can be used with ZipWall Tight Seal accessories, including Foam Rails, to create a continuous seal along the ceiling. It can also be used with the ZipWall Side Pack to create a continuous seal along the walls. Doorways can easily be created with ZipWall Heavy-Duty or Standard Zippers.
If you are working with ceilings over 10 feet tall, you can purchase ZipWall's original 12-foot Spring-Loaded Poles in the handy SLP2 2-Pack, SLP6 6-Pack, or 4-Pack Plus Convenience Pack. For cathedral or vaulted ceilings, or for ceiling heights over 12 feet, you can also purchase ZipWall's 20-foot KT-20 Spring-Loaded Poles.
Protect Children and Property from Lead-Dust ContaminationProviding a dust-tight seal around worksites is very important, especially when doing demolition or when renovating an older home that has lead paint. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates that dust be contained when as little as six square feet of lead paint is disturbed in homes or facilities where there are children under six years old.
Go to www.epa.gov/lead to get details on the latest lead-safety rules and lead-safe work practices. New EPA laws are an important reason to keep a ZipWall Barrier System on hand.

Greenworks 20062 10-Inch 7 amp Electric 2-in-1 Tree Pruner/Chain Saw with 8-Foot Pole Extension Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this to trim tree branches, hardwoods, Mesquite, Acacia etc.. The saw goes through these woods like its cutting butter.
This saw worked right out of the box, I only had to add chain oil(bought locally, not included).
Adding and removing the pole is a snap.
I wish the included scabbard was a brighter color, not black, and had a way to attach it to the saw.
So far I think its a good saw for the money.Greenworks 20062 10-Inch 7 amp Electric 2-in-1 Tree Pruner/Chain Saw with 8-Foot Pole Extension
Edited 1/6/11
I have to put the original review on hold. Today the saw quit running. I was using it off the pole. I checked and cleaned up everything still no go. After checking everything and blowing it out with air I tried again, all I got was a spark from the housing.
Edited 1/19/11
We contacted the company about the saw, We were told they would call back and give us a service center in our area. They did not call. I sent the saw back to Amazon. The reduction in stars is because of CS.
