Home Improvement : Bostitch N62FNK-2 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer



The first time you pick up the Bostitch N62FNK-2, you might wonder if such a lightweight finish nailer (it weighs just 3.8 pounds, the lightest in its class) can really get the job done. But once you pull the trigger and feel the 400 in./lbs. of driving power at your fingertips, those doubts will disappear and you'll wonder how you ever did without it before. Rugged and sturdy enough for virtually any application, the N62FNK-2 delivers fast, clean, accurate results using finish nails from 1 to 2-1/2 inches in length. An oil-free engine means no unsightly stains on your work--a definite plus--and no need for messy lubrication, an even bigger positive. Tool-free maintenance and depth control only add to the allure. --Carl Thress

Home Improvement : Bessey SVH400XL SVH Flooring and Clamping System



Bessey SVH Clamping System,

April 7, 2000
Being a professional flooring installer, I have had the opportunity to try numerous laminate flooring clamps. The Bessey SVH Flooring and Clamping System is the only one on the market to have a strap length of 24'. Competitors' clamps are normally only 18'. The design of the clamp ensures that you will never chip or mar the flooring surface while providing more clamping pressure than you will ever need. The thumb screw on the front of the clamp virtually eliminates the need for spacers around the perimeter of the room. Overall,I highly recommend the Bessey SVH Flooring and Clamping System for both professionals and do it yourselfers.

Great, product, but don't run it out of nails,

February 18, 2006
By Steve Felker (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
So far, this has proven to be well worth every penny. It works flawlessly every time, with one exception: make sure you never try to fire the last nail. If it doesn't fall out, it will fire in an unexpected way. I wasn't paying attention to the nail stock, and it fired the last nail just under the finished face of the wood, ruining it. What a pain it was to have to dig out that piece of wood and replace it. I am much more careful now! The foot has a thick teflon (or similar material) layer attached so it never scratches the wood, and even the alignment blade seems to be pretty forgiving when you miss the edge and drag it over a bit of the surface of the wood.

Overall, this is a great product, and I would recommend it to anyone installing wood flooring, although I wish it came with a case...

Home Improvement : DEWALT D5115LG Heavy Duty Workbelt, Waist 36-Inch to 48-Inch



The toughest, most durable tool belts and bags for the job site. They were designed by contractors, professionals who know exactly what it takes to last and they're built by DeWalt. Guaranteed tough. The tool belts and bags are made from the best material available, ballistic nylon and top-grain leather. The heavy duty ballistic nylon is lightweight, abrasion resistant and moisture resistant, so it lasts up to twice as long as other woven materials. The top-grain leather is thick and durable without being stiff or hard, plus it is oil tanned, making it more comfortable while improving moisture resistance. Whatever abuse the job site throws at them, DeWalt can handle it. All tool belts and bags are reinforced with solid-steel rivets that are designed to withstand 200 pounds of force. This makes the rivets less likely to pull through or pop off. High stress areas are double stitched to make them stronger and the belt tunnels are reinforced so they won't tear. DeWalt tool bags come with heat-formed pockets that stay open and won't collapse. Dedicated tool storage means you can find the tools, quickly and easily, while the extra-large pockets provide maximum storage and easier access to your tools. One year limited warranty and 30 day no-risk trial.
