Dewalt Circular Saw, Sledgehammer, and Bernzomatic Torch Tool Review

This material is thicker, wider, and more difficult to handle and cut than standard lumber used to build houses. It’s used for jobs like supporting ships in ship yards and propping up gigantic pipes and valves in fabrication facilities. It’s the shoring material that’s used to stabilize the wall of excavations, usually around foundations but also pipe trenches. DeWalt took its 20-volt cordless circular saw and sent it to the gym. Now it can run on a standard 20-volt Max battery or the hulking dual-voltage 20/60 Flex Volt power pack. The latter enables a ridiculous amount of cuts on one charge or repeated cuts at its depth of 2-9⁄16 inches.

We take extensive measures to ensure all our products are made to the very highest standards and meet all relevant industry regulations. I’ve used this Bernzomatic MAP-Pro Torch kit on several projects, like my DIY Lawn Dominos, DIY Metal iPad Stand, Poolside Towel Rack, and Copper Spice Rack. If you want to learn how to weld, but you’re intimidated by it, using a torch like this one is the perfect stepping stone. This torch kit is incredibly simple to use for soldering, brazing, and heat-treating. The hose and slender body are easy to handle, while the adjustable swirl flame provides hot, efficient heat and fast soldering times.

SKIL lithium-ion batteries charge 0-25% in only 15 minutes to keep the job moving (based on 5.0Ah Battery). Plus, get dewalt drill smooth and accurate cuts with the included 24 Tooth 7-1/4 In. Transition to a cordless jobsite with the lightweight convenience and portability of this cordless circular saw. Plus, SKIL power and performance is backed by a 5-year warranty.

If cutting industrial material is your game, consider this Flex. Since Stanley Black & Decker (also the owner of DeWalt) bought the company in 2017, Craftsman tools have been improving. We’ve always liked the brand, and we were very pleased to find this saw carrying on a capable tradition of high-quality power tools. Next, we did some hairsplitting crosscuts, guiding each saw along a square held across the wood. If the saw held true along the cut, that told us that its shoe edge and blade are parallel.

Among the homeowner saws we tested, this one is about as close to pro-grade as you can get. And given what it costs and its price-performance ratio, it would be fitting for a contractor to keep this saw on the truck as a backup or a tool. It’s going to replace my full-size circ saw in my truck, since I don’t have a true need for something that large on electrical jobs. It’s definitely powerful enough for me to use on any job I currently need it for, and the compact size makes it a plus for stowing in my work truck.

Some irregular shaped or oversized items may include a special handling charge. The charge will show in the cart during the check-out process on any applicable products. Brushless motors — like those on some DEWALT cordless circular saws — add power while extending the life of the tool. Other features available from many brands include laser guides, dust blowers and electric brakes for added safety. This Kobalt multi-material cutter is the perfect addition to your tool cabinet.

They’re also employed in construction sites to make precise cuts on various materials like plywood or metal sheets. These saws are also handy for DIY enthusiasts who enjoy building their own furniture or completing home improvement projects. With their sharp blades and adjustable settings, skill saws make it easy to create straight and accurate cuts.
