Cheap tools??
Found a general-merchandise site with some tools that look like a pretty good deal, but I don't recognize the brands -- and some of the brands aren't mentioned at all. I would be interested to know if any of you woodworkers might recognize any of these, and share your opinions... 1) 2 gal. air compressor. No brand name given. $52 http://www.suzyqshop.com/product.asp?0=51&1=53&3=2826 Is 2 gal/4cfm enough for anything useful? 2) Air Brad Nailer by American Tool Group. $26. Don't recognize "American Tool Group". http://www.suzyqshop.com/product.asp?0=51&1=53&3=2823 Also, they had an air hose for $8 (good price or not?) 3) Benchtop drill press. No brand name given. $40 http://www.suzyqshop.com/product.asp?0=51&1=52&3=1900 I could definitely use a drill press. I hestitate to plunk down $40 for something from an unknown manufacturer that might be junk, but I'm still tempted, because the local borg's similar-sized DP is about twice the price. That's about it for their tool selection. They had some hand tools (screwdriver sets, drill bits) pretty cheap, but I don't need any cheap screwdrivers just now, and I have seen forstner bits cheaper elsewhere. The site is mainly oriented towards toys, jewelry, and knives. -- Howard |
