Porter Cable, Delta, DeWalt - Oh Boy!
Should be interesting. Up until now, Norm wouldn't answer any questions
regarding anything but Delta. Now he should love everyone. (By the way - check your computer clock setting. Either you are set one month late or Rod Serling is looking over my shoulder.)

If you need a faucet, buy a Kohler. No compromises there, yet.

Not the top of the line, but still a few bucks. About a day after installing it, SWMBO says, "The handle on that new faucet is loose." I say, "Hmmm, must need tightening." Pop the cap and sure enough the screw is loose. Tighten it up and go back to beer drinking. Coupla days later, whole thing repeats. Time to investigate. It seems that the handle is held tight by a single sheet-metal screw driven into the *plastic* end of the cartridge. No way in hell is this going to hold up against the force applied by a six-inch lever. So I go to P-P's web site and send them a comment wherein I state that as an engineer, albeit in electronics, I recognize bad design when I see it. I suggest that they should have at the least used a metal insert in the plastic and a machine screw. Never get a reply until one day a couple of weeks later when the UPS man arrives. I can't recall ordering any tools that week, so I'm mystified until I open the package and there is a whole brand new faucet assembly. I say to myself, "Self, this company is pretty cool, they took my suggestion and fixed the problem and sent me a replacement." This idea was dashed when I decided to actually look at the fix before crawling inside the sink cabinet to R & R the faucet. You guessed it... still a sheet metal screw into plastic. The "old" new faucet is still place waiting the time I do the remodel and put in a Kohler. |

I must admit, I'm surprised at the biscuit joiner - he usually uses Lamello.
As for the right angle drill - there's not many in the market - heck, even I have a Dewalt there. But I would lay bets in the next season of NYW, we're going to see Norm using Dewalt circular saws, jig saws, drills, and other "common" tools.
