by Lorenz Prem on 09-12-2013 6:36 am

While we do like to test the latest and greatesthere at Hingmy, we do understand that new is not always best. Truevalue is sometimes found in a prior generation. The DeWalt DCF610screwdriver, one of the best reviewed drivers we have seen, is onesuch tool. Let's take a look, if the DCF610 is still a good buyseveral years after its introduction.

I love looking at tool displays at the localhome centers. It's very interesting to see what the local retailersthink you should buy.

On my latest trip I ran into a large display of Skil iXO'sscrewdriver right at the entrance of a local Lowes. Since they seemto think I and everyone else needs to own an iXO, I picked one upto test in my shop. Let's take a look at how well the ads on thebox match the tool's performance.

Why does a Drill/Driver have a Clutch?
by Lorenz Prem on 08-15-2013 11:22 pm

The most complicated part of a drill/driver tounderstand is the clutch. Why is there an extra part on a tool thatcan only rotate in one of two directions? Let's take a look at whata clutch does and how to use it to produce better work.

What is a clutch and how does it work?

"The clutch of a drill/driver limits the torque output of thetool. This prevents over-driven fasteners, snapped off fastenerheads, and damage to the material being worked on."

by Lorenz Prem on 08-02-2013 2:35 am

The Bosch PS41 impact driver is a member of anew generation of tools: 12V tools that perform like the 18V toolsfrom only a few years back while being half the size. The bestimpact driver we have ever tested fits this description. Naturallywe had to take a look how Bosch's entry compares to that tool.

Sometimes it is hard to understand why a companyhas so many different impact drivers in their lineup. Are they allreally that different from each other? This week we are trying tofigure out where the PS21 fits into Bosch's cordless impact driverlineup. The driver's prominent clutch ring is a big hint at whatlies ahead. Let's take a look at what the PS21 can do in ourtests?

Porter Cable PCL180IDK-2 Cordless Impact Driver Review
by Lorenz Prem on 07-09-2013 3:21 pm

The Hingmy product engine has a habit ofhighlighting very interesting products within its many views. Oneof these is the Porter Cable PCL180ID cordless impact driver. Itcan be found near the top of the cordless driver speed and torquecharts. That would not be so remarkable, if the PCL180ID did notcome at a low price that does not match its performance numbers.Naturally we had to investigate. Let's take a look if the PCL180IDearned its place near the top of the charts.

by Lorenz Prem on 06-03-2013 4:59 pm

The Milwaukee 2450 impact driver found its wayinto our shop as part of a kit that included a far more interestingtool. It's specs are equally unimpressive. The dollar amount at thebottom is what made us take note.

The 2450 is a bargain price driver from one of the big four toolmanufacturers. Always the curious kind we had to figure out whatthat actually meant. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

We here at Hingmy are just as vulnerable togadgets and cool stuff as the next person. When something is shinyand new we want to have it in our shop. The Worx WX254L screwdriverwith its semi-automatic loader caught our attention for that verysame reason. While buying power tools from a TV infomercial isusually not a good idea, we made an exception for this one. Let'stake a look at what the Worx WX254L screwdriver can do in ourshop.

"Drill/driver OK, reciprocating and circular saws are junk. No torque, circular saw won't cut thru a 2x4, reciprocating won't cut a 4x4 without bogging."
"Indeed, this one is the best 12V driver. Get it. You will not be disappointed."
"I use this one for heavy work. It can do it all. None better."
"Love this Router"
"Great driver with only minor issues. App is limited. The last gen is almost as good, yet a lot cheaper."
"This saw replaced a Delta Unisaw in my shop. It's rock solid, powerful, and well made. Fence rivals Biesemeyer or Unifence. Worth the price, IMHO."
"Excellent performance but tough to use at high speed with soft wood, tends to drive too deep before impact kicks in."
"This is my only true drill. The key-less chuck works flawlessly as does the power/speed switch which is handy for drilling various density material."
"A quality sander that performs well day in and day out. Not the best dust bag, that's minor for me. Fits well in my hand and no fatigue with prolonged use."
"A good option for those looking for their first saw, or those looking to upgrade from a "portable" job site saw. Buy a decent blade and you'll be happy."
