Tool Accessory Reviews

Our power tool accessory reviews include products such as impact-rated bits, driver bits, saw blades, batteries & chargers, tool storage, and more. If you care about power tools, then the accessories are what make or break your daily use. Choose the right power tool accessories, and your tools tend to last longer, cut or drive faster, and increase in productivity. Our power tool accessory reviews compare the latest products across various categories. We eliminate outside variables to really hone in on the power tool accessory performance. That typically means we test accessories by placing them on identical tools. We use weights and testing rigs when possible to ensure cut and/or torque consistency. We do everything in our power to eliminate as much bias as possible. In the end, using the right accessories makes you more productive. Install a poorly-made bit or blade in a tool and it performs less efficiently. Use the right accessory, and your day will go more quickly.

DeWalt Solid Rock Carbide SDS Plus Bits Preview

by Clint DeBoer

DeWalt is constantly trying to improve speed and efficiency of drilling. While improving tools is one way to get the job done faster, improving the bits is also a winning combo. Now, DeWalt is adding the Solid Rock Carbide SDS Plus Bits to its expansive line of SDS Plus Bits. The Solid Rock Carbide bits are designed for mechanical contractors, electricians, plumbers, forming and tilt wall contractors and other maintenance and repair professionals. For durability and long life, these bits feature 2x more carbide than standard SDS Plus drill bits, which should decrease the downtime caused by flute or tip breakage.

Spyder Bore Blade Review

by Thomas Gaige

We applaud inventive ideas and progress and it is fun when we see new things. It is just that good ideas don’t always make for a great product. Take the case of the Spyder Products 2-in-1 Bore-Blade: it might have been better left as an idea, since we did not have good success with them on our simple project. For most professionals, when cutting wood, we use a wood blade. When cutting metal ,we use a metal blade. And if we are doing plunge cuts, there are specific blades available that do an excellent job at that as well. When you start combining too many different features into one product, this is where things can get tricky because something is going to suffer. We were excited to give the new Spyder Bore-Blade a try to see if it could do all that the company claimed.

Lenox Bi-Metal Utility Bit 5-pc Kit Review

by Clint DeBoer

We’re used to high quality wood bits, but the new Bi-Metal 5-piece kit from Lenox is something that tore into wood faster, with more certainty , and with greater precision than any spade bit or traditional drill bit we’d experienced. We broke out these bits on a rewiring job for an old 1925 Colonial 2-story home. As you can imagine, there were ample opportunities to try out several sizes of bi-metal bits, and we were looking for something that could handle the near-petrified wood that this house was constructed with. After several days of use, we were sold.

DeWalt DWX726 Rolling Miter Saw Stand Review

by Clint DeBoer

While the thought of a “portable” miter saw is appealing, carrying one around by hand is not my favorite past-time. I’d rather use a dedicated miter saw stand. We’ve used a bunch of these over the years, and when DeWalt announced it had put out a new gas-assisted model, the DWX726, we thought we’d give it a try to see how they might have improved upon what was already on the market. First and foremost, the job of a good miter saw stand is to support the saw, while also providing a consistent feed and support for the work material. There are two basic types of miter saw stands, the compact fixed stand (with or without roller feeds) and the heavier-duty rolling stand that is made to be a more permanent yet portable solution. DeWalt has both, but the new DWX726 promises to be both robust and highly portable.

Makita 192618-2 Dust Collecting Cutting Guard Preview

by Clint DeBoer

Concrete cutting is pretty straightforward, but concrete cutting with a tool that is lightweight and compact is tougher. Now, concrete cutting with a compact tool that accounts for excellent dust collection is a completely different matter. Makita worked on that this week when it released two new dust extraction solutions for concrete and masonry contractors. The new Dust Collecting Cutting Guard (model 192618-2) works with Makita’s 4-1/2″ and 5-inch Grinders. The Cutting Guard is ideal for a host of concrete and masonry applications, including cutting tile, concrete cutting, and brick – as well as specialized uses like tuck pointing and cutting expansion joints. The new Cutting Guard is made to be used alongside Makita’s (or other manufacturers’) vacuum systems and really provides significant dust extraction on the jobsite. Particularly in light of new Lead Safe rules, this is becoming more and more of an issue with older commercial buildings as well as residential homes.
