3" X 24" Belt Sander
Can anyone help me? I need information on a 3" X 24"Black & Decker Sander, a B-245, TYPE AB. Specificaly the size and description if the Drive Gears. Thanks.

Low frills, economical belt sander
Most of the time, I buy the tools that get the best reviews... and when it comes to a router, planer or table saw, that's not a bad idea. In my world, it's unnecessary to apply the same scrutiny to a belt sander - after all, this is not a tool for finish sanding. This is for fast, aggressive removal of material.

To be fair, I am an amateur woodworker restoring a 100-year old house and a belt sander is something I use infrequently at best. For the occasions that I do need one, this does the job more than adequately. ... Read more

This lightweight, quiet, and fast-cutting electric tool makes trimming small shrubbery almost effortless. Weighing in at only 4-1/2 pounds, it feels exceptionally comfortable in the hand and prevents user fatigue, even on big trimming jobs; its smaller size, maneuverability, and ease of handling make it especially appropriate for sculpting ornamental bushes or topiary. The unit features a medium-length 16-inch blade made from pre-hardened steel for durability, rust resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. The body is made from sturdy, molded plastic with a two-handed grip for extra stability without extra effort. The integral handle has a locking safety switch; turned on, it allows continuous operation without holding down a trigger, and turned off, it prevents accidental start-ups. A cord lock feature prevents accidental unplugging, while handy brackets keep the cord looped out of your way. This trimmer runs off a 2.2-amp motor that delivers up to 3,300 strokes per minute, and it cuts branches up to 3/8 of an inch in diameter. This item is covered by a two-year warranty. --Mary Park ...

Great small tool for small jobs!
I had been looking at drills for a while in order to do those small jobs around the house, such as hanging pictures and shelves. I didn't feel it was necessary to get a large drill with many attachments for these types of jobs. When I came across this drill/driver I was absolutely thrilled! This tool is very easy to use and small enough that it doesn't take up too much storage space when not in use. Additionally, the cost of the tool is very affordable. I highly recommend this product!

Great for light to medium applications.
The driver feels very solid and nice in your hand. It comes with 4 hex-shank bits - a medium philips, medium flathead, 3/16 and 1/16 drill bits, which should be fine for most jobs. While there is plenty of torque for drilling, there is no torque range adjustment, so you'll have to be careful not to overtighten screws. For that purpose, it has an intuitive manual spindle lock that clicks firmly into place, allowing you to use it like a regular screwdriver.

The bit holder shaft has a convenient quick connect sleeve. You simply pull back on the sleeve insert or remove the bit. The bits have a groove at the end to keep them in the shaft when you work, solving the common problem that I always run into previous power screwdrivers and drills, where for various reasons, the bit gets stuck in the hole or screw when I pull away.

The handle has cartridge style battery pack. Also included with the drill/driver are 4 AA batteries, 20 screws, and 20 plastic inserts (for dryway)-- everything you need to get started. It comes with a full 2-year home use warranty.

I really like this unit. It was very inexpensive, does the job, has the fit and finish quality that one expects from Black and Decker, and has an ergonomic look and feel.

While it would have been nice for this drill/driver to run a bit faster (it runs at only 130 rpm versus the more desirable 180/rpm) and have a torque adjustment ring for worry free screw driving, I think the price makes up for it considerably.

Overall, the AD600 is an excellent value. ... Read more

Do-it-yourselfers avoid costly sandpaper
Although the Black and Decker Mouse can be a handy gadget for sanding, the cost of replcement sandpaper will take the finish off any project.Six dollars for five sheets is approx, 10 times the cost of replacement paper for orbital sanders.I had to adjust my B and D to accept less costly adhesive backed paper.......buyer beware of expensive accessories. ...

Mine broke
I have been renovating my house, and put this saw to a great deal of use. The angle selector handle feels beefy, but if you turn the saw over, the handle connects to a thin piece of cast metal.

This is appearently not strong enough. Mine broke the other day, after about 12 months of periodic use.

Overall the saw was accurate, comfortable and fast to use. Initially the unit appears to be fairly well put together. Once it broke, I took a moment to examine the undercarraige where the failure occured. Yep. Black and Decker alright.

Having owned a few other B & D products over the years I didn't expect too much. I was hoping this product would surpass those expectations. It didn't.

Solid Performer
I bought this saw for one job only but now I use it almost every day. Cuts straight out of the box...no adjustments needed. Sure, I'd like to have one of the sliding/bevel saws, but for 1/4 the price I can buy a lot of other tools with the money I am saving (including a nice circular saw that will do the bevel cuts). The Bosch 10" slider has been sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for a while now, but I just can't bring myself to take the plunge because the Black and Decker does the job. (I must confess that I don't do a lot of moldings).

Four stars only because I wish it had a few more features, but I would give it a full five stars for value.

A Great Start to a Basic Miter Table System
If you are looking for a basic miter table system, then this is your saw. The powerful 3 hp, 15 amp motor will get you thru almost any type of wood. The tall fence will hold pieces up to 4 1/2 inches securely. The pre-indexing of the common angle cuts is nice. Overall, a nice basic saw.

Now what it is missing. A short table base requires to add or build table extentions or don't try to cut anything over 3 feet long by yourself. No intergrated stop block system. Compound cuts have to be done with two different setups, this is NOT a compound cut saw, or a sliding saw. The side handle is nice, though.

If you plan on doing any above basic cuts or any length over 3 feet, then you might want to look at the Black and Decker BT1500 with compound capablity and table extentions included.

UNBELIEVABLE !
I NEVER SAW A BETTER MITER SAW FOR THE MONEY.
THIS IS SURELY THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK..

Don't bother
After burning up my old hammer drill in the middle of a job I ran out and picked this one up, just to finish up. It barely scarred the outside of the cinder block I was going though when it began to smell, burning up already! I let it rest. When I used it again it just crapped out, the mechanism that sets it into hammer mode broke. I wasn't able to get though a single hole with this piece of junk. I took the masonry bit out, put it in my Dewalt drill (non-hammer) and finished up. I am a pro and do not abuse my tools, it would be too costly. I used this drill as it was supposedly designed to be used, and it failed terribly. I only gave it a star because it isn't terribly ugly. ... Read more

The pinnacle of technology is here! Any video card that can iron your clothes and look cool all at the same time gets two BIG thumbs up.

The best card for Doom 3!
Thats right. This card has it all. It's cheap, owns, and great for games.

This card kicks a lot of ass. Like a lot people at the PlanetDoom forums say:

Doesn't require a huge power supply.
And it conviently fits well in my closet!

Bottom Line: This card KICKASS! Specially with Doom 3 -wink-

Great 18 Volt tool kit
My kit is very similar but not quite the same it's the FSC618K-2

Anyway I've read some reviews that say the chuck on the drill can't hold a bit at all and its only real use is as an 18-volt screwdriver. I've run a 1/2" bit to the hilt into a 4X4 several times just to test it, and there was no slippage at all. I'm not really sold on the pop off chuck, but it has saved time when I was building some books shelves recently. But I would say that 280 lbs. of torque is plenty for most applications, but have to admit that I am a novice and use the drill/driver around the house. I've only had it a little over a month but have played around with it, and am very impressed with it. Especially when compared to most of the other 18 volt drill/drivers out there. The circular saw cuts 2X4 with no problem and I have used it to cut about 10, 1"X6 "shelf's to length with plenty of power left over. The Cut Saw is just cool. I haven't had time to use it much but in your hands it feels as if it has enough power to do just about anything you might need it to do. The vacuum is a step up from the basic dust buster does a fine job and has great battery life. The flashlight is bright and I've used it to drain the partially used batteries before recharging. My kit is a little different in that I do not have the laser level/stud finder or the work table and the tool bag looks smaller, but this is as close as to what I have as I could find. My kit included the Radio/charger FS100 Stud Finder The Drill Circular Saw, the Cut Saw Light and Vacuum. But other than that the kits are very similar. I bought four extra batteries and the fast multi-volt charger on E-Bay so in case I ever do get busy with the kit I'll be able to keep it powered. I would say you would have a hard time beating this kit for the performance and price (check E-Bay). Plus it's been fun to play with, and I've read DeWalt builds the Firestorm stuff. I am looking forward to putting it to a real test. But I'm sure it will pass any tests I put it through with flying colors.

The tools make the man!
Someone once told me a man is only as good as his tool. Well, when I purchased the Black and Decker 7-tool combo kit I became a man and for a year I was king of the neighborhood. I had become the most respected carpenter in the project. I built four house that year and was going strong as I was branching out my business. Until one night I awoke to find some of my tools missing. I figured I must have left them on a job or something. The next day I searched for them but to no avail. The next night I woke and found the rest of the kit gone. The next night I burned the candle at both ends waiting to find the culprit. I had fallen asleep and felt something tugging at my underwear. I awoke and jump out of my seat when I found little gnomes racing through the house holding my underwear in victory. I pulled my best 007 and tracked them down in the crevices of the basement. There they were singing "We are the tool and underwear gnomes. We need lots of supplies to make it on our way. Big business is a freight train on a path to money right away."
I stood there alone and cold as a breeze went up my pajamas, begging for my atleast my hammer in trade for my silence. They simply told me it was my word, a middle aged working class man, against that of a GNOMES. I guess it was back to the drawling board, without a pen.

Great Product
The product works great and is easy to assemble. The hardest part is finding out how to put all the tools into the bag. On the first day, I used the circular saw, drill, vacuum, and light. All worked as well as my corded tools. I am a convert to cordless. One nice touch is the power distribution plugs in the front of the bag. My only confusion is why? With cordless tools, do you need more outlets? If they want to improve the product, add another battery and the Radio Battery charger. ... Read more
