Chain Saws Are Handy For Home Improvement

If you need to do some tree trimming, cut fire wood, trim brush in your yard, or make log furniture then you'll want to own a good chain saw. You can buy chain saws in many different styles and for many different uses. If you want a good style from a good brand then you should consider several factors before you buy one.

Dewalt 18 Volt Kit

If you want to buy a consumer chain saw that that is made for someone who just needs to use a saw sometimes. A consumer chain saw will have similar features as a pro model, but the cost is a lot less than a standard or professional saw. They also won't have as much power as pro chain saws. If you only need to use it every once in awhile then this won't really matter too much.

A standard chain saw also has many similar features as a pro saw, but they have better performance than a consumer saw and they have a bit more power. These can be used for many different things, often they are used by someone who has a wooded property. Farmers many also use this kind of chain saw, as well. These are powerful and durable so they are a good option for many people.

A pro chain saw can be used on a daily basis. These are made very strong so they can be used often. These come with a six foot bar and can range from light weight to very heavy duty.

Husqyarna chain saws come in a large range of styles and sizes. If you want to get a good low cost gas powered saw that is also high quality then you can try their 137 model. If you need just basic work done this could be good for you.

If you want a professional saw that is high powered then you might want to consider their 346XP model. This is very slim and has an ergonomic design for more comfortable use. This comes in many different ranges from sixteen to twenty inch bar length. This can do more heavy duty jobs. The 3120 model is very big and can fit a bar that is up to fifty inches. If you need something professional and can handle really tough conditions than this could be good for you.

If you want a brand of chain saws that are in many different sizes and styles then try a Stihl chain saw. If you want something that is good for around the house than try the M180. You can get great features like the Easy 2 Start and quick chain adjusting which makes this saw really simple to use. You can get sizes that range from twelve to sixteen inch bar. This is very easy to use because it is so lightweight.

If you need something for moderate use then try the MS290. This one has side access to make adjusting the chain tension easier. The Intellicarb carburetor helps it to be in great shape for use in the winter or summer. If you want a heavy duty model for use every day then try the MS880 Magnum Pro. This has a heavy duty air filter, one piece muffler design, and light weight fly wheel. You can buy this model with a seventeen inch to a fifty nine inch bar.

24V Drill

The drill, which is an important tool for woodworking, metalworking, construction and DIY projects, is a tool with a rotating drill bit used for drilling holes in various materials. Some specialized drills that are designed differently from the ordinary ones can also be used in medical operations and other applications.

Dewalt 18 Volt Kit

Drills date back as far as the ancient Harappans and Egyptians periods and were known as "bow drill". The more technologically-advanced drills today, including the drill press, are evolved from these bow drills and is believed to be centuries old. Drills are powered by different sources including but not limited to human effort, water wheels and windmills, often with the use of series of belts. But in the late 19th century through the introduction of the electricity and the electric motor, electric tools, which are widely known as powertools, were developed. One of the powertools invented is the power drill. The invention of the first electric drill is credited to Arthur James Arnot and William Blanch Brain in 1889 at Melbourne, Australia. But in 1895, Wilhelm Fein invented the portable electric drill at Stuttgart, Germany.

Dewalt 18 Volt Kit

Just like other tools, there are also many types of drill, each with its own functions and features that can help a craftsman in his line of work. Types of drill include hand tools, pistol-grip or corded drill, hammer drill, rotary hammer drill, cordless drill, drill press, geared head drill, radial arm drill and mill drill. But the most common among users nowadays is the cordless drill.

Cordless drill is a type of electric drill which uses rechargeable batteries, but also have similar features to an AC mains-powered drill. These drills are usually available in hammer drill configuration. However, there are also some that have clutch settings which allow them to be used for driving screws. One more popular configuration for this cordless drills is the right angle drill, which allow a worker to drive screws in tight spaces.

Early cordless drills started with 7.2V interchangeable battery packs, but over the years battery voltages increased. This is because most craftsmen are relying on the power of their tools to be able to finish more work. The most common voltage for power drills today are 18 volts, but there are also 24V drills in the market. Most drill manufacturers use lithium ion batteries which are better than the traditional nickel-cadmium packs, because of longer life, less instances of self-discharging and short circuit due to dendrite growth. Lithium-ion batteries hold charge for significantly longer time as compared to nickel-cadmium batteries.

Voltages of cordless drills means their torque, which is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist. The higher voltage of a drill, the higher its torque. That means 24V drills can produce more torque, even as much as AC mains-powered drills. Another benefit of cordless 24V drill is its mobility as oppose to corded drills.

Electric powertools have definitely become very popular in the construction industry and among DIY enthusiasts. One of which are the cordless drills with obvious helpful benefits for all, from starters and hobbyists to the professionals. And these tools are continuously improving to make our life even easier.

DEWALT DCK280C2 20-Volt MAX Li-Ion 1.5 Ah Compact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit Specifications

DEWALT’s DCK280C2 20-volt max lithium-ion compact 1.5 Ah drill and impact driver combo kit combines the fast performance of the DCD780 1/2-inch drill/driver and the compact power of the DCF885 1/4-inch impact driver to provide a well-rounded pair of tools that help everyone from steel stud framers and contractors to cabinetmakers and plumbers work their way through a variety of applications.

DCK280C2 20-Volt Max
Lithium-Ion Compact Drill/
Impact Driver Combo Kit
At a Glance:

Compact and ergonomic design that doesn’t compromise on power
Drill/driver’s two-speed transmission offers 0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM
Impact driver’s one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck accepts 1-inch bit tips
Tools come with 3-year limited warranty, 1-year free service contract, and 90-day money-back guarantee
Lithium-ion batteries come with 2-year free service contract

This kit's impact driver features a one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck that accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips (view larger).

Strength Defies Size
DEWALT has optimized both of these tools to withstand daily jobsite wear and tear. The compact drill/driver’s two-speed (0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM) transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the task at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current drill/drivers on the market. Its high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 350 unit watts out of maximum power for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. Plus, DEWALT’s engineering and design team adjusted the drill/driver’s footprint and weight allocation for ideal balance and a lightweight feel, making the 3.4-pound tool easy to maneuver in tight areas. Meanwhile, the impact driver’s robust motor delivers 2,800 RPM—up to 43 percent faster than current impact drivers on the market. Its one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips for convenient fastening in tight spaces. Research shows that impact drivers are growing in popularity largely because of their smaller size and lack of kickback (or reactionary torque) thanks to the impact mechanism within the tool. Combined with its 5.55-inch length and 2.8-pound weight, the compact impact driver packs a serious punch in a small package.

Endurance and Ease of Use
DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into both tools’ switches to provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The- 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology, and the included Energy Star-qualified charger has dual voltage capabilities and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries. The tools’ slim handles fit easily into users’ hands, increasing the level of comfort during the course of long jobs, and the bright built-in LED work lights above the triggers have a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.

About DEWALT's 20-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Tools
DEWALT’s line of 20-volt max lithium-ion tools features improvements in engineering and design to provide the performance, the ergonomics, and the innovation that contractors require. The new line consists of 11 tools, two lithium ion batteries, and two battery chargers, as well as a number of combo kits.

Choosing the Right Sharpening Equipment

Sharpening your tools, including knifes, sheers, saws and chainsaws is important. It keeps your tools working optimally and precisely. It used to be that stone grinders were the sharpeners of choice but there are many other options. The sharpener you choose depends on the tools you need to sharpen, your budget, and what you prefer. Here is an overview of different sharpeners so you can make an educated choice.

Dewalt 18 Volt Kit

Grinding wheels are a common piece of sharpening equipment and come in a variety of shapes. There is a straight wheel which has a front facing edge and a cylinder wheel with the cutting edge at the front of the cylinder. They all have an abrasive material that will remove unwanted buildup and straighten the cutting edge so it will be sharp and precise when cutting. The grit (abrasive material) size is something to keep in mind when selecting a wheel. They range from rough (10-24 grit) to fine grain (100-180). The fine grain grit is good for tools that require precision and detail.

Dewalt 18 Volt Kit

There are also bench grinders which are inexpensive and can easily be mounted on your workbench. The wheels are small - only 6 to 10 inches in diameter. It is run by an electric motor and has a tool rest to improve accuracy while sharpening.

There are different abrasive materials used depending on the brand and model. The most common material is aluminum oxide and is ideal for use on steel, iron and annealed (heat treated) iron. The next most common material used as abrasives on grinding wheels is zirconia alumina which is a combination of aluminum and zirconium oxide. This material is also ideal for sharpening a variety steels and alloys such as lawn mower blades.

One of the newest materials to hit the market is ceramic aluminum oxide and is extremely strong. It is preferred by craftsmen who like precision when sharpening their tools. Ceramic aluminum oxide is more expensive that other abrasive material due to its durability and accuracy.

Grinding wheels are useful for most of your tools that you need to sharpen but if you need to sharpen you chain saw then you will need a special tool. An automatic sharpener is the easiest and ensures uniformity. After you set the angle on the sharpener you place each tooth on it individually. A less expensive option is a manual chainsaw sharpener which will require more work. Since they usually come with more than one wheel they are more versatile than an automatic and therefore useful if you have multiple chainsaws.

Sharpening tools are an important part of any workshop or handyman workbench. Keeping your tools sharp with a professional sharpener will increase your precision, make cutting easier and you'll get more use from your tools.

18-Volt Litheon Batteries for Maximum Runtime and Manageability
The 36618-02 utilizes state-of-art lithium-ion battery technology and Bosch's proprietary ECP (Electronic Cell Protection) system to provide maximum cycle life, minimum self-discharge, and no memory-effect. Best of all, Litheon batteries will fully charge in 30 minutes and will be at 85% capacity in just 15 minutes.

Handle grip with finger support provides maximum control. View larger.

Up to one pound lighter than comparable 18-volt NiCad drills/drivers, the 36618-02 won't weigh you down. It's ideal for a wide range of drilling and fastening jobs, from hanging curtains to building a deck; from making automotive repairs to installing cabinetry.

Unique, Flexible Power System
Like all tools in Bosch's 18-Volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3-Ah BAT609 Slim Pack battery (two included) or a 2.6-Ah BAT318 Fat Pack. If you're looking for a lighter-weight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job.

Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction for Reliable Results
The 36618-02 works at speeds up to 1,600 RPM and provides 500 in./lbs. of torque. Durashield housing, unibody construction, and a steel-reinforced collar help you withstand real-world conditions, like temperature extremes, rain, dirt, debris, and drops.

The 36618-02's Durashield Housing is constructed with ABS/Nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible and impenetrable. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.

This tool also features unique unibody construction with three steel straps that keep the motor, gears, and clutch together. This ensures that the gears never separate from the motor, and it keeps the drill functioning even after drops.

Additionally, the 36618-02 boasts an exclusive steel-reinforced collar that protects the nose of the drill. It provides extra reinforcement in the event of drops on the chuck and prevents the chuck from bending or breaking off.

Easy Bit Changes and Balanced Design for Utmost Control

Smart Features for Easy Use
20 clutch settings and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. At the same time, the 36618-02's ergonomic design provides optimum comfort and control. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.
