Tool Accessory Reviews

Our power tool accessory reviews include products such as impact-rated bits, driver bits, saw blades, batteries & chargers, tool storage, best tools bags, 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.

Lenox Bi-Metal Utility Bit 5-pc Kit Review

Lenox Bi-Metal Utility Bit 5-pc Kit Review

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

DeWalt DWX726 Rolling Miter Saw Stand Review

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.
