Eats batteries
This is is nice quality saw that works well, but has one drawback. It eats batteries very quickly. And when the battery even starts to get low it completely looses all torque power. The only way to work with this saw is to have at least 3 batteries available and charged before starting work. But it will cut like a workhorse as long as you feed it batteries.

dead battery
You would think they would at least put a new battery in a reconditioned tool. The saw seems to work fine but the battery lasts about 2 minutes. Any savings I received from buying a used tool will be gone with the purchase of a new battery. beware. ... Read more

A Really Practical High-Tech Toy... I mean Tool!
I asked for this Imow as a Father's Day gift.Wife was skeptical at first but she went along.It took some time to install the wire boundary for the whole yard but the mower worked quite well.Wife is impressed enough to consider getting one for her dad - maybe next year Father's Day.

The whole box weighs around 100 lbs so be really sure that you want and can use it as shipping to you is free but returning freight won't be.

Before you buy, go get a copy of the user manual from the manufacturer .. and verify that your yard terrain is within specs.Then do some paper layouts of the mowing plots.The thing uses a zigzag pattern to cover the area.You want to avoid bottlenecks/strait-like areas to allow it to traverse the plot.I found it more efficient to break a large block into smaller plots as the zigzags overlap with shorter distance between boundaries.My yard totals about 10000 sq ft with 4 plots.The smallest takes about 40 min., the largest 100 mins.With those work durations, it fully recharges overnight.

It is kind of fun to watch as it follows the boundary wire during the edge mode (very precise turning).The mowing is a triangular zigzag.Not entirely random though, I noticed it seems to track obstacles that it bumps into and maneuvers to avoid that area later on (my firmware is rev 3.2...)In any case, the pattern looks inefficient compared to the path a person would do.Just let the thing work and with enough time the grass becomes even.A couple trial runs and you can determine the correct time for each plot.

On dry days with long enough grass, I let it loose on a plot as I return from work.It is very quiet and can hang out thru dusk and night time w/o risk of West Nile, Eastern Equine Encephalitis and other nice effects of mosquito bites. And holy cow, I get to do other things on the weekend!

Finally, automation gets to the yard!I guess my son will have to do part-time web authoring for spending money in the future...

IMOW is our new pal!
Well, first off, my wife thought this was crazy. Sometime in the shopping process I did too. I mean, is it *that* hard to mow your own freakin' grass?

I grew up in Florida, where lawnmowing is an ugly chore, in 100% humidity, with sticky, hot grass all over your shoes, legs, etc.
Bad lawnmowing memories.
Now that I needed to buy a lawnmower of my own, I had always wanted to pick up one of those Freindly Robotics robomowers... When I saw Toro private-lable these things, give them a bigger battery, and then the prices kept falling, and then they had the refurbs even cheaper... I thought, heck, why not do it?

Report that I'm pretty pleased. I started the thing in the dusk, so I wouldn't be embarrassed by neighbors seeing this thing eat my flowerbeds, or small children if things went terribly wrong. Ended up with my wife and I with big silly grins as IMOW just ate our grass while we watched it (or tried not to watch it and look cool while the neighbors gawked and found excuses to come over and watch it - we're meeting a lot more neighbors now) The kids like IMOW ("Daddy, IMOW likes to mow ALL BY HIMSELF!") and so do I.
The down side is that there aren't quite enough pegs, especially if you have lots of obstacles that need the guide wire navigated around. The refurb didn't ship with a video or charger, I am assuming Toro will make good on parts if you didn't get everything in the 'open box specials' though.
If you have a relatively flat, square lawn free of lawn gnomes and junk, you are a prime hassle-free IMOW candidate.
Hey, go for it. It's a cool little mower. ... Read more

Would Not Honor Warranty
I used it three times and it would not start. You have to call Tecumseh for the warranty. I was told to take it into an authorized Tecumseh service center. I did and it was the carburator. The service center said they were not sure if Tecumseh would pay for the repair even though it was still under warranty. What??/ The service center called Tecumseh several times and they said they'd talk to someone and get back to them. They never did. I called and talked to their customer service people twice. No toll free number either.They had to get repair ok'd by a service manager. They never called. I called the service manager and of course had to leave a message. I left five of them over a three week period. He never called back. They never called the service center back either. If they had any intention of honoring their warranty, they'd have called back. So I ended up paying for [an expensive] dollar repair. The service center soaked that carb in cleaner overnight and it still wouldn't work. So they assumed it was a defective carburator. When it does run, it performs very well. But this motor is the loudest of any portable generator I have ever heard. I'm glad I don't have any close neighbors. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This review refers to the new model of this tool. This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like-new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Reconditioned tools come with the same warranty as their new counterparts.

The Bosch 3860K drill/driver makes its presence felt on the job site. Two speed settings, with variable speeds for each, and a 16-position torque control put you in charge. Switch effortlessly from high speed to high torque for jobs that need a little extra muscle, then switch back on the fly. The enclosed side handle attaches easily to either side of the tool for better control and stability on tough drilling jobs. A slim design and solid metal casing add to the overall durability and design, while a soft-grip, easy-touch trigger and safety stop make this tool a joy to use. All in all, the Bosch 18-volt drill/driver is a solid performer that will quickly find a place among your most frequently used power tools. --Carl Thress ... Read more

Good generator - but careful with reconditioned...
Air cooled engines like this one aren't necessarily designed to last forever, so if it is indeed reconditioned, I would want to know how many running hours the generator had, and what warranty exists or remains.

This generator at Amazon has the prefered Vanguard series engine, while not quite as good as a Honda GX series, there is nothing wrong with the Vanguard series engine.Lowes and Home Depot sell only the lesser model Briggs engines.This might be a good deal but be aware of what it is you are getting.

Also find out if the wheels are included, and understand any potential shipping restrictions as well. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Purist furniture makers frown on the plate joiner, or biscuit joiner, as it's often called, but this model might change a few minds. The ease of joinery is unparalleled with this method, and Makita really knows its business. This model offers a 10,000 rpm, 5.6 amp motor; six cutting depths for different biscuit sizes; and a precision fence that angles with positive stops at 0, 45, and 90 degrees. Changing biscuit sizes is as quick and easy as turning the adjustment dial. The rack-and-pinion fence's action is as smooth as any on the market at this level, and our test cuts were clean and dead-on accurate. Sure, you can keep on cutting mortise and tenon joints if you want to, but the smart woodworker is taking one of these home. For us, it falls squarely in the gotta-get-one category. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Delta Wet/Dry Grinder, Reconditioned
The condition of the grinder was the same as new. It runs with only a minimum of vibrationand the included large white stone is exactly right for the sharpening that this tool is meant to do. The smaller white stone works well also. The only problem I see is that when the grinder is positioned where I want it, the small wheel is lower than I would like. Since the primary sharpening is done on the large wheel and the small one mainly is used to rough-out edges, this has not been a big concern. The tool rest for the large wheel is adequate for most of my uses but I probably will make an auxiliary rest for sharpening my turning gouges. The tool is a joy to use. ... Read more

Utterly incompetent?yet gutless and cumbersome.
This machine lacks the power to pull a 5" x 7" x 6' 4/4 piece of alder across my 3 hp table saw. I thought it was a bargain, instead its just...from Delta. Can't imagine this working for anyone. I'm sending this one back and buying a 1hp and waiting for shipping...again.

What a help !
