1) Hitachi NT50AE2 3/4 to 2-Inch by 18-Gauge Brad Nailer

This particular product from Hitachi is primarily intended as a power tool for use with finishing work on various furniture items. It can also be used for work on trims and is versatile enough to work as a product for the finishing stage of any home project. A combination of versatility, ease-of-use and dur ability make this one of the most popular power tools at the current moment in time, not to mention the fact that the design of the actual tool allows a person to use it without having to worry about accidentally dropping it or ruining a day’s worth of work with one slip of the hand.

The 15 amp motor on the saw gives it a nice kick of power for those extra heavy cuts that you might need to make and with a large pivoting fence built into the product, positioning it to make any cut should not be difficult to do.

The overall packaging for the project is plastic in nature which makes the tool feel comfortable in a person’s hand.

4) Rockwell RK5102K Sonicrafter Deluxe

If you were looking for a power tool that can do it all, the introduction of this handy product from Rockwell is certainly one of the best that you are going to find. The creators of the product like to label it as being a complete workshop all by itself and while that might be stretching it, you would be surprised to learn that it is more substance than exaggeration.

It can also be used to sand, polish and finish, all of which have multiple applications throughout the work you might be doing. With the ability to do a dizzying array of tasks from wallpaper removal to multi-material cutting, this excellent device is a product you can use to single-handedly make your entry into the world of power tools.

With multiple sockets and wrench heads that you can attach to the apparatus, you can easily get a handle on any project that might demand the needs of a wrench. Whether you are trying to loosen or tighten something in a tight setting or just like normal, the power wrench only needs to get a hold of the object and then it can use its excellent power rating to deliver a torque that is far greater than anything a human being could deliver on their own.

  I am repairing a Craftsman countertop 13” planer I got from a neighbor. The model#351.217430 has 2 damaged gears #18267.00 and #18351.00. I’ve ordered the parts from sears but can’t figure out how to remove gear #18351.00 from the shaft. Is it pressed on or does it take a special tool to remove it? I appreciate your help.
