Power tools have brought speed and accuracy to the small
workshop. Even though I enjoy using hand tools, I don't deny
that planing boards on my portable planer has saved me countless
hours of hand planing. If a power tool can save you time,
I say use them. The time savings can easily be applied to
other areas of the project where power tools may not be useful.
All of these reviews are based on my personal experience
with these tools. I rate my tools from 1 to 6. I use this
rating scale because it doesn't allow for an average rating
like a 3 out of 5 would allow. A 3 on my scale is slightly
negative while a 4 is slightly positive. Very few tools see
a 6 so don't let the review inflation of other sites scare
you off. In my opinion a tool with a perfect rating better
be perfect or darn close to it. In general, a tool rating
a 4 or 5 is a good tool. A 3 or less suggests that you might
want to look around some more before you put your hard earned
money down. I have started to phase out the numerical reivew system and I'm replacing it with a more robust subjective review.
