			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Innovations across the power tool industry have improved the durability, strength and maneuverability of both corded and cordless power tools. Cordless tools, it seems, are becoming vastly more popular as battery and motor technologies continue to improve. New developments like Lithium-Ion battery technology has upped the ante for cordless tools, but other innovations have certainly not left corded power tools in the dust. New advancements in corded power tool designs have made corded tools, once cumbersome and lumbering, lighter weight and far easier to handle. Corded power tools still offer unrivaled power and performance, and generally have a longer life-span; when picking a tool, however, it is still not an easy choice as cordless tools offer compact ergonomics and superior mobility. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to consider a few things before deciding which tool best suits you and your needs. The type of job and intensity of applications, the materials you intend to manipulate, and how often you will use your power tools are all factors in choosing between corded and cordless tools. </p>
<p>&#8220;So, what are the benefits of cordless tools?&#8221; you ask. Well, I&#8217;ll tell you. Cordless power tools allow craftsmen to take the tools to the job rather than bringing work back to your tools; bringing work back to the shop or a stable power source can be a frustrating chore if not wholly impossible. Cordless tools offer superior convenience and portability, and with greater advancements in battery technology and tool design, cordless tools now have more power, less weight, and a longer run-time than ever before. Another striking benefit of using cordless tools is, well, they&#8217;re cordless! Lugging and dragging around heavy cords can not only be a hassle but a hazard as well. For this reason, cordless tools also tend to be easier to store and transport. Cordless tools are ideal for home use and for use in high-traffic areas where cords can present a bigger safety hazard. Additionally, cordless tools are absolutely essential when working in unfinished constructions where, perhaps, there is no electrical power source available. However, it&#8217;s not all sunshine with cordless tools, although their convenience is unmatched, they can&#8217;t offer the constant high power that corded tools can. Cordless tools are less powerful to begin with and most (excluding those using Lithium-Ion batteries) lose power continuously as you work. Unlike corded, cordless power tools have a limited power source and rely on a fully charged battery to efficiently run. Cordless tools also tend to be a bit heavier and batteries can be expensive to replace. </p>
<p>Intrigued, you now ask, &#8220;Ah, so what then are the advantages of using corded tools?&#8221; Let me tell you. Corded power tools offer significantly more power and a constant, non-dwindling power source for continuous run-time. Corded tools offer a wider variety for more diverse applications and deliver the highest-performance for the most heavy-duty jobs. Corded tools allow users to perform without stops ensuring projects are completed without the hassle of changing and charging batteries. Because of their superior power and nonstop performance, corded tools are ideal for heavier construction jobs. They also tend to be less expensive &#8211; and you&#8217;ll never have to replace a pricey battery either. Cordless tools are a stronger, more durable tool and are essential where jobs require constant and superior power. Corded tools provide unmatched power and deliver the most professional results to even the heaviest, heartiest, beefiest applications. On the other hand, while corded tools don&#8217;t require battery replacements, they do have that lumbering cord; that heavy, fraying cord requires replacement as often as a battery does. While cords are generally less expensive to replace, they are much more frustrating and time consuming. Power cords present more problems than simply fraying or failing altogether &#8211; cords are dangerous; they present a serious electrical hazard, and are fairly easy to trip over. Corded tools also have limited mobility, and as its generally recommended to avoid using extension cords (which present an additional safety hazard) corded tools shouldn&#8217;t go too far from the power source they&#8217;re drawing from. </p>
<p>When choosing a tool, it is crucial to consider the capacities of of both corded and cordless types. Each offers different advantages to suit different demands and applications. Know the type of jobs you expect to perform, the type of materials you&#8217;ll be working with, and consider how often you&#8217;ll be firing up your tools &#8211; knowing these three things should help you choose precisely which tool, corded or cordless, will be your best companion on the job. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arguably one of the most important inventions in modern times, the portable drill has proven to be one of, if not the, most important and useful tool today. In this article I&#8217;ll offer a few tips on how to choose the right power or cordless drill for your needs.</p>
<p>Choosing A Drill:</p>
<p>Because of its versatility, the electric or battery powered drill is a wise choice for the homeowners first portable power tool. It can drill metal, wood, plastic, concrete, and perform many other operations as well.</p>
<p>The size of the drill is determined by the largest drill shank (the shank is the part of a drill bit grasped by the chuck of a drill) its chuck will accept, which may be Â¼, 3/8, Â½, or Â¾ inch. The Â¼ inch size is probably the handiest for the average job around the home or workshop. A drills power varies with size and make but typically ranges from 1/5 hp for the Â¼ inch models to as much as 1 Â½ hp for the Â¾ inch models. There are some heavy-duty hand held models with higher HP ratings, but for everyday use they would be overkill. Speed usually decreases with size (though turning power increases), ranging from about 2000 r.p.m. for the Â¼ inch size to around 1200 r.p.m. for 3/8 inch and 600 r.p.m. for Â½ inch drills. The larger Â¾ inch drills (more commonly used for professional and industrial work) are commonly in the 250-475 r.p.m. range.  The slower speeds of the larger drills provide greater turning power (torque) necessary for driving large diameter bits and hole saws. Today there are models that perform in all r.p.m. ranges.</p>
<p>The high speed of the Â¼ inch drills equips them no only to drill holes up to Â¼ inch in diameter in metal and Â½ inch in wood, but also for sanding. Variable speed control is available on most models these days as well as the feature to reverse the drills direction. The speed control lets you select the best drilling speed. Reverse is useful in backing out wood bits from deep holes.</p>
<p>Heavy duty drills of any given size vary more widely in price than do the light-duty models because of differences in bearings, wiring, and other features. For normal home use, heavy-duty features are not usually needed.</p>
<p>Most power drills are equipped with 3-wire grounding cords to protect the user from shock in case of internal electrical damage. Although becoming rare, if you buy a drill with a 2-prong plug, be sure the tool is a type in which the outer shell and chuck are completely insulated from the wiring. Such drill are commonly termed double-insulated drills.</p>
<p>Cordless drills come equipped as kit complete with one or two rechargeable batteries, battery charger, as well as a polyethylene plastic carrying case. The rechargeable batteries manufactured today are a far cry from the earlier attempts in power, longevity, and durability. 12 volt, 14.4 volt, 18 volt, and 24 volt batteries are now the ordinary instead of the exception.</p>
<p>Whatever drill you buy, check the guarantee as well as the availability of parts. Your best bet is to opt for the quality of a reputable manufacturer. Keep in mind that this is a substantial purchase of a toll you can reasonably expect to be in action years from now. Do your homework; pick the right tools for your needs, take proper care of it, and it will take care of you for years to come. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Electric Sander<br />
This device operates with a belt driven sander making short work of the most demanding sanding tasks. Buffing down an old wooden dresser ready for a fresh coat of paint or taking the knots out of the decking are but two possible uses for this power tool.  </p>
<p>Drill<br />
The common drill is probably one of the most often purchased power tool, using various sized drill bits to bore and auger holes in wood, plastic, metal and plaster for picture and shelf hanging and many other uses.   </p>
<p>Saw<br />
This is a industrial power tool for cutting wood or other material, consisting of a serrated blade (a blade with the cutting edge toothed) and worked either by hand or by steam, water, electric or other power source. </p>
<p>Lathe<br />
In woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, and glass working, a lathe is a machine power tool which spins a block of material so that when abrasive, cutting, or deformation tools are applied to the block, it can be shaped to produce an object which has rotational symmetry about an axis of rotation. Examples of objects that can be produced on a lathe include candlestick holders, table legs, bowls, baseball bats, crankshafts or camshafts. </p>
<p>The material is held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can be moved horizontally to accommodate varying material lengths. In a woodworking lathe, an adjustable horizontal metal rail between the material and the operator accommodates the positioning of shaping tools, which are usually hand-held. With wood, it is common practice to press and slide sandpaper against the still-spinning object after shaping. </p>
<p>Crushers<br />
Crushers are commonly classified by the degree to which they fragment the starting material, with coarse crushers not reducing it by much, intermediate crushers fragmenting it much more significantly, and grinders reducing it to a fine powder. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the years lots of different types and designs of power tools have come and gone. One of the big questions on lots of people&#8217;s lips is: &#8220;How much better are modern tools, compared to the ones of say 10 years ago.&#8221; In the article I&#8217;m hopefully going to answer that question, plus maybe a few others along the way.<br />
Firstly lets compare a classic, the Bosch GST 85 jigsaw with its newer cousin the Bosch GST135. I think it&#8217;s fair to use Bosch as an example here as they designed the first jigsaw way back in 1947, and they are the first choice for tradesmen all over the world. According to Bosch&#8217;s website, one in every two jigsaws in use world wide is made by Bosch.<br />
Motor wise the 135 has a much more powerful motor at 720watts compared to the 580watt input of the GST85. However that said the 85 has a faster stroke speed of 3100spm.<br />
So, I hear you ask those number are great, but how far has the jigsaw come since the GST85. Well, perhaps one specification will make it a little clearer. The GST135 can cut through 135 mm of wood. The GST85 only 85mm. Perhaps that&#8217;s how they get there name.<br />
Ok well what about price. Well the GST135 retails for around £165, its list price is higher, but as a rule about £165 is what I&#8217;d expect to pay. The GST85 used to retail at around the same price if not more. What that tells me is there aimed at the same price range, but in the modern age of ecommerce the price of tools has come down.<br />
In use the Bosch GST135 feels a lot more powerful and responsive. One specification I often hear about the 135 is it has 25% more torque that the GST85. It shows from the moment you turn the tool on. The newer model also offers the added function of dust extraction, and also the new technology of Constant Electronic. Constant Electronic basically is a clever piece of electronic trickery that boost the power output when under heavy loads.<br />
I&#8217;d defiantly conclude in the case of jigsaws the Bosch GST135 is a major step forward over is predecessors, not only in specifications, but in use. If you ever get chance to use one I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll agree. Wielding one of these bad boys makes you feel like a true workman. Even Brazilian hard wood will yield easily under will of this Bosch power house.<br />
In summary I suppose it is obvious that power tools get better as technology improves. However is it worth replacing your trusty old tools with the newer versions? That&#8217;s a harder question to answer. I recommend considering how often you use the particular tool and I suppose it depends on what you use them for.<br />
So Johan I hear you ask &#8220;How much better are modern tools, compared to the ones of say 10 years ago?&#8221;<br />
In short they are vastly better, but don&#8217;t get rid of your old tools until you require something better. </p>
