Do a search on YouTube for that specific product name. There seem to be reviews of everything on there.

I see in the latest round of coupons they have the Variable speed rotary tool on sale, I have this exact one and it's a keeper. It has it's own case so you can keep accessories with it, I use it quite a bit.
Thanks flyerdan that is what I was looking for. It looks identical to a ingersaw Rand I borrowed. And I found out a half inch air line make it much more effective. I guess I will buy one that is a pretty good discount. But you never know what Labor Day holds in store. Thanks again for the info

You do realize that the one I linked is the electric Dremel style with .125" collet size?
I do have the HF die grinder, 3" cutter and 90 degree die grinder for roloc discs and am quite happy with them as well.

No I didn’t. I was looking at a one inch square drive impact. It went off sale today and I didn’t buy it. Neighbor has one easy to borrow. And I needed the money elsewhere. I have a one inch square drive pull handle ordered off eBay. A Proto for hundred bucks. So I’m set
This Bauer 1/2" chuck slow speed supposed heavy duty spade handle drill, smoked a corded 1/2" DeWalt before buying this drill it's been working great for my occasional projects for mixing thin set and grout if some one needs to do that buy this drill imo or keep smoking more expensive drills I guess.

Does anyone know exactly what the difference is between the Bauer and Hercules lines are? I have an adapter so I can use my Milwaukee batteries on Bauer 20v tools. I also have an adapter for the 20v Hercules tools but I don't own any. I could use a cordless circular saw for very rare use. The price difference is only $10. Looking at the pictures it looks like the base on the Hercules is aluminum vs stamped steel on the Bauer.
Never used my cordless circular saw much cuz it ate threw my old DeWalt not hf 18 volt batteries then I bought a 20v 7.25 DeWalt circular saw and rarely use my corded anymore. In fact if I go somewhere to help a buddy with projects usually all I take is my cordless circular saw even if I'm doing lots of cutting like stair stringers or rafters. I apologize can't speak for your original question really but if you buy a cordless circular saw I'd probably make sure you have extra charged batteries til you at least get a feel for how long a battery will last with whatever cordless circular saw you get.
