OK, wreckers. It's 'fess up time!

Yes, I got one as a gift and don't recall opening it after the obligatory Christmas morning look, however many years ago that was. Joe

Hi Ross:

Funny, but if someone started a "What's the best tool you've ever bought" thread, I'd probably rank my PC biscuit joiner in the top 5 of my tools. It's great for edge-joining and the occasional face frame. Regards, John.

OTOH, my wife uses hers a lot for the refinishing she does and likes it well...

YMMV... :)

Hate to say it but I use one most every day at work. Find is one of the best tolls available. Course I'm not using it on wood but on plastic which is still warm from the injection mold. Trims the flash quite well. Never tried em on wood though.

Yup, I'm with Chuck. Bought it, tried it, boxed it, hide it. Couldn't tell you where it is now...

Porter Cable profile detail sander. I use the profiles by hand and leave the sander in the box.

Got a cordless Dremel which is a most useless POS. Can't keep a charge in the battery for more than a few minutes and then it seems to take hours to recharge. Bought a cheapo Harbor Freight corded thingy so I could at least use the bits. whine, jo4hn

Whoa! That sounds like something overheard in a San Franscisco bar. ;-) [Sorry, just hit me as funny]

C'mon now, it does make a halfway useable lathe and drill press.

B&D belt sander. This one is over 30 years old and has seen about

3 hours total work in that time. Every time I use it I cuss myself out four using it again because it invariably finds a way, when I'm least suspecting it, to TILT and dig in and mar every piece of face wood it touches, no matter how hard the wood and with 120 grit belts.

This may draw a few flames, but the tool I bought that I never use is a Delta mortiser - the one with the cast iron table. I tested it when new, and it works fine. But I'm used to cutting mortises with routers and jigs - faster (for me) and much more clean and accurate. So I never seem to want to use the mortiser.

Typical with NiCd batteries. If you have a Batteries Plus store near-ish you, they might be able to fix and/or replace those cells.

B&D power planer here. I seemed to have a "need" at the time, but now I can't remember what the tool is even for ...

I do occasionally use the Ryobi detail sander. Light use only, please. It's the only Ryobi I own.

I agree with you. I don't have a biscuit joiner. Haven't needed one yet. I use all mortise and tenon or dovetail. Of course it would be different if I were doing this for a living and not a hobby.

Anything by Ryobi ... bought a POS 1/4" router by Ryobi as a newbie ... also bought a POS random orbital sander as a newbie. Both ended up on the scrap heap, replaced by better brands.

I'll fess up. I bought one, haven't found much use for it. My buddy borrowed it and said it was the best thing since sliced bread, Hmmmm. I wonder what he did with it, hahahaha.

A rotozip tool. How can they even sell one? Why did I buy one? I thought I could use it to rough out some sheetrock electrical socket holes, but it was pretty crappy.
