I'm actually quite anal about getting and keeping things clean, so I'm hoping for the best. Even if I have to junk it, it was cheaper than renting a sprayer for the two days, and I don't plan on painting for as many years as my wife will let me get away with.
How hard is it to make a hammer? One might think this is one of the most screw up proof tools. I stand corrected.
Probably a junk pot metal casting from china
This is why the Army pays 600 bucks for hammer. Not because it's 600 bucks worth of tool but because it takes 600 bucks worth of tests to make sure that they haven't been ripped off by the lowest bidder.

Anything B&D.
Used my rotary tool over the weekend as a laminate trimmer, installed a 1/4" flush trim bit, worked great!
Oh yes, the Automatic Bit Release Feature.. Nothing like it.. Scared the crap out of me enough to immediately stop working on the project and buy a real router.
99% of what's in Harbor Frieght.
Harbor Freight sold me a real nice furniture dolly. I don't know that it'd be possible to mess that up too much.
Exactly! I was routing a dado on a router table. When the bit came loose, it broke through the top of the work piece and scared me silly (although my brother who also inhabits the wreck might say that condition is congenital).
I have the same machine. On the advise of Keeter I tried a couple of wraps of electrical tape around the center of the idler drum to give it sort of a crown. It still sucks but I can get it to track somewhat.
Anybody remember WEN tools...
...
All dug out?
It's nice to see you're OK!
I remember Wen...
Yes. I had a POS Wen jig saw. I did finally did the right thing--threw it away.

Were those the square looking aluminum body tools?
I didn't buy it, but I have had the frustrating experience of using one of the new B&D jigsaws with the plastic wheel for locking down the baseplate, which completely ruins the tool. A wing nut would be vastly better.
I have a triangular detail sander that I dind less than useful. That seems to be the consensus on these, unless it's a Fein.
5" rotary sander for $25 from Grizzly. The vibration murders your hands, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to keep it from going wobbly and wrecking the wood. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I think I understand the concept of the sander, and this thing doesn't do it. Maybe I got a lemon.Nova wrote in news:JRsZg.5355$AR6.5341@trndny02:
Somebody, and it may have even been me, years ago, bought an electric WEN chain saw. That POS was certainly in the running for the prize. Ugh! Wouldn't cut anything right.

Had a Wen soldering gun. Put together a fair number of Heathkits with it.
