I see a LOT of tools listed on EBay from a company called "O'Malley". They do state that their tools are from China and Taiwan, but for some reason they do look a bit better than some (I am speaking about the biscuit joiner and the plunge router specifically).
I find it strange that there is essentially no chatter anywhere about them being good or not.
Anyone tried either the biscuit joiner and/or the plunge router from O'Malley?.
Thanks...
I bit the bullet and purchased their biscuit joiner about 8 months ago. Since I never used any of the other big name joiners, I can't compare, but I'm very pleased with this tool. I've probably only cut about
40-50 slots with it so far, but it's worked perfect up to now.Blackadder III wrote:
Hmm... Not a lot of Chinamen names O'Malley...
I've heard relatively good reviews on these tools. You get what you pay for, but I think they are on-par or better than what you generally get from Harbor Freight, which in my opinion is reasonably good stuff for the weekend woodworker.

Not a lot named "Chicago Tools" either.

It's just to the right of "Parental Controls". AOL's version has three options. Pick "Posting".
