rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rumpel2 - Do watering restrictions make it hard to keep your lawn watered during the summer? Or do you prefer to water your lawn when it does the most good? Vancouver may be on the Wet Coast of Canada, but the summer rainfall isn't distributed evenly enough to...

A good basic bench grinder. But "basic" is the operative phrase here.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rumpel2 - I've been thinking about adding a bench grinder to my workshop for some time. When Sears offered the Craftsman 6" model (in Canada, Model No. 152.287160) at a price reduction of nearly 50%, I decided to grab it. It's a good basic grinder. The bells...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rumpel2 - The time had come to replace our old Silver King barbeque. The POL tanks needed to be recertified but couldn't be connected to a current model BBQ; the lava rock rack was on its last legs, and there was maybe one more season's use left in the burner...

A moment of insanity (I should have more like this one!)

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rumpel2 - It started when my old Black & Decker cordless screwdriver decided that it would no longer take a charge. (No surprise -- it was more than 10 years old). So I started keeping an eye on local offerings, and it wasn't long before I saw a Sears flyer...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rumpel2 - Are there times when you think about pulling out your Palm to make a note in it — then hesitate because you just know it's going to take too long to tap your way to a place to put that note in your Palm?

Slap just might turn the...

I'm a reasonably competent computer user — I can usually make them work, given enough time. But I am no expert when it comes to networking. Normally, I leave all that stuff to the techies in my office and just complain to them...

Nice update to the Ryobi DP100

Thu, 16 Jan 2003 06:47:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rumpel2 - I gather that the DP101 is the successor to the DP100, having added features such as a table crank and a dial-type depth stop that were missing from the DP100. The basic specs appear identical: 1/2" chuck, 2.5" spindle travel, 1/4hp induction motor, 5...
