Senco Fusion Nailer First Impressions

Aug 19, 2010 Stuart Discuss

We recently received a Senco Fusion angled finish nailer for review, and after charging its 18V battery this morning I felt compelled to fire off a few test nails. Driving in those first nails was extremely satisfying. My first impression was that the Senco did not at all seem short on power, although it did feel a […]

Aug 16, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

I rarely work with retaining snap rings, but when I do they sometimes come at me in waves of different styles and sizes. While my changeable multi-tip internal and external snap ring pliers are great to use, changing those tips out many times in a single project can be quite tedious.

Aug 12, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

Proper tire inflation provides for optimal performance and fuel economy, but also makes your vehicle safer to drive.
