Introduction

It is always fun to test out tools for review, but it is especially fun when you know the tool you will be testing is something you need, or will make life easier. Such is the case with the Work Sharp 3000. Like me, I am sure a lot of carpenters have tools such as chisels and hand planes that get used and abused at work on a daily basis; but how often do those tools get the good sharpening they need to perform at their best. In the past I have used everything from belt sanders to mini grinders to try and get a half decent edge on a chisel, but have never even come close to a true square sharp edge. Even brand new chisels do not have a nice clean sharp edge that will last, that is unless you are spending the big bucks on chisels.

I don't know what you would use this for, but you have to be impressed and amazed by the design and craftsmanship that went into building this. Check out the video after the Read More.

Are you looking for a great deal on a scroll saw? eBay has a good selection from time to time, with choices that range from the very worst of the worst to the best of the best and sometimes quality is in the eye of the beholder.

Take a look at this 1931 24" Delta scroll saw for example. The current bid is only $20 and $60 for shipping. With a little luck you could own this antique scroll saw for your personal tool collection or home projects.

Need something with a lot less rust? How about a top of the line Hegner Multimax 22V Variable Speed Scroll Saw Package. The starting bid on this beauty is only $1095.00 with $98 for shipping. It may seem like a high price for a scroll saw, but you are actually saving around $700 because the saw is a "barely used" demo unit. It comes with everything you need to get started, including blades, a stand and even includes a 5 year warranty. For more information on Hegner Scroll Saws check out Advanced Machinery.

I am still searching for a great deal on a scroll saw for myself, preferably a Hegner for around a hundred bucks.

What is with the price on this Werner Ladder... Over $300 for a 3-foot ladder?

At first I thought this was a mistake by Amazon, but when I did a search on Google for the same model number. I got some results that were not much cheaper ($262 - $286). Since it does not appear to be made of gold or silver, I can only assume that it is some type of limited collectors edition... or maybe like electronics, smaller means more expensive.
