Here are a few reviews of the various tools that I own.  I try to be critical in my reviews.  There is nothing worse than a reviewer who insists that he has never made a bad purchase and that every tool he owns is flawless and wonderful.  Reviews like that have no value to the reader.  Over time, I go back and revisit my reviews just to make sure they are still inline with my current impression.

I do not review tools until I've used them for a few months.  If I was buying based on somebody's review I would want them to have more than a few hours with the tool.  Finally, all of these tools were bought by me.  So far, I haven't received any free tools for review purposes but I'm willing to review them if you're willing to let me try them out.
