Craftsman Bolt-On or Black&Decker Matrix?

Shopping around for the old man, he wants either one of these since he only does light duty. Any chance that someone here recommends one over the other?

I have the craftsman bolt-on system and have been pretty impressed. Be aware that this is a very light duty, simple system. Don't expect a lot out of any one of the tools. For example, the rou... (read more)

It did. I think I'll go with the Bolt-On, more people seem to be experienced with that.

Ikea is cheaper in so many ways. As the engineers say - fast, cheap, good, choose 2. With Ikea you get 'fast, cheap' but not good (quality). It is OK if it is what you want/need, but it i... (read more)

Light Use

I've used it for light work, mostly working on the interior of my Jeep. The power is there for basic drilling, and got me through everything I needed. If you're going to be doing stuff aroun... (read more)

Differences between oil types?

I recently bought a new '99 Subaru Outback, and after a trip around Lake Michigan it's looking like time for an oil change, but the past owner lost the owner's manual.

Because you live in a state that experiences cold winters and hot summers, I would recommend using 5W30 in the winter and 10W30 in the summer. If you're wondering, the 5W is the Winter thickness... (read more)
