 "Awesome!" 2010-07-21
By Danielle Conner
I love this product! The only negative comment I have is that it is hard to find in the stores! I stocked up once I found it on the internet. I clean the granite first, then polish it.

There is a big difference in the stone. It is shiny and smooth with the polish. I highly recommend using this polish!

Does an OK job of cleaning our granite countertop, but it typically leaves a visible film if you apply just a smidge too much.

 "It Does the Trick" 2010-06-26
By FreeAtLast (Newington, CT USA)
As have other reviewers, I received my initial bottle from the granite supplier who recommended that I use this for maintenance and do a sealing once a year or when water gets absorbed by the counter rather than sit atop of it in beads. His claim: Using the product extends the life of the existing sealer.



It works fine. Dull spots, outlines of dishes, and other signs of counter use disappear when the product is used. I don't notice a citrus scent or much of any scent at all -- which, to me, is preferable.

I've been using it for about 3 weeks for daily cleaning of our granite countertop, and I'm very happy with it. It easily cleans dry/wet spots, and it doesn't leave any smudges or film on the granite.

 "Works great" 2008-06-29
By K. Burge
We have a large kitchen granite countertop, travertine master shower floor, one marble bathroom countertop, and one granite bathroom countertop and so we use this stuff A LOT! I think that it works really well and has a a fresh scent. I did run into some problems with my shower floor when I could not get the tiles looking clean while using the product. I thought that it was because of soap scum and I called the customer service number for StoneTech and spoke to an extremely helpful representative, George, who talked me through the process of cleaning my tiles. He told me that I had mineral deposits on the tile and taught me how to remove the deposits. I was very impressed with his expertise and the customer service that was provided. The only minor complaint that I have is that I noticed that my local grocery store sells a product which is also manufactured by DuPont and costs a lot less than StoneTech Revitalizer. The packaging looks very similar and so I wonder if the products are the same but one just costs a lot more.

 "A week after I bought this, something better arrives" 2010-08-11
By John (Albuquerque, NM)
The BTD141 is a 2008 update/improved version of the BTD140: some improved internal parts (slightly higher max torque), slightly different appearance (mainly the plastic gearbox shroud), and a different chuck(This chuck allows you to push in a hex bit without pulling out the sleeve.) Not much difference from the older model, but I felt good about having the latest model when I bought this in the last week of May 2009.



A week after I bought this, Makita releases the evolutionary Bare-Tool Makita BTD144Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) with brushless motor on the US market. There is a reason why the BTD144 is the first tool in the Makita line-up to get the brushless technology: Impact drivers are known for their torque but not for their finesse. With the digital electronic control that brushless motors allow, you can have buttons that reduce the speed and torque instead of having to feather the trigger pressure(like you have to do on the BTD141). Even though it is $75 - $100 more than the BTD141, I would have probably sprung for the BTD144. Regardless, what's done is done.



The BTD141 has loads of potential torque and if you are not careful/skilled you can torque fasteners way beyond where they should be. I needed some practice with the trigger and doing short bursts to make a 3" screw flush with a wood surface. Getting the right pressure on the trigger as you are driving a screw does not come naturally, especially if you've only used a drill as a driver.



The ergonomics on this, as with all Makita LXT tools, is superb. Very comfortable and balanced with "grippy" molded rubber in all the right places.



It is loud, but it's supposed to be loud; it's an IMPACT driver.



You can use this driver with the smaller 1.5 amp Makita batteries without making any modifications. (See user picture above) Thus, it can virtually become the smaller, lighter BTD142HW.

 "Favorite Tool" 2010-07-11
By Daltex (Dallas, TX)
If you drive screws and/or bolts with any frequency then you have to get this tool. I use it with the small battery and it feels like it weights 1/2 of the weight of a drill. Drives 3 and 4" screws all day and doesn't tire out your wrist. I already had the drill set so just bought the bare tool and couldn't be happier.



Price on this thing is all over the board and I bought it here on Amazon for quite a bit less than I found on ebay after weeks of looking. Price does change so when it dropped I jumped on it. Now that I have it I should have just bought it as it's truely my favorite tool.



I recommend getting a 6" #2 phillips head bit, 3/8" socket adapter and small 1.5 battery if you don't have these. I also use nut driver bits alot.

By C. Lam (San Mateo, CA)
This tool came in boxed and in new condition as described, sooner than expected. It works like a charm! My first project was to drive 3.5" wood screws to do some framing work on my house. This tool had no trouble at all!! I used it with the battery pack I already had (bought the tool only, w/no batteries). It is so powerful, on my 2nd project, it actually shattered 2 of my P2 drive bits, so watch for that (and always wear safety glasses).

 "nice enough, but torque does not meet specs" 2010-04-29
By Just_Me (New Jersey, USA)
I love my mate to this, the 18V Li-ion hammer drill/driver.



i bought this tool (bare), with its rated 1330 (111 lb-ft) in-lbs of torque, to easily perform a bunch of automotive functions, primarily removing and re-installing lugs nuts quickly. The 3 cars i have have nut specs of 86, 88 and 92 lb-ft - all well under its capability.



It wont break them loose - at least not in any reasonable length of time. So my conclusion is, it does not meet specs. I did call Makita and the vendor, but to no avail. So my only recourse is to warn others. Its at best marginal.

 "Very Good, but quality control is lacking" 2010-05-27
By M. Burns (CA, USA)
The guide is heavy duty all right, but Milwaukee needs to either find a new Chinese supplier or fire the inspector at the current plant. The guide rods had crude plating and surface imperfections. They wouldn't fit into the calibrated edge guide when trying to assemble the unit. It took a hammer and file to make it fit together. Once this was done, everything worked as it should.

By Martha of The Rosenbach (Philly)
I agree with many of the reviewers that as delivered this guide is difficult to adjust, however, I applied a small amount of Molycote to the adjustmet thread and sliding compound to the attachment rods and other sliding surfaces and the unit works great. It is a shame that many products today are shipped incomplete with respect to lubrication and adjustment but globilization and lack of company pride allows otherwise goon products to be shipped in a JUNKY state.

 "I don't understand the low reviews." 2010-01-20
By Ligster22
I have just received my router edge guide. It fits great. It works as advertised. Fine adjustment is just that. You use the fine adjustment to slowly fine tune your measurements. The instructions are vague but you don't really need a manual to figure it out. There is a third knob on the bottom that allows for the fine adjustment that moves the aluminum t guide in a shuttle. You loosen the two side knobs to get it to close to your measurement and then tighten them down. Then you loosen the bottom knob (not really pictured in the photo) and you turn the fine adjustment knob. This will allow you to dial it in to your exact measurement. It is that simple. It does what it says. I strongly disagree with the negative reviews and I am just getting started in wood working.

 "JUST WHAT YOU NEED !!" 2009-11-02
By Brian (Indiana, USA)
In reading some of the previous reviews it seemed just ok. After recieving this product im not sure why. I feel like Milwaukee did a great job with this edge guide. I work with furniture mostly. This edge guide is not so bulky that it interferes with your work. It does not have complicated frills like the Bosh and is not plastic like parts of the DeWalt (which i own). This edge guide is just like all other Milwaukee products...durable and made to last. The core is aluminum. All other is metal. To adjust the fine micro you need to loosen only ONE knob that is hidden in the picture that is just below the aluminum body. Once this is loosened you simply turn the metal screw to adjust. Once adjusted secure it there by tigntening the ONE knob and your done ! There is no need to loosen all screws like i have read? As these are metal on metal parts out of the box it helps to put some light oil or WD40 for smooth action.

 "Nice Improvement" 2010-08-09
By DanPro
I have recently used the new batteries and without a doubt see the improvement in performance. I use them mostly with my cordless drill and just like others have mentioned the batteries and charger do not fit in the drills case. I modified my plastic case by cutting the battery area a little larger and can now fit both batteries in the case(no battery on drill). I store the charger separately. I retired my new Hatchet saw because it never had enough power with the 18v nicads. I tried the new batteries on the Hatchet and the tool is brought back to life. The lights on the battery to show charge level is nice and functions well. I may purchase more of these if I catch them on sale. Four stars only because they don't fit in the case.

By Jeffer
Lots of products out there to meet this need. Porter's unit is well built, feels solid, easy to operate, and a great entry price-point. I'm not a professional upholstery fabricator, I'm re-doing my boat upholstery and am using this unit with my Porter-Cable compressor, using 3/8" x 3/8" stainless steel staples and it's been great. And I'm confident that I could complete my job, and turn it around in near new condition on EBay and get 80-90% of my money back!



One hint, adjust the air on your gun and test staples. At the higher end of the range it'll set the staples so far that the fabric will pull out (depending on your material and base). I had to run it on the lowest setting in the recommended range, which was as low as my regulator would adjust.



I definitely recommend this unit. Also, great vendor as well!

 "WOW, great tool and Recommded" 2009-11-05
By Electric Z (Oregon)
Upon receiving this stapler I was using it within 10 minutes of the UPS delivery. It came with the air fitting already installed. I slapped some 1/2" staples in it and I was off working. It has a great ergonomic handle that feels great in your hand and is lightweight. My wife likes it too!



The stapler is of the high Porter-Cable expected quality. It made short work of my first project and expect many more hours of use. This tool is made for working. As fast you can pull the trigger the staples are set deep and no jamming. Recommended and the price was very reasonable.



Here it is a month later and wanted to add a couple thoughts since first purchase. First, it is working great and I am very happy.



Next, some have commented about a possible safety feature missing in that staples can be freely shot out, (no device needs to be pushed against the object being stapled first). After using it a lot, quite frankly I would find it a nuisance if there was such device. When working with fabric or some other material it would be a major impediment to have to reposition the stapler, push down and then pull the trigger. When stapling many staples with its current design you can just slide the stapler to the next position pull the trigger and move on. Much more efficient and faster.

By JKJ
Bought one of these through Amazon (refurbished), and have had it for several months. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does it very well. It is great for blowing off the patio and driveway, and getting rid of leaves that find their way into the garage. Some reviewers have commented that two batteries are needed or desirable for this product; I have found that not to be true, even though the one I bought came with two batteries. When one is low, I just recharge it, and keep on going. Definitely a product I would recommend for light duty blowing.

 "great for the wood worker!!!" 2010-07-06
By S. Schisler
I'm a hobbiest woodworker. After a few hours in the shop, planing, jointing, cutting, routing and sanding; dust is everywhere and on everything. I do what I can with dust collection efforts but because my workshop doubles as a garage and at the end of the day I have to be able to pull a car in, I don't have the room for a dedicated dust collection system. In the past I had resigned myself to wipping down everything in the garage at the end of the day, then sweeping everything into one area and finishing with the shop vac. Needless to say this is time consuming and not something I look forward to doing. Those days are a thing of the past. I bought this blower at my local lowes store. Setup was a breeze. slide on two nozzle pieces, slide in the battery and your up and running. The item is light weight and quiet. Does not require hearing protection. I put away my tools and then break out this machine. Now, instead of wipping down everything in the shop I just run the blower over them. The stream of air is strong enough to move small pieces of scrap wood out of the garage and into one spot so I don't have to bend over a dozen times from one side of the shop to the other. Sawdust can be blown right out into the yard for good composting. What took me close to an hour to do with a broom and shop vac now takes about 5 minutes with this blower. Also this unit will operate with any of the 18 volt batteries from B&D so I just use whatever juice is left in the batteries I was working with for that day. This blower will eat some battery power pretty quick thou. The air stream starts to get pretty weak if you go longer than 10 to 15 minutes on a fresh battery. So if your in a situation like me where you don't need cat 5 hurricane force winds to do your job and your job doesn't require a lot of time, then this blower is perfect. Anything that allows me another 45 minutes of woodworking time instead of cleaning time gets 5 stars from me.
