Tool Review: Maxus Aluminum Tank Air Compressor

I wrote up the Maxus EX8016 X-Lite compressor as an Editor's Choice product for our HGTVPro news show HGTVPro.com Weekly, but I only recently had a chance to use the tool for any length of time. While I don't usually run a double-coverage defense with products I include on the show, I was so impressed with the 4-gallon twin-stack unit and its bevy of smart features that a real-time review had to happen.

Bottom line. Let's start with the BL. I used the 1.3 horsepower, 3.7 SCFM X-Lite in the three highest-drain applications I encounter as a home-improvement contractor: nailing off sheathing, running a roofing gun, and using my old Shingle Saw Pro II. It kept pace through and through.

I had absolutely no issue with laddered nails while rapid firing 8d, ring-shank nails or popping off shingles. And I wasn't nailing into any brand new softy 2x10 SPF; I was gunning into 80-year old Doug fir 1x12 sheathing and 2x8 rafters. I drove four nails into every 1x12 board up the roof — a way tighter nailing schedule than 1/2- inch roof decking, wall sheathing or subfloor. My nailer never starved for air.

It's worth pointing out that the EX8016 is a heavy breather and really liked having a dedicated cord straight out of the power supply — it tripped the lame-o surge suppressor strip I use as a multi-plug (no surprise, no demerits) — but on its own 100-foot cord, it ran fine, even in temps right around freezing.

I also ran my Shingle Saw Pro II. This pneumatic shingle saw (no longer in production; it's been re-designed) gobbles air big time. Nevertheless, one-off shingle cuts were a snap. Impressive. And X-Lite recovered quickly when the tank drained.

Weight a minute. When a tool's weight passes a certain threshold — around 80 pounds — carrying it becomes an experience of both necessity and pure dread. Such is the case with most compressors I've owned. But — and I mean and ALL-CAPS-bold-italics BUT — the X-Lite's aircraft quality aluminum tanks drops this baby's gross vehicle weight to a mere 57 pounds. I won't say that's feather-light, but holy mack-o (as my daughter says), there's no comparison between the X-Lite and other compressors where the lift-and-lug process toggles between a serious chafe at the minimum to an exercise in blood-pressure management by week's end.

Details done right. Beyond the light weight, the Maxus designers kept pushing during their design charrettes and executed smart, savvy details that carry the X-Lite furlongs further towards top-of-el-heapo status.

It starts with a carry handle/roll cage that's aces. See, the compressor is cubic — roughly the same shape as other compressors in the class — but the handle is positioned to deliver optimum carry efficiency between truck and site or between floors. Combined with its lighter weight, you can practically carry it like a suit case without having a back surgeon on speed-dial.

The roll-cage part of the handle houses everything — supply lines, gauges and the pump motor, to name a few biggies — so that it'll be darn tough to break them when Bruno the Meatball javelins a shovel or stack of 2x6s into the back of your truck.

Speaking of the truck and cubism, the machine really is cubic! This means that there aren't hose fittings, gauges, cords, or round/odd shapes sticking beyond the tool's recti-linear perimeter. How much do I love this when loading the truck? Seriously, thanks, Maxus, for yet another weapon against entropy.

What I also love (but can't recommend, of course) is that because the tool really is cubic, if you happen to load something on top of it in the truck or gang box, so what? Certainly loading tool and kit boxes around it is easier than any other compressor I've used. This is really smart design.

Here's some other cool stuff:

· The +/- pressure dial is easy to see, read, locate and use.

· There are two (thank you, lord) air ports right on the front of the tool.

· The cord is long enough too. I like this for trim or floor jobs where I might have the compressor in the room with me and need to move it here and there for whatever reason.

· The gauges are easy to see and read.

· Rubber feet mean I don't have to worry about putting the tool down on a finished floor. Tip: placing any compressor in the finished space on a piece of cardboard helps curb possible damage to the floors.

· It has an oil-lube pump; I don't mind changing the oil in every so many — er — years.

My only complaint. I wouldn't be living up to the secret writer's code if I didn't find at least one thing 'wrong.' Seriously, you get nasty letters from the Writers Guild if you don't. Anyway, it's the same complaint I have with all compressors and one that's a super-easy fix: the drain valve. I'd swap out the existing valve (one of those backwards-threaded 1/2 inch twist deals) with a ball valve. 'Nuff said.

Maxus-ed out. If you ask me, the Maxus EX8016 X-Lite compressor is the current industry leader in this category.

Inch Shank Tools

What do you think that any beginning carpenter would really enjoy receiving as a gift? Tools! For a carpenter, their tools mean just about everything to them.

However, when you are looking at buying tools for a carpenter, you have to be aware of a lot of specific things. Just because you see what looks like a good price on a specific tool, does not mean that the piece will last and it is worth the cash. A great tool will be more expensive but in the end, it will do its job a lot longer and probably save you money in the long run since you will not have to replace it as often, if at all.

Sometimes you also have to be mindful of tools that come in a set. Usually you get a lot better quality if you can buy these items separately. That doesn't mean that you should not buy in sets because you can come across good deals this way at a good price. However, remember to just look closely at these things.

If you are not sure of any of these toolsets that you may want to purchase it might even be a good idea to bring an experienced carpenter with you as well!

Another person to get tips from is the sales clerks in the stores. If you go to a decent store, they have employees that know about their products and can recommend tools. Also, you may find that these sales people are hobby carpenters as well that know what they are talking about.

Deciding on the right tools for a carpenter can be a difficult job especially for a beginner carpenter but this quick advide may help at the tool store.

Benefits of Using a Drill/driver

Choosing the right drill can be a tedious process. With so many drills and drivers to choose from, and with each application requiring an entirely new set of tools, the options can seem endless and daunting. Tradesmen are always in a struggle against bits and bit changes, against drills that merely spin and lack the ability to drive; they fight with bits, batteries, and cords batteling their standard drills to just drive that screw better. But amidst war cries and unending rows of drills and drivers, there lies the drill/driver. And with that a calm decends over craftsmen everywhere knowing that this tool will simplify their lives.

The marriage between drill and driver is a unparalleled convenience. A drill/driver still works like a standard drill but has the capacity to drive screws and to drive them more effeciently than any ordinary power drill on the market. The drill/driver really is having your cake and eating it too combining the functionality of both a drill and a driver into one tool. This amplified functionality and total durability make the drill/driver a staple part of any craftsman's (or home-owner's) toolbox. Please read on for information on some of the industries leading drill/drivers from Makita, Hitachi and BOSCH.

The Makita 10.8v Compact Lithium Ion Cordless Drill/Driver Kit: Makita has nearly 90 years of experience in producing some of the industries best and most quality products. Their line of power tools is always reliable, always tough and their new compact cordless drill kit is no exception. This two speed drill/driver dishes out 200in/lbs of torque delivering famous Makita power in a comfortable, compact design. This distinct two speed feature (0-350 / 0-1,300 RPM) allows for a wide range of drilling and driving applications bringing the versatility of this tool to a whole new level. Its functionality, matched with the tool's uniquely Makita features, maximize productivity and convenience on the job. Weighing only 1.9lbs this drill/driver's ultra compact design markedly reduces operator fatigue, and its ergonomic shape offers simpler controllability and even pressure throughout. The tool also has a soft grip handle for increased operator comfort and control; and with the convenience and mobility of a cordless tool, this new Makita drill driver is truly an exceptional product.

Makita has designed this power tool with a built-in LED light to help illuminate your work space and increase safety. The drill/driver kit uses a 10.8v Makita lithium ion battery for maximum run time and extended battery life. Makita lithium ion battery technology offers superior battery power in a more light weight, more efficient package. With its sleek black and white design and practical, light weight construction, every homeowner should have this drill. Makita has engineered the DF030DW to be versatile, efficient, and compact; an ideal tool for hobbyists and home improvement projects - and yet still powerful enough for contractors and carpenters.

The Makita DF030DW is backed by Makita's exclusive battery technology and superior engineering; it also comes with two lithium ion 1.3ah batteries and a fifty minute battery charger. Additionally, the new kit includes a tool case, and tool holster for security and convenience, and a #2 double ended Phillips bit. Makita's cordless driver/drill kit comes with a three year factory warranty and a one year factory warranty on the batteries and charger.

The Hitachi 10.8v Lithium Ion Micro Drill/Driver: Hitachi's technology and durability is well known throughout the tool industry and their power tools are famed for their quality. Hitachi's micro drill/driver is a prime example of such innovation and value. Firstly, the 10.8v lithium ion micro drill/driver weighs a mere 1.8lbs for ultra compact convenience. The tool delivers 88 in/lbs of torque and has an unique 21+1 chuck with 21 torque settings and a drill mode for maximum accuracy and control. The chuck has a 1/4" hex and quick changes for easy bit replacement - it also spins in both forward and reverse to enhance drilling/driving capabilities.

The DB10DL is not only designed ergonomically for superior comfort, but also in a way that allows the drill to stand on its own when not in use. This ultra balanced tool weight reduces operator stress and fatigue through allowing the users wrist to remain aligned. Hitachi has also built this drill/driver with a LED light ring around the chuck to help keep work spaces light and safe. The tool has a variable speed trigger (0-400RPM) for maximum control over even the most intricate operations, and a battery charge indicator light conveniently designed to warn users when run-time is getting low. The DB10DL micro drill/driver runs with powerful Hitachi battery technology and with a patented charging system. This system prevents over heating and power loss, thus extending the overall life of the battery.

Hitachi's micro drill/driver, with it unique versatility, great features and compact size, is ideal for home-owners and hobbyists. Though the tool is still strong, it is most ideal for more precise and delicate operations. Its sleek and comfortable design and its supreme versatility qualifies this tool as the tiny giant of its class. Hitachi's 10.8v lithium ion micro drill/driver includes two 1.5 Ah (amp hours) lithium ion batteries, a quick charger, a Phillips driver bit and seven-piece bit set, and a durable carrying case. The tool also comes backed with Hitachi's industry-leading five year warranty.

The BOSCH 12v Max Litheon Impactor Fastening Driver: Throughout the tool industry, BOSCH is well known for their innovative design and exemplary quality. Their tools have a commanding reputation of power and durability, so it comes as no surprise that BOSCH has just introduced a new impactor fastening driver with the most force in its class. BOSCH's new 12v impactor is designed with a powerful hammer and anvil system that produces a huge 800in/lbs of torque. This amazing force offers up to 300 percent more torque than any other drill/driver to date. The driver is powered by a high performance motor that delivers 1,800 RPM and 3,000 BPM for serious, fast fastening and optimal tool performance. Additionally, the impactor is powered by BOSCH's supreme Litheon battery technology. Litheon batteries utilize lithium ion technology in a compact, lightweight design to optimize battery life, power, and runtime. The driver is also designed with a variable speed trigger for a wide range of speeds and applications. BOSCH's impactor uses a 1/4" hex quick change chuck that can instantly change from drill bits to driving bits for ultra efficiency and convenience.

BOSCH's new impactor (driver/drill), weighs in at only 2.2lbs, is sleek and compact, and still packs maximum power and superior force. The tool's ergonomic design and soft grip optimizes operator comfort and control. Furthermore, the PS40-2A has three built-in LED work lights in the front end of the tool to illuminate works areas and increase precision. To prevent slippage and to protect work surgfaces, the tool is designed with bumpers on either side.

With its light weight, superior functionality, and its maximum driving power and hammering action, this tool will simplify woodworking and home- improvement projects. With its comfortable size and industry leading torque, the tool is ideal for both installers and other serious carpenters, as well as for hobbyists. The tool is backed by BOSCH's reputation of power and durability, and their Provantage three year tool protection plan. BOSCH's impactor fastening driver also includes two Litheon 12v max batteries, a 30 minute charger, two 1.5" power driver bits, and a carrying case for security and convenience.

Belt Sander

can 1 piece of sandpaper from a belt sander handel a dresser?

the dresser is a normal 3 drawer dresser
answer soon
i need to know because i already have the sander and the sandpaper i just need to know so i can be sure i have enough
I THINK THE WOOD IS PARTICLE BOARD
i dont know what kind of wood it is

Well ... my first answer would be 'yes.' IF you're just trying to smooth it out a bit before repainting it. But --- you say 'handle a dresser.' If it is now painted and you are looking to sand it down to bare wood so you could then stain & varnish it: I would say 'no.' Because, in order to do that you would need to use progressively finer sheets of sandpaper in order to get out the scratches made by the previous (that is Heavier Grit) sandpaper that you used just before using that piece. That is: start with a really coarse piece of sandpaper - like 60 grit. Then go down to 80 grit. Then finish it all off with either 100, 120 or 150 grit depending on how hard the wood your sanding is. If the wood is relatively soft: you may need to finish it off with 100 then 120 then 150. If it is hard: you could probably just use 120. Hope this helps!

Drum Sander Basics: Enhancing Your Woodshop

First, What is a drum sander?
A drum sander is a particularly awesome woodworking machine designed to sand and finish large wood surfaces on a mechanism similar to a thickness planer. Drum sanders are available in a variety of sizes from 10"x20" to 26"x52 inches. This means that although the sanding belt is only 10 or 26 inches itself, the machine has one open side which allows you to pass your panel through once, flip it, and pass it through a second time. You can beautifully sand or finish an entire piece (up to 52") in just two passes. Within the drum sander the sandpaper moves on a continuous loop (like a planer) through a sanding drum. The abrasive sleeve is cylindrical and turns with motorized power on a cylindrical slotted drum. Drum sanders have a height adjustment to allow for around four inches, give or take, of thickness to be passed through. Operators adjust the machine's feed rollers, and height to accommodate their materials, then simply pass the wood through. The looped abrasive sleeve sands or finishes the material as it gently moves or pushes it out the other side. Most drum sanders offer pretty simple sand paper changes and deliver great results with much less bulk and much less price than a wide-belt sander.

Dual Drum Sander:
A dual drum sander has two sanding drums. This allows operators to use two different sanding belts with different grits. This means you can sand your panel with a rough grit and it finish with a fine grit in the same pass; a wonderful concept - sanding and finishing simultaneously. The dual drum is a bit more expensive, but it does save a great deal of time and energy.

Oscillating and Non-Oscillating:
Most standard drum sanders are non-oscillating, but don't let that get you down, they still perform with surprising smoothness. Oscillation technology is relatively new in drum sanders. The oscillation provides more movement in more directions for a smoother, finer finish to your products. The drum pushes the material forward and the oscillator moves the abrasive belt from side to side. This additional motion delivers a seriously smooth finish in much less time.

Pricing and Brands:
Drums sanders range in price from anywhere between $400 and $2,200. The more expensive models tend to have better dust collection and anti-vibration technologies, but most specifically, they are just bigger to accommodate bigger panels and larger projects.
Jet/Performax makes an awesome single drum sander, Steel City only manufactures a dual drum while Delta only makes a single; Powermatic makes a great dual drum sander. All of these are great brands to search for when looking into which drum sander best suits you and your professional needs.

Some drum sanders can be compact enough for a bench-top, while others are closer to the size of a washing machine. Because of this variety, craftsmen of all calibers and with all shop sizes can be satisfied and accommodated with a drum sander. This machine makes sanding and finishing a much easier, much cleaner, and much quicker process. With a drum sander craftsmen, carpenters, and woodworkers can be confident in their projects and products. Happy crafting!
