egoldeng says "Craftsman Drill a Nearly Perfect Tool" about Craftsman 9.6 volt Cordless Drill/Driver

Nice Drill for around the house and for the DIYer. Battery gives fairly long life and drill has good power for a 9.6 volt drill. Chuck grips well and no need to keep track of a chuck key. Built in LED light is strong and comes in handy at times. Drill is well made and inexpensive enough to classify as a great buy and a nice item to just have around for the small jobs that might pop up.

egoldeng says "Nice Point and Shoot" about Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5

I have had my Panasonic LZ5 for a while now and have taken hundreds of pictures. This is an eay to use camera for the technically challenged. Good sharp pictures and enough optical zoom to get good shots from far away. Image is stablized for those long zoom shots not becoming blurred. Good battery life and picture quality except be careful of lens flare on bright sunny days with a high sun...many of your pictures may come out with a vertical line down the whole picture....

egoldeng says "Good for Home Use" about Craftsman 18" Chain Saw

I purchased this 18 inch Craftsman chain saw in Sept of 07. I got tired of paying someone to cut up medium trees that were being toppled after storms. I had previously used a 14 inch electric but it was just not powerful enough for all but the lightest jobs. The Craftsman 18 inch starts easily if you follow the instructions. If you already think you know how to start a saw and fail to follow the instructions you will have a hard time starting it. Saw cuts well as long as you keep the chain sharp. The fastest way to dull a chain in to touch the ground with the rotating chain while using it. I would guess that this saw would be at it's best in light duty around home use. The tool-less chain tension adjuster works well and is easy to use but after every use it would be a good idea to remove the bar and adjuster assembly and clean out all loose debris. The adjustment works much better the next time you go to use it. Remember this is not an industrial chain saw and neither is the price expensive......
