How accurate is this kit? Planning on switching from Salifert as I think this will reduce my costs some, seems easier to use with hand tool?

I am not buying the hype of expensive test kits. I have always used the cheaper kits and have never had any issues. There are instances where you need to be as close as possible to an exact reading but I've found close enough is good enough. Go cheaper in this case.

I have a table saw and choose to use my festool ts 75 instead. It is quicker and cuts perfect straight cuts. Z germans know how too make fine tools which makes life easier.

Go with the Craftsman if you can afford it. Craftsman is always a better option.

I occasionally check it against my "glass torque wrench", one that I keep calibrated and only use to test. I found this to be absolutely accurate and consistent. I did what you wrote, bought a 1/2 and use a 3/8 adapter when necessary. Of course use a quality, short adapter to maintain accuracy.

With this kit you will need die set,case trimmer, I choose the lee die set and lee trimmer they are a good value and accurate a caliper either dial or digital that should about do it ,if you run across crimped brass hornaday makes a good primer pocket reamer and one of the best bullet pullers in case you seat your bullets to deep or make mistakes along the way me myself I chose a tumbler to clean the brass and a decapping die along with a digital scale ,a rcbs case lube pad with neck cleaning brushes and a few other goodies along my way

It will probably be more accurate than your $5 angle gauge, but it will not be easier. Setup is complex; I still have to read the instructions every time I want to use the angle settings or change the torque presets. I bought the Eastwood because the AC Delco 1/2" torque wrench, which is much easier to use, tops out at 136Nm when I mostly use it for a nut that gets 146Nm. I bought this model because why not get the angle torque for a few bucks more over the regular model? Anyway, it's worked well for me, including putting angle torque on head bolts, but it's not easy to use.

I can only assume your alignment issue accrues when your using the guide fence. I do not use my hand plainer ( yet) with this attachment. but now you have me curious. if the tool company (s) are using Amazon to distribute faulty tools, then this review blog is very helpful. I suggest we always be dilatant with the checks and balance systems we are provided to protect us as consumers. but I must say this tool has performed perfect for me...

Be sure to buy quality tools, such as Wiha, Fluke, Knipex, etc. Don't always go for the cheapest or the minimum. You will thank yourself later.

Thank you for all your responses. I just wanted to make sure, it would help if there was a little more info in the description. I will be purchasing this kit.

Today I checked at my local ACE Hardware store to compare them. They are not the same. Though similar these are in my opinion a much better quality tool than the one at Ace. The all metal pruner is super easy and efficient and comfortable to use. Well worth the price. Good Luck

I borrowed a MGW sight tool from a friend of mine. I was easy to use. The tool is on the expensive side at $99 but a quality piece.

I just bought the hobart 190. I am waiting for delivery. I spent 2 weeks decideing between the hobart and the eastman. I decided welders are like golf clubs. If you buy cheap you will never know whether is you or the machine that laid the ugly weld. In my case it will take the excuses away.

I think you would be better off with your own guide from plywood. Just check out saw guide on You Tube. I am sorry I bought this , as I did go back to my plywood guide. The kregg guide is just to flimsy and not accurate, slips out of line with your cut.

I wish that someone who has the TRIO would respond. According to the TRIO instruction, the small bits that work with all OTHER Dremel tools, do NOT work with the TRIO. Could someone please respond about this kit working with TRIO?

hey delores, i bought this kit and for the money was great... i don't know how large or small you are going with them but the spaces between the grit might be too great if your pieces are quarter size or smaller! i have no doubt it will polish, just don't know your process. any more questions i'll try to answer, mike

In my opinion it is as accurate as the person using it. If you need perfect cuts then you should probably use this one for rough cuts and a table saw for precision. If you are making plywood cabinets for the garage this one probably will work well enough as long as the operator uses care. It can make pretty accurate cuts using a clamp down fence which is also available on http://amazon.com. Kreg KMA2675 Kreg Rip-Cut and/or E. Emerson Tool Co.
