I'm an apprentice joinery carpenter, would this combo set be appropriate? or look elsewhere? Thanks

Yes beyond a doubt this combo would be an excellent set for any carpenter apprentice or professional. It will last you a long time is powerful and very well designed.

The illustration is of an older model - it does matter. The current models are significantly improved. That aside, absolutely yes, regardless of your level of experience. Get the current version, and you may still be using then as a journeyman.Upon closer examination, I realize that these are the up-to-date models. Enjoy...

I'd say the Dewalt is really a decent saw and would benefit from this miter. I don't think it'd be overkill.

I actually got the CTK70MP for $50. My set only has 2 ratchets (the 170 has 3), and I did not get the pliers, crescent wrench, channel locks, or the screw drivers. I have used my set for changing brake pads and engine oil, and I am happy with the quality of the tools, but now that I see this one, I am a little envious. I think you should go for it! :D

I have a Craftsman and the blades work well with it. My friend has the one from Harbor Freight and it works for him. There are a multitude of grooves coming off the center hole to accommodate most any multimaster tool.

No. ...im 250# and i lay in them on occasion with my boys one of which is 70# the other is 50 some # the wood is isn't the best tha5s for sure ..the screws striped out very easy..if your not careful. .but im a metal fabricator/welder and hold a high quality standard..like bolts/ screws being very tight ..blah blah ...overall i would recommend this set ..especially because any other full over full bb is alot more money ..so if the budget is tight this would be great ..but if you have no problem spending more $ then buy hard wood

It is a very good quality set. The corners will get slight rust in the welds, but will hold up well. I use mine for a mobile business and it is very durable.

Yes. This is a really well devised set. You wont be disappointed. Certainly worth the small price. I just used a 1/2" Flush Trim bit from this set yesterday.

I wouldn't think so. This is a basic set, nothing custom. For our purposes, we needed an inexpensive set, so aesthetics were not a concern.

Not really...I use it just for delicate work...the drill & impact driver combo would be your ideal duo period

I suspect the answer to this question will be difficult to ascertain. I replaced an existing Kwikset handle set and thought that it would be safe because Baldwin and Kwikset and now both owned by Black and Decker (IMO the lower end Baldwin sets are now more like high end Kwikset ... still way nicer than the Kwikset and Schlage I've owned in the past). Still, the hole for the bottom handle (the small one where the bottom of the handle meets the door) did not line up and I still haven't been able to work out a solution. It is not a big deal because it is mostly just aesthetic and if I can find the right machine screw I can fix it, just haven't been able to yet. The previous owners had also never installed a deadbolt so I measured and drilled for that separately. If I already had a door drilled for a deadbolt I probably would have gone with a handle set that had a separate dead bolt. All that said, if this is the set your really want, Amazon does have great customer service and a pretty liberal return policy so if it did not fit you could return with little difficulty. The handle set is very nice otherwise and I am quite pleased, although I saw some disturbing Youtube videos of fishtail attacks that were possible against these kind of SmartKey locks. I might not have bought them had I already seen those, but I had already bought and installed Baldwin SmartKey locks for the whole house before I did. They are still really nice locks and I do really like the ease of re-keying and fact that I was able to make all locks work off the same key without a locksmith so I guess you have to weigh those factors. Here are some rough measurements I took from my door if these help at all: Center Dead Bolt Cylinder to Center Handle Cylinder: 5.5" Center Handle Cylinder to Center Bottom Handle: 8.25"

I can't answer this precisely in terms to the nearest decimal place, but I can say that they work fine for my semi-pro woodworking needs. If you are a machinist working with tight tolerance, buy a better set. For the average buyer looking at them, it's probably all you need. Hope this helps.

The brackets themselves are plenty strong. It's going to depend on your fasteners. If you can drive all your screws into solid wood like a good mirror frame and wall joists, I think these would be plenty strong. If you can't screw directly into joists, or you just want to make absolutely sure nothing is going to move, just use 1-2 additional brackets on your items. Oh, and feel free to use longer screws if you want. (I did all of the above when I hung a heavy picture.)

I found it to be safe but I've got some kind of experience in dealin gwith such type of tools. But , f.e. my wife doesn't have such experience and I wouldn't give her this machine to operate. One point more-the very basic tech knowledge is in need to assemble it

I have two and had a handyman put together. He had no problem. Look great but haven't used them yet.

Yes. I've been using this for two years. It is great for anyone whether they're doing P90-X, standard lifting, etc. I'd go with this combo specifically too. Doesnt take up too much room and makes for easier weight adjustment. Almost no assembly so he can get right to work!

If you purchase the domino set, those items are included: Combination set includes: Domino DF 500-Plus Joiner, DOMINO cutter D 5mm, Support Bracket, Operating Tool, Trim Stop, Cross Stop, Plug-It Power Cord, and T-LOC Systainer #2 storage container. To get the additional cutters, they come with the assorted domino tenons or you can buy them separately. I have used all sizes of the cutters so these are necessary for working with different thicknesses of wood. I do a lot of garden furniture so I have also ordered the mahogany tenons for a outdoor projects. This tool is expensive but it is a dream to work with. WL

The difference is what you said basically. The bigger the tool the bigger the job usually. If you want a set for around the house, I would look around on here for a 3/8 in set. Or you could go to auto zone or sears and get a set for probably around 50-70 dollars.
