Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool. in Industrial Hardware

New Craftsman owners are really trying to thrive under this old name after years of decay. This and another air tool I have from them are particularly good examples of a premium product. Yes, pneumatics are easy and reliable when leaving; I think that's why so many icon replacement brands always look so crude and simple. On the plus side, this one has a really well thought out spindle and cage locking system which shows they put thought into the design. ; They are anything but usual. And I think the very variable speed and reverse knob (which seems pretty accurate) is something you don't always get in an air tool. But the finishing touch is definitely the rubberized finish - it looks just as good up close as it does to the touch, and while primarily aesthetic, the entire instrument feels like something to be proud of and want to look after. and keep forever. And it lives up to the Artisan name, which is some of the first good news I've heard from our companies in a long time. , just snippets of it in EMT and All-Thread if I'm careful. I can do this more comfortably than with an angle grinder equipped with a diamond blade. And I had more precise cuts than I normally would with a portable band saw (but that might be my problem). Black because it looks better than the regular metallic colors that most people have. Also, I hate stamped metal tools for each of my tools, but if they could figure out a way to get those things on board that would be even better. Regardless, it's a great tool.

Pros
  • Minimum recommended air hose size: 3/8 inch
Cons
  • Something Else
