Prazi USA PR9000 Putty Chaser Review

I was excited when I saw this product advertised, and I was equally horrified the first time I used it. I have very old glazing and this product simply would not work. I managed to destroy the first window I tried it on and that was it. There is really no way to effectively practice using this thing, so good luck for you first-timers. I returned mine.

Designed for the do-it-yourselfer or professional, this "putty chaser" is the answer to removing hard window glazing putty quickly, easily, and economically. This tool removes old, dried putty in seconds, leaving your sash with a bright wood finish -- and it eliminates cracked glass and damaged sashes. Window removal is not necessary, and storm window frames can be left in place. The putty chaser attaches in seconds to any 2,000 to 3,000 rpm, 3/8-inch or 1/4-inch electric drill. The carbide cutter ensures long life.

SE Diamond Hole Saw Set (6 PC) 5/32 "- 1/2" Review

SE Diamond Hole Saw Set (6 PC) 5/32 - 1/2
Average Reviews:

I purchased this set for drilling holes in some extremely hard porcelain tile. They worked exactly as needed. We ran them at a slower speed and kept them well lubricated with water while cutting/grinding. I can't speak to their long-term durability since we needed to make less than a dozen holes. I would suspect that with their small size and small cutting surface their useful life would be somewhat limited. Having said that, they were exactly what we needed since no other drill would make a dent in the tile. The nice size selection allows you create the exact hole size needed. Overall, I was very pleased with the price/performance ratio.
This was purchased from hobbytoolsupply here on Amazon and shipping was extremely quick.

Dremel 565 Multi Purpose Cutting Kit 565D Review

I bought this specifically for cutting holes in drywall for electrical boxes, but I have since found that it has many uses beyond that.
What I have found:
- As someone else has stated, the depth gauge is a little inaccurate. You will have to sight the depth for this (which is best anyway.)
- Made of quality materials. You've come across that cheap plastic before; this is not that stuff. This has taken a few drops, so far.
- The drywall bits seem to wear out quicker than I planned on. I have only cut 10 holes for electrical outlets and it seems to take longer to cut each time I use it. The first hole I cut went fast and smooth; whereas the last one that I just cut took three times as long, and twice as much pressure.
- The bit will tend to 'walk' if you don't have firm control over it. (I know, I know, this seems obvious, but maybe not to everyone.) Use of a guide or fence should help control the outcome of your results.
- Does NOT tear drywall. Smooth cuts on both sides -- smoother than my Greenlee drywall/keyhole saw.
- You'll need to use the mini-chuck with the guide. The bigger chuck won't allow the guide to screw down. (I think everyone got one with their main Dremel unit, but I'm not sure.)
- Holding a vacuum hose or air nozzle to one side of the guide will greatly increase your sight. This thing kicks up some serious dust, and unless the light is good, the line you're following may be difficult to see.
I highly recommend this product for those finish cuts on drywall where a saw just won't leave the edges smooth. If you plan on cutting more than 20 holes in drywall, I'd pick up another bit or two.

The drywall bits allow you to quickly cut drywall for electrical boxes, air vents and other wall features. It's best to use drywall bits in a clockwise direction. The multipurpose cutting bit prepares an area for light fixtures and ceiling fans and makes cut-outs in cabinets, paneling and fiberglass. Includes: a cutting guide attachment; two drywall cutting bits; and one multipurpose bit.
