The clearcut is an excellent accessory. I still have one.
Do you know where I can get a hold of another one?
Thanks, Greg

I turned to hiring tools a while ago as I do odd jobs around the place and for other people, I find most of the time I need a specialist tool or piece of equipment that I almost never have. When you weigh up the cost of hiring as opposed to buying, like you said will I ever use the tool again or regularly to warrant a purchase. I found a website called http://www.rentorhire.com.au a little while ago. But it allows me to browse what tool i need. I think its a bit more then a plaint directory website, its actually been quite useful for me and I have referred onto others who were looking to hire other bits and pieces.. its worth to have a look.. but anyway.. especially for me I find hiring tools etc allot cheaper for what I do anyway..

i am looking for a tool you said sharpened mower blades and cannot find the manufacturer. or where to get it i would really like to find this and any help would be greatly appreciated. love the show as a carpenter for years i gain a lot of knowledge and tips from your show. I ALSO HAVE A TIP FOR A SKILSAW . IT IS CALLED CLEAR CUT BY D&K ENGINEERING OUT OF SAN CARLOS CALIFORNIA.BOUGHT IT ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO AND IT IS FANTASTIC.KNOW HOW YOU HAVE TO BLOW A LINE OFF WHEN RIPPING. THIS TOOL USES THE AIR FROM THE MOTOR AND BLOWS THE LINE OFF . WAS A TRAVELLING CARPENTER FOR YEARS AND EVERYWHERE I WENT, NOBODY KNEW ABOUT IT. SKIL DOES NOT RECOMMEND IT BUT HAVE USED IT FOR 15 YEARS AND NEVER BURNT UP A SAW OR HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT…….CARPENTERS NEED TO KNOW
