There are only 24 reviews under the tools section.... I think we all use tools all the time.

How about it (I know Im asking for more work) can we get some tool reveiws working?

While not a review per se, I did a Tools & Supplies feature: Model Maker's Toolbox.

Sorry, I only have tools that have been previously reviewed.

But I could really use that one above with the wood handle and the adjustable 4 pins.

Would also like to see something on the hand held PE tools. I don't have one I use the 2 razor method, mainly because by looking at one I can't figure out how it would be used. Senile I know.

If you do some reviews on those Great,
Thanks,
Bob


Ops, sorry guys, like I said Senile.

I'll say I'm going to jump in a do a Clamp review.

Here's an idea - if there isn't enough for a single review we can look at more of a feature that compares different manufacturers items. This can open up the format and not keep us bound to Rating per item with cost etc.

I will say - the review should have merit (not that anyone is suggesting anything less). It should give an objective realistic opinion on the function of the tool. You should try to get at least 200 - 300 words, long may be better. Put the tool to use and really describe how well it works (or doesn't), have pros, cons, etc. Is it a specialty tool you'll use one or twice a year, or will it find a home at the front of the tool drawer.

Works for me....... I think It could be a stand alone review........ But since they both can serve the same function..... A comparison might be more in order.
