This Old Workshop began our tool tests back in 1995. Since that time we have reviewed a long list of tools, jigs and supplies. Now our tests are preformed in our Clovis, California location. . When testing we take into consideration many aspects including performance, price for value, shop necessity.
Performance: We will consider several factors when grading performance. Asking questions like,
- Did the equipment perform as well as the manufactor says it should?
- Is it easy to use, adjust and clean?
- Is it well built?
- Is the overall quality of the equipment up to standards?
- Is this a tool that will last and hold up under use?
Price for Value: In the economy of today's shop budgets, is the tool "worth" having for the price.
- Is the tool a good value for what it produces?
- Is the price worth paying for in exchange for time savings?
- Is maintenance, or supplies too expensive?
- How does the price and quality relate to the competition?
- Does the tool retain its resale value?
Shop Necessity: Is this something you must have in your shop.
- Is this tool something you should have?
- Is this equipment a requirement or a luxury?
- Is this tool going to collect dust? or be a favorite tool?
