So after watching a lot of your videos I end buying a tool or something useful for the shop since I'm trying to get a side hustle going on top of being a full time LEO. Well my wife got to the point every time she heard your voice or saw your video she would roll her eyes and ask "what are you buying this time?" Well for the last few months I have been taking care of her, cancer sucks, but I was watching this this morning when I got home from work. She was awake and heard your voice, she said "been awhile, whatcha buying this time?" She hasn't forgot lol. I told her she could buy me the Woodpecker rule since its the only one small and cheap enough lol.
Hi Matt. This comment is mis-placed but I want you to know I purchased the Ridgid track saw based on several reviews, including yours. Here's the thing...since you posted videos on it, Ridgid came out with a pkg deal to include the 60 inch track. It is selling at $488. I patiently waited for a Home Depot promo (10% off purchase of $299 or more) to be mailed to me. It recently came and I made the purchase. The next day I was back on the HD site looking for something and to my surprise the track saw was a daily special, selling at $339! That's 31% off! The sale was only good for 18 more hours. I went to my local HD and the good people there took care of me, cancelling my order and entering a new one at the better price! Woohoo! Thanks for the great, fair and honest review.
Another commentator was right - this is a shopping channel. The potential issue is that people think that these tools will make you a better woodworker. They don’t. No tool makes you a better woodworker - some tools make it a lot easier but your ability as a woodworker depends entirely upon you. Skills start at product design; go through timber selection; timber preparation; cutting and refining; dry fit to final fit and finishing. You can acquire these skills only through practice; of course, a good school will help enormously but, for most people, that’s not affordable and so, YT presents itself. But YT can be a real hindrance. There are people on YT (and I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years) who, frankly, show little skill apart from marketing themselves. There are also people whose work delights me and inspires me. Not that all their work is my style but style is personal, whilst skill is universal. So. Don’t think buying any of these tools will instantly improve your work. Better spend the time watching people like Sawyer Design, Ramon Valdez, Pedulla Studio, EN Curtis, Foureyes (and several more on my subscription list). Then go out and make something: make something better than last time.
@731Woodworks This is the 2nd video that I noticed you mention it being weird that the 20 volt batteries don't work in the track saw but the 60 volt will work in the 20 volt tools. The reason for that is because the 60 volt batteries are actually Flexvolt. The batteries are at 60 volts for tools that require the extra power (like the tracksaw) but they change their voltage automatically when you use them in 20 volt tools. The 20 amp batteries don't have the ability to up their voltage to 60 volts. That's why they don't work in tools like the track saw.
Skil has become one of my favorite power tool brands in recent years, im really impressed with all of my skil tools which include table saw, router and table, hammer drill, jigsaw and a couple types of sanders.
Hey thanks for the heads up on the square...I had ordered one, thinking it would be a cheaper but still OK square to keep in my pocket, not realizing it was plastic. You saved me a couple bucks!
Anything Woodpeckers can automatically be declared excellent. But I've got a 50 year old Starrett combo square that is still dead on square. I also have that Bosch router from when they were first released. There was a Craftsman version of the same router but I believe the body had cheaper materials. It's definitely a buy it once tool. Good video.
I just commented the same thing on another video. I haven't had any complaints about any of the wen products I have. I have and use the oscillating belt/spindle sander, drill press, and band saw. I also have the track saw and 660cfm rolling dust collector, but haven't used them yet.
Hey Matt, what is the dust hose attachment you have on the back of that Dewalt sander? I got a rockler universal hose kit but it doesnt fit on the natural fitting and your solution looks perfect for the problem I'm having.
@731Woodworks - I tried to see if the plans for the mini router table (for the dewalt cordless) was available on Spring, but I could not find them. Are they available anywhere - Great content by the way
I'm mostly a DeWalt guy, but when I got my tracksaw I went Team Teal. Biggest reason? Track compatibility. Makita and Festool tracks are interchangeable. DW is proprietary.
That's true, the Dewalt tracks are proprietary to the Dewalt Tracksaw. That said, the Dewalt tracksaw has 2 grooves in the base, one for the Dewalt tracks, but the other works on the festool-like tracks. I have two Festool tracks (eventually more once I get LR32 tracks) that work just fine on the Dewalt saw.
Ever since Chervon acquired Skil they’ve been really pumping out some awesome and even extremely ingenious products. In my opinion, they are an extremely underrated and under appreciated brand that has got some awesome tools at prices that are some times hard to believe.
Thanks for the video. I bought the same Bosch router just before going back to work overseas. I will need to check out the DJI mics. Do what the big boys do...right?😉
He built a trusted name on building things. People need to know what tools are actually good. He isn’t affiliated with a particular brand which makes his input on tools trustworthy. Let the man do what he wants to do and support him.
I bought the Skill, skillsaw from Amazon. Been very impressed with its power and functionality! It has the laser light and has been surprisingly accurate. Can’t say all will be that way! But it’s a good addition to my shop!
Great content today. I would like to see you test the Dewalt 20 V max knock off batteries that are just all over Amazon. I don't know if they fit they work they last half as long or twice as long that would be some good content I think. Hey just thought of something else on the router bit holder, it works you're just great to hold the bit while you try to sharp in the edges.
I have the venerable Bosch 1617 router. I bought it with the fixed base about 25 years ago, used it a couple times, then put it on the shelf. I found the round wooden handles unwieldy and the router never felt stable in my hands. I would never buy another router with round handles. Eventually I put the 1617 motor in my router table where it has stayed ever since.
Router bit clamp looks useful. Why not just make one? Just needs a couple of uni-directional bearings- they do them on e-Bay. 'You gotta add those fractions' (6:21)- most of us (>95%) don't. We use decimal. Why don't you? All you need is rulers marked in tenths. (Inches or mm, your choice). Using three bases at once is bound to cause you problems. Combination square- the magnetic types are so much faster/easier to use. No fiddling with clamps, or having to get the rule back in the slot. And you can flip the rule- four ways!
nice video i realy enjoy your stuff. my question is do you know Mirka sanders? i very rarely seen tham in US videos, but in my opinion they are the best sanders out there, even compared to festool etc but they are pricy even compared to festool^^
Link in description to them. TrueWerk T1. Best work pants I've ever worn. I made a short video about them here th-cam.com/video/xBHQ3Plds-w/w-d-xo.html
You do an excellent job of explaining things and showing and demonstrating tools. Plus, I commend you for your wardrobe choices. Keep up the good work.
The construction calculator is available as an app for your phone which means you usually always have it with you and it can be updated as they improve features.
If they decide to add features or re-allocate buttons it is easy to do this on a touchscreen app - not so much on a hardware button based device.@@JeffRL1956
Matt You flashed a pic of your drill press and I thought I saw a couple dog hold downs? Where did you get them? I was going to get the WEN spindle sander then a screaming deal came along on a new in box Bauer sander which is very similar to the WEN and works great. I have to agree with other comments about you building more stuff because your product reviews are costing me way too much money. Honestly though keep doing what you're doing, there are plenty of TH-camrs building stuff but few giving honest reviews of tools on the cheaper end of things.
WEN quality. The WEN story is very much like the Harbor Freight story. years ago they were both known for cheap prices but that came with poor quality. Both companies decided to change that several years ago and now both companies offer good quality at very competitive prices. I own several WEN products and love em.
@@731Woodworks to be honest I’ve been extremely blessed with some awesome tools. Besides the router table combo I have pretty much all I need. I will say that a head to head on a budget table top jointer and up to the more expensive brands would be cool. Wen, Porter cable, craftsman, ridgid, wahuda. Be cool to see if the more expensive jointers are worth the higher price and why. I have the porter-cable brand that you posted on a deal, but it’s my first and I have nothing to compare it to. The porter-cable does a good job for me and I no longer need to use the level and tablesaw method.
Please stop saying the 60v tools not taking the 20v battery doesn’t make sense. 20≠60 it’s basically that easy. It would take like 10m of learning to find out some basic principles of electricity and that you’d need 3 20v batteries to be able to power it. It’s like complaining your 20v doesn’t run on 9v smoke alarm batteries…
I've heard it said that audio is more important that video so I'm going with your recommendation. I started a YT channel and, on my 1st, short I got 1K views. That really surprised me! I'm working on getting my house ready to sell. when I get into a new house, I will start making videos. In the meantime, I will continue to learn to make and edit videos. Be safe, keep making, and stay awesome.
Keep up the good work Matt. You have a humble trustworthiness about you since you started this and it’s carrying over to however your channel evolves. Climbing up the ladder to success will always come with people trying to pull you down from the rungs below. Ignore them and keep moving up. You have a great following here with a lot of people who are cheering on your success. God bless brother.
You have all tools on the planet. What about to show us how you use them and build something ? I like to watch your videos but it gets boring pretty fast.
I guess to each is own but from most of the videos I've seen people comparing different power tools Atomic usually did not fair well against most "good" power tools.
I have the craftsman version of that calculator when I launched my contracting company 20some years ago. It is super helpful for rise/run, dealing with fractions
Every time you pop up on my feed it’s always with a “10 favorite/top tool” video. Will you eventually come out with a “top 10 of my top 200 clickbait tools” video?
Great video. I use an identical calculator in my apprenticeship. I don't know if Apple has one or not, but you can get an identical app version of the calculator for your phone & tablet. Alot of times you can get it cheaper as well.
Question: why always from Amazon? Yes, they have "everything". Why not support small-box, even online stores like Taylor Toolworks or some of the cutter companies? Woodpeckers is direct, so that's cool, but what about plugging a different retailer?
Love your best-of reviews! Thank you for mentioning that Precision and Accuracy are two different things at roughly 8 minutes. Getting the same measurement repeatedly doesn't mean it is correct! And then there is Resolution: measuring and recording many digits doesn't guarantee correctness.
I second the comment on the Dewalt sander. I've had mine for probably 15 years. I've dropped it lots. It still works like new. Of course I prefer my festool sander (yes, I'm bragging), but that Dewalt is great quality.
Matt dunno if I told you lately but I really appreciate you man..no one to show me the way but you, and love these reviews...someone brought up today why haven't you reviewed grizzly tools, I thought it was a good question..prolly cause you haven't had a chance or come across grizzly..any thoughts on that...
Did y’all know that Americans are the only ones that need to do math to be able to do their hobbies or trades? The rest of us use the metric system, and who can’t multiply, devide, add and subtract in multiples of ten? Take your 16ths, 1/8ths etc and move into the 21st century. Love your videos man.
Hey….. Great to get a response. Just a thought. Why don’t you convert your shop and your projects to metric and see how easy it really is for yourself. You have a huge audience, you might start something unstoppable. And I could stop slapping my head when I see some of you guys adding up fractions. Cheers from the land down under.
I do a lot more tool videos vs build videos because that's what people watch more of. I do build projects about every 6 to 8 weeks, otherwise I do other type of content that gets more views because this is my full time job. Got to follow the data on what works.

i've used that dewalt corded sander for many years. It's smooth and easy to use for long periods. one of the best tool purchases in my shop.
Joined your channel for the woodworking. Tool reviews are great but maybe review them while building something.
Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for sharing!
Hey Matt, what is the dust hose attachment you have on the back of that Dewalt sander? I got a rockler universal hose kit but it doesnt fit on the natural fitting and your solution looks perfect for the problem I'm having.
It's from ToolCurve on Etsy. A viewer sent it to me as a gift.
@731Woodworks - I tried to see if the plans for the mini router table (for the dewalt cordless) was available on Spring, but I could not find them. Are they available anywhere - Great content by the way
Found it :-) bought it :-)
I'm mostly a DeWalt guy, but when I got my tracksaw I went Team Teal. Biggest reason? Track compatibility. Makita and Festool tracks are interchangeable. DW is proprietary.
That's true, the Dewalt tracks are proprietary to the Dewalt Tracksaw. That said, the Dewalt tracksaw has 2 grooves in the base, one for the Dewalt tracks, but the other works on the festool-like tracks. I have two Festool tracks (eventually more once I get LR32 tracks) that work just fine on the Dewalt saw.
It was pointed out to me that two woodworkers who look similar both released Amazon tools videos on the same day. haha!! ❤
ha ha! I noticed that too!! Sorry we didn't get to talk more at VidSummit! I'd love to connect sometime and talk more!

The Dewalt atomic line of tools with the power stack batteries is tough to beat.
You are great at these videos but I do miss watching you build things

I bought the Dewalt sander from Amazon. It stopped spinning after 15 minutes on first use. Replacement arrived and won’t spin at all. Grr. Ideas?
Ahh geez. Wonder if they had a bad batch? I've had a DeWALT sander for years without issue. Might look at the Milwaukee Sander? It's a good one.
My Wen Sander caught fire. With luck I as able to smell it burning from kitchen. Wen took 6 months to replace. Little sawdust in sander.
Matt, thank you so much for bringing us these videos.
Glad you like them!

Honestly though keep doing what you're doing, there are plenty of TH-camrs building stuff but few giving honest reviews of tools on the cheaper end of things.
Thanks. I don't have any dog hold downs on the drill press. I do have a drill press table that has t track in it, with t track clamps
Quick note, you can make your own version of the infinity tool for pretty cheap with some needle roller bearings!
specifically you need one-way bearings, not simply needle roller bearings.
@@mlindholm Right you are! Thanks for adding the clarification. Especially for anyone wanting to build it.
Absolutely love that Bosch router. Definitely share your opinions. Have you had a chance to test the new Milwaukee M18 router?
That spindle sander.... Need that yup 👍
It is AWESOME!
@@731Woodworks anything that makes sanding more enjoyable is!
Your video at 3m was great also, I bought the hook and loop sandpaper you recommended and I'll never buy another sandpaper now. Great product.
@@JSGenesisDesigns 🤣 Absolutely!
@@JSGenesisDesigns Thanks! Yeah, that 3M paper is really good!
WEN quality. The WEN story is very much like the Harbor Freight story. years ago they were both known for cheap prices but that came with poor quality. Both companies decided to change that several years ago and now both companies offer good quality at very competitive prices. I own several WEN products and love em.
Great content. I’ve had my eye on that router and router table combo. Looks solid. Thanks Mighty Matt!!
Thanks Lloyd!
@@731Woodworks your welcome Sir.
@@ronswoodshack What tools are on your wish list? Trying to get ideas on what to review in upcoming videos.
@@731Woodworks to be honest I’ve been extremely blessed with some awesome tools. Besides the router table combo I have pretty much all I need. I will say that a head to head on a budget table top jointer and up to the more expensive brands would be cool. Wen, Porter cable, craftsman, ridgid, wahuda. Be cool to see if the more expensive jointers are worth the higher price and why. I have the porter-cable brand that you posted on a deal, but it’s my first and I have nothing to compare it to. The porter-cable does a good job for me and I no longer need to use the level and tablesaw method.
I love it when you say "cheap piece of crap".....LOL!!
🤣
Looks like 2023 was a good tool year for Amazon!
Lots of good options for sure!
I have a skill router. Just bought it from a guy who did one project. I’d like to build a stationary table for it.
Please stop saying the 60v tools not taking the 20v battery doesn’t make sense. 20≠60 it’s basically that easy. It would take like 10m of learning to find out some basic principles of electricity and that you’d need 3 20v batteries to be able to power it. It’s like complaining your 20v doesn’t run on 9v smoke alarm batteries…
👍
I've heard it said that audio is more important that video so I'm going with your recommendation. I started a YT channel and, on my 1st, short I got 1K views. That really surprised me! I'm working on getting my house ready to sell. when I get into a new house, I will start making videos. In the meantime, I will continue to learn to make and edit videos. Be safe, keep making, and stay awesome.
Awesome! Excited to see your journey!
I am a woodworker and guitar player. What are you making at 10:31? Love your channel btw
Thanks! Guitar catch all trays I make on the CNC.
Keep up the good work Matt. You have a humble trustworthiness about you since you started this and it’s carrying over to however your channel evolves. Climbing up the ladder to success will always come with people trying to pull you down from the rungs below. Ignore them and keep moving up. You have a great following here with a lot of people who are cheering on your success. God bless brother.
Jeez that slide rule set is crazy expensive.
There's a "knock-off" set I showed in last weeks "Cheap" tools video
Love your tool review/demo videos...my wallet however 😬😬
🤣
My wife bought me the Wen spindle sander for my birthday, per your reccomendation. Its been a great addition in the shop and im very happy with it.
It's a great tool to have in the shop!
Good video
Thanks!
RE: Construction Master Pro, pop the calculator out of the case and in the back you'll find a full manual.
You have all tools on the planet. What about to show us how you use them and build something ? I like to watch your videos but it gets boring pretty fast.
Thanks for the feedback.
I know these pay the bills, but yeah. I find myself not watching more than a few minutes before clicking off.
@@lextheap1638All he needs is a few minutes watch time to cash in.
Truth
I enjoyed it a lot more after I decided 731 is a shopping channel, not a project channel. And that's fine. Just a different kind of content.
Two different things, hell yeah bro, killing it
My guy has more favorite routers than I have drills
Kinda like choosing your favorite kid. Impossible!
Awesome content as always Matt!
Appreciate it!
I’m supposed to be getting that Bosch plunge router today from that prime deal last week. How does that router stack up against a Dewalt?
I really need a spindle sander
They are great additions to the shop!
I guess to each is own but from most of the videos I've seen people comparing different power tools Atomic usually did not fair well against most "good" power tools.
Finally pulled the trigger on the DW735 yesterday. Was $200 cheaper on Amazon than at Home Depot. Score!!!
Next month… it’s Shelix time 👌
👏👏👏
Are you from Arkansas
Come on man, I love your videos, give use more skill videos and a balance of the WoodWorking Shopping Network.
The majority of people don't watch build videos anymore you go where the money is
Thank you for the feedback
I have the craftsman version of that calculator when I launched my contracting company 20some years ago. It is super helpful for rise/run, dealing with fractions
Every time you pop up on my feed it’s always with a “10 favorite/top tool” video. Will you eventually come out with a “top 10 of my top 200 clickbait tools” video?
Great video Matt I’ve boughten a few of the tools that you have recommended and love them all thanks
I much prefer Milwaukee tools over DeWalt.
Good stuff man, I’ve found some incredible tool deals thanks to you. Keeps me workin on things
Great to hear!
Love your t shirts ❤, great video brother in Christ
WHAT'S WITH THE HAND CUFFS IN THE TOOL CABINET DAD?
Great video. I use an identical calculator in my apprenticeship. I don't know if Apple has one or not, but you can get an identical app version of the calculator for your phone & tablet. Alot of times you can get it cheaper as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Question: why always from Amazon? Yes, they have "everything". Why not support small-box, even online stores like Taylor Toolworks or some of the cutter companies? Woodpeckers is direct, so that's cool, but what about plugging a different retailer?
I've done a bunch of videos that show TayTools products, Woodpeckers, etc.
You realize Taylor tools has an Amazon page
Nice list, I have a couple of those and have been very happy with them!
Good to hear!
Love your best-of reviews! Thank you for mentioning that Precision and Accuracy are two different things at roughly 8 minutes. Getting the same measurement repeatedly doesn't mean it is correct! And then there is Resolution: measuring and recording many digits doesn't guarantee correctness.
Or a construction calc app for your phone
I bought the Wen spindle sander this year. I can’t believe how much it’s earned its keep around the shop.
It's a great tool!
I was able to get that Bosch router for about $160 thanks to your deal alerts! You're the tool man!
Glad I could help
Thanks Matt. I had a Johnson square but had to dump it. Wasn’t square. Switched Back to my Bridge City Tools square
I second the comment on the Dewalt sander. I've had mine for probably 15 years. I've dropped it lots. It still works like new. Of course I prefer my festool sander (yes, I'm bragging), but that Dewalt is great quality.
Thanks for sharing
I just recently got a Lavalier mic from Amazon, and it works pretty good. This one looks way better though, I’m going to look into it
They work great!
Matt dunno if I told you lately but I really appreciate you man..no one to show me the way but you, and love these reviews...someone brought up today why haven't you reviewed grizzly tools, I thought it was a good question..prolly cause you haven't had a chance or come across grizzly..any thoughts on that...
Thank you! I need to check into some Grizzly tools for sure. Anything in particular you're interested in seeing reviewed?
@@731Woodworks yes the plainer, lots wonder if it's any good...thanks brotha man...
Thanks for sharing God's word
Life would be so much easier if you converted to metric
Did y’all know that Americans are the only ones that need to do math to be able to do their hobbies or trades? The rest of us use the metric system, and who can’t multiply, devide, add and subtract in multiples of ten? Take your 16ths, 1/8ths etc and move into the 21st century. Love your videos man.
Hey….. Great to get a response. Just a thought. Why don’t you convert your shop and your projects to metric and see how easy it really is for yourself. You have a huge audience, you might start something unstoppable. And I could stop slapping my head when I see some of you guys adding up fractions. Cheers from the land down under.
Dewalt track saw? Seriously 😳🤪😅😅😅
Do you ever build any wood projects ? All I ever see is tool reviews.
I do a lot more tool videos vs build videos because that's what people watch more of. I do build projects about every 6 to 8 weeks, otherwise I do other type of content that gets more views because this is my full time job. Got to follow the data on what works.
👍
