I recently installed a kitchen that had Blum soft close hinges on the cabinets. I found the new feature to be rather easy to install. It is a secondary piece that pushes onto the hinge which makes it close slower. read Soft Close Kitchen Cabinet Hinges Review

Chicago Reciprocating Saw-Sawzall Review

July 1st, 2010 No comments

Sawzall  From Chicago Power ToolsI bought a 6 amp Chicago Sawzall from Harbor Freight. The reciprocating saw cost about twenty five dollars. In review of my most recent kitchen cabinet remodel jobs that I have used the sawzall on, I have no complaints about this tool.

Features:

  • Variable speed trigger
  • Twist lock-blade chuck
  • Rotating handle with five preset positions
  • Seven eights inch stroke length
  • Six Amp
  • Metal and wood cutting blades included

Renovating an Old Oven Cabinet
I recently used the reciprocating saw on an old single oven cabinet that was fabricated out of three quarters inch thick ply-wood and pine. It was a Formica kitchen cabinet. The saw worked great for cutting out the existing shelves and for cutting the face frame of the cupboard. Chicago Reciprocating Saw Review
