Cordless drills can be bought online at Amazon. If you're brand specific you can go to that company's website. If you're looking to compare the top major brands and the best shopping experience, Home Depot is great. For just use around the house, Walmart has a couple exclusive brands for half the cost of big name brands.

They used it both for hunting and picking some fruits. They hunt animals by throwing the sharp tip of the hammer at them. And when they are finished they usually just eat the meat and they could use the fur for clothing. They also use it to crack nuts.

How do you get out a burnt mark on a formica counter-top?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Professional repair people use an eraser type sander to sand down the burnt area. Then they custom mix a two part epoxy putty-like glue to match the color and carefully apply and lightly squeegee off the excess. A properly matched patch should be very difficult to detect. A second application may be necessary for deep divots. A countertop specialty store may sell kits to do these repairs

How do you tighten the handle on a hammer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You first make sure the socket in the head is clear and smooth. Fit your shaft into this socket and bang the other end on a firm surface, -the head will settle into position, but now needs to be pounded on with a soft face or dead blow hammer. When the end of the shaft is level with end of head you have it in position. Now you pound a small metal wedge into the end of the shaft to spread it. These wedges are available in all hardware stores in packs of 3-4 quite cheaply.

Who owns makita tools?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most Makita power tools currently sold in North America are manufactured in Japan or China. Here are a few exceptions to this rule:

  • 3" x 18" belt sander - made in England
  • chain saws - made in Germany

Makita's blue-and-black cordless tools and some corded tools (e.g., AVT hammer drills, the 3 amp multi-tool, and the venerable 3" x 24" belt sander) are still made in Japan.

A few of Makita's corded (e.g., some 10" and 12" sliding compound mitre saws, and the 3-1/4" planer ) and cordless tools (e.g., 9.6V tile saw) are assembled in the USA.

Makita's 5007FA 7-1/4" circular saw, 9005BZ 5" angle grinder, and 6013BR 1/2" corded drill are currently assembled in Canada.
