They are in the median range of 'handyman' tools now. No pro will buy a modern B& D tool. - But I do still have a 38 year old B& D Professional 1/2" drill from the days they were built in Italy. It's used 5-6 times a week on my toughest jobs and is one of the best tools I have ! - Pity they've gone down hill since then.

Are the Black and Decker junior workshops any good?
Black and Decker Junior workshops are great tools for young kids who want to have a little fun!

Call or email Black and Decker, or visit one of their rebuild centres. There is one in almost every large city in north America . I regularly visit the one in Vancouver BC and get lots of good deals in reconditioned B&D and DeWalt tools.

Is porter cable a good brand?
Some are, I would steer clear of any cordless tools they offer, they are comparable to black and Decker brand tools, which really suck! The Black and Decker Corporation bought Porter Cable a few years ago. I'm guessing because they were competing against Black and Decker's Dewalt Line of tools, which don't suck. A few of my coworkers bought some cordless drills and saws from them. Put it this way, after about a year they were at the bottom of some land fill. The batteries are terrible, they don't last long and have an extremely short life-cycle. I do have some Porter Cable tools, pre buy out. They all have cords, but seem really well built and I have never had a problem.

Where can someone buy powerless tools?
Powerless tools can come in extremely useful at times, especially when working in a place where there is no electricity, or when training a young person, due to the comparative safety. There are a number of places to buy hand tools, and the local hardware store could prove a good start. Auctions may also prove fruitful, as there may be job lots of used hand tools that can be bought cheaply. If new tools are required, then Screwfix, Stanley Tools and Black and Decker have a good selection, and a wide range can also be seen and compared on the eBay and Amazon websites.
