→ BEST HOLE SAW
Disston E0100231 $80
The E0100231 is one of the best
hole saws we’ve used. Each body
snaps easily onto and off the
mandrel (the base that holds
the saw blade and centers the
drill bit in it). The feature allows
you to quickly change sizes and
makes disc removal a breeze.
Remove the saw from the man-
drel and you have access to the
disc from the front, the back,
and even the side because of
screwdriver access slots cut into
the side of the saw body.
↓ BEST SANDING ACCESSORY
Diablo Sand Net DFB-
234DUOH01G $9
Calling the Diablo a sanding
block doesn’t give it enough
credit. Maybe “sanding wizard”
is better. It comes with six abra-
sive sheets, two each in 80, 120,
and 220 grit. One side of the
block is a soft foam to help it
bend around and sand curved
surfaces. The other is rigid for
aggressively removing mate-
rial from flat areas. And we
love that the abrasive sheets are
washable, extending their life
and sanding power.← BEST POCKET HOLE GUIDE
Kreg 520 Pro $100
Our test of this Kreg proved
that it’s fast, versatile, and
reliable. Pocket screws are
specialized fasteners that
slope at a shallow angle to
join two pieces of wood.
The key to any pocket
screw tool is that it must
hold the wood securely
and angle the drill bit pre-
cisely. Here, a unique
pistol-grip clamp holds the
wood upright while guid-
ing a specialized drill bit
through hardened-steel
sleeves. The design enables
you to quickly bring the
wood to the jig or the jig to
the wood. The tool’s pistol
grip can turn 360 degrees,
providing you access from
any angle, while a trigger
permits rapid clamp-and-
release action for repeat
hole drilling.78 March/April 2022
