Just picked up the 07 edition of the FHB toolguide and was a bit disapointed to see many similarities with the 06 guide (ie, the 14.4 drill comparison still uses the older Makita not the MXT version- Having both tools, I can tell you that the MXT is amuch better tool-3 speed metal gearbox, a side handle and 450 ft lbs of torque compared to 350 on the old drill… )The compressor article was a reprint from an old issue of FHB..Considering the 10 dollar price tag, I would say not worth it!

Yup
There were a lot of repeats verbatim.
Portable table saw was word for word......
VERY disapointed! They got me at the check out stand as an impulse buy..if I had looked closer I'd pass.

No pneumatic comparisons...that could be quite the task, but they should go for it, maybe making a whole other issue for us to spend our money on...
I flipped through it today and was not impressed.JT
All those guides and publications are nothing more then re-hashes of previous articles. I have been suckered into buying one I dont like them.
Besides I use the internet for my tool reviews.
obsolete by the time it comes out.
