Evolution Power Tools Reviews

"I have never used a mag drill prior to purchasing this one. I was attracted to it because I am a fan of Evolution's cold cutting chop saws along with its reasonable price.\r\n\r\nI have used it to drill a few misc. small holes using a standard drill bit with the included chuck attachment. The reason why I bought it was to drill holes in a 1\/4\u201d plate to use as a fixture table. The drill performed well while drilling all 180 holes with a 5\/8\u201d Evolution annular bit that I purchased separately.\r\n\r\nThe specs state that the magnet requires a minimum plate thickness of 3\/8\u201d. I did not have any problems with the magnet not being strong enough on the 1\/4\u201d plate as long as the work surface and the bottom of the drill was free of debris. Most of my drilling, I had a 14\u2019 gauge plate on top to use as a hole guide. I even used the drill upside down attached to the bottom of the 1\/4\" plate to drill a couple holes through the 14 ga plate when originally making my hole guide.\r\n\r\nI eventually plan to build (or repurpose) a drill press stand with a thick horizontal plate (for mounting the mag drill to). This way I can use it as a drill press or easily remove it to use elsewhere. \r\n\r\nIt appears to be a well-built and quality drill. I think this is an excellent drill for the value and is deserving of a 5-star review. I would buy it again and recommend it to others.\r\n\r\nNo review is complete without listing cons, so here are mine:\r\n- Allow the drill to be stored in the case with the handles (used to raise and lower the drill) attached.\r\n- The drill is a bit loud. The noise comes from the drill itself and not the drill bit.\r\n- I\u2019m not a big fan of the lubrication system. You have to manually remember to open or close the lubricant valve. I wish turning the drill on would start the lubricant flow (if attached) and stop it once the drill is turned off. The lubricant\/coolant tank also must be removed to store the drill in in its case. The valve for the lubricant tank (to start or stop the flow of lubricant) is right below the tank itself, so when disconnecting the lubrication system, the clear tube needs to be drained. The lubricant tank has a hole in the lid so that air can enter as lubricant leaves. Lubricant would leak out of this air hole if laid on its side, so than would also have to be drained for storage.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"

"This is my 3\/4th evolution Saw and I'm never disappointed. Now they're so much improvement on the newest one I've just unboxed. Fellow contractors asked me about my Saw and just proudly sent them to Evolution site...Right price, great power and an on-point team representatives."

"I have recently purchased the Evolution 800B Mitre Saw and also the stand.\r\nBoth Items are robust and easy to use, it has a wide cut and the laser guide comes in useful but can be obscure by sunlight. The multi-purpose blade is very good, I have cut aluminium, UPVC & wood, and I have found it extremely good to use. I have used it to cut the battens, cladding and aluminium trims in the attached photo"

"Hi. \r\n\r\nRecent purchase: S355 MCS CHOP SAW\r\n\r\nLet me just start by saying: \u201clife savor\u201d I basically had a job starting up. The job requires precision cuts. The item arrived timely!! Thank you!! The saw saved me many hours of fabrication. I am extremely happy with the machine. Every cut was perfect. I am grateful for all of the components leading up to a precision cut. This saw is one of my prides to all my equipment. Will there be a table specifically designed for this saw soon? If that is the case I surely may pick up. 5 star rating on the chop saw. Again!!! Y\u2019all saved me from 10 additional hours of labor. \r\n\r\n"
