AUSTOR Drum Sander Set Review: Right for Our Shop?
We’ve gone through enough sanding sleeves to know a “big kit” isn’t automatically a good kit—so we put the AUSTOR Aluminum Oxide Sanding Drum Set to work in our shop. With 120 drum sander sleeves and 12 mandrels, it promises less downtime and more flexibility for our Dremel rotary tool, especially when we’re shaping small parts, smoothing edges, or cleaning up tight curves. The aluminum oxide grit feels like a sensible all‑rounder: not too precious for rough prep, but capable of leaving a surprisingly tidy finish when we step down in grit. We also appreciate the included storage box, which keeps the chaos contained. Still, we wanted to see how the sleeves hold up under real pressure.

DEWALT DCW220B Belt Sander Review: Right for Our Shop?
When we pulled the DEWALT 20V MAX* DCW220B belt sander out of the box, the first thing we noticed was what wasn’t there: a cord. In our shop, that instantly changes how we move—from edging a tabletop to smoothing a door in place without hunting for an outlet. The brushless motor promises steady power, but we wanted to see if it actually keeps up when the grit bites into real hardwood, not just scrap. This is the “tool only” version, so we paired it with our existing batteries and treated it like any other daily driver. The question isn’t whether it sands—it’s whether it earns its spot on our bench.
AEPOALUA Nightstand Review: Right Shop Assembly Table?
In our search for a bedside table that feels equal parts practical and polished, the AEPOALUA Nightstand with Charging Station caught our eye. The modern white body paired with a gold frame gives it a “small-space luxury” vibe without shouting for attention. What we liked immediately was the built-in charging station—no more fishing behind the bed for outlets or juggling tangled cords on the floor. The drawer handles bedside clutter nicely, while the open shelf keeps books, baskets, or a midnight water glass within reach. Of course, the real question in our “Right Shop Assembly Table?” series is whether it goes together smoothly and feels sturdy once built. We put it to the test—and the results surprised us.
