5 comments about Shop-Vac 906-72-00 Fine Dust Filter Bag, 2-Pack.

1. These filter bags are excellent if you need to vacuum fine particles such as dry wall dust. While they are not inexpensive, they will prevent what you are vacuuming from being blown out of the exhaust outlet They are a little difficult to install but if you carefully fllow the instructions printed on the bag, you shouldn't have any problems.



2. I use these along with a HEPA cartridge filter. This is a great combination to eliminate the fine dust health hazard. I use my Shop Vac with my router, biscuit joiner, table saw, and miter saw to collect chips and dust. With this bag the HEPA filter stays very clean and should last a long time.



3. I use this bag along with the HEPA washable filter and I am amazed how well it works. I use this combination whenever I remove grout. I have been using a Dremal drill to remove old bathroom tile grout and replacing it with fresh clean white grout. It makes the bathroom look brand new like I just retiled. Before using these bags the vacuum blew out very fine dust which landed all over the furniture in the other room. But now, there is no dust at all. It all stays in the bag. Plus, the bag holds a large amount of debris so I can use it for many other jobs before having to replace the bag. If you work around fine dust or have to wear a mask then try these great bags.



4. These bags are strong! They hold a LOT of debris without shredding, even when picking up sharp objects. I've gotten them wet too (I have a Shop-Vac 90340-00 CleanStream filter in the canister to permit water pickup), and as long as you let it dry out before removing it from the canister, it won't fall apart on you. Even though they are so resilient, they breathe well. They do not strain the machine, even when they are getting full. By the way, I use them in this machine which I also highly recommend: Shop-Vac 925-45-10 10 Gallon Stainless Steel/6.25 HP Contractor Duty Wet/Dry Vacuum.



5. Does a great job in keeping drywall and plaster dust in the bag and my vacuum container clean. Well worth the money and convenience when emptying my vacuum, especially after a remodel project.

5 comments about Bosch 1640VS Finecut 3.5 Amp Power Handsaw.

1. I'm in the process of laying laminate flooring in a rental property. All goes well until I hit the doorways then everything comes to a halt as I struggle to hand cut the door jambs. By the time I'm done I'm nearly conked out. Well, I had to get this thing quick to save my sanity and it works as advertised.
   
   Some tips I feel I should give. 1. Keep firm control of this thing. At times it can "run" away from you. 2. Use the lowest speed that give an adequate cut in order to avoid number 1.
   
   Great tool that has made my day.



2. Its better than cutting off all the door trim and jambs by hand but only just. The switch is either on or off and the variable speed is a separate wheel. It is unsafe as well as difficult to operate. With the saw turned on, the operater is handling a dangerous tool that could easily cut him. If the switch was designed like a drill switch the operater would have more control and variable speed.
   Blade change is easy.



3. Great product when installing new flooring over old. The door trim is easy to cut without removing it. Makes a difficult job easy and short. I really like this saw. Bosch 1640VS Finecut 3.5 Amp Power Handsaw



4. My primary use for this tool is cutting exotic woods into pieces, to be used for craft projects. I obviously need a tool that will cut smoothly, with little or no splintering.
   
   I find that I can get nice, smooth cuts, with a minimum of effort and time. To say it goes through wood like a hot knife through butter is a bit of an exaggeration, but not much of one. The hand tool this replaces is a back saw, which would also make smooth cuts, but more slowly and with a greater degree of "elbow grease."
   
   Frankly, I am near 50, with a bad back and slightly arthritic hands, so it is essential to make the work easier. And, it is fair to say that if I can use this comfortably, anyone who is willing to read the directions can do so.
   
   A couple of caveats:
   1)At 3.5 pounds, it is not heavy. But if you are used to making fine cuts with a hand saw, you will have to get used to the weight.
   2)It doesn't vibrate much, which makes it easy to handle. But face facts; it's a power tool. There will be some vibration.
   3)Unless you buy the kit with the miter attachment, they do not sell a case for it. But a 16-inch tool box will do just fine.
   
   A couple of things I really like:
   1)The On/Off switch is a bit stiff. This is a GOOD thing, because it is hard to turn on or off, unintentionally.
   2)The speed is variable. The speed dial is separate from the power switch. Some people may not like this, but I do, because it is also hard to change speed unless you actually want to.
   3)Changing blades is simple and needs no tools.
   4)Because it makes fine cuts, it does not blow dust all over. (Of course there will be some, but it doesn't blow in my face. I still suggest safety goggles, of course.)
   
   I haven't actually used it for home repairs or cut metal with it, though I will eventually get the metal-cutting blade. On the whole, a good product.



5. Very pleased with how straight a cut I get, and how fine a cut I get in thin plywood going across grain. A little awkward to handle, but with practice I believe this complaint will go away. Definitely more precise cuts than with a hand-held fine-tooth saw. It is important to keep the blade angle low to the cut, as their directions point out. I would strongly recommend this saw to anyone working with thin plywood.

3 comments about Plastair SpringHose 25-Foot Coiled Water Hose, Ocean Blue #PUW625B93OT.

1. This is a very nice product for its intended use (albeit one that is rather similar to many others marketed elsewhere). However, please bear in mind a couple of subtleties that may not be obvious from the item description:

   (1) The length of the hose is measured at its theoretically full extension. However, the hose never actually reaches this full extension because of elastic resistance (i.e. the very same "spring" effect which is the reason you presumably bought the hose) and torsion along the length of the hose as it is stretched. My experience is that you lose approximately 25% of the hose's length to these two effects. The only way to beat this is by making sure that the hose's rated length is that much LONGER than you need.

   (2) Make sure that you have the appropriate adapter permitting you to attach the hose to your faucet. Designer faucets, faucets with hose attachments, imported faucets, and outdoor faucets all may have trouble working with this hose out of the box.




2. I was brousing through Amazon.com a few weeks ago and noticed the SpringHose. I had seen them
   in stores, and really liked the idea and convenience of this product. Upon further review and price
   comparison on Quality, amazon.com has the most competitive price available for this product.
   Considering it is a North American made product, I love that I can rely on its lifetime warranty. I
   have enjoyed the many conveniences this product has brought, not only to my garden but for
   washing my car as well.
   Many thanks, I Give full marks for the SpringHose!!!!!!! The convenience of the 25'er for my patio was well worth the extra purchase. I found the 50'er a little too long for small patio use.
   W.M.



3. I bought this Plastair ocean blue coiled garden hose as well as the green Plastair coiled one at the same time. I much prefer this one and highly recommend it. It is very flexible and extends much better than the green one. The 3 or 4 extra dollars are well worth spending to get this better hose. Not only does it extend further than the green one but it is much easier to handle..... takes no effort at all and feels lighter.

2 comments about Super-Bright 100 LED Flashlight - Soft Rubber Grip - Just 7" Long!.

1. This is an outstanding light. It is Super-Bright and gives a perfectly clear circle of white light with no lines or dark spots. I ordered another for my best friend and he is thrilled with it.



2. I bought 2 of these to have in case of an emergency. Now I use them as a spotlight for my entire backyard when I have a party! Very bright and a great value!

2 comments about Skil 120BAT 12-Volt 1.2 Amp Hour NiCad Slide Style Battery.

1. Charges well and works well with my cordless drill. Seems to hold charge adequately.



2. I ordered this product. It arrived promptly and worked as advertised. This is the definition of basic good customer service...

5 comments about Malibu Solar Cast Aluminum Flood Light and Remote Panel with 12 High Power White LEDs, Black #LZ605RP.

1. Very easy to start & use, It's very bright, but you can't have any light shining on the solar panel at night. The brightness of a light dims the flood light eminating, so keep the solar panal away from a streetlight or any light at night.



2. Purchased & came in timely manner. Had read all reviews and thought to be good for flag illumination. Received and setup and worked for a few days then quit. Tapped on solar panel and light would go off and on. Contacted support which was fast and fair and sent out new solar panel however received differnt model solar panel with 800Mah batteries and original was 1200Mah. Called concerned about brightness as solar panel was smaller and asked why sent wrong model. They said model should work and needed the 1200Mah and would send me some. Received 900mAh batteries. Go figure. Light working but as I said disappointed. Not sure if I were to get the right model whether it would work or be brighter. Answering Service good but questionable knowledge of product, product lousy.



3. I bought this floodlight about 5 months ago based on the first reviewers comments. I am quite happy with the amount of light this throws on a 30 saguaro cactus near my pool. I have been very disappointed with solar lights in the past, even just for accent lighting along a path. But this does a nice job of illumination - it lights up the lower half of the saguaro nicely, the top not so much. You can see the top half of the cactus, but it's it a dim light. As other reviewers say, it's not as bright as regular electric lights, but it does a good job. Also mine does NOT have the blue tint that other solar lights have. This is great for a portion of the yard where it's impractical to run electricity. I have an acre yard, and I have no desire to run electricity all over it, but I do have seating areas and visually interesting areas around the yard that I want to accent at night. I will be buying more of these for that purpose.



4. I am replacing a 250 watt floodlight with 2 of these fixtures. It is great not to be paying for electricity any more. The choice between full power or lesser power is nice for summer vs. winter lighting. A nice investment.



5. I have had nothing but problems with this product! After the first 48 hours of charging it worked for 1 night. Then I had to replace the batteries. Its a solar lite?? Why do I have to keep replacing the batteries??? I have had no responce from Malibu and they are very hard to get ahold of so Im stuck with a product that sucks!

5 comments about Bosch DWM40L Miter Finder 17-Inch Digital Protractor.

1. I work in a furniture factory. We have at least 5 of these in use by tool makers, engineers and quality. Before we got these we used a $300 Starett to get +/- 1 degree. Now we use these to get +/- 0.1 degree. Quality and precision are way up. Get the leg extension if you want to use the inside surface. It would be almost useless to us without the leg extension. Between this and the Smart Tool, we are making much better furniture now than two years ago.



2. The product is excellent, however, I believe it should come with a permanent storage case to store it while not in use. If there is such a container, it should be listed along side the product, even if is for additional cost.



3. The product may be good but it needs better instructions. I can not find more instructions anywhere.



4. I got this after I got tired of trying to read the scale and is that 44.5 degrees or 44.2...the angles are exactly right with the bosch. I would recommend this to anybody doing a crown molding project, it will save you multiple trips back to the miter saw.



5. 30 years plus in custom cabinets makes me feel this unit is one of the best things to ever come along. Essential for layouts in addition to crown molding calculations. We also do custom tube bending to specified angles and this tool makes it easy. For crown molding, it allows you to change the spring angle of the installation for difficult ceiling situations....pretty amazing.

5 comments about Uplight Lamp with Crackle Glass Shade.

1. I love this touch lamp. It is much more modern and asthetically pleasing than the old brass touch lamps. This lamp has 3 brightness settings which come in handy in our nursery.



2. After my last, rather ugly, touch lamp was destroyed by my child, I have been looking for a new one. We got this one and liked it enough to buy a second one. Reliably responds to contact. The 3 levels of brightness work with a regular old light bulb. Was in perfect condition when received.



3. Between Target in-store and Amazon, I have purchased three of these lamps. All three have suffered the same fate--when the bulb blows, the touch circuit fails. I have no idea why, and from reading these reviews, it appears I am in the minority (or most folks do not check back in). Because I like the look, part of me wants to buy another. However, I don't think I can justify repeatedly purchasing a lamp that fails like this. Am I the only one?



4. I have always used touch lamps by my bed for the ease of turning on/off the light before falling asleep and getting up in the middle of the night. The only problem I had with regular touch lamps is that on the occasions I fell asleep with the light on, the brightness from under the lamp would glare in my eyes when turning at night and wake me. This little uplight is perfect! There is no bright glare shining down. And it uses a regular light bulb, so it can be bright enough to light up the room or read with, yet the dim light is low enough for ambiance. It has a very nice appearance and was even larger than I expected it to be (to my liking).
   
   Very nice product!



5. The lamps as similer to ones from Target store however they are now built with thinner glass and one didn't work. I replaced the swithc at cost to me of $12.00

5 comments about Johnson Level & Tool 700 Magnetic Angle Locator.

1. This is a cheaper tool, functional but not professional grade.



2. Works as advertised. Compact, easy to read. I have used for roof pitches, rafters, gable end sofits, and other uses. I store in original packing material for protection.



3. Good product. Works well takes the guess work out of a project.



4. This is the kind of tool you never really think you need, but once you have one you'll wonder why you went to so much trouble measuring your angles before.
   
   I do a lot of roof and stair work, and this guy pays for himself every time I use it. Rafter (speed) squares are good, but easy to make a mistake. This is just a matter of slapping your Johnson in place and enjoying the quick reading!
   
   Well worth the money even if you only use it a couple of times a year.



5. Handy tool that's really useful when you need to calculate accurate angles. The magnet is big plus when you need to stick it to a pipe or saw blade/table. Great price, and it's made in USA.

5 comments about Garrity Industries E300G Power Failure Rechargeable Flashlight.

1. I run a bed and breakfast and needed power out lights for my insurance. I plugged these in all the rooms and forgot about them. Then the power went out. We live in a remote town and it is DARK. Having the light come on is reassuring. They didn't last very long, about an hour, but good enough to get you set up with candles. We also have cranking flashlights which is good, our power was out for 4 days.



2. Great concept, however, the directions say the battery will only last up to 1 hour. doesn't really serve the purpose of having emergency lighting



3. This is a great product, and a very practical one for the everyday household. No installation necessary--just plug it into an electrical outlet. Easy to use. And best of all, the batteries are replaceable so it is a lifetime product.
   
   I already had one that I had used for several years and decided to buy two more--pleased to see they are still being made because so many items these days are way too complicated and too high tech. This unit is reliable, easy to use and affordable.
   
   This is also a practical gift to give to people for a wedding present or moving in to a new home.
   
   Five stars for sure!! Unfortunately it's made in China, but it seems like everything is these days.



4. THIS PRODUCT COMES IN REAL HANDY IN A BLACKOUT. THERE'S NO SEARCHING FOR CANDLES AND IF THERE IS A SEARCH FOR CANDLES YOU HAVE LIGHT TO FIND THEM. YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHERE IT IS.



5. This is a poor excuse for a rechargeable flashlight. It will stay lit for less than 10 minutes max. I bought 2 of them and they are both junk. Do not buy Garrity rechargeables.Garrity Industries E300G Power Failure Rechargeable Flashlight
