5 comments about Danco 88821 2-3/4-Inch Tub Mesh Strainer, Stainless.
  1. I ordered three for three different drains including a laundry tub. The strainer works great. The company also provides great service with fast shipping.


  2. Warning.....This is a very small strainer....measurements are stated but only use is for a tub drain and will have to empty it every day or even twice a day....


  3. This is just what we were looking for. Fits perfectly in the bathtub drain.


  4. What's great about this thing is that you forget it's there until the water stops draining as fast. You pop this thing out, scoop out the hair, and plop it back in the drain. It catches nearly everything but it's nearly invisible too. Three cheers for Danco!


  5. This works great in my shower/tub. It catches all my hair and doesn't get moldy like the rubber ones.

5 comments about Nikon EN-EL2 Rechargeable Battery (for Nikon Coolpix 2500, 3500, SQ, Digital Cameras), #9904.
  1. You can't go wrong buying from this seller! Item was as described. I am very happy with my purchase!


  2. I bought three batteries, and they are all in good state.
    I once bought rather cheap batteries from Ebay. They were all made in China, and were terrible. They didn't last five shots.
    But this time they are original Japan made and works great.


  3. this battery was getting hard to find. i found just wnat i needed. good price and was delivered on time..........


  4. We almost got a new camera due to battery issues with our Nikon; however, we decided to give it a try and buy two new batteries. Our camera is now back to working like new and will be used for another 5+ years.


  5. This product was exactly as it was supposed to be. It was delivered on time and was 1/4 the price of what I would have paid for it at the camera shop.

5 comments about Malibu 4-Pack Electric Landscape Lights plus 300-Watt Power Pack/Timer, Black #CL10304T.
  1. Found the 300W model cheaper on Amazon than the 100W model was going for at Home Depot. Very pleased with quality so far.


  2. I accidentally found this kit on super special sale so I ordered figuring that 50 watts per lamp would be useable somewhere. To my surprise, these lights are bright enough that I can light my shrubs from 10' away and they blend perfectly with some 300W halogens I have shining on my trees. I'm going to buy a couple of more lamps (the power pack will handle 6 of these lamps) to complete my outdoor lighting.


  3. The husband loved the product and the price on Amazon is a lot better than at clerance at Home Depot.


  4. Up and running in less than an hour. Easy to use wire connectors and plenty of wire to make the full run of the front of my house. Now comes the "fun" part of trenching all the wire ... half way there.


  5. Very easy to set up, bright lights, sufficient amount of cable. Our previous landscape lights were Malibu and they lasted over 8 years. We had since sold that house and the new owners are still using them 3 years later. I bought these for my mother's house and her house is now the brightest on the block. They look great and they're great for security lights. Only brand we will buy.

  1. I ordered 2 of these. The wind broke the stick that one of the signs is attached to so I think this is a flimsy product.

5 comments about John Deere Traveling Sprinkler, #4010J, Green.
  1. I found this exact model in red from a local store. Paid a lot less for it. Ive used it a dozen or so times this season and it works as advertised.

    I guess if I were to complain about something it is dang heavy to drag around the yard.


  2. I ordered this sprinkler for my husband, and he's been THRILLED with it. It's easy to operate, and it throws the water quite far which means less repositioning. He highly recommends it!


  3. My husband was very pleased with the John Deere Sprinkler tractor. It is easy to use and covers a large area of lawn with the sprinkler. It is also attractive to look at, unlike some of the other competitors models.


  4. Lots of water but moves too slow even in high. Not bad, but not as good as a real DEERE.


  5. I was going to buy locally (Ace Hardware), but including shipping, I still saved 30% through Amazon.com. The tractor has 20 - 30 hours of use so far, and has operated flawlessly. The spray arms are easy to adjust, and the 2-speed feature is handy for new sod. Caution - check operation regularly if watering new sod, as the tractor can get stuck between pieces of sod.

2 comments about Gerber 22-41061 Brush Thinner Machete with Sheath.
  1. Balanced, sharp and an overall great design.

    I have other, cheaper, Cold Steel machetes that are awkward to use-don't buy them

    Gerber/Fiskar makes the best tools


  2. In Hawaii, we use these 'in the field' to trim Hawaii's many hiking trails.
    I am a thin wristed girl, and I LOVE this tool!!!
    It is so well balanced, light in the handle, and heavy in the blade--it just slices through the uluhe (thick fern), guava, and ginger.
    The zip soft cover makes it very streamlined to put in the backpack to carry around on a 10 mile hike.
    It far surpassed my expectations!!!

1 comments about Master Lock 3060DAT 12-Foot-by-1-Inch Lashing Strap, 2-Pack.
  1. I purchased this product to hold my computer in a desk-side mount for an IKEA Jerker computer table. The strap that came with the IKEA computer holder was, to put it mildly, pathetic.

    The Master Lock strap holds the unit firmly in place without any loosening due to stretching in the fabric. In addition, the buckle hasn't allowed any slippage, even after holding the thing for a couple months.

    It was simple to cut the strap to length using regular household scissors and to burn the end with a lighter to prevent fraying. Best of all, you get two straps for a pretty reasonable price.

5 comments about Plastair Spring Hose 3/8-Inch-by-50-Foot Coiled Watering Hose #PUWE650B94H.
  1. My money was well spent when I purchased this product. I received it quickly, and it's the best hose I've ever owned. I'll buy no hose but this in the future.


  2. The curled hose sounded like a good idea. However we found that it does not recurl itself as advertised and gets just as tangled in itself and other obstructions as much as a normal hose does in some cases even more.
    We quit using it and when back to a regular water hose.


  3. The best hose ever if you are not into the weight-lifting and wrestling exercise that is entailed in using and rewinding most garden hoses. This one is really light-weight and easy to handle with create reach and NO rewinding.


  4. The hose is too small in diameter, and the water flow is not the best. The hose kinks bad! I bought 4 so I could reach the kids play area to cool down the slide and sand. The hoses knots up around each other and I have to back tract to find where the kink is.


  5. I bought this hose to water plants on my balcony. It's too narrow and flimsy to be suitable for any heavier task.

    The 4th time I watered, the fitting that screws to the hose bib slipped out of the hose. Amazon would not send a replacement as I'd bought it more than 30 days prior. Plastair offered to repair it, if I paid shipping to Quebec.

    I have learned a lesson: Low ticket items bought from Amazon effectively have a 30 day warranty. If it breaks after that, shipping charges dominate the purchase price.

    Postscript a week later: Amazon granted a one time exception and swapped out the hose. Good marks for Amazon. The replacement hasn't broken yet.

5 comments about HTC PM7000 Portamate Miter Saw & Power Tool Work Center.
  1. I have not purchased this product yet and at this point probably will not. HTC appears to no longer be in business. The phone number listed on their web site and in the product manual has been disconnected. Amazon customer service cannot contact the company also. If any of the tools you intend to use with the product have offset mounting holes (not inline with the mounts), according to the product manual you must purchase kit J-104 that provides brackets to mount the tool to the supports. Amazon does not carry the kit and at this time it seems impossible to purchase the kit.

    The fact that the company appears to no longer exist also does not bode well for obtaining any warranty service. I also question how long you will be able to obtain pairs of mounting brackets for additional tools.

    This is very unfortunate because this product seems to fit all my needs and none of the other stands available seem as versatile.

    This product looks to be headed in the same direction as the Betamax.


  2. HTC is alive and well and has just moved into a new office and factory in Fair Haven, MI


  3. Within six month the extension arms stick and the fail to support any material. They drop about three inches below the saw height. Not worth the money. I try to buy local but it is net worth the time wasted.


  4. This is a decent stand if your under 5'-10" . I had to put 3 1/2" riser blocks under my saw which took a little time. The clips that hold the saw to the stand have broken off in under a years worth of use. Handle at wheel end too close to ground when moving saw. Vise is a nice feature. This stand is also made for Craftsman- that should be a clue to what the quality is.


  5. Though it arrived in a box that looked like it had been attacked by a really upset grizzly, the work center was in good shape. It is a solid unit that lives up to its ads. I am quite pleased with it overall. The only issue that prevented a 5 rating is that the handle on the end opposite the wheels must be removed so that the material support can be properly adjusted, a minor but irritating design malfunction. This is a great addition for those who must both move their tools around as well as conserve floor space.
