3 comments about Safety 1st Soothing Starts Nightlight 2-Pack.
- I've been so dissapointed with Amazon.com. They haven't been sending me the right products lately. I ordered this Safety 1st soothing starts nightlight, with stars and moons shapes. Instead they gave me a regular old looking safety 1st nightlight that lights up like any other night light. I was so dissapointed. :(
- It's a nice night light, but it's for small rooms. I don't like that it can't turn. The sockets in the room are sideways and so is the light. You can't see the star design that is suppose to light up the room due to that. Other than that, it's a great night light. The double pack was great in case of a big room, but the sockets need to be far apart.
- I realized I was only a few bucks away from free shipping, so I needed something to add. I needed night lights since I just had a baby. This was an awesome price for a 2 pack, but they are not super bright. I still need to turn on another light in order to change the baby in the middle of the night.

5 comments about Wolfcraft 3415405 Right Angle Clamp.
- I am pretty satisfied with this clamp. I have two of them..One of the plastic pieces on the quick release button was broken off on one of the clamps when I received them but it still works well. I use them to build picture frames and I am very satisfied and would recommend this clamp.
- These clamps are perfect as that extra hand when you're trying to glue pieces at right angles. I ordered two and am glad I did. Not only does it hold your workpiece at the correct height, it allows setting two joints at the same time.
The clamps are strong enough to hold heavy oak, but when done, the light weight aluminum makes them easy to store. The quick release works well, and the padded jaws prevent marks on your workpiece.
Overall a great value.
- Works great for holding frames and flipping them for joining. I have only use the clamp for fairly simple shaped frames, nothing with an odd shape. So far the clamp is holding up great and the handles are large enough to grip easily. I am an average user, making maybe 4 to 10 frames per month.
- great clamp idea, especially for 2X4s. BUT, the screw mechanism is made of a very weak metal and strips out easily. Too Bad, it's a great idea.
- I love it. Used it (like other reviewers) for picture frame making. It works great, makes perfect square angles, and the quick release is a great feature. Not a bad price at all for what it does. I was surprised that the threaded screw clamps are plastic, not metal, but I haven't had any durability problems with it at all yet. Holds tight, sturdy, secure and fast. I never had one of these before, and they are perfect and a must-have for 90-degree angle joining.

3 comments about Kidde KN-COP-IC Hardwire Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display, Interconnectable.
- This is fine except that it doesn't fully communicate with the smoke alarms. If this detects CO the smoke alarms don't sound. If the smoke alarms go off this will go off and say fire. It is still good enough to keep, but this is disappointing.
- This is a good product. It is nice to see PPM CO on the display, although it is not necessary.
Just a comment on the previous review about the limited networking. If this unit is tied into a network with smoke alarms, it will not set off the smoke alarms throughout the house if CO is detected. It WILL set off other CO alarms on the network. There is a reason for this. People have a tendency to look for the source of the smoke in their house if their smoke alarms start to go off (they want to save their house). So, if CO were detected, and all of the alarms started to go off, then some people would stay in their house looking for the fire and inhaling CO the whole time. As we all know this is a bad thing. This is one reason why only the CO alarms on the network trigger when CO is detected. A person can quickly locate which unit is making the noice, and if it is CO, they can get out of the house before they pass out.
But, if smoke is detected by any unit on the network the CO unit alarm will sound and the text 'fire' will display on the CO unit's digital display.
My house has 10 smoke alarms and 2 CO alarms all networked together. When they all go off it is a confusing situation. If I burn my popcorn then all 12 go off and my ears ring for days. If there is a CO issue then only 2 of the units go off and I can very easily tell that I am having a CO issue vs a smoke issue.
- Much better product than the firex's it replaced. Very easy to install. Digital readout is very easy to read. The detector alarm is louder than the firex. Battery backup is a must and this product has it. Very happy with this product.

5 comments about Sears Craftsman Liftmaster Chamberlain Garage Opener Safety Beam Kit 41A5034.
- Our garage door had problems closing. Initially, it started out because of the daylight shining on one of the sensors, but after a while, the door wouldn't close regardless of the time of day/light. I spliced these sensors into my existing wiring and it's been working great ever since. It took about 5 minutes to change the sensors.
- This product is easy to assemble and install with the included hardware and it worked excellent!!!!
- Ordered the Safety Beam set, because the receiver of my set was missing the lens and I geuss it was unable to focus the senders beam. I wont say how the lens was lost, a tail for another time, anyway I recieved the set in a timely manner and within fifteen minutes I had relaced the unit. Everything works great and has since the replacement. I would highly recommend this to everyone. You will need three tools to complete the job: A screw driver (common or phillips), something to strip and cut the wires, and something to crimp (squeeze) the splices. Gathering the tools took more time than the actual repair.Sincerly WWW
- I replaced my old sensors with new sears craftsman sensors...works amazing.
Comes with a easy self-intall manual.
- We had to replace the beam kit on our relatively new Sears garage door opener, and this kit worked perfectly at a reasonable price. A life saver, as the beam kit could not be found at any Sears stores in Chicago!

3 comments about GE SmartWater Inline Refrigerator Filter Replacement (GXRLQR).
- This filter is expensive but it last 4 months for us, that is 3 adults. Get the 4 pack, saves money and you just bought enough for year and a half.
- My filters are only lasting a few weeks before they clog to a trickle. I have Roseville city water and I am guessing that it has a lot of mineral content. This filter does improve the taste.
- Excellent product. Exactly as advertised. Arrived in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend.

5 comments about Metro Vac SK-1 Air Force Blaster Sidekick Compact & Portable Motorcycle Dryer.
- This dryer is solidly built and delivers what it promises, even with its relatively low horsepower. It's easy to use and dries my 750 cc motorcycle in about 10 minutes. It sure beats having to use rags. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product.
- Great for sports cars. Use it along with a waffle weave towel. It gets water out of the areas like under the air spoiler, the mirrors, the door handles, and especially the tire rims. Blow the water out of these areas water drips from to prevent water marks. The long nozzle is rubber, so if you bump the car it will not leave a scratch.
It uses warm air and has like a mesh filter on bottom. A leaf blower stirs up too much dust that gets on your car and cannot be handled along with a towel like this product.
Used it 4 times to wash the car since I bought it, and would buy it again for sure.
- fantastic,works almost as good as 3 bikini clad women hand dryin a Harley,only not as pretty
- This product doesn't work nearly as well as it was advertised! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
- I love this dryer. I can't believe the power this little dude has. I dried my full dressed touring bike in about 15 minutes. The warm air not only blew the water off, but dried it too, leaving almost no water marks.
So in other words, you won't have to wipe off your bike. If you're particular like me about a clean bike you might still take a towel and dab what little water is left, but there won't be much. You'll be happy!!

5 comments about O'Keeffe's Working Hands Skin Therapy Hand Creme - 3.4 oz jar.
- I have a persistent, obnoxious dry skin problem on my palms, and so have tried a very great number of products to help. Not just drugstore stuff, but stuff for diabetics (I'm not diabetic), for severely cracked skin, etc. Money has been unimportant (some diabetic skin remedies are expensive, some prescription only). So, I speak with some experience.
This product works for me. It is the best thing I have found after years of looking. After using it for a week, my hands looked better than they have in years, with no flaking and little dry appearance. When you try it overnight, which is recommended by O'Keeffe, you will be pleasantly surprised in the morning.
- I broke my wrist and I have had a cast on it for six weeks. I have experienced moderate swelling in my hand, and the skin on my hand and fingers began to flake and peel in an alarming way. My DIL, who is a pharmacist, told me to get a hand cream that contains Urea. I bought the O'Keeffe's Working Hands product and my skin began to improve immediately. I could see an improvement within one day. I have been using the product once or twice a day for three days and my skin is almost completely healed.
- This is the best hand creme we've ever used. I am a potter and have my hands in water and clay all day and this product is amazing. My husband works outside and his hands use to split/crack and bleed and they hurt..... Working Hands has completely eliminated this. We've been using it for about two years and we won't use anything else. It works as well on feet also. We always buy the 3.4 oz jar ..... we've tried the tube - it has a thinner consistency and does not work as well. We keep a jar in each vehicle and each bathroom as well as the shop and studio. They last a long time because it only takes a small amount to make your hands feel wonderful. I've recommended it to other potter friends and they use it exclusively now. It is not scented so doesn't interfere with perfumes. You have to give this product a try....you won't be sorry!
- I've been using Working Hands for several years. My understanding is it was developed by a pharmacist in Oregon. The main ingredient is glycerin which gives it the somewhat strange feel mentioned by others. It works simply by drawing and keeping moisture on the skin. I have had problems with skin cracking by my fingernails to the point of bleeding, especially during cold, dry weather. After trying every creme on the drug store shelf with little luck, I read a news article about Working Hands' inventor and bought a jar. Unbelievable! It helps heal the cracking in a couple of days and if I use it before the cracking gets going, I can avoid the problem altogether. Trust me, this stuff works.
- This is an excellent hand creme. I don't think there is any better. My hands were always dry and sometimes cracking. I spent a small fortune on lotions and cremes that really did not work.
Working Hands does work and it is guaranteed to work. It is non greasy. The first day I used it, I thought it felt really funny. Like a powder coating on the skin. Now I love the way it feels. I know it is working.
I put it on about twice a day and always at night before climbing into bed. I have my hands in water a lot during the day. I no longer worry about washing my hands so much, or cleaning and doing dishes. I will be stocking up on more. This product works.

5 comments about Malco TSHD Turboshear Heavy Duty.
- These scissor type power shears work very well. Mostly I work with copper sheet metal so I prefer them to the double cut models which have a strip of waste product with each cut. Previously I have always used hand snips for all long cuts, these shears save my arm from cramps. Not a perfect edge on the cut, but good enough for roofing products which I mostly do. Very beefy, not too heavy, looks like they will last forever...
- I bought the turboshear hoping it would work as described. I wanted to remove some ribbed metal roofing from the valleys on my house and replace it with flat metal. As I got into the project, It required a combination of turboshear, tin snips and attitude, due to multiple layers. The turboshear could not cut multiple layers but was able to get into pretty tight spots. It definitely made this project go a lot faster. Occasionally if I used too much force trying to get into a tight area, the brackets would slip on the drill handle. This didn't happen a lot. I definitely pushed the limits of the turboshear and was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed.
- I recently re-roofed my house in red metal. The roof had several complex valleys where the metal needed to be cut at various angles. The steel roofing panels were easily cut with the Malco TSHD attachment. I alternated using it between a Ryobi 18 volt battery powered electric drill and a Black & Decker 14.4 volt battery powered Fire Storm drill. Both worked equally well. The Turbo Shear attachment went through the 29 gauge steel like a knife through butter. The 3/4 inch high ribs were not a problem for the Turbo Shear attachment to cut through.
One thing I noticed was that the bottom shear jaw would scratch the metal on it's side; however, by placing the cutter on the waste side, this was eliminated. The spindle has three flats which makes it easy to tighten the battery powered drill's keyless chuck around. If you are installing metal roofing, this is a low-cost alternative to both a nibbler and power shear, plus with the freedom of going cordless.
Buy it.
- This is an awesome tool for me. I'm an HVAC tech that has to cut metal once in a while but not very often. I loathe using hand shears and that makes this a great tool for me. It takes up little room in the van, connects to the drill easily (I've tried it on 2 types, both work great), and it does its job very well.
- I was cutting metal barn siding/roofing with this tool and what a blister saver! cuts like butter. I would highly recommend it. Used it on a cordless craftsman and also a dewalt corded drill
