5 comments about Super-Bright 9 LED Heavy-Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight - Cool Blue.
- These 2 flashlites I bought for our trip to Alaska have worked great. Bright light sure helps in the darkness to see your way. Cool blue color, too. Sturdy construction and small enough to tuck into a corner of our travel bags we use on trips and store for emergency use if needed.
- I had misgivings as soon as I removed this flashlight from it's packaging. It has a thin gauge aluminum case that could easily be dented or torn. When I first powered up this flashlight, I was impressed by the diffused bright light. It lit up close by objects, but offered no illumination for objects more than 10 feet away.
My biggest complaint is the reliability. I dropped it once. It stopped working. I am pretty handy with my hands, but I was unable to get the flashlight to light up again.
- First did not work at all, and the second has a broken seal. They both have warnings on them to wash hands after use due to lead contamination...so much for giving them to the kids!
- Nice product for a good price. Reliable, bright, and lightweight light for hiking, biking, handyman, and emergency uses.
- It has a decently bright, fixed narrow flood pattern, in the bluish-white spectrum. Useful for walking at night, and its 3.5" length is great for for cramped spaces. Compared to the $25 Dorcy 41-4275, it's less focused and has less power. Can't be beat for $5.50!

5 comments about Black and Decker PS1MVC 8.4-Volt to 14.4-Volt 1 Hour Pod Style Battery Charger.
- I could not find this product locally at all the normal outlets. I found it easily on Amazon, it was exactly what I needed and performs as expected.
- The product works exactly the way it was explained in the product description. The product was delivered timely and in perfect condition.
- My old Power Storm Batterys hit their final days. I bought new batterys and they worked great. Unfortunatly my old charger took a dump the third time I charged the new batterys. If you have an original black box power storm charger and just bought new batteries, Trust Me and get this charger too and bring new life to your old Power Storm tools. It charges them faster then the original too.
- This unit replaces a failed charger that came with the equipment. I am still fuming that B&D would put out a poor quality charger, only for it to fail in less than to 2 years. Then after several attempts to have them replace the charger, they forced me to buy a replacement charger of better quality. From all my research, the poor quality charger is well known to B&D and they did nothing to satisfy their customers. Poor...very poor. I am no longer a B&D customer. The replacement charger works fine and I am sure it will last for many years. The purchase and delivery was flawless through Amazon.
- As advertised, this is a quick-charge battery charger. It appears to charge my 14.4V battery in about an hour. I don't think the charge lasts as long as it should, so having an extra battery on-hand for major chores is suggested.

5 comments about DEWALT DC9096-2 18-Volt XRP 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery, 2 Pack.
- The batteries arrived from Amazon days before the estimated delivery date. I ordered the two-pack direct from Amazon (my preferred choice) and the batteries came in a plastic packaged two pack, not taken from another kit as others have expressed. They took a charge and have been working fine for over a week. I have never had a Dewalt battery fail out of the box and anticipate these will live up to their advertised life span.
Additionally, I read several reviews complaining about the price of the battery; agreed, I would love to get these batteries for the price of oh...say Ryobi batteries, but then I could only expect the performance of the tools they drive to be as good as the Ryobi. There is a reason Dewalt tools are tough and put out so much torque. It has a lot to do with the battery. More often than not, you get what you pay for.
- Unlike almost every other manufacturers batteries, DeWalt 18 volt product lasts. I have three Craftsman tools - drill, light, and trim saw - that I no longer use as both batteries failed within a couple of years. I have some DeWalts that have lasted five years and are still trucking.
- If you have DeWalt tools, this is the battery pack for you. Two 18V batteries will keep you going for quite a while. These came quickly & the price was right, so this 2-pack is highly recommended.
- DeWalt DC9096-2 18-Volt XRP 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery, 2 Pack
We really like these batteries, my husband uses these in our remodeling business and they are a great help. No long extension cords to contend with. They are great.
- I have many cordless tools. I find Makita batteries far better than Dewalt. The last Dewalt 18v, 2.4a battery I bought lasted 3 months. The remaining battery holds a good charge for a short time. When it dies, I'll through away the tool it came with and buy another Makita. Don't buy Dewalt batteries. They are almost as bad as Craftsman. Dewalt batteries get zero stars from me. I also have Dewalt corded tools. They all work fine.

5 comments about Belkin SurgeMaster 6-Outlet Surge Protector (4ft, 709 Joules).
- The product works exactly as you would expect. My only critism is that it tips over pretty easily. Also, be sure that what you want to plug into it has small plugs and not the big "boxes" at the end, because you'll end up with only 3 useable slots if they are all "boxes."
- Does what its supposed to do with no problems. Nothing more I can ask for.
- I bought this to plug in a laptop, psp and a lamp. It works fine, feels solid. The cord is thick too. I recommend it.
- Had an arc jump from this unit while I was attempting to plug a component in. I thought that I was going to fry my DVD player.
- I'm living in the dorms at my college so I needed a surge protector and I came upon this. I didn't need that many outlets so this was great for me. This has been working really well so far and I have no problems with it.

5 comments about Belkin 6 Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector.
- This surge protector from Belkin does a good job of protecting electronic equipment from any damage or problems should there be a power surge. I have used this product for a while now with an older computer. You do get a warranty with this mechanism, too.
The surge protector benefits from a simplistic design; for people like myself this is certainly sufficient to protect my older computer and printer. I guess it could protect stereo systems, too, if they're not too sophisticated. There are six power outlets that also, of course, allow you to protect and plug in six things all at once. Just plug in the surge protector into an electrical outlet and there you are.
The cord does extend not much more than two and one-half feet and that's a definite minus. Some people remark that it's tough to see the on/off buttons but I haven't had a problem with that. Oh, well.
Obviously, I would never use this to light up a fish tank or place it near anything liquid. That could clearly start a fire. I also wouldn't trust this surge protector to protect any major appliances; it seems a bit too basic for that serious a workload.
Overall, I have had no problems with this Belkin surge suppressor--but it's equally true that it's a very basic surge protector that doesn't really lend itself for heavy duty use. That cord is way too short, too! I recommend this product either as an emergency spare surge protector or as a surge protector for older computers or other electrical appliances that are not heavy duty.
- It just works great...
Great Item for the price and Prime members get FREE shipping.
Thank you Amazon
Purchase 12 for the office. These are much better ones than the local hardware store carries plus you get a real name behind the product Belkin.
- This is a surge protector which is definitely better than not having any protection at all. Those cheap strips that only give you extra outlets don't provide the same protection for the same price you pay at home depot or staples. This works well and i have not had any problems.
- One plug does not work, but for the price, it was still worth it. A nice, basic surge protector!
- I gave it 5 stars not because the product is that outstanding, but the service provided by Amazon Prime is. I bought it via my Prime account and my item arrived as scheduled. However it got stolen from my front door before I could collect it. I called up Amazon and they reissued a new one for me with free one-day shipping. This time I was at home to receive it and the product is working fine for me.

5 comments about Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler #CRO101.
- I bought one of these and when I seen how well it worked, I bought two more. They really do keep the deer away from my plants. My azaleas were in bloom this spring and I didn't have to place nets over them. In fact, the deer have learned to walk around the perimeter of the yard as not to set off the scarecrow. Once I set up the scarecrows, I left them in place. I may have to move them around some next year just to keep the deer wondering. I do get sprayed myself sometimes but it is kind of fun. I learned that if I run fast enough, I can get by them before they spray me.
I do wish they had a larger/wider sensor to pick up movement over a wider area of the yard.
I'm not complaining though, these are so much better than anything else I've tried. Too bad I can't use them during the winter!!
- I bought my Scarecrow to deal with skunks that are digging for grubs throughout my small front yard. It has appeared to generally work, though certainly not entirely. The main failing I see for the product is the limited sensor range. The water will easily sweep my entire lawn, but it's difficult to find a placement that ensures a skunk anywhere in the yard will trip it. Seems it works better if you have a narrow space through which animals are traveling.
That said, it's definately reduced the frequency that I've found myself filling little holes in the lawn each morning. And one last thing- there's no swivel ring on the hose connection which makes putting the hose on and off akward, cause you have to rotate the sprinkler around the hose. So I'd recommend getting some quick release fittings to boot.
- I live in an area that is dominated by cat lovers, but I am a bird lover. My feeding area for birds became a smorgasbord for cats. Every few days I would find a pile of Dove feathers. I was seriously thinking of taking down my feeders. Then a friend told me of a water sprayer to keep unwanted pests out of your yard, I looked on Amazon and sure enough there was the Scarecrow. I ordered one and in five days had my new defense against cats. I had a great time watching cats scatter as the Scare Crow sprayed them with water. In only two days things changed from direr straights to victory. The enemy now cowers in cover far from my bird feeders. Instead of saying "hey you cats get out of here," I say "hey cats, do you want a bar of soap and towel with that shower?"
- Before the Scarecrow, my garden was being "eaten alive" by all sorts of pests...racoons, skunks, squirrels, etc. Even after covering with chicken wire and mesh, they figured out a way to get in. With the scarecrow in place, I took down the ugly chicken wire and my garden was left untouched! It's a terrific concept (wish I would have thought of it) that really truly works. Just have to remember to turn it off before tending to your crops, or else your its next victim. Fantastic product!
- We were having a difficult time keeping rabbits off our lawn. One had returned yet again to start another nest, after I had cautiously relocated her bunnies from her last litter to another area. I was concerned as I did not want to cause any harm to her offspring. Once this product was installed, it was able to detect the slightest motion in its path, and a stream of water would scare it off. We have not seen any more rabbits on the lawn since this was installed, however we did water down a guy sent to do some lawn work at our request!! NOTE: If the scarecrow is set at its most sensitive, a strong breeze or wind will also set it off.

5 comments about Fein 63502151020 1-1/8-Inch Universal E-Cut Blade, 3 Pack.
- I have used this tool in a variety of applications and was very pleased. The concept, construction, blade changing, instructions, and general quality are high. But like other reviewers, I feel that it is overpriced, at least for non-professional users, who would be happy with a lesser quality tool. Perhaps the greatest problem is the high price of blades and other accessories.
If it and the blades last 10 years, though, I will feel very satisfied.
- Love the tool, I own and operate a high volume door/millwork business. I use mine daily. The cost of the blades is way too high, but they can be re sharpened several times. There are several sharpening services in my area that sharpen everything from kitchen knives to bandsaw blades, the guy we use even comes to the jobsite to pick up the blades every few weeks and resharpens them right in his van. I use the metal+wood e-cut blades and the scraper blades almost exclusively. There is no other tool on the market that even comes close to performing like the multimaster, the cost to operate would make it too high if we did not sharpen our blades though.
- If you do not have a Fein multi master, get on line and order one. This is an awesome tool and blows away the others. Especially if you are a contractor, the similar tools are more a handy man around the house tool where the Fein is a contractor ready tool
- After purchasing the Multimaster kit with multiple accessories, I was a little reluctant to use the E-cut blade for anything but wood. After a short time of usage, it was clear that I would need to cut through some nail embedded wood. I was shocked to see that blade was still sharp as new. I was sold immediately. I purchased additional blades only after I unknowingly cut through a couple drywall screws in a counter top. The blades' teeth wore down from being razor-sharp to an almost toothless state. Believe it or not, I still use the blade when I'm not sure what is embedded in the wood and it still cuts! My suggestion for long life would be to avoid any hardened metal such as drywall screws, cut nails , etc and you'll be happy with these blades.
- Great product, way too expensive. Would use tool more if the replacement blade wern't so expensive.

5 comments about Frigidaire PureSource2 Refrigerator Water Filter (FC-100, WF2CB).
- Does what it is supposed to do, company recommends changing out every 3 months, i go by the filter monitoring system embedded in my fridge wich usally last about a year , but that might be due to the quality of water from Baton Rouge,
- The Frigidaire PureSource2 Refrigerator Water Filter was received within a week! Great service and everything was exactly as stated on the website. Would definitely order again.
- I was happy with my order because it was on time when I needed most. Thank you guys.
- My Fridge of 2 years uses this PureSource2 filter and I must say that I am impressed with the taste of the water and the ability to trap impurities in the water itself. When it came time to replace the filter, I wanted to go with the genuine Frigidaire brand rather than chance an inferior imitation. When I removed the old filter ( which is very easy ) I was shocked to see all the 'stuff' it had trapped that I would have otherwise drank. The side panel on the box reads:
*Reduces Cysts by 99.99%
*Reduces Particulates by 99.10%
*Reduces Turbidity by 97.80%
*Reduces Aesthetic Chlorine by 97.40%
*Reduces Lead by 99.30%
*Reduces Mercury by 96.60%
*Reduces Herbicides 2, 4-D by 99.90%, Alachlor by 97.30%, and Atrazine by 94.60%
The rated capacity is 6-9 months, or 400 gallons - whichever comes first to enjoy optimal performance. However, I use them much longer mostly in an effort to save a few bucks. As the particles build up over time in the filter, the water output will begin to come out slower from the Fridge water tap - This is a good indication for me that it's time to replace the filter. There are little labels that are supplied with the filter so you know when to change it if you don't happen to have a filter status light on your Fridge model.. My label says I was supposed to change it in June and it's now September and I can see that the water is coming out much slower. Impatient to stand there for 10 seconds to fill a glass of water I finally replaced it today.
- The filter was the exact model I ordered and arrived on time. The best part about my purchase is the price. I attempted to purchase the product locally from two major appliance retailers, who normally price match any item, but both declined the sale because they informed me the price was below their cost. Thanks for a great deal and timely delivery.

- This product is great, the water taste so much fresher and cleaner since I put in the new water filter.
Thank you, so much
- This product works great and really makes a difference in the quality of the water we use from our KitchenAid refrigerator.
- I had a good experience with this vendor. I recommned this product. I have had problems with other filters leaving an after-taste in the water even a few days after installing it. That has not been the case with these filters. Water tastes good immediately after installing the filter.
- Everything went very smoothly and shipping was very prompt. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again!
- This filter fits perfectly (even though it says Whirlpool) and works great. Ice and water taste so much better than the water straight out of the tap.
