5 comments about VideoSecu Tilt TV wall mount Plasma TV LCD Large Flat Panel Displays Televisions Black 1GR.
- This mount was everything promised and more. For one fourth the price in the stores the mount was sturdy and easy to install. 20 minutes out of the box onto the wall. No complaints!
- This mount is a terrific value plus it's easy to install. And that's a good thing because the instructions aren't stellar. All I had to do was find two appropriate studs, mark the holes, drill pilot holes, bolt it in place, connect the vertical mounts to the TV and marry the two together. The only wrinkle was when I had to reverse the left and right vertical mounts for the TV. I thought the instructions could have been much clearer on that point but still it was an easy job. The end product is excellent with enough strength the handle my 40" Samsung set with ease. I could hang from the mount if I were so inclined. This product deserves a solid five stars.
- It was easy to mount, didn't have any issues, and it was 1/2 the cost of any retail store which is the big plus. My T.V is still on the wall and intact, and it seems to be very sturdy.
- Bought it for a 47" vizio, and it holds up very well. Only recommendation would be to go to a hardware store and buy better bolts. I had read other reviews about the bolts just breaking/snapping, so I decided not to chance it and automatically bought a few better quality bolts. I still gave it five stars because even with buying a few screws you cant beat the price/quality of this mount!
- The bracket works fine. The only fault I find is in the directions; they weren't clear, at least to me

5 comments about Dremel 697-06 150-Piece Rotary Tool Super-Accessory Assortment.
- the dremel parts kit is over rated- the 150 item inventory count includes the duplicate parts like cutting disc, sanding and polish accessories= disposable parts not tools for the dremel.
so there are only about 20 real and specific items here w/ the rest of the 150 pieces being many disposable -consumable items.
- This is a nice add on to my dremel...it's in a nice box to keep it orginized as well.
- This kit only has a few extra items over the ones that came with the tool. Everything has worked as it should however do not expect to get anything terrific.
- Dinah our Corgidor is a real drama queen when it comes time to get her nails clipped. Unforrtunately she has been nicked on numerous occassions and she doesn't forget. The dremel tool is the perfect solution! She will sit and let us file down her nails, with no fuss! Thank you for the answer to this problem....we have a much happier dog and less Vet expesne for Pawdicures!!
- I started my dremel tool collection back during in 1990, and have owned several. The mighty-mite is one I used the most for my art sculpting & for doing my dogs' nails. This dremel tool accessory pack allows me more ways to give my sculptures of dogs the realism my patrons want. Also makes a great birthday gift, you hear that Honey, hint, hint.

5 comments about BIKE LIFT.
- I had researched other products for much more $$$. I found that this product is quite good for what is was designed for. If you are half way mechanically inclined, you should have no trouble at all. The instructions are easily understood and written for the backyard mechanic.
- Excellent product and well worth the money. Virtually identical to a more expensive model offered by another manufacturer. Fairly easy to install once you find the ceiling joists. Recommend NOT cutting the extra rope until you lower it to the ground the first time. It makes putting the bike back up a little challenging if the rope is too short! If you need extra room in your garage this product is a must have!
- We researched a lot of similar products via online reviews, settling on this one as having the greatest likelihood of highest quality / best price and WE ARE VERY PLEASED :)
Here are some key things we'd like you to know:
1. It takes some time to get these things mounted right, so just plan on it... you need to string the rope through the 4 pieces and pulleys just so, mount them on joists just so, and ensure the distance between the two pieces is just right for your bike. We recommend at least two people, chips and salsa, and perhaps a coors light.
2. You can mount several bikes fairly close together if you offset the handlebars a bit forward and back among the mounts so that the handlebars never "share the same space." Our mounts run parallel to the joists spaced at 24" and we mounted 5 bikes, one on each joist side-by-side. Darling husband used long screws from the hardware store rather than the hardware included in the package.
3. It is important that the BACK tire go against the wall where the rope coming out of the brake will be cleated. The whole rope and braking mechanism works so well this way ... if you put the handlebars on the wall side like the picture for this product, then the handlebars block you moving the rope to operate the brake (trust, trust, trust me on this). If you put the back tire to the wall, the rope moves freely :)
4. The distance between the ceiling and the bike will not be related to how far up the handlebars or the seat stick up ... it will be the length of the hardware above where it hooks on -- this may be important to you if you are mounting above a car and top-to-bottom distance matters. We mounted three of our bikes above a mini-van roof (the other two in front) and it was important to choose the lower profile bikes as not all of the bikes would have fit directly above the van.
5. On arrival, the instructions said the mounts would hold 100 pounds (which is more than we had read here online). Our tandem bike fully equipped is just under 50 pounds and seems very secure and happy.
6. These are designed for the top rounded section of the lower hook assembly to fit into the rounded section of the ceiling mounted pulleys. The hooks will only fit into the ceiling part if the two pieces mounted on the ceiling are spaced EXACTLY to fit the specific bike where the hooks will grab the seat and handlebars. You'll be much more pleased if you take the time to get this spacing right (you can tell by letting the hooks hang down while you are choosing the mounting position ~ gravity will allow the ropes to work as a plumb line :)
7. If you are going to cut the rope shorter, only do so when the bike is in the down position ... once the bike is lowered, this cool contraption uses a lot of the rope!
Bon Appetit!
- I never have space for anything anymore, especially my bike. I know me and plenty of other people can find a place to put these things, they just take up so much space. Well now that I I got this item, my day is actually brighter. I don't know why I'm so happy with this product, but it worked great for me and is lasting very well. I've got to recommend this to all, because I'm sure you'll be happy with it too. It even comes with a lifetime warranty, isn't that sweet. Even the heavy bikes can by hung by this, trust me I know.
- I purchased four of these hoists for a small adult road bike, a large adult mountain bike, a small adult mountain bike, and a child's bike. They easily lift and store all sizes of our bikes. Even my 10-year old can get his bike up and down using the hoist. They have a great locking mechanism so you don't have to tied the rope down to secure the bike in the up position, and you can use it to securely "hold" the bike on the way up or down if you need to. The rope seems a bit skimpy, but as other reviewers said, can be easily replaced if it starts to fray. Phenomenal value at $14.95.

5 comments about Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger.
- This is an excellent surge protector with 2 USB plugs to charge your various USB-pluggable devices (iPods, cell phones). It works great, but it's pretty bulky, so you don't want to use it for a travel charger.
- This is a solid little unit! I have yet to successfully rotate the electrical prongs (the instructions say to push in a button and rotate the plug but I either don't have the hand strength or mine is stuck) but I'm very happy with it otherwise. Hotels aren't known for stellar wiring so I like having a surge protector for travel. I love the extra USB ports for charging peripherals too!
- This successfully charged my iPod Nano, Nuvi GPS, compact Energizer battery charger, and Motorola RazR. I appreciated the rotating plug feature; the main improvement I would seek is a folding plug that would make for a more compact package while travelling. The provided plug protector can be secured to the mini-USB cable, and is otherwise at risk for loss. I found the potential to eliminate several chargers or running my laptop solely to charge portable devices a welcome addition to my travel kit.
- This is a great item it is small enough to use anywhere. My husband really likes the usb access on the end so he can charge his ipod and not have to use his computer. The cord which came with it also works with my motorola cell phone and will charge that. You can not get a cell phone charger from the dealer for less than this item. We like it so much I am going to order another one with my next purchase. Great product all around!
- Helped reduce my travel bag of AC extension, cables, chargers etc. Worked perfectly with my iPhone, iPOD and Garmin GPS. There's 3 AC adapter I could leave home! The plug turns 360 degrees which adapted to virtually any wall outlet I tried it with. Seems pretty sturdy - I'll let you know after it has traveled 50,000 miles - if it holds up as well as me - I'll give it another Thumbs Up.

5 comments about Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric 12-Inch Grass Hog String Trimmer/Edger #NST2018.
- I purchased this about one month ago and have used it twice. It works really well on trimming down grass at the edge of my driveway and garden. I haven't used it to trim anything thicker than that. It was a little heavy and the day after using it my arms were aching but that is probably my fault for being out of shape!
- I have a 60 x 100 lot. It took 4 batteries (2 from trimmer + 2 from my power tools) to trim my lot. I know my batteries are good, so this thing does take a lot of power. When the auto feed works and at full battery power, the trimmer does a good job. Otherwise, it requires patience. At lease it's better than dragging an electrical cord around.
- It was represented as having 9 hours of power. I don't know if they were counting 1 or both batteries. Either way, it ran about 1 hour per battery.
- First let me say, this trimmer is not going to replace your gas trimmer by any means.
For quick, light duty jobs, the trimmer handled itself very well. I completed my trimming chores on my 1/2 acre yard on one fully charged battery. The trimmer handled grass and thin-stemmed weeds around trees, the foundation, downspouts, concrete patio edge, and uneven brick trim with ease. Another plus the trimmer is light weight. Your arms and back won't ache using and carrying the trimmer around the yard.
The trimming line fed out as advertised and it was a big time-saver not to have to interupt my work session to manually feed the line out like I would two or three times when using my gas trimmer. One word of caution, as the battery weakens and if you bog the trimmer head down in heavy grass, there is an increased risk of line breakage without the new line feeding out properly. I experienced no problem but don't force the trimmer and keep the batteries fully charged.
As far as the noise level goes, the trimmer was much quieter than my gas trimmer. I mean no one in the house was rushing to close their window as I trimmed outside their room.
I was very pleased with how well the trimmer worked as an edger. After completing my trimming chores and without replacing the battery, I gave the trimming head a quick
- The Black & decker Cordless Trimmer is great to have. I used the
product 6 times since I got and did better than one I have before.
Now I go places where I did go before when I electric cord trimmer.
I would rcommend this product everyone even people who have gas trimmer.
Less depend on gasoline and more electric.

5 comments about Alden Grabit Broken Bolt and Damaged Screw Exractors, 4-Piece Set.
- It is ok, it works but not every time. I had removed 4 screws successfully, but had problem with one other where it didn't work that well, so I had to drill it out. Good Luck...
- Received a different item for Christmas last year and decided I wanted this product. This has 2 tools in one which i liked.
- I have been wanting these easy-outs for some time now, but never needed to use them. Stripped a small screw while working on my bike...that thing was like butter. Used the Alden the day I got it in the mail. Instructions were thorough...product was easy to use...screw backed out real smooth.
A++ in my books...great purchase...needs to be in everyone's toolbox
- I used this product to remove old storm windows with layers of paint on the screws. When I first received it I was leery since it is made in China. I thought it would not stand up after the first couple of screws. To my amazement it allowed me to remove about 44 screws. If you are interested in removing only the heads of screws, use a bigger size than recommended and you can do the job in one step without having to flip the bit over. Good luck on your project.
- It looked like I was going to have to replace the plastic refrigerator roof vent cover on my camper. While resealing seams on the campers roof I discovered the vent cover could not be removed because the head of one of the recessed screws securing the vent was so corroded the metal was crumbling. I thought I would have to break the vent to remove it then replace the mounting plate and vent cover - cost about $75. A contractor friend suggested I try Grabit. At first I had difficulty. The side of the bit which the directions say will burnish and make a recess in the screw head didn't do the job. So, I sank a small pilot hole with a standard drill bit and then used the removal side of the Grabit bit. It worked the first time. Now all I need is to replace the screws not the vent.

5 comments about Malibu 3-Pack Solar Landscape Plastic Flood Light Set with Remote Panel, Textured Black #LZ413.
- Placed the 3 Malibu Solar Flood lamps to illuminate an American flag on a tall pole, they light it up fine, happy with the effect and they stay lit all night.
- The unit arrived on time and it seems to work OK. The only problem I have/had with it is that it was clearly a used item. It was already wired (last one I bought directly from a store wasn't) AND it was already charged up for nighttime lighting. (Normally, it takes at least a day to absorb sufficient sun rays to work at night.)
- I have had this set for almost a year now. I replaced the three AA batteries with Duracell 2650mAh rechargeable, after the first two weeks. These are installed in a dog kennel (built as a horse barn). The solar panel faces south. The lights remain constant bright until the sun comes up and shuts them off each morning. I spliced in longer wires for each light so the distance from the solar panel is about 20 or 25 feet for each one. The light does not attract any bugs, no flies, knats, moths, nothing. Each individual light is directed into a different room of the kennel, and gives enough light that no additional light is needed to get around safely. I have electricity in the kennel, with flood lights installed also, but don't use them every time I go in there. These solar lights provide enough light for the dogs to get around safely at night, see their food bins, and water buckets, and I have one enclosed room for them (with electric heater) and the solar light I have in there gives them light all night. Mounted about 7 feet up, these lights do not give a light bright enough to distract from sleeping, but do easily provide enough light for safe walking around. Some mornings during the winter months they are dim, but these are during cloudy days, of several in a row, and most winter mornings the lights remain bright. Using the
Duracell Rechargable 2650 mAh batteries make an improvement in their length of time. I have tried other brands of solar lights, these are without a doubt the best ever. After 10 months of recharging in the solar pack, I have not yet needed to replace these Duracell 2650 mAh rechargeable batteries. Get these solar lights if you want bug free, bright blue-white light all night long, night after night, but I would replace the three AA batteries with the Duracell Rechargable 2650 mAh batteries to be sure of the best possible performance.
- Needed a light to accent my climbing rose bush to keep the rose beetles off. Wanted enough illumination to keep the bugs off but not so bright that the light would shine into the neighbors window. Had single solar lights that were too dim. These are much brighter and cover more area. Getting another set and the whole bush should be covered. Just what I needed.
- I bought 4 sets of these at an Amazon sale a little over a year ago. I found them to be highly variable. One set is terrific and continues to perform well after a year. Another initially worked well but now has only one remaining light working (not a bulb problem as I have switched terminals to no effect) but at least it is bright. The other two sets do not work at all. I tried replacing the batteries with high end Sony rechargeable AAs to no avail. I sent an email to Malibu about the problems I have had with these lights over 6 months ago but never received a reply.

5 comments about Magna Cart Elite 2 Hand Truck.
- I sometimes need to transport several computers at a time this product has been a great timesaver. It's build stronger than I expected and folds up in just the right size to strap upright in the van. Perfect.
- I bought this hand truck to move my kids into their dorms. What a life saver. Just pile on and push or pull. No more lugging or straining. Folds to a neat package so there is more room for dorm stuff.
- I ordered one for work for the techs to cart IT equipment around. They like it so much I've been asked to get three more! It's not a bulky as the much larger hand cart we have and it still can be used to transport lots of equipment.
- This is a handy collapsible hand truck. It will not carry really heavy items but the design makes it very storable. It folds into a flat pack you can hang on a wall or store out of the way and is fairly rugged and well made. Well worth the price!
- Using this cart as a dock cart. Elegant, sturdy design. I can cart 20 gallons of diesel with some clever bungi cord placements.

5 comments about DeWalt DC9091 XRP 14.4-Volt 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery.
- the batteries work good. The price was way better then what I found at the local hardware store.
- The shipping was prompt and the deal was better than anywhere else. I shopped around before purchasing this item, and was impressed at the bargain and the quality of the product. The product arrived just as promised and was exactly as advertised.
- DeWalt DC9091 XRP 14.4-Volt 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Batteryreceived battery & it works as it should. I would order again if I needed another & it was free shipping also.
- I've used these batteries before and like them. Eventually they get old and won't hold a charge so I have to replace them. These folks sell them for about a 30% discount than what I can find them locally. I can use the savings...to buy gasoline.
- I received the DeWalt batteries very quickly and in great shape, and at a fair price.
