Excellent tool
We use this for satellite dish installation, and we are very please with its quality and durability. It is not like the cheap imported models. This is much more precise and the scale if very easy to read. We highly recommend it to all of our dish installers. For the price and quality, it is a 5 stars no doubt.

Best regards

Industrial Application
I bought this Angle Gage so we could roughly set the angle of an actuator in a new industrial machine. We were going to purchase a $250 electronic angle gage but the Johnson Level proved so easy to use and the accuracy was so good that we decided to save the money. Even the customer for the machine used the Johnson Gage for the Machine Qualification Tests. We will buy several for use on the test floor as we ramp up production.

Accurate (I think)
I have too many protractors in my shop - and I don’t think any two exactly agree. As near as I can tell, this product is at least as accurate as any of the others. It’s handy to use, though for saw blades I wish it was a little smaller. It’s a good buy, but is one of those devises that’s best not dropped.

Customer Reviews:

Wok fine
What else can I say. No feed problems and although a little more than the cheap brads they always feed cleanly.

They’re brads, alright…
Well packaged and item was exactly as described. Wasn’t in stock and took longer than expected, but multiple shipments are ok with me as long as the seller communicates well and I don’t have to pay for their lack of inventory through multiple shipping bills. Such was the case here.

Bottom line - they’re 18 GA brads, alright…

Brads work great on wood trim
I am building a series of cabinets and use the Bostitch brads for all the trim. I found that the 1 inch brads are exactly what I need for most of my project. I bought the 2 inch brads but find that most of the projects that I have tackled only require the 1 inch.

It took a little bit of time to learn to adjust my compressor to get the air pressure that is needed for the Bostitch brad nailer. I am new at using the nailer but got everything working after a few minutes of playing around. Just make sure use eye protection.

JVCC GLW Glow in the Dark Tape: 1/2 in. x 10 yds. Luminescent Lime Green Description:

JVCC GLW Glow in the Dark Tape is a premium flexible polyester laminated photoluminescent film tape with a permanent adhesive on one side. The photoluminescent pigments absorb and store energy from normal, ambient light. In sudden darkness the tape is immediately visible. The tape provides a non-electric safety marking system that easily and inexpensively affixes to walls, handrails, columns, around door frames, and along stairways and baseboards (provides visibility during an emergency). It is wound on a liner for easy handling. Also used for identification of critical equipment controls, exit and directional signage (especially for escape routes and stairways), light switch covers, labels, decals, novelties, sporting goods, trims and special effects. Used in hotels, hospitals, schools, public facilities, office buildings and manufacturing plants. JVCC Glow in the Dark Tape is fully charged within 30 minutes after exposure to either artificial or natural light and glows brightest the first 15 to 30 minutes after activation has ceased, but will remain clearly visible in a totally dark room to the night-adjusted eye for up to 6 hours (to the night-adjusted eye it is visible, but it would not compare it brightness to say a standard flashlight). It also recharges. The tape has excellent UV stability and does not show significant degradation when used outdoors. The luminescent system used is non-radioactive and non-toxic. The tape is offset, screen, flexo, and thermo transfer printable. Adhesive has a 24 hour dwell time.

Customer Reviews:

Flourescent tape
This is the best product of this type that I have found. It stays very bright. Only a small piece is necessary to light up a path at night. I highly recommend it.

Product is great!
This product works great. It glows for several hours with just a few minutes of light exposure. I used the tape on my stairs and it serves as a night light. The adhesive works fine if you clean and dry the surface before applying. I’ve had the tape on my stairs now for several weeks and even with foot traffic it has not come off.

Really glows in the dark but the adhesive isn’t sticky enough
The purchase was really easy and the delivery was fast. The glow in the dark part really works well, does stand out in a dark place with minimum exposure to sun light, however the adhesive isn’t as good as I was expecting (it does peal off after a couple of weeks).

Customer Reviews:

Great cooler bag! Extra large lunch box…
We’ve owned this bag for a couple of years now. Wanted something larger for the family to use for daytime trips were you would want something but don’t need or want to haul a large cooler (and it saves money by not buying more expensive drinks on the road). Because of the height of the bag it holds both water/juice bottles and soda cans with ease. We use one of the six-pack cooler packs to keep drinks cool. It’ll store 10 bottles/cans easily and twelve-to-fourteen by laying some on their sides/on top. This works great for us (family of 4) and allows us to bring two drinks each and have room for extra snacks stacked inside and using the outside pockets. The outside pockets could be a bit larger but they work fine otherwise.

Excellent
Really good product - purchased to fit between seats where a hard side cooler doesn’t work. Kept drinks cold for 14 hour car trip. We used blue ice bags so can’t confirm it won’t leak if you use real ice, but very nice job with the bags. Also easier to carry than a regular cooler due to the shoulder strap. Product description doesn’t mention it, but there is a velcro hatch on the top so you can reach in without unzipping.

Handy bag…but it’s not waterproof…don’t pack it full of ice as the picture shows
I often work long days and need to pack up breakfast, lunch and dinner in an easy-carry tote with snacks. This is perfect for that, or to carry refreshments to a party. The insulation keeps beverages cold or hot as needed longer than a non-insulated tote and it’s lightweight.

It’s also very nice that it has an opening on the top so you can reach in and grab a drink without unzipping the whole thing.

Why not 5 stars? You will need to use a coldpack for your cold items in order to keep it cold long-term or to keep your bevs at optimum temperature–you can’t use ice in this. Because of the opening of the liner at the zipper and the stitching, ice melting caused leakage. The manufacturer says it’s not waterproof and, granted, it doesn’t state that it is…however I do have another bag in the same price range that has a heavy duty plastic liner that allows it to be waterproof as well…so, since this technology is out there, I do wish this bag allowed for me to use ice too for beverage travel. However, I can live with a cold pack for toting my food.

Conclusion: handy and light to carry. Good insulation. But the addition of the heavy duty plastic on top of the thin liner would have made it waterproof which would have been a real bonus if you want to fill it with ice. Look for leakage after several hours if you put in ice (bummer)…but for a quick trip it won’t leak.

Customer Reviews:

Overall very pleased
Received this from Amazon yesterday and have spent the day doing a number of projects with it (driveway, vinyl siding, engine compartment of a car I am working on, etc…). Overall, I am very pleased. The pressure is pretty impressive for an electric unit and the nozzle allows for easy adjustment of the stream width.

The quality of the device is similar to what you would get from a residential vacuum cleaner, which means that it seems like it will hold up ok, but there are parts that could easily be broken if you were careless. The water input is probably the most likely thing to break as it is plastic and someone tripping over the hose could break it off. Also, you have to push pretty hard the first time or two to get the quick-connect to catch. That said, for a non-commercial unit, it is not bad at all and seems as good as anything else in the price range if not better.

The biggest complaint I have is with the instruction manual. It tells you nothing. I could not figure out how to get the detergent dispenser to work and called their customer service number. I mentally prepared myself for the multiple phone prompts and broken english, but I was pleasantly suprised as person with an American accent picked up the phone immediately, was friendly, and had the information to help me (the detergent only works on low pressure - again, something that should be in the manual, but isn’t).

If you are looking for an inexpensive, around-the-house pressure washer and need something a little more powerful than the baseline units, this one would be a good consideration.

Major design flaw
I only had this item for a day. That is because after I unboxed it and set it up to use, the plastic quick connect they use for the incoming water, from your hose, was actually blown off the pressure washer. I have several other plastic quick connects, of better quality, I use for changing sprayers on my garden hose. I figured maybe the included quick connect had a hairline fracture or was just faulty in some way. So, I exchanged the broken one with one of mine. Again I squeezed the trigger and the same thing happened. The pressure washer cycled on and the second I let go of the trigger, the back pressure again blew the new quick connect off the back of the machine. Though this time it didn’t just snap the teeth that hold it on the nipple (this quick connect actually grabbed much better), but snapped the entire quick connect in half. It takes an awful lot of sudden high pressure to do that. This is when I knew it was poorly designed, so I packed it up and sent it back. Unless you have an anti-syphon valve at the faucet outside, then all this pressure will be forced back into the pipes in your house. If you do have an anti-syphon valve, then the hose used to supply water to the pressure washer will need to absorb the additional back pressure and depending on the quantity of water and quality of hose, that could mean busted hoses. I don’t understand why they would design a pressure washer that builds pressure in both directions, it seems stupid to me. Or, on the hand, I received a lemon in which case I still wouldn’t want a product from a company with that little quality control.

Garbage! Don’t buy it!
I have had this machine since the end of October 2009. Used it to clean the carport and three sides of a 24×48 mobile right away. It worked fine, though weighs a ton. Christmas Eve, I moved everything off the screened porch and set up to clean it and the front of the mobile. Halfway through, I was interupted for about an hour and when I returned to my work, the machine would not work. After some research, with which Amazon was absolutely no help, I found a number for American Lawnmower Co., the manufacturer. I was sent, without charge nor proof of purchase, a brand new machine about a week later. Yippee! I was thrilled. I also guessed they’d had lots of trouble with this machine. It was too cold to do any pressure washing again until a few days ago - the new machine would not even turn on, completely DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Ironically, the old machine did start, but only for about an hour, and that was intermittant at that. Four minutes on, four minutes off. I am not looking forward to calling the company again, but I will.

A waste of money and so much frustration! I needed this tool and generally depend on Amazon to provide good products and service. This product and Amazon failed.

Customer Reviews:

excellent value
i am very happy with my two salt lamps. they are huge; they look wonderful with just a little xmas bulb. they are always “on” & working to improve my environment (i live off a main thoroughfare with a lot of traffic). i recommend this product both for its appearance and its health-giving properties. i already had one salt lamp that i got about 5 years ago. it is still operating, 24/7, and i think i changed the bulb only 2 or 3 times.

Very poor packing
I’m sure the lamps would look good if they were not so beat up. I suppose I could blame the shipping co. But that would not be fair. The 2 lamps 30lbs, were in a flimsy cardboard box which was not sturdy enough for this weight. It was a little mangled. Inside I expected to find the lamps in nice boxes as most things come in, instead it was almost paper thin & totaly mangled & torn. No way I can use them. Others I have bought are always nicely boxed for gift giving. Worst of all the lamps are half white & looked scraped & salt is falling off.
This is no way to deliver a package. I won’t be giving these to anyone for Christmas.
Very disappointing

Excellent Product, speedy delivery, very satisfied!
First the product is excellent! Good size, good looking, and has made a noticeable difference in air quality in just two days!

Second, shipping was very fast! I suspect they are pre-boxed and ready to go out the door.

The internal boxes did look imported, but the product did not suffered for low quality card board boxes, the outer box was sturdy, and stuffing was more than adequate to prevent jostling.

Overall, one of the better shopping experiences of the year!

One pleased customer!
I work in a medical office where they keep it very very warm. I had been looking for a fan to use that would work on batteries because I sometimes work from a different desk and it would make it easier to just pick it up and move it without having to unplug it and look for another place to plug it back in. After searching and finding this one I thought I would give it a try.
After about a month of using it I am extremely satisfied. The ease of moving it around and the different positions that you can direct the air flow is great. But best of all this fan really puts out the air for its size. I was even surprised at just how quiet it runs. I can just pick it up and set it anywhere I want without a cord to contend with. It did come with an adapter to plug it in if needed.
This fan is all that the description said it was and more! I am very very satisfied with it!!!

R.Smith

Compact and powerful
The temperature in my office is often hot and stuffy, especially in the afternoon. This fan works so quietly I can talk on the phone or in-person while it is running right beside me. It cools the room quickly, and is easily adjusted for speed and direction (so it cools without blowing papers off the desk. The size is just right - big enough and well-designed to cool fast, but has a very small footprint on your workspace. Having a choice of AC or battery power is a nice bonus for convenience.

I ordered and received the black color. The shipping time took 1-2 weeks, but as an Amazon Prime user anything more than 2 days seems like forever now.

This is exactly as advertised: a cooling personal fan, perfect for desktop or table top use. Also great for ladies experiencing “personal summers”.

Does the job nicely!
Love this fan!! The color was a dark plum (which I liked) but I don’t recall having a choice on that. It works great. The biggest downside is remembering to shut it off at the end of the day as it is so quiet, you forget. Energizer d cells lasted about 3 weeks at avg 5 hrs. per day. Might try rechargeable next.

Customer Reviews:

Best price, but still costly
This is the best price I have found. I would prefer to buy them in larger lots at a still lower unit cost.

Unfortunately, as with the other Multimax blades, the cost exceeds what is reasonable for the material, packaging, and shipping, but when one company has a monopoly you have few choices. I expected a longer life for the teeth, but there is no competitor (yet) making a superior product.

However, when you have a critical need for this tool — limited space, minimal dust, precision of cut — the cost is not the issue. My Multimax has paid for itself — and even the expensive blades — by saving me time.

Great for the longer cuts
Been using this blade for longer cuts in plywood, use the other wood blades for plunge and corner cuts. One thing ‘bad’ about these blades is that the attacment area is not indented and you can not use the whole width of the blade for cutting.

From the Manufacturer
The Dremel multimax represents the newest in a long line of high speed rotary tools and accessories. Its ease of use, precision, versatility and problem solving capabilities make the Dremel multimax system the perfect tool for crafters, hobbyists, do-it-yourselfers and trade professionals.
