great stuff pro gun 13
I like this gun but if you have high usage go with the pro 15 (teflon coating and more)
otherwise I really like the fine adjustments

Works great
For DIY this is great, finally I have control over GreatStuff. I’ve left it over two months between uses and with a little scraping the gun + old can still work. Be sure to buy the yellow cleaning can though as I’ve it dry up in the tube when leaving it way too long between uses.

Don’t expect this to be any cheaper than the cheap disposable cans, but you will do a much better/cleaner job.

Good insulating gun
I purchased this gun to insulate my second house. What I like most about it is that you can store the partially used can on the gun and if you keep the screw closed it will last forever. The store bought cans with the plastic hose don’t last very long once open. For all around use, use the door and window insulation. The crack insulation gets harder and expands more making it better for the large openings.

Customer Reviews:

Best Leatherman ever
Got this for my husband for Christmas. He has had a Leatherman for the last 25 years, and had had his old one rebuilt twice! It was lost cutting brush last year and he really missed it, so I bought him this one. He LOVES it, says it is the best ever built. Special locking features add safety (and he is a safety nut), and the matte black finish is great. Only drawback, he doesn’t like the case much, says it’s indestructible but too bulky. Oh well……You will like this thing!

Great product but WARNING about bad seller
Leatherman is a highly respected name that makes top notch products. You get what you pay for. However, with such a pricey item I CANNOT recommend the seller “Buy From The Best Inc.” Their customer service has a major attitude and are extremely rude. I was forced to cancel my order with them and go with a different seller. Notice the other poor guy who wrote a review on this item, saying he received the wrong item altogether from this company. Apparently this company makes a habit of being unprofessional. Don’t trust these guys. Their feedback is high probably becuase so many people like me had to cancel our orders in frustration and therefore couldn’t leave feedback.

Perfect
I have used this at least once a day since I got it. The best part is that each of the various functions do not skimp on quality. I would HIGHLY suggest this for anyone that already carries a pocket knife. I do not use the included sheath, but I did buy the optional clip and it works perfectly. The clip locks in place, and will only come off if you want it to. I often use the clip to access the inner tools (my fingernails are awful). I carry this everywhere I go, and though it has some weight to it I don’t even realize it’s there anymore, just like my wallet and cell phone. And the black color makes it look cool as well.

Exactly what I was looking for
I have been looking for at least three years for a clothes rod that could be used for a makeshift closet. When I read the reviews for this product I ordered three.

I used two to turn a cubby in my basement into a make shift closet. The rods are holding near maximum weight and they have stayed in place for several weeks now. The two that are in the closet are extended to their longest length. The only complaint is that at this extension the clothes tend to move to the middle of the rod and make it bow a bit.

The third rod I used in my laundry room to hang wet clothes. It’s not extended very far and there is no movement of clothes or bowing at all.

Overall I have been using these for several weeks and they are holding up nicely. None have fallen down. I also used them without the screws so they are not slipping. I will probably order several more. For the price they have exceeded my expectations.

A great device
We live in a small condominium, without adequate space to hang damp clothes. This handy device has been placed in a bath tub stall. It doesn’t depend upon spring tension to hold it in place, but rather a screw extension system. It leaves no marks when removed and easily holds a whole load of damp clothes without slipping or bending.

Doesn’t work at all
I wrestled with this thing for an hour before putting it back in the box and returning it. It doesn’t lock. What a disappointment.

Porter Cable Pad
These replacement pads are a necessity for anyone that does more than occassional sanding. The new ones work just great. It is too bad that they wear out quickly, usually less than a year under weekly use. You can extend the life of the pads by two simple actions. 1) Clean the pad with your shop vacuum each time you change the sandpaper. 2) Don’t press on the sander while sanding. Let the sander do the work!

Renew your sander
A new pad makes the sander hold sanding disks the same way it did when it was new.

Good sander ,Poor pad
this is the third sanding pad I have had to replace.Where the three screws hold this pad, it is so flimsy I think I could just about bite it into. As far as the sander goes it is the best one I have ever had, but I am thinking seriously of looking for another sander, rather than buy a pad every 3 months. They do make a pad {pta39} that seems to be made to last as long as the hook and loops will, but it will not fit the 333 sander. I wonder if we all emailed the manufacturer and let them know how we feel if it would make a difference. I think I will do just that before I go off line
