These leggings are super-comfy and have a relatively low waist (hard to find). They work well as tights, long-johns, workout pants or just on their own with a tunic. I bought them in black, but will probably order more colors. This seller had the best price and lowest shipping cost -- I shopped around. I received them quickly. Smooth transaction.

Pros: Light and comfortable, very good microphone clarity, good earpiece sound.Con: Somewhat difficult to wear; no earpiece volume amplification and microphone mute button.I purchased a Plantronics MX153-M1 (for $22 at an family-run electronics store a few blocks away from J&R Music and Computer World), the version of the MX150 made specifically for Motorola phones - v60, v70, v120, T720 and later phones. The MX153-M1 adds a push-button towards the upper-middle of its cord that enables the headset wearer to dial the last-dialed number, use voice-activated dialing, answer calls, and end calls without touching the phone. The MX153-N1 and MX153-N3 are push-button versions of the MX150 for Nokia phones. The base MX150 itself does not have the push-button and associated functionality.The MX150's earbud is anchored to the wearer's ear by a soft rubber grip that wraps under and essentially clips the earlobe (pinna). It takes several seconds to fit the earbud and pivot the microphone boom to their proper angles; this must be done each time the wearer puts on the headset. The disadvantage of this fitting requirement is that if you are not already wearing the headset when your phone starts ringing, you are better off answering your phone the old-fashion way. Once fitted however, the MX150 is light and comfortable to point of being unnoticeable. The MX150's FlexGrip design (shared by the Plantronics MX100 family) is better than ear-loop designs that can get in the way of eyeglasses and sunglasses; headband designs that can pull on the wearer's hair; and classic earbud designs that can easily fall off. People with earrings may not be comfortable with the MX150 because of its grip on the ear's pinna.In contrast to generic headset microphones that often make the wearer sound distant, the MX150's microphone performance is very good and makes the wearer sound clear and close to the phone. The noice-cancelling microphone does a good job of eliminating ambient noise - even inside a moving New York City subway car. The MX150 family does not have microphone volume control and microphone mute functions.Earpiece performance is good. The MX150 lacks earpiece volume control, relying instead on the phone's volume control functions. As with any headset design lacking self-powered earpiece volume amplification, ambient noise may be an issue in open or noisy environments, e.g. a busy New York City street or subway car. The MX150's price competition is with the Jabra ProBoom. The latter has battery-powered earpiece volume amplification, but consumers should carefully weigh this great advantage against the MX150's fit and weight benefits. The two competitors also differ in push-button support. The MX150 family has push-button models for Motorola and Nokia phones, while the ProBoom family has push-button models for Nokia and Samsung phones.Of the three Plantronics headsets that I have purchased (the other two being the M175 and M100), the MX153-M1 is the best one that I have yet used. Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug

This headset is light and comfortable and works very well with most cell phones. Unfortunately, they always seem to die on me. I've gone through five MX150s in the last eight months. I buy them in pairs now so I always have a backup. I can't find anything I like better, so I keep going down this road, but be prepared for problems if you are a heavy user. Also, do not buy this headset if you are looking to use it with a Uniden TRU8885 Cordless Phone. You will have significant outbound volume problems.

Hey. This is a perfect little headset. I've had it for a year now. People can't tell I'm on a cell phone. Excellent at blocking outside noise, and I can hear everything crystal clear on the receiving end. Great Buy.

I liked this headset so much that I found myself unplugging it and plugging it in again, all the time- as I moved it from cell phone to home phone and back again (in and out of my car!). So now I have two (and despite much abuse, the first one is still working great after two years!) It took me a while to get used to it at first, I hated the over the ear thing when I first tried it (I have small ears) but then I loved it because the sound is just so darn good, as is the noise cancelling. The earbud is a bit too big (as mentioned in other reviews) but I find that to be true now of ALL earbuds- someone told me that the reason you can't find little bitty earbuds that go further in the ear canals like they used to when I was a kid, is because of fear of lawsuits due to hearing loss. In other words, its better for your eardrums to not be able to shove an earbud in so far. Darn! This is a great headset, but may take a little getting used to- then you will be hooked!

I am constantly impressed by how much sound quality I both receive and give to my callers when I use this product. I was skeptical when I saw how cheap it was, but when I started using it I found it to be very clear and comfortable. I have had many late night chats with friends and have never had a problem with it hurting.



My friend has one similar that has a connect/disconnect button on the wire, and the lack of this feature is the main reason I give it 4 stars. Still, if you want something that is cheap, functional, and comfortable.... this is the headset for you.

I've tried a lot of headsets, and what makes this the best I've had yet is (1) the way it mounts to your ear without feeling cumbersome and (2) the sound quality that those I'm talking with comment on. I'm able to take business calls without fear of poor microphone quality. I think noise cancelling makes a difference as well because I talk while driving 70 mph down the freeway without any complaints of road noise

This product is not Plantronics. It is a cheap knock-off. This is evident by the lack of manufacturer markings, the packaging and the cheap sound quality. The headset is not loud enough and people I call tell me they cannot hear me. Since it was inexpensive, I'm throwing it away rather try to get my money back. Don't waste your money. - Cordless Phone Headset - Telephone - Headset - Electronics'

Inkjet Printer Ink - all-in-one, ink cartridge

Visit Store Now !!

I bought a new HP printer to replace one that I had for over 4 years. The quality of the printer is exceptional for the price. I was curious, though, why the ink cartridges for this new printer were about half the cost of the ones for the old model, so it seemed like a really good deal. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that the new ink cartridges for this model last about half as long as the others. I agree with a lot of the recent press about the need for ink manufacturers to label their products with the quantity of ink rather than the number of pages they can print. It is impossible to compare prices and know for sure how much you are getting for your dollar. Nevertheless, I still recommend this printer. HP is a great company. HP 60 Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging, Combo Pack (CD947FN#140)

There is honestly no question that when it does come down to the best in quality printer, HP has really delivered the highest quality in ink cartridges, for their printers. That is proof with the number 60 cartridges. These are actually great and simple to install in my new deskjet printer. They deliver more ink that keeps them going well with each and every time I have to print up a project on paper. Whether it is writing up a resume, or printing coupons you need off the internet for all your shopping needs, they absolutely do the trick well. Anyone who owns a HP Printer knows what they get well in the quality of ink, and that is proof with the #60 cartridges. I absolutely recommend the 2 pack of black and color cartridges as a must have for anyone who has a heavy duty printer.



Price: B+



Convience: B+



Overall: B+

I'd been saving the dual package in my wish list while I was checking around for the best price.

Well today I found it at wal-mart for $30.97 and in the package you get 2 black and 2 tri color packs. Can't beat the deal. Amazon wants that much for just one black and 1 tri color. It pays to research and shop around. So glad I didn't order it here, but I still find great values on other merchandise here. I love the printer, but the ink sure doesn't last very long. Cheap printer that I ordered from amazon (and I like the printer), but expensive when you print as much as I do. Just wanted to pass the info for those that might need the #60 ink.

I was sucked in by a bargain price for an HP printer C4750. While it works very well, it uses ink like water. The cartridges are miniature in black and in color. HP has sucked in their customers and they are motivated by greed. I have spent more on ink than I have paid for the new printer. Buyer beware! I am ready to throw it out.

This product came in retail packaging. I installed in my almost brand new wireless hp printer that these cartriges are compatible with and the display on mt printer comes up saying previously used cartriges and makes me realign before i can print or copy anything. Never had any issues with store purchased retail ink. Never again will i buy ink online!!

Ordered #60 Combo Ink Cartriges......recieved one empty black cartrige in a torn package .....contacted supplier and they were very curtious....said they would correct the problem.......next I recieved a black cartrige only.....contacted them again....they said they did not have any tri-color cartriges and would refund part of my money....they did.......so after all the time I wasted waiting for ink, I still had to go to Best Buy ...I should have went there in the first place....it would have been cheaper. - All In One Printer - All-in-one - Hp Printer Ink - Ink Cartridge'

Visit Store Now !!

I was able to get this model a little early, and was excited to try it out in - what better city to test a camera? - Paris. The last Sony snapshot camera I used was on a trip in 2007, and I was so dissatisfied with that camera that I sold it immediately after returning home. I was eager to see if Sony had improved their entry level cameras, especially the picture quality. I shall post some pictures to offer examples up in the product details, but these will be reduced in size for posting.



Photo quality: My initial day out indicated that they have made dramatic improvements in both quality and speed. Photos in daylight were crisp and clear in just about every shot, and any that weren't were only because I was shooting poorly on purpose to test the photos. I was also quite happy with the quality of shots in low light and indoors, which is where I noticed the most improvement over past Sony low-end offerings. There was some blurring in darker situations, of course, but for the most part the software was able to produce images that are well balanced and low grain. The 14 megapixel feature is great - there are many photos I've been able to crop and retain quality, and photos of, say, a stone sarcophagus can be zoomed in upon when viewing images later to see very good detail.



I must also mention that the camera is very good at balancing photos. It almost always produces a picture with an appropriate contrast, and only in the worst cases did the image wash out in an area. For example, a shot of Joan of Arc (the statue, not the person) in Notre Dame came out very well even with a stained glass window in the background. The stained glass was bright but distinguishable, and the detail of the stone statue was clear and well balanced. Only in extreme cases - such as a shot of a black sculpture in the Louvre with a window behind it with blaring sunlight - did the camera fail to balance the image, but these are the kind of bad photography shots one would never expect a camera to take well.



Types of Photos: Like most all snapshot photos, this camera will perform best shooting still subjects with plenty of light. Moving objects didn't tend to blur, a problem I'd had with other cheap snapshot cameras, but the response time can make getting these shots difficult. Trying to capture a motorcycle passing an old church, my 7-10 attempts were mostly good photos, but getting the moving bike in the exact spot I wanted was nearly impossible.



Features: Overall, this camera lacks in features, although for most uses I found it sufficient, and at the price I didn't expect a lot of extras. The 4x zoom is relatively fast and easy to use, and about right for this type of camera. I was surprised there was no optical zoom given the high megapixels, but I can live with cropping on the computer. The panorama mode is nifty but not that useful - it works quite well in creating a long image, which of course will cause distortion in most cases. To use this feature, you set the mode and clich the shutter. The camera will prompt you to move it from left to right, and then it will generate the image (which is always impossible to see on the display owing to its shape.) Here I would have liked some add'l features - there is just 'one size' for panorama shots - you must sweep all the way across or the image will fail. This creates many shots that will need to be messed with on the computer later, which is okay but annoying. I was also disappointed panorama doesn't work in an up and down orientation - you always have to sweep the camera in the same manner. You can, of course, hold it sideways to create a vertical panorama, but I really wanted some vertical shots tqking advantage of a larger width. Still, panoramas of the Tour Eiffel allowed me to create some fun, unique shots of the full height of the structure. There are not many other features - just some rudimentary quality settings, face detection, etc. Some might want to move up to a camera with more features, but I actually appreciated this in a point and shoot camera.



Battery life: Here the camera could use some help. Perhaps I'm spoiled by my Apple products, but digital cameras have more or less remained stuck in 2002 concerning batteries. It's annoying to have a separate charger, and battery life isn't great. Three hours of shooting...granted, constant shooting...at St Denis drained it. Given how light and small it is, I'd fully support doubling the battery size to get twice the life. I'd also love for camera makers to start to move toward USB charging options.



I'd also love it if cameras would start incorporating some onboard space. It feels like the dark ages to have to buy a card. 2 - 4 gig of onboard memory with a card slot for expansion would be nice.



Overall, a great, small, fun camera that's easy to grab and go. I wish Sony would re-imagine some of the ways digital cameras work, perhaps taking some cues from iPods, especially regarding batteries, but for the price this nifty unit is great.



Pros: Excellent pics for camera in this price range, good color balance, good in darker spaces, a few fun features



Cons: Battery life could be better, charging options, not many features or in-camera editing options Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W530 14.1 MP Digital Still Camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 2.7-inch LCD (Pink)

My family and I were going on a cruise in a limo for my grandparents' 50th anniversery. It was my first time in a limo let alone on a cruise and I was very excited! My sister had a digital camera and of course, I wanted one too. Not only for the vacation, but for other special memories too. So I was looking online and there it was! I knew it was the perfect one for me! It was PINK, it was a high yet affordable price, and it could hold many pictures without having to upload them. I came back and I had so much fun! My camera was loaded with pictures! I am never going to forget that cruise! This camera is very fast and extremely thin. I don't even know if it is in my hand half the time! I would recommend this to not only a friend but every friend and stranger I see. So get this camera and see for yourself how great it really is!'

Fisher Space Pen - compact, fisher

Visit Store Now !!

It is very good pen. Somebody commented before that it's only a pen, whatever. I have a Cross, Waterman and a bunch of random stick pens in between. This is really good, for a "sub-compact" it has really good feel, better than my Cross and the ink flows really well. The only one to compare ink flow and consistency to is the Pilot G2, just as good.



The only problem I had when purchasing was with the descriptions, there was nothing to put it in context. The closed size is maybe an inch longer than Chapstick and half as thick. The opened size is maybe a quarter inch less than the G2 gel pen.



The ink dries really quick and is a really good companion to my Moleskine notebook. The mini G2's were my first choice but the ink took too long to dry and was always smudging. This is a premium compared to the G2 but you won't regret it. Fisher Space Pen, Bullet Space Pen, Matte Black, Gift Boxed (400B)

This is a great pen. It is compact, with the end protected until it is used. It actually will write on a variety of surfaces that normally will irritate people trying to write on with an ordinaly pen. The only problem is the lack of a good clip. The version of the pen with a clip is a failure because the clip keeps falling off until you lose either the clip or the pen.

I am very pleased with this pen's performance. It's perfect for pocket carry because it folds up into a tiny package, and it's practically indestructible, so I never have to worry about leaking ink on my pants. I purchased the black model for myself and the gold model for my dad as a gift. I prefer the look of the black model, but the golden one has ribs along the side that gives you better traction. My only complaint is that on flat surfaces, there's nothing keeping the round pen from rolling around.



Long story short:



Pros:

+ Durable

+ Compact

+ Reliable

+ The ink cartridges write for ages, and have an amazing shelf life



Cons:

- Not great for desktop work, since there's nothing keeping it from rolling away (although you can purchase a slide on pocket clip to solve this problem)

Because of our occupations my wife and I write a lot and in constant need of a great writing tool. At first I was hesitant because I thought the whole space pen thing was just some ploy. But after reading a few reviews and seeing how well made these pens were I was sold. Not to mention they are made in the good 'ol U.S.A. The form factor of the Bullet pen is very small when closed. It measures almost 4 inches like this. But you take the cap off and place it on the end and the pen is suddenly a full size pen measuring 5.5 inches. The powder coating has held up extremely well on this pen. Very nice being as to how much I use this thing! You get a lot of bang for your buck with the cartridges too! I have read that most people get between 6-9 months use out of each one. The writing from this thing is awesome. I cant tell you how smooth a line this thing puts down. Plus, I love how bold the ink is. I am a customer for life. If you are thinking about getting one just get it you will love it!

In the end, the fisher Bullet space pen's pros really outweigh its few cons.



Pros:



The pen writes very well, smooth and precisely. It lets out a fine stream of ink, making it easy to read and keeping it from bleeding through paper. I tested the pen and found that it really does everything it says; in fact, when my friend stated "any pen can write upside-down", I challenged him to continuously write upside-down with his regular pen. After a few seconds, it stopped working. The space pen kept going.



It's other functions work equally as promised; once, a bottle of water spilled and drenched my entire notebook in water. It was a while before I found it. To my dismay, my notes were illegible, EXCEPT for the notes I had written with my space pen, because the ink remained waterproof.



The pen's size makes it extremely easy to carry around, but because the cover fits on to the back of the pen, it is large enough to be very comfortable when writing. I can throw it in my pocket or my bag and know I'm going to have it when I need it. The matte black finish also keeps the pen from being too slippery and falling out of pockets or bags.



The pen's ink reserve lasts MUCH longer than the average pen, believe me, and you don't have to worry about it bleeding on your clothes.



Cons:



Unfortunately, the pen's design does sacrifice SOME comfort. If you write for long periods of time, your hand might start hurting with this pen. It lacks any padding, gripping surfaces, or ergonomic design. Then again, this pen isn't really meant for long periods of writing.



The clip; please, Fisher, FIX the clip. When you first get the pen, DO NOT trust the clip to stay on. It will easily come off, and if you aren't careful, that could mean losing your space pen. I found that I had to push the clip down the pen's body, until it was at an extremely snug position, literally unable to move. Unfortunately, the metal of the clip left two tiny scratches through the finish from my having to push it down, though they are barely noticeable.

NOTE: However, I would absolutely recommend getting the model WITH the clip. It serves different enhancing functions! It stops the pen from rolling away due to it's round shape, it helps keep the pen up in pockets and bags so that you don't have to go digging for it, and it offers a more comfortable grip. Just remember to really push it down, hard, on the pen body!



I definitely recommend this pen to anyone looking for an everyday pen just to carry around, or anyone with a job/hobby that requires a pen that is easy to carry but needs to work in adverse conditions!

I purchased the Fisher Bullet Space Pen for my fiancé as part of a birthday gift along with a 3 pack of moleskine pocket-sized notebooks. He's a programmer, so he often has unexpected meetings to discuss projects and I wanted him to have a reliable black ink pen and notebook set that could easily and comfortably fit in his pocket. After the first day he was raving about it and also tested it under water with success, though I can't think of a scenario other than a rainy day where this would be needed. I've used it myself and it's both smooth in design as well as function. It feels great in the hand and I never had a hiccup with the ink as I've had with most other pens. The cap also fits snug, so there are no worries about it getting ink in your pockets or cases. The only minor downside to this pen, and this depends on how you use it and where you intend to keep it, is that it tends to fall out of your pocket when you sit down from time to time. This can be easily resolved by purchasing the clip attachment, or simply by putting it in a different pocket! Overall a great price for reliability and design. We love it! - Cool Pen - Compact - Fisher - Bullet Pen'

Toshiba - toshiba laptop battery, toshiba

After almost 4 years my original Toshiba battery wouldn't last more than 10 minutes before I would get the low battery warning. The OEM batteries are so expensive I was just going to leave it plugged in. I came across this battery and figured for the price it was worth a shot. A few weeks later now and I am thoroughly satisfied. This battery works as good as, if not better than, the OEM battery did when it was new. Whether it stands the test of time will be another thing, but if it gets me another 1-2 years of decent use out of the laptop before I have to get a new one I can't complain.



Shipping was super fast and pretty well packaged too. NEW Laptop Battery for Toshiba Satellite-S3262-S3291 A105-S4004 A105-S4064 A105-S4094 A105-S4254 A105-S4274-S3041-S322 M115-S3154-S265 a105-s4252

My laptop would shut off the second the power cord came unplugged. I had to restart the computer every time I needed to move the laptop from one location to another. I knew it needed a new battery and was hesitant to pay the price of an original Toshiba battery. It works perfectly. Great price too. I am enjoying the portability of my laptop again at a price that didn't break the bank.

Don't let the price fool you! This battery works! After receiving my laptop (m115-s3154)from a friend, the battery was near worthless. Lasting only 5-10 minutes. This battery fixed that. I've had it for awhile now and it still keeps it's charge. I received it quicker than promised, too! Good price, prompt shipping and good product! Totally satisfied. I would highly recommended this product!



Have real world expectations, people. Before you get to excited, don't think that with this new battery you'll get some crazy 5 hours of battery usage. I get around an 1 1/2-2 hours on my laptop browsing stuff on the net on my and less if you do stuff that requires more resources (Playing video games, videos, being connected to the internet).



Anyway, again, good product and I'm totally happy with my purchase!



PS: I'm using the laptop I purchased the battery for to type this review >:).

This battery is the one I needed for my laptop. The old battery was not keeping the charge at all, it would hold power for 15 or 20 minutes. The new battery is good for at least 2-3 hours, depending on the use. - Toshiba - Laptop Battery - Toshiba Laptop Battery'

Fibromyalgia - salonpas, back pain

Visit Store Now !!

I cannot sing enough praise for Salon Pas..

I will not take any other pain relievers anymore but I do stuff that

regularly causes me pain so I am only too happy to plaster myself all

over with Salon Pas at night and wake up feeling fine.. and for next to no $$.... honestly. don't know where I'd be w/o them.. Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch - 120 Patches

i bought the blue box of salonpas at walgreens for my sprained and strained shoulder. the doctor had my on pain meds but nothing was helping. saw the add on the tv and thought well it cant hurt so i tried them. worked wonders for my shoulder went to a diffrent walgreens to buy some more and got the smaller ones in a green and white box. apparently they are diffrent very diffrent i think ill go back to the blue box this green one made it hurt more. so if you try one and it doesnt work try the other you never know.

When I first bought these, I was disappointed in their size--so tiny compared to other pain-relieving patches I'd been buying for my chronic neck/shoulder muscle spasms.



HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure that for the money, you get tons more actual product--although these patches are quite a bit smaller--only 2.56 X 1.64 inches each, there are way more in a package. So, it's a great value.



Another thing I really like is that unlike large patches, these are pretty easy to apply by yourself without having them get all wadded up/wrinkled or in the wrong spot.



And, you can always slap on more than one to cover however much space you need to cover! (I have three on my neck/shoulders now). They adhere quite strongly, and are like any adhesive applied to the skin--it can smart a bit when you take it off!



The active ingredients in these patches are camphor, menthol and methyl salicylate. If you are allergic to any of these ingredients, or aspirin (salicylate is very similar to aspirin and can cause the same reaction), skip these and try something else--maybe the capsicum products? I have some skin allergies, but am not bothered by these.



One benefit of using patches rather than pain-relieving creams or ointments is that you do not get yucky-smelling product on your hands.



Another is that you can wear these when you have to be around other people and you don't smell like you are slathered in ointments.



Plus, they are quite portable. I have one of the smaller packages in my purse for on-the-go pains. There are six small packages inside the box, each containing 20 patches, so you get 120 of these little patches in the box. Even if you use multiples at a time, they will last quite awhile.



I use these mostly for my neck/shoulder pains, but they also work when I overdo the exercise (or it rains) and my old knee injury acts up. I believe they'd work for almost any spasm, pulled muscle, stiffness or joint problems--anywhere you have pain, but the skin is not broken.



Highly recommended.

It's like Ben-gay on a patch.



I've suffered from chronic severe pain for more than 3 years. My doctors call it idiopathic diabetic neuropathy.



Salonpas works better than Lidoderm(tm) patches and costs a fraction of what Lidoderm does.



The ingredients are GRAS (generally recognized as safe), and aren't nearly as messy as similar OTC treatments like Ben-gay.

I LOVE this stuff! I get neck pain every now & then & while using Biofreeze gel helps, Salonpas does the job WAY better! My only minor gripes are: 1) the patches don't come in skin tone colors (although it is fun telling people I'm using a nicotine patch & not to judge me just for kicks); & 2) the adhesive works so well it removes all of the hair off my neck when time comes to take off the patch. Sometimes it'll even leave a red spot where I removed the patch. BUT that's nothing compared to the wonderful pain-eliminating results I've gotten from using these patches.

About 10 years ago, I was invited to sit in on a focus group that was testing the application of a topical pain reliever. I am very familiar with (and a proponent of) acupuncture as well as attitude (placibo effect) on pain management. This product works faster than asprin! Quite often, I wake up with lower back pain as well as stiffness. Just knowing I have these patches available is a huge help toward the placibo effect (if that is what it is) - but I also really believe that it works like topical asprin - and my pain relief begins almost immediately - I am definitely hooked. There is a more intense Salonpas advertised for arthritus relief - but I do not think I will ever need it, because as soon as I feel a pain (shoulder, lower back, etc) - I reach for this patch and I am fine. Oh - and I started out with the bigger patches, but realized I could cut them in 2, and still get the same effect - it seems to spread across your skin, no matter the size of the patch. - Pain Patch - Back Pain - Arthritis - Salonpas'

Multi-driver - 10-in-1, multi-tool

Visit Store Now !!

This is much better than carrying around 11 tools. Rod is thicker than 10-in-1 driver and both are thicker than a normal driver, so won't work in any small recessed holes. I had a defective one of these where the Phillips head broke on like the second use. There are replacement heads available but I'm sure I can return it or get a replacement from klein at no cost. Cost at home depot was $12 compared to 16 or 17 on amazon. probably paying for the super saver shipping. Klein 32500 11-in-1 Screwdriver/Nut Driver

Works well. The grip is the standard Klein black rubber grip, slightly larger diameter than the number two screwdrivers. When changing the tips I seem to fumble to open the correct size, or the inner tip comes with the outer removable driver. It does how ever save me an enormous amount of time finding the right driver. The smallest Philips driver works on the tiny M-2 screws on laptop CD-ROM drives and hard drives.



@ $12 get one already!



Bill

Replaces half a dozen other screwdrivers with one high quality screwdriver/nut driver. Only drawback is the shaft is fat--so if you need a skinny shaft to reach through a small hole to reach your screw, this probably won't work for you. Otherwise, it's great. I paid `$12-$13 for mine @ HomeDepot.

I do apartment maintanence as well as HVAC. I use this tool everyday. With the combination of tools it can replace it is worth having. And for those that do HVAC work. Klein has made a new 11-in-1 Screwdriver/Nut Driver - Schrader Valve Core Tool.

I bought this item from a local hardware store. I've used the 10-1 before and i loved it. The place you can get to.the amount of posibilities with just one screw driver. I was pleased to get the 11-1 but after a while I was really dissapointed that the bits didnt really stay in really well, they would just fall out. Whats the point of being a 11-1 when the bits dont stay really well in their place. After a month or two of using the two screwdrivers that i bought i was just left with the just nutdriver portion.I was really dissapointed to see a product from klein do that.I am klein fan but this was just a waste of money. I think am going to stick to 10-1 the bits stay in better then 11-1.

"Comfortable rubber handle. Nice quality tool" says my husband. I looked for this praticular screwdriver for my husband as a christmas present after he used a friend's exact one for multi purposes and he mentioned how much he liked it. I didn't want to take the chance on another brand that wouldn't be as well constructed. I am glad I found this praticular one. He seems pretty happy with it!

Do yourself a favor and buy two, once you get used to this awesome tool and you misplace it, you will feel lost. Best all in one, has a good feel, very comfortable and durable. The tips are all the right sizes, and the two socket sizes come in handy often, this is the screwdriver you want in your car, home, garage, tool bag, just buy a bunch, you can't go wrong, it will last your lifetime.

beats carrying various screwdrivers in your pocket. I carry this withme everywhere i go. It's helped me

out in various occassions. I definetly would recommened it. It's sturdy and well built. Handles the job

very well. - Multi-tool - Multi-driver - 10-in-1 - Screwdriver'

I didn't purchase this item from Amazon, I bought it at a local electronics store. I have been looking for something that would allow me to play my vinyl in the house, but allow me to listen while in the pool, or grilling, or just having company over. As I am renting I don't have the ability to run wired speakers, nor do I have any electrical outlets on my patio, so the battery operation was key.

First things first Sound Quality- This speaker is okay, but good enough for outside. The dull highs may also be because of the fact that this uses RF to transmit. If you listen to MP3's through your IPod, or a boom box you probably won't be too disappointed, the highs are lacking, and so it can sound a bit muffled, but the Bass response is surprisingly decent for a speaker in a plastic container, and for a 5W amp, this thing puts out some good volume. in fact I only use it at about half volume even when I am washing my car.

The portability of this unit is key, the planter on top is removable, so if you had it in the garden and wanted to move it to the pool you can just take the planter off the top set it aside, and bring the speaker wherever you want. The reception is EXCELLENT, better than even I expected. My stereo is in the basement, and this thing reaches with crystal clear reception upstairs and to the other side of the property line!

Also, don't worry about watering the plant, there are drain holes under it that channel the water away from the unit.

The 3.5MM plug on the transmitter allows you to plug this unit into anything, the headphone jack of your MP3 player, speaker output of your PC, or the headphone jack of your stereo system. I have a headphone out on my computer speakers, so I hooked it up to there, since I have my turntable, and a CD player, and all my MP3's on my PC so the one output takes care of everything.

I would recommend rechargeable batteries because this thing takes 6 of them, however battery life on an 85 degree day with constant use was impressive. I had 6 half charged batts in there and they lasted about 7 hours, so with a full charge I am sure they would be good for a weekend worth of entertaining. This unit will also run off of AC power with the supplied AC adapter.

This product is not WATERPROOF, just water resistant, so if it's going to rain, or you aren't using it for a while, take the plant off and store the speaker in your garage until the next time.

For the price of other units, this thing is a great buy, of you want better sound, you are looking in the $400 range, and for that money I could buy a lot of new records for my turntable and listen on my Klipsch Towers indoors!

This is a great outdoor product and worth the money. Audiovox Acoustic Research AW828 Rock Pot Outdoor Wireless Speaker with Built-In Planter (TerraCotta Color)

Set up was fairly easy with two types of cables from a radio store. I used a second zone on my reciever so that I could play music outside and watch TV inside. The sound was a little lower than I would have liked for outside. Then it stopped working entirely after a few days and I cannot get it to work again.'

Battery Charger - rechargeable batteries, la crosse

Visit Store Now !!

UPDATE: (03-26-2011) It has been more than 3 years since I wrote this review. This charger is still working great!



I have owned at least 8 chargers in the past, Maha's, Panasonic, etc. It is nice to see that this charger shows you the mAh on the LCD panel as the battery charges up. Most chargers you only see an LED indicator to signal when charging is done.



Compared to the specs of BC-900, the BC700 can only go up to 700mAH (the max) which means it is somewhat slower than the BC900. But the faster the battery charges, the hotter it gets. And one of the worst enemy of rechargeable batteries is heat. Less heat means longer life for the batteries.



Pros:

- 3 adjustable charging speeds

- Will show you the actual capacity in mAh. This is good so you know which battery needs to be refreshed. You always want to use batteries with the same capacities in pair or in a group.

- 4 independent charging stations with individual LED readouts. "AA's" and "AAA's" can be charged in different combinations. Don't you hate those gadgets that only use 3 batteries like portable radios? (walkie-talkies). You end up with 1 un-used battery if you bought a 4-pack. How will you charge it if your charger only charges in pairs?

- Reasonable price for an excellent charger

- Small and light. Better portability

- Multi-volt up to 240v. Very useful if you travel a lot to other countries.



Cons:



Now I have to stop myself doing impulse buying on NiMh's because I enjoy using this charger too much. La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger

Just in case you were looking for the La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger: please be advised that ths is NOT the same charger.



Except for the color, the BC700 looks exactly the same as the better-known BC900. However, it is actually a "handicapped" version of the old charger. Its charging current can only go up to 700mA in three steps (200/500/700). The BC900, on the other hand, can go up to 1000mA for 4 cells, or 1800mA for 2 cells. Also the BC900 package includes eight NiMH rechargeable cells (4 AA and 4 AAA), eight C/D cell adaptors, and a carrying case. The BC700 does not come with any bonus items.



This is not to say that the BC700 is a bad product. Quite the contrary, it is better than any other NiMH AA chargers in the market except for BC900 and Maha MH-C9000. If you can find it at a substantial saving (like maybe 30% off from the price of BC900), it is still a good buy. But as it is right now, I recommend getting its older brother instead.



[update on June 13, 2008]

Recently the price of BC700 has settled to a level much lower than that of BC900 (partially because the price of BC900 has gone up), so it is now an excellent buy - especially if you intend to buy some low-self-discharge NiMH cells separately. In light of this, the criticism in my original review now seems unnecessarily harsh. Too bad I'm not allowed to change the star-rating for this product.



[Update on April 7, 2010]

I hope my overly critical review above did not discourage anyone from buying the BC-700. As of this moment, it is the best value if you are looking for an advanced battery charger/analyzer. This is because:

- The BC-9009 has been recalled recently due to excessive overheating/meltdown incidents.

- The Powerex WizardOne Battery Charger-Analyzer is more powerful, but costs twice as much as the BC-700.

- The newest La Crosse BC500 has severely limited functions compared to the BC-700 (see my review for details), yet it costs more.

This is a great charger and when I bought it it was about $15 less than the BC-900. Now the BC-900 is less than this charger. The difference between this charger and the BC-900 is the lack of the faster charging speeds and the accessories. Definitley buy the BC-900 and the accessory package for less money. It seems they are constantly playing games with the pricing on these two chargers. The BC-700 charger does a great job of reconditioning batteries and the charging speed is usually between 2-3 hours for the different capacity batteries that I have. (1800mh - 2650mh). Time is not an issue for me as I have about 10 sets of AA's and can just keep swapping them out. From what i've read the slower charging speed is better for the life span of your battery any way.

AFTER careful consideration & making additional observations as well as in the interest of presenting a more equitable view of my recent experiences with La Crosse BC-700 AA/AAA battery chargers over the past month, here is my updated review. Much work has been done to be helpful. It is my hope that this examination of mine is supportive to persons considering purchasing this rather versatile charger. If this is too lengthy of a review & you don't have time for it all then please scroll to the Bottom Line at the end, thanks (sometimes we disabled veterans have too much time on our hands).



Initially, after purchasing & receiving 4 of these little chargers, the BC-700 had me nearly mesmerized, being the first reasonably decent "smart" battery chargers we'd ever owned. Once the novelty wore off though & after making many careful observations, a lot of things began to stand out that just didn`t make sense. For most of us, the BC-700 is a big step up from common "dumb" battery chargers we are all familiar with... but there are some limitations with these chargers that had we known about we would have never purchased them in the first place. No doubt these chargers will perform better than any simple AA/AAA battery chargers on the market, giving one far greater control & selection over the charging processes, offering several charging/discharging modes & generally protecting one`s investment in small, rechargeable batteries. Its default programming makes it quite simple as well as safe to use... but there are problems at present: problems with quality control, problems with the charger's operations & very annoying problems with customer service (as has been noted by other reviewers). Am hopeful that La Crosse will soon these address these problems & that this charger will evolve into a better one. First, the problems, then the better stuff...



QUALITY CONTROL:

* 1 of our 4 chargers has its compartment buttons quite uneven in their seating, curving & dipping this way & that, spoiling a nice, high-tech appearing charger.

* 2 of our 4 chargers have a most annoying, distracting piece of dust underneath the view plate right where the readings are taken for one of the compartments.

* 1 of our 4 chargers requires the Current/Display/Mode buttons to be mashed quite hard in order to get them to perform their functions.

* 3 of our 4 chargers are amazingly difficult to insert AA batteries into as well as removing out of the compartments (negative charging tabs are sticking out excessively).



OPERATIONS:

* One compartment will charge batteries a good amount more than the others three for some reason, even while charging evenly-matched, quality batteries that have been top-off charged only 10 days beforehand & then using "Test" mode to determine capacity. This is always compartment #3 or #4 for some reason, over a dozen tests having been performed to back up these observations. No matter the brand, no matter the type of rechargeable cell (5 different brands & types of batteries were tested), this strange phenomenon is observed consistently. In all fairness, this occurs while using the default 200 mA charging, so perhaps this current is not quite enough to trigger the 4th battery to fully charge up to end the charging cycle consistently. Better results are seen when programming the chargers to use 500 mA of current to charge 2000-2500 mAh rated AA batteries instead of the lower default current, as then the negative delta voltage cutoff seems to trigger in a more balanced fashion using higher current. 200 mA charging, though, appears to work just fine for AAA NiMH cells, both with standard cells as well as hybrid.

* Have had our remaining NiCADs (low capacity solar yard light batteries) reach over 1.7 volts & a couple hitting 1.83 volts while charging... on just 200 mA charging current, no less. Rather high for a 1.2 volt rated cell, is it not? This is being measured while charging them at 1/3rd of the cell's rated capacity (0.33C).

* There is a most annoying, consistent anomaly concerning the final trickle charging (the following figures are observed using new, broken-in/cycled, low self-discharging Sanyo eneloop AA & AAA hybrid NiMH batteries). As the first cell reaches "Full" charge it is then trickled between 17-19 mA until the next battery reads "Full". Then the first charged battery at once reads a 12-13 mA trickle charge as the last cell to read "Full" receives the 17-19 mA trickle. Same with the 3rd, same with the 4th, regardless of timing. Even if the trickle charging goes on for days, the first 3 to charge up will continue to show a 12-13 mA trickle charging & the last to charge will still show 17-19 mA! This is rather unusual, though it strikes me as being a bit bad for low self-discharging AAA hybrid cells (such as Sanyo eneloop batteries) to be receiving this slight overcharge over the course of days, as we have to do sometimes when we are away from home. Not a huge problem, granted, just a minor one.

* The AAA cells make a harsh grinding as they are inserted into the compartments due to the grooves in the positive charging tabs. The AA batteries don't do this, just the AAAs. It is a significant scraping. If the AAAs could be placed into the compartments positive side first then this wouldn't occur, though the design of the tabs will not presently permit this.

* When observing the charging current being displayed as the batteries are inserted while others are charging/discharging OR as they finalize their charging OR are removed while others are still charging, there is in all cases a significant "bump" upwards in the charging current for the remaining cells that takes over a minute & a half to settle back down to where they all were before. To me this clearly demonstrates no true independence of charging compartments, as does the final trickle charging anomaly.



CUSTOMER SERVICE:

* "The lack of" would be more appropriate, truly. At least, at present it is. After over 2 weeks of phone calls (just TRY & leave a message on their customer support line & see what happens) as well as numerous emails to La Crosse support, we finally received a phone call from someone (likely a salesman, not a technical person) who didn't know what he was talking about, even arguing with me that the BC-900 is the newer model than the BC-700, which it is not. Additionally, no support email was received back until the morning after my initial BC-700 review was posted late in the evening before. That finally got their attention, it would seem.

* The La Crosse employee who called also said that the trickle charging inconsistency "won't hurt anything". Respectfully, am disagreeing... particularly with the hybrid AAAs over a period of several days. We simply no longer have enough faith to leave the chargers operating while we are gone a day or two & not have a few mildly overcharged AAA batteries waiting for us when we return. You see, we also own a good number of solar AA/AAA battery chargers that split a mere 100 mA charging current 4 ways... 25 mA current charging per cell on a clear day. Our AAA batteries build full charges in them over a period of several days in full Sunshine on just 25 mA current each. While using standard NiMH batteries, which have a fast self-discharging rate, the trickle charging anomaly of the BC-700 is no problem whatsoever so far as can be discerned. However, with the low self-discharging NiMH hybrid cells we are using I beg to differ. We see a difference in what 2 AAA hybrid cells measure already that were left in 2 BC-0700 chargers trickling for days while we were out. There is a small but measured drop in performance of about 3% each for these 2 new AAA eneloop cells that trickled @ 18 mA for 2 extra days. The other 6 AAA batteries, 3 in each charger, actually gained capacity (trickling @ 12 mA), but the 2 at 18 mA each lost 3% capacity according to earlier logged values. A 10-12 mA trickle current for each AAA hybrid battery is just fine, though 18-19 mA over a period of days is too much in these types of cells in my opinion.

* Though the BC-900 has been out for quite a while now & the BC-700 for a fair amount of time, there is not so much as one item that is presently listed in their FAQ for either model charger as of the writing of this review. Now, that is simply difficult for me to understand (La Crosse product models of many various types & functions are individually selected once one is into their website's FAQ section). Am hopeful that this, too, will be remedied soon.



Am rating this charger 4 stars because it apparently DOES perform okay except for the aberrations & limitations noted. One star off for quality control, total charger operations & for lackluster customer support. 3.5 stars would be given if it were possible, but 3 stars as in my initial review now seems a bit too harsh. Sadly, we simply did not have in these chargers what we needed for the large investment we've made in over 5 dozen top-shelf Sanyo eneloop AA & AAA hybrid batteries. We regularly use them all too, so our chargers pretty much run 24/7/365. As we need more precision for our particular applications & goals, we have returned 3 of the 4 BC-700 chargers for the problems listed here in this review. We are keeping 1 of them & continue to put it through its paces with our standard NiMH batteries. Any relevant info we gain as a result will be passed on with an editing of this review. We have since purchased 2 Maha Powerex MH-C9000 chargers (because of our need for truly independent charging compartments as well as more precise options) & they are both performing splendidly thus far.



BOTTOM LINE: The various charging modes of the BC-700 chargers are a real plus, they look great overall, are apparently sturdy enough & will likely perform well for years to come. 500 mA of charging current seems to charge AA 2000-2500 mAh rated rechargeable cells in a much more balanced way than the default programming of 200 mA of current, so one would do well to consider using it for this application. As La Crosse never states that their charger's compartments are fully independent from each other, we do not have a complaint coming in this. If you require the utmost control over your AA/AAA battery charging process, have more options & precision as well as have the extra bucks to spend then consider getting the Maha Powerex MH-C9000 charger-analyzer. For most everyone's improved AA/AAA battery charging needs, the La Crosse BC-700 is a handy, versatile, compact & affordable battery charger that will likely serve you well.

I ordered these so that I could make badges for my 45th senior class reunion.

I received them much sooner then I anticipated, 1 day.

The quality is very good. I would definitely order from this company again.



Rick Advantus 75456 Clear Vinyl ID Badge Holder, Punched, 3 x4, Horizontal w/Clip, 50/box

I purchased more than 200 badge-holders. We use them to hold the name tags of our church congregants so they go on & come off every week. A small number of the clips were defective to begin with but none have broken with use. (If the user insists on turning the clip repeatedly, it will soon come free from the plastic.) All things considered the badge-holders work fine, the plastic is of satisfactory quality, easy to fill, they're holding up quite well - we've used some longer than others. Now, if they would only find their own way back into the collection box, I'd be all set! These are a good value - I would recommend them.'

Nice pair of clipons, great when you need something to flip on and off (for example, doing yard/garage work). Gets the job done, although not exactly fashionable if you're after that sort of thing.



Tiny bit flimsy, but I knew what it was like since I've had this model before. Don't expect to put books on it without some bending.



As an extra note, it's slightly big, even for my large frame, so might need some trimming at an opticians if you wear your glasses low and don't want your nose tickled here and there.



Also comes with a nice sturdy plastic case, with a platform to hold it in place. Always useful. Polarized Clip on Flip up Plastic Sunglasses, Large Tru Rectangle, 60mm or 2-23/64" Wide X 38mm or 1.50" High (128mm or 5" Wide), Polarized Grey Lenses

These are a terrific product - especially considering the very fair price! These clipped to my framless lenses perfectly. I like this large rectangular shape. I carefully measured my prescription glasses and these polarized clip-ons cover them perfectly. I also love how they can be flipped up just part way, or completely vertical (or anything between). EXCELLENT PRODUCT!

I suggest you measure carefully before buying a pair of these clip-on sunglasses. My glasses are bifocals and a bit on the wide side, and I almost ordered the wrong design. These overlap my lenses only slightly, something not at all noticeable to others. On the other hand, if they were too short it would be readily apparent and they would look a little goofy.



They do a great job of providing shade...the fact that they are polarized makes a big difference. My son pointed this out to me as we were riding in the car one sunny day. For example, with polarized lenses, the reflections on the windshield of items on the dashboard disappear. I did a direct comparison with a pair of non-polarized sunglasses and the difference was significant.



They are thick, well made, high quality, and attach easily. Their being thick, however, brings me to their main drawback...they are a bit on the heavy side and this can make them somewhat uncomfortable to wear after an extended period of time.



The only other negative is that when you flip them up, they really don't flip up far enough. I found myself having to tilt my head quite a bit to look at grocery store items when I walked out of the sun and into Winn Dixie.



So, minus one star for the weight and the flip factor.



Overall, though, I highly recommend them...I would buy them again without hesitation.

I ordered this because my Transitions glasses never quite got dark enough for me and I miss wearing polarized sunglasses.



These clip on easily and securely even with my prescription. I'm not keen on the flip up feature or the giant clip in the center of my face, but it is highly functional.



I have ordered an extra pair just in case. - Hp - Tablets - Tablet - Palm'

I guess its a good deal since it is so inexpensive. But the cover does not look like what the picture looks like. It just covers the edges not about the buttons. The material is a lint magnet and it is very uncomfotable. I ended up taking it off and now i am looking for a new cover. Black Silicone Gel Skin Case Cover for LG CU920 VU CU915

Well, I was pleased with the fast shipping and surprised when it came so early, but the product was NOT as pictured. I wanted the skin that when around the buttons and ear piece so my phone could be completely protected. Instead I got a skin that went around the edges of the phone. The seller didn't change the picture or let anyone know in the description that the pictured item was out of stock.

So far keeping the phone protected, it keeps it from slipping off car dash exct. Small rip started by the power port and screen opening big minus = no cut out for camera and scroll keys, so you have to find them by touch.

This soft rubber case cover for my LG Vu phone is perfect! Fits like a glove easy to put on and take off. Easy to access all the buttons, feels great in my hand, and now I have more confidence it won't break if I happen to drop my phone. Beats the hard shells hands down.

I was very excited to recieve my cover in the mail but once I opened the package the rubber cover smelled like Kerosene. The smell was so bad that I actually had to throw out the cover. Just holding the phone made my hands smell.

I like the rubber case cover for my new Vu. I did not want to disfigure my phone, also it is so slick that I have almost dropped it several times. So I purchase the cover and solved the problems. The case makes it a little more difficult to reach the screen on/off button on the side, but that is not a big deal. The camera, charge port and all buttons are totally accessable through slots in the material. Price of the product is very reasonable, shipping and handling are always a sticking point with me. Sometimes the shipping cost is more than the item itself. I wish a screen protector (which I bought separately) was included.

Being so cheap, you have to take my comments with a grain of salt. But here are the bad things.

Cons

#1 really hard to feel for you to feel the volume button... I have to look at it almost everytime i go to change it.

#2 Material is pretty cheap, and seems loose, to the point where it comes off fairly easily.

#3 The power Jack is a lil' hard to swing out of the way... one of these days i'm going to break the cover of it, because i have to bend it over the cover.

#1 does the job of keeping it from getting scratched
