23 Gauge - senco, pinners


I am an experienced finish carpenter & am VERY disappointed with this gun. Don't even think of using this gun to shoot 2" pins in any wood (not even pine). It will leave the nail sticking out every time. The only way it sets the nail is if you push hard while nailing which then leaves a dent in the material and renders the use of a 23ga nail pointless. They had the same problem with their 1" pinners & solved the it with a replacement driver that did fix the problem. I've spoken to other people who also have this gun & they have the same problem from day 1. The Grex is $100 more but well worth it. It effortlessly sinks the nails in! Senco FinishPro 11 23-Gauge Micro Pinner

I have used pinners before that only shoot up too 1 inch pins and loved them for small jobs. Since i bought this pinner i hardly use my brad nailer. The small pins will hold till the glue sets. I have allways had the pins set good, even with the 2 inch pins in hardwood. It is sold to only shoot 1"-2" but i have success with everything down too 3/8".

I do a lot of expensive natural moldings where the heads of fasteners are something needed but not to be seen. This pinner does a great job of securing the pieces during the glue / adhesive set times. The gun has plenty of power to shoot through just about every kind of wood, but as with all pinners, you need to be careful with the longer pins and hardwoods.



I did have a difficult time finding different sized pins when I first purchased it, but since then I've found a few good suppliers out there who stock just about every length.

im a professional carpenter and millwork installer. a 2" pin nailer is essential for an install that needs to be done fast with limited touchups to finish. i've used this senco gun everyday now for about 6 months and have been very happy with results. as stated above, it will occasionally leave head proud durring my compressors cycle but for the most part my customers cant even see where i nailed. this is good. i would have given it 5 stars but as of yesterday, durring a high pressure install, this gun decided to eject the base for the clip and all of the springs that push the brads into place for firing. this gun was far to new that BS.

This makes my fourth Senco nail gun. Took it out of the box and put some nails into wood. Performed flawlessly. I used nails as short as 5/8" even though it claims 1" is the shortest. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a 23 ga micropinner. My other guns are 18 ga brad, 15 ga finish and full round head framing. I am a hobbyist and don't use my nailers for production purposes, however I have never had one jam. - Pinners - Senco - Micro Pinner'

Rosin Bag - towel, yoga towel


I do have every single product that Aurorae offers.

Like then 110%, will buy the block as soon it becomes available.

Like the towel it is nice, well finished, beautiful logo.

My sister received one as a gift from me.

My yoga teacher asked me to buy one for her also.

The rosin bag is great specially for people who live and do yoga in hot weather.

I may buy other to keep an spare ready.

Aurorae management give customer attention that exceeds expectatives Aurorae Yoga Slip Free Value Package (Yoga Slip Free Rosin Bag with Sport Sweat Towel) Stop Slipping on your Yoga Mat.

A sport towel and rosin bag all for $12.50...what a deal!!. I already purchased these products but I couldn't pass up this deal for an extra set. No more slipping on my yoga mat. Aurorae you guys are the best!!

I purchased this kit instead of the rosin bag only: Aurorae Yoga Slip Free Rosin Bag. Stop Slipping on your Yoga Mat, Odor Free and Non Sticky. Made in USA



I guess I didn't really get the fact that this is just a regular towel. I was under the impression that it had a non-slip surface and would sit on top of my yoga mat to help prevent slipping. Since rosin bag is half the price, unless you want to pay twice as much to get a logo towel in addition, then just buy the rosin bag. I'm still going to keep the purchase, but wanted to at least inform the rest of the buyers out there.

I am so grateful for the products that i have ordered so far from this company. My northern lights yoga mat is beautiful and comfortable. I also got the resin bag which gives me super security while in difficult poses! It has definitely taken my practice to a whole new level-when you feel secure you can totally focus on you!

Proof that good things come in small packages. I read some reviews where people thought they were getting a big towel (but really, we all know what yoga towels go for, so the price should have clued them in from the start.) and were disappointed. Yes, the towel is small, but it's perfect for your hands and face during a hot yoga class. Before class starts, I apply the rosin to the top and bottom of my mat (where your hands an feet would be in Downward Facing Dog). Think of the rosin bag as a powder puff. Then apply it to your feet and hands as well for extra slip protection. The rosin is orderless, and is not messy to use. Keep the little plastic bag it comes in, or put it in a ziplock baggie to keep it from getting on your belonging in your bag, or getting it wet. Make sure you don't use any lotion or oils on your hands and feet before class!

This is a great package, and I recommend it to anyone who is wanting to stay put on their mat!

This slip free package keeps me dry and stops me from slipping when doing hot yoga. i use the Towel to wipe away my perspiration as well as roll it behind my neck as a support while doing floor stretches as well as savasana.

The Rosin Bag is miraculous as I put some on my mat before I start my practice then apply to my hands and feet as needed. NO MORE SLIPPING. Unbelievable and so simple and inexpensive. No smell and not sticky just as they say.

I haven't had a chance to try the rosin yet but look forward to it. I expect it will work.

However, be aware that the bag is REALLY TEENY. I was surprised. I think it's smaller than a credit card. And the towel is really just a plain old yellowish hand towel with their logo on it. I feel like I wasted my money getting the package (rosin plus "sport sweat towel"). - Towel - Yoga Towel - Yoga Mats - Rosin Bag'

Scented


These markers work good for drawing but they don't have much scent. I paid $1.99 for them and got free shipping. Now the price has gone up a little. The RoseArt scented markers are the best if you want a good strong scent. Even the paper smells good for quite a while after you use them. Mr Sketch are good too, but they are more expensive.

Accountants Calculator - accountants calculator, printing calculator


I also have this calculator at work and I really like it. It is considerably quieter than the larger one that I had and is very useful for the types of tasks that I perform. At home, I will be using it to keep my check book in order. The tapes that are used can be found in many stores and it is a nice size for either home or office. Canon P23-DH V 2 color mini-Desktop Printing Calculator

I purchased this calculator to replace my regular sized ten-key when traveling. It is much lighter to carry and fits in my bag very well. I think it works great, however it doesn't print lines as fast as I am used to but I am still very happy with this product. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a smaller sized printing calculator.

This is my second Cannon of this type,my old one finally died after years of service. I thought (mistakenly) that I would buy another brand and type ,all that did was make me have to return it ..

When you find something that works all the time, every time ,and doesn't cause you to have to second guess , well, you should just stick with what is the best . This calculator is the right size , the right price and they even threw in the adapter ! Cannon knew what they were doing and it shows . Buy this calculator for your desk! I really like mine...

Oh and delivery will be at your door before you have to balance your check book...

I was disappointed when I opened this item that there was not a roll of paper included. The photo shows a roll of paper and I didn't notice anywhere on the listing that paper wasn't included. I ordered this machine because I needed an adding machine with a tape for my office. Now I have to go out and buy a roll of paper. Very inconvenient.

This calculator came as promised. It is a simple, no-nonsense calculator that does not take up a lot of desk space. I did have a larger calculator before, so I am getting use to a smaller feel key pad and the sound of the printing mechanism. - Accountants Calculator - Printing Calculator'

Palm Pixi


The pixi case is great. It snapped on easily, fits snugly and securely. It protects my phone quite well and has a sleek feel unlike some of the rubbery/sticky type of "skin" covers. Great product and I would definitely order from this seller again. New Black Rubberized Phone Cover for Sprint Palm Pixi Protector Case

This case looks good on the phone and is cheap too, fits perfectly. I had this case for 6 weeks. I just recently dropped my phone for the first time and the LCD screen cracked. My phone is touch operated and I could not use it. ended up buying a new phone. This product is not shock absorbing and if you want to get a decent case I would just pay the extra cash to get one!!!!

The Palm Pixi case fit perfectly on the phone without any work or modification and fits snugly to the phone. Only down side is that as the plastic wear the white of the plastic under the black coating is revealed, but its nothing a black sharpie cannot fix.

Works great! Only issue is that it covers up the button in the upper left hand part of the phone but thats no big deal because you can still press it through the rubber case.



Was priced right, and shipped fast, i couldn't be happier by saving so much $$$ compared to buying this in a sprint store!

I was blown away when I saw the price for this case! this is the cheapest case ive ever encountered with because I usually end up buying $10 to $30 cases (for the iphone 4). luckily, my dad has the palm pixi so i bought it for him. Its very cheap but the case itself is very nice and pretty durable. The inside,though, doesnt look very appealing because it seems like when they made this case, paint got in it. Its not really a big deal because its a snap on cover and it hides whatever "dirt" is inside. Over all, great product.

Even though I mostly paid for shipping on this item, it's not worth it. The coating on the plastic is already wearing off--and I am not rough on my phones. Makes my new phone look years old! Am looking for a new cover now.'

Motorola Cell Phone Battery - cell phone battery, br50


After three years of use, my BR50 battery was lasting less than half of what it did when I first got my Motorola phone. So I decided to "upgrade" to a new BR56. Mistake! I did all the correct things. Put it on charge right away and let it charge overnight, etc. No matter what I do, this battery won't last any time at all.



I don't know if I just got a lemon or if Amazon's stock of these batteries have been on the shelf WAY too long! I suspect the batteries have just gone bad between the time they were manufactured and the time they were sold. Unused batteries don't last forever and it's important to get a fresh one. In any case, my brand new BR56 would barely even last a whole day of standby use. And heaven forbid I should try to make a phone call! Thankfully, I never threw away my three-year-old BR50, so I put it back in the phone. Although it doesn't last nearly as long as it did new, it still beats this battery by a long shot!



I am returning this battery to Amazon for a refund. Yes, it's an inexpensive item and hardly worth the time to package it up and return it. But it's the principle of the thing. This thing is garbage and they need to be made aware of it. Motorola Li-Ion Battery for Motorola V3, PEBL U6, RAZR V3e, RAZR V3i, RAZR V3m (Black)

Very short battery life. Last maybe only 30 minute telephone conversation. Compared to the new OEM battery that originally came with the phone,it is much shorter life. Have to wonder if this is a Motorola battery.

The product should have a big red tag on the page stating that it does not work! If you purchase a battery is because you have one that doesn't work! Not to get one that is going to last you for 20 minutes of the day.

I bought the BR56 (780mAh)for my v3i and would rate <half a star. After a full charge, it worked for three days. Now it needs to be charged every day with only one use of the phone. My original battery (710mAh)is two years old and holds the charge better. When using the new battery the phone acts strangely as if something is wrong with it. Bottom line, I still need a new battery but WILL not be tempted by the free shipping offered by this vendor.

Seems more like I paid the vendor to dispose of ....................

I watched the bad reviews, but was hopeful because of some of the positive ones. I have an ancient RAZR that drives me crazy because it's always out of juice. Well, this was a complete waste because even with this new battery -- charge lasts less than 24 hours. ugh.

save yourself the time and money. buy locally and return the battery if it doesn't work....like this one.

Got this for my motorola V3M. Great idea except, it doesn't charge well or if at all. I have changed the charger, removed the battery and reinstall, everything i could imagine, but to no avail. I guess I received a lemon coz some people seemed to have gotten good luck with this product. - Cell Phone Battery - V3 Razr Battery - Motorola Cell Phone Battery - Br50'

Socks


These socks are a bit tight for a size 13 feet, but they get stretched with 1-2 uses. I bought them because there are 10 pairs of socks for $10.00 delivered with Amazon Prime. No stores in NYC sell 10 pairs for $10.00, other than the cheap Chinese stalls with poor quality socks. Hanes Men's 10-Pack Classics Cushion Ankle Socks,White,Shoe Size 6-12

These are the smalls socks I have ever had in my life. I wear a size 11 shoe. These are supposed to fit size 6-12. I have to stretch these like crazy to get them to fit on my feet. After you wash them once, forget about it. They shrink so much I can't even wear then as gloves. Horrible socks. Worst purchase I have ever made on Amazon.

I was a bit skeptical of these socks after reading about others' complaints regarding the sizing being toward the large end of the stated range, but after receiving them and trying on a pair they fit my size 9 feet just fine.



They seem of reasonable quality for a bargain bin sock, and as long as they hold up okay I would be happy to replace them with more of the same when they wear out.

I doubt if these socks would fit a men's size 12. I wear a size 8 work boot that is only 6 inches high, and these socks do not even reach to the top of the boot. I initially thought that I had received the wrong sized sock, but after reading a few of the reviews for this item, I can see that this is a recurring complaint. The sock only covers about 1.5 inches above my ankle.

These are great socks. I love them. They're comfortable and soft. I only wish they made them in black. The only downside is that the ankle part is a little longer than I would like, but it's exactly as depicted in the images, so I got what I paid for.'

I ordered the nails three months before I finally received them. During the wait for shipping I purchased the nails elswhere so I could complete my woodworking project. I attempted to cancel the order three times without sucess; could not get any response. The nails where shipped anyway.



I did request a refund from the company and they quickly refunded my money. Just wish the shipping and communication would have been better would have saved a lot of trouble.

I purchased these for my sons and they did not turn out. I followed directions exactly and even tried several alternative methods the box suggested and they curled up and the edges stuck together.. I even tried one at a time and they would not work. I was very disappointed but luckily my son wasn't upset.



UPDATE: I contacted company and to make a long story short, they determined my shrinky dinks didn't work because I did not pre-heat the pan in the oven. I checked my packaging and it did not specify to do so. I was very happy with the companies response and I would recommend you preheat the pan in the oven even if the package does not inlude that step in the directions. Alex Toys Shrinky Dink Kits, On The Move

Got this for my almost 4 year old son...he liked it but my adult sister and I (both way over 25) enjoyed doing these just like when we were kids. probably better for 8 year old. loved it and worked just the same

I bought these for my niece (age 5) and nephew (age 3) for Christmas. They really loved watching them shrink in the oven! (it was their favourite part). I enjoyed myself as well as it reminded me of the Shrinky Dinks I had when I was a child.

I bought this Shrinky Dinks set for my 6 year old nephew's birthday. It was definitely a good choice. I got to spend the afternoon coloring with him. I'd completely forgotten about playing with these as a kid until my sister suggested them as a gift idea. Well worth the price.

We purchased this set of Shrinky Dinks for our four year old sons (twins) for Christmas. There was a nice variety of vehicles in the pack, as well as a selection of colored pencils to spark their creativity. I used this product as a child, and what I forgot was to poke a small hole in the product before baking, so that they can be used on a keychain or even as an ornament. We will purchase this product again in the future.

These are very similar to the Shrinky Dinks I remember as a child. This box is perfect size. Kids started to get bored on the last couple. It was fun while it lasted and worth the couple bucks it cost.

This was way to much fun.. I bought this for a 3 year old and he loved it so much his mom had to go to the store the next day and buy more.. It is perfect for a toddler.. He loved watching it shrink in the oven.. He called it blowing up.. "Look auntie it is blowing up.. Is it ready yet?" It was great.. - Crafts - Art - Shrinky Dink'
