Fasteners - fasteners


After having used both Bostitch and Hitachi cap staplers I can say without a doubt that the Bostitch caps are the best. They work in Bostitch cap staplers without a problem, are easy to load, and are inexpensive. Not only do the Hitachi caps occasionally tear through, sometimes they do not release from the roll easily. The Bostitch caps never tear through and are individually stacked on the stick.



The biggest advantage I have found however, is that you can drop a stick in your nail pouch and pinch off individual caps to use with a standard staple gun. Many times you will find that your cap stapler will not fit where you want to place a staple, but a smaller staple gun will. This is especially handy when hanging insulation in tight spaces. By holding a cap in place when you staple, you can prevent the staple from tearing through the backing on the insulation. (Of course once the nose of the staple gun is on the cap, you want to move your finger before pulling the trigger.) The Bostitch caps will also work with brads. They are just made of tougher plastic than roll caps.



So the Bostitch caps are not only more versatile, but you will never have a staple tear through. While they are a little more expensive than roll caps, they are a better value overall. Especially if you need the retention of a staple cap when using a standard staple or brad gun.



If you own a Bostitch cap stapler then these caps are your only choice. If you don't own a cap stapler then you can use these caps individually with any staple gun. In any case they are the best staple caps you can buy. Bostitch SBCAPS 1000 Caps for Cap Stapler and Nailer

We were so excited to find these caps. We have a small family owned construction business and are always looking for these exact caps. The stores around here sell the cap nailers, but not the caps for them. We have to special order them with twice the price and a six week wait. Amazon beats their price even if you pay shipping for nextday service. We will definately be ordering all of caps through Amazon from now on!

Unbeatable deal from Amazon!

If you are a "do-it-yourselfer" either by choice or because you are "on your own on this project", this is a great item to use along with the Bostitch cap stapler to apply roofing felt, or house wrap. My home was destroyed during the flooding here in Central Texas during the months of March through June, and this item has been a huge help to apply the house wrap and roofing felt. No more using one hand to hold the nail and cap, and the other hand to use the hammer. Simply follow the instructions on loading the caps into the cap stapler, and use the capler stapler as directed.

Action Adventure Movies - angelina jolie, action adventure movies


Why is it, that we want more from a movie than is on offer? Come on chaps, "Lara Croft - Tomb Raider" isn't a film of any intellectual merit, it is merely an exciting adventure movie with a whole host of good special effects and lots of quality funny moments. I for one really enjoyed this film, I expected nothing from it other than a series of explosions and gun battles and that is what I got and I loved every single minute of it. The plot wasn't too complicated, with Lara piecing together a mystery about an ancient clock and two pieces of a mystical triangle that has the ability to fragment time and space and of course there are the obligatory bad guys trying to get their hands on it. There was a fine cast of characters from Iain Glenn playing the evil Mr. Powell (the main bad guy) to Chris Barrie of Red Dwarf fame coming across with great aplomb as the overtly English Butler Hillary who tries and fails to make his young employer into a regal young lady instead of a gun-toting maniac. One of my favorite moments is when Hillary realizes that the security in the Croft Mansion has been breeched and there is a battle going on downstairs. He calmly gets out of bed, dons a bullet proof vest taken from his wardrobe, locks and loads a massive double barreled shot gun without blinking an eye then carefully steps into his leather slippers before stepping out to join the melee. I cracked up laughing, it was SO funny! Angelina Jolie is well cast as Lara Croft, and she manages a pretty good English accent too as well as doing ALL her own stunts which impressed me big time. The special effects were superb, watch out for when a husky-dog jumps through a break in the fabric of time, it's awesome. All in all this is fun, fun film and that is the way it should be treated. The DVD is worth every cent and is stuffed full of extras that just add to the enjoyment of the film. So come on chaps, give it a chance, you never know, you just might enjoy yourselves! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider [HD DVD]

I give the movie 5 stars as an exciting imaginitive adventure movie.

But there are issues with the Blu-ray version - which are:

The movie was not photographically focused with HD video in mind. Sometimes the details are clearly in focus, sometimes the details are only DVD clear. This is better than an ordinary DVD "upconverted" but is not consistently what I would expect from a true Blu-ray quality movie. If you already own the DVD it may not be worth upgrading - but if you don't I think it is worth it for adventure movie fans.



This is based on the original Blu-ray disk release.

I've been loading up on big, dumb action movies on blu-ray, so when I saw this on sale for $10.99, I said why not... I popped the disc in, and was horrified at the picture quality- it looks like an upconverted dvd. If you have this on dvd already, then don't waste your money.

This has got to be the best attempt at a good game-based movie that I've seen. There were a few minor plot discrepancies that didn't quite follow the storyline of the game, but they could be ignored-I actually didn't notice them myself until my avid Tomb Raider-playing pal pointed them out. I loved the action sequences-the "ceiling ballet" being my favorite, and I think that Angelina Jolie did a suberb job portraying our feisty heroine. The music was probably the best part of the movie, though. The fast-paced techno stuck with me more than the actual story did, and I bought the soundtrack almost immediately afterward. What I didn't like was that the storyline of the movie wasn't that well developed. The charcters were typical, the events were ordinary, and the plot was so predictable that I found myself speaking the dialogue before the characters did! The story wasn't that detailed or involved. A third-grader could have followed it without trouble. I had been hoping for a more provoking, mature movie. Overall, it was...okay. Maybe the next ones will be better...that is, if they don't follow the rule of sequels...

I read so many bad reviews about this product, I was almost positive I would hate it. Then I came across the review Roger Ebert gave it for the Chicago Tribune. HE gave it 4 and half stars out of five. That peaked my interest. I found it at my Wal-Mart for $4. Figuring I could spare four bucks, I bought it, and watched it two days later. By far one of the best movies I've seen a LOOOONG time. Very intriguing plot, great acting, plus it's just plain fun. Combine Indiana Jones with Mission Impossible 2, and you have an idea what this is like. Plenty of special features to keep die-hard movie buffs happy. Plus it's got Angelina Jolie. Need I say more?

Yes, many people are bashing this movie but I think they are all wrong. That is why there is a sequel since it was a good flick, right?



This movie is a very good adaptation from a game, since I also love the games. Angelina was a good Lara Croft not just in the physical aspect but also in the attitude. She is as confident as the one in the games.



The movie also circles in a great plot line. The plot is very well served and not draggy, unlike other movies. It doesn't aim to much to inform people a lot about the Illuminati but supplies what the viewers need, not over or under that. The whole plot makes sense in a not so draggy way.



The adventure aspect is also well done. The exotic locations were mesmerizing as well as the action sequences. The stunts were very realistic, unlike the ones in movies like Charlie's Angels were people leap like animals. Here, Lara is very human but athletic, doing stunts that are actually possible to do and done very nice cinematically.



The movie overall is very enjoyable. its a fun action flick. It may lack depth or may fail to satisfy one but its an action flick. Let go and enjoy. - Action - Defectivebydesi - Action Adventure Movies - Angelina Jolie'

Glow Bracelets


Very quick shipping and delivery... the best price I could find online... and they glowed (for the most part).



I will note that some of the colors were very dull and not as bright as expected. Also, there were definitely some duds in the batch that didn't light up at all. Overlooking those things, the biggest drawback is that the connectors did not come attached to the glowsticks like some competing brands do.



Overall, there were some drawbacks that were a small disappoint, but these are still worth the price! 200 8" Premium Glow Stick Bracelets (Bi-Colored, Mixed Colors)

What you are looking for its just what you get, pretty good glowsticks, they last pretty well.. you could use them for a whole night i belive. Kids and grownups wear them and have fun with them, makes your party or event more exciting.

This product came before the shipping date was stated, and the bands were in great shape. All the kids loved them, especially because they were two different colors. Definitely purchase! They were cheap in cost but not in wear! Loved!

We ordered these for a huge luau at work for about 300 people. The bracelets are great, but about 1/3 of them didn't work. The kids (and adults) still had fun with them anyway. If you order these be sure to order twice as many as you need. They're so cheap it won't matter.

I bought these for my girlfriends daughter. She loves them. I thought 200 was a lot but they end up going very quickly. They are like glowing legos or connex(sp?). You can still play with them after the lights go out. She does. I ordered with expedited shipping and received it in two days.'

Motorcycle Battery Charger - car battery charger, motorcycle


Every time I want to fire up my old 71 Datsun (that's Nissan for those of you younger than 30) 240 Z there's a good chance that the battery has drained down and that I can't start it! Looking around at car forums I read about this nifty little gadget....It's like a battery trickle charger....sort of. Whereas it's not recommended to keep a trickle charger hooked up all the time, this one has circuitry to limit the current and sense when the battery needs charging. It only charges at 1.25 amps which is easier on the battery.



I've had it on for a month now and it's great. The first couple of days, the red light was on indicating charging. Since then it's been on green and the car starts right up. I live in Houston where the heat and humidity can be just as brutal on batteries as the cold.



I highly recommend this "tender" for those that have cars that stay unused for long periods.



As other reviews have mentioned it comes with a set of adapters that allow you to permanently attach pigtails to the battery posts and then you can quickly connect the tender without having to use the alligator clips (also included).



For the price and free shipping you can't go wrong!



UPDATE after two years of use.

I can now reconfirm that these battery tenders work great - I've had them hooked up continuously on two cars that stay in the garage a lot and I've NEVER had them not start right up. A quick glance at the LED display lets me know that the batteries are either charging or fully charged. It's a real pleasure to be able to go right up and enjoy your wheels without having to worry about whether the battery is dead. I can't say for sure, but I suspect that it lengthens the life of the battery as well. Battery Tender 021-0128 Battery Tender Plus 12V Battery Charger

This little gizmo is dynamite.



I have a 4 year old Accord that, due to circumstance, only has about 4400 miles. Rarely driven...and what driving is done is mostly at night.



Sat for a week once in very cold weather...dead battery.



Ordered this. Hooked it up. 100% charge and the battery is very powerful once again.( had thought I would probably need a new one).



It's very small size makes it extremely easy to use and store. And it will not overcharge, so you do not have to babysit the process.



It's LEDs glow red when charging. Green and red blink once 80% has been achieved. Solid green at 100%.



It did, in very cold weather, take a long time to establish a full charge on my almost completely discharged battery. The battery would have been usable in a few hours, but 100% took close to 18.



Highly recommended.

I have an older version of this charger that I bought in the mid 90's. I used it to maintain my garaged Mustang's battery over the winter months for many years. I made a cigarette lighter adapter so all I needed to do was to plug it in instead of using the alligator clips. I have to say this thing is dead reliable! It always kept my battery in prime condition. I love it and recommend it highly.

I use this to maintain a strong battery charge on a vehicle that rarely gets driven over the winter. I opted to use the quick connector leads so I didn't have to worry about propping the hood up to clear the red and black clamps on the battery terminals.

This unit is a workhorse for the money. I use it on my Corvette in the winter and in the summer I have my snowblower attached to the battery tender. This product is compact in size and simple to use. It came with different adapters that enabled use with different battery charging requirements.



I recently gifted a unit to my father in-law who leaves 2 cars in Florida year round.



A must have for anyone who has a vechicle or seasonal piece of equipment.

For ease of use, The Deltran Battery Tender is an excellent way to charge and maintain the battery on your motorcycle, snowmobile, or even a heavy- duty vibrator, not that I would know anything about that! The kit includes a BMW type plug for machines so equipped, and an SAE adaptor with alligator clips. You can also wire the SAE adaptor right to your bike's battery and have easy access to the plug- in. The battery is maintained in a peak state of charge, with no worries of over charging. - Battery Charger - Car Battery Charger - Motorcycle - Batterytender Charger Battery'

Expandable Waist - flat front, pants


These are great pants that give a little extra room around the waist when needed.

I bought 3 pair in Navy, Khaki and Stone. They fit me well and look good all the time.

Try a pair and see what you think. Haggar Men's Mynx Gabardine Hidden Expandable Waist Pleated Dress Pant,Black,40x30

Very nice pants, very comfortable. Up to Haggar's usual standards. I like the expandable waist, gives me room to grow or shrink (hah), but I also don't have to worry about trying them on before I buy.



Due to packaging there's a horizontal crease halfway down each leg (pretty much unavoidable unless they're shipped rolled up in a cylinder -- hah hah). A warm iron took them right out.



I like these. I'll be buying more as budget permits.

These look GREAT! They fit comfortably and are light as well as durable so you dont get overheated. The lightweight feel lets the pants keep their pleated look. I recommend buying a few pair of these if you need some GREAT dress pants!

When I opened the package there was a fishy chemical smell coming from the pants. I washed them to try and get the smell out but not only did it not get better it passed the smell on to a couple of socks and a towel I had in the washer.



Not sure if this was a one time thing but sure was strange. - Expandable Waist - Flat Front - Pants - Pleated'

Lead Pencils - smelly markers, mr sketch


Corporate trainers and teachers have been noticing for two years that the quality of Mr.Sketch markers has dropped significantly. The tips do not write well and they are not "juicy" enough, so letters on a flip chart can no longer be seen at a distance. Calling the company (contact information below) just confirms that they know they have a problem and are "working on it" but there is no solution yet. Very disappointing for us very loyal customers who have insisted on what were the best writing, non-toxic, brilliant colored markers out there at a reasonable price.

Watches


I have many Swiss Watches and wanted an understated but elegant watch. This is very accurate for a automatic watch. Some watches have movements that are unseen, some with movements that are seen on the back of the watch only and some are seen on the front of the watch which are very busy and cover the complete front. This watch has a movement that is seen but does not overwhelm the front of the watch. A great everyday watch and dress watch.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm - alarm, carbon monoxide alarm


We tested it on the truck's exhaust and it went off at about 60 ppm according to our digital CO Meter.

Which proves it works to Govenment Standards. This model does what it is supposed to do, the more expensive models just have more features that you probably will not notice on an everyday basis anyway.



This is the least expensive model we have seen that functions, so we hope at this price everyone should have one in their home and garage.



Please replace batteries regularly...... First Alert CO400 Battery Powered Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Bought this in November. Put it up and within days it's "chirping" 3 times per minute which means (according to the device) that it is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Amazon was awesome and sent out another one right away. Same exact problem. I'll be returning the second one and choosing another alarm.

We purchased 5 of these; one for each bedroom, the family room, and an elderly neighbor's bedroom. Install was painless. It does, however, need to be mounted on a wall, not a ceiling, so we chose a spot over each bedroom door.



Carbon Monoxide MIXES with the air. It does not stay low or high. You can't see it or smell it. That's why it's so deadly.



The piece of mind of having these installed is enormous. More people die of CO poisoning than from fire. If you don't have a CO detector, get one, two, etc. The price is right.

The detector worked well. It arrived quickly and was exactly as advertised.

When testing the product after installation, I would advise a person to put earplugs into their ear canals. The tone is very loud, which is good. However, for testing purposes, please protect delicate hearing.

When it has came down to protection in our homes, aside froom burglary protection, we definitely need a carbon monoxide alarm in our homes. It has became a must have for security and prevention from damages. First Alert does know how to make good ones, and their CO400 carbon monoxide alarm is definitely a great buy. It is simple to install, and convient to place on the wall. All it takes is a few AA batteries to install, and works nicely for anywhere in the home. There are very few alarms that are worth their effort, and First Alert knows how to make some good ones. I absolutely recommend this for your home is you are looking for a replacement Carbon Monoxide alarm for your home, and for the security for all your needs.



Price: B



Convience: B



Setup: B 1/2-



Overall: B

These seem like nice detectors. I put one on each level for added protection. There are some limitations on placement such as further than 5' from any cooking appliance, 20' from any gas burning appliance, etc. But, after figuring that out, mounting them was easy.

I got one of these for my mom's house. We've had it for 6 years now and only replaced the battery once. We test it usually every few months, and unplug the battery during the non-heating months. We placed it next to a register/vent downstairs. Great price, these things can be very expensive.

I just received this monoxide alarm today and it was easy to setup, mount and use. Easily screws into the wall. Every home should have one! It is recommended to have one on each floor of your home, but definitely near sleeping quarters. I have been meaning to buy one for the longest and the price was right on this one. What else can I say, it gets the job done. I sleep more peacefully knowing that my home is carbon monoxide free.

Recently purchased a new furnace. The gas company, furnace sales reps. and the furnace installers all told us carbon monoxide detectors should be located near the furnace and above the vents in bedrooms. Was surprised to read the company insert in this product to say the exact opposite. So surprised: I called them. There are reasons not to locate these where we were told.

Black And Decker Coffeemaker - coffee pot, programmable


I picked out this coffee maker because of a reasonable price and was a recommended best buy in Consumers Report magazine. I have only had a week or so and can't address long term reliability. What it does do is NOT DRIP! It does not drip when pouring from the glass pot to the water reservoir or when pouring coffee into a cup. I do NOT have to be extra careful when pouring. It also stops the coffee flow from the filter as soon as I pull the pot out and does NOT drip on the warmer. Again, do NOT have to be extra careful here. It also does NOT leak condensation out of the water reservoir top when lifting the lid. The condensation on the reservoir lid drips back into the reservoir when the lid is lifted. The time and delay brew functions ARE easy to set and work fine. The coffee brewed fairly quickly and did not overflow the filter to allow grounds into the pot. So far, I am very happy with a product that someone spent some time making user friendly and practical. This is a well engineered inexpensive product. Black & Decker DLX1050B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Black

I purchased this model over 10 years ago. It looks a lot like the new one except they have updated the lines. I just purchased the new model because after 10 years the hot pad only keeps the coffee warm and not hot but the first cup is always hot. Every feature still works on this machine except for the stop brew, to pour when brewing. That is because we removed it since we have broke several carafes over the years. I considered purchasing a fancier machine but figured why mess with a good thing. We have never had any problems. We love the timer and the coffee has always been great. I love coffee and feel like our Black & Decker has served us well and I will be sad to through it away. I know the new one will serve us equally well.

We have had one of these coffee makers for several months. It makes great coffee and is highly rated by Consumer Reports. The only disadvantages are that it is quite noisy while brewing and the window in the water tank is almost impossible to see through. We have to measure the water in the carafe to fill the tank. Coffee makers only seem to last a couple years these days, no matter what you pay for them, so why buy and expensive one when this one makes just as good coffee?

I bought this coffee pot at Walmart for under $18 seven months ago. Not bad for the price, sleek design, nice carafe. I found it easy to program as well. My only problem is that I like HOT coffee. This makes coffee lukewarm, not hot enough to where you can take a few sips and come back to it. This coffee comes out to where you can drink it down in one gulp all at once. I have to nuke it in the microwave for 37 seconds to get it just right. I'm a little tired at having to do this so I'm presently shopping around for another one that makes it at the right temperature!

I'd purchased a similar Black & Decker coffee maker for another office in which I'd worked and experienced good success with it. Generally, B&D's coffeemakers are no-frills, simple to use and can take a beating, particularly in an office environment. Also, Consumer Reports rated this model as a good value. If you're looking for a basic cup of hot coffee, brewed in reasonable time by a low-maintenance coffee maker, this machine warrants a look.

Only bought this model a couple of weeks ago, too early for a final judgement, but so far so good. Works fine, but the main reason for my writing: absolutely no problem with pouring the coffee as some people earlier remarked. Those remarks made me hesitant for a moment, because we used to have a carafe from a different maker with that issue and it was annoying. But again, not the case with this one! Hope this helps someone else wondering about the contradicting information in these reviews.

I bought this about a week ago and so far so good. We had a much more expensive Cuisinart that had lots of features, but it drove me crazy because it leaked so much. I'm not talking about the leaking when you don't get the carafe on the burner correctly and it doesn't hit the sensor, but actual leaking from the bottom of the maker - and it was only about 18 months old. So we decided to go with an inexpensive model for now until we determine what we really want. This one works very well, especially for $20. The clock/timer is fine, it doesn't leak and it has the brew pause feature if you want a cup before it finishes brewing. The only negative I can see (and it really isn't a negative) is that it doesn't notify you when the pot has finished brewing. All in all, an excellent purchase.

I had to get a coffee maker in a hurry and Walmart was closes. So I purchased it there Amazon's price is much better, but I couldn't wait for it to be delivered.

I could not be happier with it, it is quick and has a few features I have never had on a coffee pot. A water filter which is really great as my water is very hard, do not know yet what new filters cost, it came with three. The button for doing 1-4 cups intrigued me, I could not imagine it making a difference, but since I make 4 cups for me before I make my husbands 6 cups i thought it was worth a try. It is amazing without changing coffee it made the coffee taste much better.Very impressive.

On a lighter side, I got a kick out of this. The lid to put the water in is not just over the water reservoir it is over the basket also. This creates quite an interesting shape. I told my husband when it was opened it was intimidating. the next day I realized why, it looks like Darth Vader's head gear!

I would recommend this to a friend!

I cannot pour a cup of coffee without it dripping on the counter - ever!



You must clean the counter with every single cup. Does not matter if it's almost full or almost empty. Spills every time.



UPDATE MAY 2011:

I contacted B&D Support. They sent me a new carafe. It appears identical to the first one --- but this one does not leak. Success.

I'm changing my rating from one to four stars. - Black And Decker Coffeemaker - Coffeemaker - Coffee Pot - Programmable'

My mother is very hard to shop for on Christmas and birthdays, so I bought this for my 5 yr old to make for Grandma for her upcomimg birthday. My mother has a collection of wind chimes on her back porch, and my daughter has always loved looking and listening to them. My daughter loved the idea of a wind chime SHE made hanging with the rest. She had a great time painting the chimes. I will have to assemble them for her, but, as the package says they are made for children 8 and over. Overall, we were very happy with this purchase. The only draw back is that the chimes are smaller than i thought they would be, each pot only about 3 - 3 1/2 in diameter. However, for a 5 yr old, they were the perfect size. Make Your Own Windchime Toysmith Paint Kids

I bought this for my granddaughters and they really enjoyed making it (with my help... they are 4 and 3). It's a good craft project for a rainy day... but don't drop it and don't expect the young kids to be able to assemble it on their own.

I love windchimes and so does my daughters. My oldest one wanted to make one. Sure I could have gotten a coke bottle and poked holes and tied some strings and found some round metal bars that were small and light, but that would have been ugly. She wanted to make a "pretty" windchime. I found this. She was able to paint it with nice pretty bright colors. I did find that it was a bit hard to do all the string and the windchime does not really make much noise. But she had fun making it and it is very pretty on my back porch. I hope to find more like this but make a bit larger.

Bought this for my 4 yr old daughter to give as a Mother's Day gift to her grandmother. It was easy for her to paint, but hard for me to put together. Just takes patience. Her grandmother really liked it! - Jewelry Box - Girls - Kids Crafts - Craft Kits'

Make Up Remover No Oily Recsidue - 5 stars, makeup remover


I've been using this eye makeup remover for over five years, and have never had a problem with it. It works great, and doesn't irritate my eyes. I have even used it while I have my contact lenses in, and it doesn't leave a film or any other irritants.



It removes my eye makeup very well. I use Bobbi Brown cosmetics, and this remover takes off all of it quickly and easily.



However, it will NOT remove waterproof mascara- check out L'Oreal's waterproof eye makeup remover for that kind of product. L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise Refreshing Eye Makeup Remover, Oil-Free - 4 fl oz - Mary Kay - Eyes - 5 Stars - Makeup Remover'

Casual Watch - classic, casual watch


I simply wanted a watch with large enough numerals to allow me to see the time easily. With this purchase, I certainly got that, and in a very attractive and comfortable timekeeper.



It has beautiful finer finishing metllic touches, a nicely crafted strap, and, for me, a wonderful proportion that avoids being oversized and clunky. AK Anne Klein Women's 108687SVBK Easy to Read Silver-Tone Casual Watch with a Black Leather Strap

I bought this watch because the one that I originally want it was sold out. But I have to say that its prettier than the one i was going to buy. (thank God that it sold out).



It has everything I want in a watch: big readable numbers, black color, no bling!, and leather straps. A really great watch for the office, fashionista and frugal woman that needs a watch that looks expensive w/o really being it.

I love the look of this watch. I used to have another Anne Klein watch, and I wore it for years and never tired of it. This one has a nice large (but not oversized) dial, black hands and numbers that make it easy to read, and a mother of pearl dial that provides just enough reflection that you can still read the watch easily in low light. It is easy to set, too, because the stem is large, so even women with long nails can do it. I love the classic styling of the watch; it's sort of art deco combined with turn-of-the-century nostalgia. The only thing I don't like about it is that while it is very comfortable most of the time, if I have to rest my wrists on a hard surface for very long (like when typing on this laptop), it is uncomfortable because of the curved finding that you buckle the watch strap into. Not sure why they curved that; it should be either flat or just barely curved, to fit the curvature of the wrist. For that reason I would probably not buy it again, because I spend a lot of time on my laptop. For non-laptoppers, though, the watch is exquisite for the price. The band is rather thin, which makes it look and feel good on, but I would urge caution so that it doesn't break.

It deserves no stars!



Because I love the face design of the watch, I own two of this kind of watches (one in black strap and other in red strap).



What a great disappointment! The red strapped one is about three hours off the correct time. The black strapped one is off about ten minutes every two days.



You will find out the fatal flaws in these watches if you pay close attention to them.



I own another Anne Klien women's watch with a metal strap, Guess what? That looks beautiful too, but it is also off by hours. These watches have new batteries in them!



I will Never buy her watches again. I am stuck with these useless watches because the return period has just expired.



Why are you in business to fool people instead of producing some honest reliable products?

I first ordered this watch for my sister, who had been robbed and needed new one. When I saw it on her, I got one for myself! It has a great large, very readable dial, with large numbers. Makes it easy to check the time QUICKLY!

This is an attractive watch. I love its easy-to-read dial. It's straightforward and classic. The only complaint I have is that it's larger than I expected. I should have read the description more closely.

I purchased this watch in September 2010 and the battery died this week - it didn't last very long. I managed to replace the battery but I can't put the back on. So while I really liked the watch, I'm not sure I would purchase another Anne Klein watch. - Classic - Ak - Casual Watch - Klein'

Gold Toe Dress Socks - socks, crew sock


These are nicely made socks. They're attractive & thin - just slightly thicker than some of the dressy pant socks I've purchased.



As the name implies, they've got gold thread reinforcing the toe area. It's really brightly colored thread which shows up dramatically on the darker colored socks. I think it's ugly. But, of course, no one sees it if you keep your shoes on. Gold Toe Women's 6 Pack Ribbed Crew,White,9-11

If I could have seen the socks in person, I probably wouldn't have bought them. Very thin. I guess it's fine for the summer but I usually like my socks with a bit of a cushion. These don't have any at all. It also doesn't stay up when I wear them. Socks keep sliding down to my ankles. I've bought gold toe socks in the past and have liked them a lot. The quality for this one isn't good at all.

I'm really "hard" on socks, and so far these are good quality for the price. You get 6 colors: light beige, light tan, light and medium brown (which are "tweedy" or "oatmeal-y") dark brown and black. The beige and tan look good with most tan or khaki colored pants, and the light & medium browns work well with olive and taupe colored pants. They are on the thin side (thinner than crew socks but thicker than "dress socks (which are more like really heavy stockings) but that's just the weight I was looking for.

I am very pleased with these socks. I ordered the white and black combo pack. I wear the white pairs with tennis shoes and the black pairs with dress shoes. They feel great and seem to be really good quality! - Amazon Prime - Socks - Women - Crew Sock'
