Ankle Socks - hanes, ankle socks

Title says it all. They rolled down within 10 minutes of normal walking wearing saucony classics shoes. Sigh...I've gone through so many pairs of ankle socks that roll down, it's ridiculous. You'd think non-rolling down sock technology (like non-inverting umbrella technology) would be a solved problem by now, but I guess not. It seems quality elastic threading is something most companies either cheap out on or don't know how to get right.

I've only had success with 2 companies' ankle socks not rolling down: Nike and Brooks Brothers; but that was years ago, so who knows what it's like now.

I gave these 2 stars because they are soft and they fit pretty well. Hanes Classics Men's 6-pack Cushion Extra Low-Cut Socks, White, 6-12

I am a size 9-10 in Men's and these socks fit great. I especially like the all black color. However, I went to both Target and Walmart and noticed that the socks were much cheaper there so I would recommend going to the store first to compare prices. Otherwise, I like the color and the fit is good.

These are so comfy that I put them on and never have to ever pull them up or anything. Even despite the fact that I be moving around and kinda fast for many hours a day. Good socks, cheap price, no shipping or tax. AWESOME.

I have size 11 feet and they feel a little small for me. In retrospect I would by the size above. but maybe after wearing they will stretch out more and then I'll be glad I bought the size i did? otherwise comfy and very cushy/thick feeling even after 2 washes.

I'm not sure how much there is to say about socks, but these are comfy and thin enough so they fit perfectly with my running shoes. They are a bit big in the back so they aren't as "low cut" as I would have hoped, but I think that's because there is such a large gap of shoe sizes covered. No real complaints though.

I love them, they're like, super-padded, and they don't fall off at all. Don't listen to any of the jokers who say that they do. Get the right size for your feet and it'll be fine. Peace and love,

SockMan

These are just adequate socks. They stretched out fine to fit my very large feet. They don't slip down in back like cheap low cuts. However, I would never use the word "cushion" to describe these: they're actually very sheer for athletic socks, offering zero padding for your skin against leather or durable materials in your shoes. I expect that they'll suffer from holes and thread baring after just a few wears. Compared to Adidas' middle of the road low cuts (available at Amazon in 3 pk), these things feel paper thin while the Adidas feel quite substantial. For a couple of bucks more (or for the same $ at Costco for 6 pk!), the Adidas offer better protection and wearability. - Comfort - Hanes - Ankle Socks - Comfy'

Impact Driver Accessories

Visit Store Now !!

This is an incredibly handy set that I am SO glad I purchased.

As I'm sure most people do, I think I have about 10 different accessory sets in my toolbox at this point and most of them are more of the same - a bunch of #2 phillips bits, a bit holder and some assorted other driver bits. This kit has a few things that really make it stand out. #1, it includes 3 different socket sizes in it as well as an adaptor that allows you to attach any standard 1/4" drive socket to your driver. It also includes some very high quality drill bits in commonly used sizes, but the star of the show for me is the "flip bit." This is an incredibly cool little invention. On one end you have a #8 countersink bit and on the other you have a #2 phillips bit and with the included sleeve adaptor, you can switch between them within seconds which comes in EXTREMELY handy when doing finish carpentry.

I own a number of makita tools (including their outstanding LXT impact driver) and like all of those, this is top quality and I would recommend it to anyone who has an impact driver and needs a starter kit. Makita T-00153 17-Piece Impact Driver Drill Accessory Set

I bought the Makita 3 piece drill set with lithium ion battery's which is a great drill set. So I figured the bit set would be great to. I used ONE bit for about 15 seconds on some cheap screws to hang some blinds and the bit was completely ruined. They obviously use the lowest quality soft metal to make these. I'm in construction and I have never seen a bit go to waste so fast. DON'T BUY. GET A DeWalt set instead.

Shame on you Makita! The 1/8 drill bit broke on it's first use. The adapter that holds the drill bit- philips head wont lock down on the insert. I'm building a deck. I used the philips head and the deck screw broke the bit. Check your quality control...please! I love my 10.8 ion lithium impact and drill set. They're powerful...too powerful for your cheap bits. I waited too long to get a refund. Don't make the same mistake. Buy 'em, use 'em, break 'em (they self destruct) and send them back within 60 days. If enough of us to this maybe Makita will get the message and build powerful bits to match their machines.

This is a great drill and driver set for an impact driver. The bits that you use the most right at your fingertips. The #8 countersink is great quality and very sharp. The hex tool at the base is a great idea.

This is a must have for anyone's screw gun kit if only for the quick change counter sink bit. The quick change bit does stick a little when swapping the drill over the driver after prolong use, but if your a professional carpenter, you can expect something like this over time.

Do I use this a lot?: yes.

Would I recommend this to a co-worker or friend?: I don't have to, most of my co-workers ask me if them can borrow my kit.

I've been using the kit for a week for multiple jobs with a Makita Impact driver and a drill machine.

The drills are good, no wobbling.

The driver bits have worn out way too quickly for my liking. I think it's better to just get a set of low-medium quality driver bits with impact drivers.

My real gripe is the flip bit, the drill on it wobbles too much to make a quality drill. I could really see it being very useful, but because it failed so hard I had to use both a drill machine and my impact driver for my simple job.

The reciever broke after about 10 uses. Also the allen wrench needed to change out the driver tip and pilot hole drill is not included. They need to make it an eighteen piece kit ------- add the allen wrench.'

Face Cleanser

Visit Store Now !!

I bought this product about six months ago and was extremely delighted. In the evening before I go to bed I wash my face with this amazing cleanser. It is the most velvety, creamy sensation for your face.

I immediately bought one for my friend and after she tried it she said "when I applied it on my face I felt I should light candles, turn on music and shut off the lights.

Dreamy and cleany and sensational.

M. A. Rourke L'Oreal Paris RevitaLift Radiant Smoothing Cream Cleanser, 5-Fluid Ounce

I was using clean & clear, which I love, but it seemed like it just quit working for me. I used this & it cleared my face right up. I don't have bad skin to begin with, but this cleared up the small bumps I did have. Also, u don't need a lot- just a dime size or maybe even smaller, will wash ur entire face. You don't have to waste it so it lasts longer.

So far, so good! I'm 25 with oily, acne-prone skin and usually stay away from cream cleansers because I feel like they'll leave a residue or clog my pores and break me out. However, this is different from other creamy cleansers because it lathers up a lot and it's non-comedogenic (I double checked the ingredients to make sure nothing would break me out.) My skin's been weird lately since I moved to a drier climate and, even though it's still oily, it also seems to need a gentler cleanser instead of my usual harsh scrubs and acne face washes. My acne medications dry my skin out sometimes so I feel like my cleanser needs to be less drying but still clean my skin well. This does just that! I'm getting older too and starting to see nasolabial folds and I'm trying to "pamper" my skin more instead of trying to beat it into submission. This cleanser definitely pampers my skin. You only need a tiny bit because it foams up a lot (you lather it in your hand first and then apply to your face.) It cleanses well but doesn't strip my skin of moisture or leave a residue. My skin looked great after cleansing with this- healthy complexion and diminished pores. I still use my Neutrogena makeup remover wipes at night before using this because I don't think it would clean all of my makeup off on it's own. Overall this is a good buy and it will last me forever because a little goes a long way. I bought this on a whim at the supermarket without reading the MUA reviews (which usually ends up with me regretting not checking them first). It cost me $16, which is double the amount that it costs at Amazon (sigh, that's what I get for buying skincare at the supermarket!)

I ran out of the usual cream cleanser I use and took a chance on ordering a skin product I had never tried. I LOVE this cleanser! It is creamy, smells good and my skin feels and looks clean. It lathers up in to a nice, rich, thick lather and feels so good on my face. Great product.'

The tape works OK.

The only thing I would note is that this tape feels a little stiff and you need to make sure to press it firmly against boxes or whatever you're sealing. By that, I mean that the tape feels like it's not very sticky. I've used other tape guns with different tape that is more sticky and flexible, but I don't remember the brand... I might post it if I remember.

Anyway, this tape works just fine. I might be splitting hairs by saying other tape is more sticky, because I've sent several packages using this tape and never had a problem.

I would probably buy it again, but if you will need a lot of tape, you might want to test a roll to see how you like it before buying dozens of rolls that you don't like. Scotch Packaging Tape with Dispenser, 2 Inches x 1000 Inches, Clear (142L)

I bought this tape because it looked handy with the dispenser. It does stick and had no problem with the packages but I regret buying it because it makes lots and lots of noise. I quit using it and looking for less noisy ones, if anybody knows a brand that makes less noise please let me know, I will appreciate it. - Packaging - Packaging Tape - Packing Tape'

Healthy Living - yoga bag, healthy living

This yoga mat bag works well and it does hold the Yoga Mat by Aurorae, Ultra Thick, Extra Long with Focal Point Icon and Illuminating colors that define your Inner Self, although it's a bit of a tight squeeze getting the rolled-up mat into the bag. I like the bag's netted mesh panels that help to ventilate the bag interior, and the strap allows me to sling the bag comfortably over my shoulder for carrying. YogaAccessories (TM) Large Nylon Zippered Yoga Mat Bag - Purple

This bag is described as large. IT IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY LARGE. It's not WIDE enough for my wife's Yoga mat (Manduka brand. Because the bag opens via a zipper that runs the length of the bag, and because the strap is attached at either end of said zipper, the opening is several inches narrower than the length of the bag (which is just BARELY as long as the width of the mat). Thus, you can't get the rolled mat into the bag.

I finally got the mat into the bag, but I had to fold the rolled mat in the the center to get each end to fit into the bag opening. For those not familiar with the procedure, folding a rolled Yoga mat in half is similar to ripping a phone book in half. My wife is not interested in ripping a phone book in half after each of her Yoga classes.

If the zipper were around the circumference (so the end came off like a flip top), or if the zipper was the full length of the bag (not several inches short), this wouldn't be as much of an issue.

The price is the only good thing about the bag, but that also means it's not worth the cost of shipping it back, so we're out the purchase price of this item.

The product description should AT LEAST state the product's dimensions, especially if a product called "LARGE" is in fact... NOT LARGE.

This is a good purchase. Its a bit of a snug fit for my 1/4 inch thick mat, but it works if the mat is rolled properly. I like the fact that it has a small pocket which can be used for items such as keys. I just wanted a no frills bag and this works really well.

This bag goes well with my YogaAccessories 1/4'' Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat. They are of the same color and the size fits well. The only problem is it's not so easy to put my mat into the bag. Not good design.

For the potential buyers, this bag is quite small. So be very careful about the size.

This bag works great for my 1/4" yoga mat. I purchased the purple bag. Nothing fancy just a standard bag that holds my yoga mat. I am happy with it, the zipper and the straps work. That's what I paid for and that's what I received.

I ordered this bag in black expecting to receive a black yoga mat bag. What I received is a mesh bag that has a HUGE logo on it. That's definitely not in the description. Aside from the bag being hideous, it smelled when I took it out of the plastic.

I'll keep it just because it's easier than returning and buying a new one, but I'm not satisfied with what I received.

the bag itseslf is nice, it's the right size and all, but it has a bold logo in the front that says "HOT YOGA Aerial Fitness & natural wellness center, HOT PILATES" with a picture that looks like a woman dancing on a stripper pole. (sure if you look at it closely it's like, a pilates move or something..but it looks like a stripper)

Not exactly what i want people to think i'm doing. the logo's a deal buster.

I really like this bag! I use it for my YogaAccessories 1/4'' Extra Thick High Density Yoga Mat, and it fits absolutely perfectly, including some wiggle room. I thought it would be difficult to get it in and out but it's not at all. I have only used this once so far so I can't speak about its durability over time, but it's very cute and does the job! I also like the little pocket inside, the only thing that would make it better would be a small strap or something for a water bottle, but now I'm just getting picky :)

I'd call the pink more of a dirty rose pink (if that makes sense) vs a bright bubble gum pink like it looks in the picture.

Either way, it does the job, and the price isn't too expensive compared to what I've seen in retail stores! - Healthy Living - Yoga Mats - Yoga Bag - Yoga Mat'

Maybe the old saying you get what you pay for would apply here to a certain point. This battery tester was only a few dollars and is simple plastic, but it does do the job even though the battery being tested has to be aligned just right or you will get a false reading. The tester has it's share of pros and cons, but the bottom line is that it does work and that outweighs the cons. 4 stars is what I would give to this product.

Battlefield - vietnam, shooter

Visit Store Now !!

I have Bad Company 2 on Steam. When I purchased the Vietnam expansion on Amazon, I simply entered the code in the Bad Company 2 main menu and Vietnam was activated without any problems. All of the content for Vietnam was apparently in the last huge patch for Bad Company 2. Vietnam is multiplayer only so those looking for a single player game have been warned. Overall, Vietnam has a different feel from BC2. The maps are huge and open, each of them are unique. There are five multiplayer maps total and all of them take place outdoors. The jungle experience and scenery is captured perfectly in this expansion. I found myself getting shot by Vietcong in rice paddies and facing intense close combat fights on jungle paths. The downside to the openness of the maps is that you will have to deal with a lot of snipers, more so than in BC2.

There are about four unique weapons for each class and the perks attained in BC2 (magnum ammo, extended mags, vehicle upgrades) are available to use. Shooting and aiming with the weapons is more difficult with just iron sights as scopes have been removed (except for sniper rifles) as well as UAVs and other high-tech equipment. It seems like the weapons do more damage also. Its pretty intense when you are facing RPK machine guns and "thumper" grenade launchers in the jungle with a beat-up M-16. This game just feels gritty and realistic.

I'm enjoying this expansion, its much more challenging and realistic than BC2 and requires a fair amount of skill and teamwork. I definitely recommend it if you liked Bad Company 2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam - Expansion [Online Game Code]

I actually like this expansion pack better than the original game and find it difficult to go back to the regular BC2 game any more. Why? Because the weapon hit detection is much better in the expansion, much more like BF2 or 2142, plus different weapons that are fun to play with. More than anything though, with the maps, the hit detection being correct, and the additional weapons, it's just more fun to play than regular BC2. Oh, and no annoying Gustov spamming. There are RPGs, but they're so slow and have so little splash damage they're hardly ever used on infantry which is a welcome change from Gustov and noob tube spamming. Lastly, the Huey's fly well, not at all like the ones in regular BC2 that handle like boats...and did I mention flame throwers? :)

Unlike some other reviewers I like the original maps in BFBC2 better. In most of the Vietnam maps sniping seems like much more of a problem than in the original maps, even though the weapon gadgets, like scopes, were apparently cut back to try to reduce it. It may also be that the hacks are all on the new maps with their aimbots. So be prepared to die a lot, even if you're no longer a noob on the original maps.

It's worth it, but not unless you like playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 to begin with.

Just buy it on here and check your order status, the code will appear.

Open BC2 and click Vietnam, enter the code you printed out from your order confirmation.

Play the BF2: Vietnam soundtrack on your ipod and rock on.

Cheers

well sadley i ordered this from gamestop.com which they charged me a ridiculos 4$ "download Insurance" as they called it. But for anyone whos a fan of the battlefield series an has been playing bad company 2 for a while, the expansion definitly adds some fresh air. no single player but battlefield is all about the multiplayer anyways. great dlc. all good maps except for one. all in all if you have bfbc2 buy this expansion.

Side note: I still perfer the original bfbc2 multiplayer but i tend to enjoy urban more so thats jus me.

I like this pack because the russians were the one enemy in a lot of popular shooter games, now i can be a vietcong soldier, is funny listen to them talking; but seriously the helicopter gameplay was modified and is so much better, you can do so many movements to avoid tank's shots, i love also the boat, the maps are bigs and you can cover with a rock or a tree, you can burn down all enemy soldiers with a new flame like the one of cod waw. I only dislike two things of this pack and is the easily way to kill, you die with few shots and the second one is the limited number of primary weapons, only 3 for each kit and 3 for all kits.

I bought BC2 and I loved it. After leveling to rank 10, I tried out Vietnam expansion and boy it's fun!

The thing I hated about BC2 is that there are way too many vehicles around. Most of Vietnam maps concentrate on infantry fights, which I love. The theme is also great, I really like the sound and atmosphere. If you have Bad Company 2, get this now!

It's also very easy to apply. You get the code here on Amazon. Launch Bad Company 2, and redeem your code on the main menu. That's it!

Highly recommended.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam - Expansion

This is by far one of the funnest expansions that I have bought on a game. Dice has done a great job with the originality of this Vietnam expansion pack for BC2. I highly recommend this to any avid gamer, PC or console.

This will continue to be enjoyable even a year from now!

I have owned this several months now. It is a very solid game as far as graphics and sound. Some of the best you can get right now. The gameplay is a little difficult to get used to as it is very different from Battlefield 2. Character movement and control feels very different and the weapons feel much sloppier, which I suppose was done in the pursuit of realism but it detracts a bit from the gameplay. It doesn't get a 5 star only for the fact that I really do not think the vehicles were as good as they could be. Helicopters especially really feel underdeveloped and unrealistic. Tank turret turn speed is not customizable and it is too low for my taste. Besides those flaws I still do think it is a worthy entry in the Battlefield series. The Vietnam expansion is definitely my favorite mode to play over all the basic content. Your Vietnam mode experience and unlocks count towards the basic content and vice-versa. - Battlefield - Vietnam - Shooter - Pc Game'
