Micro Wrist Weights - weights, valeo

Another reviewer had noted that these weights are small, and I agree. I'm pretty thin, and these fit perfectly and are very comfortable to use. If you have a lager build, these probably aren't for you, but I love them. Valeo WW2 2-Pound Wrist Weights

These are super soft, like a silky terry cloth. These are a bit on the small side for a medium-large framed woman's wrist. However, these are perfect for a child's wrist or even ankle. These are used in my child's therapy, and they fit perfectly on an 8 yr old's wrists and ankles. Very comfortable.

Even for a small woman such as myself, these wrist weights are so tight I can barely cram them on at all... let alone keep them on and exercise without damaging my skin! These should be advertised as weights for a child because they do not fit an adult - even a small slim adult.

I am an average size 5'4'' women, and it fits perfect on me. (wrist size of 6 in)

The weight was just right, not too heavy, but enough for light exercise. It's 1 lb each, total of 2 lb both weight.

I wear it while I am on elliptical, and sometimes on top of my 5 lb weight.

If you are man, do not buy it. Because it's not elastic, it fits barely on my wrist.

If you have a big hand or thick wrist, measure your wrist size. If it is more than 6 1/2 - 7 in, think again.

I'm very happy with this product, for me right now, they are perfect. The 4 rating is twofold however, one I can see how many people might not even be able to get a wrist in. I have small hands and had to struggle (but I like the snug fit), others probably couldn't even squeeze in. And also the material feels great, but looks a little dicey. The seams are already straining quite a bit with the struggling, I could easily see a rip in a few months of regular use. At 10 bucks though, I wouldn't mind an investment 3 times a year if need be. Anyway, great product, could be a tad bigger with sturdier material around the sides. But for right now, these are exactly what I was looking for to add to my cardio workouts.

I love the size and comfort of these. I ordered a pair and within 1 week they started leaking at the seams. I then did an exchange online and AMAZON was great about taking care of it. However, the second pair did exactly the same thing. I would not buy these or recommend to anyone!

The day I received these they tore open and the little beads and grannules on the inside started to come out, not to mention I have about a 5 and 1/2 inch wrist and small hands and it is very difficult to slip these on over my hands onto my wrists. I dont see how anyone with larger hands and wrists could wear them. My advice is dont waste your money because once they tear it is not worth the shipping to send them back!! - Valeo - Fitness - Ankle Weights - Weights'

Very nice TV. Great picture quality, and even better sound. I usually don't expect much from built in speakers, but I have to say the ones on the RCA are impressive. I mounted the TV to the wall, and connected my HD box, and have no complaints. Sports, particularly hockey look and sound great! I would definitely recommend this TV to anyone looking for good value at an affordable price. RCA 46LA45RQ 46" 1080p Full HD LCD TV

I really feel like I got a great deal for my dollar. Right out of the box, it was very easy to set it up. My roommate and I put the whole thing together without really having to read the manuel (we glanced at it to make sure we were doing everything right, and we were, it was all very intuitive).

The picture quality is great, not overblown like the TVs in the store are (they're trying to showcase how bright everything is, but the color balance is actually way off).

The sound is pretty good, not the best. The way our living room is set up, we don't have the TV against a wall; there is open space behind the TV. I think that's why the sound isn't very good because there is no wall to deflect the sound toward the audience. But, if I just turn up the TV just a little, I can hear everything fine. One thing I learned is not to mess too much with the pre-installed sound settings. I tried this and then the speakers would get all fuzzy when there was a lot of bass in the audio... like the speakers would rattle inside the set or something.

All I gotta do is find a good set of external speakers to shoot the sound forward instead of out the back, and I'll be set!

I would recommend this TV for anyone. It's a great deal and a great size TV for the living room.

I've had this TV for a week now in my living room and have been impressed. I have a 46" Sharp LCD that I can compare this to (which cost a lot more), and this RCA stands up pretty well next to it. Picture quality is really good, sound is clear, menus are easy to use, remote is quite nice, and I've yet to find any problems. I was able to setup my Tivo remote to control this TV without any issue.

Not to get off topic, but I'd previously purchased a TCL 40" from Amazon and sent it back due to the horrible sound, no universal remote seeming to work with it, and annoyance with the on screen menu. This RCA has none of the problems the TCL had. That could be why I'm extra happy with this TV. Granted, it's only been a week... but I wanted to set some minds at ease that are considering this TV.

the price of this tv seemed to good to be true, and a few negative reviews made me a little worried, but then keep in mind there are those who have extremely high expectations OR have no clue how to use technology and blame the quality of the product rather than blame their ignorance or laziness how to figure something out.

this tv is not even hard to figure out. the menu is very easy or you can just press the 'picture', 'aspect', or 'sound' button on the remote to your preference. also, when it comes to HD quality, you also need to go into the display settings of your device (cable receiver box, game consoles, internet media boxes, dvd & blu ray). this is no different than other tvs.

so far i've connected my uverse dvr, roku box, ps3 and they all work well! i did notice the quality sucked before i changed the display settings to match the tv on the roku & ps3. i am in love with my new tv. this is my 1st TV this big. my 3rd tv i've bought and my best choice.

i've found the tv to be real loud when you turn it up all the way, so i'm not sure why you'd need it that loud anyway or why anyone would think it wasn't loud enough. if you need that much sound, than you just need to get speaker system set up.

only reason i see someone wouldn't this is just for better specs like a 120hz, LED, or usb for media... but i am not the type where those make a difference to me or use these features. i already have a roku box, so i don't need an internet ready TV. if i want to watch my media on it, i could connect my laptop via PC input.

anyways, get this tv, i don't see how anyone could hate or regret it. i'm assuming RCA took a hint about people not liking the red bar on this. i saw it before i bought it. it didn't even bother me, but my TV did not come with the red bar. either way it does not make a difference to me!

I purchased this television to replace an ailing Samsung plasma that I'd had for about 10 years. The picture is bright and crisp, as expected from an LCD, but of course the blacks are not as deep as my old plasma TV. Still, the picture quality is solid, and it's about 10 pounds lighter than my previous 42 inch. I like the positioning of the inputs: you don't have to crush your cables when wall-mounting the TV anymore (which is what eventually killed my old Samsung).

The speakers are mediocre. They're a bit tinny, and when the EQ is set to amplify the lower frequencies the low end sounds very hollow. When using the audio outs, though, and running it through home theater speakers, it sounds great. My old Samsung had a little delay when using the audio outs that I'd attributed to my 20 year old receiver, and it turns out that it was the Samsung's fault. I'm very pleased with the RCA now that it's integrated into my home theater system, and use the TV speakers as a center speaker in the home theater setup.

Hard to beat this TV for the price.

UPDATE: ...And after 9 days of use, 1/2 of the LCD panel died. Amazon would have accepted the return, but I tossed the original packaging. Crap. Called RCA and they're sending a tech to my house to fix it in a couple of days. I'm disappointed, but I'll post how the repair service goes.

UPDATE ON WARRANTY SERVICE: Since I'm an idiot, I just assumed Amazon wouldn't send out a replacement TV without me sending the return first. Of course they'll send a replacement out as long as you return the other TV within 30 days, so I'm using the packaging from that TV to send back the defective one. Tech support guy did come out (provided by A&E Factory Service for RCA) and determined it was either a power supply problem or a defective panel. Ordering new parts would take a week, so I'm returning the TV to Amazon instead. Interesting thing that the Tech pointed out to me: the panel and the power supply were manufactured by Samsung. TV set was assembled in China, of course.

Dropped my rating by a star because of this quality issue, but I have to say I'm pleased with Amazon's service and at least the promptness of the warranty service. - Lcd Hdtv'

Black and Decker has only one Versapak tool in their current catalog--a screwdriver. The other Versapak tools have all been discontinued. B&D sees profit in convincing its customer base of Versapak users to switch over to this newer NiMH based battery. But there are limitations to the gold battery. B&D does not provide a fast charger for the gold. According to B&D, a full charge of the gold in any Versapak charger--from fully drained to fully charged--will take 9 hours!!! When not in use NiMH batteries drain their charge much faster than the Nickel Cadmium silver battery. Like all NiMH batteries, they have a faster discharge rate than other tool batteries when idle. If you want a fully charged gold, you should charge the battery overnight or store it in its plugged in charger. The latter was recommended by B&D customer service, but that is not convenient unless you use Versapk tools quite frequently. On the upside, NiMH batteries have no memory problems, so you can charge them anytime without loss of power. But the gold battery is also more expensive than the silver. Our local Menards now carries only the gold. I assume the silver version is now discontinued. Menards priced individual gold batteries at about $18 plus tax. The 3 batteries offered here come bulk wrapped in plastic without the original protective caps to prevent damage. Vp 110 - 3 Versapak Gold 3-pack Batteries - Versapak Vp110'

Work Lights - milwaukee, flashlight

Visit Store Now !!

I already had the real-McCoy Milwaukee M12 LED work light which is pricey but delivers the goods. I was truly impressed with its light output and beam pattern. This was after terrible performance from Makita's LED flash light which costs less than half. I wanted to upgrade another Makita flashlight which I use a lot to Milwaukee's LED technology.

In short, it didn't fit. See my customer image. I then put this LED "upgrade" into an M12 incandescent work light that I also had. It would be a perfect A/B comparison to the M12 LED work light that I mentioned above. See my customer images comparing the two as well as comparing the LED-upgraded M12 to typical Makita 18V work light. The light output of the LED "upgrade" is a joke.

In a nutshell, this product needs to go back to the drawing board. You are better off spending the money on Milwaukee's factory M12 LED work light or possibly on their factory M18 LED work light if you can use those batteries. The M12 LED work light is one of the best work lights I have used. Milwaukee 49-81-0090 M12/M18 Flashlight LED Upgrade Kit

I used this LED to replace the M12 lamp. It does work a little better and definately burns cooler than the original. There is nothing wrong with the lamp itself. The problem is in the reflector. When you compare the reflector on a LED light, it is deeper and designed completely different. I ended up painting my reflector white and now it gives a more even light but it does not project very far. Works nice for up close work. My opinion is to save your money and just buy the "M12 LED Flashlight". It is expensive but it works great.

Almost a year ago, I bought this as a bulb replacement for my Ryobi One+ 18V P703 Work Light. (because the first time I used it, I dropped it from just 4 ft, and it broke it's filament bulb.)

(1.) This replacement LED light is NOT a long distance "spot" light, it's more of an AREA WORK-light. If you want a spot light, this isn't what you want.

(2.) It's much brighter than my original bulb, and the battery lasts much longer. (and the head runs much cooler). The original bulb cast a wider ragged "spot", where this LED is more "even" lighting, with a tight "spot" in the center. I use it in areas where before I would have used a trouble light.

(3.) My Ryobi light using this LED bulb at 3 foot distance from the wall lights up a 9 foot diameter area with a 2.5" center spot. The center spot is brighter, but I find I use the broader main light area more because it has a more even light.

The broad-beam area on this light is actually bright enough to be usable, where with a regular spotlight, that area would be (or seem to be?) much dimmer.

I can usually set it about 2 foot distance away from my work, and it lights the whole area that I want to see, not just a tiny spot in the center. (I've used it for wiring circuit breaker panels, light switches, etc. when the MAIN power was switched off, and this was my only source of light.)

(If I need a distance spot light, I'll use another flashlight like UltraFire WF-502B "SST-50" 1000Lumens LED, but at the expense of reduced battery run-time.)

I've got three of the Milwaukee v28 flashlights that we use on our farm. They put out a lot of light, and the battery life is pretty good. After burning out a couple of bulbs, I decided to try this LED upgrade. It looks funny, and is pretty expensive, so I was a little hesitant.

It works great. The light is much brighter, and more white than the standard bulbs. It is, however, more focused. The beam has a bright center and a wide corona, unlike the more even illumination of the standard bulb. I wasn't sure I liked this effect, but I've gotten used to it, and the concentrated center beam makes it easier to illuminate distant objects. Overall, it's a great upgrade, and I'm very happy.

I have the Milwaukee V28 (cat 49-24-0185) light. The LED bulb works appropriately in this housing. Compared to the incandescent (original type) bulb, the LED gives a more consistent light (no modeling of light). Typical of LEDs, the light is more of a 'white light' versus having a yellow cast like incandescent... this is especially nice for doing work by it. I have not yet used it enough to comment on the expected increased battery run time (though this is typical of LEDs and probably the main reason why I purchased the bulb).

Negatives: there are two negatives... The light quality, as mentioned above, is good, but you should be aware that there is a more pronounced area of very bright light in the center and then the light intensity dramatically fades. Most of this, I believe, is because of LED bulb design (it's inherent). LEDs are very directional. This a single bulb design (versus if you purchase a household LED fixture or have LED tail lights on your car, they use multiple LED bulbs pointed in different directions for fuller coverage). I just want you to be aware that peripheral lighting for the beam is significantly weaker in intensity.

Second, pricing is obviously on the high side. $40 may still be too high to justify this purchase for many users. For comparison, you can purchase a 3-D maglite flashlight (housing and LED bulb) on Amazon for $23... and this is an excellent flashlight. I suspect that if you can wait a couple of years, like most LED bulbs, this will probably go down in price.

So, over-all, if you can justify the high cost, this bulb will enhance the quality of light and expected increased run time with a Milwaukee V28 housing.

Despite what others are saying this dropped right in and the light output is fantastic. Perhaps it is because I am using it in a 28V tool, which is is rated for and will fit nearly any utility flashlight out there as it was the same as my ridgid as well. I will post up some pictures when I get a chance, but a great upgrade for any work light. - Milwaukee - Led - Flashlight - M12'

I hesitated between this one and the more expensive one being leery of a better price, but this stand is fantastic. It holds a 19" screen in front of the treadmill perfectly and probably can go larger, I think there is a weigh limit that the 19" does not even come close to maxing out. Tall enough, adjustabel enough and strong enough. I don't know why there aren't more products like this on the market with all the home gyms out there. This way we can put the treadmill and TV dvd combo on the porch if we want to and not have to worry about it being in the way. Audio 2k Ast-420y Flat Panel Lcd Tv/monitor Stand with Tripod Base

Pros: Costs less than wall mount and don't have to worry about holes in the wall - plus I can move it around when needed.

Took all of 10 minutes to put together

fast shipping

Cons: could be taller

no shelf for cable box or DVD player to sit on

shipping was pricey

Purchased this for use with a treadmill. 22" flat screen TV fits perfectly. I have the treadmill on the highest incline so to see the TV over the console I had to make the stand as high as it would go - including pushing the base in a bit so it's a little unstable. I don't know if it's possible to tilt the TV back at an angle - just mounting it almost makes it hang in a downward position. I tinkered with some of the screws in back and it's now hanging at a slant, which is driving me batty. This is probably my fault though, not the product.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase. I would purchase it again and recommend it as a decent and affordable treadmill TV stand.

Most excellent product - 5 Stars in design, Stability, Professional Look, and operation. Stand sets up in seconds, will hold up to 32" LCD - Flat panel monitor. I use for 14" LCD Monitor for video production - Looks & works great - Very impressive - Great price Great Product - Excellent customer service - You could buy from someone else - But these guys sell it for less and you get the benefit _ Many Thanks _ Black Door Films

Very solid build, quick and easy setup. I bought it for my mobile DJ and Karaoke setup, but now I use it as my everyday stand and keep my 19" LCD TV on it in my office. I just lift off the top part that holds the TV and fold down the bottem tripod for easy transport. Love this stand. Definately worth the price.

I have been in the entertainment business for over 17 years, and I have purchased many items such as this. It is strong, sturdy, totally adjustable to any viewing angle. It is surely tall enough for any application and the legs extend out to create and Very stable foundation. I currently use one for a 24" flatscreen, and it is perfect.. Trust me-- it is worth twice what I paid for it..

When purchasing this item I thought it was the very best ever! I didn't immediately use it when purchased in January. I love the look, the function, however, when I finally used it in April at a Karaoke Gig, while someone was singing, my 20" LCD panel fell off the stand. Thank God, my co-host was nearby who caught it. I thought maybe the screws weren't tightened properly. Unfortunately, that wasn't a good look for my business. Later that week, my husband took a look and advised the screws did not properly fit with the bracket. I refuse to believe that so we used it again at another gig. A we put it together, place the LCD panel on the stand, it fell again. He thought we'd use something to tighten the screws which seem to have helped

This past Memorial Day weekend, as I try to screw the bracket on the stand, the screws had appeared to not tightened.

Although this is an IDEAL piece of equipment that I thought would be a great gain for my business, it was such a loss for my pocket and exposure. I can't seem to find any information of the warranty process so its just a lost to me at this point. I'm not even sure if its worth ordering a more expensive version of the same product and risk another loss. Sadly I have another gig this Friday and this product serve me no purpose...Guess I'm back to setting up my karaoke screen on the table....God knows its safer then this product.'

I took my Niece to see it and expected it to begood but I was not prepared for what followed. What a terrific movie.Woody and Buz have worked through the problems that existed between them in the first Toy Story and have become the best of friends. I laughed throughout the movie. What humor, I loved the scene where Mrs. Potato Head is packing Mr. Potato Head for his trip to save Woody and she packs his angry eyes "just in case". The depth of the personalities, the humor and thoughtfulness of each of the characters makes me feel as though these are real people. I have put this movie on my list of "All Time Favorites" My Niece is 5 and I am 47 and we both loved it. I am eagerly waiting for it to be available for home viewing so I can own my own copy. Hats off to Disney and Pixar for a job well done. Toy Story 2

My wife and kids (11 and13) actually kind of dragged me to see this one in the theater. Boy was I happy that they did! Toy Story 2 is really a great movie that had us all laughing a lot. It also provides for some very emotional moments (Jessie's song remembering her time as a favorite toy, among others). Many of the jokes refer to the first Toy Story, so it really helps if you know that one. What I personally liked best, though, has become a great "habit" with Pixar: The end trailors where the "stars" get to be their "own self": Here especially "Tour Guide Barbie" was a blast!Enjoy... I can't wait for it to come out on DVD to once again enjoy the great graphics AND sound effects that so impressed me in the theater last week!

For those who missed out on the earlier two dvd releases of "toy story 2" have a reason to cheer now! Their patience seems to have paid off. Thanks to buena vista, All new special edition of pixar's superbly crafted, highly entertaining masterpiece will be available on dec26.

Of course, there'll be quite a few new features as well alongwith a DTS track, a pixar dvd first(also available on the recently released 2 disc set of toy story 1 dvd).

As usual, first disc will contain the main feature which has been digitally remastered using higher bitrate with picture direct from pixar's digital source. Two audio tracks will be available on the disc, dolby digital 5.1 EX and DTS 5.1 ES.

It is being said that this will be a limited release. So grab this definitive edition dvd release of a classic as soon as its available. Trust me, you cant go wrong with this one!!!

It is rare for a sequel to surpass the original movie artistically as well as commercially. One of those rare sequels is "Toy Story 2". I didn't think it was possible for Disney and Pixar to create a sequel as good as the first "Toy Story" but they did. "Toy Story 2" is that rare treasure.

In "Toy Story 2" Woody is stolen by Al, the toy collector who plans on selling his collection of Woody and the Round Up Gang to a Japanese toy collector. With Woody kidnapped, Buzz Lightyear, Ham, Slink, Mr. Potato Head, and Rex sets off to find their kidnapped companion. There are three new characters in the movie, Stinky Pete (voiced by Kelsey Grammar), Jessie (Joan Cusack), and Bullseye the horse. The writing and animation is superb. I really enjoyed the scenes with Woody, Jessie, Stinky Pete, and Bullseye. One of my personal scenes is when the toy collector calls in the old man to fix Woody's arm. The details in the animation is amazing and very realistic. I also loved the scenes when Jessie reminisces about her former owner Emily. It was very poignant without coming off as drippy. Sarah McLachlan's song added a melancholy feel to the scenes. Another great moment in the film was when Buzz and the gang were in the toy store looking for Al, the toy collector.

"Toy Story 2" is one of my favorite Disney/Pixar collaborations. This is a film that can be enjoyed by all ages. It is also one of the best films ever, animated or not. The writing in this film is simply too good to ignore. I still enjoy watching this movie to this very day and not get tired of it.

In this sequel to Toy Story, Woody (Tom Hanks) begins to fear that his usefulness as a toy is coming to end. When Woody is stolen, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) organizes a rescue. While our erstwhile heroes are seeking Woody out, Woody finds out the truth about himself; it seems that in the `50s he was the star of a hit show - Woody's Round-up. Given a choice between returning to his owner (and facing the end of his usefulness), or staying with the Round-up gang and living forever in a toy museum, Woody is torn. Simultaneously, the rescue team is facing peril after peril, culminating in the ultimate confrontation - Buzz Lightyear versus the evil Emperor Zurg! [Color, created in 1999, with a running time of 92 minutes.]This movie is outstanding, and even better than the original! The darkness that shaded the original (Sid) is missing in this one, and the minor sadness is quickly replaced with adventure and hilarity. As an added bonus, the VHS includes the original Pixar cartoon Luxo Jr. and a set of outtakes (both originally seen in the theatre version), plus a video of the Riders in the Sky singing the Woody's Round-up Medley.The movie is entertaining and lighthearted, the soundtrack is entertaining, and the action is spellbinding. This is a great movie for all ages. I can't recommend it enough. - Dvd - Animation - Family - Pixar'

Not exactly as good as I'd hoped, but not bad for the price. Looks good, sewn well. My only issues are that the material and liner are thin, the wind cuts through it, and that there's no real padding on the inside. The brim leaves a funky dent in my forehead after I take the hat off. New Wool Blend Ivy Cap-Charcoal (S/M) W12S63D

This is a very solid newsboy cap. Nothing special, but the quality is pretty good for the price. Not as great, material-wise, as many nicer caps, but you get what you pay for. If you crave the look without the heavy price tag, this is a good purchase.

Ugliest paperboy I've ever owned, huge ostentatious bill with a button snap so you can unbutton it and appear as a 1940s mailman; a lot of material on top gives it the baggy look. You don't quite get the right idea from the pictures, which I suppose is why you should avoid buying this kind of hat online. If you want quality, pay the price for a Christys' Crown Series. If however, you wish to save some money and buy this garbage, you can have the one I purchased for free; just pay shipping through paypal and I will send you my disappointment.

I bought this hat in the small/medium size. It was a bit large so I washed and dried it on regular. Now it fits perfectly. I like the style of this hat. Has a classic look. Too bad they don't have these in other colors. I'd buy another.

It's not as warm as I would have imagined it to be, and is in fact rather thin material. However, it is a perfect spring/fall hat. It will take some serious head shaping to get it used to the way your head is settled within but otherwise is a great little hat for all casual occasions. It may also be kind of thin but I found myself quite warm inside of it because it is a Wool blend. Do not underestimate this cozy little hat for the price that it is offered as. - Newsboy Caps - Cold Weather Accessories - Flat Caps'
