Campbell Hausfeld - finish staplers, staplers

Questionable quality. I've had the gun just over a month and found it easy to use, lightweight, nice balance. I was fairly impressed. Then it just quit working, I'm guessing a seal ruptured somewhere inside b/c it just leaks instead of firing.

If I could get hold of someone at customer service I would find out what is wrong for sure, but they don't answer the phone, even during their limited office hours, and seemingly don't respond to their email. I'm sure it's still under warranty, but probably won't be by the time I finally get hold of someone.

UPDATE:

The leak was apparently the result of a seal getting dry on the shelf and coming unseated. It was a quick DIY fix. Since then, I've been using it regularly without any problems or complaints. I'd change the rating to a 4* if I could. Campbell Hausfeld 3/8-Inch to 1-1/4-Inch 18-Gauge Narrow Crown Air Powered Stapler: Model CHN10399

The Campbell-Hausfield air stapler arrived in perfect condition and works

like is supposed to do. I could not ask for a better product or at better price

Campbell Hausfeld CHN10399AV 3/8-Inch to 1-1/4-Inch 18 Gauge Narrow Crown StaplerExcellent product! Performs very reliably - jams infrequently to not-at-all. Would recommend this stapler on a par with any of the more "popular" brands.

This Little beauty is way more than I expected. I've only had it a short time but it is seemingly well made, performs very well and has features like the depth adjustment for the amount of penetration into the wood, which allows for proper use on both soft and hardwoods, and a very ergonomic soft grip handle. I highly recommend it. I don't think that, for the price, it can be beat.

I am very pleased with this product. I used it very easily for installing carpet cove base on a remodeling project. Now that I have it , I have found many other uses for it. The product is good and the price was right. I reccommend. Edw.J.

This tool will serve it's purpose so long as you are willing to compromise quality for value. I already own a Stanley/Bostitch framing nailer, a DeWalt 15 gauge finish nailer, a Porter Cable 18 gauge brad nailer, and a Bostitch 23 ga. pinner, so I have some basis for comparison. I was disappointed with the Campbell Hausfeld in the following respects, even considering that it's a third the cost of the competition:

1. The case is flimsier plastic than the Porter Cable or DeWalt cases. When pressing the three allen wrenches to get them back in their special slots, the entire case lining compresses as if it were no thicker than a soda bottle. The gun does not quite fit down in the molded recess made for it. All hard cases are a problem in that there is not much room for fasteners, but the box of 1-1/4" staples that came with this one does fit inside.

2. There are no stampings on the tool. There is no serial number. The model number and "date codes" appear on adhesive labels that are applied after the fact, suggesting that perhaps this tool came off the line some factory in China that puts out no-name tools for several buyers to use their own name plates. Campbell Hausfeld does not list this model on their Web site.

3. The bottle of pneumatic oil that came in the case is extremely flimsy, and the top flew off when I tried to squeeze a few drops from the bottle (even after poking a hole in the nipple) sending 30 wt oil splashing across my workshop.

4. The depth of drive adjustment had to be set to it's maximum limit, and even at that not all of the staples were driven flush when driving the 1-1/4" staples that came with the tool through 1/4" birch plywood into 5/4 poplar. With a healthy 80 or 90 PSI from the compressor's regulator, all my other pneumatic fastening tools would countersink the fastener and the depth adjustment has to be backed away from it's maximum position.

5. The staples that came with the tool do not bear any brand name and do not appear to be galvanized like other brands.

6. The tool leaks air from around the trigger during and after it fires, which may be a cause of the power problem in #4. Unless CH will send out a new 0-ring repair kit I intend to return this tool.

On the plus side, it did come with a fitting for the air hose which is worth maybe $2.

While I was expecting a reasonably good tool, I was a bit surprised with the overall high quality of the tool. I believe it would win in a head to head competition with most of its more expensive competitors. - Staplers - Finish Staplers'

this item works great the big thing is that you have to keep the disc wet when it is trying to clean off scratches so make sure to use the spray that comes with it i use about 2 squirsts on each disc if it sounds like it is boging down to much for you add another spray then after useing the rejuvinating spray letting the disc go around two revolutions one good spray with the dick cleaner is all i need i wipe it down with the towl that they give you with it and i have a cd that barly skips when befor it had a good amound of damage to it Skipdr Xbox Disc Repair/clean

1st of all it did not come with original packaging, but everything was sealed i thought it should be fine.

2nd when i checked the manual it should come with a Cleaning Solution & Rejuvenating Fluid witch there was only 2 of the Cleaning Fluid, and i said it could be the same!!!

3rd i did what the manual and all the people on youtube.com said how it should work but nothing... i tried it over 5 times and still it wont do what it should do with my Xbox 360 Disk.

This Item must be returned or Never bought from the first place...

Maybe it's just me, but this thing is made specifically for 360 games. Maybe so, but the 1st and only one I tried in this machine made the game go from unreadable during the game to completely unusable at all. xbox wants to play dvd. and thats in 5 different 360's!!!!!!! Hopefully gamestop can fix it for me.'

120 Hz Refresh Rate - hdtv, 1080p lcd hdtv

Visit Store Now !!

I've had this TV about a month now and am generally pleased with its performance VS price. I purchased this TV to replace a 44" 720P Rear Projection that was in my living room. This TV easily out performs that old TV. This TV is really very good when viewing HD sources. I matched a Visio Blu Ray player to use with this TV and there is amazing clarity. But, there is a noticable drop off when viewing non-HD sources like standard TV channels. Seriously, I don't think there are many 1080p sets that offer great standard definition viewing performance. Also, please note that there is an illuminated VISIO faceplate on the face of the TV that stays lit all the time. Now, using the TV in my living room this is not a problem for me, but if I had the TV in my bedroom it would drive me insane as it would probably illuminate half the bedroom! So far the only way I know to turn that light off is to unplug the tv from the power source. Please note that the remote for the VISIO TV was smaller than the remote for the VISIO Blu Ray player-that just seemed a bit odd to me. I also have difficulty menu-editing as when you are done editing they tell you to hit a button with a symbol on it that does not appear on the remote! Note sound output is pretty good-better than my 40" Sony Bravia, but I also am using a 5.1 HDMI theater sound system with it so I can pump it up even to higher levels when needed. On one BD I even had to turn the sharpness down bacause the main actor had 5 o'clock shadow that was so clear it was making me dizzy. VIZIO E470VA 47-inch Class LCD HDTV 120 Hz

So how about we get right down to it?

There are a few things with this set that are a little annoying:

- Sometimes, for no reason at all, the set will turn off and turn back on. The set will also turn off when going through the setup menu after pressing the 'Ok i.e. Select' button. The latter does not happen everytime, but it does it do it.

- This kind of goes along with the above. Startup is kind of slow at about 10 seconds. Time between channel switching is about 3 seconds, which also feels a little slow.

- The stand that came with this TV will not swivel to the right (when you are facing the TV), but will turn to the left.

- Setup. Took about 30 minutes for this to fully search, and program all of the analog/digital channels in my area (about 120). This is not an issue if you have satellite or a cable box.

- Sometimes when I am switching channels, the sound from the channel I eventually end up on distorts greatly and sometimes does not come on at all. To fix this, I have to switch channels and then back again.

****As you can see there are a few problems with this TV, and although I still do not consider them a deal breaker --only if the price of the TV is such that it is much lower than its competitors, note what you might be getting should you purchase this set.

However, because of the good price and relatively moderate annoyances of the above dislikes, this is still a great set to buy.

Here are the upsides:

- Picture quality. It looks fantastic on HD channels, and when watching sports. This is a 120Hz TV to help with watching sports and/or video games. On this particular TV the latter setting is called "Smooth Control". I left the smooth motion on high when watching basketball and football names, which greatly reduced blurring so that it was not really noticeable at all. Moreover, there are three different settings to adjust the smooth control : Low, Medium, and High. I did not notice any difference between them. Yes you can adjust this setting to stay completely off, leaving your movies in their normal framerate (24fps) instead of the "soap opera effect", which looks like 30fps. The setting is located under Menu----TV----More.

- Sound. Speakers on these TVs will never compare to aftermarket speaker systems, but I must say that the wait until you do purchase that system will not be terrible one. The audio, especially in surround sound, does very well at filling a room with a robust volume and with a variety of different sounds/instruments.

- Automatic picture adjust. Automatically adjusts levels of brightness/backlight to accommodate ambient light.

Comparing to TVs of all brands, this one is a must buy in the area of LCDs of the same picture size if it is 100-200$ less than its competitors.

I had a 2 year old 37" olevia aka spectra 720p tv I wanted to upgrade for christmas to a larger higher quality set for myself.

I bought this from amazon after doing a ton of research for 749.00 no sales tax and free delivery. The research seemed like it would be a good tv I had seen it in person in target the picture was decent. I was nervous about getting a vizio as it is well the low end product but everyone I talked to said vizio is a great brand to buy very reliable and good prices. HA It ended up being the biggest mistake.

First to start with amazons large shipping department is not like its reqular shipping. This is done by frieght carrier. I got a company called pilot. They lost the tv had lousy service and it took over two weeks to get to me. The people did a terrible setup job. Good note is that amazon handled this fairly well and discounted me 67.00 for my troubles. which made this a better deal.

The tv looked good after I fiddled with the settings. After the first day it shut off suddendly I thought I must have bumped the button. But not so it would just shut off at random. Three days it started loosing the sound in the middle of the show if I restarted the tv or hit the back button on my dvr it would fix the issue. I tried changing cables and then one of the HDmI inputs failed

Besides these issues the picture seemed decent the sound was decent it was a nice large size. For the price it was about the quaility I would expect but having a tv that loses power and sound isn't so nice so I called amazon and they sent a replacement. This time it was from a company called ceva who had excellent service, setup and the unit arrived promptly.

I get it setup and on the second day I started having issues with random power loss and loss of sound. I had it For me 700 bucks is a large expenditure. I wanted something nice and that works well. I'm terminally ill and spend 90% of my time in bed watching tv. So I really wanted something to make my life more enjoyable. A faulty tv is not this something.

I called amazon and did an exchange. After alot of research I choose a Samsung LN46C650 for 840.00 with a free wireless lanstick adapter. WOW this blows the vizio out of the water. The image and colors are a huge improvement. You get alot more features including internet tv. The samsung is 46" vs 47 on the vizio but you get so much more and the quality is 10x better. Even is you have to pay $250-300 more it is worth it to get the samsung.

Bottom line not reliable. Low price for low features and an ok picture if the unit works. Save some extra money and get the samsung LN46C650 or LN46C630. The vizio it is a decent picture where the samsung picture looks like you could walk right into it. Maybe other vizios are okay but this model is not it has big problem I got two units with power and sound loss and serval other reviews note the same issue. I won't buy a vizio every again.

The only good thing I can say is amazon does have excellent customer service and they went out of there way to make sure I was a happy customer and to meet my needs. - 1080p - 1080p Lcd Hdtv - 120hz - Hdtv'

I wanted a gray shoe. This is not quite as gray as I would have liked but it worked out to be better in a way because it blended with so much. But it is also the comfortable that is so great I wore it all day the first day. Great with jeans of all colors. ZigiNY Women's Cadillac Short Bootie,Black Leather ,8 M US

I ordered these in the black and they came the next day!! Love amazon they definitely deliver fast. I will be shopping here more often.

Headphones - j4, earphones

Visit Store Now !!

When I buy earbuds, the most important thing for me is the sound quality, followed by how comfortable they are in my ears. The J4 delivered on both of these. I was really impressed by the clarity of the sound and the attention to details in the design. I have had to toss other earbuds because of a flimsy jack or cheap connectors. With the J4s, it is pretty clear that they put some thought into trying to build a product that could take a beating. I have owned other JLab products and have always been impressed with their products and customer service. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for an affordable high quality set of earbuds. JBuds J4 Rugged Metal In-Ear Earbuds Style Headphones with Travel Case (Obsidian Black)

I've been a fan of JBuds for a while and have owned several pairs of J3s... keyword several. They had the most amazing sound (although lacking somewhat in bass) but they just weren't durable. I found myself constantly trying to protect them but inevitably one or both earbuds would go out. But no longer.

Durability:

-These things are tanks. You really won't believe it until you see them. Everything from the cable, to the earbuds, to the connector is built to last. I carry my headphones wrapped up in my pocket wherever I go and I can say I am not worried in the least about hurting these things.

Comfort:

-These are just as comfortable as the J3s if not moreso. For those of you who don't have J3s, basically these are just amazing to wear. I honestly often forget I'm wearing them. Furthermore, it comes with SEVEN TIPS!! There's practically no way you won't find one that fits you perfectly. When I first got the J4s however, I was worried about them staying in my ears because the cable and split is just so heavy. These fears were unfounded, and it ended up just being a slightly different feel from my previous very light earbuds.

Sound Quality:

-With the J4s I can distinctly pick apart each instrument and sound in the song. Nothing is muddied and nothing is lost. They're incredibly clear and have actually turned me into a sort of audiophile. I make sure to get the highest quality music files because I can hear every detail in them. It's truly amazing.

Price:

-Can't beat it!

This is one very nice set of earbuds. If the price seems a bit steep (I don't why it would), remember these things will probably outlive your grandchildren.

Right out of the box, I could tell it has a higher build quality than the previous JBuds. The flat cable feels very "solid" and the buds themselves are built stronger. The J4s are much heavier than the J3s and previous earbuds; if you are looking for lightweight, J3 is the way to go. My main concern about the build of these earbuds is how long the flat cable will last, much like the Beats earbuds by Dre. I think if the flat cable near the base bends too much from being in your pocket or the like, it will sever easily.

Onto audio quality. For the $30 that I shelled out, the J4s are a GREAT deal. I have only burned in for about 6 hours, but the bass is very "boomy," meaning they are strong and resonate well. I would have to disagree with one of the other reviews here; the mids don't sound actually that great for me. The mids are good, but not absolutely great; they can be muddied out by the bass sometimes. The treble is not nearly as high as the J3s, which are known for being very "bright" and having powerful treble. Overall, the sound quality is very good for the money.

Comfort is very subjective, so I will not go into too much here. It can be a bit annoying when something hits the cable and the sound travels to your ears. If you wish to run or hit the gym with these earphones, these are definitely not for you. It is not as bad when music is on and I'm just sitting or lightly walking.

Good earbuds, and a wonderful buy for the money.

*UPDATE*

Well, it's been about a month and a half since I purchased this. The right ear has blown out after light usage.

I used it about an hour a day on a 30 minute ride to and from work. Did not last nearly as long as I wished they did. I'm fairly disappointed.

WOW!!! First of all, let me say that when you first open the free case that is included in the cost, you are aware of the fact that these are some very different buds. The flat cable is a major improvment in design and durability! There is a clip that is included for keeping the cable in a somewhat stable position. Then the quality of the material itself is evident. These were built to last! I am thinking of seeing if stock is available for these guys. This is a company that is listening to the customer and developing a product that is superb and if I am right about the quality, will last for many years to come. I am listening to a variety of music as I write this and every song has been improved by the range of these cans! I am really happy to also have a case that fits my Zen X-Fi2 in the mesh and then leaves me the choice of using the plastic insert that holds the J4's in place during shipment or just tossing them in this large tray area that is there without the plastic insert. The sound quality is perfect for my taste. The J3's were a little bright IMO. These are strong in the mids and a nice full bass to boot. The highs are just bright enough. I can't wait to just finish up this review and just kick back and listen to Ocean Cloud by Marillion which is just starting, no time for spell check!!! Hope this helps. - Earphones - Jbuds - J4 - Headphones'

Samsung Captivate - captivate, charger

Visit Store Now !!

i wasn't expecting that much because these batteries are actually not very expensive compared to others. however, they last just as long as the original one i got with my phone so i can't complain at all. charger is good i never run out of battery life anymore 2X Battery + FREE Travel Charger W/ USB Output for Samsung Galaxy S, Fascinate, Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Captivate, T-Mobile Vibrant, i9000, i897, T959,

I ordered the batteries on the 1st, and they arrived on the 3rd. Talk about fast. Within an hour of ordering i received an email stating that the items had been shipped. The batteries themselves fit perfectly into my Samsung Captivate. No problem at all. I can even charge them while they are in the phone. Which some buyers could not. Keep in mind i am using the Captivate. I have been using the new batteries as my primary power source for a few days. The two i received last every bit as long as the original. depending on how you use them. The downside i see with these is if you charge them at night, and set them aside for a few hours, you will have a battery at 90 percent or less. once in the phone, you will have TWO extra batteries you can rely on. The stand alone charger is good too. Yes you can charge the original Samsung battery in it. The usb plug is a plus too. It does charge the batteries a little slow though. The charger has a bright light on it. This could be toned down a bit. It even stays on while its not charging any batteries. So its best to just unplug it when not in use. For the price, im telling you now. You cant go wrong. Great product, fast shipping.

These batteries will not charge in the samsung fascinate. They work fine if you charge them with the wall charger,but you have to take the battery out of your phone to charge them.

The batteries are really tight in the fascinate, takes a bit of prying to get them out, but they do work.

EDIT: 11/15/10 The seller posted on the ad they dont charge with the fascinate

my favorite thing ever? certainly. these batteries work as good as the original one and my phone no longer has a battery life problem. i love charging two batteries at a time and having spares to use at work and school!

awesome deal. 100% satisfied

I bought these batteries knowing that quite often the old adage that "you get what you pay for" is true. It certainly was true in my case. I gave these batteries a fair shot and made sure that I conditioned and recharged them properly for the best results. What did it get me? two junky, underpowered batteries and a decent charger. These lasted LESS than HALF the time that my stock Epic battery. That's already a poor comparison. not to mention they took forever to charge. Returned for refund. Run far away..

After 1 glitch, both batteries and charger seem to be working well for me...

The batteries fit nicely (not tight) into my Verizon Samsung Fascinate.

I carefully charged each battery from about 75% to Blue light, without overcharging (I'm not sure exactly what overcharging is and since you don't know how long it's been blue after noticing I hope that 1min-2hrs is ok, and that you shouldn't leave it (over)charging over night, for several hours...)

1 battery, however wouldn't work after that 1st charge?!?

(I tried several times, but the phone wouldn't come on with that battery)

I popped it back into the charger when I got back to our room and it turned blue quickly and has worked fine since (since I got them last week).

So if you are having problems with your battery try this.

Otherwise the only complaint I have was that the charger didn't come with instructions and the only place I found them was in these reviews (I didn't know which color meant charged?!?)

It is kinda silly having a USB connection if you can't plug your phone into it, although I imagine you can plug your Yoda USB Desk protector into it?

The phone recognizes the "clone" battery and complains of unsupported battery at power up. However, the phone works until the battery runs out of juice then it won't charge it. The charger will charge the original battery just fine. Samsung, stop this nonsense! We paid you enough!!!

With three batteries on hand, I won't fear of not having access to the phone while it being charged. The charger also serves as night-light while it plugs into the socket with its red/green leds. Another use, for free!

I have sprint EPIC 4G , and I purchased this battery, actually this battery last a little bit longer than my original one. and I do not get any charging issue like others said. I am exited that I will never run out of battery with 3 batteries in hand.

The batteries and the charger are in very good condition.

It works well, though I noticed that the batteries last a little shorter than the original.

Cool thing is you can charge the phone battery and another battery simultaneously.

Also, you may not be able to remove the batteries from the phone easily.

It solves my purpose of extending my phone's power.

After a single charge, I noticed battery became physically convoluted and dead. This is just 3 hours after receiving the product. Experiencing this, how could I use the other battery? Note that defective battery can brick your phone so be careful using a cheap battery.

To be fair, its charger is working fine. After incident above, I was reluctant to use the charger for original and other OEM batteries. But it turned out the charger was working fine with other batteries. - Extra Batteries - Captivate - Battery - Charger'
