Accessories - fuze, case

Visit Store Now !!

This is a fantastic little set of accessories that is, in my opinion, essential for any Sansa Fuze owner. The price is excellent and the quality of the items is terrific. Here's what you get:



1. Silicone skin: This is a black soft, stretchy silicone skin to protect the outside of the case of the Fuze. It slips over the Fuze, leaving all the controls and sockets available for use. The silicone is reasonably thick and textured on one side for easy gripping. We ordered a SILVER Fuze but one of us wanted black, instead. Well, PRESTO-CHANGE-O, he now HAS black!



If you are butterfingers (me) you will want this. Also, I carry my Fuze in the car, plugging it into an radio adapter for playing through my radio and the skin keeps it from banging around and getting damaged.



2. AC/DC and Car Charger: If you plug your Fuze into your USB port, it charges. But what if you are on the road or at a hotel sans computer? Plug in this USB cable that fits into either the charger socket or a 12 volt car socket. My only complaint is that the USB cable is short.



3. Arm band and belt clip: The arm band is a standard Cordura nylon and Velcro band. You can thread the band through the back of the silicone skin, and carry this on your arm for exercise or working around the house. We used our Sansa Clip for housework and exercise because it's small and fits on a collar, but the Fuze, with its larger capacity and ability to play pictures and videos, is a wonderful device. If you choose the Fuze, you'll want the arm band and belt clip to make the unit more portable.



The belt clip is thin white plastic (I don't think it's terribly durable) and has a screw button on the back that attaches through the back of the silicon case and onto the belt clip. This is the weakest of the set; I noticed the plastic screw threads do not always stay tight into the belt clip so be careful; you might want to put a drop of glue on the screw and permanently install the belt clip onto the skin if you're going to be moving around a lot with it on your belt. As in, going up and down stairs or otherwise really jumping around. This is a small worry, as I don't wear belts myself, but if the belt clip is going to be your primary method of carrying the Fuze, watch for the screw loosening and see what you need to do.



This set comes as a buy-along with the Fuze, and is an especially good deal, though you have to pay separate shipping costs. Even so, I was terrifically pleased with it and happy to add it to my Fuze. I recommend if you are buying a Fuze that you strongly consider adding this accessory kit. Durable Flexible Soft Black Silicone Skin Case with Belt Clip and Armband + USB Car + USB Home Travel Charger + USB Data Cable for Sandisk Sansa Fuze

I mainly wanted a case w/ a belt clip. This was a great price w/ the chargers and cables. Unfortunately, the belt clip is exactly as shown, cheap plastic. I ripped the case trying to get the clip holder on.

If you just want the case, strap and chargers than it's a good deal, if you need a good, functional belt clip, look elsewhere. I am left looking for a new case but the cables do work



The delivery was very quick.

I got 4 of these. I know that one works fine. The other DESTORYED my Fuze within 1 minute of plugging it in. The Fuze got very, very hot. I disconnected it immediately, but the damage was done. Then, when I called their "customer support", they said they would replace the defective charger ONLY -- too bad about the Fuze. They basically called me a liar, saying "well, we have only your word that it's the charger that damaged it". If you use one of these, you're playing Russian Roulette with your Fuze. Maybe the gun won't go off -- but maybe it will, and if it does, expect NOTHING from the seller. I still haven't heard if Amazon will make good on this or not. I will post a follow-up once I hear from Amazon.

This is a great accessory kit for the SanDisk 4gb Sansa Fuze. The car charger and the wall charger are a must for the frequent traveler or anyone who doesn't want to plug in to the computer every day. The silicone skin and arm band are great for athletic users.

HOW TO PUT THE BELT CLIP TOGETHER:

There are no instructions so your first thought would be to try to force the round retainer on the clip through the small hole in the cover. DON'T! You will rip the cover. UNSCREW the round retainer. Put the screw through the cover hole and screw it back together. Then put the Sansa Fuze in the cover.



The clip is actually quite nice. You slip it over your belt and the bottom of the clip springs back and catches the belt. It will not come off unless you want it to by pushing the bottom of the clip back and under your belt. The clip also has a lever that you pull outward on to release the Sansa and cover from the clip.



This package includes a 120 volt to USB charger, a 12 volt to USB charger, A USB to Sansa cable (not just charging, it connects with my computer just fine!), an armband, a rubberized cover for the Sansa Fuze with openings for the screen, all controls, and the connectors, and a belt clip that attaches (screws on to) to the cover. I got it in five days US Mail from CA to PA. Any one of these items would be worth the total cost.



Build quality is very good. The cable even had protective vinyl on the glossy black Sansa connector to keep it from being scratched during shipping.



If all you need is a USB charger, buy one of these before they come to their senses and raise the price. - Sandisk - Fuze - Sansa - Case'

Lay Out Tools - pin nailer, nail gun

Visit Store Now !!

At first I was hesitant to buy the PC PIN100. The reviews were the core of my concern. Does it leave a dent in the work? Will it quickly malfunction? Is the pin visible? Is it a quality tool, or a piece of junk? I took it out of the carrying case, and the clear plastic wrap, and immediately put 5 drops of the oil that comes in the kit, in the air nozzle. I wanted to ward off any jamming problems. Upon loading the nails, I noticed that there were multiple arrows printed on the side of the nail strip. That way you would load them in the right direction. If you ignored the arrows, and loaded them upside down, which is possible considering the small size of the pins, the sharp, fine, thin tip would be up, to do battle with the hammer coming down. Certainly, it would veer off to one side, thereby freezing the hammer and pin. In addition that kind of action could score the shaft, and that would lead to other possible misfires. People reporting problems with jams could have done just that. The top of the pin has a blunt-flat end on it, and the business end is sharp. Since they are so tiny, if you don't notice the arrows on the side, it is easy to load them upside down. These pins are not serrated, or ring shanked, but rather smooth on the sides. That way they don't receive resistance on the way down. Important considering their fine size. I was able to take the 3/4" pins, that come with the kit, and drive several into a 3/4" piece of oak, without any problems whatsoever. I first tested it out on a piece of scrap pine. Since I loaded the nailer with oil, it came out of the nose quite readily, which made a slight black mark where the pin went into the wood. Since the pine is very light, it showed. It was worth it, I wanted to break it in properly. After about 20 pins the oil cleared, I then went onto the oak, and it left a pin without any blemish. All in all with all of my testing, the pin nailer never misfired, or even hinted, at a misfire even once. I put it to the test with firing nails, as fast as I could squeeze the trigger, and never a problem or a glitch. You can fire a lot of nails very quickly with this tool. It doesn't have the safety nose that requires plunging like the rest of the Porter Cable finish nailer line. That way you can get into finely cramped quarters, and get the pin in at your desired angle. What PC did, was put two levers on the handle, one is a safety release, and the other one is the firing trigger. It is well engineered that way, and is easy and intuitive to use. How about the pin, does it show? On the first test pieces, with 5 drops of break in oil, it showed on the pine. After blowing it out with 20 pins, the oil deposits stopped, and all you saw was the pin hole. Does the pin hole become invisible by wiping water on the wood? I am getting critical here, but yes it does show. I was dreaming of the wood swelling, and making the pin hole completely invisible. That didn't happen in the pine and oak I tested it in. BUT the pin hole is so small, that all but the most critical customers will object to it. I have to admit that it is so tiny, that it couldn't be any smaller without disappearing altogether. Miniscule is the appropriate word here. It makes an 18 gauge finish nail look like a crater in comparison. For light colored wood it is barely visible, and for medium to dark woods it will disappear altogether. So if you are looking to attach really fine work, like 1/4" quarter round mldgs, this is just what the doctor ordered. I tried to be critical of the impression if any the head would leave in the work. When working with oak, even at the highest pressures, it did not leave a mark. Pine on the other hand, required a gentle touch. If you pressed down on the head while firing, it left a tiny impression. If you laid the head gently onto the surface, and fired, it left no impression whatsoever. Considering that pine is so soft, that you can leave an impression in it with your finger nail, I laid to rest any concerns about dimples in the wood. The air pressure range prescribed by PC is 60 to 100 PSI. It is advisable to stay within that range, whereas excessive pressures can cause problems. I imagine the firing apparatus is designed to ideally work within those ranges, and subjecting it to excessive pressure is reason for concern. I tweaked my regulator on the wall to 105 pounds, which would give me 100 or less at the gun, and it fired well without any difference in the head impression on the work. So what does all of this mean? Simply put, I love this tool. It does the job beautifully, appears to do so without any suggestion of malfunctioning. I have the Porter Cable 16 gauge, and the 18 gauge both in the BN 125A and the 200A, and this makes my fourth PC finish level nailer, and not one of them has given me any problems. (They can misfire if you run them dry. I guess that is why PC always includes a squeeze bottle of oil with every nailer.) This is a keeper. I bought the other size pin nails as well. They come in 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1 inch. It comes with the 3/4", so I picked up the other sizes. I am looking forward to using the PC PIN100 in doing the fine work. You can spend a lot of time, and get a large project to really look fine, but the small details can make the difference of looking like artwork, or a signature of a less skilled practitioner. This tool will make you an artist, on the detail work. Highly recommended. Porter-Cable PIN100 1/2-Inch to 1-Inch 23-Gauge Pin Nailer

On commercially made frame and panel doors you will notice two tiny little holes (that have been filled) on the back side of each joint. Even old dogs like me can learn a new trick once and awhile, and this struck me as a brilliant way of NOT being forced to wait for glue to set during the assembly process of frame and panel doors. My last project had 82 frame and panel doors and finished panels, and even gluing up two at a time in one set of clamps, I ran out of clamps pretty quick and then had to wait at least an hour prior to the assembly of more. My current project has 56 framed panels in 3/4" thick Western Red Cedar, Pine and Iroko so I decided to try a new way of assembly rather than play the waiting game. My PC pinner was purchased for just this purpose and I'm happy to report that this technique works like a charm and the glue joints remain tight while the glue sets AND the pin holes are truly "pin holes". On my current project the back-side of the panels is not visible so therefore I don't need to fill these holes, but on "good two side" projects these holes will not be an issue to fill. The longer the panel sits in clamps the better chance the glue has to "grab". To facilitate this I used two sets of clamps. I glued and assembled one panel in the first set of clamps, fired 5/8" pins into the joints and let that sit while I assembled a second panel in the second set of clamps. The clamps pull the joint together and the 5/8" long pins perfectly "pin" the tenon in the joint and hold the frame together once released from the clamps. Once the third panel was assembled I went back and removed the first panel from the clamps and set it aside to allow the glue to completely set, by the time I got back to the first panel the glue had just enough time to grab and the joint didn't budge. Just remember that they are 23 gauge pins and are there only to hold things together until the glue does it's job, so you can't be reefing on the joints until the glue has been completely set. In this alternating method I assembled all 56 panels in less than a day, totally cool! I estimated it would have taken the better part of a week to have done the same in the "traditional" way with only clamps. The PC pinner performed flawlessly even without "PC brand" pins and regardless of the material (Western Red Cedar is like hard butter and Iroko is just as hard and stringy as Elm) the pins were set perfectly each and every time at 100 psi. For everyone who has used nail guns, you do have a tendency to push down prior to firing a nail to push back the safety arm. This pinner has a trigger safety on it that you pull back with your finger, so there is no requirement to push down, just set the nose on the surface and pull the trigger. There is a bit of bounce back but I found that even on Western Red Cedar I could avoid a large "nose dint" by using care in how I held the gun against the surface of the material. I can see how this gun would be very easy to jamb as the pins have no head. The pins have an arrow on them indicating which way they get inserted in the gun for good reason. The ram is tiny and must be machined to very tight tolerances (which contributes greatly to the high cost of such a small and specialized tool), I would imagine that if the ram gets distorted or damaged in any way this gun will be problematic from there ever-after. So handle and use this tool with care, if ever there was a nail gun to put the prescribed drop of oil in prior to use this is it. I'm sure I will find a million other uses for this gun over time, but for now I'm very pleased that it worked like a charm for the purpose I bought if for. You've got to love it when a new tool pays for itself on the first job! One other piece of advice, this is NOT the gun for you if you are looking for a "nail gun". This is a "pinner" and should ONLY be used for that purpose. It can fire pins between 1/2" and 1" in length ONLY, most nail guns can fire nails from 3/4" to 2 1/2" in length. For general nailing buy a gun that fires 18 or 15 gauge nails, they are relatively cheap, much more durable and the nails are cheaper. Made in Taiwan yes, but made to very high standards so I have nothing disparaging to say on that front. Highly recommended. - Pinner - Nail Gun - Porter-cable - Pin Nailer'

I'm taking an art class for grad school and needed a nicer sharpener. Had two cheap ones I hated. The reviews seem to heavily favor a couple of Panasonic models, but nobody seems to have them in stock. The next highest rated sharpener was this one, and it had a couple positive reviews, so I ordered it.



Pros:

Weight: Doesn't get pushed back when you stick a pencil in it.

Weight II: The motor is heavy. It takes up about half the volume of the box. It feels like a substantial device.

Motor: Steady and reasonably quiet. Not jerky or wobbly. Doesn't strain during sharpening.

Sharpener: Shaves evenly and smoothly and won't eat pencils unnecessarily fast. Produces nice, long points.

Fit: Standard Prismacolor pencils fit neatly in the hole and won't wobble during sharpening. Seems to be manufactured with rather tight tolerances.



Cons:

Sucker feet: They prevent lift, but not sliding. They should have used regular rubber feet.

Static: The plastic has a tendency to get a static charge and makes shavings cling to the outside when you empty the shaving tray. Wipes up without much trouble.



Summary:

Pros easily outweigh the cons. It performs the way you'd expect a high quality sharpener to perform. I can't imagine I'd be significantly happier with a competing product. X-Acto 1744 Heavy-Duty Electric Pencil Sharpener, Black, 1 Unit

I was a little hesitant to go with this brand as I had never heard of it. Also, at the the time of purchase, this product had only 9 reviews, although all were largely positive.



However, after reading "Truth and Justice's" review, I decided to try this one out. The sharpener is everything he/she said it was. By far, this is the most powerful sharpener I have ever used in my life and I have been in numerous office environments.



To address the complaint of one reviewer that the sharpener eats the entire pencil, let me explain my experience. I just got through a stack of about 30 pencils and my experience is this is dependent on the brand/quality of the pencil. For most pencils, this was not a problem at all and the sharpening came to a natural conclusion.



For a few varieties, it did eat up a lot of pencil, but i realized after a while that the pencils were sharpened long before and I did not always need to get that sense of completion. I would just take the pencil out after a few seconds. As I mentioned previously, this thing is a machine, and if you keep the pencil in there, it will keep sharpening it until you have nothing left. I view this as part of the positive experience.



I highly recommend this unit.

So far this has been an awesome pencil sharpner. I received it quickly. Most important it is durable, when I first received it all my kids were excited to use it. And of course one of them put the eraser end in first...but I was able to pull out the metal piece and it works just fine. Worth the money, wish I would have bought this before I bought the others.

When I was a kid, we had a boston electric pencil sharpener.



So you can imagine my happiness/surprise when I saw "Xacto by Boston" on the box. I felt better about my purchase already, because Xacto means nothing to me, really, as far as pencil sharpeners go. Seeing as how I had just spent a small fortune on a pencil sharpener, I needed something to make me feel better but I had already gone through several manual and one battery powered sharpener and I really needed something as good as the ol' Boston we had when I was a child.



Other interesting details from the box:

1) This supposedly has a receptacle size 7. The largest is a 10.

2) On a scale of 1 to 4, this one is rated for "heavy" use (a 3). The only higher usage is "continuous" (a 4).

3) It has a whopping 2 year guarantee.

4) The box also says "Auto-reset prevents motor burnout". we already used this feature. My kids sharpened about 50 pencils IN A ROW. it was soooo satisfying for them to see a perfectly sharpened pencil emerge each and every time they sharpened (even my wife's friend came by and wanted to sharpen a few). But, they overheated the poor sharpener. it stopped running. Sho nuff, the next day after it had cooled down it was ready for action again!



Overall, i have to say I was VERY unhappy to spend $40 to get a good sharpener, but this one has every indication of lasting a long, long, time.



I would rate this a definite BUY, once you gag down the almost $40 price tag. I wish I had bought it to begin with!

I teach 1st grade and we go through lots of pencils a day. I have had 2 other electric sharpeners and was tired of one side of the pencil never getting sharp enough to expose the whole lead at the end. Kids were picking at the wood all the time trying to get their pencils to work. I researched pencil sharpeners and relied mostly on reviews so I wanted to let all the teachers out there know, this sharpener is my favorite. It is quick and pencils are sharp all the way around and life in 1st grade is all good!!

I use an electric pencil sharpener every single day of my life, for hours at a time. The one I've relied on for years -- a "lesser" X-Acto model -- started to grind and break lead, so I figured I'd splurge and buy a top-of-the-line X-Acto model. This is not, however, top-of-the-line.



1) The blades do not sharpen the pencil. Sure, they hone it into a sharp-looking cone like all pencil sharpeners do -- but they leave a substantial flat end to the point which is, by any draughtsman's standard, not at all "sharp." Maybe this defect was a problem only with the one I bought, but for $40 I would have expected that its main usage would have at least been tested. It is NOT a "sharpener."



2) Most importantly, however, the actual blades are recessed so far into the guts of this machine that you have to reserve 3-4" of pencil to hold before the blades even engage. I frequently use pencils down to 1" or less before I ditch them, so that means I'm losing 1/3 of the life of each pencil. The sharpener I'm replacing (and to which I'm returning, after I return THIS clunker) engage almost immediately upon insertion of the pencil itself.



Yes, this review sounds insane. But if sharp pencils are your life, then don't buy this extremely poorly-designed deep-action pencil-wasting "blunter." - X-acto - High School - Professional - Pencil Sharpener'

Replacement Battery - power adapter, power adaptor

Visit Store Now !!

This charger is really cheap and works with my DV4 series laptop. It charges the battery and does everything a normal charger should do for a fraction of the price compared to the chargers available at retail stores. It also does have a light on it to tell you if it is on. However, it does have some major drawbacks. One, the cord is a bit shorter than the original. Not a big deal, but it is annoying sometimes. Two, when I plug this charger into my laptop, I can hear a high pitched noise emanating from my computer; this is certainly not the case with my other original HP charger. When I plug any of my monitors into my laptop with the new charger in, the screen becomes shaky and unstable, like it is receiving interference. When I use my regular HP charger, the problem goes away. Thus, this leads me to believe that there is a problem with the way the chargers are manufactured.



Even though the price was really good, it makes me hesitant to use this charger because I am afraid that it might destroy my laptop in the long run. I would say this is a good charger to use only when no other options are available. If I knew this information when I bought the charger, I wouldn't have bought it. New Replacement AC Adapter Laptop Charger for HP Pavilion DV4 DV5 Series; HP G50 G60 Series

I was skeptical with this being $15 cheaper than others but it works fine. I got a second one for work. Now I have one for work and home offices that I don't have to unplug. I keep the original in my laptop case for the road.



Only thing to be aware of is the cord is slightly shorter than original. It is not too short by any means but it is shorter by a foot or so. So if you need this for a lengthy reach then make sure you get an extension cord or buy something else.



Hope this helps!

Perfect condition, good packaging.

Not a whole lot to say, the charger came new.. you can't beat that for this price.

I prefer it to my original adapter as the one MoonTech shipped me had an LED display for when the charger was plugged in..

Thank you, good buy if you need a replacement.

I got this adapter as a replacement for my sons laptop 3 months ago. A few days ago it started making noise and overheated and melted! Good thing we were home, it would have burned the house down. This is a piece of junk. STAY AWAY!

THIS ADAPTER CAUSED MY LAPTOP TO SHORT CIRCUIT AND CATCH FIRE!



Just because an adapter is listed to be compatible with your laptop DOES NOT MEAN IT IS! I'm not an expert and cannot properly explain it, but a technologically capable friend of mine told me that the voltage of this adapter wasn't the same as my old adapter, and the difference caused my computer to short circuit and go up in smoke. And because this happened with a replacement adapter and not the original given to me by HP, my warranty doesn't mean a damn thing. So please check to make sure the voltage is the same, I'd hate for someone to go through what I just went through!



GO WITH THE SURE THING! I really wish I would have spent the money on one approved by HP! I TRIED TO SAVE FORTY BUCKS AND NOW I HAVE TO COME UP WITH 700 FOR A NEW COMPUTER! I AM SO FULL OF RAGE.

What I paid for, and expected, was a charger that would perform up to industry standard and last AT LEAST six months. That didn't happen.





The product is horrible. Charged the laptop just fine(although it did overheat) for the first two weeks, developed a short in the next week, stopped charging completely within a month. Even the housing around the innards was poor, the cords couldn't stand up to BASIC wear and tear. Do yourself a favor, and just spring for the expensive HP replacement.

i bought this charger amazed at the price and when i received it, it worked great for around the first month but then it stopped fully charging my laptop and now doesnt even work!! then i contacted the seller and they havent answered me so i dont know what to do because i have a 12 month warrenty and i cant use it because the seller will not contact me back!!!! i am sooooo dissappointed with this product and strongly suggest you DO NOT BUY IT!!

I purchased this product because it was cheap and I didn't do much research on AC adapters. Next time, I will be more conscious about what I purchase. Not only was I shocked every time I plugged in the cord, the cord would generate an excessive amount of heat. After only a few uses, my computer started running slower, and now over-heats. Upon further inspection by an expert, I found out the plug was not properly grounded (despite having a 3rd prong), and the amperage it was outputting was much higher than it claimed... thereby melting my computer. Awesome right?



Anyway, I have since returned this cord, and have purchased a much better one. In my opinion this AC adapter is a waste of time and money. For the safety of your outlets and your computer buy something else.

I ordered this replacement charger in October and it worked fine until last week. The charger began getting very hot and eventually stopped working. I actually watched it as it sizzled and made a spark. Now it doesn't work at all. I'm just thankful that it didn't harm my laptop or worse, burn my house down.



The price is low for this charger, but the risk is not worth it. - Laptop - Power Adapter - Hp - Power Adaptor'

Bathroom Scrubber - bathroom scrubber, scrubber

I have used the Black & Decker Scum buster for years. I like these little power scrubbers better because:



1. It's smaller and more portable than the Scum buster.



2. It performs the same as the Scum buster, so if I can get the same cleaning power in a small handheld device, I will pick that anytime.



3. The Scum buster uses those proprietary Ni-Cad cylindrical batteries. Those are a specialized battery that you have to buy at Sears or the hardware store and they are expensive.



This power scrubber uses four AA batteries. We all have those around the house. Moreover, I use Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries which means I am never out of power.



4. What I really like is that this power scrubber is small, light and easy to use. You don't get tired using it. The huge Scum Buster eventually gets tiresome to use and it's awkward to handle.



5. B & D designed the Power Scrubber to spin fast and powerful enough to really scrub things, like pots and pans, tile, etc. But it does not spin so fast to where it would shoot water, cleanser, or whatever all over the place. It's speed is perfect for keeping the cleaning material in the pad and on the surface you are scrubbing.



6. This is perfect for its intended uses, scrubbing the sink, things in the sink and the shower/tub. I even used it on my tires!



7. Bonus Tip: I find it works quite well when applying medium pressure to the scrubber. It's powerful enough that when applying pressure it does not stall, it simply scrubs harder, which is what I want in a device like this.



8. And I like that it can stay submerged up to ten minutes (per the owner's manual). That means you can leave it in the sink with the water running without worrying about it shorting out.



Bonus Tip: In fact, the owner's manual says that if water does get into the battery compartment you only have to stop using it and let it dry out over night. How cool is that, not having to worry about water damaging the unit.



All in all a great device. It has saved me a lot of work in the kitchen. Black & Decker PKS160 Power Scrubber

I LOVE THIS ITEM....IT REALLY MAKES CLEAN UP'S A SNAP. I PURCHASED ADDITIONAL BRUSHES, PADS ETC., SO I CAN CLEAN BATHROOMS AS WELL AS THE KITCHEN BY JUST SWITCHING THE BRUSHES OR PADS. I JUST LEAVE THE ATTACHMENTS IN EACH ROOM.

I bought this for my wife to assist in cleaning the sinks, etc. It enables her to do it more efficiently because she does not have the strength in her hands, wrist, and arm to facilitate the job. She likes it and it saves a lot of time in cleaning.

I do admit to having fantasies about a motorized scrubber that would magically blast away all the hard water stains in my bathroom and kitchen. The Black & Decker Power Scrubber did not fulfill these. It did, however, make cleaning much easier after I had surgery on my shoulder.



The scrubber will do roughly about as good of a job as regular elbow grease. In some cases it has been very handy for getting corners or areas that are difficult to scrub. In other cases, I find I need to just use a scrubby sponge and do it myself.



This product would be awesome for someone with arthritis or who is physically inhibited. As mentioned, is also good for places that may be uncomfortable to get at, like the bathtub floor.



The scrubbing pad fits onto the device with velcro. I was a little suspicious that it would not hold, but it hasn't come off yet. The batteries are holding up pretty well. I am still on my first set. The rotation is not super fast but good. It doesn't slow down too much when putting pressure on it.

Black and Decker is such a good company, but I was not pleased with the power scrubber. Not powerful and not a good scrubber. And the pads wear out very quickly and are very expensive to replace. A motorized toothbrush works better.

I have had this scrubber for a long time and love it! I was surprised so many reviewers felt the power was inadequate because mine has been great, and I can be very particular about design. So, I wonder if the tool has been changed, since it was originally produced.

Mine cleans some areas better than I can, AND when it comes to a really disgusting area, I feel so much better having my hand farther away, so this area actually gets cleaned better and more often (like the part of a sink that goes down to the garbage disposal - yuck!). This may not be relevant to many, but for those of us w/ a weak stomach, it is a Godsend!

As I have aged, this scrubber allows me to clean quickly and efficiently, when I would otherwise, have been too achy.

Because this tool has a variety of attachments available, I get more "cleaning mileage" w/ fewer individual tools.

This scrubber is so helpful that I have one for every sink in the house, and an additional one for odd cleaning jobs, elsewhere!

The Black & Decker Power Scrubber is a fairly good value in that it does what is expected at a reasonable price. It enables those who need or want to save some "elbow grease" in scrubbing pans etc. We have a glass top stove that constantly needs to be cleaned with a special product that removes grease and other cooking splatters and leaves the surface with a shine. The Power Scrubber with one of the scrubbing attachments works extremely well on this type of job. Scrubbing pots and pans is much easier with the Power Scrubber than hand cleaning. Batteries last a reasonable amount of time unless you press upon the Scrubber with a high degree of force over a long period of time. If you hear the motor laboring, it means that you are using battery power at a level that will result in sooner replacement.



Conversely, I find it almost comical that our society has produced, and is using, such a labor saving device when all it takes is some muscular movement to accomplish the same result. There are some people who would benefit much more from this device because of arthritis or other ailment or injury. In this case the Power Scrubber is almost necessary. Fortunately my wife and I, though advancing in years, do not have such a need yet. We just use the device to make cleaning pots and pans easier and less mundane. - Cleaning Tools - Cleaning - Scrubber - Bathroom Scrubber'

No doubt some shoppers will be attracted to this particular frame because of the "value" price. If so, rest assured that it's a quality item made by a new and unfamiliar company (to U.S. customers) that offers highly responsive customer support. When I was somewhat disappointed with the resolution of images despite the modest price (even lower in its Amazon debut), I sent a couple of e-mails to NIX, both receiving immediate and helpful responses. On the basis of the information provided, I moved up to the NIX XO8A frame which, I discovered, represents more recent technology. The resolution was considerably sharper (close to that of a new computer screen), and the 8" dimensions I found more satisfying than the 7" screen for one overriding reason: whether viewed vertically or horizontally, the image was clear and vivid--large enough, in fact, that it was possible to enjoy rectangular-oriented and vertical-oriented images equally without rotating the frame. With the 7" model, on the other hand, a vertical image became so reduced in size that it was practically mandatory to rotate the entire frame to a vertical position to be able to enlarge the image sufficiently to see it clearly. With the 8" model, you can set the frame on your desk and forget about it.



Still, it's unlikely you'll find as good let alone a better frame than the X07B at this price point. Moreover, springing for the 8" model is apt to make some buyers wonder if they shouldn't go one better and splurge on a cordless model with built-in memory. If I had required a rationale to keep this one, it would have been that it represents a minimal investment in rapidly changing technology (I know individuals who are still kicking themselves for purchasing a 720p screen just before 1080p became the norm or, a little later, a 120hz refresh rate replaced a "mere" 60hz or, more recently, a 3-dimensional set struck their fancy far more than the expensive two-dimensional model that had recently arrived in their living room.) So in a rapidly changing technological field of necessarily depreciating assets, sometimes it makes sense to contain your inevitable losses. Nevertheless, the difference between the NIX X07B and X08A models is likely to strike some consumers as fairly dramatic.

i got this for a friend and was pleased that she was pleased! didn't wanna spend too much so went for this frame. These more basic models don't have too many features, but i do like the multishow, splitscreen and random display seemed quite cool. I think in a large room the images made smaller by the mutishow and splitscreen might not work so well, but mary has hers on her desk so the effect works well. easy to use, not much more to say really

I am content with this frame. I received it as a gift. The resolution is crisp, the pictures generally look good.



A couple minor issues, though: the instructions that come with the frame are HORRIBLE. There isn't really that much functionality here; there's no reason they could not have written up better instructions.



Also, my pictures come out a little "stretched" horizontally. No, I do not have the aspect ratio on "stretch"--I have it on "original" ratio. I wish there were a way to tweak the display slightly. Does anyone know how to do that?



Still, the pictures are displayed very crisply, and for the price I believe the gift-giver paid, I am happy with the frame.

Me and my friend both bought ourselves 3 different digi-photo frames each, within the price range of $30-$60. So among all those 6 different photo frames, this one was the best. It has a lot of functionalities, with a pretty cool auto rotate function. It has a remote, and differnt photo presentation formats. It's very compact, with a small frame so you get to maximize the 7" screen. Above all, it accepts usb sticks, which to me is more practical than always using sd cards.



The only thing I could wish for is a slightly better resolution. I mean, the resolution is good enough, just a tad bit pixelated. But oh well, what did you expect for the price?

I've been looking everywhere for a decent yet reasonably priced photo frame. After reading the positive reviews left by other buyers, I decided to purchase this frame as a Christmas gift for my sister.



I must say that I am very impressed with the quality and simplicity of the frame. I like the sleek style, the random slideshow option and the way the pictures are displayed with clarity. I have no complaints and highly recommend this product. You won't be disappointed. - Photo Frame - Digital Photo Frame - Nix - Digital Picture Frame'

Framing Nailer - cordless nailer, nail gun

Visit Store Now !!

Bostitch copied most of the Paslode features including misfiring. There's nothing more fustrating than have your work lined up and then have the gun not fire a nail. Also, it only comes with one battery, and nowhere to get another one. What do I do while I'm waiting for the battery to charge? I bought it only because I own a regular Bostitch nailer and wanted a cordless unit that took the same nails. Bostitch GF28WW Cordless Wire Weld Framing Nailer

Purchased from Menards on sale and was very excited to try out. Was light weight and very portable to use. Drove nails deep up to 3 1/2 inch ring shank. Loved the gun when it was firing. Get into a position on a ladder holding insulation balancing a 2x4 and push and "did not fire or cycle" not once but several times. Would fire 5-10 nail then rest and reposition myself then would not fire. Read through instructions,called Manards couldn't find toll free number to resolve on the instructions or at Menards. Instructions made troubleshooting suggestions for not working, which I tryed and read several times with no results. Returned to store for refund and wasted a 1/2 fooling around and frustrated with product. Will wait for Masterforce cordless copycat then purchase extended warranty when it fails return direct to store for new one or buy an air driven. Would have liked better service understanding and would probably have kept, if I thought issues could have been resolved with Bostitch not Menards. Price was reasonable on sale and of high quality. Should have had a gas charge and a extra battery with kit like most electrics since the value is there.

I am a construction worker and have been using different tools of different caliber for 30 years and have a very good understanding of the limits and function of power tools. I have used Hilti,Milwaukee,Ridgid,Panosonic,Ridge,Port-a-cable,Greenlee,Gardner/Bender and Bosch commerial tools for years. Have had disappointments over the years with Sears(never again) Arrow electric staplers( broke after 1 brick of staples) Everything coming from China and Tawain is getting lower in quality and will not handle normal everyday use and have a life span based on times used. Purchase the warranty if you buy cheap or throw it away, or purchase quality and send in for repair if ever needed.

I had this gun for about a week. I returned it. Here are the reasons:



Doesn't always fire when you pull the trigger. Yes, I would fully push the tip against the wood.



Doesn't drive nails all the way. I was using 3 inch ring shanks and 2x PT material.

All in all a disapointment. I have other Bostich guns and they have all served me well, I will continue to buy them. I just don't feel this product is up to the standard that it should be.



The reason I had bought this gun was to do punchlist and small jobs. I will now just bring a small pancake and an air powered gun with me.

I purchased the cordless nailer to compliment my air nailer on a house I am building. I thought it would be convient, and give me an extra nailer when I had help. Unfortunately it wasn't worth the wait it took to receive my order. The nailer arrived in 5 business days, but the fuel cells took 9 business days. I used the nailer for 1-1/2 days before it started to misfire on a frequent basis. I had more misfires on this nailer in 1/2 a day than I've had in 22 years of using air nailers. I expected more from Bostich, I have 7 other Bostich air nailers that I would I highly reccomend, but not the cordless model for serious users. - Framing Nailer - Nailers - Nail Gun - Cordless Nailer'
