Shipping Scale - diet, shipping scale


Perfect scale, gets all my boxes weighed just right! The scale sits just fine on my desk and it even has an auto hold feature: Just place the box on the scale, let it sit for 3 seconds then lift it off - the weight will still display! Great for bigger boxes...Love it! A+ 5 Stars! NEW 55lb DIGITAL POSTAL SHIPPING KITCHEN SCALE + AC ADAPTOR

I've been using this scale for a while now with good results. The things I like about it include the ability to remove the front piece to weigh over-sized objects and that it can handle up to 55 lbs with no problem. It has a relatively small footprint and is extremely easy to use. It also seems to be very accurate. I do wish that the auto shut-off timer were longer as I am forced to turn it back on multiple times during my shipping routine. Battery saving is good in theory but how much energy is wasted when one has to constantly re-boot the machine?



(By the way, this is the same scale as the Weighmax located at listing ID: B001EVS9HA - only with different custom/branded packaging.)

This is an excellent product and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It's not only a postal scale but food scale as well. Both work excellent. Also included with the purchase is an AC Adapter, so many others require you buy this separately.

This was a great buy in terms of a low price for a scale that can handle a lot of weight. However, some quirks that annoy me include:



1) the "hold" feature is nice in that a large box can be placed on the scale, you wait a few seconds, then remove it and the weight stays in the window for a while. However, it stays there way too long and the only way to reset it if you are in a hurry to weigh the next item is to turn the scale off and back on again. There should be a button to say "OK< I'm done now, let's move on", but there's not.



2) The accuracy is quite questionable. I ship out a lot of CDs through USPS, and sometimes the window will say "4.0 ounces" when in reality it may be 4.1 oz. Therefore, either my customer gets dinged with a "postage due" collection, or it comes back to me as postage due. I;ve learned to just round up whenever the window says X.0 ounces, just to be safe.



For the money though, there is value in this - particularly when shipping larger parcels.

I settled on this digital scale after reviewing several on Amazon. Some of the others were too pricey, others had too many dissatisfied customers. This one seemed to have the perfect balance of an affordable cost, a large capacity and few complaints. So far, so good. The memory function is invaluable. The first package I put on it was rather large and weighed almost 20 pounds. When I checked shipping online based upon the weight the scale gave me, it was the exact price I was given at the satellite post office (unfortunately you can't print first class postage at home from the USPS website). I am very satisfied with this purchase. The free AC adapter is a nice bonus - they cost extra with most of the other scales I looked at.

*

This little scale is perfect if you ship a lot of packages and want to save time by doing your postage online at home.



I have checked mine against the high dollar scales at the post office numerous times and it has been dead on accurate every time!

[gave exact same reading]



TIP: When you are weighing a large item that covers the display, remember that the display will "hold" the reading for about a minute AFTER you remove your item.

I bought this for our home post office. It works great and is much cheaper than the one found on the USPS website. Since it weighs items up to 55 pounds, we can also way our infant on the scale by placing him in a laundry basket. Being able to power the scale with a battery or the AC adapter is a plus. The only negative is that the screen can be hard to read. The recessed LCD creates shadows.

I had become tired of using the bathroom scale and/or guessing the weight of packages and then getting charged more than expected when I got to the shipper/USPS. This scale is very affordable, lightweight, compact and looks good, too! It will weigh packages (or anything else) up to 55 lbs. and is very accurate and easy to use. It comes with batteries and an AC adaptor. Now I know what my shipping charges will be before I ship. I am very impressed with the quality and price and highly recommend it to anyone who ships anything. I can't find anything wrong with this scale. It's a great time and stress saver!!

I needed an accurate yet non-budget-breaking postage scale for sending out packages periodically from home. I use PayPal to print out my postage & shipping labels for my boxes and this scale to weigh them. I've gone to the post office to verify it was correct and it is spot on! So I feel confident knowing my postage is correct. I can now print my postage from home and not run to the P.O. especially during the busy holiday season coming up. What a relief! Great features on the scale: easy to read, holds the weight for a generous amount of time after you remove package, compact, lightweight. Love that it comes with it's own AC adapter too! Others will charge you separately for this. Excellent product at an excellent price (just under $30). Don't hesitate to buy. - Diet - Shipping Scale - Weighing Scale - Accurate'

Marine Stereo - am fm radio, cd player


After many years of good service, the JVC cd player I installed in my Harley-Davidson Electra Glide died. I chose this Sony unit as a replacement primarily in the hopes that it would have some additional weatherproofing relative to the JVC. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Sony, although the face of the unit does not appear to be any more weatherproof than a non-marine stereo.



This unit has a 1/8" input on the front to run an iPod or other mp3 player into, and will play a CD loaded with mp3's too. The 1/8" input has a user-adjustable gain setting, which lets you match the Sony to the volume level output by the iPod/mp3 player.



It seems to produce good volume. I can't attest to the sound quality, because there is no such thing as quality sound when the bike is running, given the high ambient noise level from the bike, wind noise, etc. Nonetheless, the sound can be cranked up pretty well without distorting.



One thing that people may be interested in is that this Sony unit plays nice with polarized sunglasses. That is, you can still read the display if you're wearing polarized sunglasses. Many liquid crystal displays (LCD's) are almost impossible to read when wearing polarized sunglasses, so this is a nice feature that was included by Sony. Sony CDXM10 Marine CD Receiver Slot

I bought this to replace the stock marine radio which came with my SunTracker pontoon boat. I would use the FM modulators on my XM radio and iPhone charger to play those through the radio, but the radio station would "drift" and I'd lose signal. I was looking for an inexpensive radio that could lock in the tuner digitally, and everything else was gravy. Well, I got all that and more. Not only do I not get the FM "drift," I can now directly connect those devices through the AUX jack if I want. Installation was a breeze -- I just marked the boat's speaker, power and ground wires and then wired them up according to the instructions. The only thing I did was connect the yellow wire (as well as the red wire) to the ACC instead of the battery line -- I didn't want the unit draining my battery when I wasn't using the boat for extended periods. The time resets every time I turn off the ACC, but I'm OK with that. And it wouldn't work without the yellow wire connected. The unit fit perfectly in the original mounting hole on the boat. Oh, and by the way, it sounds SOOO much better than the original unit through my original speakers - louder, clearer and more "punch" -- even before tweaking the equalization settings. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I have a hot tub which had previously had a Pioneer stereo in it but it never worked.



I initially (naively) replaced it with a standard car stereo and as soon as a little water spilled over the side, the music stopped. That's when I discovered the whole "marine stereo" market. While I saw all kinds of options with iPod controls and bluetooth, I wanted something very basic. This unit fits the bill perfectly. It plays mp3 CDs, too, which is nice because you can fit a lot more music onto them.



The stereo is mounted into one of the outside walls of the hot tub -- paired with the Sony RMX11M wired remote, I can control most of the functions of the stereo from the comfort of the tub.



While the exterior is protected by a splash guard, I was a little worried about the humidity in the compartment under the hot tub -- so far this has not been an issue.



All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.

This was purchased to replaced an older Sony model from 2003. Installation took minutes. Sound quality is excellent, even when using my MP3 player through the auxilary port. And, the price is right!

Stereo and speakers and good for the price. Amazon advertises that you will receive a wireless remote. It doesn't come with one. I wrote the seller and they advised me that amazon made the mistake. Don't know who to believe!! Good luck. - Am Fm Radio - Cd Player - Mp3 Player'

Flooring Stapler


I installed 800+ feet of 3/8 engineered oak hardwood flooring using over 8000 staples, and the stapler worked perfectly. There were no miss-fires, and the stapler would not shoot a staple if I didn't have it lined up correctly - which is a huge plus, because I've used others in the past that would put a staple in the surface of the floor if you didn't have it placed on the tongue properly. Even if you're only going to install a few hundred square feet of flooring, this is worth buying because it costs about the same as renting a unit for 3 days, and it's brand new and not abused like most rental units are.



Also a HUGE plus with this stapler is that it uses 1/4" staples instead of the 3/16" staples that Bostich and the cheaper Bynford stapler use - and that will save you the cost of the unit on a larger project. I got 5,000 1/4" staples from amazon.com for $8.50 per box with no tax and free shipping. The local H**e D*p*t wanted $25.00 for 5,000 for the 3/16" staples. I used 3 boxes and that saved me over $50.00 alone.



Another PLUS is the ability to use multiple size staples, and not just 1" staples... and of course it can also be used as a brad nailer to install the shoe molding after you're done with the flooring... yet another cost savings... I haven't used it as a brad nailer yet since I already own a Bostich brad nailer.



This stapler has already made me much more money than I paid for it and the quality seems good, especially for the price. The only con I can think of is the instruction manual is very poor, and if your not very mechanically inclined, of haven't used a flooring stapler before, it's not real clear how to adjust the stapler for the flooring size. Once I got the stapler adjusted for my particular floor thickness - it worked perfect and lined up great and I was able to shoot staples as fast as I could move along the floor board.



Last thing - Bob at Woodworker Specialties was great in replying to my emails and questions. I would definitely purchase from them again even if they're price were higher (which they are not - they're lower). And fulfillment by amazon was another plus for me since I'm an amazon.com Prime member and got free 2 day shipping.



Buy this item with confidence - any issues will be resolved by amazon.com and Woodworker Specialties with just one email - so it's a no brainer in my mind BYNFORD HARDWOOD FLOORING STAPLER NAILER (Uses standard narrow crown staples such as Senco "L" etc)

Bynford Air Stapler made my job of installing Engineered Hard Wood Flooring in my home so much easier, did it in half the time compare to a regular Air Stapler. I tried using a regular Air Staple to save $$ prior to purchasing the Bynford Stapler, what a mistake that was. I would recommend this stapler to anyone installing Engineered Hard Wood Flooring. Great saving on the Bynford Brand agaist others.

I purchased 5/16" hardwood flooring and a manual "banger" nailer ($200, used) that was supposed to work even for this thin wood. It nailed the face, not the edge. I wish I bought this stapler first. Works great, easy to use, and when converted to the face nailer its works great as a woodwork nailer. At this price, even with a compressor it was much cheaper than any manual floor nailer. Only 2 shortcomings: 1) it's rated to take up to 1 1/2 inch nails, but the clip won't close with longer ones. And 2) changing from the 45 degree floor stapler to the straight brad nailer is too cumbersome to regularly switch back and forth. Overall I love the tool. I thought I'd sell the compressor and this after the floor project was done but it's a keeper.

I am almost done with 700 sq ft of 1/2" engineered flooring using 1 1/4" crown staples. It get's the job done, with my pancake compressor set at 90 psi. It is a little hard getting the staples into the gun, but have not had too many problems. Good for 1 or 2 jobs, but not a tool for regular use.

I purchased this stapler for one-time use to install oak manufactured hardwood flooring in a 12' x 20' family room. It performed perfectly and never misfired or jammed while stapling 3" wide flooring every 4 inches (around 3000 Senco staples.) The included tack head worked fine for the last 2 rows. It's not clear, long term, what oil to use; The instructions say 30 weight, the included oil was much lighter - I used the included oil.



FYI: When changing heads the instructions say to remove an "O-ring". The "O-ring" is tiny (perhaps 1/8 inch in diameter) and is used to secure a pin where you would expect to find a nut.



Overall, the instructions are sketchy, but it did the job.

I have to confirm the other reviews here. My son and I just installed 360 S.F. of 3/8" engineered wood with this stapler, without a single jam or misfire. I set up the base plate and penetration according to the manual, and my first two test staples were perfect using my 2 Gal. portable compressor. I also bought the 1" Senco staples 5000 pack, which was the right choice, since my local stores only seem to have Bostich staples, which are not recommended for this tool.

I can not say enough nice things about this product. The value is off the charts and beyond that it truly is a quality product. I used it to install 500 square feet of 3/8 thick Brazillian Walnut from Lumber Liquidators. It is not engineered ,but literally solid hardwood. This is the product you want for install.

I ordered the Bynford hardwood floor stapler to use for installing a bamboo floor up stairs. The directions needed a little more information but once you hook it to the air compressor and play with it a bit, you figure it out. It is light weight and easy to use. My husband and I loved using this product. It made the project much quicker. It saved us alot of money because we did not have to rent one. We could install the floor as quickly or slowly as we wanted without worring about a huge rental fee.'

Blackberry Bold 9700 Dock - blackberry charger, blackberry


If you have a Bold 9700, you need to purchase the charging pods. Simply plug the USB power adapter into the back of the dock and the LED light will indicate that it is ready to charge your Bold. All you need to do is drop your Blackberry into the pod and it'll charge your phone. I recommend doing this so you don't possibly damage your USB port in your phone with the constant insertion and removal of the USB cord. Rim 9700 Charging Pod

I had read a review of the "OEM Shop" before I bought this charger and several people received the wrong item but, like an idiot, I still ordered from these geniuses and received the wrong item, I requested a return but was told I'm responsible for return shipping. Do not buy from these guys because there's a good possibility you'll not only get the wrong item but you will have to pay to ship it back as well.

This is a great little thing.

Sit it anywhere and plug any of the USB cables into it - either wall charger or PC cable.

It has a small blue glow lamp immediately - easy to find in the dark. Nice

then you just sit your BB in it and it charges.

The good part is that when the BB is connedted you can set the BB to stay lit up, with a clock display.

I love it when travelling, can rely on my BB more than the Hotel clock.

I travel and use my Blackberry as an alarm clock. This charger is very handy and allows my phone to sit upright which puts it in to clock mode. (A very neat feature.) This allows me to see the time in the middle of the night or when the alarm goes off. No more trying to locate the phone in an unfamiliar darkened room.

I never had a charging pod before, nor did I ever think about using one. This pod is slick, it is small, it looks nice (not cheap). It has a rubber non slip bottom and just enough weight to it. It has a glowing led (not bright)on it so you can see it to put your phone in it in the dark. I keep mine in the head board of my bed, which is the perfect place for it. If you set your Blackberry to go into bedside mode when charging all you do is put it in the pod and you've got a nice night time clock, and of course your phone is right there if you need it.

I am very pleased with this product. I keep it by my bed and when the phone is in it and in bedside mode, it looks just like a regular alarm clock. Also, I use my phone several times during the night each night for my work. With the charger in place, I do not have to insert the micro-USB cable into the appropriate place in the device after each use. The charger is backlit and it is easy to find the dock after each use.

I didn't know there was such a thing as a "charging pod" for a BB. I would have used such an item when I first started w. BB phones.

I ordered 3. (One for my partner, one for me to use at office, one on my nite stand. This product is well made and works perfectly. Also saves wear and tear on the micro usb port. The price was outstanding and shipping was free.

Bluetooth Gps - nuvi 1390t, bluetooth gps


I have this unit for 10 days now and overall I am very happy with it. For its mainstream feature, navigation, it is excellent. I had a Garmin 350 before this which I loved but it was stolen from my car. I had a Magellan after that which was crap. The price on this unit was great ($247 - Amazon).



I chose it over the 1390T because I opted to not get bluetooth. It is the only difference between the units. I felt the bluetooth quality would be poor based on other reviews of bluetooth in general on GPS units. The main reason was in the way most people use bluetooth. In a typical day I am in and out of my car often. I always need my bluetooth immediately in case I get a call. I don't always need my GPS. And since my previous unit was stolen, and theft of these units is a big problem everywhere, I keep the unit hidden or sometimes remove it from the car. So if you are like me but you get this unit for bluetooth, you will need to stop and mount your gps everytime you get in the car whether you need it or not, just to have blue tooth capability. If you forget and the cell phone rings, you have no bluetooth. So I purchased a separate bluetooth speaker phone from Jabra (very good unit# which is always attached to my visor, pretty good quality, and always there when I need it. I saved about $75 by opting for the 1350T over the 1390T.



A few minor disappointments. The Lane Assist feature works great but is not available everywhere. I used it around NYC and it was helpful. I drove through Pennsylvania and upstate NY and it was not available. Marketing material hypes this feature but they neglect to tell you this one point. But when it is available, it is a great feature. That brings me to traffic. Same story here. I was driving through PA and hit a 1 hour traffic jam. No warnings from the traffic feature because it was not available in that area. When I got to the Scranton, PA area the traffic alerts started working. It alerted me of a major traffic jam ahead and it even rerouted my trip automatically. The reroute would have been a significant addition in miles but would be worth it to avoid the traffic, right? I decided to ignore the re-route just to test the unit to see if the alert was accurate and I was willing to endure the traffic. As I drove my original route, no traffic anywhere. So had I listened to the traffic alert, I would have driven 50 miles out of my way for nothing. Bottom line is, don't let the traffic feature be a deal breaker for the unit you choose. But then again, I got the 1350T for about the same price as the 1350 #same unit without traffic). Updating the map was more difficult than it should have been. I consider myself a very technical person with computers and gadgets but the map update did not go smoothly and took me several tries. I could see where many people will have difficulty with this if they attempt to update the map. Garmin nüvi 1390LMT 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates

I've used this GPS for several weeks now and when it is fully charged it is absolutely great. The voice is loud and clear, the maps are accurate and detailed. It acquires satellites quickly, even in less than optimal circumstances with trees overhead or tall buildings nearby. It is easy to program and the onscreen menus are convenient. It is thin and reasonably light and portable and the screen is big. But it has one major problem: the cigarette-lighter charging system does not supply enough current to charge the GPS while it is turned on. It is unbelievable that Garmin would allow their unit to be sold under these conditions.



When I received the unit I completely charged the battery (by connecting it to my computer using a USB cable which Garmin does not supply, but I happened to have one anyway). Then I used it in my car, always plugged into the cigarette lighter. It turns on automatically whenever you start the car, and it turns off automatically when the ignition switch is turned off. However, over this two week period the battery slowly discharged (without my knowledge) until it reached a point where the unit would no longer turn on, even when plugged in to the car charger. Assuming the unit was defective, I called Garmin and (after 20 minutes on hold) learned that the car charger is not up to the task, and that the GPS will slowly lose its charge when it is turned on, even if you have it connected to the cigarette lighter adapter. I believe this means that if you have a long drive, perhaps 8 hours or more, then the unit may not even remain operational throughout the full trip. Other people have made similar complaints about some of the other Garmin GPS units.



The tech support people explained how to recover from the low battery situation: you do a "soft reset" which simply involves holding down the on/off button for 10 seconds. Then the unit will turn on, but the battery will need recharging. I was told to do this by connecting it to my computer using a USB cable, which Garmin does not supply with the GPS (fortunately I already had one), but I assume you could do the same by connecting it to the car charger and making certain that the unit is turned off while it is charging.



What a shame that Garmin has produced a superior product with a fatal defect. I will keep mine for now, but I'm going to investigate other charging solutions. Perhaps after reading this review, the wizards at Garmin will redesign the charging system for this GPS.



Update (Aug 1/09): I discovered the reason for these charging issues: In the User's Manual, under "Troubleshooting", Garmin states that the Nuvi will not charge if it is in direct sunlight or if the temperature is more than 113 degrees F (45 deg C). Since I had my unit attached to the windshield, and since I only drive during midday, it is always in sunlight. This charging rule applies to many other models as well; for any given model you can download the manual from Garmin, turn to the Troubleshooting section, and see whether or not they describe a similar charging rule. (The rule is meant to avoid overheating the battery: lithium batteries can occasionally catch fire if they are severely overcharged or overheated.) I think this explains why some people have encountered charging problems and others have not: it depends on whether or not the unit is always in direct sunlight while you are driving. Some people use the friction mount and their Garmin sits on the console. Others drive later in the day or at night. - Bluetooth Gps - Nuvi 1390t - Garmin - Portable Vehicle Gps'

Monster Cables - ipod, wireless


If you are completely helpless with audio, this may be an option. But using "Monster Cable" to play MP3s (or most consumer audio, for that matter) is a bad choice. Very few people could -measure- the advantages of "Monster" cable, let alone hear it.



Standard audio cables these days are plenty good enough for nearly everyone -- unless you're a top-of-the-line studio -- at 1/4 of the price. Gold plated -- if you want something that makes some sense -- helps avoid noise from corrosion.



(How do I know? 45 years of experience with electronics and audio, a couple licenses and a degree) Apple Airport Express Stereo Connection Kit w/Monster Cables

I was very disappointed when I received this to see that it was simply a package of two cables. Cables that you can pick up at Radio Shack for MUCH cheaper. Just ridiculous. The Airport Express itself is fantastic, but skip this accessory and go to your local Radio Shack for the mini-RCA cable, and a quick search online for the optical to mini.

Normally, I would never have bought this. However, I recently moved things around in my office and noticed that the AirPort Express input on my receiver was getting some interference in the right speaker (other inputs were not, however). I had been using a $5 Radio Shack 1/8"-to-dual RCA plugs cable.



Rather than debug the interference, I decided to buy an optical cable. It's convenient that Apple makes this kit--no stress over whether I had bought the right cable.



I'm using the optical cable to connect the AirPort Express to the receiver; the interference is gone--mission accomplished. The power extension cable is useful not only for the AirPort Express but also for the power bricks Apple ships with the iBook and PowerBooks--which is how I intend to use it (keeping it in my laptop bag so I have less cable churn when I travel).



I agree the kit is expensive, but it's also convenient. For those with the money, the kit is perfect... and the white cables match the AirPort (whereas black Radio Shack cables do not).

The discussion below relates only to audio, not to connecting a printer, and working with a router cum wireless access port.



Pro:

1. This really works, and works well, from my PC computers.



2. The control over what music is played, volume, etc. resides in your computer, not in the computer and the Airport. This can make life simpler, much simpler, especially if anything does go wrong.



Cons:

1. Pricey, especially when you factor in the cable kit which you are going to need if you want to run sound from the Airport into your sound system via a digital (optical) cable (this requires a proprietary cable), or will probably want if you don't want to (1) scrounge for your own cables, or (2) plug directly into a wall outlet and run stereo (L and R only) into your amplifier.



2. They don't tell you this in the manual, but you'll be better off assigning the Airport(s) to static IP addresses, and selecting improved robustness against interference.

I have two Wireless airports and this works great for both.

You get the Digital mini to Tos link cable,

The same in an analog mini to a left right RCA jacks.

and an extention cord for an airport or any of the standard Apple power supplies.



I agree most of these Monster accesories are overpriced. However, if your were to buy the three branded cables mentioned above seperately, you would have to add an additional 30%. Also, it you go with a cheep Tos link digital cable, expect to replace it within two years, the digital Monster cable alone is worth the $23 you spend vs the Radio Shack version.

I'm not sure how "battery life" applies to a set of cables.. but it's in the "attributes" list.



This is a power cord and set of cables. The cord replaces the wall-wart style OEM plug. The other cables allow you to plug the Airport into your stereo, into either RCA jacks or a TOSLink (laser ooptic cable thingy). I'm using the TOSLink (less cables to mess with).



It's nice to be able to move the appliance off of the wall, and the other cables are handy for connecting to your stereo. I have no complaints at all.

This product is for people who really care about their home theatre, it's not really for people who just want a way to connect this to their stereo. Although the power cord that comes with it is pretty handy since it's basically an extension cord that allows you plug the airport express in and place the actual unit away from the plug. If all you care about is just connecting it to your stereo then just use the RCA cables that come with it. If you are really into your home theatre I would say these cables are a definite must for connecting the airport express to it - Apple - Ipod - Airport - Wireless'

Best Dog Toy - dogs, ball


My 6 month old puppy loved this ball! He's a blue heeler, collie, terrier mutt - 30 pounds. He carried the ball everywhere and loved making it squeak. The squeak wasn't annoying either, thankfully. However, after about a 1.5 weeks the air hole where the squeaker was exposed started to split and tear away. By the end of the 2nd week we had to throw the ball away as the pup had started to eat the rubber in chunks. We replaced it with another 3" red ball, solid, made by another company and it's been going strong for over a month now. JW Pet Company iSqueak Ball Rubber Dog Toy, Medium, Colors Vary

I tried to teach my dog to play fetch with tennis balls. She would go get the ball, but then just pick it up and drop it right away. Someone at the dog park had this ball, and my dog LOVED it! She will run and get it, then bring it back and drop it for me to throw again. (Since she would never do this with a tennis ball, I think she does not like the feel of the fuzz in her mouth.) Besides fetch, she likes to run around the park with it in her mouth, squeaking it the whole time and taunting the other dogs with her prize. We play with it at home too - she just loves it! The ball is thick yet soft and easy to "squeak". It's durable as long as you don't have a "destroyer" type dog that will chew up anything.

From all of the good reviews I thought that I would be happy with this toy. It was great for about half an hour until my dog bit into the squeaker and almost ate it! He really enjoyed it though, up until that moment. I really wish it had lasted longer since I thought it was a fun toy for my dog. He was even playing soccer with the ball! I would recommend this toy for those owners that have dogs that are not heavy chewers.

My dog loves these balls! The can take a chewing and keep on squeaking. My German Shepherd Dog chews through other balls like nothing but these balls stand up to all her chewing. She prefers the large size but does also enjoy the medium size ones.

object looks like picture and squeeks. However, its noy durable. My dog destroyed it within 5 minutes. I have a yellow lab and was hoping this product would last. Might be a great purchase for a young puppy with a weak jaw.

Lola is a 2 1/2 yrs old black Lab mix that loves to play with her toys but.....she always destroys them within 5 mins. I have purchased multiple toys that were labeled for agressive chewers etc and she still destroyed them in 5 mins or less. I am pleased to say that this toy is different. Lola has had this ball now for about 2 weeks and it is still going strong. When I come in at night from work the first thing she does is gets her ball out ready to play! I am ordering another one to keep in the car for when we travel. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this ball! - Dogs - Ball - Dog Toy - Dog Toys'
