Air Nailers

I'm not afraid to spend money on a good tool if it helps me do a better job, saves me time, and saves be from a sore arm at the end of the week from pounding thousands of nails. This nail gun is easily one of the more expensive in my garage. While finishing, framing, coil-siding, & coil-roofing nailers seemed to be a given I hesitated on buying a cap nailer thinking I wouldn't mind pounding a few caps in by hand. I found a good deal on a used 1st generation Hitachi Plasti-Cap NV50AP nailer and never regretted it!!! I have to say the balance of the 1st & 2d generation tools are awkward. You have to fight the cap magazine to keep the tool level on your surface. It looks like the cap magazine was added to the side of an existing tool design which throws the balance off. The tool wants to roll over on its side while it's in your hand. I recently purchased one of the 3rd generation NV50AP3 nailers and this is definitely the tool to buy. It weighs significantly less and the nail and cap magazines are better designed to minimize the overall profile of the gun while maintaining almost perfect balance. I have put several thousand cap nails through both of these guns and my comment on jams and mis-feeds is simple... take care not to damage or bend your nails and cap rolls and you shouldn't have any problems. I have only used the Hitachi brand caps/nails and can't comment on the generic brands out there. If you have a coil of nails that looks like someone stepped on it or tossed in the tool trailer under a pile of who knows what you're going to have problems. Anyone with coil nails should know this but I've seen some people who just don't understand why they have so many mis-feeds and blame the gun. Even if you only think you will use this tool one time BUY IT and sell it off when you're finished. You'll save lots of time, have a much easier time nailing down that felt or house wrap in the wind (been there) and your arm won't hate you. Hitachi NV50AP3 1-1/4-Inch to 2-Inch Cap Nailer

I can't imagine what kind of problems the other gentleman had but my experience with this nailer is great. I have done a lot of nailing with this machine and it does a great job. You can't compare with hand nailing because you can't do the same kind of job by hand much less as fast. I have another contractor associate that has used mine with great success. Either I just got an especially good unit or maybe the other gentleman got a bad one. Also there are a lot of tools that require a little bit of skill to get the proper use out of them.

Bought this gun and four boxes of nails/caps for my roofing crew, ended up being the biggest piece of junk I have ever had the privilege to use. I adjusted psi. the way I was holding the gun, single fire/multi fire, and various other things but the gun would constantly blow through caps or feed out anywhere from 2 to a dozen caps at a time, very rarely did it work. I even traded it in for an identical one and it did the same thing. Ended up waiting for the shipment of Bostitch cap nailers to come in and switched over. For half the price and after about 5000 caps only a handful of jams, the Bostitch is by far the better gun for your money. The downfall for the Hitachi is the roll cap feed design, Bostitch got it right with its tube cap feed design.

Purchased this item as a gift for my son. Never operated properly. Misfires nails thru cap and caps won't feed properly. After the "Hitachi Brand" nails and caps didn't work, he even bought a box of off brand to try, but had the same experience. Brand new gun has never fired a nail in a roof. The hours he wasted trying this product, he could of hand nailed the whole job.

After that Amazon wouldn't let me return it because I bought it as a gift and didn't give it to my son for over a month. Amazon said I was past the return period. Thanks Amazon-A quality company. We won't be purchasing another item from Amazon. Never had a problem returning an item that did't work at any other company. They were always glad to assist me. Thanks again Amazon.'

This is lightweight, warm, breathable--perfect for running outdoors on a cold winter day. You can easily pull this over your mouth or even your nose depending on the wind, temperature, etc. I live in the Northeast, and when it's really cold (below 15 degrees) I pull this over my mouth and breath through my mouth instead of my nose so I have warmer air coming in. It works great, and I don't feel the cold as much.



For everyday use it is a good way to keep out drafts on a cold winter day. The fabric is very soft to the touch and will not irritate your skin. It really is plush fleece.



I have used lots of neckwarmers and really like this one.



Update January 5, 2011: In single digit weather, instead of putting on the neckwarmer first, and then putting on my running jacket, I now put the jacket on first and the neckwarmer over the collar of the jacket. This more effectively seals in my body heat and stops drafts. Seirus Innovation Polar Plush Neck-Up,Black,Adult

There's nothing more uncomfortable than riding motorcycles on a cold day and having your neck exposed. Freezing chin and neck are just darned irritating.



I've tried those neoprene face shields, and although they keep the cold out, the feeling of snot and saliva mixing in them after awhile is just a little yukky. The plush neck-up allows me to cover just my neck, a portion of my chin, or pull it up to cover my nose and everything below.



The soft plush feels good, and dries very quickly. It packs small enough to stuff in a quart ziplock bag, so these just get stuffed in a side pocket on my tank bag and forgotten until they're needed. A perfect solution to a chilling question!

Bought these for the kids and they love them. Perfect for keeping snow off our little sledders necks. warm, perfect size to pull over the nose and mouth on really cold days. Works for our kids and adults, so the size is not an issue at all.

A nice cheap gaiter that is decent quality. It will keep your neck warm... I got mine for riding my motorcycle on chilly days, and it serves the purpose. It's maybe a bit shorter than I would like... would prefer a bit more coverage. But it's adequate and a good deal for the sub- $5.00 price.

Bought these for a Colorado trip and they came fast and worked well! Just fine thickness for 0 degrees. If colder than that there are other full face coverings. These worked fine for the temps we had on our trip and at this price I bought a few! - Neck Warmers - Thermal Underwear'

Easy Spirit Walking Shoes - flat, easy spirit walking shoes

Visit Store Now !!

This is the 3rd pair of Easy Spirit Walkers I've owned...and have worn out the first two! The new ones carried me happily all over Boston on a recent vacation and not a single complaint! These are the most attractive walking shoes I've seen or worn: not clunky or funky looking like everyone's favorite sport shoes! They are durable, provide good arch and overall foot support. They also hold up well in the rain!!! I will continue to wear these shoes until they fall right off my feet! You won't regret this purchase, so take a chance! Easy Spirit Women's Motion Sport Lace-Up,Wheatfield Leather,8.5 M

Easy Spirit's Motion Sport Lace Up shoes:

1. Provide all day comfortable (sometimes you forget you have them on).

2. Come in great colors.

3. May resemble 'old lady' shoes (not meaning to be offensive). Yet they match just about anything you wear (casual or business).

4. Last a very, very long time. I am still wearing several pairs I bought five-six years ago and haven't had a problem yet.

5. Come in a large variety of sizes.

What a pleasure to walk all day in a stylish flat that also offers cushioning and good support and not have to wear clunky running shoes with skirts. I broke several bones in my right foot four years ago and can't wear heels. I also have narrow feet. Well, this is the first shoe I've been able to wear all day and still feel stylish without breaking the bank. I bought them in every color, including metallic silver and gold! A shoe for all seasons:)

I have a difficult time finding shoes that will work for me. Most stores do not carry fashionable women's shoes in wide widths. I am enjoying this pair of Easy Spirit Shoes in the color red. I would purchase these again without hesitation.

After reading multiple reviews that the wide is really not wide enough, I figured I would order a wide. I generally do not have a problem with regular shoes, although some feel slightly too narrow. I measured my foot which seemed to be between an M and a C/D, so I went with the wide since apparently it was not wide enough for most people. Unfortunately, the shoe is wayy to wide for me. I am generally between an 8 and an 8.5 and I went with the 8, which fits fine length wise.



I got the wheatfield leather. I am a student and I walk at least a mile a day and live a generally active life, and I needed real shoes for my weak feet and ankles! I was hoping to wear them day-today and mostly at my restaurant, which has no dress code. I have been wearing slip on vans with 0 arch support. At the end of each 7-8 hour shift, my feet and legs ache and after I sit for a while after a shift, I end up hobbling around until my feet readjust to walking. These shoes seem like they'll help with much better support. I was hoping they would look even better than they do, but they look more like old lady shoes than I anticipated (I am 22, so perhaps I define old lady differently!). The top of the shoe ends pretty far down my foot, which means if I wear skinny jeans my socks will definitely show. I suppose this means I should start wearing matching socks.



But I still think its worth it to return them for an M.

I ordered this shoe directly from the Easy Spirit site. I ordered a medium width, and that is the marking the shoe is showing, but it is much too narrow for my foot, making it very uncomfortable. I made the mistake of not returning them, thinking that I could wear them and stretch them out: That didn't work. Guess I'll spend the money to take them to a shoe-shop to have them professionally stretched.

Be aware that this shoe--in a WIDE- is not really WIDE ENOUGH to be called a Wide. The shoe runs narrow. However,it does come in an Extra Wide. Although the shoe has little to no arch support,it is, nevertheless a "dressy" alternative to gym shoes if you have problem feet.

I have worn Easy Sirit shoes and they had a perfect fit. This time, the same size, 6M did not fit, they were too tight.

When I ordered my shoes, I looked inside my old shoes to find the size, I ordered the same size and was really dissapointed when they arrived.

They looked beautiful, just what I was looking for, but not a good fit. - Comfortable Shoes - Flat - Easy Spirit Walking Shoes - Oxford'

Reusable Swim Diaper - imse vimse, reusable swim diaper

Visit Store Now !!

I love this diaper. I have tried the disposables and they are ok, you have to rip them to get them off in the event of an accident and then use a new one afterwards. This is great because you can rinse it off, wash it with a little soap in the bathroom in event of an accident and then put it right back on and head back in the water. It fits great and I love that it is adjustable so we can wear it longer. That is always a plus when I buy products - I ask myself "how much use will I be able to get out of this before she outgrows it or it wears out". A very convenient swim diaper and cute too! I had one of the wee waves pull on swim diapers prior to this and thank goodness my daughter didn't have any accidents in it because it would have been a HUGE mess to get off of her and clean up without the snaps for easy removal. This diaper is also WAY thinner and less bulky than the wee waves one or others I have looked at. And it has that elastic around the legs that will keep in solids so it works just as well if not better. The other swim diaper I had for her left imprints around her legs because it was so tight to keep everything in, but this one doesn't leave any marks and seems much more comfortable. Mother-Ease Swim Diaper (Large, Summer Storm)

I was a bit uneasy about trying these, but was tired of the price of disposable swim diapers. The first time wearing it in the pool my one year old decided to truly test their ability to hold and they did not leak. I highly recommend them.

This is the second Mother-ease swim diaper we have bought. We had to get a larger size as our son has outgrown the first one. The first swim diaper was great! Our son took 3 swim classes and we never had an accident. With that said, these diapers are not meant to catch pee, and so we did still get peed on a couple of times, but we never had a pooh problem. And what was great is that the swim diaper grew with our son. The snaps adjust as your child gets bigger. The snaps are also very easy to snap off when you are done with the pool. We were also happy with the shipping as we ordered this on a Monday (before Memorial Day) and received it on Thursday (also before Memorial Day). We will try this out at our pool Memorial Day weekend! If there are problems we'll be happy to update, but for now we are very satisfied customers!

This is a great adjustable swim diaper. The material is lightweight, & silky feeling; not stiff. The snaps allow you to adjust the size on the diaper as well. (2 snaps each side of the top along the waistband, 3 snaps on each side along the bottom), so you can truly customize the fit. Overall, great purchase. - Reusable Swim Diaper - Cloth Diapers - Pool Diaper - Imse Vimse'

Ipod Touch 4g Case - bundle, ipod accessories

Visit Store Now !!

I purchased this bundle package and an item was missing from the package. (USB Plug Extension) Also, the AC car adapter did not work with my ipod as advertised. The quality of the products are very cheap and to my opinion not even worth the cheap price that the bundle sales for. Ok. I said no big deal you get what you pay for and I was willing to take the lost. However, after leaving feed back that an item was defective and one was missing, the saler (DigitalsOnDemand) tried to resolve the matter by offering a refund and to ship the product that was missing providing that I remove the negative feed back. Well guess what? I removed the feed back and they didnt live up to their end of the bargan. Its been weeks and still no reshipment of the item promised and no refund.



Dont waste your time with this company they will only let you down in the end!



DigitalsOnDemand 15-Item Accessory Bundle for New Apple iPod Touch iTouch 4G 4th Gen Generation 8GB 32GB 64GB DigitalsOnDemand 15-Item Accessory Bundle for New Apple iPod Touch iTouch 4G 4th Gen Generation 8GB 32GB 64GB

it's all good stuff for the price. different cases (clear, black, etc) some apple cables (with a typo on the power plug -- might be cast-offs from product assurance that still meet usable specs) -- sure beats paying 30 - 40 dollars for just that charger at target / best buy / the mac store! and the cases that are 20 - 40 at those same stores, you get those with this too. i didn't need the aux cable or the splitter or the headphones, but everything else is great. i didn't have any problems with my retractable or the power charger or car charger like one of the other reviews had. i was really glad to find this whole bundle for that cost too, since i had just bought a 15 dollar car charger at the office supply store a week before (unopened, so returned).

One of the charging cables didn't work. The retractable cable didn't retract. The protective screen cleaner left lint on the glass screen. On the other hand, if you're a n00b who doesn't know what to really get for an iTouch *and* you can't find an accessory assortment for a cheaper price, start here. The assortment has the basics, and even comes with four very different slips / cases for your iTouch, so you can find out which style's the best for you. I think what I liked best about this product is that I didn't have to waste all that (bleeping) time clicking and shopping and browsing for four or five different iTouch accessories. I'd rather spend time on my iTouch, than shop for accessories for it.

I read the reviews of this product after I ordered it. If I had read it first, I would have never ordered anything from these people. I was hoping that it was just a coincidence that these people had defective items and was hoping that I would actually get something that was brand new and worked. NOTHING WORKED THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO WORK just like the people who wrote negative reviews. I have since filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau and I am demanding a refund and new equipment that works and it brand new like advertised. That was a lie that we what received was new. The better business bureau says that I definitely have a claim and i don't care if I have to pay a ton of money, so be it. These people need to be shut down. There are pathetic.DigitalsOnDemand 15-Item Accessory Bundle for New Apple iPod Touch iTouch 4G 4th Gen Generation 8GB 32GB 64GB

i have this 15 items for a month, and everything are still in good condition. i love the crystal case its not hard, but its not soft, its like a hard rubber so its unbreakable, i like the lcd protector its easy to use and it is reusable, coz i tried to remove and wash it still the same and sticky, so if it has bubbles or some dirt just wash it and air dry. all electronic gadgets is working especially the chargers. leather case is of course synthetic, and decent enough. I RECOMMEND THIS TO YOU !!! but i purchased this for only $29.99 only, now they have increase a lot... :(

I bought this item for myself mainly for the car/wall charger. I got the item yesterday and was instantly happy with the purchase. The only thing in the bundle im worried about is the flip case. Reason is it has magnets that hold the flip part down and im afriad if an ipod is in the case for to long it might erase the hard drive.



Buy this bundle!

Having bought a similar kit for the previous generation iPod, I thought I knew what to expect. I am really impressed with this kit though. The headphones actually have good bass response, not to mention have the mic too, meaning I actually have a decent pair of headphones in case something happens to the originals that came with the ipod.



The "pleather" case fits snug, and the clip allows for easy access (which is nice for those spur of the moment quick photos you might want to take). The cases are great compared to some of the more expensive brands available at large department stores.



Must say, this was well worth the money to me. Good buy.

This is pure rubbish. The screen protector would not go on without bubbles and gaps (this is my 4th. iPod Touch by the way so experienced with this), the flip top jacket is made of plastic and worthless and the rest of the little plastic backings are junk. Item was missing the double jack connection but I have them from prior items. All in all, this is worthless and Amazon should take it off their site. I am sending it back and really don't care if I get a credit or a refund, I just think they should see how cheap and worthless this item is. I have since ordered a nice leather carrier for my new iPod 4 and had to go buy the screen protectors from a local shop.

This is a very nice kit for the price, I love the clear case as it shows the shiny back of the Ipod Touch without the Ipod Getting all scratched up. Some of the componets fee a bit cheap but for the price it's worth it. The clear case I can't stop raving about it as I love it and it is not cheaply made. The audio cables are gold plated and was very surprised to see that. Silicon Cases are nice however they do smell of Chinese rubber and had to be left out of the package for a week before the smell was gone. The only thing I have to complain about is the headphone fish because it is so small that you can't roll things up and I don't know why you would anyway. But for sure this is a MUST have for a new Ipod. - Ipod Accessories - Bundle - Screen Protector - Case'

I bought this thing because I wanted something easy to put together, cheap, and where I can use it while watching TV. This has been perfect for that! It's been 2 months, and I've had many days where I'll take this little thing out, turn on the TV, and just go. When I'm done 30 minutes later, I'll put it away in my closet easily. I've even added some 5 lbs. dumbbells for assistance.



I will totally acknowledge that...

...if you're looking for a vigorous workout, this won't do it.

...if you're looking for all-inclusive sports equipment, this isn't it.

...if you're looking for something that'll count your calories or time for you, this won't do it. (It comes with a timer, but it's nothing special.)

...if you're looking for something to replace your daily workout, this isn't it.



However, if you're looking for a cheap option that will complement your regular exercise routine while sitting, this is a great option. Stamina 15-0120 InStride Cycle XL

You can use this thing for about 30 minutes before it gets too hot and starts to squeak horribly. You can tell it's from overheating because the pedal arms get too hot to touch! We have two of them bought from amazon and we took them apart to see if we could lubricate the mechanism (not easy to do) but with wd40 and lithium grease it still squeaks like you're strangling a goose. The manufacturer has a laughable return policy requiring original packaging, packing slips, paid shipping and mandatory insurance which makes it not worth it to try to return and therefore not worth buying if you are worried about the noise. OTHER than all that, it works fine.

One day I decided to stop sitting slovenly at my desk getting fatter by the day and actually do something about my health. After two months of pretending I might go to the gym, then not, I ordered this little cycle.



First off, let me say that I use it on a very low-pile carpeted floor and, as sent from the factory, it perpetually slipped. I fixed this with some superglue to the footcaps and haven't had that issue since.



Second, like others, I found that after 5 or 10 minutes of use it would overheat and squeel loudly. A trip to my local hobby store netted a bottle of liquid graphite (the same stuff used to lube the wheels on pinebox cars), and again the issue was resolved.



So, after conquering the (I can only assume deliberate?) design challenges by the manufacturer, I've been using this little guy for several months with great results. Of course it's a terrible substitute for a real workout, and yes I will probably go to hell for implying otherwise, but for people like me who will only really choose between "do little" or "do nothing", this is a great little something to do.

As I suffer from a neurological disease that affects my motor function, I am not able to do much in the way of exercise. For this reason, I ordered this product. I find it quite useful. Although I know that I am not burning nearly as many calories per unit of time as I would on our elliptical machine, I am moving! I have not experienced much noise with my unit as some others have complained and am easily able to have a conversation or watch T.V. while I am cycling. I have noted that this product is easiest to use at a slight angle or semi-reclining position i.e. it is not easy to do while sitting upright at a computer, but easier while lounging back in an easy chair or on a couch. Overall, I am glad that I purchased this product. I have read that Mayo Clinic studies have shown that this type of mild exercise done frequently is even more effective than strenuous exercise done in small amounts.

Low impact, but will make the burn if you work it. I use it during the summer time when I can't get outside due to the heat. You can sit on the edge of a bed or chair and peddle away in an air conditioned room. Doesn't take up a lot of room to use. It takes a moment to get use to the foot and peddle action, you are not pressing down like on a bike but forward. Great for elderly or someone who is just starting out their routines. You do not need to stand up to use the product. Therefore, not alot of pressure on your knees. Very sturdy, even if you are over 300 lbs, since you are not standing on the machine it will work for you. Can be used under a desk at work, make a little noise. Works on the legs and moves the blood, great for the numb butt. It does not take up much room for storage, about 2'x 2'space. Easy to put together. Not what I recommend for traveling, it is alittle heavy. But a wonderful work out machine to use while listening to your Ipod !!

Stamina 15-0120 InStride Cycle XL I am a senior with compromised leg muscles due to old polio. I hoped this device would provide a simple way to limber up my legs in the morning. However, I discovered that it has a pedal radius of 4". Normal exercise machines and adult bicycles have pedal radii around 7-8". Using this machine is like pedaling a kiddie cycle. It gives me some limbering, but not enough range of motion to really do any good.

I bought this product for my 90 yr old mom who enjoys walking, but often is unable to due to the weather or tiredness. Looking at the product online, I really was not expecting much - just a simple machine for my mom to use occasionally when she is watching TV or otherwise unable to walk.

That is exactly what I got. Simple to assemble, simple to use. Anyone would really be hard-pressed to get fit and buff from this machine. Basically it just keeps my mom a little limber in arms and legs and occupy her interest for a few minutes each day.

I can see a usefulness in the middle of an office day where you can keep one under your desk and do a modicum of leg exercises to mildly keep your legs toned. That's it.

You don't get much and do not expect much. But for what it can do, it's not bad. - Compact - Exercise - Exercise Bike - Affordable'

Digital Camera Battery - camera battery, camera batteries

Visit Store Now !!

I got one of these batteries with my camera. I made the mistake and thought it was rechargible. This is not a rechargible battery, it does have a long battery life, I brought it on 4 trips with me before it died. The problem with this battery is that it does not leave you with a lot of warning that it is going to die. The battery light flashes and the camera cuts off. Best to always pack a spare as you have no way of checking how much battery is left. Do not leave the battery in the camera when and if you use the docking station as I have heard it will drain the battery. Kodak MAX CRV3 Lithium Battery

I purchased the rechargeable set and the battery never held a charge for more that a few pictures. This battery has held up for several months without the awful delay that the rechargeable has. This is by far the best battery for the Koday Easyshare camera.

I had this battery for over a year and thought it was rechargable. It wasn't and I used it in my docking station anyways, and it just now died. It has lasted over a year. and i paid alot more for another brand that I doubt will last as long. I will buy this again.

My mom loves these batteries. I've tried to get her to use rechargables, and she's also tried a variety of alkaline batteries. However, she insists these are vastly more convenient than rechargeables and last so much longer than alkalines that she only needs to pack one spare, on long trips.



(...)

This battery came with my Easy Share 4900 when I bought it in August of 2002. I use my camera a lot and it is now April 2003 and it just died. However, I didn't have much notice when it did.I've had other digital cameras and used the rechargable niimh or alkalines and they usually lasted 1 month. These lasted 9 months!I don't understand the other reviews where people said they didn't last long.

This Kodak CRV3 Lithium Battery pack simply consists of two Lithium AA batteries packaged together into one unit. This makes it convenient to travel with. The pack has a 3200 mAh capacity (from Kodak's data sheet on their website). It will last quite a while, then you throw it away and buy another one. You can also use regular AA's, or individual Lithium AA's...depending on the price, they may be a better deal.



But the best deal is to pick up a NiMH RECHARGEABLE battery pack from Kodak. It is the same shape and size as this CRV3 disposable one, but you can recharge it up to 1000 times. The rechargeable has a 2100 mAh capacity, meaning it will die in about 2/3 of the time the CRV3 will run, but it is (essentially) free to recharge and reuse again and again. You want model number KAA2HR.



That's all there is to it. Hope this review helps, as I know people have been asking for the specific capacities of the batteries (which can be found on the technical data sheets on Kodak's site). In the end, you will not be disappointed with the CRV3 as a power source, but just be sure to consider the alternatives if you are looking to save some money.

There is a cheaper alternative battery for the CRV3. W-Mart sells it. You see, the CRV3 actually contains two AA Lithium batteries packaged together. You will not see that unless you open one up. W-Mart sells it for $9.83. For the same price you can get 4 AA Energizer Lithiums. You then use two at a time. That means 1/2 the price of one CRV3. I was able to shoot 191 pictures, some using flash & LCD screen on with my Kodak Z812is, but this approach cuts your cost in half.

This battery is NOT rechargable!! So what?It replaces two AA batteries. Easier to load, less fumbling.I use it in my Olympus D40 and they last a lot longer than any two regular batteries I have tried. I will continue to use them.I don't think that rechargables are worth the trouble. - Battery - Camera Battery - Camera Batteries - Kodak'

Framing Nails - 2009 amazon frustration-fre, bills

Visit Store Now !!

Woo-hoo! Nails! I'm hardly a connoisseur of fasteners, but these nails worked just fine for me when I was nailing down deck boards. I don't recall any mis-fires that were caused by the nails (they were all my fault). The corrosion resistance seems good, too - a year later, the heads are still nice and shiny (I used the nails at a camp in the Adirondacks). So my advice is to try a 500-pack to see if you like them, and then load up on 'em if you do. B and C Eagle A238X113HDR/22 2-3/8-by-0.113-Inch 20-to-22-Degree Round Head Plastic Collated Hot Dipped Galvanized Ring Shank Framing Nail, 500-Per Box

For the DIY homeowner, who owns a power framing nailer , it's difficult to find compatable collated nails , in reasonable quantities , at local building suppy stores. Most stores only stock limited nail types, and usually in large quantities ( 10,000+ nail/ boxes ). Thru Amazon , I was able to purchase the relatively small quantity (500 ) of the specific type of nails I needed , at a reasonable price. The free shipping feature made the cost comparable to what I would have had to pay at the so called " Discount Building Supply Chains "-- and I didn't have to buy a lifetime supply size quanity. Amazon had a tremendous amount of ; sizes, types ,and quantities available--with excellent product descriptions.

I got these for nailing 1/2 inch CDX plywood sheathing for a small shed. On the most part they worked well, but occasionally at the end of a sheet the feed would jam up requiring to slide back the spring lock, adjust the nails and release. I didn't have this problem with the larger 3 1/2 inch nails of the same manufacturer. These smaller nails also didn't survive shipping quite as well and so there were some nails that broke off the sheets and couldn't be used. I would use them again regardless.

While I can't disagree about the quality of these nails, I am disappointed in the cost, considering the small quantity. Locally, 2500 nails cost about $30.00 to $40.00; for less than $10.00, these would be worth trying. These would be better offered as a "sample pack" for a lower price.

I had to add $14.00 for shipping, making the cost not worth it (I wish Amazon would offer more shipping options, beside UPS).

I have to agree with everyone on cost. Way too much for 500 nails, but what are you gonna do if you got to have them. I bought some 31/2" back in 2005 and they cost a lot also, $34.00 for 500. Since Amazon is the one selling these nails, I have to ding them on the price, even with Free Shipping. # rating because of cost. Have not tried them yet, but they better work real well.... - 2009 Amazon Frustration-fre - Porter-cable - Bills'

Water Cooling - water cooling, cpu coolers

Visit Store Now !!

Pros:

Water, quiet with Asus Q-fan, de-clutters case, it's from Corsair and a 2 year warranty (pump goes, they'll replace the unit).



Cons:

Price, bought this on Amazon, and it was still $100+ and tax, but it's that expensive plus some everywhere.

Maybe the size, but the air coolers that beat it are insanely huge and heavy and leave all that hot air in your case.

Kind of vague instructions but I did read/ watch many reviews which helped with installation.



This keeps my system and CPU really cool, I installed it to exhaust air as I have 2 GTX 260s in SLI and they really warm up the case (Antec P-160). With this installed my case temps dropped by over 20 F. My 1055T is right above ambient at idle even with OC and never gets over 120 F with SETI, Rosetta and Folding@home. I have Asus Q control set to performance and you can't really hear this even when running at 1900 rpm. Despite what the other posts say, this is quiet compared to all the other noise makers in my case. Between the SLI video cards and my front 120mm, side 170mm, the hard drives and the fan in my room, you can't hear it even at 1900 rpm. Not to mention you should be listening to music, gaming or something anyway. This also gives me so much more room in the case. If your going for a silent PC, this isn't for you.



The room this freed up is great and the case airflow is significantly improved. No more reaching under a monster air cooler to add ram or hook up fan leads, this occupies the back of the case leaving the middle and front clear.



If you can't read the specs from Corsair's site take a 120mm fan, put it 4" from the back of the case and see if anything is in the way and you'll know if it will fit. Install the radiator before you install the pump, you won't have to find a safe spot for all of that weight while tightening down the pump/heatsink. This is easier than people make it sound, put the 1st fan on the radiator with supplied screws then mount the 2nd to the case loosely with a few screws, line it up and get one started and then do the other 3.



Install it in exhaust mode, all of the reviews and my personal experience say that it cools much more effectively that way, hot air OUT, it's simple.



Read the specs! Read site reviews! Use a tape measure to make sure it will fit, I have a mid tower, no problems with clearance, but I checked first! Corsair Hydro Series H70 High Performance CPU Cooler CWCH70

I received and installed this H70 a couple days ago. I live in the tropics, with no air conditioning, so environmental temperature is usually around 30 C. When my comp was working hard with some games, it easily hit 60 and even 70C. So obviously I needed a good cooling solution.



Pros:



Modular design that will fit all major Intel/AMD socket types with ease.

Fairly simple installation.

Clear installation instructions.



Cons:



****The H70 might be too big for your current case****

Tubing to and from the radiator is not very flexible, limiting your possible configurations.

Difficulty installing the heavy radiator in between two fans then mounting on the case, all with one screw.



Firstly you MUST make sure that your case is big enough for this device. The 12 cm fan is too big for smaller tower cases, as I found out too late. Fortunately I had an older spare case lying around.



Secondly, you must be confident enough to take apart a computer and put it back together again, since you will need to mount a bracket UNDERNEATH the motherboard. While Corsair sells a case with an access hatch for this, usually a "standard" cheap computer case will not. Therefore you will have to disconnect the power supply, drives, and memory, unscrew the motherboard from the case and take it out, remove the standard CPU fan without damaging the CPU, mount a bracket (supplied) underneath, clean the old thermal paste, reinstall and reconnect the motherboard, power supply, memory and drives.



If you don't know how to do this, or are afraid to do this, get someone who knows what they are doing to help you. If you regularly build your own systems, this should be a breeze.



Unfortunately the radiator unit is "heavy" - which is to be expected because it's filled with water. However this made me really nervous since the length of the cooling pipes is rather short and the pipes are rather stiff. So at some point you end up with the radiator in one hand while you're trying to fit the water pump/cooling unit on top of the CPU one-handed without breaking anything. Or if you do it the other way and fix the radiator to the chassis first you are struggling with stiff pipes and very little room. This is an observation - I would rather have stiff, leak-proof pipes than flexible leaky pipes! I still rate this device 5/5 but installation is tricky.



Another observation - the heavy, thick radiator is sandwiched between two fans, and screwed to the back side of the case. For some reason you have to use one set of screws that go from outside the case, through holes in one fan, and into the radiator. While this is not impossible it's a pain in the ....., especially when you "forget" to plug in one of the motherboard's power cables (that happens to be just under the radiator, and thus inaccessible). Mounting/dismounting/re-mounting is a pain under this set up. Surely it can't be that hard to engineer a "snap on" method for mounting the fans to the radiator? Then you'd just need one set of screws, and not two.



That said - despite its size and the need to absolutely make sure you have the right case, this cooling system delivers. My computer runs 30 whole degrees cooler under full load. Overclocking for me used to be out of the question - now I get 58C under load. At regular speed (which is where I run), I am at a cool 38C with no load ( just fractionally above room temp.), and 42C under load. Finally I don't have to panic and think that my chip will soon fry due to thermal damage.



Well worth the price for your serious cooling needs!!! - Cooling - Water Cooling - Cpu Cooler - Cpu Coolers'

Mechanical Pencil - pencil, mechanical pencil

Of all of the mechanical pencils I have used, these are simply the best. They maintain the "lead grip" well, so that the point does not slide back into the pencil with repeated use, and the eraser is firm and effective, and lasts as long as the pencil lead.



I've found that working with these disposable pencils is a much better option than using a single permanent mechanical pencil with refills. Don't bother refilling these pencils- the eraser only lasts as long as a single set of lead points.



The lead that comes in the pencil is strong and firm, and is actually quite a bit longer than the graphite in refill packs.



One warning: Do not purchase a similar Bic pencil type that has a grey barrel- while the superficial structure of the pencil is similar, the quality of the plastic is lower, and so I've had problems with the lead slipping back into the pencil when I press down on the tip. Stick with the black barrels only. BIC Mechanical Pencil, Medium Point (0.7 mm), 10 Pencils

I'm not really sure what all to say about these. They are good, functional mechinical pencils. Each has a good eraser, with spare refills stored underneath. And available at a good price.

If you need mechnical pencils, this is the product you're looking for.

I bought a bunch of these last semester, thinking mechanical pencils would be the way to go for college. These are HORRIBLE though. The erasers are waxy for one, which is annoying, but the lead in the pencil breaks just about everytime I try and write with it. I am not pushing out a lot of lead either, just enough to be able to hold the pencil like a normal pencil and write with it. SO frustrating while I am trying to take notes from a teacher who talks fast. I would NOT reccomend these to anyone who wants something useful and convenient. Buy a portable pencil sharpener, you'll be better off with real pencils.

Have used these plastic mechanical pencils for over two years, and have found them to be both functional and reliable. Several benefits of a mechanical pencil are: no change in overall length when fresh lead ( graphite ) is needed; no sharpener is necessary; the point is renewed with a simple click; and there is no change in line thickness as one wears down the point, with each word and letter being uniform in breadth and density thoughout the sentence and paragraph. For drafting and math, they are invaluble, two arts in which no pen can compete.

With respect to the pencil's eraser, it is seldom used, as a large trapezoidal desk eraser ( the type used in grammar school when we were kids ) takes its place and does probably a better job. Indeed, I found myself reloading these pencils with-out using the eraser on the top at all.

Finally, for their price and function, they can not be beat. If someone takes one or if it is lost, no big deal. Just take another out of the pack and continue on with what you were doing, with no loss or change in quality and density of letter.

Overall, these rate a '10' or 5 stars.

Honestly, why would anyone want to own or even use a pencil in these modern times? Everything is done digitally. Kids take notes in school on their laptops, not in their spiral notebooks (also outdated technology) and what with the vicious texting circles you hear about in the news these days kids don't even need pencils to write mean notes about their classmates, draw pictures of their teachers or send out those "Do you have a crush on Jeff Sterling?" notes. It's all done digitally now.



Maybe a crossword fan would use this but if you can't do it in pen you aren't that smart anyway and maybe should stick to the Sponge Bob* activity book, which utilizes crayons.



They're bad for the environment anyhow. All that lead?! Maybe in China that's acceptable but here in the US we have standards! Plus when I was a kid our number one fear was of getting lead poisoning from chewing on pencils. "Don't chew on that pencil you cretin" our parents would shout," or you'll end up in the hospital with lead poisoning just like the Johnson boy. AND HE NEVER CAME BACK!!!" Our second greatest fear, of course, was getting kidnapped and made into burgers by the Ronald McDonald, which is why our mom never let us go to McDonald's. The Trix Rabbit looked pretty shady and that Coco Puffs bird was pretty unstable looking too.



SO in closing don't buy pencils. They are bad for the environment, encourage kidnapping and could send you to the hospital with the Johnson boy, AND HE NEVER CAME BACK!!!! - Mechanical Pencil - Pencil - Bic - Bic Mechanical Pencils'

Helicopters

I have a small squadron of mini helicopters and this one is by far the best so far. I read great reviews of the Syma S107. I was quite pleased with it compared to some of the older Syma models. Then I saw the positive reviews for this and thought I would give it a go. It flies incredibly well! Quiter than the other seven helicopters I have and so stable, smooth, and responsive. It is a little slow with forward and reverse momentum, but not bad. Slow is easier to control...maybe that was intentional. We fly these every day in the office and this hands down outperforms everthing else.

For those comparing models, here you go:

Syma S109 Apache- Excellent

Syma S105G (Sport Helicopter) Very Good -Fastest, stable, but somewhat loud, durable metal frame

Syma S107G- (Sport Helicopter) Very good- nearly identical to S105 but a little slower, different scheme,older?

Syma S026 Chinook- Looks cool, flies ok, but hard to control. Too much power for its weight; 'Cieling magnet'

Syma S013 Black Hawk- Horrible! Very light, spins uncontrollably, fragile

Syma S013 Apache- See S013 Black Hawk review. (friend purchased this one to join the fun: nothing but regrets)



Heard the S108G Cobra is good too but haven't tried it. My deployment to Iraq is almost over, so I probably won't be buying any more toys. Syma S109G Apache AH-64 3-Channels Mini Indoor Helicopter

What a difference a gyro makes! Incredible...I tried one of the 1st gen micro R/C copters (no gyro on those) not long after they came out, and found them to be extremely difficult to control and not much fun because of it.



This generation with the gyro is just amazing though...SO stable, SO easy - but not boring. There is still a learning curve for complete R/C noobies that will make this a great first R/C copter, but I look at it almost like a challenge...trying to master this little beast is FUN!



This also actually looks like a real helicopter, compared to the ones I bought previously, which looked like....well like R/C copters - completely unrealistic.



The LED lights are awesome so you can fly at night (my kids LOVE that - the dog...not so much), and the thing even seems to behave like a real helicopter, with ground effect and having to reduce speed (thrust?) to tilt forward (I am no pilot or physicist, but I do know that the previous models I tried did not give me any kind of sense of "this thing FEELS like I am flying a real helicopter!")



Gonna stop now because I sound like I work for the company (not even sure who the company is actually, but whoever it is, they sorely need an English native to write the English part of the instruction manual!)



Can't recommend this enough. Easy easy 5 stars.



FYI if you are interested in modding your Syma (specifically, the cheap, easy and awesome tail rotor mod that makes it faster and more agile), you should buy the model that looks like the R/C copter (107G I believe). Found this out the hard way, but I still prefer this one for the looks. Video of the mod results: [...]

I own two other indoor helicopters that I purchased for three to four times as much money at the mall. This is the helicopter that has the best control out of all of them. I can land this thing on a soda can and fly circles around my wives head (my favorite part, especially when she is watching stupid tv shows like the Kardashians). This is the absolute best gift for any male you know. My 8 year old can fly it. Cant say enough about what you get for the price. I also love the silly Engwish warnings printed on the props.

Got two of these RC helicopters, the other being the "Military Gyro Mini Indoor Helicopter Viefly V268". This one is by far the easier to control. I'm actually going to return the latter... it's impossible to stabalize, when it connects with the controller at all.



It was my younger one's 5th birthday gift, but figured he and his 6-year old brother would fight over them, and questioned the durability in the hands of 5/6 year olds, so got two. We did fly them outside -- there wasn't much wind -- and after 10 minutes or so they actually got pretty good at hovering and basic controls. They did bang them into several things inside and not too much damage to the blades.



Very big hit for a gift, seems like excellent value for $20, especially when you can get two for basically the price of one at Walmart.

This is a smooth operating helicopter. I am a beginner and I was flying this copter like a pro the very first time, it is just that easy to control. Before buying I did the research read the reviews and it turned out to be a very good choice. I bought the Gyro Star S107, and the S108G Cobra the same time that I bought the S109G Apache and I like them all. You cannot go wrong with this copter.

The Syma S109G Apache I received shipped quick and was very easy to fly. It flies better than the S107 Syma that I have and it's also a lot quieter. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for a great entry level RC helicopter.

Great little indoor Heelo. Fun, reliable, sturdy. Crashed it dozens of times with no ill affects. Beware laptop charging! If your laptop is set to sleep after non-use, the Heelo may not charge. Seems like several people are having this issue without knowing it. I use a dedicated USB charger plugged in to the wall. Works GR8...

This toy is one of the funnest and most durable RC helicopters I've ever owned and had a chance to experience. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the trim. This helicopter is very stable and way better than the RC helicopters I've previously owned from other companies. This is a really fun and durable toy!

This is my 3rd Syma Heli, and another example of a perfectly-flying micro coaxial heli that works flawlessly out of the box. Hovers like it's hanging from a string, very steady, nice forward and reverse flight. I can't say that for most other inexpensive micro heli's out there, but this thing is as good as, if not better than, a $100 Blade MCx micro heli. Great Apache scale looks, a nice gift for any RC helicopter enthusiast. Quite durable, can smack it into walls and ceilings without breaking it.



A great buy, perfect gift for anyone into RC heli's or planes. Excellent for indoor flight, can easily maneuver through small rooms. Best heli in this price range, by a long shot, I'd say that it's better than most coaxial heli's at 3-4x the cost.



One of the best features of the S019G is the horrible Chinese-English Warning translation on the blades: "If blade damage, don't be fly. otherwise it will create the human body or blame damage". Classic.'

Not all glue sticks are created equal. This one is more equal than the others. It's superior to Elmer's white glue, because it sticks quickly and easily without wrinkling the paper and the drying time is much faster. Great for children's crafts. Adults will love it, too.



Compared to other glue sticks, this one will actually stick. Hard to believe, but there are cheapo brands out there that don't stick at all. The cheapo brands also dry out, even with the lid on. As long as I keep the lid on these Avery sticks, the glue keeps gluing and gluing.



It is a permanent glue that is acid-free and photo-safe. I'm sure the scrapbookers out there have already discovered this glue stick.



Awesome quality product. I highly recommend it for all paper crafting needs.

Cleanser - makeup remover

I liked this product when I first used it. It smells pretty nice and my face felt really clean and tight after and not overly dry. After the first day, my skin would sting while I used it. I used it for one week, and it stung almost every time. Since using this product, I've had one pimple, which is not a big deal because I break out occasionally no matter what product I use, but the thing that's more concerning is that I started to get some red spots on my face. I don't have overly sensitive skin. I live in New York and my skin has always been fine under city conditions. Clearly not the stuff for me! Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover, 6-Ounces (Pack of 2)

I am typically very weary about picking a new cleanser. I ran out of my last one and decided to buy a different one because the one I had been using was too drying for use in colder weather. I saw this in a flashy display, bought it on a whim, and I am so glad I did. It is supposed to "gently" cleanse for "fresh, clear skin," and that is exactly what it does. My skin feels very smooth and it didn't strip the moisture from my skin. It foams very nicely without feeling like a soap, has a very pleasant scent and rinses away without leaving a residue. The best thing about it is the simple ingredient list; the back of the bottle says it is 90% natural, which is more than I can say about previous cleansers I have used. I will definitely purchase it again and perhaps try other products in this line as well.

I have an oily T-Zone and the sides of my face and nose are always super dry, so it's hard to find a good cleanser that doesn't dry out or over moisturize. This one is PERFECT! It gets off all makeup, and passes the after-cleansing test. I can swipe my skin with a cotton ball and toner and the cotton ball is CLEAN! I love this stuff! It also leaves my dry areas smooth and soft. LOVE<3 buy it if you have combination skin!

What girl out there doesn't love the option of removing makeup and cleansing at the same time?

This does it all, without the unnecessary step of removing makeup before cleansing.



I have combination skin with breakouts every now and again, and this is by far the best makeup remover / cleanser ever.

It cleanses without stripping the skin, moisturizes without leaving behind a film or oil that most removers seem to do.

I've been using it for a week so far and haven't had any reactions to it like I normally would with other products.



It completely removes eye makeup and mascara. So for $7 at your local drug store, this is such a great item to have without spending twice the price for makeup remover and cleanser.

I was SO HAPPY when I discovered this in the isles of Walmart. A natural face cleanser with the Neutrogena name? Brilliant. I checked out the ingredient list of course, and then impulsively purchased it. All the ingredients are plant-derived except for one (I think. I don't have the bottle with me). It has a liquid (more on the gel side than the water-y side) consistency and a weird smell - not bad, but definitely shouldn't be made into a perfume anytime soon. Some days, I would dilute it a bit with water and some days, I wouldn't but I always got the same results in the shower: stinging and after the shower: not that great.



It wasn't a horrible cleanser (my face did feel clean), but it didn't give me results that I wanted. It made my combination skin quite flaky and greasy...not oily, but greasy and while it cleared some whiteheads on the sides of my face, it gave me acne on my neck...It was weird. I don't like it, but I will have to try the other products before I can completely discard this one as I really liked that the packaging was "green" (the ink was printed onto the bottle and not paper on top of the bottle). And if I remember right, the ink was made of soy. But I could be wrong. Overall, it was just a weird experience.

Having spent the better part of my life between ages 12 and 23 (now) with first adolescent, then adult, acne, I have tried literally hundreds of different treatments, from OTC to medication to changes in diet, all to varying degrees of success. I bought this bar along with the Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser and the Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover. Used the last two every day until they ran out, about 6 weeks. Skin showed some improvement, but my adult acne was still active.



After they ran out, I was too lazy to buy more, so I just started using this bar soap. Freaking. Amazing. I noticed after about 2 weeks that I hadn't really had any breakouts. "Huh," I thought, "that's pretty cool, wonder why?". A month later, I have maybe 1 completely manageable overgrown whitehead per week, which spackling on Adult Acnomel 8% sulfur overnight quickly dries out. I use it morning and night with my Clarisonic Plus (shower) or Clarisonic Mia (sink), followed by Yon-Ka Creme 83, Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller (day) or Clinique All About Eyes (night), and Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 (some days).



I can FINALLY focus on taking care of the red spots and discoloration that years of acne has left behind (but no major scarring, thank God).



It might not work for you. But at this price, it's not only the cheapest solution I've ever tried, but also the most unexpected godsend. Long live Neutrogena Naturals!

I have adult acne (I know, join the club). I've tried other Neutrogena products made specifically for acne, as well as some products made by other companies. A lot of them tended to make me break out more, or didn't prevent break out episodes. I saw some ads about the new Neutrogen naturals line. Although not advertised specifically as an acne treatment, the product description mentions that it is suitable for those with acne. I've been using the purifying facial cleanser for about 6 weeks now, and found that this is the best product I've found for me and my adult acne. I like the fragrance, and do not find that this dries my face out. After using it regularly, I have had almost no breakouts. I've dealt with the two or three small pimples during this time period by using the Neutrogena spot treatment. I plan on sticking with Neutrogena Naturals.



Unfortunately, I've also learned that everyone has to try these types of products for themselves. Many other products I've tried that did not work for me had lots of good reviews. All I can say is give this one a try if you're on your search for a good facial cleanser. - Makeup Remover'
