Leg Warmers - striped, knee-high
These leg warmers only come in one size, and it doesn't fit all. I am 5'4" 125 lbs and the cuffs are very tight around my legs. If I wear them just above my knee (where my leg is 15.5" around) it is very restrictive. If I wear them just below my knee (where my leg is 13" around) it is still restrictive. If your legs are super skinny, you'd probably be okay.
I ordered these leg warmers as part of a Halloween costume, so it's not a big deal. I will try to stretch the cuffs out a bit. If I had intended to wear them daily, I would probably return them.
Aside from size, these leg warmers are nice. They're bright, they have a nice thread-count (so they're soft), and seem to be well-made. Vibrant Multi Color Rainbow Striped Leg Warmers
I'm a size 10 and these did NOT fit at all. I got them on, but they were so stretched out & tight as to be unwearable. Well made, soft material, not itchy...but one size ONLY if you're a kid.
My daughter (7) now has rainbow arm warmers and leg warmers for her Christmas stocking. I'd love to know the measurements of the mannequin leg they show it on, because there is no way to get that kind of bunching on an average adult leg that I can find.
If you order these for a costume, try them on as soon as they arrive, lest you be surprised on Halloween when they don't fit. :(
I ordered these for a costume and planned to wear them as sleeves on my arms instead of leg warmers. They shipped fast, they are soft and seem durable, but I had to cut the band off one end to make it fit my arm. As leg warmers I doubt they would fit very many people comfortably.
I wanted cheap legwarmers for a costume - something to go over boots rather than be hidden beneath them - and figured these would do. They probably will, I'll just have to stretch them, but they will be tight. The key here is I wouldn't call these leg warmers. They're much more the feel of footless socks. They just feel like thin socks. Leg warmers, as a dancer, are a warmer knitted affair. These will do, but I wish they were more squishy and stretchable. - Knee-high - Leg Warmers - Leg Warmer - Striped'

The presto letter opener works fast and is slick. Other letter openers don't even come close to this one. Stick the tip in one edge of the envelope and it smoooothly glides all the way to the other end. No hang-ups, no stutters, no rips or tears. It just works! Presto Letter Opener (Package of 5)
I have owned a small business for 21 years and get a fair amount of mail daily. Letter opening frustrations are gone. The Presto Letter Opener is
THE BEST THERE IS, enough said. David Brauch
Business Communication Systems
The Presto Letter Opener package of 5 is a better deal than the other similar letter openers. The discount for purchasing 5 at once is substantial. Moreover, if you need one of these, you probably need more. We keep these at work at every location where anyone opens mail, and it's a good idea to have a spare or two since like pens, these items seem to walk away.
This is simply the best letter opener by far that I've ever used. After using it, no other type comes close. The design is so simple that one wonders why it took so long for somebody to invent it. The pointy part is easier to insert into a letter than a blade of any type. Then, unlike letter openers that are knife-shaped, it is easier to slide the pointy part along the inside top of the envelope. This guarantees that the papers inside are not cut or mutilated.
Because this type of letter opener reliably doesn't disturb the contents of the letter in a superior manner, one tends to use it much quicker. I open several letters in less time and with less concern than when I used other types of openers and methods.
This letter opener saves time and aggravation - it's worth it! I think it makes great sense to get a package of 5.
I am very pleased with this product. I open mail in a large doctor's office, and there is a LOT of it! I've tried all sorts of openers, from the knife-type to battery run (excellent, but too noisy!). This Presto one is my favorite. I can zip right through all my mail without any problems. Shipping was immediate. Very pleased!
We've tried various different (but similar) letter openers other than the Presto brand. The others all seem to "stutter" while the Presto slides right through the envelope. Whether it's the angle of the blade or some other reason, the Presto has worked the best at opening letters in our office.
This is best letter opener I ever used. I tried more than 10 different types form others and nothing like this. most of other brand don't even open and get jammed.
this is the only one works flawlessly. it came pack of 5 black, burgundy, blue color.
Shaun
I have tried the rest and this is the best opener on the market. It zips through tape and envelopes with ease. The angle of the blade and it's sharpness does not allow the paper to bunch up and tear. You will not be disappointed in this opener. - Opener - Perfect - Awesome - Letter Openers'

Rechargeable Batteries
This compact battery assembly provides excellent contact reliability in the tool and in the charger. The retention clips are easy to use and the battery capacity is also excellent. I have used all the others and this one beats the pack. Skil 92940 FlexCharge 3.6-Volt 1.0-Amp Hour NiCad Battery
The Battery is fine, but the charger is not well designed. It keeps charging the battery even after it is full and the battery gets very hot. One has to monitor the temp on the battery to make sure it doesn't overheat or overcharge. I hope that doesn't ruin the battery short-term.
I have remodeled a three bedroom house, using this battery pack long after my buddy's cordless gives out. While I may not have a much firepower (7.2v max draw) as others, this battery outlasts everything else I've run into. I have only worn this pack down in a single day of work once, installing 3-inch screws into studs.
A truely international battery, widely used in Europe and the Middle-East. Good for quite a few appliances besides the Skil portable drill I own. The Europeans use the battery for power screwdrivers, toys, radios, boom-boxes and etc. Only trouble is that the Ni-Cad battery has a charge memory if you don't properly discharge/use until it's flat. The old battery I had lasted for about eight [8] years.
Update: 4 AUG 2011. Did not follow my own advice. Bought a used driver and battery at a Charity resell type store. Put the battery in my newly wired / repaired charger (With out a fuse, as I intended to do) and promply blew out my charger again.
Your problems like mine,(re: Comments: "that on first use the charger failed") was that you were trying to charge defective , old, or shorted out batteries.
The unit does not have a fuse and the shorted batteries cause excessive current flow that blows out (melts) the primary side of the power transformer. I blew up two units this way. I do fault Skil for not putting a fuse in the unit to stop it from overheating and destroying the power supply. I am going to fix mine by buying a new transformer, that puts out 5 volts AC like the old one on this unit that burned up, by cuting out the old one, and splicing in the new one. But the new one I buy will be of higher capacity (Current rating) and I will put a fuse on it somewhere.
So my advice to all is: if you blew out one of these chargers already, (and that's probably why you are looking to buy one now as a replaecement)and are looking for a new charger, then throw out the old batteries that probably caused the problem in the first place and buy new ones, or take the chance of overheating and destroying this charger in less than hour.
Test your battries somehow, before you use this charger. If they are currently holding any charge they are probably ok. If you put a volt meter to them and they show absolutly no DC voltage reading, then do not put them in this charger. Or try charging them for a few minites and test again, if they show no signs of charging, then do not leave them in the charger for more than a few minutes or you will blow out (even melt) the small AC power transformer in an hour or so. Also do not leave the batteries in your new charger longer than needed to charge them. (3 hours or so).
Perry King. Arvada Colorado.
Exactly what I was looking for. Works great! I was happy to find it on Amazon because the local stores no longer carry it and the skil screwdriver/drill it goes to has been my favorite for years and years. I would've hated to part with it!'

If you are looking to order this item, then most likely you are already familiar with Energizer Max batteries. They are ideal for digital cameras as they last much longer in high-tech devices than regular energizer batteries. The main reason to purchase them on Amazon is the great price when ordering the large pack. Energizer Max AA Alkaline Batteries (8+2 Value Pack)
The package came on time, but when I opened it, I saw that the batteries were scattered around the cardboard box it came in. The battery pack was obviously opened before, and they were probably used too. I am definitely returning. - Aa Battery - Duracell - Alkaline Batteries - Aa Batteries'

Hitachi Wide Crown Stapler - lithium-ion, makita
As a DIYer, and not a builder by profession, I was looking for a medium crown stapler (MCS from now on)of reasonable quality and price- not necessarily the top of the line that will last me through decades of constant use. The Makita matched these criteria well in my search through the reviews of MCS. I was even looking at reconditioned ones and the new Makita at Amazon beat most of the name brand tools - even as a new item.
The other criteria I wanted was quality, and at least in the reviews I found online and not just at Amazon, this one got good reviews. So far, and I haven't put too many staples in for the particular project I purchased this for, but has performed beautifully - no jams as yet, it's light enough to be reasonable (and I'm a woman using this for soley overhead work at this time), and the hook for hanging it on a belt as come in very handy.
The only downfalls I've found, and again, these don't affect me that much because of my DIYer status, are the depth adjustment which requires the use of an allen wrench (fortunately stored on the tool itself) and the loosening of a screw to adjust - unlike my PC finish nailer which just has a small nob to turn with your finger for depth adjustment. The other downfall is there is no case - in my opinion one can be easily built or for the pro, you could easily hang this in your truck amongst other tools. Neither of these downfalls were involved in my 4 star rating however. I just did not feel I could give 5 stars having only put in a limited number of staples as yet.
After I finish my project, I will likely put an update of this review online.
Update 12/21/10 I have completed my project which was replacing my front porch ceiling with tongue and groove finished boards. All overhead work and never had a problem with this stapler, no jams, only two misfires which were my own fault, and no sore shoulders. Two thumbs up (and all ten fingers intact) for this stapler. Makita AT1150A 7/16-inch Medium Crown Stapler (16 Ga.)
I own a siding coil nailer from Makita and that gun is great, so with that in mind, I took a chance and bought this gun about a month ago. I have used it fairly extensively on multiple projects (cedar clapboard, T&G beaded ceiling, cedar shakes, railing spindles, a bird house and I plan on using it for a porch floor) and it has performed without a hitch, not one jam. It isn't an air hog nor does it have any trouble shooting/driving a 2" staple... to date, that's all I've shot is 2" staple. It's light and easy to use... well balanced and fits the hand well. A well engineered gun.
We will see on the durability aspect of it, but if it's anything like the other Makita gun I own (2 yrs and counting) I have nothing to worry about.
I give 5 stars for the gun and gun performance...
I give Makita less than that since most of us (those who use these type of tools on a daily basis) don't need another pair of (cheap) safety glasses, and I suspect that most people who own pneumatic guns and such have plenty of oil. While those things are nice... I'd rather see a selectable trigger like the coil nailer has... and a case wouldn't hurt either.
I digress... the gun is great and well worth the cost. I initially paid $187 and change for it when I first purchased it and have watched as it's dropped almost $60.00. Luckily for me, it's been within the 30 day window allowing me to receive adjustments. $187 and change is a lot to pay for this gun, $130.00-ish is not... it's a steal. I'd buy it again in a second.
UPDATE: 12-14-08 Gun still going strong and performing without a single hitch... this gun has yet to fail or disappoint. I also see that me getting it for the $130 is indeed a steal. Oh well... still a great gun though. - Makita - Lithium-ion - Wide Crown Stapler - Air Stapler'

Ipad Screen Protector - ipad cover, ipad accessory
I was looking for case to protect my iPad from scratches and I came across this one. It is cheaper than the iLuv clear case but it doesn't come with a stand like the iLuv. The main different between the 2 is that this one is made of clear rubber and the iLuv is more thick plastic.
It is easy to put on and makes the iPad looks amazing. The design on the back enhances Apple aluminum original design. I wanted something that didn't alter that design because that makes the iPad a winner. The product pictures doesn't really do justice on how the case looks and feels like.
As an extra they include a screen protect film. This film is not well cut and it would be better if you cut it 2 to 3 millimeters on the bottom part before you apply it because it will make you bubbles.
Other than that I recommend this product to anyone who is looking to preserve the original iPad look. CrazyOnDigital Apple iPad Clear Wave Premium Crystal Candy TPU Silicone Skin Case/Precut LCD Screen Guard/Protector
This is the second case we tried - the first one was thicker and opaque. This one is thinner and translucent, with a pattern all over the back. We returned the first one mainly because the iPad could not be charged or synced with the case on - we had to remove the bottom edge of the case - the opening for the cable connector was too small. It would also not fit in the dock with the case on, but that may not be possible with ANY case. This one allows charging and syncing, and is nice and thin, so it doesn't make the iPad too bulky. The only thing they could improve on a bit is the grip - the plastic is shiny, and not as grippy as it could be, but it still works as advertised, and is a good deal for the money.
Overall, the skin is nice. It's not hard plastic, it's more rubbery and flexible which is what I wanted. While it was nice that this came with a free screen guard, I couldnt apply it without getting bubbles in it and the cut seemed slightly off. I ended up throwing it out and will look elsewhere for one.
I agree with previous reviews. This case looks amazing. It fits just right and has a nice soft feel to it. It's smooth, not "sticky" like some softer silicone cases. My one major gripe with it is that my iPad would not sit securely on the dock with this case. The case isn't cut to accommodate the dock, at least not with a tight enough fit to allow charging. The hole in the case allows the charging cord only. Using an exacto knife, I enlarged the hole, so I can dock and charge the iPad without taking the case off. I liked the design and feel of the case so much, I decided to try modify it rather than exchange it. Never did get the screen protector on--way too many bubbles that were impossible to get out.
This is a good little case but some of the white paint transferred to the back of my iPad and it can't be removed. I'm not sure if others have experienced this issue or not but I wanted to make folks aware of this before purchasing.
I was shocked and angry when I received this skin with a 4 inch CrazyOnDigital Logo on this skin. Do they really think I want to spend my money to advertise for them. Obviously they are aware that people would be less likely to make this purchase if they knew, because it is not shown on the photo or described. I feel like I've been duped.
Size, look, feel is awesome but the skin has a big open to shows your apple in the back of your ipad. that open doesn't shows in the product picture in the amazon.com, I m very disappointed. anyway, its only cost me 6 dollars something, it is a good lesson for buying the after market apple products from amazon(do not believe what you see for the pictures).
I have a Macally Metrobpad on my iPad and have been completely satisfied with it's back protection. My boyfriend is a bit less gentle with his toys, so I ordered this for his. I could not believe the POOR fit. Most noticeable is the inability to access the on off switch on the top of the iPad. It appears like ithe plastic should have been removed in that area but was not. Took a razor knife and sloppily cut it out ( due to the thickness of the material). As my boyfriend will be taking his iPad to Germany in a few days, he needs access to the sim card slot. This time, there is not even the appearance of perforation. It would be impossible to cut that out. Additionally, the Apple OEM USB cable pops out of the opening for it.
Granted this only cost $7 something, but, it was still a waste of money. I will be ordering another Macally.
We went through at least 10 cases and screen protectors for the iPads in the house. Some are great, others not.
This is a great buy, and my personal favorite. Let's break it down really fast for would-be purchasers:
Pros
Fit: Fits snug and perfect, all ports easily accessible, hole present for speakers, moulded perfect for all buttons.
Material: Great! A little more rubbery than most silicone cases, so this is like a cross between a hard case and a soft case. The material grips well, but isn't "sticky". This helps it sit on legs or a stand better, but isn't so rubbery as to be annoying.
Look: Great! The semi-clear material allows you to keep that apple aesthetic while protecting the iPad. This is the best looking case we found. It is a very snug fit and is rather thin, so you get protection without adding a lot of bulk.
Screen protector: CHECK IT OUT! We went through four brands of screen protectors. Anyone who has tried knows this can be tricky. They get bubbles, lint can get under them, and they're a pain to apply. This one was THE BEST. It went on fast and easy, and looks perfect. It was the only one to do this. (see tips below)
Cost: A GREAT Value
Cons
None that we can tell. The model I got has a hole cut out for the Apple logo. This could result in scratching in the future, but I'm not sure that's a big concern.
Tips for a perfect screen protector application:
To get the best application, clean your iPad and work surface well with a damp lint-free cloth. Use canned air to spray off any add'l lint. Apply the screen protector SLOWLY from the home button end upward, removing the backing as you go to minimize lint/trapped air. Once it's in place, use a credit card and/or cotton swab to patiently brush out any air. Do this BEFORE removing the top protective layer, since the removal of air can scratch the film if you do it after the upper protective layer is peeled off. Look things over carefully with the iPad turned off. If there is any lint or dust trapped, NOW is the time to peel the layer up and remove them. It is impossible to do this after both protective films are removed, and you will ruin the screen protector. If things look good, very slowly peel off the top layer, making sure not to pull too hard so as to allow air back under the screen protector. Viola - with a little patience you'll have a perfect application! Do you need this? YES! One of our iPads has lived in a relatively tame home office only environment. It has never been dropped or anything, and there are some minor scratching. Whatever Apple - this spendy toy NEEDS screen protection. - Ipad Accessory - Ipad Screen Protector - Ipad Cover - Ipad'

"Jack of All Trades" puts Bruce Campbell into the perfect role as a sort of swashbuckling hero that reminds me quite a bit of the Daffy Duck "Scarlett Pumpernickel" cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. Appointed by Thomas Jefferson to prevent the French from further colonizing, Jack tangles with Napoleon (played by Vern Troyer aka Mini-Me)in a number of episodes. He also rescues Ben Franklin from Napoleon who hopes that Franklin will come up with the ultimate weapon and Jack appears as a masked folk hero the Daring Dragoon (great name)when he tangles with the French governor Croque. His contact is a beautiful British agent (Angela Dotchin). Aside from the great chemistry between Campbell and Dotchin, the show has all the entertaining trademarks of Equal bits adventure and comedy the show was the best part of the ACTIONPACK hour that also featured "Cleopatra 2525". The DVDs look extremely good with nice full screen transfers and colors that pop off the screen.
Unfortunately Universal has decided to release the full series without any extras. There was a review that mentioned that Campbell was against the release of this show and Brisco on DVD--nothing could be further from the truth. He was probably referring to a money issue (or being sarcastic)and the haggling with Universal. Also, the show had such a small cult following I'm sure that impacted the release as well. Campbell was executive producer of this show with Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi.
Delightfully funny "Jack" makes a perfect compliment to "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr." (through no accident its being released the same day at a much lower price--because there are no extras--Universal is hoping that Campbell/Brisco fans will see this, see the price and say, "hey this looks pretty good, too". Can't fault them for a brilliant marketing ploy).
The show is nicely packaged in those slimline DVD holders so they won't take quite as much space on your shelf. Jack of All Trades - The Complete Series
At last one of the funniest shows on TV gets its due. Of course it still should be on the air but at least we can relive the show which had Verne Troyer as the funniest Napoleon ever. Bruce Campbell is one of the most underrated actors alive and does the role of Jack/Daring Dragoon justice. Please buy this wonderful piece of television as shows like this are hard to come by today.
*JACK OF ALL TRADES - DVD"
I'll make this short. It's whitty and funny, at times, but I just kept feeling like something was missing. Perhaps it's because the show is only 22 minutes long each and there's not enough character development? Anyway, overall it's not bad, but there's way too much verbal porn with sexual inuendos in almost every line. To me that's what really ruined this series.
*NOTE* NOT FOR KIDS! ! !
My favorite part of the show is the intro theme and the theme song, it's brilliant. Too bad it's the only thing the kids can watch. Again, Bruce is brilliant.
One of my favorite shows-EVER. Bruce Campbell at his best, and Angela, WOW what can one say other than, wish I could see more of her as well.. I've been waiting for YEARS to find this series on VHS and/or DVD (bootlegs were OK, however... I'm sure Bruce and all the other actors would like their residuals!) Excellent show, great slapstick, wonderful acting and very entertaining. This is a must for christmas for the Bruce Campbell fan...
One of the goofiest shows I've ever seen (along with "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.", which was released on DVD the same day as this series) has finally been resurrected from the graveyard of unfairly-cancelled series! The plot is very simply told; an American secret agent, Jack Stiles (Bruce Campbell) is ordered by President Jefferson to go to the French colonial island of Palau-Palau in the South Pacific to thwart Napoleon's expansonistic schemes. There, he will work with a female British agent-merchant-inventor, Emilia Rothschild (Angela Dotchin). This provides the foundation for 22 episodes' worth of pure zaniness centered on the Moonlighting-esque relationship between Jack and Emilia, and their continuing misadventures as they elude the idiot French governor and his even more buffoonish army commandant, encounter historical figures including Napoleon himself (played by Verne Troyer, a/k/a Mini-Me), Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, Lewis and Clark and Blackbeard, and exchange politically incorrect and risque one-liners. Campbell and Dotchin generate plenty of onscreen sparks; Dotchin is a gorgeous petite blonde with ravishingly expressive blue eyes which she deploys to splendid comic effect (I love watching her roll those beautiful orbs every time Jack lets loose with a particularly stupid quip!)
I can't give this DVD set 5 stars, though, much as I'd like to, because the episodes aren't presented in the proper order. This can confuse some people new to the series. Also, there don't seem to be any extras, which is a pity.
I grew up when Bob Hope movies were still played on Saturday afternoons, and as a kid I loved his wacky antics. It was only later I realized how risque he was for his time with all the one line zingers that zoomed over my head at first.
Jack of All Trades reminds me of nothing as much as it does those zany Bob Hope movies. Bruce Campbell has nailed this "persona,' and while he's not aping Hope, he nails the essence of that style with flair.
You'll want to be careful who watches it with you as it's rather spicey tongue and cheek dialogue is not really suitable for teens (who might not want to watch a 10 year old series anyway.)
The series works great for my wife and I and we enjoy it as we do most Bruce Campbell offerings. I still scratch my head over why Bruce didn't become more popular, maybe he doesn't take himself seriously enough, but whatever the reason, he's easy to like and fun to watch, and he hasn't lost a step with Burn Notice. - Best Cancelled Tv Shows - Campy - Tv Series - Comedy'

Portable Air Compressor - portable 12v air compressor, air compressor
I've owned two other tire inflators: both Craftsman. Both were as loud as a jackhammer and caused a massive racket when in use. And they were quite slow in inflating my car tires so the racket went on for longer than I desired. The primary features I wanted in a new unit was low noise output and an ability to inflate my 20" SUV tires. Wow! does this unit deliver! I plugged it in one of my car power outlets and turned it on in my enclosed garage. I know the noise was not noticeable to my townhouse neighbors. And the inflation is much faster: with my Craftsman, I would settle in for the wait to inflate 5psi, turn on the radio and check the gauge every few minutes. With this one, I had to watch the gauge closely to ensure I did not over-inflate within 1 minute. (According to the claim on the box, it will inflate a 14" tire from 0-28psi in under 2:30 seconds.)
What you get:
* 16-ft PVC air hose w/ quick connect cabling (much like most Craftsman air compressors);
* 10-ft power cord with a 15 amp fuse (this length, plus that of the air hose, should be plenty long enough for most folks);
* Built-in analog pressure gauge (above 30 psi, it displays 2psi increments up to 150psi);
* 4 LED lights built into the inflator (the lamp has a separate on/off switch from the inflator)
* Four inflation adaptors for toys, balls, rafts, etc.
The box also includes 2 replacement 12v fuses. I can't speak to longevity as I've not put it through any wear-and-tear but since it's a direct drive motor, fewer moving parts would imply that it should last longer than other gear driven models. The whole thing fits nicely in a carrying bag that can easily fit behind any car seat (it's about the size of an adult's soft lunchbox). Time will tell whether Goodyear was wise in allowing its name used on this model but so far, so good. Highly recommend. Goodyear i7000 12-Volt Direct Drive Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator
I am upgrading from a cheap unit that was slow and noisy. After researching a number of air compressors online, I decided to purchase this unit. Just received it and tried it out. I am really pleased by this unit:
- Incredibly quite and stable -- it won't jump around like my previous unit;
- Quick inflation -- I tried to top off on my 31" truck tire. I did not time it, but I can see the needle moving at 33 psi. For bicycle tires, it takes only seconds;
- Reasonable power draw -- it did not blow the fuse on my 04 4Runner, and I don't have problem starting the truck after testing the unit without engine running to fill 3 bicycles and top off a truck tire;
- Accurate gauge -- I tested it against my other tire gauge and the readings are practically the same at 33 psi;
- Quality construction. The chuck connector works much more reliably than the quick connector in my previous cheap unit. It loses a bit of air upon disconnect but can be easily compensated.
For an upcoming 3-week camping vacation I wanted a reliable compressor so that I could maintain the correct tire pressure for the tires on the pop-up camper. Camper tires will heat and fail (blow) if the pressure is too low. Our camper tires require 50 psi. I chose this compressor because it appeared to be heavier duty than the "cheaper" (below $20) varieties found at the discount stores. After 3 weeks and 5,000 miles, no blow-outs. Plus, we also had a truck tire with a slow leak and I was able to maintain good pressure in that tire without having to rely upon service station inflation vending machines. In summary, I believe this product is a useful tool and a good value.
As many others have said, this compressor uses more current than the average cigarette lighter socket can handle. However, with proper fusing, it works as advertised, is fairy quiet and inflates tires quickly. Unfortunately, after an estimated total of 45 minutes of intermittent use on my sedan, the pump's connecting rod bearing shaft broke away from the counterbalance and the unit is now useless. The failure occured at 32 P.S.I. while inflating a tire.
This is a great little compressor, Small enough to keep in my truck, but powerful enough to top off my tires to 65psi in just a couple minutes.
The flashlight is a bit gimicky, but it could be useful in some situations. The switch for the light is separate from the compressor switch so you don't need to turn it on unless needed.
The power cord and air line are plenty long enough to comfortably reach all 4 tires on my full size, extended cab truck (as long as I came out a door on the side I was inflating), yet short enough to be easily manageable. The air chuck screws onto the tire valve so you don't have to hold it on while inflating, and the auto-coiling air line tucks into the provided carry bag easily.
I was very impressed with both how quiet and cool it ran. Even inflating to 65psi it didn't struggle, or even warm up.
It might be a bit of overkill for passenger car tires (~32psi), but it's great for truck/SUV tires.
It needs more than 16AMP DC outlet. I had 15AMP outlets for my minivan and car. Using this inflater blew both the fuses after pumping couple of tires.
Product carton says it as "Goodyear i7000 for Trucks & SUV's". Also it says that the power requirement as 14.5AMP. I think product description about power requirement is wrong. It needs more than 14.5AMP as it blew my car fuse.
It should work great on trucks and SUV's but not for mini vans and cars.
I wish I had bought it several years ago. I've used it twice in the past month. One time I had a completely flat SUV tire. The i7000 inflated it in ten minutes. It does get a little warm when it runs that long...the device itself and the 12 volt plug. The 12 volt cord is long enough for any normal passenger vehicle and the hose adds several more feet. I haven't used the flashlight but it seems bright enough to help out in the dark. I love the way the hose attaches to the tire...it screws on. Nice tight fit but turns easily. It has a nice case in case you want to carry it in the vehicle. - 12v Air Compressor - Air Pump - Portable 12v Air Compressor - Air Compressor'

Silk Scarves - bellydance, hip scarf
Great quality. Doesn't slip off the hip easily like chiffon hip scarves do. Although it doesn't cover my behind. It's more like a belly dance coin belt with "coin fringe." It terms of quality, it's great, the coins haven't fallen off, feels well made. I do want one that would cover the hip and butt area like the triangle hip scarves. So if that's what you're looking for, don't buy this. But if you will wear this with a chiffon skirt, this should look great with it.

My girlfriend has been taking belly dancing lessons and loves to dance.
She was extremely over joyed when I gave this skirt to her. Great product,
well made and from a man's point of view, quite enticing.
First off, the layers of coins are much closer together than the actual picture but that isn't a big concern for me. I just took it out of the package today, tied it on, and did a little shimmy. Right off the bat two beads and one coin fell off. I bought this because of the price and the ratings and thought that if any beads fell off it would be at least after a few uses, not during my first shimmy. It was a major dissapointment. The only reason I put two stars instead of one is because I bought another black one like this but with a different design that didn't fall apart so quickly, was a little heavier, and about the same price, so maybe this one was a faulty one. I don't know, but I don't want to wear it to class as I'm afraid I'll have the floor littered with beads and coins. - Bellydance - Coin Belt - Scarf - Hip Scarf'

Ipod Touch Cover - case, ipod case
So, yeah, like a lot of people have said, this case doesn't really fit. It's definitely a bit too large and doesn't stay in place if it's in your pocket. Another result of the loose fit is that it makes it more difficult to press the power and volume buttons effectively. Also, although the connectors, speaker, and camera are all accessible, the thin strip of rubber along the bottom is incredibly flimsy and doesn't stay in place very well. So, this case works perfectly fine if your iPod will be laying flat on a table all day, but that's about it.
So, yeah, seeing as I only paid a dollar for this (plus S&H), I can't really say that I'm surprised. But to describe this case as "premium" is to display either an extreme lack of comprehension of the English language, or a willingness to lie about your product to make a quick buck. Premium Black Soft Gel Silicone Skin Case Cover for Apple iPod Touch 4G, 4th Generation, 4th Gen
I just received the ordered cover...perfect shape and solid quality although the color is more or less TRANSPARENT instead of BLACK. IMHO looks even better in transparent so I am perfectly happy. Just 4 stars for the fact the the info on the color is incorrect.
Great cover - protects all the corners and the back from scratches, keeps iPod from slipping, easy to put on and it stays on well. No cover for front - need to buy screen protector separately, but quite inexpensive - less than half most other similar covers. I was pleasantly surprised. Would definitely recommend.
Pros:
- Price. Under $3 for an iPod Touch case? You'd have to dish out three times as much as a retailer for something of comparable quality.
- Grips well to flat surfaces. Good for browsing the web or app store with the device on a table.
Cons:
- Quality. The rubber isn't exactly outstanding; there's a molding line that goes round the edges of the case, which makes it less pleasant to hold. Also, the sides of the case bulge out slightly, which takes away from the look of the unit.
- Lint pickup. If you're planning on putting your iPod in your pocket at all, be prepared for lint and fuzz sticking to the case. The feeling of the case declines with the more lint that sticks to it
- Though it fits fairly well, the case can become dislodged if pushed on properly. Usually when this happens, it's the last thing you want to deal with.
Overall, I'd recommend either a higher end rubber case or, better yet, a hard case for your iPod Touch 4th Gen. I ordered this one so I'd have a case on hand when I bought my iPod. It has given me time to seek out something better. And believe me, almost anything would be better. Don't buy this unless you're in my situation or you want a cheap backup case.
We bought 2 of these case covers for our new Ipod just in case there was wear and tear after a while on one of them. My husband put one of the skins on and later that day took his Ipod out of his pocket and there was already a small tear on the case. We expected this to happen eventually... but not right away. The is a very cheap product so I guess you get what you're paying for.
I recently got a ipod touch and was very excited. I bought one of those transparent screen cover to protect the front of the ipod and figured that I also need something to protect the back. Therefore, I bought this piece of junk.
Problems with the cover:
1. Way too loose, it doesn't stay on the ipod when you put it in your pocket.
2. It interferes with typing. When I tried to type anything, the cursor will jump all over the place. I have take off the cover whenever I need to type anything.
3. The cover collects dust too easily.
Basically, the cover needs to be taken off the ipod when you need to use it. It comes off easily when you aren't using it. What I do all the time is to put it back on. Terrible.
Certainly at this price point, you have to expect that you're going to get what you paid for. I knew this coming in. So, my expectations were low....and I wasn't disappointed. This case is really pretty crappy. You will NOT want to keep this as your permanent solution on your new, expensive iPod. To call this a 'Premium' case is very misleading. It should be called 'As Basic and Cheap as possible' Soft Black Gel Silicone Skin Case. The seams and cuts are all jaggedy. The case is flimsy and loose.
If you're going for something temporary until something better comes along..may I suggest some of the cheap TPU type cases. They are tougher, fit snugger, and are not dust magnets like this material.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Very cheap thin silicone case that doesn't stay on.
What do you expect for a couple of bucks.
Don't buy unless that is what you're looking for. I'm now looking for a better one. - Accessories - Ipod Touch Cover - Ipod Case - Case'
