Jointer Knives - planer knives, jointers


I purchased this item a couple of weeks ago and used it to set the knifes on my Minimax combo jointer, planner. I'm not ranking this item very high because although it is usable, it is also very cheaply made. The dial in calibrations are more eye candy than functional indicators of feeler block adjustments. You will be wise to use a piece of metal the same thickness of your blade height to set the feeler block height with.

Here is how I accomplished an accurate adjustment of the two jigs.

1 - take a piece of flat metal the thickness of the height your blades from the planner head. (Refer to the specs on your planner for that dimension)

2 - place the metal on your jointer table or a flat metal surface.

3 - set your first jig on the table so that the feeler block magnet is above the metal. Make sure that your locating magnet blocks are resting flat on the table and the magnets are secure.

4 - the piece of metal should be attracted to the feeler block magnet but turn the turncap till the metal with the feeler block magnet make contact with the table (Make sure that the clamp bolt is loose before performing this step)

5 - Once the feeler block and piece of metal are tight against the table tighten the clamp bolt.

6 - Remove the jig from the table and the metal piece from the jig.

7 - Using the same piece of metal repeat these steps. Now you can setup your knifes.

Please note that the photo for this product is also incorrect. The jig is not for the jointer tables, it is for the cutter head. Make sure that when you set your knifes that they are set on the cutter head with the locating magnet blocks flat against the head. Then adjust your table after the knifes are set with the jig (if you are setting up a jointer). You perform the table adjustment using a straight edge and a dial indicator. This jig was not designed for that purpose.

I don't know how long these will last, but the parts for building your own jig are there, if the plastic body of the jig ever breaks down. If you have the money, I would invest in a better set. MLCS 9397 Jointer Planer Knife Setting Jig

I purchased this product without reviewing the jointer manual. I saw this product and purchased it because it seemed to me, after looking at the alternatives on the market, this was the best. While a did not actually use this product when it came, it did seem to me to be a well made product that certainly would set your blades correctly. It turns out that my jointer had springs under the knives and came with a simple device for pushing the blades in while it kept them at the right height making the purchased product unnecessary. - Jointers - Planer Knives - Planer - Jointer Knives'

Mildew - soap dish, vomit


I ordered two of these--one for the bathroom vanity and one for the shower. I now wish the one in the shower had a lid, as it tends to fill up with water. Anyway, these soap dishes hold soap like there's no tomorrow. That bar of soap isn't going ANYwhere once it's in that dish. It's a sleek dish--even sexy. Guests often compliment me for my tasteful and sopisticated soap dish. I suspect it distracts them from the mildew and the faint smell of vomit. Word about my soap dish has wound through the neighborhood, and now people up and down the block are dropping by to have a look. Interdesign Royal Oval Soap Dish - Soap Dish - Vomit'

Super Saver Shipping - glass cleaner, glass care


Good product. I got it mainly for the inside windshield on my SUV because it's so hard to get into the corners. This did well for that, but after I used it, thought I was done and put it away I noticed that it did streak. It took using it a couple times to get it right, but now my windshield looks great. I think the problem is that it's hard to get firm pressure on the entire "triangle" cleaning pad. Stoner 95161 Invisible Glass Reach and Clean Tool

So by now all of us have seen the infomercial on a similar piece of hardware to clean our windshields. However I do not tend to buy from TV and thus I came looking on AMAZON. I found this item and it looked a bit better from the one on TV...simply because of the triangular shape in the front which actually does help you to reach the corners of the front windshield.



We have all cleaned windshields and simply put, the front ones are a pain in the neck. You can never reach all the way down without some sort of acrobatic movements. This tool makes it easy...spray the windshield with your favorite glass cleaner and clean it... Yes, it does take a few passes to make it 100% clean. I mean...sit down and use this thing...your back will be thankful and cleaning the car will not be a chore anymore...



The grip is nice and comfortable which makes this feel like a high quality item. It comes with one microfiber and two mesh covers...which are washable and re-usable. The mesh is for hard scrubbing.. :-) where as the microfiber gives it a great finish.



I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone that cleans their own vehicle.

You have probably seen ads on TV for the "Windshield Wonder". That product is a piece of junk compared to this one. It is well-made, has a more convenient shape for corners, and better quality covers. You can even mount it to a standard paint roller extension handle for getting at high windows without the need of a stepladder. Excellent product!

I purchased one of these at the local Meijer, who had it on sale for a mere $ 9.99. I have used the Stoner glass cleaning products for years, and I have found them to be the best products I've ever used for cleaning glass & mirrors, bar none.



This device just isn't sturdy enough to do a decent job, especially in regards to cleaning interior auto windows. Due to an oddly placed hinge, lack of head rigidity, and a need for more padding in the head itself; it is really difficult to produce enough force to properly clean with this product. I have had much better results cleaning glass surfaces with devices with fixed, rigid handles as opposed to this flexible, hinged design. The overall quality of the device itself is quite good, but the practical usage of it doesn't produce acceptable result.



A give the Stone Invisible Glass cleaning products a thumbs up (a HUGE thumbs-up, in fact), but this item gets a thumbs down, as well as a return for a refund.

This windshield cleaner does the job. It's great for getting into the corners and along all the hard to reach spots on windshields. Especially on those sloped interior windshields most modern cars have. On the inside, it's the way to go. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Is it necessary....no. Is it useful...very. I have a very sloped windshield that makes it difficult to get to the bottom of and clean. This tool works great for that. I use a number of Stoner products and you can't go wrong with them.

This item works well to clean inside scum off car windows. I like the triangular shape which makes it easier to get into the

corners of front windshield and back glass. I used this with automotive glass window cleaner, although instructions state

that plain water can be used. My favorite is still the old fashioned sheepskin chamois, but it requires more "elbow grease",

body contortions, and shaping to reach inside glass corners. The Stoner tool is quicker, almost as good at cleaning, and

does not require the prep (wetting, wringing, washing) of a standard chamois.

The tool is OK, it leaves streaks because the pads are thin and not very absorbent. The plastic construction is weak and does not allow you much pressure. However, it is handy for those hard to reach places.

I bought this tool specifically to use on the inside of windshields. I'm pretty sick of the contortions necessary to wash the inside. I saw an ad and decided what the heck. You can buy it from the manufacturer for the same price but they charge for shipping. I also bought the cleaner sold with the tool to give it every advantage (it's pricey), but I'd guess that any decent window cleaner would work just as well. Oh, that's right, this is a review..... As I began to clean the inside of my windshield, I was a little skeptical at how well this was going to work. But, it does make getting into the corners and along the edges (sides and top and bottom) easier. And after having driven post clean-up (the only real test in my opinion), it really did do a nice job. So.... I can't speak for the tools' efficiency at jobs other than the windshield, but I'd certainly recommend it for that. - Handle - Glass Cleaner - Stoner - Glass Care'

Oxo - toothbrush holder


Why is it so hard to make a sensible toothbrush organizer/holder? None of the usual places you would look for a decent one such as, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, or Macy's, have anything really innovative or practical. The typical "cup" style usually just has a plastic drain at the bottom that you just remove but then have to really wash vigorously to remove any scaling or mold. You know, the ceramic or plastic cups that come in hideous colors or designs. Blech! We had just been using a ceramic coffee mug but my wife got tired of the gross buildup at the bottom and asked me to find something else.



I found the OXO toothbrush organizer on Amazon and though very expensive, I thought it was worth a shot. The first thing I noticed when I opened the shipping box was just how humongous this organizer was. It is unwieldy! I'm not sure why they had to make it so darn big. It's wide in circumference and height. There are 4 divided slots for toothbrushes but they are large enough to easily fit 2 toothbrushes in each slot. The front slots work well for the smaller toothbrushes our kids use and the center slot for a tube of toothpaste is perfect. The toothbrush slots have small silicon-like flaps that keep the toothbrush in place so they stay upright. And the entire divider is removable for easy cleaning.



Functionally, the ventilation at the bottom and the lid are perfect. You still have to clean up but it's definitely easier than those slotted cups you often find. The bottom of the organizer is just plain plastic and unfortunately, slides around our counter top frequently. A felt or rubber base would've helped. This is important because of how large the organizer is and because of the biggest design flaw of the OXO toothbrush organizer-- the lid.



The lid is huge, heavy, and requires clearance to open. It is so heavy that when you open the lid, the whole organizer wobbles due to the imbalance created by the weight of the lid going down on the hinge. The lid opens up so wide that you need to make sure you have clearance behind the organizer for the lid to open. Unfortunately, our counter space is pretty limited on our vanity, so having to place the unit about 2 inches away from the back splash not only looks bad, but wastes space. I also think stainless steel was a terrible idea. Can you say water spots? In just one day, the entire front part of the organizer was covered in water spots. I think just a simple white plastic material with a heavily weighted base would have been a much better idea.



I was originally going to keep the OXO Toothbrush Organizer, not because we love it, but because we just hate everything else. I changed my mind however after a few more days of use. OXO needs to miniaturize the unit and reconsider the weight and balance of the lid as well as their choice in materials. Not recommended. OXO Good Grips Toothbrush Organizer, Brushed Stainless

I was quite pleased with this tooth brush holder. I was looking for one

that has a lid on it to keep my brushes from being contaminated as they sat on my sink.

This one is really great as it has vents on the bottom to air the brushes out.

I would definitly recommend this to anyone who keeps their tooth brushes on the bathroom

sink counter.

I saw this item on the Nate Berkus show and after hearing Dr. Oz describe the germs that float in the air and lands on the toothbrushes really disgusted me so he recommended this. I bought it and really like the look of it. It was a good purchase.

THIS ORGANIZER IS A PERFECT SIZE FOR MY SMALL SINK. THE TOP IS NOT TOP HEAVY AND DOES NOT TIP OVER. IT IS SMALLER THAN THE ONE I HAD THAT WAS PLASTIC AND KEPT FALLING APART. IT IS VERY EASY TO KEEP CLEAN AND EASY TO USE. MY LARGE TOOTHPASTE TUBE FITS VERY WELL. TERRIFIC ITEM!

After hearing about a covered toothbrush holder on Dr. Oz's show, I thought it sounded like a great idea. The electric types keep the brush parts under cover. So, I sent away for this one from OXO and it works great! I can even store it on the tank top of my toilet, and not on my sink, because of the fact that it keep the brushes inside the container and not exposed to the air.

Nice container for keeping my little grandson's toothbrush and toothpaste out of sight but keeping them clean. Some fingerprints show but a little wipe with a towel keeps it looking shiny. Nice to know exactly where everything is stored.

This Toothbrush organizer was exactly as expected. Dr. Oz recommended a covered toothbrush holder and this was the only one that wasn't electric/automatic.

I like the fact that I can clean it easily ( inside and out) and it's a covered unit. It's a little pricey---but does the intended job ( keeping the toothbrushes clean/ and the toothpaste all in one location). - Toothbrush Holder'

Backpack Diaper Bag - travel, diaper bags


That's what this diaper bag is fine crafted with. Not only does it have tons of storage, it has pockets that are the right size and in the right place. You know what I mean - you've got a pack of wipes and 6 diapers, and none of the pockets fit right? Not in this bag. My number one favorite thing about this bag is the diaper dispenser. Yes, dispenser. No more will you have dirty, crunched up diapers. I've got about 15 in the dispenser, no problem. There is a pocket designed for wipes. It comes with a plastic wipe dispenser, but I just buy the wipe pouches with pop open tops (not the tubs), and shove those in the dispenser. I can open the wipes without removing the package.



Here is what I have crammed in this bag as we speak. 15 diapers, package of wipes, six assorted tubes of makes up (lipstick, mascara, etc), giant wallet, gum, long sleeve outfits for my 2 month old, two year old, and three year old, one each, lotion, pacifier wipes, 2 pacis, two coloring books, two packs of crayons, 2 board books, two story books, 2 drinking cups for the older ones (open top), sunglasses, 15 disposable bibs, small first aid kit, comb, hair accessories, hand sanitizer, bottle of lotion, travel bottle of 409, 10 disposable changing pads, big changing pad (came with bag), empty bag for dirty laundry, and my nook. There is still some spare room in the top for a baby toy or stuffed animal. It also holds up to six 8 ounce bottles. Or, for me, four bottles with an ice pack. I have to take the ice because it's breastmilk, otherwise I could probably just cram my Dr Pepper in there, too. Best of all - this stuff is all organized, and I can put my hands on it without taking anything out of the bag. I am prepared for an afternoon away, no matter what.



There are two small things I can nitpick, in case the designers read this. It doesn't affect my 5 star rating, though. There is some wasted space in the top of the bag. I can set a stuffed animal on it, but it would fall out when I opened the bag to change the baby. If there were some kind of stuffable pouch, this might solve it. Second, the DVD front panel could be a bit more versatile. It is pretty flat, only big enough for a dvd player, and not even big enough for my wallet. However, I've got 2 small coloring books and 2 8-packs of crayons in there, so it is certainly not useless.



The bonus feature for me is the padded front pocket. It is the perfect size for my nook in its neoprene slip cover thingie. It's one of those things I don't always carry with me, because I don't feel it's protected in a diaper bag, but this pocket seems designed for something like this. I also like the elastic mesh pocket on the straps - perfect for my van keys. The outside elastic pockets are also tight enough that you can actually use them without something falling out. The bag also looks super easy to clean - just wipe it down.



I can't recommend this bag enough, especially if you've got several small kids. Mine are all 3 and under, so we need stuff. Lots of stuff. I definitely couldn't fill this for one child, but if you travel a lot, it would be great for the baby's stuff. Okkatots Travel Baby Depot Backpack Bag - Red

The organization in this bag is AMAZING. There is a pocket for everything! I can fit four 8oz bottles in the bottle holder. Love, love, love all the zippered and mesh pockets inside. We make our own baby food and found that our old diaper bag did not have enough room to carry all our regular items plus a few small bowls. I often found myself carrying the diaper bag, a cooler and my purse, plus a baby. I can fit my cooler inside this bag plus my wallet in the DVD pocket without any problems plus all the toys and blankets we need for a day away. It opens very wide, so no more digging blindly into the bottom of the bag. We can pack for a long day away all in one bag. This would be great for multiple children, or for the parents who like to over pack.



This bag was a little taller than I expected. It's a little large on my 5'2 frame. But, the bag itself is very light weight. Straps are well padded. Stroller straps work great. Amazing diaper bag! Well worth the price!

I've been looking for a Backpack Diaper bag for awhile but nothing was nearly as good at this. I wouldn't use it for every day as it is HUGE but for air travel it is AMAZING! Just be careful not to overstuff it as I did have a hard time getting it into the overhead of a small plane and under a seat on a big plane. I love how organized it is with MANY pockets so you can customize what goes where. I have a 6 month old and know I will be able to use this bag for years to come.



What did I get into mine? 14 diapers, a 40 ct wipes packet, 14 packetes of 4 oz formula, a formula dispenser (we were traveling in winter and wanted to be prepared if god-for-bid we were stranded!), 4 burp cloths, 5 bibs, 3 extra outfits for baby, tissues, washcloth, pacifiers, 2 receiving blankets, baggies, multiple toys, 4-9 oz bottles in the cooler pocket, a 16 oz water, my quart sized baggie full of liquids (tylenon, hand sanitizer, lip gloss, etc)and I used the right-side pockete as a "Mommy Pocket" for my wallet, snacks, chargers, etc. And i"m sure I've forgotten a few things too.



I do have a couple things I'd change:

1. Better zipper pulls. One of mine came off after the first use.

2. I want 2 zipper pulls on each pocket. You know when you stuff a pocket full and it's much easier to

close when you can zip from both sides? Well, only the big pocket has 2 pulls, none of the small ones

do.

3. More colors please. This is a pretty red but how about basic black or brown?

I am a mom of three boys! I have a 3 year old 11 month old and newborn. I absolutely love how I can divide both my babies things up and still have ample room for extra things. It is so light weight and easy to pack. You have to be organized in using the bag because everything has its own place. I can throw extra clothes for my 3 year old and the babies and pack as many bottles as I want to leave. it has room for sippycups, pacis, and everything you can imagine! this bag is perfect size weight and is stylish! - Diaper Bags - Diaper Backpack - Travel - Diaper Bag'

Garmin Nuvi 650 - garmin case, garmin nuvi 650


I don't understand all the glowing reviews for this case: based on the many four and five star ratings given by other owners, I figured it was a no-brainer and placed my order.



When it arrived, I was surprised to discover that the leather is coarse and thin and that there is no real padding for the Nuvi.



Basically, this is two pieces of hard plastic over which some low-grade leather has been stretched. The best thing I can say about it is that it fits the 650 snugly -- at least initially -- which is important, as one end of the case remains open (providing easy access to the headphone port and SD card slot, as well as a potential avenue for the carelessly handled Nuvi to slip out).



Do not look for a belt clip or carry strap option, either. This is simple protection of the most basic sort.



I do not expect this case to wear well; it just isn't constructed for regular daily use.



Given the price and quality of the Nuvi 600s, I expected better in a case.



BTW, shame on Garmin for not including even some flimsy basic protection like this in the box with the 650!



Unless it is important to you to get something with the Garmin name on it, I would advise shopping for a more durable and protective alternative to this case. Garmin 4.3-Inch Carrying Case

I bought this case from my Nuvi 760, I would buy it again.



Pros

+ reinfoced front and back makes for a sturdy case that protects the device from both scratches and impacts

+ very snug but easy to get in and out - hasn't ever slipped out

+ good size, it is about as small as it can be

+ soft interior to prevent scratches

+ small sleeve on the side



Cons

- It is snug enough to sometimes slide the power switch on the 760 as I take it in or out. I need to make sure it goes in with the switch down and locked so it doesn't come on when I put it in. Coming on on the way out isn't such a big deal since I usually want to use it.



Overall this is a great case, if you are careful you could call auto-power-on a feature!

First a comment on some previous reviews - This is not a high tech item, it's a protective case. Don't try to make more of it than that.



Now for my thoughts.

1) It fits my NUVI 750 like a glove.

2) The quality of construction is at least as good as any other case I've seen on the market. It also is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

3) It slips into my shirt pocket with ease.

4) I realize that is not a form of structural armor for my device and that I still must exercise a certain amount of care to keep my NUVI from harm. It's not waterproof, fireproof, bombproof etc. It does keep my screen clean, prevents case scratches, protects it from the usual hazards of being knocked about in the console of my vehicle where it resides when not in use.



To summarize. It does what it is designed to do at a reasonable price.

Therefore it rates the 5 stars in my book.

Garmin nüvi 750 Auto Navigation System



i just picked up one of these for a nuvi 750 as the case is listed as compatible on the garmin site. stylish looking case however, the 700 series is thinner then 600 series. if you hold the case upside down, the nuvi will fall out. be caareful.

The Nuvi 250w did not come with a case so I ordered this one. It fits perfectly. The whole 200w series is the same size so any of them will fit.



It's a little expensive but it's a lot cheaper then replacing a cracked screen.

I ordered this case for my Garmin 200W. It works great, nice case - quality construction. I would not recommend this case for any 'rugged' applications. A hard shell case would probably be much better. But this case will suit the needs of most average consumers. It is durable and can be put in a bag or purse. My only complaint is I wish it had a closure tab or strap to give it extra security for the GPS to not slip out but I've not had any problems. Nice basic protective case.

This case came with my Nuvi 660. It is well worth having the case for storage in a glove box so that other items do not scratch the screen. There is a soft liner on the inside of the case. It's also a great way to protect your Nuvi if it is dropped. This is also great for the lady that wants to put it in her purse to use show off photos of your kids and grandkids to her friends. - Garmin Nuvi - Garmin Nuvi 650 - Leather Case - Garmin Case'

Treadmill Belt Lubricant - treadmill lubricants, fitness


I bought this after coming across recommendations for the product on several websites. The problem is that it comes in two versions: paraffin or silicone. My treadmill is older and requires paraffin lubrication. I thought I was ordering the paraffin version, but I am not sure what I received, since there is nothing on either the box or inside packaging indicating what the lubricant is. I checked the company (JAD products) website and they don't give any indication there either (different product numbers or bar code, etc). Very confusing packaging by JAD and Amazon needs to be clear about what version of the product it is selling. Bottom line: If you need paraffin lubricant, you are better off ordering from JAD products directly so you know what you are getting. Lube-N-Walk Treadmill Lubrication Kit

I ordered this item from Amazon which was delivered in 2 days! I was lost without using my treadmill, because I did not know that I had to lubricate it after a certain period of time. This item was easy to use, and a bottle was included instead of individual applications. It worked

great and it was easy to handle. Now I know that I have to lubricate my treadmill every month or after 30 hours of usage.

You don't necessarily have to lube your belt as often as recommended, but you do need to occasionally. This is a simple applicator with a bottle of silicone that will last through a number of applications.



Works as described.

Had a squeak in the treadmill, which I had bought used. I was not sure that lubrication would do the trick. After three applications the squeak is now gone, so it did the job. Would give a five star rating, but the instructions could be a little more detailed.

I have been using this product for years and was disappointed when my local dealer no longer carried it. I was very excited to find it on Amazon. This is a very good product and very easy to use. My treadmill is 8 years old and still works great and this is the only lubricant I have used.

After lubricating my Livestrong treadmill several times by loosening the belt and then having to tighten it up just rights, I knew there had to be an easier way to do this job. I even envisioned the contraption in my head before I knew about this particular product. Lube-N-Walk definitely came through with some forward thinking on this one. With all the people out there owning treadmills, I can't believe there aren't more products like this one on the market. However, I suspect that many people never lubricate their treadmills to begin with. If you are a frequent treadmill runner, you cannot afford to make that mistake. Lubricate your treadmill regularly; and for ease of use, I recommend lubricating with this product. While it is not completely ingenious, it does the trick. I found it very easy to adequately lubricate the treadmill running deck with this tool. It took me about a minute to get it done. While I don't see the wand lasting more than four or five applications, it is worth the investment. - Treadmill Belt Lubricant - Fitness - Treadmill Lubricants - Lube'

File Box - hanging folders, file box


It might be obvious to you, but (before ordering) it took me a few minutes to figure out what the difference is between this product and the "64059" variant.



This one (the 64056 one) comes with 5 each of gray, maroon, navy, purple and teal. The 64059 variant comes with 5 each of brighter blue, green, orange, red and yellow colors. So if you want more than 5 different colors, get a pack of each! :-) Smead Hanging Folder, Letter, 1/5 Cut Tab, Assorted Colors, 25 per Box (64056)

I bought these on Amazon because of the nice price and color options. I've looked in stores for hanging folders, and the selection is limited. These are very durable compared to other folders I have used.



The only con is that some of the labels are also tinted, so it might be hard to read.

On the product page it says this product is 13.3" wide, which is exactly as wide as my filing cabinet. It turns out that is the width of the box not the width of the tabs on the folders which is only 12.5" wide - so the product is useless to me. I'm not sure how I can be sure I am getting the right width folder if I cant trust the dimensions supplied.

As someone who likes to organize and color code everything these hanging folders are perfect! They are very durable, they dont rip or tear easily. The only complaint I have is that I was not give the right amount of plastic label holders.

These hanging folders have worked very well for me and I have not had any problem with them. Other brands are twice the price, but I don't see that they are so much different. I'm happy with these for home use. - File Box - Office Supplies - Hanging Folders'

Highly Recommended - bibs, baby bjorn bib


We've tried every bib out there, and nothing comes close to the Crumb Chum. It is one of the single most useful baby products in the possession of anyone fortunate enough to acquire one -- the luxury sedan of eating accessories.



They are made of the same kind of waterproof polyester fabric that some shower liners are made from, but a bit more lightweight and breathable.



They may cost a little more than basic bibs, but they last a lot longer too, since they don't crack like a lot of the plastic bibs we had. They also probably save far more than what we paid for them in loads of laundry we don't have to do. Mealtime used to mean an automatic change of clothes and an outfit thrown in the wash. Either that or stripping our kids down for every meal. And even if we were willing to get them naked, there would still be a half hour cleaning the chair, as bits of lunch seemed to find their way into every possible crevice. And car seats? Forget it--in the lining, between the lining and the shell, in the seat, under the floor mat, in the doorwell. I think I found a cheerio in the glove compartment once. Eating in restaurants was also tough. We really like indian food and so do both of our kids, but a ten-minute post-dinner ritual of sweeping up saffron rice with a napkin, not to mention suffering under waitstaff glowers, removes much of the appeal of dining out. With the Crumb chum, I have given our 2-year old pad thai at the dining room table and yogurt tubes in the car and walked away unscathed.



They are really comfortable, enough so that our daughter is willing to wear them as an apron or smock for crafts and water play.



They are SUPER easy to clean. Most of the time, I just wipe them down with a sponge, or hold them under the faucet, then let them dry on a dish rack. If they're really goopy, or it's berry season, they can go in the wash (and dryer) with other clothes.



Okay, I realize I've written way too much here. Just get some. The Original Crumb Chum Bib, Sports Bears, Infant

On a recent picnic with a friend and her toddler, I noticed that the little fellow was definitely "bib challenged." There had to be something better out there. After much research, I found the Crumb Chum and immediately ordered one for my friend. It was everything it said it would be (and more). What amazed her most was the lightness of the fabric, plus the overall coverage and easy on and off features. The "Crumb Chum revolution" is spreading throughout our area (Memphis & Germantown, TN). Thanks, Crumb Chum, for making me a hero and making life easier for my friends and their little ones.

Since my 13-month old daughter will no longer let me spoon-feed her, I figured it was time to let her learn to feed herself the mushy stuff. Knowing this is a learning process for her, I was a bit tense about the missed spoonfuls that would land on her chest,lap and floor. A few days ago, I gave her a bowl of blueberry yogurt and a spoon, armored her with the Crumb Chum, grit my teeth and let her go to town. It worked great - the food that didn't end up in her little mouth (and there was a LOT of it :-) was plopped on the Crumb Chum, not on her chest, lap or the floor. I have to add that she used to yank her previous bibs off every time, but the Crumb Chum is so light, she barely knows she has it on. Now I'm completely relaxed about mealtimes with her, and I think she is, too.

I would put my 3 year old son in his high chair and he always calls out, "Need my Crumb Chum! Need my Crumb Chum!". He wouldn't start eating until he had it on. I am so happy he loves wearing it because it saves me time and the hassle of cleaning or changing his clothes.

I wish I had this bib in my house from the moment my little girl satrted on solids. We used it this morning for the first time and she is clean as could be. We have never had a meal like this! We have tried nearly every bib on the block and they will all be replaced with crumb chums immediatly! I will happily be doing less laundry and looking forward to meal times knowing she won't be covered in her food! I would highly reccomend this product for anyone with little ones!

I want to say I received this item - and the pictures do not do it justice. I could not be happier with my purchase -- It keeps the crumbs from going all over the floor and on JR. This is a great item! My only probelem is that I did not create it first!

I was really excited about this bib as it seemed like it would keep my little girl a lot cleaner. It does, but it has a few flaws. First of all, it is so big that it's difficult to wash and dry in the sink. I usually just put it in the wash, but then I'm left without it most of the time since I don't want to invest in 3 or 4 more. Secondly, my daughter figured out how to take off velcro bibs at about 9 months. I was hoping this would have a snap as that slows her down, somewhat. Instead, I have to secure it with a small binder clip, which works well, but is inconvenient because I have to store it out of my daughter's reach. Also, although it's big, I wish the sides came out about where the pocket starts. It would catch more if they were just a bit higher. All in all, if this bib had a toddler-proof closure and was priced to make it possible to buy say, six, of them. I'd love it. It's definitely worth buying at least one to use when you just don't want to mess up an outfit or you're feeding something messy.

I am not one to do laundry and now I have less loads! My son makes such a mess I can't believe it. None of the other bibs worked but the Crumb Chum does the trick. Everywhere I go everyone wants to know where I got it! I even bought tow...one for the road and one at home...

I have bought every other bib on the market, but nothing worked. I was constantly changing her outfit, and all my cute clothes I bought for her were having to get thrown out because of stains (a lot of money down the tubes). The Crumb Chum is the only bib that works. I am not changing her after each meal and my laundry load is so much less (YEAH!) - Bibs - Baby Bjorn Bib - Feeding - Baby Bib'

Screwdriver Sets - klein, wii


this baby is a life saver. i work in the security/fire/access control field and it comes in handy with the different screws that access control throws at you. only downfall is that over time the bits fall out of the block but other than that a good set for anyone Klein 32510 Magnetic Screwdriver with 32-Piece Tamperproof Bit Set

You can get a cheap version of this at your local store, but

it won't be Klein and it won't hold up like this one will.

My advice is to pay the few extra bucks and get the Klein.



My only gripe about this one is the failure to include a top

cover. As a consequence, I keep mine in a "reallyusefulbox.com"

I figured it would be good to have a set of drivers for those screw types I encounter most often and to let a tool like this with interchangeable bits handle those fasteners which are less common. The magnetic bit holder seems to function well and there is quite an assortment of bits in this little collection. The driver itself feels pretty sturdy and somewhat resembles Klein's other models. The bit holder does eventually loosen up and the bits won't stay in as well as they used to. Also, the rubber-like grip does not appear to be bonded to the handle very well. It has a tendency to shift around and while this does not affect its usability all that much, it is still somewhat uncomfortable if not annoying in my opinion. I'd like to see that fixed. Otherwise it's a pretty useful tool to keep in your tool bag. You may want to compare this screwdriver to other brands, and even check out the Megapro brand for example, to see how the quality and usability of those drivers compares to this one for your purposes.

This is great screwdriver it has a very strong magnet and great grip.

should get these to so you can reach into stuff like Xbox360 controllers and other things.



Also its a lot better picking this up with bits then like a set of 100 drivers, At least to me.

will recommend it.

A must have for every diy enthusiast. Many of times my repair work would come to a complete halt when I encounter a tamper proof screw. If I am lucky a lot of prayers or cursing and will power would some time succeed in removing the screw from its place. This tool has saved me a lot of time and frustration and throwing in the cool factor(Yes! I now own a klein tool and its magnetic) I give this 5 out of 5 stars.

You can't go wrong with Klein Tools. If you're looking for a quailty built tool that you "Know" is insulated from electrical shock, look no further. I would strongly recommend any of Klein's hand tools to anyone looking to have a set of Great tools.

Each bit is great and everything I have used works perfectly. Little more expensive then other sets but worth it. My only problem is that the bits come without a top cover. They seem secure in just the bottom but that is new and with no wear. Easy fix is to buy a cheap set with top and bottom cover and switch them out. - Klein - Screwdriver Sets - Wii'
