Cordless Nailer - finish nailer, 18 volt

I love this cordless nailer. I've had the straight dewalt cordless nailer for the last couple of months and it works great as well but this 34 degree version seems to get in those tight places just a little bit better especially with the crown moulding. I haven't had any trouble with power or jamming with this nailer. I have used the hitachi 2 1/2 inch angled finish nails from lowes for this nailer (after trying the bostitch finish nails which wouldn't fit right), and they have worked great. I would definitely recommend this cordless nailer to others especially for the $279.00 promotional price I recieved from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. DEWALT DC628K XRP 1-1/4-Inch - 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge 34 Degree

I am a homeowner who yearned for new base boards and crown molding.

Its very powerful, and I have other Dewalt tools that use the same battery so it kept going and going. A setting of 3 or 4 (out of 10) was plenty to counter sink the nail (2 1/2 inch) into the wood molding. I have finished 2 rooms with no jams or misfires. If you are used to an air nailer it might be a bit heavier but they compensate for the weight by balancing the load nicely.

We use this thing all of the time. I don't miss the door trim abrasions from air hoses at all.

Some of the carpenters complain about it not being a "real" nail gun. But for some reason, they don't want to run out the air hoses and set up the air compressor. Like my mom would say, "Some people would complain, even if they were buried in a gold coffin."

I bought this gun in October 2008 to use while building my house. It has been, and still is, a fantastic tool. I use it all the time - one of my best tool purchases ever. But - there is always a but - make sure you can buy the nails locally. Amazon does not sell the 34 degree nails anymore (or at least they say "they are out of stock and don't know when or if they will be back in stock"). Even when they did have them, they always screwed up the order for galvanized - didn't know the difference between galvanized and not. Look at the reviews - like 5 people got the wrong nails, including me. Now, April 2010, I try finding more nails online, and even the Dewalt website says they are not available online. There are other brands around, but if you want the DeWalt's, good luck. So just be sure you can get the nails - DeWalt's website says they are available at my local Lowes - I'm skeptical, but will find out this weekend. Other than the availability of nails, this is an awesome tool.

Update - I was able to order the galvanized nails at my local Lowes.

I bought this nailer in January and wanted to use it on several projects before writing the review, I have and here it is:

After years of dragging the compressor and hose up one or two flights of stairs (the compressor still rules in the shop!) I was eager to "go airless" and boy, am I glad I did. Small jobs (like 4 or 5 nails into a piece of trim) are effortless. As others have mentioned, the battery lasts a really long time (two batteries is plenty) and the power setting (to set the nail depth) is great.

After several little piece-of-cake trim jobs, it was time to challenge the 628 with oak flooring. I installed 3/4 x 5" inch solid unfinished oak in a bedroom and had to use the 628 on the first and last 3 courses (where the Portanailer wouldn't work) as well as in two closets. On a power setting of 6 (the highest) the 628 had no problem blasting through the full 3/4" oak into the plywood below and setting the nails nicely. I had about three jams (probably hit the H-clips or screws below the oak), but they were pretty easy to clear.

The fact that 628 uses the same Senco nails as my Senco nailers was a huge bonus as I have a pretty good stash of 1.5, 2, and 2.5 inch and I wasn't looking forward to purchasing and storing more.

Expensive? Maybe, but the thrill of money saved on inferior tools is forgotten long before the frustration of cheap tools is.

Another great Dewalt product!

Considering cordless nailers? DeWalt has it done right! My project was crown moulding with enhancers for the entire downstairs and master bedroom upstairs; four large rooms in all. I did not want to drag cables and a compressor around or deal with the noise so I did my research and narrowed it down between this one and the Paslode. Ultimately I decided on the DeWalt because it did not require air cartridges and reviews of Paslode showed a regular tendancy to jam alot. I purchased a refurb model. I am extremely happy with the purchase and performance of the gun. I used 1.5 and 2 inch nails and also ordered those from Amazon. I probably went through 2000 nails and the gun only jammed 3 times. Removing the jammed nail was super simple and was completed in less than 20 seconds. The gun itself is a little heavy at around 8-9 lbs, but I wasn't holding it up for any extended length of time. I am extremely pleased with this gun and solidly recommend it. Your toughest challenge should be determining what gauge nail gun you need for your project.

I purchased a refurb model of this and have nothing but great things to say about this nailer. I've used it for quick shoe moulding repair, bathroom baseboard installation, and to flatten out cedar shingle siding that was warping before painting. Bump mode is highly functional with no lag or delay.

I Have never needed to use a depth adjustment setting higher that 3, even while using 2 1/2 inch nails into 2x4s, setting 2 will sink it all the way in.

I would change the LED light to a white color rather than yellow though.

I use hitatchi nails from lowes with no problems at all.

I can't add much to the good things that other folks have already said here. This is an excellent and practical tool! One thing I can vouch for is its durability. I got this nailer for Christmas back in '04, and have used it several times a week ever since(I think I may actually use it more than my drill driver...is that possible?). Often it can be working all day long. This thing hasn't skipped a beat yet! I spent much more for it back then (Yeah, I got it for MYSELF for Christmas), and I still think it was worth every penny. I know not having to carry around and set up a compressor and hose is priceless. - Dewalt - Finish Nailer - Nailgun - 18 Volt'

I ordered 3 and one of the three had imperfections in the center of the bow(small dents and voids like might normally be found in wood) . After trimming to proper length I bent the bow for installation and it broke at the imperfection. I did not try to wrap it into a circle it broke well before any excessive bend. The other two worked out fine.

I was surprised that they shipped each one in a seperate tube. The packaging was poor since the bows were falling out of the tubes when they arrived. Attwood Corporation 10701-1 Hardwood Cover Support Bow - Boat Covers'

Keyboard Adapter - ac adapter, casio

Visit Store Now !!

I've noticed a lot of people here were having a hard time finding the right adapter for their specific keyboards, and I've got a solution. You don't actually need to buy a Casio brand adapter to fit your Casio keyboard (matching model numbers can be tricky online). Here's a fool- proof method for finding the right adapter every time;

On the back or underside of your keyboard, there should be a voltage rating (which looks like a number followed by 'V'. For example, '9V' or '8V') and a milliamp rating (which looks like a larger number followed by 'mA'. For example, '850mA' or '900mA').

With those two numbers, you can find the exact adapter you need. :) For example, my keyboard is rated '9V 850mA', which looks like a bunch of gobbldeygook until you type it into a search engine or show it to a salesperson at any electronics or toy store. Almost all adapters are rated this way and regardless of the manufacturer (i.e. Casio, Yamaha), you'll always get the exact adapter you need when using voltage and milliamp numbers. Just be sure the other end of the adapter is the right fit for your input jack, and you're all set. :) Hope that helps. Casio AD-5MR Keyboard AC Power Adapter

As the last reviewer wrote, we also ordered the adapter to go along with the keyboard we ordered and held both items until Christmas. The adapter was not the proper adapter for the keyboard as pictured.

I got a Casio keyboard for xmas, and, considering it's size and quality, I was a little disapponted that it didn't come with a power supply (integrated or external (integrated would've been better)) but the next day I went to Toys R Us and bought this little gem and now all is fine.

I, like the other customers. ordered this adaptor based on the recommendation from the site, and was disappointed when, on Christmas Eve, I realized this was not right for the keyboard we had ordered. This situation was particularly misleading since the adaptor was practically "bundled" for sale with a product for which it is not compatible.

When I ordered the Casio SA-67 keyboard on 11/05/02, I also ordered the Casio AD-5UL AC adapter at your recommedation, along with other items. I held the items till Christmas for our grandson when we were disapointed to find that the plug on the AD-5UL adapter was too large for the DC7.5V jack on the electronic keyboard. The keyboard user's guide clearly specifies the model AD-1 as the only AC adaptor to be used with the SA-67 keyboard.

There seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding this adapter, mainly people having bought it for a keyboard it doesn't support. According to the pack, it "fits all CT, CTK & LK Keyboards except LK6". It works great on my LK-50. Another reviewer mentions getting a generic 9v adapter - I have tried 5 which fit, and all but one of them produced a buzzing from electrical noise. The one that worked ok was an adjustable power supply I use on a radio, but it's only 500mw. Save yourself the hassle, if you have one of these Casio keyboards this is what you want to get.

Amazing, I read all the reviews and "assumed" the problem with the wrong adapter was resolved since reviewers have complained since 2003. I ordered the Casio CTK 691 keyboard, clicked on the recommended power adapter and trusted the folks at Amazon knew which model I would need. Wrong, it doesn't fit. Since we bought this keyboard to travel this summer it has been very inconvenient, and we haven't had time to resolve it.

Good thing I read reviews prior to purchasing power adapter. Thanks to 3 of 5 reviews, I found that the adapter recommended on this website, for the model I own, is in fact the wrong one. Why hasn't this issue been resolved? (The reviews are dated from Dec. 2003 to July 2005!) - Ac Adapter - Casio - Keyboard Adapter - Keyboard'

40mm - leather tow sides belt, 40mm

Visit Store Now !!

This was a gift for my dad and he really liked it. It looks very sturdy and seems like something that will last for a long time. The only thing negative I have to say is not about the product, it's about the packaging this arrived in. It came rolled up (basically like the display picture) in a GIANT box. i had to dig thru crumpled up paper to find it. My dad still reports that this is the best belt he's had in years and that he recomends it to anybody. Columbia Mens 38mm Leather Belt With Overlay, Black, 36

The belt itself was fine, but the sizes apparently run extremely small. I made sure to order a size that was a couple inches larger than my pants' size, and the belt I got was still too small to wear. I ultimately had to return it because I couldn't wear it. But the belt itself seemed fine, not bad but nothing special.

Went to purchase this and discovered, at least today, January 23, 2011, that the size 34 belt, which I need, is $28.00 while all other sizes listed are $15.00 !!! What in the world is up with that? I'm going back to the Levi's belt, similar in appearance, for $13.00 for size 34. Liked the "Columbia" logo on this one, but I'm not paying an extra $13 to $15 to advertise for them! lol - 40mm - Kenneth Cole Reaction Belts - Leather Tow Sides Belt'

Streaming Radio - streaming radio, wireless music

Visit Store Now !!

I am a long time owner of Squeezebox products and was pretty excited to find out about the little table top Squeezebox Radio model. I picked one up and thought I would share my thoughts.

The first thing you notice is how much heft this little player has. It is really well built and the fit and finish is superb. It has plenty of weight and solid rubber feet so that it won't skid around on your night stand or table top. The screen looks great and all of the buttons have a nice solid tactile feel. Compared to many other cheap wireless network streaming radios, this device feels an entire order of magnitude better in its construction quality. The only disappointment here is the lack of back lit buttons, for using the radio in low lighting. It's also worth noting that the entire radio has a high gloss finish that will be a magnet for fingerprints. Looks great though!

The biggest challenge for most consumers with this device will be the initial set up. You need to create an account at [...] in order to set up your new Squeezebox Radio. The device uses this connection to play free internet music services as well as download software updates, etc, to the Radio. I already had a Squeezebox account so this was not a huge challenge for me, but it might be for some people who might be confused that they need to set up an account before they can use the device. There is an option to set up the account from the device itself. Don't do this (it is slow and tedious)! Go to the website and set it up in a few seconds and then just type your login and password on the device.

Other than the laborious task of entering my full email and password for [...] the rest of the setup is very easy. The Squeezebox Radio supports push to connect wi-fi set up which is common on many newer model wireless routers. It's similar to programming a garage door opener. Simply point the Squeezebox Radio at your wireless network and for 120 seconds it will try to connect with the push to connect functionality. Then just push the connect button on your router and it's automagically all set up.

Once set up the Radio will update its firmware and reboot, a process that takes a few extra minutes. After that you are good to go.

In addition to the many built in free online services, you can also play your own music through the Squeezebox Server application. I run the Squeezebox Server application on my HP EX495 Windows Home Server but you can also run Squeezebox Server on any Mac, Windows PC or even Linux box (there are even installable distributions for many Network Attached Storage units). This allows the Squeezebox Radio (and any other Squeeze players) to access all of the music on my home network. It's absolutely wonderful to be able to take the little table top radio anywhere in the home and listen to your entire music collection.

Sound quality is very good, easily enough to fill a small to medium sized room. It gets quite loud with little to no distortion and the controls are easy to use to change tracks, change volume, etc. Wireless strength is superb. I get a full signal anywhere within about 40 feet of my router, and the radio works anywhere on my suburban property with no audio hiccups or dropouts.

In addition to the intuitive controls such as "home", "play", "stop", "back", etc, the unit also features six programmable "preset" buttons similar to what you have on a car radio. Setting these up is a bit more of a challenge than you would expect. You are supposed to be able to hold these down on any song, album, playlist, etc, that is being displayed in the radio menu and have it added as a preset. Unfortunately some items don't add correctly and must first be programmed as a "favorite". It turns out that you can only add favorites for some items (such as playlists) from the Squeezebox Server web based menu, which is quite inconvenient. I don't doubt that Slim Devices (the arm of Logitech that makes these devices) will fix this soon enough.

Other minor glitches include some weird alarm behavior (it will show the time of the alarm when it is going off but strangely won't show the current time, which is annoying if you have hit the snooze button a few times and need to know what time it is), some auto dimming issues (the auto dimming works great but gets almost TOO dim in a dark room to see the radio) and a few other very minor nits.

Slim Devices have a long history of enhancement and improvement of device firmware, so I would expect a lot of these issues to be worked out in the coming months. Additionally there will soon be a battery pack and small infrared remote for the Squeezebox Radio available as a $[...] add on purchase. Personally I think at $[...] the Radio should include these items, but considering the great sound of the radio, the high quality screen and the superb fit and finish it is justified that this device costs as much as it does.

Also worth noting is that if you have an iPod Touch or iPhone you can get the iPeng application $[...] from the Apple App Store which makes controlling and programming your Squeezebox Radio an absolute breeze. iPeng is really a must have if you have these devices and want a wonderful pocket control that works from anywhere in your home. Beats the pants off of what Sonus has to offer!

//Update 1 (Nov 2nd 2009)

Yesterday my SB Radio lost all of the preset buttons which is most annoying. It also turns out that many of the requests for fixes around the alarms functionality have not been addressed and don't appear to be scheduled to be addressed in the next release or two of the software. If your primary use will be a night stand alarm clock I would recommend holding off for now until Logitech addresses alarm functionality issues. If the issues are not resolved I will reconsider my four star rating as it should then be a three star product.

//Update 2 (May 13 2010)

Logitech has not only not fixed many of the initial annoyances with the SB Radio, but newer firmware has in fact made the product less stable and reliable. It still does an admirable job of playing your local music library if you run the SB Server on a PC or Mac in your home, but the network streaming functionality seems to be having issues and I've found the alarm to be terribly unreliable. I would now under the current circumstances rate this only 3 out of 5 stars. It's really a shame too, as the "Slim Devices" that originally brought us these problems was very open and communicative about issues and what was being done to fix them. Logitech has little interest in relaying useful information to its beta testers, err, customers and instead gives us the run around with if and when issues will ever be remedied.

Lifting Gloves - weight lifting gloves, lifting gloves

Visit Store Now !!

My last pair of leather and mesh training gloves where trashed, so I shopped around and decided to replace them with these gloves. The Harbinger 1260 gloves provide ample padding for protection and comfort while providing a solid grip. The nosweat (tm) lining wicks moisture away from the skin while the curved three quarter finger design fits more naturally, improving dexterity. The gloves are fastened in place with an adjustable wrist strap. Even though the gloves are partially constructed of leather, they can be hand washed to remove salt and oils. Washing with a mild soap and air drying will help the gloves to maintain their comfort, fit and will last longer.

My workout partner uses the Harbinger 143 gloves. Compared to the 1260, the 143 are simpler gloves with less material and padding. Since they sell for about the same price, the 1260 gloves are a much better value.

PROS:

Washable

Comfortable

Durable enough for rigorous strength training

CONS:

Sizing seems slightly small in comparison to other gloves. I can get my gloves on easy and they are comfortable. They are a bit of a challenge to remove though. The next size up is too big on me. Harbinger 1260 Men's Training Grip Gloves (Black/Charcoal, X-Large)

Boy have I had a hard time finding a pair of weight lifting gloves! My previous ones were simple leather Saranac gloves, not much padding but they lasted for several years. The leather eventually rotted out forming huge holes. But I can definitely say that the Saranac gloves were awesome.

Now onto the replacement. I tried four different types of gloves.

Harbinger 143

Harbinger 1260

Harbinger 1215 Big Grip II

GoFit Diamond-Trac

The Harbinger 143 gloves were OK. They didn't have too much padding, but fit very snug and were difficult to get off. Also, the fingers were short.

The Harbinger 1260 and 1215 were both unusable due to having too much padding in the palm and knuckle area. The padding is comfortable for pressing exercises (e.g. bench press), but makes it all but impossible to do pulling exercises (e.g. pull ups, curls, deadlifts, rows, etc.). You can try them yourselves, but save some money and take my word for it.

The GoFit Diamond-Trac gloves are the best of the bunch for my needs. They have a little padding in the palm, but not enough to interfere with your grip. They are lightweight, so I'm not sure how long they'll last, but I'll reserve judgment on that. They do make my hands sweat, because the neoprene on the back doesn't seem to breathe well. They run a little larger in size than the other gloves. Also, I like that they have a finger tab to help you pull off the gloves.

Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

I've owned three pairs of these so far, and they're easily the best gloves I've ever used. I had previously only used unpadded gloves, and the padding in the palm seemed a little thick at first. The padding does make it more difficult to get a solid grip in some exercise machines that also have large rubber grips on them (lat pulldown bars, for example), but that's the trade off for excellent support and protection when using the gloves on machines with uncovered metal grips.

I found these gloves to be more durable than the other non-padded Harbinger gloves I've worn. The gloves can be safely washed and air dryed, as advertised.

My only complaint with regard to wear is that the unreinforced leather where my thumb meets the padding in the palm seems to wear out before the rest of the glove. Every pair I have owned will eventually wear a hole in this particular area.

I'm 5'11 and I weight 215lbs and I wear an XL glove. I work out with a lot of free weights and I've always found that the bar is always too small for my hands and fingers to get a good grip. Now these gloves have a lot of padding to them which makes the bar feel larger. I wish I would of new about these things sooner but I use to think they were only for people who didnt like calluses. Not only does it make the bar feel like the right size for me but it give me the perfect grip throughout my rep. Also When bench pressing I sometimes role the bar when finishing my last rep and I havent felt any pain in my thumbs like I have in the past. I think wearing these will really save not only your skin but your joints in your hands and wrist by allowing you to get into a more natural and comfortable position on the bar. Hope this helps

I've been lifting for 30 years now (ouch) and have become very set in my ways. I used to say gloves were for girls - until I snagged a new sweater by putting my arm around my girl friend way back when - I finally relented, no, I wouldn't want those hands touching me either, so I started wearing gloves.

If you do a lot of heavy pulldowns/pullups, shrugs, deadlifts and such these will work great. 3/4 Finger Length gloves are hard to find, but you will get serious calluses just below your first knuckles without them if you go heavier on back days.

These may take a little while to get used to and feel a bit bulky at first but they do break in pretty well.

I also prefer no wrist-wrap built into the glove as I find them bulky and constricting. I prefer the option of using good cotton straps when needed instead (APT Ultimate Straps).

These are pretty much the only glove out there meeting my criteria at this time.

I have tried and destroyed a lot of cheaper gloves in short order over the years and have ended up settling on these. I have used the previous versions of this glove for about 10years now, they last me about a year and I lift 5-6 days a week. For the amount of use/abuse they are an decent value though the price may be a little higher than others. - Lifting Gloves - Weight Lifting Gloves'

Childrens Magazines - ages 7 - 12, childrens magazines

Visit Store Now !!

American Girl has always been one of my favorite magazines. I started subscribing when I was about seven, and I'm still getting it now, at age 13, in addition to the typical "teen magazines." This magazine has great craft and party ideas, and stories about real girls who've had different kinds of interesting experiences. From reading some of the Amazon reviews, I've gotten the idea that some girls are upset by the fact that American Girl publishes hardly any stories about boys, puberty, and makeup, and they have too many articles on crafts and parties. However, I think the fun craft and party ideas are part of what makes American Girl a great magazine. Although pre-teen life doesn't revolve around back-to-school themed sleepovers and Christmas ornament crafts, a girl doesn't need to shut crafts and parties out of her life the day she turns twelve. If you're looking for a magazine with advice on how to put on lip liner and deal with your crush, this may not be the magazine for you. But I think there are plenty of magazines with advice about makeup and boys, and American Girl is a great magazine, even if it doesn't talk much about those topics. I think many girls will enjoy this magazine, especially those between the ages of 8 and 12 (although there are eleven-year-olds who feel to old for the magazine, and fourteen-year-olds who still read it faithfully). American Girl

American Girl magazine is geared to girls aged 7-13. Much younger than that and many girls aren't reading at the appropriate level yet. Much older and they may be ready to move on. But honestly I'm surprised to read so many reviews by 10 or 11 year old girls who feel they're too old for this magazine. I don't believe girls that age NEED magazines based solely on makeup tricks, flirting with boys, etc. AG has articles such as dealing with relationships with friends. Like when you and your best friend start to grow apart. Or when she moves away. Articles like one about a girl whose family travels around the world on their sailboat for two years. Crafts that you can actually be proud to give at the age of 10.

Several reviewer have complained that the magazine is short and expensive. It is. But here's why: there is NO advertising (short of anything American Girl related). In many magazines, advertising accounts for easily half the pages. And advertising enables publishers to sell magazines for a low cost. AG has no advertising and so has to charge a fair price to produce it. I'm more than willing to pay for that kind of publication.

Parents ordering for your daughters, you know your girl. If you've got a 10 year old going on 16, this may not be for your child. If you have a precocious 6 year old, she might like it as well. AG is the kind of magazine I'm glad my daughters enjoy.

I am a sixteen-year-old former reader of American Girl who looked forward to it every month during elementary school. This magazine (as well as the entire company's products) encourages learning, thinking, creativity, independence, appreciation of the past, love of diversity, and self-expression. Finally in a world where half the women are encouraged to just be sex toys and the other half are taught that they should be obedient, unambitious, lower-class citizens and somehow enjoy their subhumanity, there is a voice telling girls to dream big, play hard, and explore themselves and their world. Educational, entertaining, and inspiring.

I ordered this magazine for my daughter for her eighth birthday, and she loves it! She is approaching her 11th birthday and she still loves this magazine. There is something in it for girls from every background. This magazine gets my highest possible recommendation.

READ THIS! READ THIS! ..American Girl magazine is good for girls who are about 8 to 10. But older kids 10 and up should read something else like New Moon or Girls Life. The reason for this: when kids are younger they really like American Girl, because it is filled with fun party ideas and crafts, which is what they are interested in. but when girls get older, (take it from me, I am 12) they want something a little more mature that has more things they can relate to. I mean, here's your average girl, who is changing and become older and probably scared. She is afraid to talk to other people about it, but is curious. she is starting to experiment with make-up and wants to feel grown-up, but all she can get is "how to make a christmas craft"!?! When I felt this way i started reading GL, which talked about girls that are facing the same issues as me. It made me feel a lot stronger and secure about myself because I knew that I was the not the only one out there who was curious about life. Beleive me, try another magazine if you are above 10!!! If you are below 10, AG is the mag 4 u!!!

I'm a magazine major in college, and I'm studying AG this semester. I actually wanted to thank you all for your great comments on Amazon- beleive it or not, they're really helpful for my research paper!

I was a huge fan of AG as a young girl, and honstly, even at 18 I'm finding that more than just researching the magazine, I'm really enjoying reading it. This is, in my opinion, the only respectable magazine left for young girls. It will never ask you to grow up too quickly or to change who you are. It will never tell you there's a certain way to act around boys, or wear your hair, or paint your lips. It doesn't insult with dribble about scandals and celebrities. AG glorifies girls. It asks their input, and really cares about the feedback (yes, I found out from interviewing the founding editor that they actually file every piece of reader mail for future reference). I urge you to get this publication for your daughters. It is truly exceptional.

Even though I am 14, I still think American Girl is a wonderful magazine. This magazine has absolutley NO ads. However they do include little tear outs to renew or subscribe.

In this magazine, there is a spot for about 4 or 5 letters from readers. They also teach you a new word, called the "buzzword" and they hide it somewhere in the issue and you find it. AG includes true stories, awesome ideas, polls, Art Gallery, quizzes, crafts and more.

Also, in each issue, there is "Heart to Heart." Girls can express themselves. The topics range from most embarassing moments to the nicest thing a friend has ever done for them. In the back, "HELP!" is when girls send in questions, like about growing up, frendship problems, and more and AG answers them.

The average issue has about 48 pages. I would recommend this for girls ages 8-12 most, but girls of any age would enjoy it. - Tween - Childrens Magazines - Ages 7 - 12 - Kids Magazine'
