Gift Idea - sheet protectors, gift idea

I purchased these sheet protectors and I feel like they may be the ones that Avery doesn't want to sell to "non-discount" stores. They worked perfectly fine for what I needed. But they didn't appear to be cut right by the 3-ring holes. There were little pieces hanging off of them that needed to be cut. It isn't a smooth edge along that area. It did not effect the three hole punches and it did not effect the area where a paper is inserted. So it is more of a cosmetic issue.

I did not contact the company about this. I purchased other items from this company and have had no problems with them. Avery Economy Clear Sheet Protectors, Acid Free, Box of 100 (75091)

I have purchased Economy Page Protectors for years. They are a budget wise purchase, for use as protection for homework or

reports, also protection for color print copies, for future use in residence decoration and furniture, appliance, housewares and clothing purchases. Are you a Do It Yourself type? Assemble all instructions at least years in advance of needing to do the job and page protectors will keep your instructions fresh.

save the gas the mileage and get out of traffic, if you use these as i do for my autograph collection then simply buy them through amazon instead of having to deal with staples or one of those stores --- much easier...

I was very disappointed with the quality when I bought these. It says they fit 8.5-x-11-inch sheets of paper. My paper is 8.5-x-11-inch and it sticks out the top by a quarter of an inch. A few of the sheet protectors didn't even have the top open, so the paper wouldn't go in.

I ended up going to Staples and buying the Staples store brand, which are much better! :D

We have used the Avery page protectors before & had no doubts of their quality. We were not disappointed & as usual, the service as far as ordering & shipment was wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend Amazon store to friends and will definitely make it my first stop for future purchases of any type of product. - Sheet Protectors - Gift Idea'

Hardwood Floor Nailer - recommend, highly recommended

Visit Store Now !!

I'm doing a hardwood flooring with 5/8" thick mahogany solid wood on a

couple of rooms. Because the rooms are not flat (both have a couple of

steps) it took 8 days to finish the flooring and renting was as expensive

as buying one. (checked HomeDepot $35/day and another rental company $30/day)

It looks like Porter-Cable FCN200 seems to be very popular, but over $300

made me hesitant. I seriously considered Bostitch MFN200 Manual Flooring

Cleat Nailer, but after a lot of questions to Bostitch and a couple of

dealers, I found out that it can be used only fo 3/4" thick floorings.

So, I went with this pneumatic floor nailer.

I ordered the one that can be used for cleat nails only, but what I

received was for both cleat nails as well as staples, which was a nice

surprise. People said cleat nails would be more strong in terms of holding

the panels to the sub-floor and I ordered bostitch nails at amazon.

Shipping was pretty quick - delivered in 2 days from the order - and the

tools is very solid. 3-4 panels had the nails bent between the panel and

sub floor, maybe because the nailer was not placed correctly. Otherwise,

it worked pretty well.

It has several pad that can be used for different thickness of the

floorings, which was really good for me.

Overall, at this price, this cannot go wrong at all and much better

solution than renting one. Akuzuki Top Quality 2-in-1 Pneumatic Hardwood Floor Flooring Air Cleat Nailers and Stapler

I just finished my hardwood flooring project using this nailer. It turned out fantastic. This nailer is solid and durable and during the installation of about 1200 sqft, never had a single issue of any kind.

I got this instead of renting one from a local improvement store. I knew I would spend more renting given my time constraints. I used it to lay about 200 square feet of red oak. I had two misfires, but they were my fault. I ran through 1600+ nails without a jam otherwise. The build quality is not the same as the $4-500 name brand units, but it's not bad, and for me it doesn't matter how the nail gets into the board as long is it gets there. The depth in red oak was perfect, I only hand set a couple where the angle was getting awkward in a corner, and I couldn't strike the head properly.

It was leaking air at first, but tightening down the bolts with the supplied wrench took care of that (several tools are supplied). There were no torque values indicated, so I used "common sense" torque to avoid warping anything. The shoe on the bottom is maybe not perfectly square, but it was never an issue. It would probably benefit from forcing on a bicycle handle grip for comfort, mine was wrapped in a foam tape.

I intend to use this tool for two more rooms, and I feel like it was a good value. It paid for itself in the first room for me, but again, I had only a couple hours per day window to work. I would recommend this item to anyone who wants to take their time without rushing a rental clock. It performed as expected, no complaints. I used 2" Bostitch L nails, but it can handle staples as well.

No problems with the order, the shipping was quick, everything was included.

4 stars instead of 5 due to build quality imperfections, having to tighten up bolts which should have been tested at the factory.

I just received the nailer and used it for the first time this weekend to install 5/8" T&G Bamboo flooring in my son's kitchen. What I received was the dual staple/cleat nailer. After putting on the right foot plate, it comes with 2, I test fired a 2" cleat nail and found it to be too long and risked tearing off the tongue of the flooring board. I went looking for 1 1/2 inch cleat nails locally & when I couldn't find anything but the 2" size, I purchased 1 1/2" staple. I loaded the nailer with the stapes and started the job. The nailer worked great! You need to test fire a few staples to get the right air pressure and tune you "strike" force, but after that it was effortless. I had used a manual nailer previously to install about 500 sq. feet of oak flooring and there is no comparison. The Bamboo was about twice as dense as the oak and using the pneumatic nailer, the bamboo went down at least twice as fast and with less pain! The thing you want to be careful with when nailing down dense Bamboo is that it is so dense and if you are close to the end of the board or edge, you will split it. Pre-drill for yore first 2 rows and the use the nailer. Instead of nails for the first 2 rows, I opted for 1 1/2" headless screws (you can get these at any home store). They worked great & you don't have to worry about dimpling if you use a nail & miss. I'm not done with the project yet, but so far I recommend the nailer whole heartily.

I am a wood-turner that until now has never installed hardwood floors. I had the occasion to help with an installation at a dance studio and decided from that to install a hardwood floor on an addition I had planned. While searching for a pneumatic floor nailer I found this one, and after reading the reviews decided to give it a try. I was happy I did. It performed much better than the one we used for the studio and at a portion of the cost. I would like to also mention the delivery time was great. I saved more than what it would have cost me to rent one for the job and I have it to help friends and family. What a deal.

I'm not sure what I was expecting at half the price of a name brand competitor, but when it came with a carrying case with a spare base plate I was already impressed. The nailer worked flawlessly and is solidly constructed. The bottom plate is slightly longer than other floor nailers I've used so you may have to hand nail an extra row of flooring to get started, but otherwise it's well worth the money. - Highly Recommended - Pneumatic - Hardwood Floor Nailer - Recommend'

Impact Drivers - 18 volt, cordless

Visit Store Now !!

Not long ago a friend gave me an extra DeWalt 18 volt drill he'd come into. I'd been using a 12 volt Makita for over a decade, and I was impressed with how much more torque and battery life the DeWalt had. The same friend also had a DeWalt impact driver from the same series, and again, I was impressed how well this handled mechanical tasks usually relegated to a pneumatic impact driver. But even more impressive was how well the DeWalt worked for driving screws.

A few years ago, the major cordless tool makers started to come out with impact drivers which they marketed not to mechanics, but to carpenters. While today's 18volt cordless drills do a pretty good job of driving screws, they still start to bog down when driving really long screws into hard or resinous wood. The slow, stall, and eventually overheat. But impact drivers don't do this. They work on a different principle, using a motor-driven hammer to repeatedly strike an anvil that drives the output shaft. As the load increases, they switch from spinning to a rapid-fire staccato impact mode, in which every impact turns the screw a bit farther, while the motor continues to spin and bring in cooling air.

I was very pleased to discover that Amazon had a DeWalt impact driver available in a batteryless and caseless package (for those of us who already have a charger and several batteries) for about $125. I purchased mine for a mix of yard projects- this is a great tool for driving the big screws used to tie landscape timbers together- home projects, and motorcycle/scooter maintenance. And amazingly, it's even lighter and more compact than the DEWALT DC759KA Heavy-Duty 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. I'm giving away my Makita 12v drill/driver to a nephew who likes tools and gadgets, and switching 100% to the DeWalt system. Bare-Tool DEWALT DC825B 1/4-Inch 18-Volt Cordless Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery)

I bought this last year after my Black and Decker 18v drill died it's 3rd death. I got it in a 4 tool combo kit on sale at Lowes. I build haunted houses for the Halloween season so most of what I do construction wise is with rough and sometimes very old and hard woods. The woods are also made super tough (like rock) from a chemical that must be sprayed on them to make them fire retardant. I found that before, even with an 18v drill that screws would shear off before going into the boards which made it difficult to make secure connections in the wood. It is hard to make something look old and spooky and still have it be safe so having good, solid tools is a must. Right after I charged the battery I tried this tool out. Wow!! It drove a 3 inch deck screw into an old hardened 2x4 in the blink of an eye!! I had never used a tool like that. It quickly became a favorite of mine on the jobsite. I used it hard and it never once let me down. I bought it toward the end of the build so I only got to use it on a few hundred screws but never a disappointment. I'm looking forward to using on this season's build as well as in my volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone who builds.

I bought this tool to add to my dewalt collection. I have had the 18volt dill for years and did'nt think that I need an impact driver. I was wrong. I am using the impact more that the drill for driving large screws. It make the jobs much easier. The driver was shipped by a third party and I received it in just a few days. I was very impressed. This is an excellent tool if you do lots of repair work with 2 by lumber.

I have long been a loyal DeWalt costumer, especially when in comes to cordless tools like the 18v drill I purchased 6 years ago. That drill quickly became my favorite tool and has seen constant use since. In fact I was so happy with the drill that I did not see any reason to buy an impact driver, until a couple of projects I was working on required me to drive a large number of constuction screws and lag bolts. My drill was able to drive them but not as easily or quickly as I would have liked, so I decided it was time to give the impact driver a try and my only regret it that I did not buy one sooner. This driver is by far the best power tool I have ever owned. It is absolutely necessary for driving lag screws or anything comparable but also preforms so much better in less demanding tasks like running deck screws. I have discovered that it is also quite handy for boring large holes even though that is not the intent behind the tool. If you put an Irwin Speedbore bit in this thing it will chew through 4 by lumber in no time. Using the driver for boring has saved my wrist on a number of occasions as those Speedbore bits require quite abit of torque to run and if the bit binds up while using a regular drill all that torque gets transferred to your wrist. Now that I have a set of Irwin Speedbore and Spade bits plus a decent hex drill bit set my drill is relegated to drilling metal and the occasional pilot hole.

This driver is also much better at removing rusty and stripped screws than my drill, just another unexpected bonus.

Without exception this is the one tool that goes with me to every job. - Dewalt - 18 Volt - Impact Drivers - Cordless'

Go this TV two weeks ago and so far it has been working great. Replaced a 57" DLP and the picture looks amazing, deeper blacks and crisper picture (although not as bright but that was expected). Wall mounted it on a swivel mount so we could see it in the kitchen but since the viewing angle is so great we haven't really had to turn at all. I also have a two year old 42" Panasonic Plasma(85U) which is an excellent TV but this one is leaps and bound better surprisingly. Did some 3D watching and gaming over the weekend and amazed at how good it looked, now I just need to get 2 more glasses. Even the 2D-3D conversion works well on some shows, adds a little depth but not much. The VieraCast is alright, I have a HTPC hooked up already so I have only used it to see what it is like. The only one I might use is the weather app but it takes forever to update so it is kind of pointless. Overall it is a beautiful TV and I would recommend it as a great bang for the buck in the Panasonic line up. Panasonic VIERA TC-P60ST30 60-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV

[[ASIN:B004MME774 Panasonic VIERA TC-P60ST30 60-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV]

Normally I would not give out any reviews but after seeing the clarity of this TV, I could not resist to spread the word. Bought this TV after reading through various A/V forums and reviews. It is the best TV for the dollar amount. Nothing else comes close. Just follow through the calibration steps mentioned by one of the reviewer and this TV will become your neighbors/friends envy! Though I did not care about 3D capability, it was simply spectacular.

-Ebjoy

Panasonic plasma t.v.'s ROCK. Nobody comes close in plasma. This is the 2nd I have bought in a year. I put this in the media room for size reasons and could not be happier. Everything from shipping to set up was a breeze. The shipping co. even brought it up stairs and took it out of the box. Have not used 3D yet but everything else performs great. Perfect picture and love viera cast. Remember if buying plasma there is no substitute for PANASONIC.

I originally was gravitated towards LEDs, purchased a Sharp 60" LED since it was the only 60" LED in the market early this summer, but was not convinced with the pictures and although it was 240HZ, there was frequent blur. I then tried a 55" Samsung LED (mid range), and again same problems. I returned both, thanks to great retailer with a great return policy. I came to the conclusion that LED TVs are only good if you get the high end ones which would be double the plasma prices ($2700+). So, I decided to just go back to Plasma since I owned a 42" panasonic plasma and pictures were great and looked real. I was deciding between Panasonic, Samsung, and LG plasmas and was monitoring prices. I then heard that Panasonic had the best video processor and always rated higher than the others, so found a great deal and never looked back. I like that it's 3D ready. Now waiting for the prices of the 3D glasses to come down, not in a rush to get these. Speakers are fine, you can live with them, but I'm looking for other options, to provide a better experience.

I'm trying to figure out good settings for a bright room, so if anyone knows good/optimal settings for a bright room, please let me know.

So in purchasing this tv I originally had some problem with what I thought was the panel and flickering and pixels along edges and outlines of objects and people. I am changing my review to 5 stars from 3 stars to update what has transpired since the purchase.

Even with standard definition cable the image is good. Not like HD or blu-ray, but a nice image. The problem I encountered from changing from my older panasonic viera to this one was since it is HD, it noticed the lower signal strength of the cable coming into the house that the 480p screen did not really pick up.

I'm still not sure why a standard DVD player shows such a bad signal, but the Oppo 93 I just purchased was great.

I hooked up a new Oppo 93, and I have to say the picture is amazing! So rating has been changed to reflect this. Others that have the same problem, check your cable signal strength as a possible source. This screen will pick up any problem.

I guess the one thing I will say is the option that the tv has to solve this problem did not work for me, so maybe the signal strength to bad for the tv to solve internally in custom mode.

Old Review - can be disregarded. Just left to show change from 3 start to 5 star.

I purchased my 60 inch ST30 for a steal of a deal after I promised myself I would wait for a while to see how these new models were performing.

No green blob, no fluctuating brighness, none of the other concerns that people have been observing and reporting. I felt really lucky. I performed the panel prep as some sites recommend and used the calibration settings specified for custom mode.

My set is hooked up to a HD cable box, standard DVD player and a Denon AVR 891 receiver by HDMI cables, and component for the DVD.

When watching cable and movies, the outlines of objects (stationary and slow moving) have a very pixelated look to them that have a variety of colours and make the image look out of focus... Almost like the outline is flickering. So unlike a lot of reviewers I can't be happy with the PQ even when Im not being picky about a product I spent so much money on at a good price... It is not the problem some sets have for flickering with fast moving objects as my son and I were watching Barney and he was standing still at the time!

My other complaint is the hours that Panasonic Concierge service has in Canada for customer support. It is only 9 to 4:30 EST, monday - Thurs so if I'm on the west coast, as I am, I would have to leave work at 1:30 just to call when the office closes!!!! To me that is not customer support as most people watch their tvs in the evening, and can't take time off work to deal with a problem during the day!!!!! No other option besides doing that!!!!!

I will be filing a remedy ticket with Panasonic to see about fixing the problem and will edit this post if the problem is solved. - 240hz - Hdtv'

Neoprene Sleeve

Visit Store Now !!

It's not perfect, but it's a very nice protector for a netbook. The Case Logic website has a list of every netbook model that fits inside this sleeve.

I have an Aspire One with the 6 cell battery (there's a wart on the back of the computer where the battery sticks out), and the fit is virtually perfect for this sleeve. Nothing else fits in the main compartment. The padding is very nice, just about right, not too much, not too little. It feels very good in your hand.

There is an ingeneous zippered pocket on the front of this sleeve. There is a slot for devices USB - mostly a USB flash drive, but also some shorter USB wires would fit in here. The Acer A/C adapter fits in the outer pouch, but you end up with a very lumpy sleeve (a pretty big bulge where you slid the adapter.

Of course this has the nasty old vinyl / neoprene odor that goes away after a few days. You'll want to turn this inside out and air it out in a sunny location.

As a sleeve - and it's important you know this is a sleeve, not a PC case - this is a very nice protector. You can very easily toss this in a larger PC bag, or carry on luggage, and have no fear that your computer will get scratched or damaged. It will not hold papers, hard drives, cell phone, etc. Just the computer and a USB key.

My sample is black. The charcoal color with gray accents is very nice looking.

March 6, 2011 update - iPads fit in this sleeve. I've carried my iPad for the past year inside this sleeve. With no cover on the iPad, the device is pretty loose inside. I used a DodoCase and then an InCase book style cover for a while, and they both fit inside this sleeve nice and snug. I'm now using an Amazon Basics silicone case that only covers the back of the iPad. The silicone hangs up on the sleeve material, so it's a bit harder to slide the iPad in and out. But then again, the iPad doesn't shift around inside the sleeve. This combination has been on forty or fifty flights in carry on with me over the past year - not a bit of damage or problem with the iPad. When I pull the iPad out, this sleeve crumples up in the book pocket of the plane seat. Pretty darn nice. Caselogic PLS-13 Neoprene 13.3-Inch Neoprene Laptop Sleeve (Black)

I like this bag a lot. I got it for my 13'' macbook pro and it fits perfectly. It is more cushiony than other sleeves I looked at and the pocket is a great addition. It stretches to hold funky shaped things like the charger, extension cord for the charger, flash drives, cds, and more. One review I read said that the inside is a furry material... it is more of a foam material that is very soft. It won't scratch at all. This sleeve is a great buy!

I bought this case for my 14" Lenovo ThinkPad with the 9-cell battery. I wanted extra protection for when I'm carrying it around campus in my backpack.

I was pleased to find that this case fits snugly around my extended battery pack with enough room for my power adaptor and USB mouse. The outside pocket is actually a functional size, even taking into account the stretching of the case around a computer. I was also impressed with the padding, which seems denser and higher-quality than other similarly-priced laptop sleeves I have seen at retail stores.

After a lot of comparison shopping, I'm quite satisfied with this product!

This is exactly what I was looking for with the added feature of a zippered pocket. Although this is a 14" sleeve, it's perfect for my 15.4" laptop, which happens to be 14" wide. Many other reviewers seem to think that a laptop sleeve should emulate a case. Not to be confused with a laptop case or bag, a laptop sleeve is just that and is meant to provide added protection when placing the laptop in a bag or container that isn't designed to transport a laptop, such as an attache case.

Thanks to another review, I was able to get a good feel if this sleeve would fit my DELL Mini 10v with a 6 cell (bigger) battery. The sleeve fits and expands just the right amount to accommodate the Mini 10 and its bigger battery. I was worried about the bigger battery and could not find any details (except from one review for this product) that gave any hint if it work fit. Not even DELL could get me that information (which is odd). Amazon does pretty well with this thanks to customer feedback.

I think this is a nicely made sleeve that will do a good job protecting my 10v as I travel now and then. It is cheap in cost and should work for anyone needing to transport a 10v.

For me, the sleeved mini will be put into the extra compartment of a laptop backpack. This compartment does not have padding so the sleeve will do the protection.

For what I bought it for, it gets does exactly what it was purchased to do. I own a Dell M1330, and it fits my laptop like a glove. I don't have the extended battery so I can't speak for how it'd fit (although I suppose since it is elastic it would fit an extended battery), but with the regular battery it fits like it was made for my 13.3" laptop. The additional pockets are a plus, as it'll expand to fit the power plugs for most laptops and even an interior flash drive pocket which i haven't used since flash drives are attached to me key-chain.

The sleeve itself is like a thin layer of memory form like material on the exterior lined with a fabricy (new word) smooth outer coating. Zippers have a rubber grip for easy access. Inside it's lined with a semi-fur like substance that seems to have been sprayed with a anti-scratch type coating which gives it a slight grip to minimize movement.

Personally speaking, i wouldn't recommend any sleeve for distance travels, but for short distances sure. If you plan on being very mobile, a laptop bag is a MUST. I use this in addition to a laptop bag because protecting my investment is a big factor for me. Overall, it does exactly as described and comes highly recommended.'

Bike Basket - bike rack, bicycle accessories

Visit Store Now !!

This product is a net made out of 1/4" bungee cord, with four hooks. The hooks are rubber coated, so they don't scratch, and they have flared tip covers so they won't snag fabrics.

The whole assembly weighs just under 4 ounces, and it collapses to about the size of a medium size vitamin bottle, so it's easy to carry everywhere in a backpack without taking up too much room.

This net is absolutely ideal for carrying groceries using your mountain bike rack. After trying it with a grocery sack that was half full and seeing that it holds the sack absolutely rock steady, I was ready to put it to the ultimate test. I used it to return from the grocery store about 2 miles away carrying one large doubled (one inside the other) paper grocery sack that was filled right to the top with very heavy items. It held 3 half gallons of milk, two 4 lb steak packages, and two large frozen vegetable packages - 25 lbs worth of food. I put the grocery bag on the mountain rack that is mounted above the rear tire. The net went over it easily without crushing anything, but held it securely upright over every bump. The groceries never budged. After using it for a year, however, sometimes, a grocery bag will tip. The net will hold it in place, so nothing will fall out, but be prepared to stop and remount the thing. It seems to happen about one out of twenty uses.

Should you get this or panniers? (Panniers are bags or soft sided baskets that hook over the sides of your mountain bike rack) With this, everything sits in the center of the bike, perfectly balanced, and it doesn't interfere with pedaling like panniers sometimes do. And face it, the price is right - it's a real bargain, even with the shipping charges, and I received it in 3 days from Bike World USA. Coupled with a large backpack that I use to hold another grocery bag worth of lighter items, I've stopped using my car for grocery shopping in the city of San Francisco.

However, if I think about it in advance, I tend to use panniers over this net. I don't have the one in twenty tipping problems with panniers and they are a bit easier and faster to get on and off. The benefit to this cargo net is twofold, however: it's a low price starting point to seeing if you want to start shopping with your bike. But more importantly, you can keep it handy in the back of your backpack all the time. With panniers, you have to plan ahead and carry them around. It has saved my behind on more than one occasion, either because I was out without panniers, I ran out of room in the panniers, or I just needed to take a jacket off and strap it to the bike. So even if you end up using panniers like I did, this won't be a wasted purchase. I still use my cargo net all the time. I carry it with me everywhere and if I lost it, I'd buy another one.

UPDATE 3/28/11: After 2.5 years, I lost one of the hooks. If you pull hard enough the wrong way, they'll come off and somehow I must have done that and I couldn't find it. And true to my word, I ordered another one the next day. Can't live without it. Sunlite Bicycle Bungie Cargo Net, Black

Very simply, this bungie net does exactly what you'd think. It holds your stuff to the back rack on your bicycle without having to fuss with using multiple bungie cords. Since it's designed for a back rack on a bike, its shape is just what you need to secure your stuff at an excellent price. It works especially well for tying down oddly shaped loads.

The only thing I would change might be to add extra hooks to add more tie-down versatility and security.

I've owned this product for over two years. I'm writing this review because I just bought a second one.

Why I like it:

It's still completely intact. Nothing's ripped or torn yet. I use it to cover my groceries in a basket which sits on top of my rear rack.

It has 4 hooks that are permanently wrapped around the cords. The segments they wrap around are also double corded so there's more strength to prevent a cord break.

Why I don't like it:

There's nothing to put here.

This is a great item to have if you've got a backrack on your bike. I had been using bungee cords to try and rig groceries and other things to my backrack, but it was very difficult to keep everything stable. Not with this cargo net. Now I can load up on groceries and not have to worry about getting them home on my bike. The only slight negative is that the cargo net is big, so you really do need larger items to use it. This is well worth the money. - Bike Rack - Bungee - Bicycle Accessories - Cycling'

The only complaint possible is the straps won't go tight enough for an exceptionally skinny person. But other than that it's great very comfortable no pressure points. It really molds well to your body and doesn't move around much at all. I've been using it running, for doing pull ups and push ups, along with while playing basketball to help with my jump and balance. Couldn't be more pleased with it. Well worth the price, none of the other vests compare. TKO 244WV Adjustable 40-Pound Weighted Vest

I bought this so when I train I would have the extra pounds on. This vest works great and the price is great too. The adjustable weights make it great for anyone to use. The fit is tight and is great to run in.

This is a great vest, it fits very snug! The only complaint that I have is when I bend over to stretch my legs, the vest tends to come out of the straps. This could be fixed with a little more Velcro on the straps. As I am a thin man, the straps are tightened so much the strap Velcro ends up towards the right side of my body, this leaves the left side open to this problem. Other than that, which can be simply fixed this vest is great, quality is good, tight fitting, adjustable and reasonably priced.

There are many on the market, but very few are full upper body vests nor do they have the big velcro straps across the front. The velcro straps help remind you to use perfect body mechanics when working out (so ya don't blow your back out), offer great support and adjust to any size. A very secure vest, once it is in place it is not going anywhere. I use mine with my hour long cardio training, personal training sessions and workout videos. Not for a beginner, but an excellent investment for someone looking for alternatives for plateau busters.

I have tried a lot of weighted vests in my time but the TKO 20lbs or 40lbs is supperior than the others for these reasons:1. Form Fitting: It doesn't move or jostle while exercising thus helping the body keep the extra weight centered. 2. It's cushion and soft structure allows it more versitility than weight vests with bars or metal weights.3. It has the best mobility. You could do light grappling or stand-up striking with this vest.4. You can make the vest lighter or heavier depending on your preference.5. Velcro-Straps and no plastic clips that can break.No vest is better.*Get the two velcro-strapped vests it fits better.*

I am very pleased with this weight vest. I was a little concerned because it wasn't clear from the description, reviews or packaging whether or not this vest was suitable for a female. But I gave it a chance and am glad I did. I am a size 10 female and it fits comfortably. I like the velcro straps that allow for controlling the fit.. from loose to snug. I also like that the weights are "solid" and not small sand bags. My last vest started to come apart over time and those little sand granules get everywhere and can cause problems with your workout equipment (like my treadmill!) before you even realize it's happening. Anyway, this vest is a very nice quality and the weight is evenly distributed. For the first day or two there was a noticeable "chemical" smell from the material but it quickly went away. I would have given the vest 5 stars but docked it one star for the following reasons: (1) I wish there was a little more padding in the shoulders; (2) A little of the color transferred to one section of my white tee shirt (and didn't come out in the wash!) and; (3) There was a small mix-up with the tracking number and communication by the seller was "good" but not "great". None of these issues are major in my opinion and I would definitely recommend this vest! It's a nice quality and good value.

I wanted a weight vest to help me in my Insanity workouts. I've completed INSANITY: 60-Day Total Body Conditioning Workout DVD Program and INSANITY: The ASYLUM - 30 Day Sports Training Workout DVD Program, and loved both of those programs. Don't get the wrong idea, without a weighted vest, those programs still kill me. But I thought that if I could do it with a weighted vest on, then when I take the vest off, my performance should improve! Anyway, fallacy or not, I bought the vest, and going back to do Insanity with the vest has been a lesson in humility. WHen I started working out in February of this year (2011), I weighed 40 lbs more than I do now (thanks to Insanity and Weight Watchers). Adding 20 lbs of that back onto my back amazed me. How did I do this before? 20 lbs is a lot of weight. Anyway, it works great until you have to do moves on your wrists like Bronco's--the jacket wasn't meant to be worn while you are upside down. The straps are not made to secure it in that fashion. I'm planning on adding some extra straps to go around my legs or soemthign to try to secure it some more. For plain running, it is great. It fits snugly for me and I"m pleased with it. I'm thinking of trading up wards to the 40 lb vest.

Alot of weight vest do not fit well. Some of them hang loose on the sides but TKO made this with quality in mind and fitting.

You look like you are wearing a bullet proof vest instead of a flabby weight vest flapping side by side when you run of do pull ups.

I recommend buying this weight vest only, don't risk your money buying any other vest that might not fit you very well.

I am a Fit Build 5'9 about 170 lbs. I use this for Pull ups, push ups, and running.

Got this one a couple weeks ago from Amazon. Not much in terms of packaging or manuals, but hey it's a vest.

The fit and finish feels really well made I can tell this is going to last a long time. I was worried I would want more weight, but 20lbs seems just about right. My advice for people using this for jogging or sprinting etc. is to warm up plenty and don't feel you need to use the vest the entire workout. The added weight adds pressure on your knees so they may need some time to build up to the weight.

Overall I am very happy with it and look forward to using it. I feel like the terminator with it on. - Conditioning - Weight Vests - Exercise - 40 Lb Weight Vest'
