Bike Mount - garmin 305, bike mount

Visit Store Now !!

There are a few reviews on here that mention using this product with the Forerunner 305, but I wanted to make sure I posted a review to state specifically that yes - the Forerunner 305 fits on this perfectly (even though the description says Forerunner 405 and Forerunner 50).



I initially looked at the Forerunner 305 Quick-Release kit, but the horror stories of the device popping out of the wristband or bike mount quickly scared me away. With this mount, you can keep your 305 on its original wrist-strap, and feel more secure on your bike as the strap is wrapped around the mount. Garmin should abandon that Quick-Release kit and just use this as their mount for all their Forerunners.



One note - you do have to rotate the mount downward to see the 305 screen in an optimal position, but this hasn't affected the GPS reception at all. Garmin Forerunner Bicycle Mount Kit

This is a handy accessory, I didn't bother doing the plastic tie-ons, when the watch is buckled around it, it stays on fine (However, I don't leave my bike in public, so I don't have the worry of things getting stolen from the bike).



It's much easier for me to see the Garmin on the handle bars as I'm not coordinated enough to bike with one or no hands. (Yes, I'm a beginner, I just started biking in May 2009).

This bike mount is not made for larger diameter handlebar tubes such as on my Cannondale CAAD9-5. It would be nice for them to publish more information about what diameter tubes that this is made to fit around. It is made of seemingly good quality soft rubber so will fit around almost any size bar, but will become too large for the stiff wrist-strap of the Garmin 405 (but may not be a problem for the 305).

I am using this with my 405 and it works pretty well. I only have two complaints. First it was a bit awkward to get it on so that the large end of the zip tie was inside the end, where it is cut out. I wanted to do this though so that the sharp end where the tie was cut off didn't cut into the watch band. Second, the little part that sticks out and says garmin. It doesn't seem to really serve any purpose (I am not sure that it would really help hold the watch on) except making it harder it get on and off. I have it on my aero bars.

This handle bar mount works well with my Forerunner 305 (mounted to an early vintage Stump Jumper without any suspension). I have a bunch of other stuff on my bars (Garmin Etrex Vista HCx, and a Cannondale speedometer), so I appreciated the simple and space saving design. I think I saw another review that suggested that it would be nice to have the ability to "flip the screen" upside down on the forerunner series so that the antenna was pointing up while on the bar mount, and I concur. However, that being said, I have not been able to measure any appreciable error while mounted right next to the Etrex Vista (which has the antenna pointed in an optimal orientation). It is really nice to have the Forerunner mounted to the handle bars rather than my wrist while mountain biking! It leaves my hands and wrists free to wipe sweat, and deflect branches. It is possible to work the buttons (imposable when on your wrist while riding), and I'm counting on the fact that the Forerunner will be less likely to be damaged in a crash when mounted to the bike rather than my body (as yet untested). I would recommend this product to a friend.

I had difficulty trying to mount the 405cx on my road bike with this. As mentioned in another review, because of the stiffness and shape of the 405cx, it could not fit around the mount because the mount itself became too large to wrap the watch around. I ended up cutting out the thick inner arch on the the non-Garmin side; despite doing this there was no problem using the included ties (to keep the mount on the bike while the watch is not on it). Now my watch fits securely and neither the mount nor the watch slip.

This is a simple rubber block that provides a mounting bracket for any of the Garmin (or, I suppose, any other make) GPS watches on bicycle handlebars so the requirements are pretty low.



It does what it's supposed to. It fits handlebars from 25.4 to 31.8 mm in diameter and holds my Forerunner 305 firmly in place. I didn't use the included zip-ties to clamp it in place since I use the 305 on several different bicycles but it works fine without them.

This is a simple, easy to install accessory for holding my Garmin 305 in a convenient location during my rides. You just attach it with the two zip ties to the handlebar and put on your Garmin just like putting on your wrist

easily attaches to bike handle bar with two cable ties. garmin attaches to mount using wrist strap as in attaching to the wrist. mount keeps garmin firmly attached. very simple and easy to attach and remove garmin. - Bike Mount - Garmin 305 - 305 - Garmin 405'

Wow what can I really say other than this was the most meaningful gift that caught my eye and my heart told me that it would be an Awesome gift for my Angel. The fact that this Pendant is made of Sterling Silver was an added bonus because Silver or White Gold are her favorites. In addition the size of this pendant and the length of the chain were and added Bonus. What made this even more special are the words "A True Friend Reaches for Your Hand But Touches Your Heart" now if you only knew the True meaning behind these words... To have someone come into your life two years ago & make such a Positive impact, at the same time help to change the outlook in your future. Well to say the least this was meant for my Angel who has been a true Blessing since the day she arrived. Sterling Silver "A True Friend Reaches For Your Hand But Touches Your Heart" Ribbon Heart Pendant, 18"

Purchased as a gift. The chain is a bit wimpy, but strong enough to support the pendant for occasional wear. If one is going to wear this often, or not remove it at all, I'd recommend a stronger chain.



The pendant is beautifully done. The heart is at least an inch wide, perhaps a bit more in height. (Sorry, already wrapped it for gift so I can't measure it now). The heart is hefty, excellent quality and is highly polished; the inscription is deep and dark enough to be easily read. One must turn the heart over and sideways to read the entire sentiment, but the words are clear, not squished together.



Just a beautiful pendant with a heart warming sentiment. Would like to see more of this pendant with a variety of sentiments available.

I ordered two of these thinking they would make great Christmas presents for out of town friends. Thanks to Amazon's fast delivery (reason for the one star rating), they arrived in time for me to see they would not do. The pendants were pretty, but the engraving was so tiny it was impossible to read which defeated the reason for buying. I sent them back.

I just love this necklace, especially the sentiment, even though you can't read it easily since it twists around the necklace. The quality is nice and the chain is nice too. The chain got a little kinked in the bag, but stored properly, I don't think that would occur. It wasn't a permanent kink either. It did straighten out just fine. Nice size pendent. A perfect gift for a good friend.

Really loved the item; it arrived on time, well packed and presented in a beautiful blue box and pouch. It was a little smaller than I thought it would be and the chain was a little shorter than I imagined, but I'm sure if I had actually used a tape measure to view the measurements provided I wouldn't have been surprised. Really lovely though!

I ended up returning this necklace. The charm is bigger than it looks in the picture, and really was too big to wear. The quality seemed OK, so if you are looking for a big charm necklace, you might like this. Not to my taste though, so I didn't want to give it to a friend. - Friendship - Great Gift Idea - Gifts For Girlfriends - Friendship Pendant'

Unlocked Blackberry Storm - unlocked blackberry storm, blackberry bold

Visit Store Now !!

I did the iPhone 3G & 3GS. I did the Motorola Droid. I came back to the smartphone that started it all.



my (AT&T)iPhone randomly dropped calls. My (Verizon)Droid randomly deleted email accounts. Both featured poor phonecall voice quality: The Droid's voice quality was acceptable in the sticks, but horrible where I live & work (downtown Chicago). The iPhone was horrible everywhere. Battery life was dreadful for both.



Frustrated with it all, I came back to the Blackberry; the first smart phone I ever owned (courtesy of my employer at the time).



It just works and works well. My iPhone/Droid could barely make a phonecall from my office. My 9780 can make phonecalls from within its elevator. My Blackberry's battery lasts days whereas my Droid & iPhone could barely make it through a single work day.



Most people have no clue that I am on a cell phone until I tell them so. I don't know if this is a credit to the Blackberry or T-Mobile but, needless to say, I've found my ideal phone & service provider combo for the next two years.



-Battery life is incredible and it charges quite rapidly

-The new Blackberry OS is snappy and attractive and very configurable

-Accessories are far cheaper than those for iPhone/Droid

-light, thin and small. Perfect for your front pocket, but comes with an attractive holster also.

-Love the all black body. Not a huge fan of the fancy trim found on other phones.



NOTE: I also accidentally dropped it in a cup of hot tea (full submersed) the first week I owned it. Amazingly, after pulling the battery and allowing the liquid to drain, it still worked, albeit with a finicky touchpad and a screen that blinked at random times. I let it dry completely for 4 hours and everything was as good as new afterwards. BlackBerry Bold 9780 Phone (T-Mobile)

this probably the best, and the most expensive phone I've ever owned. I've had a few other phones for T-mobile, (sidekick, samsung comback and smiley, and gravity, and two nokia music xepress phones) but The blackberry beats em all.



Im a first time user, and I gave to say that I love it so far. The new OS that come with it is fast, (faster than my bros BB, which carries the previous OS), the qwerty keeyboard is nice and easy to type with. THe 5 MP camera/ video recorder is awesome too. And the screen... nice a crisp!



It also come with a few other perks, an mp3 player, email, IM messenger, social apps and many other cool apps I can't even get into detail with. BUY THIS PHONE! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

This is my second Blackberry. Upgraded from the old BB Curve 8560. Love the new OS 6 and universal search mode. New camera upgrade is great with useful settings. The MP3 sound quality is wonderful. Screen is crisp. Battery lasts for days and I am a heavy user. Love my BBM and its new upgrades too. I thought of switching to ATT for the BB Torch but found it to be sluggish. I like the ability to be able to surf and use this phone one handed when I need too. I have been with TMo since 2002 and am sad that ATT has bought it over. My husband has ATT and it has poor customer service at a higher price. The Blackberry will also play MP4 format songs which works well since both my children have iTouches and we can share music. As for the screen size, I am able to read books using the BB Kindle app with ease. This is solid, well built and efficient phone. There are more apps now and our favorite is the shared shopping list that works for both Android (my husband) and my BB. Makes grocery shopping a breeze. Hope this helps. You can also share Kindle ebooks with the various Apple and BB devices. - Blackberry Bold - Unlocked Blackberry - Blackberry Storm - Unlocked Blackberry Storm'

I love this book! It's been helpful in understanding what level of thought goes into each step of the design process, including how to approach different design scenarios! As a student, I totally recommend it to other students and those who are just curious!

[...] Interior Design Course: Principles, Practices, and Techniques for the Aspiring Designer (Quarto Book)

I bought this book my second year of design school. I found it useful in that it gives an overview of the entire deign process. I follow this process in every studio course that I take. It is a very graphically beautiful book as well.

This was a great product. I bought it for my bestfriend who is an interior design major. It's great for college students because it teaches one how to build their portfolio and resume. It is perfect for anyone pursuing a career in interior design. It also works for those who just want to learn more about design and want to decorate their space.

I was glad that this book was on sale, it was not what I hoped. The images and layout were ok, but the information was just too basic not worth the purchase. This book might be good for someone that is in high shool or that age range. The knowlege was common sense.

This book contains nothing that I expected based on the description. I should have read the other reviews before purchasing. I can't even use it as a coffee table book. To be fair, I don't know how good this book is because it had very little to do with what the description provided. Perhaps a seasoned professional might find it of interest.

This book is not what I expected at all... I its nothing of interest... I think I have learned more about that in a wonderful spanish magazine "El Mueble" the thing is that I cant find it here in the States...'

Planer Stands - planer stands, dw735

Visit Store Now !!

In all likelihood the first reaction of someone considering the purchase of the DW735 Planer is going to be that the stand is simply too expensive. And it is dear. I didn't buy this table at first, but used a standing table I had in the shop. The only problem was that moving the planer about in a small shop rapidly becomes a weightlifting exercise. The DW7350 is the heaviest of the portable planers. To solve this DeWalt as brought out this heavy-duty, rigid table that moves easily on its casters. Once you break down and decide to purchase it you are going to wonder why you didn't have it right from the start. Mine came with a midway shelf, which doesn't appear in the picture. Working height is excellent. Assembly is pretty straightforward as well. DEWALT DW7350 Planer Stand with Integrated Mobile Base

I received this mobile planer stand for Christmas and I am very pleased with it. The packaging was adequate and the assembly instructions were basic and easy to follow. Working alone I had this stand assembled in about 45 minutes. I was amazed that all of the pre-drilled holes were precisely where they needed to be. None were off even a little bit! Although the picture here on Amazon shows this planer stand without the (included) lower shelf installed, I went ahead and installed mine. I think this is a great feature to include with this product as it adds an extra storage spot and it also adds rigidity to the stand (although it felt very sturdy anyway). For now I have put my Delta planer on the stand and am pleased with the utility of this product. The only thing I can think of that could be improved a bit, and this is minor, is the particle-board top of the stand. I felt it was a bit undersized and also a bit too thin. If I were redesigning this tool I would have made the top twice as thick to add strength as well as weight to cut down on vibration. As I said though, this is a very minor criticism. Overall I highly recommend this mobile stand as a quality product and a good value for the money!

This is a rugged, sturdy table for benchtop type of planer. You wouldn't wnat to run 12" 8/4 board through it without using a roller stand on both sides lest you risk tipping the planer stand over. But otherwise, it's a very useful item.



If you asemble one, follow the descriptive text for assembly, noting the letters used to denote each part (washer "P" or "O", etc. IF you do that, asembly shouldn't be difficult.



I found the that the bolts for attaching the planer to the stand were bagged separately from the other nuts and bolts so there was little chance of using the wrong bolts.



I used a 1/2" wrench and a 1/2" socket without any problems. You do need a socket for tightening some of the nuts.



Assemble in a clean area; if you drop a nut or washer, you want ot be able to find it as there are just enough of each parts, including nuts, bolts and washers to put the stand together. Don't count on there being spares if you drop one into the pile of waste cuts you haven't gotten around to picking up.



I find that the top panel is more than sufficient for it's purpose. Some have said that it could be thicker, but the weight of the planer rests near the perimeter so you shouldn't expect to notice any flexing in use. Also, near the perimeter, the panel rests on front, back, and side bars, which at the top extend several inches toward the interior.



A plus, the panel is predrilled and marked for the DeWalt planers, although you can countersink and drill holes to hold other benchtop planers.



The stand is rigid and uses lockwashers on all of the nuts where lockwashers would matter. I expect to get a long useful life from this stand, and I know my back is going to appreciate it. ;-)

I would give a 5 star rating except for two problems in the assembly instructions. First I do not recommend mounting the foot pedal inside the frame. You cannot get to it with your foot. Secondly the longest bolts do NOT mount the wheels. Instead use the next shorter ones provided. The longest bolts are what work to mount the planer to the stand.



One last item, I also purchased the extention plates. It would have been nice to know in the stand assembly instructions the planer cannot be mounted to the stand BEFORE you install the extentions.



The above mis-information added about two extra frustrated hours to assembly.

This is a very substantial stand for the 735 planer. The package comes complete with all of the nuts, bolts, washers, and screws needed for proper assembly. The overall workmanship is excellent (no unfinished or rough edges or corners - a typical fine DeWalt product).



The negative aspects of this stand involve the lack of coherent directions for assembly. All of the nuts and bolts are metric (no mention of this in the assembly instructions), the assembly of the footstand for elevating the entire planer stand is left to the imagination of the assembler, the placement of the feet is vague, and the length of the shoulder and carriage bolts in the various applications is left to trial and error.



Making the assembly instructions more user-friendly would greatly enhance the rating level of this product.

A good solid stand for a planer. However, the assembly instructions suck.

1. Nuts and bolts are really 13 mm, not 1/2".

2. Very poor illustration.

3. The foot pedal is a hazard mounted 'outboard'. It is much better mounted 'inboard' and actually functions better in that position. To make the foot petal easily usable 'inboard' you must reverse the actual foot petal on the pre-assembled unit. Remove the retaining clip (split ring pliers do not work, use a screwdriver) and just reverse (180 degrees) the petal.



All parts will be used with none left over, so read the instructions carefully. - Planer Stands - Dw735 - Dw7350 - Dewalt'

Vehicle Mounts - garmin nuvi, suction cup

Visit Store Now !!

Left my previous suction cup + bracket in a rental. Purchased this item and just received it. It comes in a Garmin box ("Authentic Garmin Accessory") and comes complete with suction cup and bracket. Exactly as pictured. As indicated on the box, it fits the Garmin 200/205 series. Garmin Suction Cup Mount

I received only the suction cup mount, but not the bracket shown in the picture, my order looks like item 010-10747-00 from Garmin, which is only the mount. This obivously makes the mount useless, since I'm purchasing this mount to replace one that was stolen. I'm still trying to figure out if it was a mistake from Amazon, or the item does not come with the bracket. I would rather have purchased this directly from Garmin, since now Amazon is giving me headache and money loss from having to return the item for refund.

Garmin Suction Cup Mount (010-10936-00)

I know a lot of people had a concern about whether this ships with the bracket. I was anxiously waiting for the product to arrive since I wasn't sure if the bracket was included...worry no more the package just arrived and it included the bracket as well. It's in Garmin packaging, just need to stick it on the windshield and see if it stays on as well as the one I just misplaced in a rental car.



Vevek

The suction cup works fine, however, this suction cup mount is only for certain nuvi devices, something that is not made clear in the product description. It works with the 205w, 200w, 205 and 200 series. I have a 350, and the antenna flap cannot be put in the horizontal position with this mount.

If you're having problems with the suction cup, be sure to clean the rubber suction cup, as film from the windshield will accumulate and the unit can fall off the window.

Also, if the suction cup is applied near sea level and you drive into the mountains, don't be surprised if the unit falls off.

Before buying this product, I read some earlier reviews stating it was a knock off and not a Garmin product, you don't get the suction cup, you don't get everything pictured, etc. All of those reviews are pure garbage. It is a Garmin product, and you get exactly what is pictured. The only thing you don't get (and you should) is slapped for leaving the original in the rental car.

No sooner had I mounted the new garmin GPS in my car than the rubber suction cup cracked rendering this whole device worthless. It lasted me all of 15 seconds before it failed. I felt totally ripped off. - Vehicle Mounts - Garmin Nuvi - Suction Cup - Friction Mount'

Random-orbit Sanders - sander, dewalt

Visit Store Now !!

Let me start by saying that I have LOVED all my Dewalt tools. But, this sander sucks! At least the one I received. I have an eight year old DW 421 ROS that has served me well with my only complaints being the rubber sealed switch that has always been tempermental and it being underpowered. I have been shopping for a new ROS for a while now with variable speed and more power being two requirements. The highly rated Porter Cables never quite felt right in my hands and the Bosch sanders seemed to have too much vibration when in use. I was excited to see the ad about the new Dewalt sanders- bigger motor, cool new look, and it is a Dewalt!...I was on the list to receive one of the first ones. It finally came, it looked a little plasticy, but still cool. I plugged it in and turned it on (same lame sealed switch but not worn out like my old one) and the sander came to life- it had a wierd high pitched kazoo-like sound that had me concerned but I was going to see how it sounded in action. The variable speed control was really hard to turn, but I suspect that would get easier as it wears.



I put on a new 150 grit sheet and tested it out. It didn't feel good in my hands, the top was big and odd shaped. The high pitched vibration sound was still there. It sanded as well as my old sander but not better. I decided to do a three way comparison with my old DW421 2.0 amp, my friends Bosch 1295 DVS 2.2 amp, and the new D26453K. The Bosch had both Dewalts beat on build quality and power when sanding but without the CFS it just doesn't sand as well (I think what I'm sensing is consistent pad speed on and off the wood that the CFS provides for the Dewalts) The Bosch had more vibration than my old Dewalt but less than the new one.

The pad on the new Dewalt stalled as easily as my old one and as I previously mentioned I couldn't tell that this sander was more powerful. I could not rotate the variable speed switch with my thumb while operating it- too stiff. And that horrible sound!!

I'm sure I got a less than perfect copy, but I am still disappointed in Dewalt for either poor quality control or if they are all like that, for a sucky new ROS. DEWALT D26453K 3 Amp 5-Inch Variable Speed Random Orbit Sander Kit with Cloth Dust Bag

I purchased this random-orbit sander to finish a huge porch. This machine is not heavy and is easy to use(I'm a retired woman). I was pleased with the results. There are no sand marks because of the random-orbit rotation. My son in law has borrowed it and likes it too. Before I bought this sander, I used a friends which was another brand. His was heavy and much harder to use. It is easy to go to one of the home building stores to get the replacement sand paper but cheaper to buy it on Amazon. I used this machine a lot and made the mistake of not changing the sandpaper one time and ruined the underneath side but was able to buy a replacement locally. This sander was shipped immediately and arrived in pristine condition. I think it does such a good job that I am planning to finish my dining room table with it.

This is a great sander. Much better than my Porter Cable. My only wish is that it would have a little longer cord. It doesn't hurt my hands to use this tool. I would buy it again. The dust collection system work great and is easy to clean out. A little comprssed air and the unit looks like new.

I purchased this sander to do edges and touch-up spots for restoring some hardwood floors. This job required hours of work, but the machine kept up with it quite handily. Even after over 3 hours of continuously using it, my hand was comfortable and the machine was cool to the touch. It did not clog once during the entire project both using the vacuum or just the bag.



If I were pressed to mention flaws, there are two that come to mind: the power switch and the vacuum adapter. The power switch is very finicky, both in that it is hard to quickly reliably switch power manually and that it is easy to accidentally switch power. The vacuum adapter is built in which is great, but it does not seem to hold the end of my vacuum (Ridgid WD4070 4 Gallon Portable Vacuum) very well on its own, relying on the suction of the vacuum to do the "fitting".

I purchased this sander to help out with drywall sanding of joint spackling compound in a townhouse remodel. It worked great for that purpose. You will need to detach the small dust bag that comes with the unit and attach the suction hose of a vacuum cleaner to it. Of all choices of vacuum cleaner I used a Rug Vacuum Cleaner - The Hoover Windtunnel Floor Upright. Albeit that vacuum cleaner didn't lead to the most convenience it was the only vacuum I had and it worked pretty well as long as you were patient to move the vacuum as you sanded. The dust was held down considerably with the vacuum attached. In my opinion, the sander was easy to control and the dust was vacuumed away sufficiently. Be careful to make sure the vacuum hose stays attached because the sander itself will spew the materials out the back all by itself. Since there is a lot of noise with both the sander and vacuum on at the same time you will have trouble hearing the hose come off. I had no problems with the ON/OFF switch or weight of the unit. It was a little heavy but it is also a very rugged model. Sandpaper for it is sold both at Home Depot and Loews. I'd by the economy pack to stock up. The carrying case it comes with can store the sandpaper. I had owned a square vibration sander prior to this one that shook my hands way too uncomfortably. This model is pretty smooth. It probably has a lot of uses other than drywall but if that's your purpose - it works great for that. I'm happy I purchased it. It was worth the cost to me. Good Luck.

I researched this tool for months. I finally met some folks who actually have this model as well as other brands in their shops. Everyone said they preferred the Dewalt. Overall feel of the machine and the work accomplished made the Dewalt their ROS of choice.

I bought one of my own. I totally agree! My first job was restoring an antique drop leaf table. (there so many layers of paint and dings, I wasn't sure there was even wood underneath.) The variable speed come in handy for fine sanding. I borrowed two other brands from my friends, they don't compare to the Dewalt. I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a great ROS.
