Usb Female To Female - interconnects, road warriors

I purchased this kit because I'm tired of having to buy a separate cable for every gadget i buy. I needed this one to connect my new printer to my laptop, although the plastic part of the male head of this kit was way too wide for my printer so i had to cut the sides with a knife.. There is supposed to be some standard to it but well.. Other than that it's a great compact kit and comes with a pouch (i have just seen even more compact ones out there that have retractable cables.. just so that you know) GE 6-In-1 USB Cable Kit

Although the kit had 6 pieces like it claimed, none of the pieces were what I needed. I bought this product because I lost my USB cable for my GE E850 digital camera and couldn't transfer pictures to my computer. The kit did not include a piece that fit into my camera.

Four stars instead of five because of the product description on amazon (2011-04-23). These plugs will not satisfy "all your USB needs". Certain manufacturers use non-standard connectors for some of their products (e.g., some Panasonic cameras). The bottom line: ensure you understand exactly which type of USB plug you will need...

"B Male" adapter grip/handle is not "industry standard". Wrong shape. Wrong size. Prevents adequate insertion to many devices. (IE popular HP All-In-One 8500.) Flaw left me printerless until I could get a file and reduce handle size. Have several USB "B Male" cables at home location due to adapter's popularity. All have the standard smaller grip. All work.

Excellent concept!!! Engineering goof! - Interconnects - Usb Female To Female - Road Warriors - Universal'

Dewalt Nailer - nail gun, finish nailer

Visit Store Now !!

... I am a general Contractor and I build mostly new construction houses and specialize in finish trim. I've used various different trim guns, some like the Porta-Cable, Duo Fast, and Senco, in my opinon are to bulky and heavy or are just not layed out well especially for a left hander. Recently I had a bostich 15 gauge angle gun that was oiless and seemed designed very well but it lasted less then 3 months, I had it replaced and the next one the drive pin broke in less then 8 months. By this time Dewalt had their gun out and I was tired of replacing the Bostich. I liked the look and feel of the Dewalt gun so I decided to give it a try, so far I have not been disappointed!! The weight of the Dewalt is just right and probably one of the lightest in its class. One writer says they tested the weight of the Bostich and the Dewalt and the Dewalt was "so much heavier". Even if their scale was right believe me you won't feel it. A few writers have complained about the fireing of this Dewalt. To this I say, if you can't handle the bump and fire trigger change it with the other trigger provided by Dewalt, but for the professionals, like myself, who have to use this gun all day it is one of the best features of the gun and one I look for. When needing to nail a lot of base or crown the time and effort this feature saves is great. The depth setting is very easy and accessible and the unjaming is easy. Maybe the simpless and yet best thought out feature of this gun is the belt hook. Try climbing a 24' extension latter with crown in one hand and a nail gun in the other just a few times and you will know what I am talking about. Loading the gun for the first time can be intimidating to some people especially if you haven't read the manual, maybe that is why some have complained about it. Really though, it give you more versatility then most guns. You can load it first and then pull the spring back, or pull the nail spring back, lock it, and then load the nails. The only reason I didn't give this gun a 5th * is that I have not had enough time with it to truly prove its durability. I have found one thing that troubles me and maybe it is just this particular gun, or the genaric nails I tried using, or even my fault for letting a little rust get on it, but from time to time it will not fire a nail. It seems that the spring may not be pushing the nails to the head enough, however I did not notice this in the begining so it may be a problem caused by something and not the guns fault at all. So far, over all, I have found this gun to be the best I have used, other then this problem. The line of sight is great, the safty boot cover is one of the best and does not seem to come off or get in the way as so may do. The popular Senco nails seem to work a little nicer then the Bostich nails of my old guns as well, but maybe thats all in my head! To sum it all up, this trim gun is another great offering by Dewalt, and I think if those who have had doubts take alittle more time to get to know their gun they would find it works!!! and works well!!! DEWALT D51275K 1-1/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer Kit

I own both this gun and DeWALT's 18 ga. nailer. I have owned and used this gun for 2 years and have nothing but praise. It's funny, Home Depot used to carry these but gave up because so many people refused to change from other brands. Too bad for them!!! This gun is light but strong. A previous review had indicated that nails are difficult to find. What? This gun accepts all 15 gauge finish nails. Believe me I have used them all. I have run countless nails through this gun and have never had any issues with it.

Some features that I like:

1.The magazine is very easy to load.

2. Indexed depth setting is easy to use and requires no tools.

3. I can adjust the exhaust airflow to any direction. This is nice so it doesn't blow a piece of sawdust into my eyes.

4. If you jam a nail you can open up the firing head without the use of tools to free the squished nail.

I have used this gun on 6 inch crown molding, baseboard, installing doors and cabinetry. I have no complaints. I have no suggestions to make it better. It's perfect as far as I am concerned.

Update: add another year of use to this nailer. Still works flawlessly.

I have been a General Contractor, Trim Carpenter & Cabinet Builder throughout my 16 years in the industry and have used a lot of different nail guns. Out of all of the 15ga nailers I've owned (senco, bostich, porter), this is truly the best of the best. Just the feel of the gun is very impressive to say the least, whatever the weight. This nailer is VERY easy to use, even at 120 psi the depth stop does it's job, more than I can say for my porter, which I GAVE away after using this for a while. I've been through about 6 boxes(18000) of Senco nails and yet to have a double-tap with the bump-action trigger and it hasn't jammed even once, not quite the record with the senco or bostich. This gun sinks the nail-heads consistently and has NO kick when driving through knots. And the fact that the no-mar foot doesn't leave it's "initials" in Redwood was outstanding! I would recommend this DeWalt 15ga Nail Gun to anyone who has the need or desire for one.

The reviewer from Virginia which gave this tool a poor rating (*)does not understand how the trigger safety or the loading mechanism works. May be he should read the manual. I have owned many different brands of nailers of various types and as a finish carpenter I feel this is the best It has the clearest view of the nail target, that is a safey feature, is the best out there because it is open in front even with the rubber cover on the tip. Professionals rarely complain about a bump trigger(you still have to hold the trigger and depress the tool to fire?) and besides they give you a sequential trip too! Oliless would be nice but it may have a longer life as a lubricated tool. Also it uses the most common senco type nail. You cannot go wrong with this item. - Finish Nailer - Dewalt Nailer - Finish Nailers - Nail Gun'

Hd Camcorder - avchd, hdmi cables

Visit Store Now !!

The Mediabridge 5' Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable is a well made and solid cable. This cable worked flawlessly to connect my HD Video Camera to my HD TV at 1080i (highest supported by my camera). The price was reasonable for a cable of this quality.

Recommended for the price and functionality of this cable.

****Updated September 9, 2009****

Would update rating to 5 stars - Mediabridge contacted me about my cable that was sent without filters and replaced it at no cost. That is seriously good customer service! Mediabridge - High Speed Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable - Category 2 Certified - 5ft

This is a very sturdy and well made cable. Hooked up my Flip Ultra HD camcorder to a HD LCD TV and the picture was perfect. As another has mentioned the cable is stout but the five foot length makes it easy to use so its not an issue to me. This seems like a quality item and should last a long time with normal use.

Have not been able to use this yet. The end on the micro HDMI side is nice a beefy, but that is a problem when getting this to work with the Optoma PK301 pico projector. The HDMI end is too fat to plug in while the projector power cord is plugged in. I will need to find another cable.

I went to my local electronics mega-store to buy a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. They had one. It was $69.99. For less than another couple hundred bucks, I could buy another camera. We're just talking about a stinkin' cable here. Needless to say, I didn't make a purchase there. I came to Amazon and found this cable. For less than $10 I was soon watching HD video and looking at fantastic pictures on my HD LCD.

The length is just about right for being able to hold the camera and not have to stand right next to the TV. It is pretty rigid, so don't expect to roll it tightly and stuff it in a bag. It will easily roll into a 3-4 inch roll. Roll, roll, roll. There, I said it three more times.

Great cable, great price.

I saw a few reviews that made me think twice about ordering a non-Canon brand mini-HDMI cable. I have the EOS T1i and it works great! There is an incredible difference over the RCA cable that came with the camera. For $10 you will be pleased with the quality of viewing your pictures on a HDTV.

I had recently bought a Canon 5D Mark II and in its manual Canon mention HTC-100 cable to be used to watch the HD output from Camera on a HDTV. I bought two Canon HTC-100 cables and tried on my new Samsung LN46A650 and both of them did not worked. The quality of the Canon HTC-100 was really bad.

Then I got this wonderful cable. First try; and the amazing HD images from the camera were on my HDTV. Thanks to Mediabridge.

Bought this for my Canon and it works flawlessly. Construction quality is excellent. However, like the other reviewers have pointed out - no in-line filters, which is no big deal.

The cable I got has 26AWG printed on it and I didn't think they were too thick.

Price is good - specially when you consider how much Monster people like to charge. No need to go crazy on cables - this is the right cable at the right price.

Just a heads up that this product is not for the Droid X's HDMI out.

I ordered this mistakenly, as I thought the Droid X had a mini-HDMI out. However, I have since learned that the Droid X has a micro-HDMI out.

As for this product, although I did not ever use it (I actually returned it and took the hit for return shipping), the cable seemed well built and would have been great if I had something that required a mini-HDMI.

In hindsight, I probably should have just hung onto this cable and used it down the line here when I get an HD camcorder.

Awhile back I purchased an Mediabridge HDMI cable and was impressed by the quality and performance of it. This product does not disappoint. Excellent construction and performance as before. Mediabridge has become my standard cable product line. - Hd Camcorder - Hdmi Cables - Hdmi - Avchd'

hardwood floor nailer - hardwood floor nailer

I used this stapler to put down ~400ft^2 of engineered hickory flooring. It was easy enough to setup. The adjustable cleat has lots of degrees of freedom, but once I set it up, it never moved or required any adjustment throughout the job. I like that the safety won't engage when the clip is empty preventing dry-fires. The drive depth was consistent from start to finish. I have an adjustable regulator on the hose end and once I dialed it in, I never had to touch it even after starting/stopping over multiple evenings. Though the magnesium makes it light, it still feels solid and well built. I'm happy with my purchase. Bostitch EHF1838K Engineered Hardwood Flooring Stapler

Worked for about ten feet of BR-111 5/16" thick chestnut flooring before dying on me. Trigger wouldnt pull and nose was stuck in. My PSI was set at 62 pounds, the staples used were the ones that came with the kit and I set up the gun quickly using the supplied directions. Called Bostitch for support and they directed me to an authorized warranty center (Apollo Power Equipment in Niles Illinois) to have the gun looked at. Went there at 10:15AM and left about 11:30 with the gun fiddled with but NOT repaired. Called the vendor who sold me the gun (SpeedyNails) and they said they would not replace the gun and that it was a warranty issue. Took it to Pro-Mar in Chicago and fixed it in about 15 minutes. Got back to jobsite and used it successfully for about three hours before I had to leave for the day. I was impressed with how quiet it was and how the staples drove in cleanly and consistently. However, the safety button on the side of the gun didnt seem to want to stay in "fire" mode and clicked off with the slightest touch. It was quite maddening to have to pull the gun away from the work, flip the safety and then re-engage to the work to fire more staples. It should have a more clear detent position on or off. Hooked it up this morning and it died again with the same symptoms after about an hour and a half of use. I briefly considered frisbeeing it from the 25th floor. Bostitch is sending me another gun to replace this one and I hope it works better. I've never had ANY issue with my other Bostitch nail and staple guns. I will update this review after I've received and used the replacement.

I used this stapler on Bella Wood 3/8" solid hardwood maple. It was hard to find a tool that would work with this material. I tried a similar Bostitch stapler that used 20ga staples and one leg of the staple would curl up. The 18ga 1" staples with this tool worked perfectly through the new hardwood over 3/8" luan over 3/4" pine sub-floor. The tool is only setup to work down to 7/16" but I removed the protective plastic covers on the boot and it set the angle and fit right where it needed to be. The 80# air pressure worked well for my application and I did not have to set any of the staples manually.

I recently purchased this stapler to put down 500 square feet of engineered wood. The stapler is easy to setup for the thickness of the flooring and performed flawlessly. 2500 staples later my arm is still attached to the rest of my body due to the lightweight and ergonomic handle. Well done Bostich!

I bought this air nailer for a small 200 sf solid oak hard wood floor and i had no problems at all as long as you set the fences to the right hight for what size boards your using it was very easy to use and sank all the nails to the proper depth

This gun makes the job so much easier.

I did 140 Sq Feet in 4h. on my first project. It is little hard to hold the gun tight to a panels, but plastic block make a great push block for the floor panels. Take little of my time to adjust the foot, but after good setup not a single misplacement of staples. I will buy this product again 100%.

The quality of tool is great, and design is great, when I used with 1/2 solid bamboo nailing to 3/4 OSB the 18 gauge staples had a hard time, they kept curling up, and some cases curled up through the floor itself, did not set good at all. I am going to try the MIIIFS with 15.5 gauge staples to see if it will perform any better. 18 gauge staples are just too thin for this application.

Easy to use, which was good, since there was no manual included, and I purchased a brand new unit.

Works very well, although I had to purchase shorter staples; I installed bamboo engineered flooring, and there didn't seem to be enough power to drive a 1 3/8" staple, but I think that was more a function of the bamboo being very hard wood. The staple would go 2/3 of the way in, but then the top of the staple would crumple on top of itself. My compressor would only go to 120 pounds of pressure, I think higher pressure would have taken care of this in one shot.

The flooring is a click together system, and didn't need staples, but I really wanted the floor to feel very solid.

This tool works great. Just layed about 500 square foot of flooing without any issue or trouble from the Bostitch stapler. I think the bad reviews that customers have wrote about this product is a classic case of, YOU HAVE TO BE SMARTER THAN THE TOOL YOU ARE WORKING WITH. - Hardwood Floor Nailer'

Cable Management

i used to struggle to keep my cords on the desk and would just put them under my monitor stand so they won't fall behind my desk. I have a laptop which I also use as my main computer with an LCD monitor and a nice set of desk speakers and external USB hard drives -- of course all these have cables that plug into my laptop when docked on my desk. Now with this wonderful product I no longer have to go fishing for my cords behind my desk ... this product has just enough weight so that it can sit on the desk and firmly hold your cords without it ending up behind your desk as well. Quirky Cordies Desktop Management System (Gray)

I LOVE this product! Intend to order more. It keeps my charger wires (cellphone, laptop) and my USB cords neat and easily accessible. Is heavy enough that it doesn't fall off the table itself; and discreet enough that it can be tucked away behind a pen stand or vase. Perfect.

I have several electronic devices I plug in at my bedside every night, and I've been looking for a cord holder that doesn't require me to use mounting tape in order to stick it to the nightstand. Better yet, one that hangs onto more than one cable, as it seems I just keep collecting devices.

This does the job perfectly. It's solid and stable and heavy enough to hang onto three USB cables and a laptop power cord without moving, but it's small enough it fits neatly on the nightstand without looking too out-of-place.

You do have to pull the cords out of the holder and pop them back in when you're done, which is only inconvenient because they can easily get tangled if you're not careful.

The Quirky Cordies Desktop Management gaget solved the problem of how to control charger cords for a cell phone, a kindle and a loptop. The previous solution was to let the cord ends hang from a drawer pull.

The Quirky Cordie now holds all of the charger cords neatly in place until they are needed. The Cordie devise has enough weigth to stay in place by itself.

The extra cord lengths were corraled by a Quirky Plug Hub box. I recommend that too.

I've wanted a cable organizer for a while now but never got around to buying one. This one is relatively cheap compared to the others. I use it with my Macbook AC Cable as well as 4 external hard drives and it works alright. Major complaint is that it is not weighted enough because it easily shifts around.

I like the concept, but overall, this device is a little thicker (read: not flexible enough) than I would have prefered. It arrived in minimal packaging (could be improved on a little) and in a timely fashion. A predrilled set of holes with retaining screws and washers (so the screw head doesn't slip through the holes) to hold this device under a desk, or on the back of the desk or laptop tray, would be a good improvement on the design. Overall, it does the job well except that it is exposed on the desktop and could be construed as unsightly (my wife wants everything to be wireless).'

It's really bright and as pretty as it looks in the picture :)

Too bad i didnt get it in assorted shapes!

I only got the two shades of heart post-its. The blue/green one didn't come with it.

Which is weird.

But other than that, it sticks really well. Post-it Notes, Super Sticky Pad, 2.9 x2.8 Inches, Assorted shapes and colors (7350-HBMX)

I love these. They are truly "super-sticky", and they look great in my classroom. The only thing I would change is that the darker colored notes are really more orange and have a different pattern that I do not like as well as the circle pattern on the yellow starts.'

I loved these shoes online and couldn't wait to receive them. Was a bit disappointed when I tried them on, they fit fine in length but across the toes they are very very tight. I don't consider myself to have wide feet but these seem to be very tight, making them very uncomfortable. I decided to keep them though b/c they are just so cute when I tried them on. I just won't wear them for very long periods. Quality seems not to be that great either for $70 but I love gingham and haven't been able to find another pair in this style. You would probably have to try these on to decide if you want to keep them, adorable looking though. Lauren Ralph Lauren Women's Camara Slingback Espadrille,Navy Gingham,8.5 M US'
