Swimming Lap Counter - swimming, lap count

Visit Store Now !!

Update 1/2007. I have had two of these now and loved them but they have only lasted 3 weeks each and then died. The company Sportcount says they are coming out with a new model that fixes the problem (some gasket in the inner workings of it) and they will replace when they come in late Feb.

I love the product enough to wait for it, because when it works it works great.





I was hesitant, having tried watches that had lap counters and hearing from others about other lap counters, but I am very impressed on how well this works.

Easy to swim with and very easy to use.

I love the review feature it tells what your fastest and slowest lap are and then you can review each lap.

Just push the larger button with your thumb as you turn and you feel it click.

Now I don't have to try to think about how many laps I swam.



The only problem I had was the first one died after 3 weeks but I got fairly quick replacement from the company. 90010 Combination SportCount

I love this little device. I wear it when I am running and it serves as both a timer and a lap counter. I used to lose track as to which lap I was on, which can be very frustrating. Also, you can't quite tell from the picture, but this is a small device that is worn on your index finger - then you just tap the button with your thumb as you complete a lap. Other neat features is that it gives you your total time / number of laps as well as your fastest lap, slowest lap, and average lap time. It does all these things with just one simple button. I wouldn't run without it!

The picture makes the SportCount look like a stopwatch and, therefore, gives the impression that it's about that size. So, I was quite dissappointed when it arrived and was the size of a *small* digital watch. It comes with an attached band that is just big enough to fit around your finger. My dissapointment turned to delight, though, when I realized I didn't have to stop with each lap of the pool to press the button. Because it's on my finger, I just press the button with my thumb and observe my lap count and lap time as I start the next lap. This allows me to adjust my effort to maintain the level of output desired.

This is the 3rd level of 4 for this product. It counts laps, total time, lap time, as well as fastest lap, slowest lap, and average lap. The 4th of 4 variations of this product only adds the ability to look at your split times for each lap. I recommend at leat this version because it allows you to look at your lap times as you are swimming, so if you think you accidently forgot to press the button at one turn, then you can look at your lap time at the next turn and if the time is twice your normal lap time you can just press the button again to make the lap count right.



The button is easy to push and you can really see it underwater (I were my contacts when I swim). Simply press the single button as you do a flip turn and it does the rest. I've been swimming for over 35 years and would say this is the best electronic device for swimming that I've seen yet. The counters you stick on the wall under water may work well for people that don't do flip turns. But if you do a lot of laps and flip turns, then this counter is pretty good. I'd recommend trying it out for the reasonable price.

I've been using this SportCount for the last month during my swim workouts, and I've been extremely happy with it. Worn on my left index finger, it's easy to hit as I make my flip turns and pretty hard to press on accident.



Whereas I once did my best to keep count of my laps, inevitably adding or subtracting a 100 yards, now I can keep track not only of the number of laps I'm swimming but also my pace. It has been an excellent companion.



My only complaint is that on a few occasions I have accidentally tapped the button twice during a turn. I wish it had some kind of delay that would allow it to ignore redundant taps (even if they were just defined as taps within the same 2 second period).



Sure it would be great if this thing could tell me my heart rate, but if it did, I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it. A great value, I highly recommend it!

If you are swimming more than a few laps, then keeping up with lengths/laps becomes a problem. A 50 meter pool takes 66 lengths to swim a mile. This fits snugly on your index finger and tracks laps, average times, and total time of the swim. You hardly notice it is on when you are swimming.

The single button operation is easy to figure out. I've owned 3 of these, 2 different types, and the battery life is good. I've lost one, but that's my fault; I would do even worse with a poolside mounted one. The only thing I would like is to be able to track rest intervals somehow, but I can't think of an easy way to do that other than using the more advanced version that gives you all of your split times. It is great for longer swims where you do one long set. - Lap Counters - Lap Count - Swimming - Swimming Lap Counter'

Door Lock - door lock, lock

Visit Store Now !!

Purchased this last week for an upcoming trip to Europe for use as an added measure of security in the hotel rooms we are staying in. Received extremely fast using Amazon Prime.



Tested this portable lock in my home with 2 different doors and works wonders! With this lock on, it will make it extremely difficult for an intruder to come in to your room. Though the red piece is plastic it is reinforced with a metal plate underneath it which makes it really solid! This makes the entire portable lock made of metal! Once installed, it was difficult for me to go in the home. I think that I would have to kick the door in to jar this portable lock loose.



Great extra measure of security! I'll sleep better knowing that even if an intruder manage to pick the locks of my hotel room, they would have to kick the door in to open it with this portable lock in place!



Great buy! Thanks... Add-A-Lock

bought this so that i don't need to drill holes in my front door, however it doesn't work... the gap between the door and wall is to small for me to slip the metal part i.. it's not as easy as it claims..

Very good invention... No "installation" necessary in terms of screws etc. Slips in between just fine, super simple. For the occaisional tighter fit, just turn the knob first, and then close it in... Simple. Have'nt tried this in a hotel yet... I believe it will work in most Motels though. Had a RIDICULOUS "landlord" and workman that would just go into people's apartments whenever they flippin' wanted! Almost killed a guy during one of these events. Bought cameras, and rigged all kinds of barricades to keep these nuts out and myself out of jail because of them. Wish I had just ONE of these during that truly miserable time. Now, no matter where I go, I have a few of these no matter what. I'm a very large man with serious combat training, and I would much rather let these babies do a terrific job as opposed to having to resort to setting up booby traps ever again, or ending up in court for mangling some fool for foolishly intruding.



Though not really useful for when you are OUTSIDE, it is funny to set it up backwards just to show there's something at instant one they probably don't want to mess with when it comes to you insisting on your privacy.



As stated in the beginning, I wish I had just one of these awhile back, but I have learned alot from such ridiculous circumstances, and have since learned much more civilized methods to guarantee my privacy which to me is priceless. This little rig does help quite a bit... you will like it. It is also adjustable and again just pretty neat, though you would be wise to pick up a few other security tools and enjoy peace of mind without possibly harming some stupid intruder, deserved or otherwise.



UPDATE:

Picked up yet another, and it is designed very differently. It is difficult to explain how, given the very unique/clever design... Best way I can describe it is that it's depth adjustability is dramatically different, the ones prior being much more versatile. Still great to have, and you can be sure they do the job right. I'm glad I have some of the adjustable ones... different doorways simply do not fit the most recent design. I'd write in beforehand asking if these are the 4 notch adjustables (ideal) or the less versatile tringular notch design, Sidenote- I found a GREAT place... everything is clean especially the water (thank god) but sure enough, a workman who was not aware I happened to be home that day (I male sure *everytime* now always being certain of when they decide to drift by) tried to come in without prior notice/permission... but this did the trick beautifully. He tried for nearly two minutes (as hidden video also shows) trying the right keys first, then thinking he must be using the wrong ones, trying others, and then trying the correct ones again, turning the knob and pushing with no luck at all. I fought myself from confronting him on the spot, as I am really trying to not let this kind of thing make me as upset as it once did (albeit for appropriate reason) and instead decided not to, opting to see if he was going to mention anything about it. Not a peep... as I expected. Did ask me later alot about my expensive electronics and reminded him I'm pretty good with stocks, have all my financials to prove it and offered him a discounted rate for some investment consultation. Shut him up entirely after that. In any event- It just goes to show you.., if someone else has keys to your place, nosy utterly wacko girlfriend (the i intial reason I became interested in things like these) workmen, landlords, don't be shocked... happens every day and almost certainly to everybody- save your peace of mind and right to prevent nosy weirdos from bothering you. Get some good locks... they exist for very good reason, and there are few if any good reasons not to use them.

This Add-A-Lock works as promised. It was easy to install and has a handy nylon carrying case. If you put this product in your cabin luggage, be sure to include a copy of the instruction sheet in case airport security officials as you what the Add-A-Lock is. The only minor improvement suggestion is that the one page instruction should have been more than a color printout from an inkjet printer that is not water resistant. Overall, this is a simple device that is solidly constructed and did the job in securing my hotel rooms while I was on an extended trip to China.

When it fits, it provides a sturdy barrier, quick to put on or remove. It can be particularly helpful when renting vacation houses or condos where some realtors, property managers, or maintenance men tend to enter without even knocking at times. Too many people seem to have keys, and feel entitled to enter whenever they please, at such places. Unfortunately, it only fits traditional doors, and only when the door and lock fit the frame perfectly.



I have never been able to use it at a hotel, and too often find it won't work in regular doors. Unfortunately, housekeeping and maintenance staff have keys to ALL locks, even deadbolts, and can even get into rooms with security bars easily. I would like to see a new version of this for hotels, and some change that would make it easier to use on "imperfect" doors. - Security - Lock - Door Stopper - Door Lock'

Shany Cosmetics - plates, konad

Visit Store Now !!

I love these! They are high quality, and the image selection is awesome. There's even a couple of images for each major holiday, which is a bonus because now I don't need any holiday plates. I would suggest ignoring the negative review on this product which says the plates are scratched and the images are not deep enough to produce a stamped picture. The plates have a fine plastic cover on them that needs to be peeled off prior to the first use. And indeed the plastic cover does make the plates look scratched up, and the plates are impossible to use without removing that cover. Once the plastic is peeled off, you'll find a mirror finish plate underneath with high quality images that work wonderfully.

Bottom line, they work just as well as the name brand plates, with much less investment. Highly recommended! SHANY 2012 Nail Art Nailart Polish Stamp Stamping Manicure Image Plates Accessories Set 25pcs with Instruction

I have been looking for Konad ever since my friend purchased them a year ago. I finally bought them from the online site and BOY did they COST ALOT. The plates are almost $7 each! Crazy? Overall, it's a great product! But there is only ONE FATAL, AND I MEAN FATAL, FLAW. Just keep in mind, SIZE MATTERS.



Pros:

-Awesome variety. Many types of designs for different occassions, seasons, holidays, ect. Whatever you need.

-Great price! Can't beat this anywhere else. (Trust me I looked).

-Designs come out crisp and clean. Haven't had an issue with the images yet. Awesome quality for the price.

-I frikkin love it!



Cons:

-OK HERE IS THE FATAL FLAW. I'm asian (not to be racist) and have VERY small hands and my fingernails are generally short. My hands are smaller then my neighbor's 8 year old son. TINY. And the plates that have the full designs (such as the stripes, stars, ect)dont completely cover my nails. Unlike the konad designs (with room for no error), dont expect the whole image to cover/fit on your nails. Once you try to compeltely cover it, it looks terrible. Just killed it for me...

-Once again with my hands, TINY. French tips are diffacult to use. Pretty small size. It's workable for me but...I expect others to struggle.

-The plates are pretty thin compared to their Konad counterparts, be careful. I actually cut myself once. The edges are sharp and thin...think razor. Take caution when you first remove the plastic covers and when in use. ESPECIALLY around children.

I have a love hate relationship with these plates. I love them because they do their job perfectly. The nail stamp comes out clear and detailed on your nails. Also these plates fit nicely into the Konad plate holder, if you already have one. I must admit I was a bit worried about that. Oh and the designs are amazing. You get a wide variety of designs from French to full nail to even some holiday designs.



The reason why I hate them is because practically every time I use these I end up slicing my fingers on them. The plates are thin and sharp, so be extra careful when handling them, especially when you first take off that dreaded plastic coating that has no desire to come off nicely. Patience is needed here!



Also to note these plates where so thin and sharp they ripped the original packaging. So when they arrived they were scattered throughout the box. Luckily they were all accounted for except I ended up with a duplicate plate. Normally I wouldn't mind but this is plate #BM07 the one with the weed leaf. Clearly this design is not my cup of tea.

I was so excited when I found this product here on Amazon. The price I paid was amazing and being a Prime customer I got free two-day shipping. My final price ended up being 9.99 which is absolutely amazing for a 25 piece collection! These are the same plates as Bundle Monster (the plates even say "BM" on them...) but for an incredibly better price!



When I received them, I was a little wary because the package they were inside was ripped open and the plates were loose inside the box. This is because there are just so many plates, they were too heavy for the plastic wrap they were in (so, it could be looked at as a good thing!). I dealt with it and took them out to investigate further. Then I became a little worried because they looked scratched and used. However, once I pulled the super thin protective film off, they were perfect and brand new. The edges had been filed down and were not sharp at all (I noticed some people saying they were getting cut by the edges; this was not the case at all for me.)



Now onto the images: I love about 90% of the images. I like to be a little different so many of them appealed to me. Images like the anchor, the peacock, leaves, flowers, and feather were great. The "whole nail" images are perfect for me because I have smaller nail beds and they covered them completely (a little work for the thumb, but nothing too bad). There were, however, some images I would NEVER use, such as the biker flames and the pot leaf. Why would I ever want a pot leaf on my nails?! But for the most part, I loved the images.



I tried them the night I received them. I already had a scraper and a stamper from a nail stamp set I bought at ULTA (by essence) and so I made sure I used the right polishes and stamped away. I absolutely loved the results. So far, every image I've used has been great! I've gotten countless number of compliments on my nails and I look forward to creating more unique looks using these plates.



Ultimately, I give it 4/5 stars and would definitely recommend this to people.

This product is easy to use. love the detail of each one.

looks so cute on very polished and i adore them on my toes.

great deal on a great product will buy more.

:)

btw did i say the designs are so cute :)

not good!!! the images are not sharp when stamped, however the edges on each disc are sharp enough to cut your finger, the protectant film on each disc is SO difficult and annoying to remove, the images which should cover a whole nail (like the zebra)are so small you can only use it on a pinky finger-not worth it people! - Image Plates - Plates - Bundle Monster - Konad'

I had an old laptop that I purchased back around 1999. After a couple of years of use, the screen broke from excessive opening and closing, so I stopped using it. I figured I would connect a monitor to it at some point and get anything important off of the hard drive before I tossed it out. There was nothing critical on it, but there was some stuff that I did want to retrieve. No hurry. Fast forward to 2010. I'm finally ready to clean out that old hard drive and the damn laptop won't power up now. I tested the supply and it was good, so something else is now wrong with the laptop. Maybe just a battery, but who knows where to get a battery for that old thing? Didn't really want to buy one either. A little reaearch on the internet and low and behold, there are cases you can use to house an internal hard drive like mine. So I buy this thing. A few days later, it comes in the mail. It took me about 5 minutes to get the hard drive installed into the case and connected to a USB port on my Vista machine. It instantly recognised the old hard drive, which is smaller than some jump drives available today. I copied everything from the old drive to the new drive just like that. This case worked perfectly. Mission accomplished. I would recommend this product to anyone with a similar problem. Just make sure you get the right case for your hard drive type. The ATA case was a bit harder to find than the more current SATA design.2.5" USB 2.0 IDE/PATA Hard Disk Drive HDD Case Enclosure 500GB Max Capacity 2.5" USB 2.0 IDE Hard Drive HDD Case Enclosure - Black

The product quality is substandard. USB connector doesn't line up to allow inserting the connector; the IDE connector is very loose BUT with a little effort and a lot of attention not to break anything (it's so flimsy) it works.

I managed to connect the replaced IDE Dell laptop drive to the laptop and back up all files. If you're looking for a portable rugged external drive, get a Lacie (that's what I use to store data).

It does what it's supposed to do, but it's easy to get out of alignment, and a bit difficult to fit in. Not enough to be a problem, just that it could be a bit better, hence 4 instead of 5 stars.



It's perfect for the cost, though, and a great buy.

I've been using the case for a couple years and it works great. The only problem I've had is that the drive came unplugged inside the case at one point. The drive wasn't recognized when I plugged it into my computer but it was obvious what was wrong when I opened the case. It would be nice to have some way to hold the drive to the end cap to prevent it from being unplugged.

Simple and small, it does what you think it does. Provides a simple enclosure for a 2.5" drive. I had to place a small piece of paper folded up to snug the drive into the enclosure, otherwise you could feel it moving top to bottom slightly. Only works with powered USB ports, haven't had any luck using the ports on my keyboard, etc.



Perfect little drive enclosure, exactly what I wanted.

I gave it 4 stars because [1] It's cheap and [2] it does work.



I didn't give it 5 stars because the one I bought (elsewhere and not here on Amazon) would not recognize the new 320GB hard drive I bought for my HP laptop. I read afterward that it was only good for 300GB or less. So I was unable to use it to create a clone of my old hard drive. I ended up reinstalling Windows on the new drive and then copying files from my old 120GB drive which did work in this enclosure.



There was probably an easier way but not within my expertise. - Hd Enclosure - Drive Enclosures - Hdd Enclosure - Hard Drive'

The picture with the "Snaplight" word is not the product that I received. Instead, I received a similar product of the "Mayday" brand with a different packaging.



The Snaplight brand is from Cyalume, a more expensive brand. Even though this seller did not put Cyalume anywhere in the description, the pictures are misleading and false. The Snaplight brand also shows a yellow packaging with yellow light which doesn't match the green light description.



The product works and glows but not as brightly as Cyalume or other brands. You get what you paid for. Pack of 10 Cyalume SnapLight Light Stick Green 12-Hour for Emergency Disaster Preparedness

I'm the kind of person who likes to test their gear before relying on it in the backwoods, so I cracked one of these as soon as I opened the package. I was easily able to navigate around a pitch-black house and yard, without the benefit of any other artificial light. It was brighter than other glow sticks I've tried (Coleman brand, for example), and was still putting out enough light to read by a full 12 hours later. The plastic walls are angled instead of round, and are thicker than any others I've tried, which means they should hold up well against accidental cracking in the backpack. No lanyards are included, FYI, but I don't consider that too much of a detriment. Overall: great product, very reasonable price.

I bought this set as it came with 10 sticks so i could actually test one before hand. I normally test all my things out before heading into the bush. I set it up at midnight and had it in my room until the next day. Normally with lights its harder to sleep but this light was mediocre at best. It had half strenght light compared to a normal glow stick or other brands/versions like the military grade. If i was trying to signal someone then i would be alright however these should be used as an emergency only type if you do buy them. If i lost my crank light, this would keep me comfort, but dont provide enough light to go wandering with it. At best they get a three out of five mainly for quanity, not quality.

I tested these against an old set of Ever Ready Light Sticks I got from Amazon about 3 years ago. These only lasted about 6 hours where the Ever Ready Lightsticks lasted the full 12 hours. Unfortunately I can't find the Ever Ready on Amazon but hope they bring them back. You can get the Ever Ready brand here: [...]



I hope Amazon will read this and bring in a better supplier and a little testing. I am very disappointed. Now I need to carry twice as many or shell out more money.



Update: I found light sticks that will last 12 hours right here on Amazon and are much brighter they are military grade. Here is the name: "10 Pack NSN 6260-01-074-4229 - 6 in. ChemLight Light Sticks - Green - 12 Hours - Military Grade - Cyalume 9-42290PF".



They are more expensive but in the long run you will get your money back because they do last 12 hours often longer. Hope this helps.

These Light Sticks are very bright and lasted longer than ten hours for us. The light sticks we were sent from "BP Medical Supplies" are yet a different brand than pictured in the Amazon product picture and also in one of the "Customer Images", so I posted a picture of ours.



These light sticks are manufactured for "Ever Ready First Aid" and did not list an expiration date, which is a little bit of a concern for me since these are destined for my emergency kit. As noted above, the light we tested was very bright so they likely are good for several more years since other brands have a listed shelf-life of up to four years.



Although they are not the brand shown I am happy with these, but I also can't recommend them since it is not certain which brand will be sent when next ordered.



CFH

Ordered this product, when it came in we tested several of the sticks at 4th of July, and they glowed pretty brightly and with a nice color, but of the 4 we tested 3 burned out in 8hrs and the other only lasted about 9 1/2. Still a good long glow, but not the 12hrs advertised.

The product I received was Safety Bright 6" light stick by Cyalume light technology (made in USA). Ordered from BP Medical supplies, received package via USPS in a bubblewrapped mail envelope with the individual sticks lumped together. The items arrived in fine condition. Price paid $10.77 w/ free shipping.

Like other reviewers, I also received "novelty - entertainment" brand lightsticks from Northern Lights rather than the CYALUME sticks shown in the product image. Now, I have not tested them and for all I know they work great but I don't like these "bait & switch" tactics. If it's marketed as "Emergency/Disaster Preparedness" DON'T send me toys.

I tested a few of these as soon as they arrived. They are sold as "12-Hour" the ones I tested lasted between 3-4 hours at best. None failed to light, but 12-Hour claim is a huge exaggeration. I would not buy these again. Buyer Beware! - Emergency - Preparedness - Emergency Kits - Camping'
