When you first start using it it hurts at first but after awhile you start getting use to the feel of it. The "nails" are made of plastic and do not hurt you. It's best to start gradually with a thin shirt and then eventually with no shirt at all. I like it because you can put it on any part of your body and you will feel the blood flow going towards the skin. It has a nice warming feeling to it and if you can tolerate the initial pain you will love it. Not sure about the long term medical benefits of it, that is unsubstantiated, but it is a definite relaxation tool. I fall asleep on it. Acupressure Mat Spike Body Mat for stress, neck pain, back pain or foot pain relief

This mat really helps to relax before bedtime. My back often pops a few times when I first lay down which relieves pain.



I feel this mat was the best buy out there. I paid $29.99 and shipping was free. It appears durable, has a cotton cover, and has a good foam pad inside. I think some of the other top rated pads may be hyped by people that have a financial interest in the pad - be careful of their shipping fees. Anyway I used it the first time without a shirt and was up to 20 minutes by the second use. Just be careful getting on and getting off. If it hurts too much as first, I find by lifting yourself up a little then laying back down can help.

I was diagnosed with having bilateral C7 vertebral transverse process abnormalities that cause a condition caused Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. This caused intense pain to radiate down my arms and also severe weakness. I have chosen to take the naturopathic route of not taking narcotics for the pain due to side-effects, so in total desperation for pain relief, I ordered this mat not knowing if it would help or not. The first time I laid on it I actually fell asleep!! I have laid on it everyday and night for sleep (had incredible insomnia due to the pain) and have now been able to sleep the entire night. The pain has been diagnosed as being chronic, so this is something I will have to deal with my entire life, but at least I know there is SOMETHING I can do to get some relief, where there was none to be found before!

I've been using the Nayoya original mat for some time, and seeing real effects in pain relief. I had to buy a new one, but the original Nayoya mat was out of stock... So I thought, how much difference can there be? It's just spikes... and bought this lower-priced replacement.



It is different. The spikes are less sharper, and I can feel the difference in pain relief: the original worked better than this one. For this mat, I have to press down on the spikes for effects, and then the effects are not as good as the original.



If you are looking for the real thing, then go for original round-shaped, sharper spikes.

When I first saw an accupressure mat, I was a little skeptical until I gave it a try. It was both painful and wonderful at the same time, and relaxing. The testimonial said it could help with insomnia, which I suffer. The brand name one cost more than I wanted to pay, so I went online and this one came up, and I ordered immediately. I was SO excited when it arrived. It works just as well as the expensive one, and has almost the same number of spikes (over 6,000). I still haven't reached the point where I can use it without a shirt, but that's okay because it feels great an relaxes me anyway. I also find that when I have an upset stomach or bad cramps, the mat helps with that too! All I have to do is lie on my stomach on the mat for 20-30 minutes, and my abdominal area feels much better. I'm also more aware of my breathing when I'm on the mat. It helps my insomnia, and I have fallen asleep on it, both on my back and on my stomach. I let a friend of mine use it when she was having an anxiety attack, and it helped her a lot. She's going to buy one too. I really recommend this mat, it's great!

I received this mat today and tried it immediately. I love it! It only took a few minutes to get used to but after that it was very relaxing. I found that I was able to focus on relaxing my muscles even more than just laying around being lazy. I felt great after I got off of it too. I probably stayed on it for @ 10 minutes. I plan on using this everyday!!! P.S. I also had my husband help me lay back on it and he helped raise me off of it too, but I'm sure I will be able to do that myself now that I know what if feels like.

I suffer from terrible stress and the physical ailments that come along with it. I thought I would give this product a try and I really like it. It feels great on my back and I find that tension in my back and shoulders has decreased. I would recommend this product. - Neck Pain Relief - Back Pain Relief - Back Pain - Accupressure'

Digital Cable - hdmi, digital cable

I got this HDMI cable for under $10 with shipping just to see whether it will work as well as the expensive ones and it was well worth the risk. I tested it with my upconverting LG DVD player on 1080i resolution on my 42" 1080p Westinghouse LCD TV (update 2009: now used for Blu-ray from PS3 to 46" Sony LCD TV) and it works just like any other HDMI cable, including those loud names who charge you ten-fold for "golden plated extra special micro gravity nanotechnology space age wireless high conductivity low noise extra gauge supercalafragilisticexpialidocious" cables with no difference in performance. By buying this cable I avoided the huge "naive citizen tax" included in these products. Considering its price, this is an amazingly good cable. HDMI Cable 2M (6 Feet)

This cable has received a lot of attention on Amazon, so I thought I'd throw in my two cents. I'll write the most simple review I can:



Me buy this cable. Me plug this cable between Sony PS3 and Philips 42" LCD TV. Sony PS3 say "HDMI Detected". TV say picture from source is "HDMI 1080p". Me point to Monster cables and laugh.



I will now go back to banging coconuts together. Thank you.

OK - here's the story. I was going to buy a Toshiba HDTV. I had picked it out already and was ready to purchase it and that was when I found a promotion at a local retailer that if I bought a Toshiba HDTV then I can get $200 off of any of the Toshiba HD DVD players. The HDA2 was normally $399 but was on sale for $299 and with the $200 off I got it for $99!! You can't beat that!



Well, I got that on Tuesday and it was an unexpected purchase. I asked the person at the store how much the HDMI cable would be so that I can hook it up as soon as I get home. He said, it's a Monster Cable and it costs $124.99! Whoa! I went up to the shelf and saw the sticker that said $124.99 on it and on the sticker it said "Financing Available"! What?! I'm not going to pay more for the cable than I did for the DVD player! These guys are crazy!



I told the guy "You are nuts if you think I'm going to pay that amount" and I logged onto Amazon and purchased this HDMI cable I'm doing the review for. I paid, with shipping, less than $9 for it. I was a little worried about it though - I'm sure that there must be a difference between the $124.99 cable and the $9 cable. So, I took the test. I went and purchased the $124.99 cable (mostly because I was too anxious to try out the new HD DVD player and couldn't wait for it to arrive). I plugged it in and of course the HD DVD I played looked absolutely amazing! The very next day I got the $9 cable (pretty fast shipping by these guys by the way) and I hooked it up. I was worried what I would find but when I started watching the same HD DVD that I watched the night before on the $124.99 cable I could notice NO DIFFERNCE WHATSOEVER between the two cables' results. So I returned the $124.99 cable.



You will not be sorry if you purchase this cable over the other ones in the major retailers. Don't let them tell you "it's a better quality cable" or anything like that. This cable is built very well - you can just tell when you hold it in your hand that it was made well. You don't get the fancy plastic packaging that you have to tear into with a knife and cut your fingers on though (oh what a bummer!). Get this cable. It's great!



The only thing you will want to research is that I have seen in some literature that there are two different kinds of cables. I think there is a special one for 1080p DVD players (dont' quote me on this). So do your research before purchasing just to make sure that this is the correct "type". As far as build quality - picture quality, for use with an upconverting DVD player as well as the Toshiba HDA2 HD DVD player, it's an absolute steal.

HDMI is a digital signal. That means it's all or nothing--not like analog where you may have degradation due to signal loss, crosstalk, radio frequency interference, etc. As long as you have a decent HDMI cable to transmit the digital bitstream from point A to point B, you're set. I just purchased the new Sony Bravia S-series 32 inch LCD TV. To go with it, I trashed my old Apex with the missing remote and got a deal on a Sony DVP-NS70H upconverting DVD player that can synthesize "extra" lines of resolution. The player can send 720p or 1080i signal to the TV. (Current DVDs are 480p; that standard will change eventually with Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.) I knew that the upconversion feature only works through a digital connection, so I'd need to get an HDMI cable. Started checking prices and, no surprise, they were all over the place. Some were in the $100 range. Despite mild skepticism, I decided to try the cheapest one. This little beauty arrived in 3 days in a plain brown wrapper and a clear plastic bag. The cable is surprisingly robust, with nice build quality, supple insulation, and good connectors. I started to feel vindicated. So I plugged it in, put Harry Potter in the DVD player and WOW!! The DVD player and TV did their magic. Spellbindingly great picture and sound. I haven't tried a component analog connection--those cables are REALLY expensive and quality matters more there--so I can't compare component versus HDMI. Bottom line: this is an unbeatable price performer for around $10 incuding shipping. And no, this is not an April Fools joke.

I bought this cable to connect my new Samsung LN32B550 to a cable box. I actually had read in other reviews that this cable was a Category 1, but I figured since 1080i was the most I was going to be using it for, that it wouldn't be a problem. WRONG! Like several other reviewers, I too experienced an annoying flicker of the picture. It wasn't a constant problem, but it was just often enough to annoy me. I tried everything from jiggling cables to trying the other 3 HDMI ports on the tv. Nothing worked.



I ordered the Mediabridge - 6ft Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable - Version 1.3 Category 2 - 1080p - PS3 - Blu-Ray for less than $10, and the annoying flicker magically disappeared. There is absolutely no reason you need to pay $50 or $100 on some overpriced cable, but you should definitely make sure the cable you get is a Category 2. - Hdmi - 1080p - Hdtv - Digital Cable'

I ordered replacement rear wheels for my Toro lawn mower. These were identical to the original wheels, and the least expensive wheels available everywhere I checked (both online and with several lawn mower repair shops). The wheels where shipped quickly and arrived very soon after I placed the order. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase as well as the vendor, and offer my highest recommendation for anyone needing replacement lawn mower parts.

If you are looking for a kit to use sparingly, then this one is perfect. I wanted to crack open my Macbook Pro 17'' and clean out some of the years of dust/etc. that has accumulated under the hood. The kit was perfect and I was able to screw down components and secure everything properly. This was perfect for what I needed it for, but I know that if I needed to use the kit everyday, then it would not be a high enough quality to last/be most efficient. Silverhill 15 Piece Tool Kit for Apple Products

I bought this item to do the upgrade to my MacBook Pro. I got the job done with this but the philips driver were so close to break while screwing in the screws (I didn't apply to much pressure) and the packaging was a very cheap plastic bag with some holes in it !!!



overall I successfully upgraded my MBP

I bought this set in order to upgrade my computer. The tools are of fair quality and got the job done. The plastic parts are a bit flimsy and there is no tool holder/bag etc. to keep them organized. But, for $10, I was not expecting fine precision everlasting tools any way. I gave them 4 stars because I was able to accomplish the task at hand.

I bought this tool kit at the same time I bought a new optical drive for my '06 era MacBook Pro. There's nothing unique about a size 0 philips screwdriver but what was important was having the right torx driver. The little plastic "crowbars" can also be handy when trying to pry the notebook computer open. I didn't need most the tools included for this particular job, however, it's nice to know I'll have what I need anytime I need to work on one of these MacBook type computers.

1st off, the packaging was terrible. It was packaged with $115 worth of Kingston 8GB laptop RAM, both loose in a box. Ordinarily this might not be an issue, however the tools are packaged in an unbelievably cheap & thin plastic bag, which allowed many of the tools to apparently punch holes in the thin bag & were therefore loose in the box upon arrival. I can't say whether or not this damaged the RAM, but regardless the RAM didn't work & I had to return it. As far as the tools themselves, I've only had the occasion to use a few of them, but the ones I used did work fine. My only other complaint is the "Micro SIM card adapter kit". If you need 1 of these, I advise you to look elsewhere. It consists of a a piece of paper that you are supposed to use as a guide to CUT your SIM card down to size until it fits into a larger piece of plastic. Um, no thanks. The instructions for this are even cheap looking. They're typed & crookedly cut out on cheap, thin paper. I guess you can't expect a whole lot for 12 bucks, but mostly the kit just comes across as rather low quality & cheap, although as I said, the few actual tools I have used (screwdrivers & plastic "pry-bars") worked well enough to enable me to remove the bottom housing & replace the RAM in my iCore 17" Aluminum Unibody MacBook Pro.

the screwdriver metal quality is not good.

there is no battery screwdriver for new Macbook Pro, models (from 2010 and earlier).

i purchase this order because i actually need a battery screwdriver, so for me this pack is not useful :((

Contains everything you need to take apart an iMac and put it back together, except a standard Phillips screwdrive (#2) required for the RAM cover, and a second suction cup would help in the screen removal. Otherwise great. Not super quality, but cheap and gets the job done. Combined with youtube videos talking you through the process, this makes an expensive and time consuming modification to an iMac easy and cheap, but could still invalidate a warranty so be careful!

Great Little Tools for cheap but would be much better if they were magnetic. Super hard to keep track of those little tiny screws. It would be much easier if the tools were magnetic to work with them!

I used it to change my broken iPhone 4 screen. Good quality tools. I magnetized them by sticking them on a magnet for a few minutes and they held the screws without dropping. Good set, I doubt I'll ever use it all, but nice to have... - Macbook Pro - Netbook - Laptop - Macbook'

Wire Jewelry - wire jewelry, wire

Handcrafted Wire Findings : Techniques and Designs for Custom Jewelry Components by Denise Peck and Jane Dickerson is a great collection of instructions on making wire jewelry components.



I've been a fan of Denise Peck's style and clarity in explaining how to make wire jewelry for a while and since I have a strong interest in handmade findings, this book looked wonderful.



The introduction is in depth. Wire types are explained, and there is a chart which shows the most common shapes and gauges from a hefty 2 gauge to a fine 26 gauge in round, half round and square.

Tools are explained and shown. Cutters, pliers, hammers and mandrels are all explained, followed by descriptions of the torches and tools you'll need for some of the fused and soldered findings and finishing tools such as a rock tumbler to harden and polish the metal.



A short introduction on techniques provides a refresher for people who have worked with metal before and teaches the basic techniques to people who haven't. Then you get into the projects.



If I've worried you that maybe this isn't the book for you because it has torches, rest assured, there are a lot of cold findings projects in here. Most of the earring findings for example are made using easy wire techniques and common household supplies as mandrels.



There is a simple, humble and always useful kidney hook that's shaped using round nose pliers and a marker for a mandrel. There are some great decorative hooks. A couple of them do use a very simple torch technique to draw a bead on one end of the wire, but from there are shaped using cold techniques.



Links and connectors does use more soldering for projects like the hammered ring connector, but wired ring link which is worked on a porcelain ring in the example is made using cold joins only. Same with the lovely Textured Corkscrew Link.



The rest of the book follows the same theme, everything is well explained, so if you do work with torches, or want to get started working with them, there are some wonderful looking simple pieces made that use heat. But there are also a lot of gorgeous cold worked pieces.



The actual clasps are great. The Lashed Toggle Clasp is a particular favorite of mine and the graceful curves of the S hook with bead is also very attractive.



This is not a book with jewelry projects, it's all components to help you achieve your own designs, and I do recommend having use of a rock tumbler for hardening your pieces when you're done. This book is a fantastic resource for seed beaders who want to learn the basics of wire working to create their own findings. Handcrafted Wire Findings: Techniques and Designs for Custom Jewelry Components

I'm always wary of buying craft how-to books without seeing them first. About half the time, I'm disappointed in the book and in myself for succumbing to the temptation.



This is not one of those times. My current skill level is that I own some hammers and a block, and have turned out a few okay-looking pieces, probably due to luck as much as skill. I've taken a soldering course (but have yet to do anything with it) and have used a MAPP torch a few times. In other words, I have a few of the skills needed for the projects in the book, but none of the skills for turning out the professional-looking pieces in the pictures. I need a book that will help me fill the gap, and this is it.



I'm impressed that many of the instructions in the introduction are repeated in the book. . .seems the authors are well aware that many people don't have the patience fo reading introductions. I'm impressed that procedures are well thought out and presented clearly. I'm most impressed that the authors didn't skimp on pictures or instructions for the kinds of steps and details that other books assume you'll figure out on your own. I'm also impressed that there are many 'secrets' hidden in the directions -- the kinds of things you often learn in a class but seldom in a book. I am comfortable that there's enough information in this book to help me turn out really nice pieces that look about as good as those in the pictures. That's exactly what I buy a book for.



Best of all: I'm now unafraid to begin working on these projects. I feel ready.



Now for an important detail. I will admit that if I find copy that is not well written, pictures that are mislabled, chunks of instructions missing, misspellings and typos, that tends to affect the credibility of the authors. I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder when it comes to buying expensive craft books that I later realize were hurriedly slapped together, or assume a higher skill and experience level than I have. If there are any editing problems in this book, I haven't found them yet.



Good job, ladies!

What I like about this book is that it's such a terrific one-stop-shop resource of ideas for making "Handcrafted Wire Findings," as the title suggests. It's not really a project-based book ("make this bracelet, make this ring, etc."), but a resource book of information, with plenty of step-by-step photos and detailed text that beginners will find invaluable.

Once you know how to make your own ear wires (in several different styles), toggle clasps, hooks, S-clasps etc. you may never purchase such items in the store again. For one thing, it's so gratifying to make your own, with your own design style and bead colors. For another, you'll save a boatload of cash by making findings instead of purchasing similar items in a bead store. Quality control is another issue; sometimes commercial findings are cheaply made of poor materials, and as the maker yourself you can now control the quality and costs involved. Projects shown made with sterling silver wire can be made in other metals if you wish--i.e. copper or brass wire to save money, or gold-filled wire for extra bling.

The instructions for each piece are thorough without being too wordy, and you should find them very easy to follow. Another great benefit of an Interweave Press book is the value they place on good design with clean layouts and superior closeup photography. I believe that anyone who reads the text and views the photos will have no trouble at all making every item in this book--and that's saying a lot, because many how-to books fall short in this regard. Not this one.

The one and only caveat that I would add is that I am not sure this is the best book for an advanced wire artist who already knows how to make a hook clasp, S-clasp with bead, toggle, ear wires, etc. The items in this book are pretty basic, for the most part, and most of them are similar to what has been seen before in other publications (books and magazines). If you have been making artistic wire jewelry for over 10 years, as I have, and subscribe to all the jewelry publications and purchase every jewelry book as soon as it comes out (this pretty well describes me to a T!), you may not find much that is new to you in this book. However, there are a few pieces that are original, very creative and fun. And if you are a novice wire jewelry artist or if this craft is fairly new to you, by all means do get this book. It's a valuable resource of practical and creative ideas that you will turn to many times over as you pursue the art and craft of creative wire art jewelry.

Reconditioned Tools - nail gun, cordless nailer

Visit Store Now !!

I wasn't completely sold on this tool when I bought it. I was leaning towards the Dewalt 18 volt brad nailer, since I had the Dewalt 18 volt 16 gauge finishing nailer, which was a game changer. Anyway, didn't even know this tool was out when I bought it a month ago, and wasn't sure I would like the gas/battery design versus just a straight battery design like the Dewalt. However, I did like the design of the gun and especially liked the weight. This gun is almost half the weight of the Dewalt, 7.4 pounds, versus 4 pounds, and it is noticeably better balanced.

Driven a 1000 or so brads, no jambs using good quality brads. The tool-less depth changing knob works very well, turning produces exactly the right quality of change in the height of the brad.

Decibels produced by the gun is less than my Dewalt finishing nail. Obviously there is a slight gas odor that is associated with most guns of this type, but it is minimal.

Comes with a great case, 2 batteries, protective glasses, and mine surprisingly came with a Hitachi 3.6 volt screwdriver. Not sure all these come with this item, however mine did. Be sure to watch who you buy this from, I wish Amazon would carry this directly. I buy almost all my tools from Amazon, no problems. Just be sure to look around for the best price. Hitachi NT50GS 18 Gauge Gas Brad Nailer

Well, popped for this spendy tool as I thought it seemed like a good idea, wanted to avoid the tank, hoses etc. It is a fairly complex tool that uses small gas cylinders which one buys separately. We got the nails, we got the gas, and it did not work. The machine turned on, the nails fit (I bought Hitachi nails just in case), but when the trigger was pressed, the gas made a big release, but no nail came out. The good Hitachi guy on the phone had me try some things and then said that it was defective. I returned it for a refund.

Every tool i have purchase always come ready to use even if in limited quantities-- not this one ( No nails No fuel cell )and most stores don't have the fuel cell.Had to order on line a shame that i have to wait spending time and gas trying to get the fuel cells.

Owned an older (black)passload and it worked great for over 8 yrs Now no parts for it-

Anyhow looking foward to using it..- it does feel lighter - Air Compressor - Combo Packs - Cordless Nailer - Nail Gun'
