Swiffer Max Cloth Refills


I have been using the Max Swiffer for several years and love it. The only problem is finding the refills. I finally ordered online even though more expensive and ordered six boxes so I won't run out for awhile. The swiffer is wide and picks up animal hair beautifully along with the dust we get here in Arizona. I have Travertine floors and can't use most things so this is a life saver. Swiffer Max Refill Cloths for Swiffer/Max Sweeper, 16/Box, 6 Boxes/Carton (PAG37109CT)

I have searched most stores around here for the swiffer max and came up

with 0. so I ordered them on line. It was easy! I tried to go through

the online sales and found one that was a lot less expensive and ordered

4 boxes so that I won't run out for a while. They arrived at the house

in just a few days and I am delighted. No more running around and I probably saved money on the order.'

Atv Winches - superwinch, winch


I looked around for an economical winch that I could buy to load my ATV into the back of my F150 pick-up truck. It's just too dangerous driving it up the ramps yourself. I selected the Grip On winch because it was only one of a few that had a wireless remote control and a handle bar rocker switch. I attached an eye bolt to the bed of my pick-up, I then attach the winch cable to the eye bolt, and then stand back a few feet and watch the winch do all the work! The installation went smoothly and wiring was a snap to install. I've only had it a couple of months now, but the people at Sportsmen's Den who sells the winch said they stand behind everything they sell, 100%. I've also recommended this product to my friends, and would also recommend this to anyone interested in an ecomonical winch. Grip 2500 lb Electric ATV Winch

I AM VERY PLEASED THAT I WAS URGED TO CONTACT AMAZON BY A SHERIFF BUDDY OF MINE ON THIS HUNT FOR A ( GRIP ) BOAT WINCH. I HAD BEEN LOOKING ON EVERY SIGHT AND NONE HAD ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I WANTED AND THE PRICE, MOST HAD WINCHES THAT BOAST "STRONG" AND FRANKLY WHEN THEY ARRIVED WERE "WEAK". I KNOWN A GREAT PRODUCT AND HAVING THE ( GRIP BRAND )MANY YEARS AGO I KNEW WHAT I WANTED. THE 28770 WILL NOT ONLY TAKE MY MANTA RAY BOAT TO THE HEIGHTS OF THE LIFT, BUT IT WILL HELP ME MAINTAIN OUR CUB CADET 4X4 AND IT'S 1800# THANK FOR HAVING A REAL INFORMATIVE SALES "RECIE" PERSON IN CUSTOMER SERVICE, - Atv Winch - Superwinch - Winch - Atv Winches'

Picture Hanging Materials - hanger, hooks


I was skeptical these 3M poster strips could hold a 60x40 inch poster but they really worked! I did probably overkill it though and used more than suggested but with such a large poster I wanted to make sure it didn't bow in the middle or sag.



I used 4 rows of 6 strips along the top, bottom and two rows in the middle. And so far so good. Looks to be on the wall quite well and I feel confident it'll stay on the wall until I decide to take it down. I can't wait to try these on other things too. I bought several packages of different sizes and even checked out the video on the manufacturer's website. Interesting concept to never hang anything with nails again. Makes redecorating easier and friendlier to your walls too. And living in earthquake country, it just might stay on the wall better too. But given that, I'll be using extra to make sure!



Removing the strips is as easy as it says too. Just pull on the tab and it comes right off. I put one of the strips in the wrong spot on the poster and was easily able to remove it without damaging the paper. Just be aware that one side is meant to be stuck to the wall and the other to paper. It's marked with red lettering on one side and black on the other so just be sure to get it right and you'll be fine.



Like I said, I was skeptical but I'm sold on these 3M Poster Strips. I'll definitely buy more and intend to use them on everything from this point forward!



Final suggestion -- be sure to buy the value packs. It's more cost effective. 3M Command Poster Adhesive Strip Value Pack

There are 48 little stickers in this package. Each sticker has about 1/2"x1" sticky surface. They work just like the Command stickers that have hooks, but no hook - you stick it directly to your poster, then the other side to the wall. Be sure you follow the directions and apply pressure for 30 seconds when you mount your posters. After fussing with double-sided foam stickers, and having things fall off the painted cinder-block walls on a regular basis, these seem to be working quite well. Nothing has fallen down yet!

I've had the same experience as the other users with this product. I've used and trusted 3M products for most of my life, and was always curious about the mounting strips. I was leery that they would work as well as people say.



But after mounting several very large, heavy posters (non-framed of course), I'm a believer. The strips went on easily. We followed the instructions and applied pressure in the correct spots for the amount of time suggested, and the posters are nice and solid on the wall. I have no doubt they'll stay up for a long, long time.



I had to test the removability, though, since that's one of the major features of these strips. On one of the posters after a few days, I removed a strip following the instructions, and darned if it didn't come off just as advertised! Go 3M!



If you have posters and want to make sure you don't damage your walls, these strips are definitely the way to go!

These tiny adhesive strips work pretty damn well. I'm not entirely sure as to how much weight they can effectively hold, but I have been using them for posters and small, light, white erase boards. They don't leave a mark upon removal, and stick quite well. Also, a package of these contains a crap-ton of strips.

I'm highly disappointed in this product. I have used other command products before with out issue. I bought this in September and have tried it twice, following the instructions exactly. The first time the picture fell. It didn't even last 30 secs on the wall. The second time I doubled the number of strips. This time the picture stayed up for less than 5 mins.

I used this product on three large posters and applied them directly to vinyl walls. Instructions say to use rubbing alcohol to clean the wall before applying the poster, so I did that. The posters have been on the walls for a month - no problems.

I'm a big fan of 3M Command products. And while this product is vastly superior to the thumbtack or sticky putty methods of mounting, I can't recommend this for any "valued" artwork/posters. During removal, I've torn or wrinkled the corners of posters while pulling that tab---even with applying enough pressure against the print.

I print a lot of high quality glossy photos of bands to decorate my walls with and these poster strips work perfect. They stay on really good (better than anything else I could buy) and they remove very easily unlike most other means of hanging stuff up. There also great for posters. I used 12 on my two big posters and they hold great. What's really amazing is how many strips you get at such a low price. I ended up running out thanks to all the photos I've been hanging up, so I ordered two more of these (almost 100 strips) for a very cheap price.

Currently using this in dorms.



since in the dorms you pay for any damages to the wall, these are great because it hasnt damaged the wall yet!



make sure you pull the strip about six inches down when removing. follow the instructions and you shouldnt have any damage.



cheaper posters will eventually wear thin from this so be careful. - Picture - Picture Hanging Materials - Hanger - Hooks'

Laminating Machines


I purchased this laminating machine in a store, but wanted to give a definite positive review! I have had this machine running since I got it, and just love it! It's simple to use, works wonderfully and doesnt' take up a ton of space. I have a special needs toddler, who uses picture cards to communicate her needs, and this has made over 100 PECS cards for her book, and now she's even taking them to Pre-k to use them as well! Wonderful machine that is making my little one's life so much better! I am also having tons of fun using it for my small business for price lists and advertising! Great little machine! Scotch Thermal Laminator 15.5 Inches x 6.75 Inches x 3.75 Inches, 2 Roller System (TL901)

This is a great little laminator, and I've used it even more than expected. But during a momentary lapse of reason, I tried to use a partial pouch - one that was not sealed on the bottom. They tell you not to do it, but I did anyway. Everything disappeared into the machine, and didn't come back out. It didn't look like I could open it up without destroying it, so I called their 800 number. They were so nice, and they sent me a mailing label to ship it back for free. They said that if they could fix it, they would do so and send it back. If they couldn't, they would send me a new one. All free of charge - which is incredible since it was my own fault for doing what they said not to do. I just got a new one in the mail. I only paid $30 for this, yet they replaced it free of charge when I messed it up. You just can't do any better than that!

Good all-purpose laminator for the price. Needed to run through a couple of times for thicker sheets. But I am happy with the product. I laminated 75 schedule cards in a row without a breakdown. A good deal.

I've been using a small card size thermal laminator to make cards, bookmarks and jewelry with for a few years now. A friend of mine gave me this one for my birthday as an upgrade.

I love it. It takes about 10 minutes to be ready and has an indicator light to show it's hot enough. A double roller system sends your document through the laminator smoothly at the right speed.

It's built for 3mm and 5mm lamination pouches which is fine for home and home office use.

If you do get a jam, the unit has a release button to pull out the document and unjam the machine.

It's very simple to use, intuitive but it also is illustrated with how to feed your document in as well. You put whatever your laminating into a sleeve then put it into the paper feed in the back of the machine.

There are 2 heat settings. One for 3mm and one for 5. It handles US Letter sized items easily.

Possible craft uses:

I use mine for jewelry, cutting out small images and sealing them into small pouches for less waste. After lamination, cut around the image leaving a margin of the clear laminate, use a small punch to make a hole and attach to jump ring

bookmarks- pressed flowers make wonderful mementos of special days out

recipe cards

dry erase boards

use in duct tape crafts with nice images. A couple comic book pages laminated can be taped together to make a very unique purse.

It's a good home laminator for home office and craft use.

Because of the 10 minute warm up time, I recommend having a few projects ready to go at a time so you can just do them all at once after the unit is heated.

I snagged this bad boy on a Lightning Deal for 20 bucks this weekend. It arrived yesterday (thank you Amazon Prime!). As soon as I got it, I set it up and used it a few times and I must say, I'm very, very impressed. This is easily worth the full price, so even more excited I got it for 20 bucks. Setup took less than a minute ... just take it out of the box and snap the feeder tray into place. That's it! Heating up took appx 5 minutes. I fed a couple items through and it is absolutely silent. I mean NO noise whatsoever when it's laminating. It autofeeds the item through and takes less than 30 seconds to spit it out the other side. The laminating looked very professional. I could not be happier with this purchase. Highly recommend!

I purchased one of these Scotch thermal laminators at Walmart. I've been very pleased, and have used it frequently to laminate things for my classroom. I recommend this one. I've not been using the Scotch brand pouches, but rather the ones I can get from Sam's Club, about 200 for about $20. They work really well. I do not recommend cutting into the pouches before you laminate. I tried that, and almost messed up my laminator. (The directions tell you not to do that, but the temptation to squeeze the most good out of a pouch got to me. Just don't try it.) The laminator is a good one.

I did not buy this from this seller. However, I love this laminator. Most are far more costly than this one. This one is great for personal use. I laminate pictures, my daughter's art projects, etc. It does take about 3 minutes to be "ready" but for the price that is fine with me.

It does laminate - it does take one or two rotations through the laminator to ensure it stays, once through though, the lamination sheets would come back apart. Also, I get a TON of air bubbles, and I use the Scotch brand laminating pockets. So, I haven't really laminated much except when necessary as it hasn't really worked as well as I was expecting and what I've experienced with some other more expensive Fellows Laminators for work.'

Wrist Watches - casual watch, wrist watches


This face of this watch is HUGE yet the watch is light considering its size. It is very good looking watch and very eye catching The band is really large so, it is recommended that it be sized. I would highly recommend this watch. Invicta Men's 1123 Sea Spider Green Dial Black Polyurethane and Stainless Steel Watch

The face is huge and it looks terrific.



Pros: glows in the dark. Very flashy. Invicta offers a free upgrade to 5 yr warranty. Waterproof to 100 meters.



Cons: Spider doesn't move. Knew that when I bought it but it would have been cooler if it moved. Had a hard time finding a jeweler who was willing and could shorten the band. Very flashy.



I know, I listed flashy in both. As Monk would say, it's a blessing and a curse.

When I bought it, it was just over $100 and I was shocked to see the price today at around $500. I doubt I would have paid that much, no matter how cool. - Sport Watch - Wrist Watches - Casual Watch - Invicta'

High Heel Pump


These shoes are amazing!!! I got the natural snake skin pair...and i was shocked how soft the snake skin was!! theyre true to size...i wear a 6.5 but sometimes 7...got these in 6.5 an theyre a smidge too big...but other than that...no complaints!!! Nine West Women's Rocha Pump,Black Leather,8.5 M US

I don't know if it is the platform or something is getting in the way, but I cannot seem to keep this pump on my heel. I already added a heel insert and I can't go down a size or my toes won't go in. It almost seems like they didn't make the back heel area tall enough to grip my heel when i walk. I am not sure if anyone else has this problem with them, but I have only wore mine twice and won't be able to wear them again unless i can figure out a way to secure them to my heel/foot.

I read all the reviews of these shoes about how comfortable they were and was soo looking forward to them. But they were AWFUL. It hurt just to try to slip my foot in for the first time and after 5 minutes of wearing them around the house, I couldn't stand it anymore and printed out the return slip. The angle of these heels puts tremendous pressure on the toes, which are jammed into a fairly narrow vee. I can't imagine what my feet would have felt like after wearing these for a day. Agony. I'm very disappointed.

I got these shoes in grey reptile and I love them. I usually have problems with platform pumps having a short toe box meaning that my feet slide forward too much in a shoe and it makes my toes hurt. This pair was a dream. I bought my normal size, an 8, and they fit well without making my feet slide forward too much. The toe box is the perfect length.



These shoes look amazing on the foot. From the side they're a little weird looking when they're not on your feet. Trust me, though, get to a mirror and your legs look a mile long in these. A-ma-zing.



They're also very comfortable to wear. I actually ended up putting them on for a few hours when I first got them just to test that theory. I was not disappointed--it's an incredibly wearable shoe. Comfortable and cute enough for work but still interesting and sexy enough for going out. Love it.



One star off because the grey reptile is man-made, not leather (minor issue).

Honestly... I NEVER wear heels as high as these. Why? Because I can't walk, stand or even breathe with shoes higher than 3 inches.

The reason why I got these was that I realized that the platform was high enough so I wouldn't feel as high as it actually is.

And it's unbelievable how COMFORTABLE these are!

I have pretty wide feet and I wear nine west 9.5 but these run a liiitle big. Nothing that a shoe pad can't solve.

I LOVED loved loved it and recommend it!

These are the high shoes for women who can't stand too high shoes!

True to size, generous toe box. Nice platform look without being ridiculously over the top; able to walk without the feeling of wobbling on chunks of wood. Have purchased this style in 6.5 and 7 and have found both to be comfortable and wearable, not too narrow. Cushioned foot bed. Quality construction and materials one would expect from Nine West.

I bought this style (in the chololate brown) for a wedding. The first day I wore them for 16 hours! They are the most comfortable heels I have ever owned! I usually wear a 7, but the store clerk suggested I buy a 6.5 and put a gel insert to keep my foot in place. I now want to buy this shoe in every color!

I have the Rocha pump in two different colors. I'm actually going to buy more colors. They are SUPER comfortable. I have a bit of a wide foot and these shoes fit perfectly. I am up and down on my feet all day and there is ample cushioning at the ball of my foot to keep me happy all day long. Obviously, each person and each foot are different, so I don't know how they would fit on other people, but I feel like these shoes were made just for me!

These pumps are very comfortable for the height that they are. I purchased them in light gray though that's more of a beige than a gray. When ordering these shoes I think a half size lower would be a good option since they do tend to be loose in the heel area, I've solved my issue with them by getting some dr. scholls for her tape and now they stay on perfectly fine.

They look very nice with work pants and I'm sure they would look great for the evening as well though I haven't tried them out yet at night.

SO far they have been great for work and walking around during work hours, my feet don't feel like they're in pumps and that's more than what I had hoped for.'

I guess it's how you measure. The "box" part of this carrier measures 19 x 6 x 8 inches. It's about the same as a competitive carrier sold at Home Depot for about the same price, but lighter in weight. Of course Amazon has sales from time to time. In any event, after getting over the disappointment about size, it's a fairly nice unit and offers an advantage in that the main compartment is divided into three parts whereas the HD version has one large compartment. That makes it more useful for me. There's plenty of nooks and crannies for a great many tools, including on the space dividers. It comes with a strap that I'll use for hanging it up near the workbench for easy access to the tools. For some reason Amazon sent it in a 40" carton. Custom LeatherCraft 1530 43-Pocket Electrical and Maintenance Tool Carrier

I am a journeyman electrician for a software development company, and my toolbag is with me almost all day. My boss had this same bag and I was impressed with many of the features. I purchased one for myself and have been using it for the better part of a month. Overall, the bag is high quality with a lot of nice features. The end pouches are great for holding my frequently used tools like linemans, dykes, nut drivers, and screwdrivers. the small plano-style box is very handy for things like wire nuts and ground tails. On the negative side, the center pouch is a little too short to hold my hammer and my jab saw. They both stick out one side at an angle, and have fallen out a couple times. Also, the shoulder strap isn't padded and when you have 20-30 lbs of tools in it, it starts to hurt pretty quick. It's still one of the best toolbags I've owned, and I have had quite a few.

Bought to replace the 23 pocket version. This is an awesome bag. I'm a 5'9" 180# man, and this bag is just small/light enough to carry around full. Any bigger and it would have been pretty unwieldy, but this is perfect. I didn't find the detachable end pouch to be particularly useful, but that's my single complaint. the pictures don't show it well, but one great feature is a metal "Tape Measure" tab riveted into the largest center pocket, right underneath the handle. If you use a smaller clip-on belt pouch, you can keep your favorite few tools in the pouch, and clip it to this little tab when you want to store it, so all your tools are together without you having to transfer them back and fourth. Mine holds an assortment screwdrivers, a complete set of allen wrenches, assorted pliers, three different wire strippers, three different crimpers, two flashlights, a tone/probe kit, a butt set, a DMM, a field soldering kit, a punchdown tool, and a lot of smaller tools, with a bit of room to spare. Just the ticket for any electronic field service. Highly reccomended.

I do a lot of "handyman" repairs for myself and friends but I am not a professional. I like to have everything I may need in one place to start plumbing, electrical or other repairs when I walk into a home. Unlike the lift lid tool boxes I have used in the past this carrier, with all of its 43 pockets, allows finding the tool quickly and keeps everything nicely organized. You don't have to empty out tools to find the one you need. It is made of heavy material and is rivited at the handle. It is very lightweight and when fully loaded it can be carried easily. It has a small parts box for a few screws, nails, wall anchors, etc that may get the repair done without bringing more boxes into the home. This carrier is very well designed and will last anyone a life time.

My hubby had enough of his bucket, and looked for a long time for just the right bag. He loves this thing. His whole bucket fit in with room to spare, loves the tape loop, he can find things now. Great bag.

I have now had 2 of these bags in the last 6 years. The original bag lasted just about 6 years before I managed to wear it out. I'm not easy with the bag, I pick it up however I can, and when I get to the job, I DROP it on the floor and the darn thing holds together time after time. The only reason I had to replace it was that I kept putting sheet metal shears, needle knose pliers, and dykes in the bag with the pointed ends down and over time, they made a hole in the bottom of the bag next to the side, same with the screwdrivers. This time the pointed ends are up and it seems to work better for me. The only week spot seems to be the shoulder strap rings. They pry open over time, I TIG'd the ends closed and no more problems.

This bag is better than anything you will find at one of the box stores and big enough to get to heavy to carry if you really load it up. Good value and durability for the money.

I purchased this for my dad for christmas. He is a mobile repaiman, and has to lug his tools from hiw work van, to his work area at every job. He likes it, and says its just the right size, not too heavy when its loaded full of tools, but still has plenty of space. In fact he sais theres so many pockets, that he still has empty spots.

This is a very well designed tool bag. It provides many pockets just the right size & variety for all your tools without making it unwieldy. Great economy of space. The item arrived slightly deformed due to shipping in a box. However, I think it will return to its designed shape over a few days. - Bag - Bears - Custom Leathercraft - Equipment'
