Rotary Tool Accessories - dremel, tile cutting bit


My home project last year was to remodel two bathrooms. The one bathroom, I tore down to the studs and nailed up Durock and then I tiled the first 4 feet of all the walls and the entire tub enclosure. The second bathroom, I retiled the floor and the shower enclosure. I had a wet tile saw and a rotozip tile bit. These tools made the job a breeze.You can't cut floor tiles with the rotozip tool. I tried, it doesn't work too well. But it cuts through Durock and wall tiles like butter. When you use the Rotozip tool for the first time, try cutting some scrap pieces of tile first. It will help you get a feel of how to control the tool. RotoZip TC1 Tilecut Bit

I tiled a bath vanity last weekend and thought I'd give the rotozip tile bit a try. I was a little doubtful of the possibility of making decent cuts without a wet saw (they say a dremel will cut tile too, yeah right). The rotozip worked wonderful on making the curve cuts for the tiles around the sink opening. It cut them like butter! I was amazed. I believe the only tool that would do a better job would be a wet scroll saw (and we all have one of those out in the shop)! The only thing that didn't give it 5 stars is that it is poor on making straight cuts (but a manual tile cutter does that in a snap).

I am in the process of laying about 250 sf of tile and purchased these bits to allow me to make cuts in 1/2" backerboard (cement board). After one painfiully slow cut, the bit broke. I contacted Rotozip and they recommended using the RZ250 (1/4" shank bit). It's working out very well! RotoZip says that this bit should also work, but I think not. If you are cutting thicker cement board, pay the extra [money] and get the RZ250 bit.

Alright--imagine being in the middle of a tile project and needing to make a cut. This is your first big tiling project so you don't really have any special tools like a wet saw--and you of course hadn't had to foresight to rent one. Well this was the position I found myself in one day when I was tiling my bathroom. My solution was to order the rotozip bit and I must say I have been very pleased with it. This tile bit makes it easy to cut both straight and curved lines. This is wonderful in itself because when I finally sprung for the wet saw I found out that it couldn't even really cut curved lines. This makes this bit so incredibly worth the money it costs because it can do twice as much as an expensive wet saw--and the bit is also cheaped then renting a wet saw for a day. This bit gives a really great cut and doesn't crack or shatter the tile. Also the rotozip is so easy to use making using this bit a pure pleasure. Obviously though if you are undertaking a huges project with lots of cuts you may be better off to rent a big saw or buy your own--but this little bit is great for projects that don't require a huge amount of cutting. I have been pleased with all the rotozip attachments and this tile cutting bit is great!!

This is a great product and I'll tell you all why. I bought this with the intention NOT of using it in a Rotozip (I don't have one) but in my Firestorm cordless 12V. So I offered it up and started drilling into some wall tiles for a soap dish holder. It went through like nothing and I was literally floored by how easy it cut through ceramic. Trying to experiment a bit, I then offered the bit into my Dremel rotary (two speed). WELL!Talk about a knife through butter, the only regret I had was that I thought I had excellent performance with the drill and spent too much time using the drill. With the Dremel it was like the tile wasn't there. If you're into tile cutting in any form - BUY IT at any price.

roto tile bits will do a good job on thin ceramic tiles for cutouts-straight cuts are hard-thick tile,marble,etc-forget it--bits burn up quickly on cement backer board and at $5.99 are not cost effective. Buy a small diamond blade for your 4" grinder--makita-dewalt etc. which are very effective, with a little practice they work fine--wear a dust mask and eye protection

I thought this tool was the perfect solution for my tiling project. Heed the warnings about not using it on floor tile or thick ceramic tile. I burned up a blade trying to drill through floor tile. It worked to make an irregular cut in the floor tile before it was installed but it took FOREVER. It was actually quicker for me to drive to the hardware store and have them cut the tile.It did work great on the cement backer board. I just noticed the diamond wheel for cutting tile and I am hoping that will be better. - Dremel - Tile Cutting Bit - Rotozip Bits - Rotary Tool Accessories'

Quick Release - heart rate monitor, quick release


This kit contains a velcro wrist strap with a sturdy plastic mounting clip. The original strap pieces are permanently removed using the supplied tool, then the strap pins are replaced into the 305 body. The pins can then clip into the mount on the velcro strap, or the identical part of the bike mount. Removing the unit from the bike and putting it on your wrist, or vice-versa, takes less than 5 seconds.



The reviewer who said you have to take several minutes to re-attach the original wrist straps after taking the 305 off your bike seems to have failed to grasp the concept; the velcro strap *permanently* replaces the original straps.



The only potential downside I can think of is that the clip on the velcro wrist strap could hang up on long sleeved clothing, like a wetsuit, so triathletes will want to put the strap on during T1. Other than that, this is a very handy piece of kit! Garmin Forerunner Quick Release Kit

Bought the kit to mount the Forerunner 305 on my handlebars. It was simple and puts the buttons where they need to be. It is much more convenient and safe to look at the bars instead of turning my wrist and head to see it on my arm. More importantly, it keeps the sweat off of the contacts on the rear of the unit and that has to help.

I am very pleased with this accessory for my Garmin 305. I find that this cloth and velcro wristband is more comfortable and adjustable than the plastic one that comes with the 305. You do have to get used to the release mechanism, but once you do it is easy and quick. It's great to be able to use the 305 as a wireless bike computer.

I bought the kit, but the watch doesn't stay that well connected to the bike mount or the wrist mount. It uses tension on the watch strap pins to hold the watch to the mount. It's a nice idea, but when mounted on my mountain bike, it popped off with even just a little jarring. You don't want to have to stop and then search the woods for your Forerunner. It's not that easy to find. I took it skiing also with the velcro wrist band and the unit came off the watch mount when I was just tapping my poles on the snow. I'm glad it didn't come off on a run because going back uphill and looking for it would have been awful.



Now I use a Polar watch mount on my bike and leave the Garmin on its original watch strap. It's easy to get on and off, and doesn't come off unless I undo the strap. It feels so much more secure. I've had it come off the mount once in a mountain bike crash but it was still looped around the handlebars so it didn't get anywhere. The Polar mount is less expensive also.

For those who are unaware of what the kit is: If you plan on using your Forerunner for Running AND Biking, you need this kit to attach the device to your bike. You also need the Velcro wristband that is in the kit. In order to move the Garmin from your wrist to your bike, you need to have the Garmin attached to the wristband differently than they way it attached to the original strap (like a watch) The kit contains a tool to remove the Garmin from the original wristband. The quick release kit comes with both the bike mount AND a velcro wristband with an easy release mechanism on both pieces. I love the Velcro wristband as it better fits my small wrists (5'2" female) I have not had any problems with the Garmin attached to the bike mount, and I ride off road; although I have not had any major wipe-outs. I hope this helps explain what the kit is - when I was looking at the options, I almost bought the bike mount alone. You can do that, but would have to remove the Garmin from the wristband each and every time you wanted to use it for biking... You need the separate wristband in order to easily use the Garmin for both running and biking.

I have used the Garmin for a little over a year and always had to rig it when on the bike. The quick release mount makes it wasy to use on a run, unclip it from the wrist and clip it on the racing bike and off you go! The velcro band is more comfortable then the original band. I even got a second bike mount for my second bike for commuting.

If I had known how much better I'd like the flexible velcro strap than the cheesey plastic strap that comes on the Forerunner, I'd have bought this product long before I ever decided to try the Forerunner on my bike. The plastic strap that comes with the Forerunner was always a little too loose or a little too tight, and when you sweat on it it gets slimey and slides around all over the place. But this velcro strap is infinitely adjustable and sits nicely against the skin without chaffing or sliding. I just used it for a marathon and it "disappeared" in use and became invisible to me, just as you want your equipment to do in that situation.

Nice product, easy to install.

The armband from your original 205/305 is removed, and replaced with a hard plastic cradle attached to a velcro armband. Your Garmin can be detached from this armband, and inserted into a similar device attached to your bike handlebars. (Can also be used to attach the Garmin to, e.g., a rowing shell.)

Since the plastic cradle must flex in order to insert or remove te Garmin, I am a bit worried that it will break soon. No problems in one month of use, though.

This kit is a MUST for anyone who runs and bikes. The bike mount works flawlessly and has no trouble staying put once the zip ties are cinched down (it includes a small rubber pad to provide some extra grip). Once the Forerunner display is configured properly in "Bike" mode, it's every bit as good as the Edge 305.



For running, I find the velcro wrist strap a bit more comfortable than the watch-style strap that the Forerunner 305 comes with. The velcro strap also has the advantage of keeping the back of the Forerunner from direct contact with your wrist. This prevents sweat from getting on the contacts and also makes it easier to hear audible alarms you might have configured on the Forerunner. The velcro strap is also an advantage for triathletes: wear the wrist strap during the swim (sans Forerunner; it's waiting for you on your bike), and during the bike -> run transition, it's a snap to quickly get the Forerunner off your bike and onto your wrist.



If you have multiple bikes, you can also get just an additional quick-release bike mount (sold as a "replacement") so you're not stuck with extra wrist straps. Combine the Forerunner 305 with this kit and the GSC 10 cadence sensor, and you have a pretty sweet wireless bike setup that doubles as a fantastic running device.



The only thing that's tricky about this is getting the zip ties cinched down tight. A pair of needle-nose pliers is helpful here. - Cycling - Heart Rate Monitor - Quick Release - Gps'

Bed Blankets - soft, wool blanket


This blanket is in fine quality, but the double layers are not even warm enough for the California winter, which is not that cold comparing to the east coast. I wish that I could return it. This very thin blanket can't measure up to the Faribault Mills (closed for business now) wool blanket that I bought a few years ago. Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool Washable Queen Pebble Blanket

The blanket is not quite as heavy as I had expected. It sure is a butter color!



It keeps me nice and warm even when the room blower seems to thing we need more cool air.



I like it better every night I use it.

Like this blanket. Most of the big store only sell poly. I preferr wool for year round comfort. The weight on this blanket is right for me. Notice it do not creat static with my other sheets. Worth the price.

I live in southeast Pennsylvania where temperatures (and specifically wind chills) can be extremely unbearable during the winter. We're talking temperatures around 20 degrees with 40-60 mph wind gusts making it feel more like -10 degrees. I'm not exaggerating about the intensity of the wind either. Just ask anyone who lives here during the winter months.



This means whenever I have to annoyingly endure one of those December, January or February nights where the wind is positively relentless outside resulting in my entire house shaking uncontrollably, this blanket does its job, and THAT my friends is truly amazing.



This Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool Washable Queen White Blanket really helped me survive the last 6 winters. I'm the kind of person who gets cold VERY easily. I can wear all the sweatshirts, sweatpants, mittens, beanie hats, thick socks in the *world* and they won't help me at *all* as far as falling asleep is concerned. However, that all changed with this specific wool blanket.



I am sooooo glad my family bought this blanket for me back in 2005. I've been enjoying it ever since. Oh sure, you still have to dress SOMEWHAT warm in order to feel comfortable obviously, but trust me on this one folks- a wool blanket really stores your body heat underneath of it the entire night through, regardless of the weather conditions.



I admit I'm the kind of person who sleeps with my head under the blankets because I can't stand my face being cold while trying to sleep. If I were to get cold with my face being exposed in the air, it wouldn't be fair to criticize the blanket. So perhaps in order to fully appreciate this wool blanket, you need to sleep with your face under the covers too. Just something to keep in mind. This blanket protects the areas of your body that are covered.

This blanket is an excellent value for the money. It is snugly warm without weight. I am very glad I decided to switch to a wool blanket. I live in upstate New York and this helps me keep warm without having to turn up the thermostat on really cold winter nights.

This blanket is just right. I grew up with Hudson's Bay blankets, which are often too thick and too heavy. This Pendelton wool blanket is perfect, not too thin and not too thick. If this blanket is too thin for you, then you probably are keeping your house far too cold at night. - Soft - Fleece - Wool Blanket - Basil'

Adjustable Wrench - wrenches, socket


This tool is a great idea, but the B&D version isn't a great tool.



The problem is that it attempts to fit both SAE and metric sizes. While there are a few sizes that are very close (19mm and 3/4" are within 1%, 16mm is about 5/8"), most of the sizes are not. That means this wrench is sloppy on almost every fastener. The looseness combined with the flat six point sides puts pressure on just the tips, leading to rounded nuts and bolt heads.



I still see the potential of this design. Craftsman has individual tools for metric and SAE, and I've put the metric one on my Christmas list to see if that version lives up to my hopes. Black & Decker MSW100 Ready Wrench

In my home shop, I have a variety of power tools that require height and tension adjustments and use machine bolts and screws for that purpose. I like a clutter free shop and sometimes the need to have a ratchet and a handful of sockets out is a bit annoying, this item helps alleviate that.



As advertised and already listed, this wrench has 16 of the most frequent socket sizes installed on one hand tool. I can dial the socket size I need and not have to frequently pull out a socket set. I do work on my lawnmower and I also take apart, store, and pull back out furniture items that use nuts and bolts also. Would I say that this one tool would replace a mechanic's tool set? No, probably not. But it does make life a little easier for me. If I need to perform any car repair, I do have my ratchet sets. If I am under the car and in difficult spots under the hood, a ratchet still is the best choice. It may ,however, be quite useful as a breaker bar.



Special items to note -



1. The sockets are 6 point and not the cheaper 12 point versions. For those that are unfamiliar with the difference, professionals will use 6 point sockets because they have less of a tendency to round over bolts. 12 point sockets can do a lot of damage to a bolt when applied with too much torque. I am pleased they went with the higher end sockets.



2. This tool, in most situations, will reduce the need for deep sockets and will reduce the amount of times you need to use a wrench instead of a socket. Sometimes bolts are long and when you attempt to use a socket, the socket is too short to fit over the bolt. I run into this when assembling and disassembling my kitchen table. I have to use a wrench because the socket bottoms out on the bolt before touching the nut. The way this is designed, the bolt (most times) could slide through the socket on the opposite side, allowing the socket to grip the nut firmly.



3. Only complaint of this tool (and not really a large one) is that the 45 and 90 degree stops for the sockets do not lock. There is a stop for the angles, but not a full locking mechanism. During high torque situations, this might make for more tricky situations. This is where the choice of using 6 point, rather than 12 point sockets is a large factor.

I bought this as a gift for my father and one for myself. We both love this tool. It does not replace a large socket set completely, but it does replace 90% of the socket use I have. The sizes they have on this are by far the most commonly used sizes. The build on the items seems very high quality as well. It can be a bit tough in really tight places where racheting is important, but overall for most applications this does the trick. It is nice to not have to search my sockets for the right size. It is all in one here, so no chance of losing them. A great idea from Black and Decker!

I love the idea of having a wrench with all of the sizes on it. I don't normally go for gimmicks but it's not a bad idea for general repairs just don't throw away your socket set.



I was given this Black and Decker as a gift. I was skeptical about the sockets handling both metric and SAE sizes. I was correct in my fears, the wrench doesn't grab the nuts as tight as they should and you get a lot of rounding off and the inset metric size doesn't get complete hold of the nuts and the same thing happens. My question is is why didn't they make two different wrenches, one for SAE and one for metric? I looked online to find out if somebody did make what I wanted and found out a company called Thorson makes them. I also found Craftsman also makes them buy I think they are identical but Craftsman adds it's name and then charges you more. So I bought the Thorsons and now I am happy. They are what I would have wanted in the first place.



You get what you pay for.



Update: I found the set of Thorson wrenches at Costco for only $17. I paid $30.

Due to the design and size, this wrench does not work in about 65% of the situations tried. Also the standard/metric use for each socket head is no good. If either the metric or standard sizes fit well and tight, then the opposite on the same socket head does not. Very poor product.

I do believe this is a good idea, however this particular wrench is very poorly made. It is very sloppy when you apply it to the nut and it never fits tight. Seems like just another gimmicky tool from B&D. Unfortunately I'm returning mine and will stick to the real wrenches in my tool box.

I originally purchased this Black & Decker MSW100 Ready Wrench at Menards for $29.00 plus tax. I liked this wrench so much I am buying 3 other wrenches at amazon as Christmas gifts. The wrench is clearly marked in red for inches on one side and blue for metric on the other side. It is a solid tool, a little under 10 inches in length. It is a handy tool and I recommend it for any toolbox. - Wrenches - Socket - Tools - Adjustable Wrench'

Manual Pencil Sharpeners - old school, school supplies


After having enough of battery-eating weak electric models, we decided to do it "old school." I have fond memories of those sturdy, satisfying wall-mounted manual pencil sharpeners from elementary school. This model would be decent if it were manufactured properly...(but isn't that true of sooooo many things?) Okay, here's my assessment: Either one of the steel receptacle centering fins was honed at an incorrect angle or one of the twin barrel cutters was set at the wrong angle, or both.



When you were in grade school did you ever place way too much downward angular pressure on your pencil as you were sharpening it? If you ever did, then you probably also remember returning to your desk and discovering half the "lead" still covered by the wood barrel of the pencil. Employing a writing instrument prepared in such a way is like scraping and scratching with a pointy stick, rather than the smooth unfettered flow of freshly revealed graphite. I swear, what happened to product testing or, for that matter, product quality?



Fast forward to present day: No, I did not place too much angular pressure on the barrel of my present-day pencil...the afore-described result was from gingerly CENTERING the pencil in the sharpener before turning the crank. (I think I got the "centering" thing down to a science after 12 years of daily manual pencil sharpening.) And, yes, I tried many, many pencils to make sure it wasn't just a poorly manufactured pencil. I wanted soooo badly for this product to work, but it just wasn't to be :-(



It's shocking. And yet, disturbingly, I *somehow* have gradually come to expect such disappointment from my purchases over the past couple of decades.



I would pay *4* times as much money for a 100% American-made quality product...if I could *find* a 100% American-made quality product. Come on America, let's get on (or in this case, off) the "stick" and get the "lead" out! X-Acto Model KS Table- or Wall-Mount Pencil Sharpener (1031)

A great sharpener, I have two girls in my house (ages 7 and 13) and they have broke nearly a dozen plastic and various electric models. This sharpener is very heavy duty and solidly built. I think it would stand up to a class room full of kids. I plan on buying one for my shop.

I've decided to replace this pencil sharpener because it has been destroying too many pencils. I have the same problem so many reviewers have had - namely it tends to sharpen only one side of the pencil when it doesn't chew right through them. In the end, I find myself having to remove the wood on the unsharpened side by hand, all too often breaking the lead in the process. We'd have -much- better luck with a cheap 50 cent sharpener, or a kitchen knife, or a machete...blender...

I thought this was going to be a good sharpener, but it doesnt matter what pencil I use, it just does not sharpen well at all. I'm about to pitch it in the trash. Only one side of the pencil sharpens while the wood remains on the other half, making it impossible to write with. It's junk.

As usual X-Acto has somehow managed to de-evolve the pencil sharpener. My first experience with X-Acto was with a simple electric sharpener. The quick convenience I had taken for granted with my Boston 19 was not possible with my new five-minute-per-pencil X-Acto. My next experience was with the $130 + "heavy duty" X-Acto in the department center in my school. Well before the end of the year it was simply an impressive looking paper weight. Finally, this rotary model was installed in my classroom. Basically, it ate every pencil at an impossible-to-write with angle. I tried out three others in neighboring classrooms. I did not have the same problem; rather, the others were worse: noisy, grinding pencil crushers that no student would use. My only option is to stock up on the small plastic manual sharpeners that frequently break but at least manage to sharpen a couple of pencils before they bite the dust. That's much more than I can say for my X-Actos.

Finding a pencil sharpener in my home was impossible. We have/had dozens of the small plastic hand held sharpeners come and go. Never to be found when I actually needed one. So I decided that mounting a hand-cranked sharpener to a fixed point would solve one of my life's many problems. I always welcome a quick easy way to eliminate a chronic hassle.

Anyway, I wanted the same model that I commonly found in my grammar school classrooms. My parents also had one mounted in their garage while I was a kid. Those things were built like Army tanks. Never seemed to wear out. Unfortunately, it appears the quality of that model, while still available, is now lacking in quality.



So after searching Amazon, it would seem this X-acto model is the best hand-cranked sharpener available. Easily mounts to any wooden surface with the included wood screws. Performs great. After I mounted it, I grabbed 10-12 new pencils and "got crankin". Each pencil was quickly sharpened to a perfect point. Quality seems solid with the all steel construction. No downsides could be found in this product. On top of being a well-regarded product, its also one of the cheaper models on the market. Best of both worlds. - Manual Pencil Sharpeners - School Supplies - Pencil Sharpener - Old School'

Yoga Towel


My wife and I avidly practice Bikram yoga, sometimes as often as 6 classes a week. We started our practice using bath towels and quickly moved to yoga towels for the added slip-free design, sweat-wicking and fast drying composition of the Gaiam towels.



Briefly, my PROS and CONS;

PROS

- Once slightly damp provide a very slip-free surface

- bunches only slightly, I usually have no issues in Bikram but my towel moves a bit during active Vinyasa sessions.

- Wash them and hang to dry, they are often completely dry in a few hours

- Hold up fairly well after washing (which you need to do after every class)



CONS

- We now have purchased 6 of these towels since we started in January 2011. We needed at least 4 (2 towels each) to rotate every other day or for when we do double classes on weekends.

- After 3 months the towels pick up a mildew smell that is impossible to remove. I have washed with baking soda, vinegar, hung out in the sun, tossed the older ones in a dryer, but the smell is horrible.

-After 3 months of regular use and maybe 30-40 washings, I've had to throw out 2 of the towels.



I am going to try the Yogitoes towel that is a little more expensive, to see if the towels hold up a little longer. I will update this review once I have tried the other brand. Gaiam Thirsty Yoga Towel, Dark Blue

I own two of these yoga towels, and I have found them to be durable, highly absorbent, and an overall great value. I can't believe people actually spend 2-3 times as much on other brands! I practice yoga 5-6 times per week, so I need a towel that will stand up to lots of use and washing.This is a perfectly good towel that fulfils my needs: a non-slip, absorbent surface that completely covers my yoga mat. I have used this towel for both Bikram-style hot yoga classes as well as Vinyasa flow classes, and it works well for both. It's lightweight and dries really quickly too. This towel doesn't shrink or fade either, even after dozens of washings, unlike the shrunken Yogitoes towels I see others using in my yoga classes. I would have given it 5 stars instead of 4, but it sometimes doesn't stay put perfectly - I've found that I may have to straighten it once during an especially active flowing class. Overall, I'm satisfied with this yoga towel, and I see no need to waste money on the pricier brands.

I am brand new to yoga and enrolled in a hot yoga class. I learned that I should pick a mat that is not slippery or sleak - so I picked an Atlus mat which has small grips (so the towel does not slip). I can easily spin around on the towel and it does not bunch up. The only challenge is in the warrior pose; the wider the feet, you have to really dig your heels in so that you don't slip - but any towel without grips would have the same issue. The towel dries quickly and washes up nicely.

I have two of these towels and do Bikram 5-7 days a week. It works as well as a more expensive yoga towel. I wash it after each class and since I rotate towels, I really didn't want to pay the money for more expensive towels. I've used mine for six months and it smells clean after I wash it and lay it out to dry. I put it outside as much as possible. I sweat like a river and it does a good job. Ok so once in awhile it does a minor bunch, but a quick flick of my toe and it is fine. I don't find that it slips at all, but maybe that is more muscle use than trying to push into the towel.

I purchased this mat to use in a hot yoga class and I was disappointed with how it worked. While the texture was nice and washes well, it did not stay put during my yoga practice and i had to keep straightening it out. It would recommend getting a mat towel with grip on the bottom if you are doing a faster paced practice.

Towel is great for my hot yoga class. Exactly what I needed to keep me from soaking my mat. It is not completely slid free, however...soemtimes I have to move it out of the way for real deep leg poses.

Considering the price, this towel isn't too bad. But if you do hotyoga you Will slip on it. It helps to splash water on it before you practice. And I still like the towel. The color is nice, and it deals easily with a lot of water/sweat.

I just love this towel. Small profile, and soaks up a ton. Much more comfortable than using a beach towel or a bath towel. Not sure why some reviews are saying it bunches up. I have not experienced excessive movement. And besides, you move around a bit with Bikram....even a normal towel can move around a bit. This towel seems to stay where I put it. Don't spend a ton of $$ on a different towel. This one is perfect!'
