Shoe Polish - magic, shoe polish

I applied a healthy layer of this simple, self-buffing wax until my shoes had a solid gleam, and went to work feeling slick and professional. But when I got home, my shoes looked only slightly less battered than when I set off. I don't have the world's most strenuous job (I teach English), and if this stuff can't survive three hours of lectures on literature, how can someone doing real back-breaking work expect it to last? A proper shoe-shine kit, with brushes and rags and polish in a can, costs more money and requires more work, but at least you know your shoes will still shine at the end of the day. Kiwi Scuff Magic Shoe Polish (BROWN)

I bought some of this stuff to cover lots of heavy scuff on the front and back of my leather Ecco shoes. The product is brown in color and is very watery as it comes off the sponge... but it works! Even upon close examination of the shoes most of the scuffs are undetectable and the ones you can see appear to be slightly darker than surrounding leather. But again- that was at a close look- no one could tell unless they were eye to eyelets with your shoes. My only advice is to have paper towels handy due to the watery aspect of the product. But it truly brought new life to my shoes.

I love this product, but Wal-Mart stopped carrying it at the store I frequent. I feel that it works better then the colored shine, and is more versatile to boot! I work at a job where I have to mop up at the end of the night so my shoes get wreaked if I don't care for them and this product is the best I've found.

Whatever happened to shoe polish? As a kid, we had to polish our shoes every Saturday night so as to be ready and looking spiffy for Sunday morning services. Well, have you ever tried to buy shoe polish these days? Difficult, isn't it? What ever happened to Shinola? Well, at least a few kinds of shoes are still made of leather and the leather still gets somewhat scuffed. In looking around, I finally discovered this Kiwi Leather Scuff Cover. It works quite well. It has a little sponge rubber top. Just invert the bottle to get some of the polish into the sponge rubber and wipe onto the shoes. I let the shoes totally dry and then give them a quick rub with a soft cloth. The shoes look like new, at least at a distance. Good useful product!Gary Peterson - Scuff - Magic - Shoe Polish'

Expanding File Jackets - grocery shopping, coupon holder

Visit Store Now !!

My last coupon holder was large, soft vinyl and very heavy. It really weighed my purse down. I bought this a couple of weeks ago, spent about an hour putting the labels in and resorting my coupons. Used it that afternoon at the grocery store and was very pleased. The elastic band holds it tightly shut. It's very lightweight and easy to use. You have to fold the longer coupons (like the ones that print at the grocery store) but for the price it's a real deal. I'd definitely recommend it. C-Line Biodegradable 13-Pocket Expanding File, Coupon Size, 1 File Folder, Color May Vary 48410

This is perfect for my coupons and is comparable to the one I bought at The Container Store for 3X as much money. It expands enough to accomodate many, many coupons and the attached dividers will keep coupons within their category. This comes with month and alphabet labels you can slide into the tab on top of each divider, so this organizer could be used for many things besides coupons. Or you can flip the labels over to make your own categories, which is what I did. Overall, totally happy with my purchase and highly recommend.

This is a very nice coupon organizer. I just got it last week; I was able to put a lot of coupons in it, in 13 compartments, and was able to close it very nicely. I am getting another one bc I have thousands of coupons to organize. Price is just right, and the size is pretty good (except for the long ones that grocery stores give you), you gotta fold those long ones. But, a good tidy coupon organizer, I must say!

perfect size for a busy mom. lightweight and many pockets. I have been looking for something sturdy and not expensive and this item fits that bill. If you like making fashion statements, this is not for you. But for those who are particular, this is perfect. You can't choose your color, but I don't mind for this type of item.

I bought 2 of these thinking that for the price they would be flimsy and fall apart with regular use. This is not the case at all! I use this 2-3 times per week for the past 6+ months and it doesn't show any evidence of wear.

I really like this, and for the money totally worth it. It's exactly like the one I had but with 50% more tabs. So now it will be much easier to find coupons since I have 6 extra tabs. The tabs they come with are prelabled with months, but I just turned them over and wrote my own 12 categories... The only complaint I have is I wish I could have picked the color, I would have chosen purple, but the Teal I got sent is also pretty.

This is good for the price, but it has the following issues:

1. There is no way to pin the cover in the Open position. When the flap is open, it just hangs, jutting out backwards. There should be a clip or another button for the elastic band to hold it tightly against the back of the product. You have to constantly hold it to keep the coupons in the open, otherwise the lid gets in your way

2. A little small for my liking. Has a lot of slots for coupons, but doesn't have the room to effectively use them. It's too hard to manipulate the small slots and handle the coupons in the slots without pulling the coupons out

This is minor stuff, but enough for me to only give it 3 stars. - Coupon - Expanding File Jackets - Grocery Shopping - Coupon Holder'

Cell Phone Accessory - cell phone accessory, power inverters

Visit Store Now !!

The output rating for this adapter is 1000ma or 1 amp which is about 1/10 of the power available from the battery in a car through the cigarette lighter socket. This is why a few reviewers found that it would not power their high-power devices such as air inflators and spotlights. However, it is ideal for lower power consumption devices such as GPS and most cell phones and it allows you to take them on trips without having to drag along all their associated AC adapters.

We also provide a toll free consumer hotline so customers can talk to a customer service representative regarding their application, and we encourage customers to call with any questions or concerns. Powerline By Original Power 0900-56 12-Volt DC-AC/1000 mA Power Socket with Enhanced Digital Power

I recently purchased this nifty little adapter and have been very pleased with its performance and continue to find new uses for it. I first bought it for use in hotel rooms when I travel, to charge my cell phone phone thus saving me the hassle of bringing both an AC and DC charger.

I've also found that it will power ANY DC product from a standard electrical outlet. Our family has used it to charge our GPS unit and well as operate our DC TV/DVD combo from a regular outlet. Now all the DVD's we bring on road trips we can be watched on our combo unit becasue this little adapter allows us to power the unit from and AC outlet. I also like the folding blade feature - I can thow it in my glove compartment or suitcase with out it snagging on my clothes or other things. Very cool.

The adapter unit is 1000mA UL Listed, with folding wall socket blades, and an attached end cap on the cigarette lighter socket as well. A well made adapter ... It's easily packed, stored, or carried. It is the solution for devices like my Jabra BT5050 speakerphone which only comes with a car cigarette lighter charger. Jabra charges perfectly Indoors now.

This is a super handy little device. I bought this to use with my bluetooth speaker that only came with a car charger. You just plug the car charger into it and then plug the PowerLine-Power Socket into the wall. It has fold-down plugs for easy storage and would travel well. It has a little light that goes from red to green when your device is fully charged.

I bought this as a gift to accompany a Ryobi 12v DC inflator/flashlight, with the notion that the inflator could then be used indoors for blowing up air mattresses. We tried it out; the light worked great, but the inflator did nothing (even with the light out). A quick check in a running automobile and the inflator ran fine. Then it hit me: the inflator draws more than 1 amp of current (no specs were found with the inflator, but this is obviously the case.) So, this adapter didn't work for the purpose for which I intended, but I understand why. Other negative reviews that said this adapter didn't work, or made funny noises, didn't say what they were trying to use with it. I think it would work great with cell phones, GPS's etc., but check the *total* amperage requirements of all devices you'll want to use this for first. Amazon's service was great as usual.

I have a mini frig that only has a car adapter...I wanted to bring the frig upstairs to use for baby bottles so I don't have to go up and down the stairs every night to the kitchen. this works great! It doesn't get hot and I've been using it for about 2 weeks now about 12 hours a day. Highly recommend.

I bought a GPS about 6 months ago, and there was no way I could program my trips in my home. I went online and found that I needed this product. I am very satisfied, since I could not find it locally.

This is the coolest thing. We use it for everything from our handsfree unit in the car to our kids ipods. I wish we knew of this gadget a long time ago. Received this item in a few days of ordering. Great service.

I compared similar products and the reviews and thought this one should do the job for a reasonable price. Along with charging low draw electronic I wanted it to power a 12 volt inflator. I could blow up an air bed from the car, but not in the house, this solved the problem perfectly. I figure that's the top 'draw' I'll experience and also guess it's pretty high, it performs flawlessly. Now it just need to last. - Charger - Cell Phone Accessory - Power Inverters - Gps'

Monitor Wall Mount - lcd wall mount, monitor wall mount

Visit Store Now !!

This mount is about the best I have seen yet. Looking locally, I couldn't find anything for less than $60 -$80 (even walmart). This came home for about $25. It mounts easily, comes with all hardware, it is black, just like the TV I mounted and the cables I strap to it to get them out of the way. The swing is very smooth, there is very little rock (side-to-side). The tilt (pitch) is very sturdy but adjustble. I don't have a single complaint about this unit. VideoSecu Articulating TV Wall Mount Bracket for VESA 100 LCD LED Flat Screen Monitor TV 1E9

Nice product, fairly well built, and attractive black powder coating. I mounted a 26" HDTV (22.8 lbs) on our bedroom wall. As others have mentioned, no rotation after installing makes it important that you measure carefully before drilling. Here's a couple tips that should help your install.

Before proceeding, I suggest that you tighten the arm hinges (using the supplied Allen wrench) to where you think they should be. They were fairly loose on the mount that I received. Reason being ... Their tightness changes the level of the TV bracket.

1st tip: First thing I noticed was that the top of the bracket that mounts on the TV was NOT parallel with the mount's arms when the mount was folded flat. Therefore, I mounted the vertical wall bracket (plate) so that the TV bracket was level; this meant that the wall bracket was NOT perfectly vertical, but just a "scosh" off vertical.

2nd tip: Even doing this, the TV was still not exactly level; close, but not "perfect". This time I took a round file to the screw holes on the TV bracket and elongated them to correct the rotation required to make the TV perfectly level. It didn't take much filing; less than 1/8".

That did it! TV hangs perfectly level now when flat against the wall, which is where it is used mostly. Swinging the TV out to "max" position from the wall, due to the slight "give" others have mentioned, the TV is a gnat's off from level, but this is low priority and tolerable.

One other point: If your TV/monitor is wider than 26", you won't be able to get it completely perpendicular to the wall, something to consider.

I purchased this mount to hang a 15" LCD TV, weighing less than 9 pounds (the specifications rate it up to 33 lbs). I carefully measured and used a level to mount the swing arm on the wall, but when I hung the TV, the position of the arms and the small amount of "give" between the arm segments caused the TV to hang at a slight, but noticable, angle. You can tighten the arm segment joints, which helps the problem somewhat, but you won't be able to swing the arm around once tightened. The swivel adjustments only allow you to change the side-to-side angle and the vertical tilt, there is no way to fix the rotation of the set.

This monitor arm is pretty cool, and great price point. I mounted a 26" LCD TV weighing like 32 LBS. Have not had a problem with it. I did need to make a trip to the hardware store for some longer screws than what was provided to connect to my TV.

I tend to be the engineer type, so looks don't win me over if a product is flawed below the surface. This mount looks good, if and when you catch a glimpse of it but most important to me, it is designed well. The joints lock and hold positions well because the design provides enough flat mating surface area. All of the major parts are solid cast, forged or machined.

Finally, after you have mounted a monitor or TV, this mount does not demand or call your attention back, it just does its job, `quietly', behind the scene.

I purchased this wall mount on the basis of other reviews. It was perfect for our need. Installation was very easy, the bracket was well made, moves easy (side to side, up and down). I put a 15" tv on it and I am well satisfied compared to other brackets that are 3 & 4 times the price. I give this bracket a 5 star rating.

I own 8 flat panel TV's, all of them wall mounted, for two (26"ers) of them I am using this particular bracket. I like the flexibility of these brackets, however, they are quite "wobbly" and that leaves me with great concern each time I adjust them. Only time will tell if they will hold up to the moderate usage they receive.

In one of the other reviews someone said something about the mount being lose or having some "give", I am thinking they may have recieved a bad mount and should send it back. I have a 23" LCD mounted with this bracket and its tight and holds the TV right where I set it. Now I can see where if you mounted it maybe a little off center where you could complain that they should have put a rotation(tilt) adjustment on it. But alas if you mount it level then you should have no problems. It was easy to mount and does what it should. A mount like this at a box store will cost you about $80, so you can't beat this price. The product is also very durable

I bought this product to mount a flat screen computer monitor to the wall. It installed easily and works great. You can pull the monitor out from the wall and adjust the swivel (for instance, parallel to wall or at an angle. If you need something you can adjust for different height users, then be aware that this under $30 unit does not adjust for height; you pick the height and that's the height it will be. You have to get a more expensive fully articulating model if you want to be able to change the height. - Wall Mount - Tv Wall Mount - Monitor Wall Mount - Lcd Wall Mount'

Fitness Ball - ball chair, stability ball

Visit Store Now !!

I had a shipping problem with my ball, and I also ended up with the wrong size. Max Fitness went the extra mile and met all of my needs with 100% integrity. They were pro-active and gracious.

I also love the ball. One qualification for those of you considering getting a ball. The size of the ball may depend on not only your height but what you are using it for. In my case, I'm 6' tall and I use the ball to do Core Exercises as taught by Gunnar Peterson and the 65 cm ball is definately too small for me. The 75 cm ball works for me, and I'm completely satisfied both with it's quality and the excellent service I received from Max Fitness in the process.

You can't go wrong with these folks. Max Fitness 75cm Exercise Ball with Foot Pump (Black)

I bought this item to use as a chair replacement, which means it likely gets used more often than if for exercise. I bought this items a month ago and have used it almost daily since. To date I have not had to reinflate the ball and it has been sturdy and comfortable. The enclosed pump didn't inspire a lot of confidence but actually worked just fine, and given the fact that it may not require a lot of use, should be suitable for the life of the ball.

I like this ball now that I have it set up- it's great for stretching and even as a chair. However, when it arrived it had an oily residue all over it accompanied by a terrible chemical smell- maybe I'm just oversensitive to these things, but it was really overpowering. I washed it as best I could, and the smell has faded over time, but avoid this product if you have any sensitivity to smells or chemical.s

The rubber in this exercise ball is much thicker than others I've purchased, so I can see why it's listed as anti-burst. The included pump was helpful as well. As indicated in the instructions, the ball didn't seem to blow up that much initially, but after letting it sit overnight, I was able to add more air. So far I'm very pleased with it.

I used a standing bicycle pump to pump up the balls -- still took about 15 minutes per ball. I also sprayed them down with soap and put them in the shower for 10 minutes in an attempt to remove the plastic smell, which worked. I let them hang out for a day at 3/4 full and then pumped more air into them to reach 75 cm. I alternate between the ball and my chair at my desk which works well. It took a little tweaking to get it to the right height.

This thing holds up to my weight which is 318lbs w/o flinching. I lift weights on it, so its really holding a lot more than that. It is quite strong. The pump they give you with it though makes it take a LONG time and a lot of energy to fill up, its nice if you have your own pump.

I've been using this ball as a computer chair since it arrived a few days ago. Really feeling it from my abs down to the tips of my toes.

Two not so great things about the ball are (1) the material it's made of bonds to paint if it touches a painted surface for a few hours and (2) it is extremely difficult to remove the air plug when you need/want to adjust the air pressure. The latter especially is a design flaw I hope the company addresses.

Just received this a couple of days ago. I did not notice an odor as other reviews mentioned. The ball is made well and I'm not worried about it bursting. It is hard to get the plug out to refill. The pump works too.

I've ordered and returned 2 other stability balls, but I'm keeping this one.

I was very pleased overall with the ball I received, as it was easy to inflate with the included pump, surprisingly sturdy, and came as advertised.

However, as a few other users have noted, the ball has a VERY strong chemical smell after it's been taken out of its packaging. I closed it up in another room with the windows open for a couple days, then washed the whole inflated ball in the shower with dishwashing liquid, and those two steps reduced the smell by about 90%. Hopefully in time it will disappear completely -- I wouldn't have used the ball at all if the smell hadn't gotten better gradually. It makes me wonder what kind of chemicals the thing is outgassing and if they're safe. MaxFitness should either deal with this issue by de-scenting or washing the balls before they're shipped, or by addressing the issue in their instructions.

Other than the smell, the ball has been great and everything I hoped for. - Fitness - Stability Ball - Ball Chair - Exercise'

Cable Organizers

Visit Store Now !!

This cable management system is pretty good, especially if you only need to bind a series of similar length cables (for example a bundle of cables running from a TV to an AV receiver). It's easy to install using the provided tool. I thought it wouldn't work for binding up multiple power cables because their heads were too large to fit through the adapter tool, but then I realized that it splits open down the middle so you you can easily start at any location on the cables. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are running multiple cables that are going different distances, the best way to do this is to just run the cables the entire length and then when you are done pull out the cable(s) that need to go shorter distances. I found it relatively easy to bind up several runs of cables from my AV-receiver to my speakers and television. Now I don't have an octopus of wires under my AV rack which makes me happy and my wife happy too.

Recommended. Monster CIT MBK-16 Medium Diameter Black Cable-It Wire Management System (16 feet)

My wife's office was a mess of wires - laptop, monitor, laser printer, plotter, networking, router, phone - sooooo many cables. I had to disconnect everything to get it organized, but once I laid out the cords, the cable-it system was easy to install. It has a neet little device to thread the cords in the cable-it wrapper.

I highly recommend, but plan 30-60 minutes to plan out your cable setup.

This zipper and hose style cable management system works pretty well. The zipper tool seems to fall apart sometimes and doesn't stay together well when zipping the cables up. All in all, works good if all of your cables are the same length. If you have several different lengths, setting it all up can be kind of a pain.

The product isn't to bad but it is certainly not of a very high quality. Also, if you order white, you won't be getting white. The color is an almond. Anyway, if I had to do it again, I wouldn't order this.

I looked in the description for how many cords this would hold and couldn't find it so I bought a Medium. It is 1.2 inches in diameter and the box says it will hold 5-8 cables, which is about right. We used it for four TV cords, a dvd player, antenna box, and clock (seven cords total). We were even able to double back a few of them to keep the total length shorter. It's not the loveliest looking thing, but it's better than a cord octopus. It was easy to use--the zipper handle is smart. Watch the video in the pictures for installation details.

This is not what you need if you are running cords up a wall, across a floor, or behind molding, however. It is designed for loose cables that are running from an electronic device to an outlet (behind a desk or entertainment center, for example). The directions also recommend using separate ones for AV cables and power cords, for what it's worth.

I was really happy with this product and buying it on Amazon is less than 1/2 what the local Best Buy was charging (not including tax!).

The little "tool" they include is cute, but not necessary, I gave up trying to figure it out and just used my hands. I had a complete 7.1 surround system with multiple speaker, HDMI and power cords to deal with. Took me all of about 7 minutes to do it by hand. My advice is to toss the tool and just go for it.

The only real negative is that the "white" version is actually navajo white, so be prepared. It looks easily paintable however if you need to do that.

I usually stay far away from overpriced Monster products. But this was the only cable management system I could find that seemed like it would do what I wanted. And I love it. I used it on ethernet and power cables that run to my computer which is on a rolling cart. This makes it very easy to roll the cart and manage the cables.

I had been looking for a cord organizer for a little while. I knew that I could find spiral wrap that I have used before but I found this as an alternate. The photos made it seem pretty easy to install so I gave it a try. Being a guy, I didn't read the instructions on installation but come on, how hard could it be. It was tricky enough that I had to check the instructions for what went where. Once I did that, it was a breeze. The wrap was easy to cut with a heavy duty scissors and it does a great job of keeping the cords organized.'
