Double-handle Faucets - nice faucet, delta

I just installed this faucet and it is pretty cheaply made. The fittings are mostly loose, but that can mostly be corrected with some elbow grease. The worst thing about the faucet is the sprayer mechanism. The sprayer never really shuts off, so even when in "regular" mode the sprayer drips. One star since it is bad at its intended function. Single Handle Centerset Pull Out Kitchen Sink Faucet with Versatile and Swivel Sprayhead, Chrome

I took the risk ignoring the negative reviews. Eventhough I paid extra for a 2-day express shipment, I was pleasantly surprised to get it 1 day early and it came nicely packaged. It was an easy install after a quick trip to HD to plug up the Hot water feature since we're only using the Cold water. I should add the single handle can be set-up as necessary as my wife is left-handed and I'm a righty! It has the high-end look, in addition, the pull-out/swivel spray head is perfect for the BBQ Island sink. Great buy!

We've only had this faucet installed for a few days, so we can't comment on its durability. I really like that you can choose the location for the controls. I'm impressed with the overall design and would choose it again. The instructions could be alot more detailed.

"the faucet is fairly great-looking, and fit very well into my kitchen's circumstances. the sufficient height makes it very convenient to use the water. the finish is also great, highly recommended for kitchen upgrade.

This faucet was a great purchase. It has excellent built quality, works really well, and at a good price.



Appearance:



The Chrome finish is smooth and covered with protectant oil. The handle has a hard foam cushion that gives more traction and control. They did not go cheap on the material and the supplied parts. The product photos in Amazon are a true representation.



Installation:



The installation is simple and straightforward. I installed it by myself. However, if you are not comfortable working on plumbing and tools, get a plumber to do the install for you. For the ones who want to DIY, here are a few tips:

- It does not come with a cover plate, so study your existing fixture and where it connects to your sink. If it has 3 holes, you will need a cover plate or a sink whole cover Danze D493172RB Faucet Accessories 8" CC Cover Plate - RB, Oil Rub Bronze

- Depends on the style of your existing faucet and sink, uninstall it might be difficult due to rust, hard to reach bolts and lack of the right tool.

- A basin wrench is almost a MUST HAVE for this job Superior Tools 3811 11-Inch Basin Wrench



Function:



It works as it should with two high lights:

- The smooth fell of the handle made controlling water flow effortless. I believe I will conserve more water simply because I can easily run it at a smaller flow rate.

- The spray is POWERFUL. When the spray button is pressed, it adds pressure to the water flow. (Note: it may splash a bit when you use it at full throttle)



Over all, I highly recommend this product to anyone who wishes to get a quality kitchen faucet at an affordable price.

I really love this faucet. I was frustrated with the difficulty of cleaning the entire sink or a large pan after cooking. This product is designed to solve this problem. The faucet head detaches from the support so you can pull it out. You can also turn it around the sink by the flexible spring U that contains the hose. These two features make cleaning work so much easier and faster. It is not only functionally useful, but also is made with a good quality. Moreove, it can be easily installed. I was able to install it within an hour after i got it. I am really satisfied with this product. - Delta - Faucets - Nice Faucet - Single Handle'

Laptop Backpack - laptop backpack, targus

Visit Store Now !!

This thing is a MONSTER! It can hold as big a laptop as you could possibly own, with room to spare. Lots of compartments, almost too many. Bigger, in this case, is not better for me (but I don't have a giant laptop). Two things to keep in mind: 1. It can slip off your shoulders if you are a smaller framed person. My female co-worker tried it and this was a problem for her. 2. It is too big to be considered your "personal item" as an airline carry on. This is the kicker for me, as I travel quite a bit and my laptop backpack has to count as my personal item so that I can also bring my rolling carry-on suitcase. If you only need to bring a single bag on a short trip, this bag has plenty of room for a change of clothes, toiletries, etc., but if you need to bring more, then this bag will count as your big carry-on with most airlines. Just wanted to give people a heads-up! Targus XL Backpack Designed for 17 Inch Notebooks TXL617 (Black with Blue Accents)

If you are like me, and you have a large amount of books and other stuff to carry around, this bag is perfect. And it has several pockets to store sunglasses, a bag lunch, a nice cell phone pouch that can fit anything from a reasonably sized Nokia to a clamshell phone hanging off of the left shoulder strap, Palm Pilot, iPod - with even a slot to fit your earbuds or headphones through, although that's kind of tricky -- a very well-padded storage area for your Notebook computer, all the connections and wires that accompany it, and, top it all off, a place for your water bottle.



If you are taking a lot of classes with a lot of books, the compartments are very spacious and can hold a lot. Unlike most reviewers here I find it very comfortable when full, and not heavy at all once you are used to a little extra weight.



Overall, I highly recommend this product, especially for the price, since a similarly equipped bag should cost over $[...] or more (but don't tell that to Amazon or the Manufacturer :D )

If you have a 17" laptop, then you know your choices for bags are small. I've always had good luck with Targus accessories, and this backpack is no exception. It's well constructed and made of good materials.



The compartments are varied and evenly distributed and (mostly) easy to access. The backpack is very adjustable, from the shoulder straps, to the waist strap, to the pouch straps (which allow you to place bulkier items in the inner pouch). The outer pouch/compartments even flip open with snap-clips for easier access).



There is no "one size fits all" for laptop bags, but this bag seems to have room to spare. I have a Toshiba P105-S9722 17" widescreen laptop that weighs in near 10lbs with the power supply included. The laptop slides effortlessly into the padded compartment (which is at the "bottom" meaning closest to your back when worn as designed). The compartment has a velcro strap to help prevent sliding. The compartment above the laptop has a sturdy base as yet another level of protection to prevent potential damage of your laptop. I find this very useful because I place my powersupply (1lb+ brick), power cord, and other misc. cords in there.



I've used this backpack as carry-on while traveling from NH to CA, and it was packed solid, but everything was very accessible and it still managed to fit under the seat as per airline regulations and JUST met the height/width/depth maximum limits. This may vary from airline to airline though. I had my Toshiba + power supply & cord, iPod, PSP (+ games), a few DVD's, two changes of clothes, a cordless USB mouse in the outer sidepocket, cordless shaver in the inner section, cell phone in the shoulder-strap mounted pouch (which is removable via clip and can be attached to your waist, or anywhere you wish), plus usb cables and various adapters, headphones, etc in various compartments, a couple magazines, a book, and some basic toiletries. It was not lightweight, but properly adjusting the straps helps, and wearing the waist strap for extended use is key!! I walked from one end of O'Hare to the other and although the weight had me winded (as any luggage would), the straps never hurt my shoulders, nor did I feel any discomfort from the laptop being against my back!



I would also like to add that the design of the compartments make it fairly simple to access wha tyou need without a lot of rummaging (provided you don't stuff too much into each one).



For the price, this is an exceptional backpack for those with big laptops that need to carry a lot of accessories, or travel.



Why not 5 stars? For the size, a bit of "modularity" would have been great. When you're not traveling or "packed to the gills" it would be nice to be able to "zip off" or unclip about half of the backpack. This could have been done with the same clips that the outer portion adjusts and opens up with. I would also like to have seen a specifically padded compartment for the laptop power supply, or at least a velcro solution for immobilizing supply & cord. These however, are minor issues, and this backpack is fantastic. - Backpacking - Targus - 17 Inch Laptop - Laptop Backpack'

Midi Keyboard

Visit Store Now !!

I bought a cheap yamaha keyboard about 6 years ago. It had the option of midi connection with computers, but at the time Yamaha wanted like half the price of the keyboard for the connecting cord! So I didn't get it. Now I was looking at this and the price is such a steal in comparison I thought I would try it. It worked! I have a piano program, and the cord connects to both my Vista computer and my XP computer without trouble -- just plug it in. Remember to plug the "In" into the "Out" and vise versa. It comes with instructions specially says to do that, and I messed up anyway. Silly me.



Good deal, I recommend it. But do remember that you need a piano program to make things happen, the same way you need a word processing program or something before you can type something on the computer with a normal typing keyboard. You can find freeware piano keyboard software such as Anvil Studio on the internet. USB MIDI Cable Converter PC to Music Keyboard Window Win Vista XP, Mac OS

I've tested this MIDI-to-USB cable under OS X (CoreMIDI) and Linux (JACK) with a Casio keyboard and a Yamaha digital piano. Everything works without problems. And the price point is remarkable! Most of these adapters seem to cost around $40-50, so this is quite a deal.



And yes, you need to plug the end that says "MIDI Out" into your "MIDI In" socket on your keyboard, but that's how it always is with MIDI...

I hate leaving reviews claiming something's "broken", but in this case there were some serious problems. So my problems:



1. The device does not handle run-on MIDI commands properly. I doubt that many modern MIDI devices use run-on commands, as they were a somewhat confusing bit-saving mechanism from the 20th century. The keyboard I used was a Kurzweil SP-88. I suspect this is a design-defect in the product. More on this below.



2. The device would not enumerate on my main PC. That box is a custom-built machine using a P5B Deluxe motherboard which has never had any problems with any other USB devices. I even tried clocking the box down to normal speeds; Vista gives me a vague error about the device malfunctioning, and Ubuntu gives me a read error during enumeration in dmesg (which, to be fair, wasn't any more useful in this context.)



3. For all the reviewers who said the cable was labeled backwards: MIDI cables are always connected so that the "OUT" of one device goes to the "IN" of another device. MIDI supports a ring-shaped daisy-chain of devices that way. This cable was not labeled backwards.



Elaborating on point 1:



On the wrong equipment, when you do this:

1. Press-and-hold key1.

2. Press-and-hold key2.

3. Release key1.

4. Release key2.



You get this:

1. Press-and-hold key1.

2. Press-and-hold key2.

3. Release key1.

4. Press-and-hold key2 again.



For those technically inclined, here's the data stream from my SP-88 using the old serial cable I was replacing (I had to resurrect a dead machine to get this; I'm forging note velocities for easier comparison):

90 40 45 3c 48 80 40 62 3c 61



Here's what this product read:

90 40 45 90 3c 48 80 40 62 90 3c 61



Here's the nearest valid sequence it could have provided:

90 40 45 90 3c 48 80 40 62 80 3c 61



Note the 80 instead of 90 in the third-to-last byte - "80" means "note off", "90" means "note on". This was a deal-killer for me; your mileage may vary.



I replaced the cable with an M-Audio cable from a local shop for 3x the price; that cable also reprocesses run-on commands, but does it appropriately (the third sequence above is what I would get.)



The seller was courteous and provided a full refund, including shipping, so all I lost to them was time. I'd buy from these guys again, just not this product.

Amazon has this generic web page for MIDI cables. It appears as if it is only for one product but is it not. It lumps a similar, but not identical, product , with the same price and shipping options but from DIFFERENT VENDORS/MANUFACTURERS. Buyer beware, they are not all the same!

Some cables work great, others are garbage, and they look similar. It all depends on the vendor. I found this merely by chance and I think it explains the extreme and polarized reviews in here. If you choose the different vendors the reviews are the same for all of them, in other words people have unknowingly been writing reviews for similar but different products in the same web page.

Amazon, how can you do this?!!

I bought the cable from HDE and it works great in both my Mac under OSX and a PC laptop under XP. No lags or anything wrong with my piano teaching program and a Yamaha keyboard. Then, I needed another cable and came back to the same page to order using "add to cart". I received one that had a different package, and although it looked similar, was not identical. When plugged in my Mac it had a horrible lag, skipped notes; basically matching various negative reviews by others. Only then I checked my order form and noticed it was from a different vendor: "Sound around", even though I thought I was ordering the same product!

Bottom line, if you come to this page, Amazon appears to select randomly the vendor assigned to the "add to cart button". To get what you want you need to select from the list of vendors in the "More buying choices" menu right below "add to cart". Notice that more than one vendor is fulfilled directly by Amazon and offers the same price, free super saver, etc. I will be promptly returning the one from Sound Around, and already ordered from HDE. The cable that looks like this is the one that worked for me (I have no affiliation!): USB MIDI Cable Converter PC to Music Keyboard Window Win Vista XP, Mac OS. Hope this helps someone.'

Memory Card Reader - card reader, sd card reader

Visit Store Now !!

I have used this 4 in 1 Memory Card Reader on Kingston, Ridata, and Transcend brands of SD cards of various capacities (512 MB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB) with no problems. Since it supports SDHC cards (High Capacity SD cards), it should work fine with SD cards of 16GB & 32GB (the maximum capacity).



Note: This card reader takes only regular SD cards. It will not take miniSD or microSD cards. As of this writing, the product title reads "... Memory Card Reader Writer SD MINISD ..." -- do not be misled! If you need a memory card reader that takes miniSD or microSD cards you can either:



1) Use a memory card adapter

For example, you can use a microSD card to SD card adapter to use your microSD card with this memory card reader. Kingston sells these microSD cards with microSD card to SD card adapters included: (i) 4GB microSD and (ii) 8GB microSD.



OR



2) Get a memory card reader designed for miniSD or microSD cards. Kingston makes one that takes all 3 types of SD cards (see Kingston Mobilelite).





It has a cap on each end; one for the USB connector and the other for the SD card slot. It has a rugged, translucent plastic casing, which feels very durable. It is also lightweight and compact.



The only fault I can find with it is that it doesn't have a lanyard or a place for attaching it to a keychain. In addition, the caps are not hinged and come off completely, so they are easy to lose.



Regardless, it works very well and it is very inexpensive. Definitely recommended! 10 in 1 Mini USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader Writer

I purchased these, with 4 16 GB SD cards. The cards were working perfectly, since I used them in my camera and my computer. As soon as I put the SD cards in these readers, they stopped working. Why? I have no idea. Then the card stopped working with other devices too. I checked all 4 readers and unfortunately they destroyed all my 4 SD cards, none of them readable by any other device.



I contacted seller. They were nice, but didn't accept any responsibility. The only thing they said, was that they will check the readers from now on to be sure something like this will not happen again. They sent me 4 new readers that are working fine, at least for the past few hours.



So, if you buy these readers, before inserting your SD card, check to be sure they are working fine. You can do it by using an old SD card without any info or picture on it. This way, you will not lose any file, but might lose the card itself.

It's insteresting when you buy a product and says it's plug and play and yet when you plug it in it doesn't play. Also said it came with an instruction manual hopefully a driver since it isn't plug and play like it is so indicated on the pakage, and yet it came with neither. I can't complain too much when you pay a dollar for something you get a dollars worth of work out of it. Thanks for the product though guys I now have a blue plastic paper weight or maybe a christmas tree ornament.

I ordered six of these. Four failed outright. . Two successes out of six is good reason to not buy from this vendor. The product cost is too low to mess with contacting their customer service.



If you order more than one ( like I ordered six) you are charged SIX shipping charges even though they ship all six in a single envelope with single 42 cent postage. Thieves !



I have ordered thousands of dollars of camera equipment through AMAZON in 2009. This is the first incident that causes me to be concerned with ordering from AMAZON and one of their allied vendors.



Be WARNED ! I only got nicked for a few dollars this time and it is a lesson learned.i

I bought this because the port on my digital camera wasn't working with its USB cable so I needed an SD card reader to get pictures off my camera. This thing is cute and portable, but it only worked once for me and now won't hold a connection when plugged into my USB hub. Good price but I got less than I paid for.

Received the card reader and tested it. seems to read the an sd card slower than expected. does not allow me to copy a large size file to sdcard, anything over 20 mb's will be denied but the card reader is a good buy for the cost.

My boyfriend bought this for me for Christmas because my new camera required an awkward USB cable and I hated carrying it to and from school or waiting to upload my pictures. It worked fine the first time I used it then after that my computer only recognized it about 1/14 times I tried to plug it in. I have a standard SDHC card, so there is no reason it shouldn't work and it lights up when it is plugged in, but there must not be a good connection somewhere because my computer won't pick up that it is plugged in (and yes I've tried other computers).



I can't say I'm all that upset, it is insanely cheap and it was a gift, but kind of a disappointment. - Card Reader - Memory Card Reader - Memory Card - Sd Card Reader'

I needed an inexpensive label maker and found this at Staples ($19.95 on sale). At first I was a bit irked by the apparent problems with the software (which automatically installs when you plug the label maker into a USB port on your computer) and this is where, I suspect, that others have had some problems. Brother did something very stupid with the software that is pre-installed on this device - they didn't bother to add an "update" feature. As a result, many people may not be aware that Brother has updated the driver, the firmware, and both (yes, there are TWO) label editors that work with the PT-1230PC. Unfortunately, you have to go to Brother's web site to find this out on your own.



Also, the default settings cause the tape to waste space while printing labels - it is necessary to hunt around a bit in order to determine how/where to adjust the settings but, again, the label maker can be set so that very little tape is wasted (especially if the same label needs to be printed many times).



Once that the updates are installed (make sure that you pay attention to the instructions on Brother's site) and settings are adusted, this turns into a great little label maker. Had it been less trouble to search around for software updates, I would have given this label maker five stars. Brother PC-Connectable Label Maker with Auto Cutter (PT-2430PC)

I bought the Brother PT-1230PC Label Maker primarily to create labels for hanging folder tabs and interior folder tabs. For hanging folders that take 5 tabs across, this means about a 2.2-inch label. For a simple task, I ran into several issues:



1. I like my label text centered. The P-Touch Editor Lite software installed on the device has a button with a drop-down menu to select text alignment: Left, Center, Right, etc. Unfortunately, it has no effect on the text you enter. Select Center and type, or type, select, and choose Center - it doesn't matter, the text remains left-justified. I searched Brother's support website thinking I may have missed something because they implemented alignment in some non-intuitive way, but there was no information about this topic.



2. As the label needs to be 2.2 inches long, I'd like to type the text and have the software adjust the size to fit a fixed length of 2.2 inches. The Editor Lite allows you to fix the label length, but it doesn't adjust the text size to fit: it simply lets the text overrun the boundary of the label. If you don't fix the label length, it will adjust the length of the label to the text - but not vice versa.



3. I knew going in this model has a manual cutter, so I was prepared to push a button on the unit to cut the label after printing. However, every label starts with 1 inch of blank tape. If you create a 2.2-inch label on screen, when you print it you will get a 3.2-inch label, with your text starting after that blank first inch. So in addition to using the built-in manual cutter to cut the tape and remove it from the printer after it prints, you have to use scissors or a knife to remove the leading blank 1 inch so your label is the length you intended.



This unit might be OK for you if you don't care about the length of your labels, or if your label text is skewed to one side of the label, or if you want to both push a cutter button AND wield a pair of scissors after every label. Otherwise, you might consider the PT-2430PC, which has an automatic cutter than not only cuts the label after printing, but apparently also cuts that annoying leading first inch of blank tape. I assume the built-in Editor Lite has the same broken text alignment; hopefully the full-featured Editor software you can download from Brother functions correctly in that respect.

Sigint is right. Every comment made is accurate even including the lack of text centering. I bought mine at Staples. I am returning it to them today. (I never return anything, particularly something this inexpensive, but this labeler uses batteries and tape way too fast.) If you do buy it, get the a.c. adapter Power Adapter for P-touch (costs about the same as the labeler). I gave the PT-1230PC two stars because it does work and because I should have known better than to expect anything usable from Brother for $19.95 (on sale).



If you want to download anything from the Brother site, you'll need the serial number. Not the number on the bottom of the labeler, but the one on the box (and nowhere else) that you were throwing away.

I have bought 2 of these units and love them. I've seen a few people complain that they could not register to download the software from Brother's site. That's because they didn't open the unit and find the serial number under where the label cart. goes. I was able to download the extra software and it runs fine with the unit. Even the included software is pretty nice. One thing I love is that there is no install needed for the basic software. The printer acts as a flash drive with the application embedded. SO it's easy to take it w/ you and connect to any windows (XP or newer) machine and start printing. I got my units for ~20 each and I couldn't be happier. You will need 6 AAA batteries, but that not a big deal. - Label Printer - Office Product - Office Gadget - Usb'

Lots of widgets to secure your home. Most geeky is the smoke alarm that is wireless and sets the security alarm if there is smoke! Two of the three sirens are triggered wirelessly. Manual is complete but terse. Lots of door/window sensors. Wish there was a garage door sensor. Glass break sensor was missing in my package, however the seller shipped it immediately when I reported the issue.



Cons:



If you use the keychain or secondary keypad to switch off the remote when entering home, the main unit is reset. I would have liked to know if the alarm was tripped and which sensor tripped it when I was away.



When leaving or entering home the delay can be 0 or 1 minute but not, say 20 seconds.



Not sure if buttons on base unit and secondary keypad will last a long time - they seem like the buttons on many remotes that do not work after a couple of years - I will keep my fingers crossed.



Motion sensor has a bright red LED - distracting in evenings/night.



Screws for attaching motion sensors to walls/studs are missing.



The seller is rebating $20 to everyone who posts a 5 star rating. Not ethical. I have not considered the rebate when I posted a high rating - the product is worth the money. AAS-V700 Wireless Home Security Alarm System Kit DIY (R)

The AAS-V700 is the best bang for the buck! I had heard horror stories from friends about other products like this one. One had trouble on install where nothing would program. Another had bought one and the manual was in Chinese only. They warned me to be leery and ready for a headache before getting it all working. Nothing of the sort with this product. The manual, while not the best manual I have read, is still easy to follow and I was able to get the whole system installed and working in about two hours. I did not install everything. My wife and I were looking to just secure windows and doors at this time, but it was a breeze. Now the double sided tape does work quite well, so test before you stick. Although, run a rag or wipe the area you are adhering it to. Dirt does get in the way. I held sensors in place and opened and closed windows before stinking anything. It worked great. The map idea made it easy also. The remote keypad took a little figuring on mounting it. I do plan on adding more of the sensors and detectors around as I get more time to dive deeper into it and really get a nice system set up. As far as I am concerned, this is a great system and is well worth the money spent.

I bought the AAS V600 one week ago, the seller shipped it out immediately. The

product is great, delivering all functionalities as it promised. Yet it does look cheap, and I hope it sticks with the test of time. But I

won't complain on that because of the price. I am VERY content about the powerful functionalities of V-series AAS controller: it has 99

zones, including door chime zone and power zone to eliminate false alarms; it has good dial up functionalities which would call couple of

phone numbers once alarm triggered; you can also access the machine via phone. If landline is not available, you can still arm the system,

if triggered, it would still keep armed and useful. It's indeed an affordable solution with professional system functions.

With all that being said, I do need to point out some areas for improvement for this product and the carrying company:

1. The main manual is clear enough. However, manuals from independent units are written in broken english and full of typos, such as the

manual from PIR and Glass Breaker. Please do fix the typo, it won't even take an hour to make the product more decent looking.

2. The outdoor siren and indoor wireless siren are not really wireless in applicable sense, because they are still using AC power. This

should be switched to battery powered units.

3. There definitely need to be a phone number I can call if I should have any questions. It took them 2 days to answer my email. A phone

call would definitely be faster.

In short, great product of strong professional capacity with affordable price, poor unit manual, improvable customer service.

This is the third AAS, Inc., DIY System that I have purchased, from AMAZON.COM, AAS-V700 Wireless Home Security Alarm System Kit DIY (R)at different times within the last two months, Two v700's and one v600, one for my home, one for my daughter's home and one for a relative's home. The units are delivered promptly, when activated, all units and sensors worked, and were easy to install. I needed one zoning question answered and Eve, the tech rep for AAS, Inc. was outstanding, helpful and know what she was talking about. I was also pleased and surprised to learn that the unit's signal strength was good enough to include protection for my detached garage and office. The individual kits included everything that I needed to provide good protection to the individual homes that they were installed on. Since I have bought three of these units, it should be clear and there is no question, but that I am completely satisfied with the cost and quality of these units and recommend these security systems for anyone desiring an outstanding security system, Do It Yourself, Kit.

The screwdriver in this set is pretty much useless. Perhaps if you have a child sized hand, the handle would be big enough to actually put some strength behind it, but otherwise if the screw isn't already loose or needing to be tightened to a real level, you're better off with another set! SE Eyeglass Repair Kit, Tube

I lost the screw in a nose piece on my glasses and ordered this to fix it. None of the screws that came with it were small enough though. It worked great to tighten the screws in the arms of the glasses though.

This kit is worthless unless you have some very old glasses, I am talking twenty years old.



The screwdriver that comes with it is has such a tiny head that it did not fit on any of the three pairs that had loose screws that needed tightening. The kit also came with nine tiny screws, all of the same size that were too small for me to use on any of my glasses should I have wanted to replace the loose screws. The adhesive on the two nose pads was inadequate and lasted all of two days on both pads.



All things considered this kit was worthless to me since none of my glasses are very old. The one positive thing that I can say about this purchase is that I am glad that I only paid $2.88, a price which I see has now increased by over 1/3--a rip off IMHO!



I would not recommend this kit to anyone with eyeglasses that are not older than twenty years, because according to my optometrist/aunt, that's about when the small screws were phased out.

Okay....I recommend that you should not buy this item. The material that the flat-head screw driver is made of is sooo weak. The first time I used it, it chipped. Not worth the buy. Make the effort to go to your eye-glass store of choice to tighten or fix your glasses.

I bought this kit to replace the nose pads on my glasses. The other parts that the kit includes (screw driver, screws, and grommets) are well constructed. The screw driver worked well and within seconds I had the existing nose pads removed from my glasses. However, when I went to replace the nose pads, I noticed that nose pads included in this kit have ADHESIVE on them as the only means by which to install them on a pair of glasses. That's right, ADHESIVE. They are merely thin foam pads with a piece of paper that is removed to expose the adhesive. While this may work as a short-term solution, clearly it won't last as long as other nose pads that actually screw into a pair of glasses.



In short, I recommend buying this kit if you needs screws or a screw driver so that you can repair your glasses in a pinch, but if you want quality, long-lasting nose pads I suggest looking elsewhere.

This little kit worked wonders for my broken glasses. With a little bit of super glue, I got my glasses back in working order. The kit comes with nose pads and screws (which is so convenient if you've ever lost a nose pad before) and the screwdriver is so easy to use considering how small it is.

I tried several tools to unscrew my eyeglasses and didn't work. So, I searched for the right tool and found it. I'm amazed that they cost very, very little. I tried to unscrew with it, it worked perfect and easy. I can't think of any negative about it. There is none. I'm happy that I purchased it. - Eye Glasses Repair Kit - Repair Kits - Glasses - Glasses Repair Kit'
