Hair Cutting Scissors - scissors, shears


I had two questions when I ordered these:



One, does a screw hold the blades together so they can be separated for cleaning and sharpening? Yes, it is removable. And the bearing area around the screw is not highly polished so it can take oil.



Two, is the thumb hole generous enough for a fat thumb? Yes and no, I'd say. It fits me, but it isn't real roomy. It's an ellipse about 2cm by 2.3cm. If you wear XL gloves, this is probably not the tool for you.



One more feature I didn't see in the description or the picture is the gold coating around the finger loops and about 2cm up the stems. They look nice. SE 7.5" Barber Scissors

These shears do the job so well! Sharp as described and they make hair cutting a snap. I cut my own hair and where my old scissors used to push hair in front of them (sign of dullness), these shears just cut right into it. Neat sharp cuts and I'm done in half the time.

These are so, much faster and easier than the new ones on the market. These have pasted the test of time. If you have very thick hair or have a pet with thick hair, this is just what you need. Don't buy the ones they sell at the beauty supply houses these days they only cut single cuts and takes twice the time to thin your hair.

these scissors are annoying they dont cut, theres a review that asks if the screw can be removed well it CANT BE! i tried and the little screw stripped because it doesnt even budge. these scissors are crap i had to buy another pair at target which are like 100 times better than these.

i even tried to cut a piece of paper and the paper just folded in between the blades and didnt cut i was so mad the blades are so loose on the scissors your hair will do the same and just slide between the scissors with out being cut. USELESS USELESS USELESS USELESS USLESS USELESS USELESS USELESS! DONT BUY, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME, OR MONEY, JUST TAKE MY WORD.



i really dont understand how the reviews the scissors suck man!

Great Scissors! They remain sharp after many haircuts! The tips are pointed, but not to the extreme, where they would puncture a person's skin if the barber came in at too much of a direct angle to a persons neck or head. Some scissors have almost a needle point...which is crazy!

The thumb and finger holes are a good universal size. We are very satisified with them in every aspect, even the price was very reasonable! I would highly recommend them!!

The scissors I received were about two inches shorter than the advertised length of 7.5". The short scissors cut well so I wasn't going to complain until the multiple requests for a review. So here it is. My scissors are short!

I bought this a few weeks ago and to be quite honest, I am SO not happy with these. I thought it would be good quality because i read a few good reviews. Well, I was wrong. They were dull, i had to sharpen them. On top of having to sharpen them, there was too much friction while i was snipping. I can only do so much and I really don't trust these scissors on my hair. Also, they were MOST DEFINITELY used. there were chips and it was scraped up. There is no way they were new like they were supposed to be when i ordered them.

These shears work great! I am totally amazed considering the low price. They have a nice feel and clip off a good chunk of hair nice and smoothly.

(Edited) I ordered two more pair. Alas, my experience was more like the negative reviewers. The craftsmanship was crude, with the front face stamped instead of ground and the label inked not etched. The edges were terribly ground. Both pair had a rougher action and were not sharp. - Scissors - Shears - Haircut - Hair Accessories'

I one two of these watches, one in the black face, one with the blue face. You cannot go wrong with this watch!! It is fabulous! The gold on the bracelet is very bright. There is a high quality look and feel to the watch. The attention to detail is superb! You will kick yourself for not getting this watch if you are at all interested in it! The picture simply does not do it justice! Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241170 Chrono Classic Black Dial Watch

I have collected watches for a while now, and I am very happy with this purchase. When I first started collecting, Swiss Army watches were a lower end watch. Nice, but inexpensive. Then they made the push into higher quality, more expensive watches, and I was always a little prejudiced against them. But this is a well made watch. Even the box it came with is a nicer one, with a comprehensive manual, too. The fit and finish is top notch, and the clasp is really well made. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone who likes the styling of this particular model.

I'm thoroughly pleased with my Swiss Army Chrono watch, great price. I use it every day but it also looks classy enough for dress wear. The numbers, hands, dials and writing on the watch are easily visible. The black face and two-tone watch band make the watch's appearance rather classy. It is very durable and tells great time. The clasp on the watch band is very easy to secure and stands up well with much usage. It was delivered in great time, nicely packaged and in brand new condition.

Recommended. No too big and not flashy at all. I personally think that the wrist band is not very comfortable, but after wearing it a few times, I think I got used to it. Very solid, a very nice watch.'

It is all I hoped for. Strong and thin...very little resistance in the water. The only problem I've had was finding a good knot to fasten it to the mono leader. I landed up using inproved clinch on both sides. Slides through the guides easily as well as the line guide on my 9M. Line and knots held up well with a 38" blue fish. Recommend it as a buy.

Hole Punch


It is amazing how quickly you become dependent on some things. One of the things I seem to be unable to live without is a three-hole punch. I have a lot of binders at home and work where I keep various files, and a three hole punch is essential.



Three hole punches come in a variety of styles. I have tried low quality three hole punches and have been disappointed with how quickly they seem to start binding up, or the cutter gets dull. On some, the fence that sets the size of the paper either can not be tightened, or is so difficult to use as to be impractical.



This three hole punch has punched holes in thousands of sheets of paper and still seems to be as shape as when I first purchased it. While it takes more force to get through a lot of sheets, I am sure that I have stretched the limit of the advertised 32 sheets of 20 lb. paper.



There are many three hole punches available. I know this particular punch costs more than some, but it may be the last three hole punch you ever need if you are buying it for home use. In the office I think you will find it outperforms and outlasts many other hole punches. I recommend this hole punch highly. Officemate Heavy Duty Adjustable 2-3 Hole Punch with Lever Handle, 32-Sheet Capacity, Black (90078)

After reading reviews, I ordered this 3-hole punch to replace a Swingline that had bent (perhaps I had tried to punch too many sheets at one time). I am very happy with this punch. It does exactly what it is supposed to do -- no frills, no bells, just a hardworking heavy duty 3-hole punch. Where my Swingline was held in place with 1/4" screws, this one uses 1/2" screws. Everything about this punch says sturdy. Handle moves easily and punches with ease. Love it.

I had to give it one star because Amazon's service was excellent. However the product was a great disappoiontment. I expected a punch that would handle 32 sheets would be of industrial quality. This was not even light duty home use quality. The casting was rough, the punch adjustments were not secure and one had the adjusting screw stripped so it did not work at all. The paper stop would not stay put so you don't know where your holes will come out.

I have used punches like this that are of excellent quality so it is not the design, it is this particular manufacturer.

As I said, Amazon's service was excellent. They accepted the return and refunded my money. Great job Amazon.

I've only owned the product for 3 months; and the handle bent and then broke. As a teacher, I used this whole punch almost daily, 30 sheets at a time. If you need a large capacity and quality punch, look someplace else.

It's a good, heavy-duty paper punch. It has held up well and gets the job done. The lever gives you a lot of leverage and reduce the effort that it takes to do multi-page jobs. What else can you say about a paper punch?

Yes, it can punch 32 sheets, but I had a hard time keeping the paper guide in place at 11 inches. As a result, my punched holes were routinely misaligned. If you are a stickler for quality and perfection, this is not the hole punch for you. Hole punch also includes free oil residue, metal shavings, and fingerprints fresh out of the box.'

This is an enjoyable Brazilian music sampler, if only the people responsible had attempted to inform us who the actual musicians are. Due to unavailable artist tags in the mp3 files I downloaded from Amazon, I researched other albums on the Brazilian Atração label to find out the names of the artists. Such a sloppy effort to inform us of the actual names of the artists, makes me wonder about the commitment and competency of the label and it's digital distributor "The Orchard", the company that owns eMusic as well. I see these irregularities on the eMusic site all the time, and these occurences do not fill me with joy, only hours of tracking down info and re-tagging files.



Here's who I think is on this sampler:



Bomfim by Naurêa

Samba da Bahia by Banda de Boca

Samba de Garoa (trk 12) is actually

Coisas Da Paixão (La Solitudine) by Carlos Pitta

( thanx to reviewer Speight who tracked down his album Fotos, Baladas E Recordações)

Terezinha De Jesus by Paulo Moura

Vale do Javari by Regional Vermelho E Branco

Xote Laranjeira by Renato Borghetti

Pássaro Sonhador by Arlindo Junior

Lá Vema Onda by Escurinho ( the album is called Malocage)

De Lua e Sol by Gilberto Monteiro

Iererê by Alê Muniz

Nayambing Blues by Adão Negro

Eu Prefiro Baião by Cascabulho

Pérola by Alma Serrana

Sete Palavras by Pedro Bento e Ze Da Estrada (?) Atração Presents: Music From Brazil

Track 12 is actually "Coisas Da Paixão (La Solitudine)" by Carlos Pitta, track 1 of the the album Fotos, Baladas E Recordações.

(I found this out listening to the song samples of length 3:36 on a search for the label name until one sounded the same. Quicker than learning Portuguese.)



It would be nice if the track listing was accurate and complete, but otherwise some nice music, especially for a free sampler. Does seem odd that they don't make it easier to find the represented artists.

Excellent, Excellent effort, Lil Mike...!!!



That being said, I can add the following changes. Most are just for purity of Nomenclature. Rest assured, they're no biggie :)



Tk 1:- "Sete Palavras" is by "Pedro Bento & Zé Da Estrada" (per the CD sleeve Front) or "Pedro Bento e Zé Da Estrada" (to keep it Spanish). Also note the accent on Zé's name.



Trk 4:- The song is by Adão Negro all right. However, what's interesting is, this sampler version is the Studio version, while Amazon is actually 'selling' only a LIVE version. Guess we can call this studio version "An Amazon Freebie Exclusive!!!" :)



Tk 7: The song name is "Lá Vem a Onda", not "Lá Vema Onda".



Tk 8: The artist is 'Arlindo Jr"



Tk 12: Unfortunately, this is not correct. Demônios da Garoa DOES HAVE a "Samba da Garoa" from the album "E Convidados". However, it is 5:01 min long, and from the Amazon preview, it sounds pretty bombastic. The 3:36 version in this sampler is a soft And sentimental song... doesn't AT ALL sound like a "Samba". Admittedly, I am Stumped as well on this one. If I had to venture a guess, Amazon may have screwed up and uploaded the wrong song for the right title (or vice versa).



Any of our Spanish-speaking friends wanna help out here?





That's all I can find out. Now I'm gonna shut off my smokin' brain, lean back and listen to the whole CD again.... :)

Thank you everyone who are trying to identify the proper musicians for these tracks. One correction, the official language of Brazil is Portuguese, not Spanish. Those who speak Spanish can help but we really need some diehard Brazilian music buffs or Brazilians themselves to properly identify these songs for us whose primary language is English. The sampler itself is a good eclectic collection of the kind of music that is listened to by the many people who live in the rural areas of Brazil and listen to the radio day and night.

You really can't beat free for trying out a new kind of music you may or many not like. In my case, it wasn't for me. Despite there being a wide variety of styles represented, I ended up deleting the whole thing after sampling each track, not a single one made it to my permanent collection.

I love this album!! I downloaded it when it was first offered and I listen to it about 3 times a week. This is a great album to have as background music to work and work out to. I find myself listening to the songs but not singing along (which will make me lose concentration at work).. Great album! - Free Mp3 - Free - Latin Music - Compilation'

Super Troopers is a great movie and I would have purchased it on blu-ray regardless of any bonus features. However, I must say I am very disappointed with the game Stupor Troopers. The trivia pops up at random with white text on a bright yellow background, making it almost impossible to read. Also, selecting the answers to the pop up trivia is difficult, but I am using a PS3, not a traditional blu-ray player for what it's worth. Another issue I have is that if you choose to play the game and want to leave the movie, there is no way to jump back in where you left off. I was 45 minutes into the movie, and tried to come back to it later, but I could not resume where I left off, so the rest of the game was ruined for me.

Overall, the film looks great on blu-ray, from every mustache close up to syrup chug. Regardless of my problems with the bonus features, this is a must own for any fan of Broken Lizard and particularly Super Troopers. Super Troopers [Blu-ray]

I loave this movie. Yes it is stupid humour...the kind that you shake your head at...but it will make you laugh. I had a friend who was really depressed and I made her watch it and by the end she was laughing and feeling a little better. Granted, this is not for everyone as it has ADULT situations/drug use/alcohol use/foul language but if you watch it with a laid back/this is just a goofball movie attitude you might enjoy it.

If you have seen this movie you have already bought the DVD. If you haven't what are you waiting for? It is kick-ass funny and is a movie you will want to watch multiple times. The last thing <meow> I have to say <meow> is the Schnozzberries taste <meow> like Schnozzberries!

These guys are hilarious! We watch this film over and over and my husband and son say the lines even before the actors do - which was annoying at first, but now it is like a game, and I've joined in the fun!!!

I Love this movie! We saw these guys in Chicago and had a chance to talk to them after their show. They were funny, and they were friendly! I'd love to have them over to my house to party!

Definite upgrade from the DVD - the PIP full cast commentary is worth the low price alone.



PQ - More visible details, especially the faces. Some soft scenes. not a lot of 3D pop.



AQ - Definite upgrade: during the 'crotch shooting' scene via DTS-HD, i discovered this was shot in an enclosed area that had an echo.



recommended if you enjoyed the movie.

If you have seen this movie before you know how much fun it is. The blu-ray version just adds to this movie and really makes it a worth while purchase. Integrated into the blu-ray is a drinking game which is a great way to get a party going or keep it going!!! That along with some other extras make this blu-ray worth the price!!!!

Looks great in Blu Ray. Especially interior scenes.



The new PIP commentary is worth the price of upgrading to Blu Ray alone.



If you like this movie, buy it!



BTW I knocked off one star since I think the movie is a little too long and less of the funny bits during the last 45 minutes where they focus on the criminal stuff. - Broken Lizard - High Definition - Blu - Comedy'
