These are the pens my son prefers to draw with. There are many available art markers out there but for solid clear color that is permenant and easy to use my son really enjoys the sharpies. For that matter, so do I.I find the cost very reasonable and I have found that they last longer than the traditional art markers. You do need to be careful as they are permenant and they will not *blend* like general artist markers but if you are using them to outline or fill in large amounts of space with the same color, these are tops in the price range.I generally use these with a more solid paper to prevent bleed-through to the other side or general bleeding of colors. Not a paper as thick as watercolor paper but a decent drawing paper. These arent the kind of markers I would sketch on newsprint for example.the new colors they came up with are clear, sharp and eye catching and the nibs are solid. These are a very good pen in the catagory Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Markers, 12 Colored Markers(30072)

Sharpies are the bomb. They are great for writing on CDs, stereo equipment, posters, footballs, plaster casts, you name it. Colorfast and waterproof, there is almost no surface they won't write on, other than water itself. Now available in these awesome vibrant colors, too!

LONG LASTING * NON-TOXIC * MULTI-COLORED * GOOD VALUE,



WHAT'S BETTER THAN A PACK OF 4?



A PACK OF 12!!!!!!!!!



"Sanford(R) Sharpie(R) Permanent Fine-Point Markers, Assorted Colors, Pack of 12" is an excellent value as it does indeed write relatively indelibly on almost anything. After it dries for a minute, it becomes smudge-proof and waterproof. The non-toxic ink is a pleasant feature especially around kids and the four colors come in handy. If the fine point isn't right for you, Sharpie makes lots of others varieties in many different colors. You can find these markers at virtually any retailer.



5***** Durability .... 5***** Value .... 5***** Versatility

Sharpie PERMANENT Markers are not only classic markers but they write on abso-frickin'-lutely EVERYTHING! This COOL, NEW 12 pack fine point includes the standard black, red, blue,and green, but also includes orange, purple, brown, yellow, aqua, lime green, turquoise and cranberry. These splendid markers also come in chisel tip and ultra fine TOO, if you prefer fatties or skinnies!Beautiful, vibrant colors that you just can't beat!Happy Marking!

I love these pens, but my green doesn't work. They are extremely permanent... the only way to get them off of surfaces is rubbing alcohol. All the colors work great and last forever...except the green :( . The only bad thing is that if you press too hard the tip gets dull very easily and the lines get very thick and messy. The colors are bold and crisp and don't fade after being left outside for a while. I would recommend buying these at a store where they are easy to return if one doesn't work. I highly recommend these because you get a lot for your money and the variety of colors is great.

If you like Sharpies as much as I do, you also look for the best prices possible. This is a very good deal, and the pens last forever, assuming you don't eat (or loose) them. Try this set. I am never without a set of spares. - Markers - Pens - Colored Markers - Office Supplies'

This is a great little clip and works just was it suppose to. It attaches to your phone after you drill a hole for the screw. It only took me about five minute to have it installed and I used an ice pick to put a hole in the cheap case that attaches to my phone. I would recommend you buy a cheap case so that your are not drilling a hole in your battery door. Also putting a little loc-tic on the bolt is a great to ensure that it don't ever come lose. Last thing is if your rotate your phone with it on your belt and you don't hear clicking that mean the screw is coming lose and your phone is about to hit the floor. Hope this was helpful! Universal BLACK Swivel Belt Clip for Cell Phone, Mp3, Ipod Snap on covers Hard cases or Faceplates- ( 2 Pieces set)

I am an ER nurse so I use my phone to look up drug names. I have to have my phone accessible but also out of my way. This ratchting clip works great because it make it easy for me to get to my phone quickly but it also doesn't swing and get in my way like a regular clip does. Great product!

If you bought a cell phone holder which comes with a belt clip and now that clip is broke. Do not buy this clip as a replacement. This clip has a slot which is incompatible with the little round thing built in to the back of your cell phone holder.



This clip does come with a "round thing" but this one is smaller. I would have to cut the "round thing" off the back of my cell phone holder then screw their "round thing" onto the back of my cell phone holder. WHY



I have tried to find the correct sized clip all by itself but have not been able to so far.'

Bosch 4100-09 - bosch, table saw

Bosch 4100DG-09 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Stand and Digital Rip Fence

I bought this tool as my first table saw. I have been quite happy with the saw, but I question the value of the digital rip fence, especially at a $100 premium. My experience has been that it needs frequent calibration to the blade and turns itself off too soon. I find that the optical scale works better for me. I also find the aluminum table top sometimes marks the pieces being cut and precludes the use of magnetic feather boards or jigs. Overall a good saw for the price if you don't spring for the digital fence. Bosch 4100DG-09 10-Inch Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Stand and Digital Rip Fence

This is one heck of a saw. Everything is thought out. Everything is right there where you need it. Everything screws down tight and it's obvious that the people who designed the saw thought long and hard about how people work and put everything on the saw and in an easily accessible place to help them work. Using it is a joy. Yes, you pay about $200 more than the Rigid jobsite saw to get that experience, but it's one heck of a pleasant experience. The whole saw makes sense and works well.



The riving knife is great, and the blade guard makes complete sense. It takes about 15 minutes of practice to be able to whip the guards on and off, but once you're really got it it's astoundingly easy. It is also VERY easy to work with this saw with all the guards in place, and that's important.



A shopvac easily plugs into the back of the saw, and it does reduce dust significantly. You're still getting out the broom and dust plan, though.



It takes a bit of muscle to get this across a lawn and into a pickup truck, but it's not that bad. The stand is not wobbly at all once it's up and ready to work.



One problem I had was the fence would chatter as I tried to slide it back and forth. Quite annoying for a $700 saw. I smeared some paste wax on the rails, though, and the problem totally disappeared. I can now slide the fence back and forth with one finger, and it glides--almost--like a puck across an air hockey table. Cool.



I bought this back in February 2008, and I also purchased the outfeed extension, an excellent accessory (as is the left side extension). The long rails on the outfeed extension banged the digital box, but a call to Bosch customer service had them overnighting a new, shorter set of rails to me. Wow. That's customer service.



If you have a wife how demands to put a car in the garage ("It's my workshop, honey! Why do you keep calling it a garage?") or a need to take a saw around to different places or if you want to do your cutting in the driveway so you can clean up the sawdust with a leaf blower (and with MDF, this is a great way to do it), this saw is the cat's pajamas. I love it.

I bought this saw for myself. I am a woman in my 60's with a passion for laying laminate floors. This saw is easy to assemble, and comfortable to use because the table easily elevates to the perfect height for you. I did my kitchen and dining room floors with it in one 3 day period and thanked my lucky stars for it.

The price online was really a bargain for a Bosch. It far outstrips everything I saw online or up close and personal at the local home improvement stores.

Almost better than its simple setup and movablity is being able to fold it up and store it compactly. My sons are getting in line to use it next and no problem - easy to tranport.

This is my first worksite saw and it's simply great. I'm installing hardwood floors, baseboards, steps, and trim and this saw does everything. The fence is true and the adjustable height blade ensures that there will be minimum tear-outs. In fact, I haven't gotten any yet! The best feature has to be the gravity-rise stand. Talk about ingenious. A single twist of the lever and it'll fold/unfold with ease. What sold me on this saw was a review conducted by a master cabinet maker who put this saw through the same paces as he would his expensive cabinet saw...guess what...it performed admirably. I'm picky about my work and wanted a good saw that I can tote around from job to job. This is the one. I'm proud to say that I own one of these and have recommended it to several of my friends. Buy this and you won't be disappointed.

My main review of this saw is on the 4100-09 saw page rather than here. I only give this one 2 stars because you can save $100 on the price of this saw by buying the 4100-09 and the Digital Scale separately on Amazon.



Don't know why Amazon is charging $802 for this unit as it sits... but the Digital unit for the 4100-09 is only $102 on top of the $599 price of the 4100 and it is EXACTLY the same unit that is on the 4100DG-09 shown here for over $800. That's a savings of nearly $100.00.



It takes about 10-minutes to install the Digital unit on the 4100-09, turning it into this unit. Easy!



Don't waste your money. Go with separates and save!



UPDATE: Amazon has now changed their pricing structure on this item and the review above no longer is valid. Good on 'ya Amazon for valuing this item as it SHOULD be! Cheers!

Got mine yesterday (Sept 21, 2009), uncrated it and put it together (including gravity rise stand) with no problem. Instructions were easy to follow and illustrations clear. All measurements were dead on including miter slot to blade, 90 degree and 45 degree stops, and fence to blade. Also bought the two support extensions which installed easily. The only problem I encountered was the fence to blade zero with the pointer. I couldn't move the pointer far enough to zero it out with the fence against the blade. I will call Bosch about this but it doesn't appear that any additional adjustment is possible. It's out about 1/16th inch and I suppose I'll get used to it but for the money it should be dead on. The digital fence window is hard to read through but not impossible. I give the saw a fat 4 on a 1-5 scale because of the problems noted above but would buy it again in a heartbeat. - Portable Table Saw - Bosch - Portable Saw - Table Saw'

I don't usually write these reviews, but I was extremely irritated with the way this product turned out for me.

As a high school math teacher I am always in need of a good pencil sharpener, but considering I personally buy more than half of my school supplies, I couldn't afford to spend a lot on one. After reading the reviews, and deciding to purchase it, I anticipated receiving a great working sharpener for little money!

NOT THE CASE. After "teaching" my students how to work the sharpener - hold the pencil firmly, press VERY gently, take it out quickly - over and over again, it broke. It constantly would break the lead off the pencil and get stuck in the sharpener. And finally it just completely quit working. So after only four weeks of school, it is getting no use whatsoever but collecting dust in my desk, while my students are back using 99cent plastic sharpeners. It worked great for me personally, but for a classroom of young adults/teenagers, it is not worth it! X-Acto 16750 Battery-Powered Pencil Sharpener, Black

My old battery operated pencil sharpener died a miserable death a few months ago and I needed a replacement. I vacilated between a battery-operated one and an electric one. I finally decided on the battery-operated sharpener as I have noticed no difference in the life length between the two--I use electric ones on my desk at work. At any rate, I decided on the X-ACTO Razor Blade Battery Sharpener. I also purchased a package of rechargeable batteries for it.



The sharpener has worked perfectly each time that I have used it. Another reviewer mentioned art pencils and it is a valid point to take into consideration. I haven't used art pencils in a while so cannot speak to that. One complaint mentioned that the catch-container is only large enough to sharpen 1 or 2 pencils before it needs to be emptied. That has not been my experience. I can go several days--and several sharpenings--without needing to empty the container.



My only complaint about the sharpener--and it has been my complaint with most of those I have owned--it's noisy as in very. The cat runs out of the room each time that I use it. That said, it is a small price to pay for a perfectly sharpened pencil.

just about every time i've ever use this thing it pulls the lead out of the pencil and clogs the sharpening device with said lead. you have to take it apart and dig out the lead and then grind away another inch of pencil to compensate for the lead that fell out. if you are very lucky you only need to waste about 3-4 inches of pencil to get one point.

I needed a portable, light, and inexpensive sharpener for my pencils- regular graphite #2, a variety of drawing pencils (including charcoal and graphite in assorted soft/hardnesses), colored pencils, and watercolor pencils. This sharpener has done a perfect job on all of them. I haven't had any problems with tips breaking off or shattering, and the pencil tip is always a perfect razor-fine sharpness with a good balance of wood to graphite/lead. I especially like that I no longer have to use an X-Acto knife to get my pencils to a good sharpness for the different grips I use when I draw.



The only caveat to this sharpener is you must hold the sharpener in one hand and the pencil in the other, unless you manage to secure it to your work surface. The motor is powerful that either the pencil or the sharpener will try and spin when you insert a pencil and it turns on. But if you secure both pencil and sharpener, it only takes one or two rotations for the pencil to be sharpened completely. Beware of over-sharpening, which will weaken your pencil and sometimes I have a tendency to do. Less is more with this unit.



I can't recommend this sharpener enough. It can be a little loud (but not loud enough to cause shock and awe, or be heard in the next room) but what pencil sharpener isn't? It's small, inexpensive, sharp, hard-working, and super-portable. For only a few dollars for than a cheapy plastic "do it yourself" model, it's an essential tool for any artist, student, household, or crafter.

This thing was a disaster, and I gave it a chance. Really, I did. A few years.... It simply chews up pencils. Just when you think it's almost sharp, snap! Broken lead, and somehow, it breaks the lead way down the shaft so you have to chew off another inch or two before you finally get something resembling a sharp pencil. So frustrating!



Oh, and don't even get me started on what happens to those broken leads! You have to take off the shaving-catcher/cover thing and get something like a toothpick to dislodge it while the darn blade keeps moving..... Arrrggghh! Then, when you try to put the cover back on, it feels as though it's going to break, (though in all fairness, it never did).



In. The. Trash. Can. Sharpened all 24 required pencils for my son's school by hand, thank you very much. - Battery-operate - Electric Pencil Sharpener - X-acto - Battery'

Escort Passport Radar Detector - escort passport radar detector, escort passport radar

Visit Store Now !!

WHICH ONE IS BETTER? READ AND FIND OUT. I bought both the Escort 9500ix and Beltronics GX65 for a week long, on dash, real world comparison. They both are sold by the same company and they offer a 30 day, money back guarantee. I figured, what the heck.....I'll try them out, side by side. These units were both mounted at the same level on the window of my truck.



I read all the reviews I could get my hands on and narrowed it down to these two radar detectors. The Escort 9500ix and Beltronics GX65 models are touted as the most sensitive window mounted units available with the new "GPS" advantage.



DISPLAY- Both units have the option of dim, medium, bright, dark and auto mode. The Escort 9500ix has blue lights. The background of this unit is black, but glows blue around the numbers, to a point of skewing the display a little bit. At night, it is easier to read. The Beltronics GX65 has red lights with a pure black background. The GX65 display is crystal clear, day or night. Advantage Beltronics GX65. Importance - Moderate.



POWER CORD- While sitting behind the wheel, the Escort 9500ix cord plugs in on the left hand side of the detector unit. The Beltronics GX65 cord plugs in on the right hand side. Depending upon the set up of your vehicle, SPECIFICALLY THE LOCATION OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY, this could make a big difference. Both of the detectors have a dark display mode, where the display goes completely black (for night use, so other drivers can't see your detector). While using dark mode, the only thing that lights up is the very end of the power cord, where it plugs into the power supply. The unit still makes sound, but only you will be able to see the light at the power supply. Very ingenious idea! Advantage to neither. It depends upon the location of you power supply. Importance - Moderate



SIZE and BUTTONS - Both units of virtually the same size, however, I personally prefer the shape and button layout of the Beltronics GX65. Importance - Low



WINDOW MOUNT - Both the 9500ix and GX65 use the same exact window mounts. For an expensive $500 dollar radar detector, I feel that the mounts are very cheesy. My old mount on my $79 Whistler was superior to this window mount. Both of these units tap the window when driving. This is due to the design of the mount. The mother company needs to improve this window mount in my opinion. Importance - Moderate



GPS "LOCKOUT" CAPABILITY - Both units have the ability to "Lockout" any false signal. When you know the detector is sensing a false signal, all you need to do is tap a button three times and it will permanently lock out the false signal. This is an absolutely fantastic feature. Both detectors also have the ability to warn you of red light cameras, photo cameras and speed traps. This is also a nice advancement. You can manually set the detector to warn you of any known speed trap in your area. Nice feature! The only GPS negative is when you're driving down the interstate and you drive over an intersection with a red light camera. The detector will sound, even though your not going through the light. This is the only negative I've found regarding the GPS system. Importance - VERY HIGH



AUTO LEARN - This feature is only on the 9500ix. You drive a false signal 3 times and the 9500ix will automatically lock out the signal permanently. For any proactive person (most people who purchase a radar detector!), this feature is not that important. The moment I drive by any false signal, I lock it out immediately. Why would I wait to drive by it 3 times? It only takes three taps of a button. On the other hand, for someone who is electronically challenged, this feature might be a lifesaver. With this feature, theoretically, after a few weeks of driving, you should be able to drive around your home area, never touch your detector and all false signals will be locked out. Therefore, no more false alarms, Police warnings only! Advantage: Escort 9500ix. Importance - Moderate



SENSITIVITY - This area is the most important of all. The reviews and tests I've read online, showed the 9500ix as being slightly more sensitive to Ka, K band and laser. It's only a few hundred feet, but that could be the difference between a speeding ticket or not.



These results are not scientific, but in every situation I encountered, the 9500ix picked up true police radar a second to a few seconds quicker the the GX65. This is really the main reason I decided to keep the Escort Passport 9500ix. In my opinion (and the scientific results back it up), the sensitivity of the 9500ix is superior to the GX65. Advantage: Escort Passport 9500ix. Importance - CRUCIAL.



THE WINNER, and better detector where it matters most is.................. the ESCORT PASSPORT 9500ix. I shipped the Beltronics GX65 back for a full refund. Escort Passport 9500ix Radar/Laser Detector (Black) - 9500ix - Escort Passport Radar Detector - Escort Passport Radar - Passport'

I bought this product for my 10 year old daughter. It came within a week of purchasing and according to my daughter fits better into her DS than the original. She loves to change out the colors depending on her mood. New 4 Piece Stylus Pen Set Multi Color for Nintendo DS Lite

Somehow I have lost the original ndsl stylus, luckily I managed to buy a replacement here through eforcity. Shipment was quick and the best thing is there are 4 different colored stylus, so I can just use whichever one I like.

I reccomend this stylus. Don't spend your money to an expensive stylus that is works just as good. My daugther lost her 2 stylus that came with her DS and I had to get her a new one. I found this here on Amazon and I'm glad I looked here first. She loved the different colors she keep changing her stylus whatever color she's in the mood for. I loved these and so did my 8 y.o daugther. Go get this don't hesitate!!!!

I'm so glad to find this set of styli. My kids keep losing theirs and these were perfect. They are inexpensive, they snap into their DS Lites and hold there just like the original styli. I've tried them, and they feel comfortable in the hand. Now, I don't have to worry about my kids scratching their screens tapping with other pointy objects. So far, so good!

My niece lost the stylus pen for her Nintendo DS Lite (rose) while she was visiting me. I looked up this product on Amazon and was a little shocked at just how inexpensive it was. Sometimes when things are so cheap, the quality is poor, but I decided to buy it using standard delivery. It arrived in three days from the time I placed the order online. Each stylus is individually wrapped and the pink and white styli look great with my niece's Nintendo. The quality is high and seems to be an exact replica of the original. She's happy with the product and I'm very happy with the price and the quick delivery of the product to my home. Go ahead and buy with confidence.

The manufacturer of this product actually made the tips that fit into the actual pen. This did not work well for the set that I purchased. Within the first two minutes of use, one of the tips fell off (since they are clear we have been unable to find it to try and reattach it with super glue.) This occurred again with 2 other pens in the pack. Within less than 1 week of having a 4 pack, I only have 1 that is still good for use. As for the look and ability to use it like the original, it is great, as long as the tip is attached. I would not recommend this for anyone that uses their stylus on a regular basis. I purchased mine for my children ages 7-13. I am just thankful that the set was inexpensive.

My almost 5 year old has a bad habit of chewing on things (I keep waiting for her to outgrow it!), and she's already demolished one stylus. I couldn't believe the price of these ($1.35/set!!) and had to grab a few.



I don't know what an original DS Lite stylus looks like, I've only bought an off-brand. My daughter's DS Lite is a hand-me-down from my niece and didn't come with a stylus - but I think these are probably close to the original and very nice. Especially when you consider the low price and FREE shipping!



A few reviewers must have gotten a bad set, because I ordered four sets and all 16 pens are fine. The tips look great and all 16 snap into the DS's stylus slot and STAY in place. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase and definitely recommend these pens for your (or your child's) DS Lite. They would also be a nice little gift to give along with a DS game for birthdays or Christmas. - Stylus Pen - Replacement - Game Accessories - Nintendo Stylus'

Okay boat owners, if you are like me you probably didn't want to spend a lot on your boat to self winterize your boat. I live in Maine and we have had one pant load of snow this year. I knew the cover I bought was going to need to be able to hold up against anything a Maine winter could throw at it. This cover has held up very well indeed.



1) The material is rugged yet flexible, breathes and is remarkably water repellent.

2) The color I choose was gray, because I have enough blue tarps floating around in my neighbors yards! Go with the gray.

3) The tie down straps are stong enough but may be the weak link over the long haul. They are nylon and have good clips to fasten under and through the hull of your boat. You can crank 'em down tight to get a good fit and this helps to shed the water.

4) The elastic band that hold it close to the hull once installed, seems good and able to last for several seasons (that said this is the first season for me)

5) One of the worst things you can do to a boat , or any other mechanical device for that matter, is wrap it so tight it cannot breathe! This cover has two ventalation holes at the top of the cover in the stern. They seem to work well.



You might as well just throw out the little plastic tarp stand they provide with the cover.It us useless which I didn't mind because I knew I wanted to make my own out of wood any way.



One other thing about this tarp, there are a gazilion merchants selling this particular "Classic" brand. I happened to call the one who had the best price in Seattle and was glad I did. He recommended that I get it larger than the measure indicated on the description if there were any doubt about it fitting my 21' bow rider. BEST advice I have gotten in a while as I needed the extra material to get a really good tight synch for winter. GO LONG man if you can. You can always bind the extra to your trailer or some other anchor point.



Hope this helps those out there that want to maintain their own boat in a cost effective way. Classic Accessories StormProTM Boat Cover (Grey, Model D)

Receiving this product I was pleased to feel the thickness of the material. The internal elastic around the bottom edge helps keep the cover on and also helps when installing it. However it didn't fit my boat. I did return it and purchase the same cover in a larger size. Your situation may vary but I urge you to think about buying a larger size than you think you might need.



I purchased the "E" version of this cover. The Amazon site said it was for boats 20-22' in length and proper for a V Hull Runabout. My boat is a 21' V Hull Runabout. The length was actually just about right. However there were no "width" indications on the Amazon web site page so I went to the Auto Barn web site where there was a more detailed chart. That chart indicated the "E" size would handle boats up to 106" wide. My boat is 96" wide. It didn't fit the width by a wide margin, more than a foot short of the needed width. I spoke with a representative of Auto Barn who said the width was meant to be the actual beam width - the widest part of the boat. I believe they do not properly allow for the height of the boat above the bond line nor do they properly account for the windshield.



I asked to exchange the cover for the next larger size. Auto Barn does not do exchanges. I had to RMA the cover back to Auto Barn and go back to Amazon to order the next larger size. It cost me $40 to ship the cover back. So I've now paid $40 for a product that didn't meet the stated size chart. I'm not happy about that at all.



Now that I have the "Model F" cover for 22-24' boats with up to 116" it is longer than needed and still just barely fits the width. I will not be able to use this boat for trailering on the road because it will not fit tight and would flap in the wind and perhaps scratch the boat. For me this is okay though because I have an official custom designed Yamaha cover (very expensive) that I use for road travel. This cover is just for storage. If you want to use a cover for road travel you may have to look elsewhere.



Bottom line. The cover is great, Auto Barn policy not so good, buy a larger size than you think you need if you have a taller boat with a tall windshield.



For reference I have a 2006 Yamaha SX210. I don't think it is much different than other brand runabout with standard windshields.

So far, so good. Received the cover a few days ago and installed. Not as thick as my original factory cover, but its also about half the weight, so relatively easy to install by myself. I have a 17'-8" V-Hull I/O runabout and Model D (17'-19') fit great. Its a tad too wide, but nothing a few tarp clips won't fix. Overall good fit for a non-custom cover.



The steel gray color looks great on my black boat and I like how the straps run all the way across the width of the cover. Like other reviewers I found that yes, the pole included was a bit flimsy, but once tied down it worked fine. Then again, in California mine won't have to stand up to 100 lbs of snow! Now, let's just see how the cover holds up in the summer sun!



WORD OF CAUTION: Make sure you put foam or something soft like microfiber cloth along any sharp edges as you install and before strapping down. It straps down with force and will probably tear along swim-ladder hinges, bimini frame and other metal hardware -- I almost learned that the hard way!

I bought this on the strength of the reviews. My husband didn't want to spend the money and thought our patched boat cover was good enough, but it leaked one too many times when he got sloppy with the supports and rain pooled on it. This cover was a lot thinner than our old one, so my husband was skeptical, but it looked very nice. We put it up the day we got it, skipping the pole because of the reviews and putting our own supports under it. It was a great fit. We had no rain overnight, but the next morning, the cover was soaked through with dew. This is a nice-looking dust cover, but that's about it. We let it dry then repacked it and did an online return through Amazon. UPS picked it up the next day, and we promptly got a full, hassle-free refund. Way to go, Amazon! Can't say the same about this cover. I rarely write reviews but wanted to warn others.'
