Editorial Review

You have to love something as clever as this. We've struggledwith hoisting bikes onto storage hooks in the garage, and that's justnot the way to live--this is. Just screw the pulley system into theceiling studs, thread rope through the guides, attach the rope to your bike, and effortlessly raise your bike to the ceiling. Pro Stor's Monster bike lift hoists bikes as heavy as 50 pounds up to a 12-foot ceiling, and you don't evenbreak a sweat. The locking mechanism prevents accidental release, andyour bike is out of the way. Solid-steel construction leaves nothing toworry about. We like this Monster. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Great space saver
I have a small garage, and did not have enough space to store my 2 bikes.I recently purchased 2 of these, and problem solved.

This is a great product!My only advice to the manufacturer / installer would be to pre-drill a pilot hole for the wood screws because the phillips head stripped out too easy.I ended up getting some longer wood screws with a flat head (instead of phillips) and that worked better.

But overall, installation was a snap, and I am very satisfied with this product!

IF YOU CAN'T GO HORIZONTAL...GO VERTICAL !!
OUTSTANDING IDEA TO UTILIZE 'EMPTY' SPACE.VERY EASY TO INSTALL AND ARTICULATE ITEMS, I.E. BICYCLES, KAYAKS, STORAGE TRUNKS, BULKY ITEMS, ETC.

Good products get excellent reviews
I bought 3 boxes as well, and must say they really are a great way to gain some floor space back.Everything is well packaged, good instructions, and a breeze to install.Simply a great product. ... Read more

Flimsy
I love the look of this coat rack, and it matches our coffee table, but it's flimsy. If you will only be hanging a little purse and a scarf (as shown), the thing would be fine. BUT, if you want to use more than 4 hooks at a time, forget it. It's lopsided and will fall over.

great look - poor design
If you live a climate that doesn't require heavy coats half of the year, this tree is a modest addition to any decor. BUT, it does have severe balance problems. One should trust that a coat tree will hold a coat without worrying that the tree will fall over. I always have to make sure the tree is steady before leaving my coat hanging. The first joint up from the base on my tree came apart after a year from purchase, leaving me to fix the problem myself, or buying another somewhere. I would recommend this tree for light jackets and purses ONLY!!

Great idea to get kids to hang up coats!
I love my new coat rack. It's so convenient for my grandchildren to just hang up their coats as they come in the door instead of tossing them on the sofa. I didn't even have to ask them to hang up their coats. ... Read more

tips for actually using this great product
This is a case where the premium, 3M product works SO much better than the cheaper brands.I save hundreds on my winter power bills using this stuff...Stay warm this winter!Thanks 3M!!!!

My office is warm and toasty thanks to this stuff!
This kit makes it easy to quicky insulate just about any reasonably sized window you may have.The kit includes one large sheet of plastic and 2 rolls of double sided tape.You apply the tape around the frame of the window you want to insulate, cut a piece of plastic and then apply it to the tape.Once you've done that you just need to use a hair dryer on the plastic to get it to shrink and tighten in your window frame.

I used these kits to seal drafty windows in an old building.It took a little over an hour to cover 4 windows.The temperature difference is dramatic and when the plastic has been well tightened and trimmed it isn't too noticable. ... Read more

Park-Zone is an innovative precision-parking device for the home that's easy to use and even easier to install. After a simple one-time setup, the Park-Zone uses its ultrasonic sensing mechanism to measure the distance from your car to the garage wall as you park. When you pull into the garage, you see the green light illuminate, then midway it changes to yellow, and when the light turns red you're right where you want to be. In our book, this beats a tennis ball hanging on a string because it's a lot easier to set up, it's much more precise, and, unlike the tennis ball, it looks good in a garage. Anyone who parks in a small or crowded garage will appreciate the accuracy this gadget offers. The Park-Zone operates on AC power or on batteries that last an entire year. Stop bumping the back wall and get into the Park-Zone. --Brian Trinen ... Read more

• Requires 4 AA batteries (not included)

Not worth all the hassle for the power/battery
I think it is really unpleasing to have the power outlet and it is a real pain to have to worry about batteries... I don't think it's worth the price.I then found a ParkingTarget (ParkingTarget.com) which is non-technical, so it doesn't need power, and seems to work much better.You should consider it before making the mistake of buying this really expensive one.

Perfect Parking Every Time
This product is great!With its green-yellow-red light system, the driver knows exactly when the car is perfectly parked.One reviewer stated, incorrectly, that you cannot use more than one in a single garage.I have had two functioning in my garage for several years, without problem or incident.I have mine plugged into an outlet, rather than battery operated, so that may improve performance, but if the product is aligned according to the easy-to-follow instructions, there shouldn't be a problem.My oldest son just got his first car, and my first purchase was the Park-Zone to ensure he doesn't wreck his car pulling into the garage!This product is definitely a 5-star product!

Not the greatest
My husband purchased one for me for christmas 2004.It worked for a short time.Approximately for a month, now it doesn't do anything.Now the return policy is over and I cannot get the refund.Great while it worked but I agree that a bobber on a string touching the windshield is much cheaper and has done the job for the last 11 years. ...

Worked great for me!
We just finished building a log home with just over 1400 sq ft of T&G oak flooring on the first floor alone. I bought the PC pneumatic Hammerhead flooring nailer and 8 boxes of these cleats. As in other reviews, if the nail only partially goes in, you have to break it off. The floor is solid and I don't have a single loose board or squeak anywhere (and I didn't even overkill on the nails like I usually do and had two plus boxes left over). I also found Amazon to be the best buy. I highly recommend this cleats, they do exactly what their supposed to do.

waynecr
These 2" nails are actually easier to set than the 1.5" nails that I started my 1000 sq. ft flooring project with.Amazon does not sell the 1.5" (but the Porta-Nail company will).I concur that it will make your second story floors squeekless (or almost totally quiet). These nails are very high quality, and they DO qrip.Once into the wood (or bamboo - in my case) they will not come out of your piece of flooring. I highly recommend this product.

This is the ultimate one-way nail
If you try to pull this nail out from the floor even it went in only 1/3 of its length, you would break it before you can get it out. That's how strong the grapping power this nail has. I used it to stop the sqeaking in old floor before I put the new Brazilian cherry and maple floor on top. If you want your floor to be quiet for the years to come like I do, choose this one. There is nothing better or even as good as this one. ... Read more

Smooth as Silk!
Just finished the casing on the closet door frames in my daughters' room. These were flawless in my Accuset 200BN.
Never a jam with the 2" brads or the 1 1/4" brads!

Average Performance Brads
These are functional, but not very tough.They seem to be a little softer than some other brads I have used, which lets them deflect fairly easily at this long length.Therefore, keep your fingers out of range!They do hold well and are difficult to remove if you make a boo-boo.

Nailed again
I am a finish contractor and I really find it nice when i can buy a quality product that will not damage either my tools or the project that I am working on.These nails feed thru my accuset brad nailer w/o anytrouble at all and plan to switch over to them fulltime. ... Read more

Good nails.Good price.
If you have a Porter Cable FR350, for some reason finding nails can be a slight problem.The mega home store with the orange sign has them, but not consistently.So these are a good stop-gap until you can find more.

They drive well and seem to hold well.

Won't work with the PC FR530 Nail Gun
These may be great nails, but they'll probably jam and misfire with the Porter Cable FR530 nail gun.The FR530 needs plastic-collated nails, not paper-collated like these are.I made the mistake of buying a ... case of paper-collated nails, only to have non-stop problems with them.Only on the Porter Cable website does it mention that the gun uses plastic-collated.

Poor Quality Nails for the Porter-Cable Finish Nailer
These nails are not of the quality necessary for the Porter-Cable FinishNailer that they are typically advertised with (FN250A).They sometimescame out 2 at a time, not at all, or caused the nailer to jam.I calledPorter-Cable, and acquired their nails, and the problems went away. I wouldnot recommend these nails, especially for this nailer. ... Read more
