This is the survival tool I'm reviewing for you!
Hello, Today I would enjoy to explain to you my review of the navitool made by schrade. I like this little thing quite a bit. It is a little cluunky so if you want to carve something delicate for your sweetheart or open the wine for some romance, you should look at another place and read those reviews. The navitool has good tool and features. The compass is quality. The light is a very bright one, causing onlookers to squint and put their hands up in defense. The whistle is very high pitch and LOUD!! You cannot have enough imagination to see how loud it is. The only downsides are that I mentioned before the issue of the clunkiness and also a lack of waterproofing for the little compartment for the lighter. That would have been nice so you could keep the lighter dry. The plusses are for the overall quality of the manufacturing, the cleverly locking tools, the compass, and the light. Okay, I give it four stars for these reasons and hope I have been helpful for you today! Thank You! ... Read more

First one was a disappointment
I got the Gatemouth bag as a gift from my son two years ago.The bag looks great, has lots of pockets and sure seems strong.I use it to carry emergency tools in the truck of the car.I have not overloaded the bag.I was very disappointed when the stitching on one entire end panal failed and the bag literally fell apart.I've tried to find warranty info or company contact for this item but have not been able to find anything.The company is owner by Fiskars but I find no support for the Bucket Boss line on their web site.There's a possibility that I had a bad bag.I liked the bag so much while it functioned that I am ordering a replacement. I hope this was just a fluke.The design sure seems just what I need.The company really should stand behind the product though.
Caveat Emptor I guess..

Good but Pricey
Lots of space to accomodate stuff. Strong, lightweight and useful. But you can get a Sears version fo about half the price.

Three years and still going. . . .
I have owned this bag for over 3 years.It is way overloaded (so much that I don't even worry about zipping it up), and has held up very well.Only two small problems (due to my overloading): the clips that hold thestap to the rings on the bag broke, and the metal bar that holds the shapeof the main opening has come out of the end seam.This bag does hold a lotof "stuff."It has held up very well despite my abusing andoverloading (it weighs about 80 lbs with all my stuff.)Well worth thebuy! ...

POOR BATTERY POWER AND CHEAP CONSTRUCTION
I received this drill as a requested Christmas gift in 2003.After a full year of trying to work with it I have retired my Skil 2887-06 because I never got more than two hours out of a fully charged battery (even drilling in soft wood) and the Torque - Speed setting slipped from one to the other under certain circumstances.I found the drill to be excessively heavy and much too BIG for too many jobs.I like the Skil name but this drill was a disaster for me.I don't know which cordless will replace the Skil 2887-06 but I have freed myself of it and am currently using a 25 year old 3/8" Skil.

Great features, but had a few problems which were worked out
This drill was a holiday present.The features list is both innovative and useful.The site light is something most if not all hand tools should have.When I first heard about the little indicator light to tell you if the drill is in forward or reverse, I thought "Bah, I'won't use that" Well, I was wrong, it is a great feature when you are driving screws.This drill comes with both a clutch and a brake which also make it ideal for driving screws and nuts.My only problem with this drill stemmed from the batteries.I was never happy with the length of time they would hold a charge. About six months after first getting the drill, and doing an attic renovation, the length of holding a charge dropped off dramatically.I called the Skil-Bosch service center and described the problem.The gentleman told me that the batteries must have been defective from the start. No muss, no fuss and I was sent new batteries.The drill clearly sounds and feels to be running better with the new batteries.I'd reccomend this drill to my friends.

Amazon.com's delayed my shipment four times
Amazon.com has delayed my shipment four times for this product.I am anxious to get it as it has good reviews, but we're onto about 6 weeks of delays now. I could have already received it had I purchased it at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Nearly as good as advertised
I purchased this remote starter and installed it myself on my Subaru Forester (automatic transmission).Installation ranged from easy to moderately difficult based on the particular feature I was installing.Installing the remote starter portion was easy and can be done in less than an hour - just find out which wires your ignition system uses and connect and then also find the tachometer wire to your gages and connect.When it came time to install the other features such as the door lock/unlock feature, parking light connection, and horn (I used the car horn in place of the optional siren), installation was more difficult.Because the remote starter can handle a variety of door locking mechanisms, you have to determine which type your vehicle uses and then determine the location of the applicable wires; this can be done using Design Tech's website.Hooking up the horn and lights became much more difficult - I had to use relays to have the remote starter's output connect the horn's wiring and light's wiring to ground after searching for a good place to tap into their wiring; this method was explained in the instructions well enough to follow.If your vehicle has a trunk, it may also require hooking up a relay depending on the model.I also used the two auxiliary outputs to hook up to the climate control system so that I can also activate the climate control's air conditioning and rear window defroster if I desire.

Once everything was hooked up, the system functions superbly.I haven't quite determined the range yet, but it seems to be a good distance.Once started, the car runs up to 25 minutes (user selectable) and will periodically (approximately every 5 or 10 seconds) flash the lights to indicate that the vehicle is running.The car doors will also automatically lock (read below about opening a door)

One item that is not as advertised, though, is there is no "quickstop" feature.You can stop the car and restart the car using the remote or you can fumble with the remote and activate a feature called "Turbo Timer" that keeps your car running (for up to 20 minutes) after every stop until you deactivate the feature; the feature takes about 10 seconds to change on the remote and then an additional 10+ seconds to transmit from the remote to the remote starter device in the car.

Whether the car is running because of the remote start or the Turbo Timer, pressing the brake pedal, opening the car hood, or even opening the car door without unlocking the door via the remote starter's transmitter will cause the car's engine to turn off.You can put your key into the ignition and turn the key to "run" and then the car will continue running after pressing the brake.

The transmitter will also warn you if you leave your lights on.

The remote starter can also be configured to start your vehicle at a preset time of day [the transmitter actually starts the car at a user selected preset time] and started every 2 to 12 hours automatically (to keep the engine warm in extremely cold weather).You can also have the remote starter lock all car doors automatically at 2000 engine RPM and unlock upon turning off the car.You can also selectively turn off the horn/siren.

After some (unknown) period of time, the transmitter will not indicate a signal strength to the car.There is not a method to check for connectivity without causing the car to respond somehow - the least intrusive is the "car finder" feature that flashes the lights and sounds the horn three times.The good part about the two-way feature, though, is that if you are too far away your transmitter will let you know so you'll never think you started your car when in fact you didn't.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the remote transmitter is decently small.It's approximately the size of my car's original keyless entry device except it's slightly longer and is about 1 1/2 times as thick.In addition, it has an antenna that's just over half the length of a "AAA" type battery.(Actual dimensions are about 2.25 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide, 0.5 inches thick with an antenna that adds another inch).It weighs slightly more than my original keyless entry device as well but only about another key's worth.It can be attached to your keychain or worn like a cell phone using the included pouch and belt attachment device.The transmitter will also show the length of time the vehicle has been parked or has been running.

All in all I'm fairly happy with the product and its features.I just wish installation were a bit easier.The device is intended for use on both automatic and manual transmission vehicles but use on manual transmission vehicles requires not keeping your car in gear, so I wouldn't recommend using this in hilly areas with manual transmission vehicles.

Additional information on the product is available at the manufacturer's website of www.designtech-intl.com

Handy-Dandy. Big Improvement on the Original Sapphire Light.
The Sapphire light that I've had for a few years is still going strong, but when I decided to purchase another one for my key chain, I chose the newer Elite model. It's the same size: 2 3/4 inches in the longest dimension, which is diagonal. And it comes in the usualrainbow of colors. But the Elite has three modes. The Constant-On mode is a tremendous improvement over earlier models and worth every penny of the Elite's slightly higher price. When you push the switch, the light turns on....and stays on until you push the switch again. No more aching index finger from holding the button in for several minutes. And I can set the Sapphire down, aim it where I want, and have both hands free. The light shuts off automatically after an hour. The second mode is an Alert mode, which the manufacturer (ASP) suggests you use to make your presence known in the dark. If you depress the switch for 5 seconds, the light flashes. You must also depress the switch for 5 seconds to turn it off. The third mode is SOS. Press the switch 3 times rapidly to make the Sapphire light pulse morse code for SOS. This is a little tricky; I have found that it takes 4 quick presses of the switch and a few attempts to activate the SOS mode. In any case, the Constant-On mode is a great convenience.

The Sapphire produces blue light, which is bright without being hard on the eyes. ASP claims it is visible for over a mile. The Sapphire is powered by a battery PowerPak containing a 6-volt lithium battery. It is replaceable. The battery I've had in my old unsophisticated Sapphire has yet to wear out, but I don't use it all that often. A paperclip works well in removing the battery pack. Insert the paperclip into the small hole on one side of the Sapphire, and the battery pack pops out the other side. The Sapphire's frame is black polycarbonate on all colors and models. The body of the light is encased in aluminum in the color of your choice. I like the black Elite Sapphire, because it is inconspicuous on my key chain. But if you'd rather it be conspicuous and easy to find, brighter choices are available. I think you'll prefer the Elite model to the standard Sapphire light, though. You won't be frustrated trying to keep the light turned on while fiddling with something. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Code-named Solar, the Juice KF4 from Leatherman packs 14 very cool tools into one compact, metallic yellow, anodized-aluminum body. Only 3-1/4 inches long, and weighing a mere 5-1/2 ounces, the Solar truly is small enough to carry comfortably in your pocket. Like other Leatherman tools, the Solar butterflies open to expose the needle-nose pliers/wire cutters/wire stripper, with access to three flat-head screwdrivers, a Philips driver, and a lanyard attachment. The tool's handles harbor additional tools: a saw, an awl, a diamond-coated file, a ruler, a serrated knife, and a straight knife. When it's time to work, the Solar positively snaps into the open position. The individual tools are made of high-grade stainless steel. The Juice multitools do lack the blade-locking mechanism found on Leatherman's Wave, but the blades click crisply in place and hold securely. Like all the Juice models, the Solar makes a snazzy gift for technophiles and gadget lovers alike. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

Perfect Middleweight
First off, the guy that wrote the review titled "More expensive with fewer features", has no idea what he's talking about.Plastic?Where?!! The colorful sides are anodized aluminum.They are not structural and make the tools feel great in your hand.And like all Leatherman's, all of the tools are first class and open and click into place beautifully.The juice models are a nice middle size between the micra and the full blown larger models.It's not too big to carry in your pocket, and not too small to do some really useful work.I currently have the Juice S2 and am looking to get this model for Backpacking. The addition of the file, saw, awl, and serrated blade for only 26 more grams over the S2 is outstanding.And no, I don't work for Leatherman, but I do love quality tools.You can't go wrong buying this tool.

Excellent!
This product really comes in handy.It's durable.It has helped me out whenever I need it.This is what I look for in a pocket knife.Quality and durability.

More expensive with fewer features
I own three Leatherman tools, ranging from the Micra to a huge do-all tool that lives in my car's toolbox, but after examining thisunit (and the rest of the "Juice" series), I'm giving it a pass.

Here's the problem: The Juice series is nothing more than existing models dressed up with plastic scales at a higher cost. The scales don't add any functional advantage; instead, they just provide a weak areak that can break if hit too hard or dropped on cement from a geat enough height. Even if you protect them from breaking the plastic will scratch over time and lose what attrativeness it may have.

The beauty of the original Leatherman tools is that they're pure, rugged function. Solid stainless steel and they'll last a lifetime. Buy one of those and you won't regret it. ... Read more

You DO get what you pay for!
There is a reason Gerstner has been around since 1906. Customer satisfaction and product excellence! There is no other wood chest that can compare to Gerstner Chests - period! These chests are built with heirloom status in mind, you know that they will last far beyond your lifetime. My great grandfathers Gerstner chest is still in great working condition and it's from the 1910's! I expect my new one will last just as long. Hats off to Gerstner for staying made in U.S.A. and keeping quality a top priority! The price is easily justified once you see how well the drawers slide and the fit and finish of all the parts - its a quality product and deserves it's top notch reputation. Their brochure and website claim to have "the finest chests built in America" - I think they have the finest chests built in the world! You will never be disappointed with a Gerstner chest. My Dad still won't let go of my great grandfathers - one of these days I hope to own it as well. If you are considering any wood chest purchase I strongly suggest you treat yourself to the "real thing" and buy a Gerstner Chest. ... Read more

NOT AS GOOD
EASY AND CLEAR STEPS TO FOLLOW IN INSTALLATION, ALTHOUGH THE UNIVERSAL REMOTE IS REALLY BAD, FEELS VERY CHEAP...TACHLESS MODE WORKS GREAT, BUT FINDING SERVICE AND TECH SUPPORT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE...GOOD LUCK CONTACTING THEM!

Excellent features but...
The Design Tech Deluxe Remote Car Starter comes with excellent features and a compact remote.The problem is, the item I received did not work.

All wires were hooked up appropriately and double check with a test kit.Once hooked up, there was no response from the unit.After hours of attempting to troubleshoot, I looked online at Design Tech's website for local authorized installers in the hopes that they might be able to answer my question.

Unfortunately the three "authorized" installers in my area REFUSED to touch Design Tech's equipment because, and I quote "they're too difficult to work with.We haven't had much success."

A little alarmed by this response, I attempted to contact the company using their 800 number during their live tech support hours.After waiting 1/2 on hold with no approximate wait time and no end in sight, I hung up and decided instead to return the defective unit back. ... Read more

Great set of tools, great case
Over the years I have had many tool sets - especially socket sets. There's a reason for that - sockets easily fall out of the case when you open them and it is hard to keep things organized.Not so with this set.Each tool is secure in its own place - no falling out and getting lost.In addition the quality of the tools seems excellent.With both SAE and metric sizes this is a really nice set and the price is right.

A really great set of tools
I decided to purchase a real socket wrench set after I knocked my 15 year old cheep-o set on the floor one too many times - and got tired of putting everything back in the case.

First let me say that this case is designed so that WHEN you knock this set on the ground all the sockets stay in place.Second, this set is very well made and thought out.(For instance the metric and standard allen wrenches are different colors - so you can tell them apart at a glance.) These wrenches fit the hand just right and are a pleasure to use.

I highly recommend them. ... Read more

Undoubtedly, the thing that sets this multi-tool apart from the competition is the super-cool one-handed-flip that opens the tool for use. We'd be sold on that alone, but to its credit, it's light, compact, and packed with essential tools. Look at the list: pliers/grippers, wire cutters, partially serrated blade, small/large screwdrivers, Phillips screwdriver, three-sided file, can opener, bottle opener, awl, rulers, lanyard, and a heavy duty leather pouch. The same Compound Leverage mechanism that lets you flip open the tool with one hand also doubles the pliers' force. We can't think of anyone who wouldn't find great uses for this ingenious tool.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

One of the "Originals" still going strong!
I own the "original" Power Plier by SOG Specialty Knives; (i.e. the tool is stamped patent pending for the power plier gear), and for years it has never failed me. I am an Executive Chef and my Power Plier is used on a daily basis for cutting down boxes from stock, scraping/cleaning equipment, tightening things, you name it and it gets used for it in the restaurant! It has proven itself a worthy piece of kitchen gear right along side my Cold Steel Vaquero Grande, (which is also an original and about to be replaced by a SOG X-Ray Vision XV71 that I just purchased from Amazon). I look forward to reviewing it as well! My SOG has yet to 'wear out' as mentioned in another review. Maybe they've worn their tool's actual metal down from extreme use; because mechanically, you can't wear down a Power Plier! You can purchase replacement tools for your Power Plier from SOG directly if you need to.

Great tool
I gave my husband this tool I believe 2 years ago for a Christmas present and he uses it so much on a daily basis that he's worn through the carrying case and he wore out the tool.It didn't wear out because of poor quality but because he uses it for absolutely everything, work and personal projects alike.He can't live w/o it. ...

Expensive and EXTREMELY unreliable.
It catches mosquitoes when it works.I have been unsuccessful to make it operate every spring for the last 3 years.The power pack had to be replaced at MY expense.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME & MONEY!!!!

Buyer's remorse
Arrrrgh!Just kicking myself for not Googling this item vs. other mosquito killers.I had no idea there were not only competitors, but competitors that work better and cost less to operate.The Mega catch premier appears to work better, cost less, cost less to operate, and, if the reviews are accurate, is more durable.Maybe this review is premature, but if you're looking, just make a note that there are other products out there.Notice that you can return the Mega catch, but not the Mosquito Magnet.

Two day catch: about twenty mosquitos.

mosquito magnet
Last father's day I purchased a mosquito magnet Defender from Amazon.com. I live on the Gulf coast of Texas and the mosquitoes are serious health and comfort problem in the spring, summer and fall. I had no luck with sprays, candle and I got ill using DEET. I read some reviews on the mosquito magnet, saved up my money and got a Defender. At the time we were living in a small condo and a Defender was all we needed.I was very impressed with the performance.The net was not full of mosquitoes on a daily basis but it did do the job!I had almost no mosquitoes on my porch or in my yard, as did my 2 neighbors. My pets and self were able to be outside without being miserable or being exposed to chemicals.
My spouse was a real skeptic about this machine but now is a stauch advocate.
We recently moved to a house with a larger yard,however it is not larger than 1/2 acre so we already have our mosquito magnet up and running.
The neighbor has asked us about it and is going to purchase one too.
I recommend the mosquito magnet to anyone interested in an alternative way to control mosquitoes. ... Read more

good and strong
The 26" box is very well made, has great locking latches and is big. It isn't so big that it isn't portable - but it is probably as big as you'd want to carry around with you. It has an internal tray to store your smaller stuff in and a nice comfortable carry handle.

The 36" box is HUGE and is NOT PORTABLE!! This is a box you'd want if you're looking for sturdy, permanent tool storage in your workshop or the back of your pickup.

I wish they made these things in plain black, but that's probably just me :-)

I recommended these products - they're good.
Happy shopping.

One of Delta’s new ShopMaster line, this drill driver’s packing power with everyday affordability. The keyless chuck makes but changes quick and easy, and a 20-position adjustable clutch lets you match torque with the job at hand, each specific application, and avoid screw stripping. An ergonomically designed rubber grip absorbs shock and feels great in hand, and screwdriver bit clips on each side of the tool are a nice touch, too. There’s a built-in bubble level for extra accuracy, though we found it a little hard to read. The extended run-time batteries charge up again in just an hour. The ShopMaster line is really intended for the do-it-yourselfer and hobby woodworker, and this model is perfect for both, as well as a great back-up tool for the contractor. Those with smaller hands will like this drill because the grip isn’t too big and, most of all, the batteries are easy-on, easy-off.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Decent drill for the price
This drill has a 1/2 inch chuck and about 300 inch pounds of torque. It weighs about 5 lbs. Although the torque to weight ratio is not the greatest compared to newer smaller battery models, this drill is about as good as you're going to get for the money. Deltas smaller shopmasters are too underpowered for bigger jobs. I would compare this one favorably to any of the Skills and it blows away most B&D's. Blows away all "cheapie" 18v's. I don't know if replacing batteries will be easy nor do I know how long they will last. This drill seems powerful enough to tackle most household/home improvement work.

Doesn't do the job
I bought one of these units in 2003 at Home Depot (...), to have some sort of protection against mosquitos by the pool while the power pack on my Mosquito Magnet PRO was being "exchanged" (...) at American Biophysics -- what a fraud that was. Anyway, although the Liberty ignites (you have to plug in a transformer) the suction in the bell is too weak to catch any mosquitos. The proof is in the net. In a month it might catch 4-5 mosquitos, and my back yard, backing onto a wooded area, is swarming with insects. All in all, I think the manufacturer is selling smoke. Expensive smoke. I don't understand why serious companies don't develop products for this market.

Poor quality, poor support, expensive to run
My unit would not start after it's 5th tank of propane, 15 months after purchase - and only 6 months of running time - and 3 months after warranty expired.
Contacted technical support, but none of their recommendations worked. Only service option is a $500 power pack replacement, with a 6 month warranty. I would not spend another dollar on this piece of junk. It catches mosquitoes, but certainly will not cover the claimed area. It probably cost me $10 for every mosquito I killed. Definitey NOT recommended. Do NOT Buy.

Bad Quality product, 2 year life or less, good when works
I now own three American Biophysics Mosquito Magnets.The oldest one I have is two years old and cost me about $900 to purchase.The two year old unit no longer works, so AB technical support wants to sell me a replacement part for $500 or you can buy a new unit, after returning the Power pack, for $425.What a racket.Build an expensive product that doesn't last more than 2 years and then charge a lot to fix or agree to buy another unit that also has shoddy quality.I agree it catches the mosquitos that they claim when it operates properly.But because of the cost of the units and their limited life I would not recommend this product unless you have a lot of money to burn. ...

This is a sweet multitool, the only disadvantage of which is it needs regular lubrication for the one-handed opening to work really easily. It would also be nice to have a ruler engraved on the side like other models.

The selection of blades is decent; as another reviewer noted, the scissors turn out to be really helpful. I also like the wire-snips for cutting small cable-ties and those annoying plastic tags that retailers put into sweaters.

A quality product with no great drawbacks.

Worthy alternative to the Leatherman Wave
I've had this tool for over a year. The blade holds its edge well and is half serrated, giving it extra cutting power for rope and other tough-to-cut items. The pliers are literally available at the flick of a wrist: they pop-out instantly with a little skill. If you want to use the pliers often or need a top-quality knife, this is a better choice than the Wave. However, the Wave's blade is easier to access so that is the way to go if you expect to do more cutting than pliering.

Little Wizard!
Just got one of these for Christmas.It gets 5 stars for now because: You really can access the pliers with a flick of the wrist, you've just got to keep it oiled which you should do anyway.It is very lightweight, going unnoticed on the belt.Phillips head is the closest I've seen to a #2 in a multi-tool.It may not be a true #2 but others I've seen/used are clearly #1's.I don't know if giver purchased it from Amazon, I hope so. ...

Editorial Review

 Why waste time filling up a watering can to water your houseplants when you can easily bring water straight from the faucet? A few quick twists onto a nearby interior faucet and the watering can begin. The 50-foot-long SpringJet is a coiled 1/4-inch hose made of extremely flexible, lightweight material. Merely attach the SpringJet to a water source with the included faucet-to-sink adapter, trek to your preferred garden or planting area, and water away with the 20-inch watering wand. The wand includes an adjustable nozzle (from fine mist to stream) and brass swivel fittings that ensure long life. The coiled hose will not kink or tangle, and the wand is long enough to reach hanging baskets and window flower boxes with little effort. The SpringJet is perfect for home, garden, and greenhouse watering--especially those chores for which a single watering can isn't nearly enough. --Rivers Janssen ... Read more

Good service.
The first item i got was defective. However, people at plastair were very kind and sent me a replacement that works fine!

endedup needingadaptorsto get this working
Ok, I live in a very very small condo. I have a end / ground floor unit so I have quite a bit of planting space and a fairlylarge patio. Formonths I hadbeen lugging pails of water back and forth.
Not having access to an outdoor spigot I needed a hose thatcould attach to a indoor sink and I wanted it to stow away in a small space.
I ordered this hose set up from amazon. It came in a very wornboxwith no packing or instrucions. As a anotherreviewer stated this hose may NOT work out of the box with somefaucets. That was my problem ... I had to purchase an adaptor ($$$) to get a threadedfaucet end. Sadly,I had to purchase yet another adpater($$$) to get theright combo of female/male (?) end...and finally I have a working hose. Thats works just ok and does not have great water pressurenor reaches 50 feet.Another problemthe "wand"with usekeepspoppingoff. Youcan fix thisby turning off thewater and then reattachingit and thentighting it... a lot ofworkwith thishose .Aftertwoweeks of dailyuse it alsohasdevloped asmallleakat the wandtohosepart .I also have amess of adapters on myfaucet (UGGH!)My advicecheck out local stores and check your faucet BEFORE orderingthis item!

Cuts down watering time dramatically!
I love this tool for easy plant watering.It's lightweight and the 50' length can reach all of my potted plants on the main floor of my house, the front porch, and back deck without changing faucets.No more filling pitchers over and over and walking back and forth dripping on the floor.As is typical, it leaks slightly at the faucet attachment, but that drains into the sink so there is no mess.Also, the plastic coupler is sometimes difficult to unscrew from the faucet when finished. ...
