WORTH THE MONEY Toro 51599 Ultra 12 amp Variable-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum with Metal Impeller I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT RECENTLY AND I LOVE IT!!!!! I DIDN'T GIVE IT 5 STARS BECAUSE THE ONE PIECE ON THE BLOWER PART WAS CRACKED BUT I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. THE ONLY THING I FOUND THAT DID NOT OPERATE RIGHT IS WHEN I USED THE VAC IT KEPT LOSING POWER AND I BELIEVE IT IS FROM THE VIBRATION FROM THE SPEED. I DID TRY ALL THE SPEEDS AND IT DID THE SAME THING. OTHER THAN THAT I THINK IT IS A GOOD ITEM.

So far, I've had really good life from the original spool in the trimmer, so haven't even needed to go into the spares yet. If the replacements work as well as what came in the trimmer (and it should be the same stuff right?) I don't know if I'll ever have to buy more of these!

A new neighbor whose younger daughters play in the front yard on the grass found that they were using a section as a "potty area". Cat repellents (spray or other)worked for only a week at $10.00+ a week....in looking at the reviews on this I thought this was worth a try. After purchasing the Scarecrow and a hose for the neighbor - 2 weeks later he has said that they have found no cat "poop" issues on the front lawn! Hooray for the scarecrow...it works!

I believe these are the best Earmuffs for power-tools for under $100. They are quite comfortable, durable, and seem like an excellent value. I am able to wear them for long periods of time (an hour) without discomfort. I highly recommend the Peltor H10A.

Xantrex Technologies 851-0178 XPower 175-Watt Micro Inverter I bought this product for a 2,137 mile road trip. It powered my iPod dock (since the car's ancient stereo doesn't really work). The thing is sort of big and ugly, but here's the bottom line--it worked without any trouble. It didn't even get warm. If I had it to do over, I would definitely buy this gadget again.

My yard is 20,000 sq. ft., I trim and edge everything on one battery with power to spare. I have owned a number of gas trimmer and end up never using them because they are heavy and you get covered in grass. This trimmer goes through everything and I stay nice and clean. I do not know how B&D did it, but this is the best trimmer I have ever had. The only thing I would add is a wheel for when you use it for edging.

Finally the kids can put their bikes away and not have them laying on the garage floor or stacked up against something else. The price point was great and it is holding up well so far. We have been using it for about 3 months.

the greatest thing i like about the wave is that ALL the tools firmly lock into place and unlock safely, and i feel that with the leatherman i can get rough with it and it will have no problems what so ever, i would strongly reccomend buying this over a victornox anyday!!! oh btw for [...] bucks you cant go wrong!

That's what I did with this part. My experience with Black and Decker has been that they make decent items, but are always changing, shapes/specs/colors of the equipment to increase sales. As a result, you can have a perfectly good piece of equipment, but can't use it, because one little piece is no longer available after a few years when the model has been "updated". For example, I bought one of their cordless mowers more than 10 years ago and got an extra blade at the time. Good thing I did that, as B&D no longer supplies replacement blades for this mower. Ditto, for the grass catcher for this mower, which they no longer have parts for ...they'd rather sell you one of their new and improved models for hundreds of dollars than sell you a $15 grass catcher.

I have 2 in my box, when 1 stops I put it on a charger an use the other. In 6 years the 1st 2 died (from my carelessness) and I will continue using them until I can't find them anymore. 1 - 283 |
