"Although only used on occasion, after two months the white netting has started to fray from the blue fabric around the loop; that is, not that durable."
"During it's first use, My 7-yr-old broke a thin metal connecting piece between the hoop and the stem by slamming it down hard."
"Really really great bargin well worth the price and built pretty strong and collapses down very nicely making it discrete to carry."
"This is the second net I have purchased like this."
"We like to use it to catch carpenter bees near our house."
"I’ve bought 3 so far, some for friends."

"Very powerful magnets, just right for my craft project (gluing them to the back of wooden Scrabble tiles for a kitchen magnetic board)."
"Seems like a strong magnet to me."
"Faced with issue of washing the other 90+ magnets I found that spacing them onto a cookie tray, scrubbing them, letting them dry, then flipping to other side works great."
"The magnets I made with flat back buttons had a life of their own, jumping all over the place - stacking and sticking to each other- even through a tray."
"These were exactly what I was looking for- I bought these for kids toys, and wanted something strong enough to stick together with enough 'push' to demonstrate the magic of magnetism, but no so strong that they could pinch or hurt a small finger."
"Great for the fridge and using in decor projects where they will be on solid contact with metal or themselves."
Best Science Fossils
DIG UP REAL DINOSAUR FOSSILS that are millions of years old!
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"First to give a few key facts on dimensions... - The box itself is a bit smaller than an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of standard size paper. Generally, the fossils are really hard so don't be shy about cutting away with the knife right away. To get to the fossils, you need to break this mold into hundreds, or even thousands of pieces. If your mold doesn't end up looking like the picture showing my meal tray, you need to keep breaking away. Using a small mallet or hammer - gently - is not a bad idea. Look carefully, as you may accidentally throw away a 90 million year old artifact! It's also super dusty so I would recommend a place indoors that you can easily sweep up, OR, do it outside. Ideally priced at $20, but still a good product at the 25-28 dollar range, too."
"Great product!!!"
"These were great."
"He actually set aside all of the shiny plastic toys he got for Christmas and focused on this for several hours (which is unheard of!"
"Great gift of discovery for our 9 year old grandson."
"All of the fossils were beautiful and the book was so helpful with identifying each fossil."

"I am 48 years old and have used old style thermometers my entire life. I was hesitant to give digital thermometers a chance knowing this is still new technology but what made the decision to purchase one easier was seeing my baby’s pediatrician use one of these thermometers. I can’t even remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep and no matter how much you love your child (and Lord knows I love mine), the sound of a crying baby can be haunting. But after speaking with their customer engagement specialists I decided to give it a chance. I experienced a weird jump of 0.5 degrees but after some quick google research I realize this is not only normal but common among all digital thermometers. The instruction manual is very well written and easy to follow; however it is technical as heck so unless you are well informed, all the stats provided in the manual can be a bit overwhelming."
"I found that the positioning of the thermometer inside the ear is critical."
"Love the dual mode."
"Takes temp instantly and actually reads my base temp in the 98.5 range rather than 96 or 97 like other thermometers I’ve owned."
"Used on my son who had 103 Via rectal thermometer and this one showed 100."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was able to receive these at a discounted price for review (not free, I did pay for them and they were worth every penny). I'm posting pictures of some of the rocks we cracked open so you can have an idea of what you'll get with this set, but keep in mind that you could get different crystals-maybe even amethyst if you're lucky! I rely strongly on reviews when making purchasing decisions, so I try my hardest to provide honest, solid, and detailed feedback to help others with making their own decisions.I hope that this review was helpful for you."
"I wasn't expecting a hand-picked assortment, but when over half of them are the same rock despite the varieties that exist, it seems a bit odd. But even still, the quality and overall easy-opening of these geodes compared to the other brands I've bought will keep me coming back for more every time I decide to start a new craft project."
"I guess we got lucky and all of the rocks were actual geodes... no duds."
"These geodes are natural, not a manufactured product (and not cement as another reviewer claimed), so expect some variation. I am only giving four stars instead of five because unless you have a portable vice (or are willing to pound geodes in your workshop), one person does have to hold the geode (and chisel) in place while the other person swings the hammer."
"It is literally a bag full of rocks we have to break open, which is cool but I need to buy her a rock hammer so we can properly break them open."
"She opened the box and started reading the booklet that comes inside."
"I gave this kit to my great grandson for Christmas and watched as he and his dad fulfilled MY lifelong dream of cracking open geodes and finding their hidden treasures inside."

"Just to note the 12X telephoto is not a Zoom lens."
"Also a definition from Amazon of what my 5 star represents: ★★★★★ = I love it (The product I received is practically perfect! I love love love it!"
"If you worry about this, maybe you should try some expensive lens: 1. the telescope lens has relatively strong chromatic aberration (first figure), and the minimal focus distance is still long, around 1 meter or more."
"I wanted a good macro lens for my iPhone for photos of my aquariums."
"Would give 5 star if you did not have to remove case, a pain for quick use. Highly recommend."
"Ordered this product to work with my Samsung S4 Galaxy phone and was very pleased upon receipt."
"When you attach the lens or focus, the clip moves."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This 5.5" "magnifying glass" is lightweight and provides a large, well-lit area of magnification that makes it excellent for reading.at home. I was a bit concerned that 2X would not be powerful enough, but combined with the size of the lens it allows the user to see a large field of vision, perfect for reading sentences in books and newspapers. This was a minor disappointment, but not a significant problem, and they are ideally placed for using the 1" 5X auxiliary lens to see small details clearly. We have another magnifier that automatically turns on when you hold the handle - a good idea, but it takes a bit of getting used to (you have to grip the handle a particular way) and the handle is a bit fat."
"I find that a lot of tasks can be performed with just my reading glasses but need an occasional bit of magnification to work with a small part or read some fine print."
"You supply 4 AAA batteries and if you're quibbling about not including batteries, think about the fact that you'll know you are putting in fresh batteries and not "included" ones that who knows how old they are."
"My only complaints are that the plastic door that opens to insert the batteries is very cheap, it has the tiniest little tab to click in and I'm sure if I open and close that thing 5 more times it will snap. But this little clicky tab thing for sure will break, it's less than 1mm in width and made of thin plastic. They should have made the entire bottom inch of the magnifier in 3.5x zoom, similar to a bifocul."
"For reading this is a really nice size Magnifying glass."
"Their current placement is fine for reading, lights the page up perfectly, and consider the build problems if one tried to put them all around the glass - perhaps a lot of connections to go wrong."
