"If you are expecting this to be an amazing knock-it-out-of-the-park compass at this price, think again."
"You just need to make sure the dial is free floating before relying on the reading. A tap with your finger may help to free up the dial 2) and less importantly, the fabric cover that comes with the compass is worthless."
"This is great for beginners (like me) but this isn't something you want if you really know how to use a lensatic compass."
"Let me start off by saying that this compass is big and heavy. For some reason it has that thumb ring or whatever it is that other reviewers have noted that prevent it from sitting flatly on a surface."
"It is not leveled properly, it doesn't flat either because of the finger ring."
"Do a web search on compass balancing, (NOT the same as declination) Suunto has a great explanation on their site."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Thus I must put out a fraud alert on the YHYH cheap imitation I also bought on amazon as it barely works: the leveling bubble is larger not smaller than the guide circle and does not work, and the two horizontal lines on the face are way off center so much that the center is not even between the lines that supposed to be equidistant from the center on each side. The U-Easy compass sold out and there was not free Prime delivery so I assumed that the U-Easy compass was sold and shipped in america as well because nothing listed it coming from Hong Kong where it was supposed to due amazon listing error is uncorrected still. I bought the compass to directionally fine tune my new tv antenna for the NFL playoffs so two months on a compass shipping was too long as the Super Bowl would be long over before the YHYH compass arrived two months later."

"I position the dolly right under the seat area, strap it down with two 3' bungee cords, and pull it to the shoreline. Have not used the included strap."
"I read others comments about the smell before I purchased and figured I'd risk it given the price. Good product but can't rate it higher than three with that smell."
"Lube is a good idea, washing out the inside of the bearing is also a good idea, but I still feel this cart is slightly less than ideal for use on any beach, salt water beaches especially (large dunes of soft sand are more likely to get sand in between the rims."
"So, in all, it seems like it could work ok for what I needed but arriving with a flat tire that won't inflate is just a huge pain and makes me more hesitant to buy things online when they are really needed."
"Only shortcoming in my opinion is the size - the large wheels make it very easy to push over grass and rocks, but very tough to stow in the kayak (for trips that are one-way or out and back with no safe place to store them)."
"Mine arrived new in the box with a hole in one of the inner tubes. Over the next month however, we emailed back and forth several times- they had lost my address, the replacement was never shipped, and finally they claimed it had been shipped but it never arrived and no they could not provide me with a tracking number or any further information."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Although knitting with paracord presented me with its own unique challenges (if you need tips, let me know), I made the swing and it looks today exactly like it did 8 months ago! Dirt doesn't seem to stick to it and the steel cords I hung it with had to be replaced because they twisted and bent from use... but the swing is pefectly fine... just stretched about 20% in the middle from my kids and my 220 lb husband lounging in it on a regular basis! I also have to say that this seller is a very kind person, who really wants his customers to be happy and pleased with the purchase."
"I would rate this paracord as a 'full confidence' addition to my kit, meaning the paracord can be relied on to perform tasks within the parameters of its specifications."
"This was my feedback: "I have tested your 750 orange paracord, and just received the 25 feet of forest camo paracord that Adam sent. the inner strands are each three strand, instead of two strand, that some other manufacturers use."
"The Tough-Grid cord is very easy to work with knots because it is just slightly bigger than the Type III 550lb. If you do cut it, “burn” the ends immediately because the outer sheath will fray much faster than the Type III sheath (7 strands) since there are 11 strands tightly packed inside the Type IV Tough-Grid outer sheath. Don't burn the cord. Get the end of the cord burning, wrap the paper towel around it and run it down to and off the burnt end."
