We're also big into the night vision world, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Team Wendy ComTac headset adapters worked with these muffs almost PERFECTLY (see photos I've attached to this review). They Howard Leights -- in our extensive experience -- are: MORE durable, MORE comfortable, have MUCH better battery installation, LOOK better, FEEL like they're higher quality, PERFORM better, and now that we've discovered they can use the Peltor helmet mount adapters, there is simply NO reason to ever get another set of the cheap Peltors."

"In comparison, the Leviton switch was 20 degrees warmer which is warm enough to notice. It works great, but isn't as intuitive as the Leviton switch which allows you to use the upper/lower section to turn it on/off. I found the power to be about 0.5 W when the switch is off or 1.62 W when the switch is on. This was 3 times less power when the switch was off when compared to the Leviton switch (1.86W whether on or off)."

I called Porter-Cable for help and got some lady that didn't appear to even understand the issue, so she told me to just return it to Amazon, and that was what I planned to do. But not believing it was the compressor, I finally found on the internet, doityourself.com, where others have been having this problem since 2006. The problem is with the cheap Chinese air chuck that is shipped with the Accessory Kit that comes with the compressor."
"After reading TONS of reviews on various air compressors, I knew I'd buy the Porter-Cable version. But I do enjoy home improvement projects and want to buy the best tools I can afford and take good care of them. EXCEPT THAT THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT CAME WITH MY MODEL C2002 (Type 5 - I found this in very fine print on the labels on the back of the tank) SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT "BREAKING-IN." So I did what some reviewers did and looked for an online manual which can be found at this link: [...]. Bottom line is that breaking-in your compressor is MANDADORY, but it's also a cinch. Here's the exact wording from the online Porter-Cable manual: Break-in Procedure. Risk of Unsafe Operation. (Refer to Voltage. and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.). MY NOTE: this is sort of counter-intuitive as you want the valve to screw UP. toward the tank - giving the appearance of being closed when it's actually open. Bottom line: open the drain valve to prevent pressure from building up."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Although, this was not a ‘life or death’ situation, humidifiers are a necessary appliance and used four seasons a year where we live in the Southwest desert area. The forced hot air that heats our home causes dry itchy skin, and furthermore it gives me headaches and it contributes to my husband occasional nosebleeds. In addition, since we were replacing the humidifier in the bedroom, I needed a silent one and without any lights that would disturb my sleep. Sweep a finger right over the sensor touch ‘power’ button on the front of the unit, and a small blue half circle and bar will light that looks similar to this symbol (‘ and this turns the power on to the lowest setting (indicated by a small yellow LED pinpoint light). This humidifier holds up to 5 liters of water, which is the equivalent of 1 gallon and 1 extra quart in American measurements. Since I need the humidity on a 24-hour basis, I now leave it at low, to maintain, and although it lasts longer than a day, I refill the water tank around the same time every evening. I have not experienced any condensation, therefore the area, the furniture, and all around the location of this humidifier remains completely dry. However, my favorite reason is that it is silent, and there are NO lights to glow or flash that would disturb my sleep at night."
"After accepting my climate altering limitations I bought a vaporizer that quit working the first time I turned it on followed by two humidifiers I was just as disappointed with. This review includes a photo taken while in operation so you can form your own opinion and I can quit typing. (The following is actually the number two entry currently displayed in the Safety Precautions section on page six)... Don't touch the transduction while working otherwise you will have the feel of pain."
"Assembly took seconds and required no tools or even peeks at the owner's manual, except to make sure I had installed the included filter with the proper side up. Speaking of the owner's manual, it's clearly been translated into English from what I'd guess was originally Mandarin, but was still easy to understand. The stainless-colored plastic trim pieces are a nice touch, and give this humidifier a modern, minimalist, upscale vibe. I pressed the POWER button again to set the unit to "HIGH" and the amount of vapor practically doubled. So it ran for about 19 hours on a single tank before automatically shutting itself off and turning on the "droplet with a line through it" light to indicate it was out of water."

I asked my father in-law who had the Nest 2nd Generation for information and he had nothing negative to say about it so I was sold. Test your wires one more time prior to uninstalling to make sure no power is running (avoid being shocked or damaging anything). If you have children you can lock it so that a child touching it can not change or disrupt your temperature or any of your settings. Nest will remind you when you should change your air filters on your furnace because it can base it upon how many times it turns on and off. Significant drop in energy consumption can be seen on my gas bill after month 1."
"The nest was not calling for heat and temperature was dropping fast. I called the nest techs which were polite and helpful. They said my nest was wired for a heat pump which I do not have. The nest was properly wired, but when wiring was check via the wi if it said it was erroneously wired for a heat pump."
"** EDIT: I am happy to report that the Nest Thermostat now has a number of options for the Farsight feature, including to display the current room temperature, which I wanted, and to display the weather outside (downloaded from the internet), which is very cool indeed! To charge its batteries, the Nest needs a C (common) wire hooked up; otherwise it tries to charge itself whenever the heating or cooling system is running -- the only time current is passing through it. If I turn the heating system on and set the thermostat to something low, like 60 degrees, so the heat won't ever turn on, the Nest displays "60" rather than the actual temperature in the room. Why should I have to wall-mount a thermometer next to the Nest to replicate its thermometer, just because the Nest programmers won't offer the option to show the current temperature?"

Find Best Price at Amazon"I guess it's because after reading all the other reviews prior to buying, I'm somewhat conflicted since mostly, people either seem to love or hate this drill and I'd like to get my two cents worth in. After reading about a bazillion reviews (small exaggeration) I didn't know what to think and, I thought perhaps I could help my fellow Amazonians (is that a word?). While I am not an expert, I do build and sell hardwood furniture and am familiar with most of the tools that you would find in a working woodshop. Since Amazon has return priviliges I figured I could examine the product thoroughly upon receipt and decide for myself if it was a good buy. With its bright colors and swirly lines it looks like something Roger Rabbit would use (or, if you're in my generation; Bullwinkle). If you hear a clicking sound when tightening the chuck around a bit, then you need to adjust the ring so the screw icon is on top. Frequently, when hand-tightening the chuck, it will escape your grip (after all, we're not as strong as gorillas) and spin, burning your hand. With gloves protecting your hands, if it slips, you don't get burned and you're capable of tightening your grip and getting maximum holding power between the chuck/bit. Upon unboxing this drill at a friends house his wife thought it looked "cute" and felt it would be a good addition to their kit (they frequently go to numerous flea markets throughout Texas and carry basic tools with them). Also, even though I was wearing leather gloves, I could feel a lot of heat at the barrel (after all, these tests were done with no interruptions) and it was apparent to me that to continue, I would probably smoke the motor, which made no sense to me. Especially using a large diameter bit like the 1 3/8" comes very close to the definition of abusing your tools so, if you can avoid it, I suggest not subjecting your drill to loads such as this.. I also think that because of it's reduced weight it would be an ideal drill for a woman and I think the manufacturers did a good job of "splitting the difference" in designing a grip that is both large enough for a big man (though just barely) and small enough to be comfortable for the average woman. Caveat: As I told you earlier, one of the reasons I got this drill was because of all the contradictory reviews (it piqued my curiousity)."
"I've only used the drill setting and 10, the highest. Anything less seems to spin before the screw is flush, but perhaps that's because I'm driving 2-1/2" and 4" screws, and the lower settings may be appropriate for smaller screws."
"It has all the features of the more expensive brands I was looking at in the $100 price range such as the entry level Makita and Bosch cordless drills but at half the price. PROS: Good value at this price point and compatibility of the battery with a good selection of other affordable, readily available B&D products such as their string trimmer, hedge clippers, leaf blower, etc. This a great, small and powerful drill at the end of the day as long as your livelihood doesn't depend on it."
"A decent, powerful (for cordless) drill, handy for most household projects."
"It's super easy to use (please read the instructions), light and small enough for my hands."

Few minutes later I could not shake that something was off, so I reviewed the entire video footage - Ring captures motion so I was able to see what he did prior to ringing the doorbell. This guy was wearing a hoodie so he covered his hands, looked through my front door window for a good 5+ seconds, then started to check the door to see if perhaps it was open, before deciding to ring the doorbell... all with his hands covered. I shared my Ring video with them and they said it was the cleanest video they had seen in some time. I've had the ring doorbell since September 2016 and this was the first and only time something odd/suspicious was captured and, to say the least, it works!!! Ring initially was recording very poorly and sometimes would not capture video properly if at all. My Ring doorbell went offline and it took me who knows how long to realize it."

"But they fixed my complaint, and got the lanterns to me in time for Irma."
"so I came to Amazon as my normal thing to do is to check out my "favorite store" and I found these."
"For some reason, I didn’t open the base and sent an email informing Etekcity of the missing batteries including that, based on the reviews I had read, “I anticipated a timely and satisfactory response.”. Literally within three hours, I received an apologetic email about the “missing batteries”: “We just want to verify one last thing before we proceed. The batteries should be located inside the lantern where you can then proceed to remove the plastic battery film."
"But about 30 minutes later -- after not having touched them -- one of the lanterns wouldn't light. At points there is no continuity on the tracks (presumably due to failed etching) and jumpers were soldered on at the factory as replacement paths. - The problem with the failed lantern was in the contact switch that gets depressed when the lantern is closed. However, these last two points are generally true, as they're inherent to the design: - The top part of the lanterns slides up and down smoothly, and with a comfortable amount of friction. There was already wear on those O-rings on the lantern that I inspected, even though it was pretty much brand new. - But perhaps worst of all is that these are sold as "outdoor" "camping" lanterns. However, the fact that these are sold as "outdoor" is in my opinion worthy of a one-star review. "Outdoor" implies at least some level of water resistance; As far as I can see that would be the only factor differentiating an LED lantern between indoor and outdoor use."
"Bought these for a combination of emergency preparedness/casual lighting for my patio in Big Bear. Started using them with the supplied batteries and notices some strange things. Left them on for about an hour while periodically going out to relax and wait for friends to come over. 4 of these should not dim by roughly 80% in an hour on Energizer Lithium Ion batteries."

"and my husband installed it, I stood in the hall and informed him that I would still be using toilet paper thank you very much. It also has been helpful to those of us who have hemorrhoids (THANKS CHILDBIRTH) because it is a bit gentle and less abrasive than toilet paper tends to be. We haven't bought toilet paper since we bought it (March, so, 4 months) and I haven't missed it a bit. As for the bidet itself, it is easy peasy to install (according to my husband; I wouldn't know because I was having a toilet paper protest in the hall at the time of its installation) and simple to clean for the most part...the back (where it attaches to the toilet) is a bit more difficult to clean than your average, sad, greatly lacking, bidet-less toilet, but nothing major at all. with the bidet installed, we discovered (after the recommended 'bumper kits' kept shifting and falling off, that PLASTIC DOMED DOOR STOPPERS work AMAZING for propping the seat up."
"Installation was relatively quick and easy (despite almost taking off the turn-off valve before turning off the house water supply). Ended up having to replace our solid metal water-valve connector with a $6 braided one from the local hardware store.

"The red box you see is exactly how it comes packaged in and it’s made perfectly ready to be sent as a gift for someone. Inside the big red box were nice fluffy seals for ensuring the lamp doesn’t get damaged. Even the way it was carved was pretty cool because there wasn’t a lot of artistic cutting done to make it look skinny, they just slapped on a big block of Himalayan salt. Not sure why it exactly is that way but these kinds of indications make it a positive sign that the lamp was truly taken out of its raw and natural environment. On top of everything else, you get two free dimmable incandescent light bulbs in pretty red boxes. The wooden base is also nice and overall the whole image of the lamp is just great and suits your household environment. Make sure you put it somewhere where there’s a lot of people or besides your bed so that you can breathe fresh air and be relaxed. What EMF is that it gets released from our electronic devices to function like phones, smartphones, laptops, WiFi routers, microwaves, fridges, cell phone towers, TVs, and even non-incandescent light bulbs as well as basically every electric device we own. If you are suffering from some sources of any disease, lamps like these genuinely help people recover. It may not be for your condition specifically but buying nature’s own produced medicine to cure yourself is the most effective ever and it’s good for your body too! I keep this lamp by my bedside every day now and it helps me sleep better while serving as a cool night light that makes your room a relaxing orange glow. I sleep with this and my charcoal bags which help clean the air of pollutants, toxins, and allergens and dust and my EMF protection devices. I’ve also emailed the customer service department and they seem like nice caring staff."

The springy exterior of the mask keeps the straps from pulling out, keeps the valve where it needs to be and holds the mask shape. The compliant, soft surface of the interior is perhaps the most important feature of the design both in terms of the fit and in preventing from dust from working its way around the side of the mask into your nose and mouth.

Find Best Price at Amazon"There is a reason these Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs are probably the most popular model of their type on the market -- they're dirt cheap and work very well. We're also big into the night vision world, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Team Wendy ComTac headset adapters worked with these muffs almost PERFECTLY (see photos I've attached to this review). They Howard Leights -- in our extensive experience -- are: MORE durable, MORE comfortable, have MUCH better battery installation, LOOK better, FEEL like they're higher quality, PERFORM better, and now that we've discovered they can use the Peltor helmet mount adapters, there is simply NO reason to ever get another set of the cheap Peltors."

"I love my shelf."
"Gently lower the shelf down over the wedge clips, and then push down on each shelf corner while simultaneously pushing up on the wedge clips to make sure they don't slip down on the pole. A bit of squeezing together and the shelf corner rings are making good contact with the clips, keeping them together and prevent them from slipping out of the groove on the pole."
"Perhaps Amazon changed the design or something else is going on, but I had zero issues putting the shelf together (aside from determining how much space in between shelves I wanted). Like I said, the hardest thing about installation is determining where you want each shelf. These bottles weigh a ton and the entire reason I purchased this shelving system is because the MDF shelving I had was sagging under the weight of the bottles. The shelf liner will close the gap and prevent things from tipping over and falling."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I was doing a bathroom remodel for a small powder room and started looking at wall-hung toilets because I wanted as much free floor space as possible. I'd seen this specific tank recommended by Amazon with the Toto toilet I was looking at, and at first I was worried about compatibility issues. Since I was in a hurry to install and I didn't have this kit, I just made-do by cutting some packing foam sheets and stuffing that behind the toilet for acoustic insulation. If you are looking at these types of toilets you know that they are expensive systems, but within that price range this brand seems to be the best value of the bunch."
"That was only possible thanks to the Geberit system, saving precious inches that a tank normally takes up."
"Great packaging, have not installed yet but all parts arrived in tact with good instructions."
"great- easy to install - works well."
"About 1 flush out of 3 does not reset the pins and toilet runs continuously so water supply has to be shut off."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I've always been tempted to order a Ring, but if you're like me, you've read the reviews and the many horror stories about how bad the product is. I then disassembled my old doorbell and installed the two existing wires to the back of the Ring 2 circuit board. Although the video stated that it did not matter which wire attached to either screw on the back of the circuit board, in my case it did. I then mounted the Ring 2 to my door frame with the 4 provided screws, and made sure everything was level. Once mounted, I adjusted the motion sensor zones and live view settings via the Ring app on my iPhone. I got the notification instantly, connected via the Ring app, and was able to talk and hear her perfectly."
"Before I got the Chime Pro, the signal strength on my Ring Wi-Fi was "Poor" to "Good"."
"after I have installed the new product from Ring, the Ring Door Chime Pro, which is also a Wi-Fi extender, the time lag has been reduced to less than 1 second."
"That being said, every time there is motion on the porch I get a notification wherever I am and can access the video and audio. 30 bucks a year for the basic service is doable for me, and as much Amazon as I do, could pay for itself. I agree with another review that the packaging is super and everything you need is there, though I found a cordless drill helpful."
"I've had the Ring Doorbell 2 and ChimePro for two weeks, and all continue to perform as expected."
"My ring devices are the only things in the household getting horrible wifi, all other devices seem to be working just fine with high speeds and little interference."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Dremel will most likely NEVER make a rotary tool that is high speed high torque, high amp, because that's not their niche. For Dremel's, you let speed do the work. If I were to recommend any 2 accessories/attachments, I would get the detailer's grip, and the almighty keyless chuck."
"The product description lists the accessory numbers, but not what they are."
"However, when I took it apart a little I found that the collet had just been jammed tightly into the collet nut, closing down its diameter so that the shanks wouldn't fit. I unscrewed the collet nut from the Dremel and used a small screwdriver to push the collet out of the back end of the collet nut. If you do actually need a different collet size for other mandrels/shanks not sold with this kit, Dremel sells a 4485 Collet Nut Kit (about $6-$7 in 2015 at hardware stores) that has the four collet sizes listed above."
"I've had 2 rechargeable Dremel tools in the past and they did not hold up well so I decided to go with corded, it is nice and though I have only used it 2-3 times since purchase, I think this one will last and at least I can replace brushes if needed."
"Fit and feel is nicer, but still pretty much all plastic."
"Just barely a good tool, if I didn’t have the flex shaft attachment I wouldn’t use it."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Although I would have preferred a full sized router table with a cabinet, my limited space made it impossible. I buy with value in mind employing a computation of price, quality, quantity, reputation and life cycle. The numbers (including a great sale price from Amazon) landed me on the RA1181 with trepidation after reading many reviews and not being able to get my eyes and hands on one. As a mechanic/technician, I'm fairly picky about machine tolerances so, I was a bit put-off by some of the reviews I've seen complaining about warped tops. Wood, depending on how dense the species is, will expand and contract over time, humidity and temperature at least as much if not more than 0.004. Speaking of 'nice touch', there is an outlet to support your shop vac or whatever you're using as a dust extraction system, a real time saver. I square up a piece of scrap and tack a guide on the end so it follows the edge of the table top. I wish the carriage bolts in the feather boards were a little beefier but, that's only a little annoying in initial set up of a project. It's sort of adequately supported on one side only and feels cheesy as it deflects when operating the switch. Summary: Other than those couple of nit-picks, I'm pleasantly surprised by the convenience and functionality of this tool and would recommended it to the small-shop woodworker without much reservation."
"This table rocks - has a nice heavy cast aluminum table and fence."
"But, if I was a serious woodworker I wouldn't be storing it on my 4 wheeler."
"I've used it quite a bit so far and don't have any complaints; it is very sturdy when clamped to a workbench, the safety features are good, and it's relatively light (even with the router installed) so moving it in and out of the garage isn't hard and can be done with one person."
"If you have a small shop like mine but want a solid router table, then the Bosch is for you. Router install easily and table levels within minutes."
"I'm a amature DIY'er and wanted to replace a router table that i lost in a fire..i originally bought the Grizzly T10432 table but when i received the phenol plate was shattered and returned it and bought this one...much better..has sturdy cast metal table and insert plate...everything was flat and easy to set up and level the insert plate...pre drilled for my Porter Cable 690 router...works great for my needs mounted on a locking wheeled rolling cabinet and i can use the table and plate later when i build a permanent base for it... the stand could be mounted on a piece of flat stock for for jobsite use.. very happy with it...would recommend for anyone that does not need for everyday use."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The first delivery was badly mishandled by the freight company, CEVA Logistics, and eventually returned when they damaged it before delivery. When we called the next business day (CEVA has no voice mail) to try for another delivery, we were told the toilet had been damaged and they would arrange for it to be returned. However, it took about a month from the time the first delivery didn't arrive until we finally had the toilet. Lesson learned: Don't remove your old toilet until you actually have the new toilet and you're sure it's in good shape."
"I replaced one of the builder toilets with a pressure-assisted model and was sorely disappointed with it."
"I'm the kind of guy that looked for a fast food restaurant for my relief because I could depend on a commercial grade toilet(I know, you already know more that you wanted)."
"It was the toilet highest rated by Consumer Reports at the time I checked before purchasing, although now, only 6 weeks later, CR rates another toilet (that only has a 2⅛" trapway) higher and the (now second rated) toilet, also American Standard, uses 1.28 GPF. As I said, this toilet does clog from time to time, but is easier to clear than our "pre-low flow" toilet it replaced, using the Korky 99-4A Max Performance Plunger (which adapts well to the non-round shape of the bowl exit) or a Johnny Jolter Professional Power Plunger, sometimes both in that order, that I purchased from Amazon."
