Cobra Products 00412BL Zip-It Drain Cleaning Tool

WOW!!! This Cobra Products 00412BL Zip-It Drain Cleaning Tool super low priced drain cleaning tool works incredibly well!!! My bathtub had been going down slower and slower. Plus, the drain was not holding the water in the tub completely. It's narrow, flexible, and simple to stick down a drain, and the little teeth grab all the hair as it comes up. I'm sure there are other tools that are better for serious clogs, but this was great for preventing small clogs from ever becoming big ones.

If you have a drain that doesn't drain that quickly, get one of these and it should make short work of the drain. Side note: The reverse-direction 'barbs' it has make removal from some drains a bit of a pain; and I wouldn't let small children play with this. With that being said, obviously the latter point shouldn't need to be said, but still, it can be pretty sharp.

I've been searching for another one. I have only finally found it here after searching through pages and pages of drain cleaning tools. This product is excellent, and truly a long-haired girl's best friend. I've never had luck with drain catchers in my tubs, but finally came across one that worked (link below). However, in order for it to do it's job, I needed a trusty product to unclog the shower drain. The ridged, flexible tool is easy to use and pulls every wad of hair out of your drain as far as it can reach.

BestAir 3BT-6 Original BT Humidifier Bacteriostatic Water Treatment

I use a cap full in each bottle of water in my bemis humidifer and BestAir 3BT-6 Original BT Humidifier Bacteriostatic Water Treatment really helps with build up and that musty smell of setting water. We bought a humidifier last winter (2013) and after two months the filter started to smell. This year (2012) I read the product reviews and purchased this stuff along with a new filter. It has been three months and our humidifier filters does not smell. 

Have used this product for the past 2 years and have always been very satisfied. The filters stay clean and there is no build up of calcium or other junk on the tank and never any odor as others have mentioned. I highly recommend this for your use in humidefiers.

Before buying this the filter it had a musty sort of smell even though I would rinse the filter and clean the humidifier weekly. With this product I do not have this smell. A rich, moist, and slightly warmer environment like that in a humidifier is pretty much a playground for microbes including fungi and bacteria. I would advise finding a 5 milliliter syringe and using that to put the treatment into your humidifier. The easiest method is just to translate that out to 5mL/gallon. Works beautifully.

Hakko CHP-170 Micro Clean Cutter, 16 Gauge Maximum Cutting Capacity

This Hakko CHP-170 Micro Clean Cutter is the best by far when it comes to cutting those tough to reach RDA coil leads. I have a Hakko 888 soldering station that I love and I decided to see if other Hakko-branded products meet the same standard. I find that these cutters do meet the standard. I have always wanted a pair of these...spring handle...flush cut...comfortable and substantial.

This is a very good pair of diagonal cutters. The blades are aligned, sharp, and true and I always get a good clean cut. I frequently use this on component leads, #18 awg solid and stranded as well as on #14 stranded copper-clad steel antenna wire with no problems.

They have a pretty wide range of cutting different gauges. So far I have really enjoyed being able to flush cut a solder joint and get the shrink to go on smoothly. Recently I got into 3D printing, and discovered that I needed a lot of different finishing tools for my projects. In the past I've used razor blades and X-Acto knives, each of which has its strong points, but I've discovered that I needed something that is both strong and precise for these tasks.

Emergency Mylar Blankets

Google it and you'll be amazed how many things you can do with these. These are a larger, more generous size than some of the competing brands. Big advantage.The Viskey Emergency Blanket are perfect to tuck in a stocking as a Christmas gift. My entire family now carries these in their cars in the event they break down and need to stay warm until help arrives. The price is right too.

Great to carry in our emergency kits and the car. We traveled when temps were in negative digits. Was nice to know we had these in case of an emergency situation. Easy to pack and durable.

The Emergency Viskey Mylar Blankets are proven designs. Perfect for keeping my outdoor pets cooler. Good emergency protection, and pretty versatile--blanket, ground cloth, windbreak, tarpaulin, sun shade, solar reflector, emergency signal, insulation wrapper, sleeping bag cover and also sleeping bag liner.

Nite Ize GT6-2PK-01 Gear Tie Reusable 6-Inch Rubber Twist Tie

A simple concept and a quality product with a multitude of uses! I purchased these with a few specific applications in mind, e.g. bundling and hiding electronic cords, and they have worked very well. I have purchased two more batches, each with several packets in different lengths, because I am finding so many more uses for them: at home, in the car, at motels/hotels, on hiking gear.

This is great for shortening up cords. I have two cell phones, one for work and a personal, and with as much as I'm on the phone while traveling, its great to shorten up the cords so when not in use, they aren't dangling on the floor boards of my truck.

Gear Tie Reusable Rubber Twist Ties from Nite Ize are perfect for temporarily wrapping up cords of appliances, computer equipment, or electronics (eg, headphones). The first time I saw a Nite Ize Gear Tie, I wondered why I hadn't thought of inventing that product myself. I use them for tying up cords for my iPod headphones, rice maker, steam iron, computer cables, and about 100 other annoying electric cords found around the house.

3M Indoor Window Insulator Kit, 5-Window

I've used this 3M Indoor Window Insulator Kit, 5-Window product for over 12 years. You need to clean the surface with an alcohol swab before applying the tape, letting it dry thoroughly first. Desperate to try and save a few bucks on my electric bill I thought I should at least give this product a try. I had no problem hanging the plastic. The double sided tape and plastic were very forgiving.

The difference really is in the tape. It has the right amount of sticking power. You won't have to continuous apply pressure for it to stick, which is what I have experienced with many other brands. Also, the plastic is stronger than many others. I love this product.

It works! I did have a smooth surface available around each window which does help the tape adhere, might be a consideration if you have heavily textured walls. Great product. Room feels warmer and my breezes are blocked. Clean the sill/casing with rubbing alcohol to remove oils/dirt. Cut the plastic film to the width you need. Apply tape. Stick on film. Blow dry out the wrinkles.

Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Light Lamp

This time I bought them from the BestDeal777 store and man is the "quality" night and day compared to the ones my brother bought. The BestDeal777 lights were far more superior then where ever my brother bought his. This Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Light Lamp is one of my two favorite lights ever. It's small, it uses a single AA NiMH battery, it's very focusable, and it pumps out more light than any other flashlight I've ever seen.

This is my light of choice whether at work of trying to read a menu. Using one AA cell (vice AAA) makes it cheap to use. I bought a bunch to give away because I know others will use it.

As far as I can tell, it's the brightest AA light available today. In fog or smoke, it's like having a light saber. I call mine The Eye of Sauron... at least, until I get a brighter light someday. The "telescoping" method used to focus the light beam is not at all effective in any way at keeping moisture out of the flashlight. Trust me on this, I accidentally dropped the flashlight in a puddle at night, before I lost it, and water flooded the LED compartment.

Eforcity shipped in 6 days; BestDeal777 shipped in 11 days. The BestDeal777 light has branding ("CREE" on one side, "HWA/WYS UltraFire" on the other), while the Eforcity light is blank. The Eforcity one is better for long-distance signalling, since a half-press simply turns the light off instead of changing modes. The first was a iTP A3 EOS 96 Lumen Flashlight which is keychain-sized and uses a single AAA battery.

Rachio IRO Smart Wifi Enabled Irrigation Controller 8 zones

Actually, I purchased two of the Rachio IRO Smart Wifi Enabled Irrigation Controller 8 zones. One for my house and one for my rental property.  You will not be disappointed! This is a great piece of hardware. I tend to be very picky about my technology and would recommend it to anyone of my friends or family.  It would be nice if they added an ethernet port, but understand that most people do not have an ethernet jack in the garage. The app is pretty intuitive and easy to understand.

I've had the Rachio IOR for about a month and so far so good. It was easy to install and I got it to quickly connect to my home network via Wifi.

I do not have a rain sensor hooked up to the unit (although you can install one). I have used my Rachio 8 zone for the entire summer. I took a picture of my old controller wiring and hooked the same colors to the indicated zone numbers on the Rachio and the zones were exactly the same. The logic for the controller significantly reduced the watering times I had been using for years. Everything looked great all summer long and my water bills were significantly less than in previous years. I believe the feature to set slope, sun exposure, soil type, plant type, etc. was beneficial to these savings.

Streamlight TLR-4 Compact Mounted Tactical Light Laser Sight

This is a must have for all home defense handguns. The functionality and ease of use turns every handgun into a real tool. So I purchased this Streamlight TLR-4 Compact Mounted Tactical Light Laser Sight on a whim after reviewing lots of other similar light options for my Springfield XD-M.  Perhaps there is a better value in a quality weapon laser / light combo out there but I sure haven't found one better for the money. Mine now rides under the barrel on the rail of a Springfield XD-M and is right at home there.

The TLR-4 fits perfect on my G32! Perfect for around the house at night for pesky critters, the light illuminates the night great...laser is very visible day/night.

It allows you to really find out if you're high/low/right/left and adjust much more quickly. The flashlight on the TLR-4 is plenty bright for use inside a typical-size home (~40 foot max range). I mean, a strobe would be nice if it were totally effortless, but when you get down to it, if a basic flashlight doesn't get the job done, this light is connected to something else that will. I have read the instructions for various similar light+sights with a strobe feature, and they all required an extra step to trigger the strobe effect. This light should be powerful enough to easily identify targets at night at 40 feet.

Pavillion Theater Seating 3 Black Leather Chairs By Coaster 600130-3

Much nicer than the low price options we looked at in a couple of stores (some of the low price options cost more than this set). Not as nice as the ones that cost per chair what this cost for a set of three. Great looking and comfortable seats for the price. No damage to the boxes or seats during delivery.

The wall away style recline works smoothly and the foam cushioning is firm, but comfortable. The metal cup holders could use a rubber coaster disk in the bottom. Assembly was easy, but you will probably need a helper. The leather quality is pretty typical for this price range.

Flash Furniture ZB-LESLEY-8090-SOFA-BK-GG Hercules Lesley Series Contemporary Leather Sofa with Encasing Frame

I was silently ooohing and aaahing at her sleek and gorgeous appearance. She was a tad shorter in length than I imagined. However, I was too pleased to care. Great couch for the looks, made well, about as comfortable as sitting on a sack of potatoes.

Flash Furniture ZB-LESLEY-8090-SOFA-BK-GG Hercules Lesley Series Contemporary Black Leather Sofa with Encasing Frame is exactly what I needed, a nice looking couch for a room nobody uses but everybody visiting has to pass through. This sofa looks incredible. The sofa was very well-packaged and delivered to my door as promised by the freight company (who did an excellent job).

Aluminum Accent End Table by Aspire

Love it!! You can't beat the price. The quality is great and everyone who comes over comments on how awesome this Aluminum Accent End Table by Aspire is. I was looking for mirrored or silver-toned accessories for my guest room, and was lucky to find this table. 

Aluminum Accent EndTable by Aspire

My budget may have disappeared but my taste for quality & high end looks have not. I wanted to get some handcrafted polished steel end tables for my bedroom or mirrored ones but those definitely weren't in my price range! The tables are highly polished & really give a high end look and are a table u don't see very often.

Home Styles Savannah Cart White -5219-95 HMS973

Home Styles Natural Designer Utility Cart with Stainless Steel Top or Home Styles 5219-95 Savanna Kitchen Cart, White Finish? This utility cart has fulfilled all my requirements. More narrow so plenty of room to navigate around it in my smallish kitchen. Ample storage and I have gotten a lot of compliments on Home Styles 5219-95 Savanna Kitchen Cart, plus additional food prep area.

Home Styles 5219-95 Savannah White Kitchen Cart solid hardwood

The box was incredibly heavy but otherwise it's a solid addition to the kitchen. We bought this for our kitchen, to feature our coffee maker and to store other small appliances. It is very well crafted and arrived to our home in excellent condition. The top can scratch easily so we're just super careful with sliding stuff across it. 

Buffets & Sideboards Home Styles 5022-69 Nantucket Pantry

This is a fantastic piece. Very solid and looks great. Our cabinets are white and this is a touch off white but it still looks and functions great. The price we paid and the fact that Buffets & Sideboards Home Styles was at my house the day after i ordered it without upgrading my shipping was amazing.

Buffets & Sideboards Home Styles 5022-69 Nantucket Pantry

The look of it is beautiful. has that awesome rustic look - or it would be great for a beach home. I wish i had the money and the space to purchase the items that go with the set! I just love it and I get TONS of compliments on it. Home Styles Nantucket distressed white kitchen pantry cabinet will be a superb addition for your kitchen if you want to optimize your kitchen.

DeskCycle Desk Exercise Bike Pedal Exerciser

Why Choose this ?   

Alright so it says that you should be good if you're at a desk that is 27" minimum (assuming you're around 5'10. My desk is 25" and I'm 5'10 and I'm doing alright just sitting back a bit extra. I'm only leaning forward slightly and it's still fairly comfortable. So basically you may be able to cheat a bit on table height if your arms aren't really short. Shorter people may be able to get away with even more.

A review of the DeskCycle, a bike pedal exerciser you can use under your desk

I purchased my DeskCycle Desk Exercise Bike Pedal Exerciser last month, and I can tell you it was well worth the price. The DeskCycle is very similar to the MagneTrainer as far excellent build quality and feel, but is made to sit lower to the foor so I can now pedal under the desk without hitting my knees. While the MagneTrainer was better to recline in a desk chair and pedal, this is better to sit forward or straight in the chair and pedal. This allows for easier typing while pedaling.

For Less DreamFoam Mattress Ultimate Dreams 13-Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress Queen

Why Choose this ?

We used to have a 100% latex mattress but it developed ruts after about 4 years. I did a lot of online research (sleep like the dead etc.) and tried many mattresses in the stores. This mattress (DreamFoam Mattress Ultimate Dreams 13-Inch Gel Memory Foam) was the solution: we found this mattress to be comparable to the TempurPedic Cloud Luxe super plush mattress. It still provides much more support than a plush coil/spring mattress but it is super cozy!

Ultimate Dreams Mattress is manufactured by Dreamfoam Bedding. Considering the price, it is a serious investment

We've had this mattress for 7 months now and no longer notice any smell. You cannot beat this mattress in terms of price and quality. I am a physician, and I had been on a lengthy search to replace my Euro-top traditional mattress that was no longer comfortable. The lack of sleep was taking its toll. Since I had never even considered memory foam as a sleep option before, I felt compelled to do my homework and learn as much about memory foam as possible. I visited several mattress shops and asked a lot of questions.
