SKIL 2372-01 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Power Wrench

If you need a mechanic's type tool set for work; this tool is not for you. If you want a tool capable of busting loose lug nuts to change tires, this tool is not useful for that. You get the point, this tool is not an "All in one", "Do Everything" tool nor is it advertised as being one.
What this tool does do well is handle small jobs around the house. I have many corded and cordless tools as well as a couple of air tools. I use those for my heavy work. However, for around the house, this kind of tool can't be beat for convenience. It's lightweight, can get into small spaces and if the power isn't quite enough for what you are loosening or tightening, then you can use it like a manual wrench and it will do whatever your muscles will allow you to do.
The instruction manual that comes with this tool states that you should break a nut/bolt loose in the tool's manual mode (or do the final tightening), and THEN use this tool in the powered mode to finish screwing or unscrewing the bolt/nut/screw. This tool WILL NOT break loose a very tight bolt/nut in the powered mode and it WILL NOT tighten a bolt/nut sufficiently in the power mode. However, used per the manufacturer's instructions, IT WILL properly handle a surprising number of small jobs and beats hauling a heavy tool bag around for small, simple jobs. I find myself using this tool more and more because of its convenience. That's what I bought it for.
This is "only" a 1/4" drive, however, get a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter (very inexpensive) and a whole lot of other sockets become useable. My biggest gripe with my cordless tools is that when I reach for one when I have a small job to do and I find that the battery has drained just sitting on the shelf. NiCad batteries are notorious for this and defeats the purpose of a cordless tool for me (for occasional use). This tool has the newest and best in cordless battery technology namely a Lithium-Ion battery. Lithium-Ion batteries don't have the same problems as NiCad batteries. Lithium-Ion batteries hold their charge even after sitting for months at a time not in a charger. Not only that, but the Lithium-Ion batteries last longer than NiCad's and don't develop "memory". That means that you will get more uses out of this battery before it starts loosing the ability to accept a full charge.
I don't like to see a tool get knocked unfairly. Most of us have heard the saying "Use the right tool for the right job", and the same holds true here. For a tool to use around the house, this one would be very convenient and do the job most would need for light work. Even if you are a professional who uses hand and power tools on your job, this tool could still have a place among your other tools. This tool is well above just a power screwdriver and as I stated previously, if it doesn't have enough power for what you are use it for, then use it manual mode. If that's not enough power for the job, then you are using the wrong tool. I am an ex-mechanic and a certified tool nut. I've done construction/ destruction and many other tool related jobs in between. I own more tools than I realistically will ever need, however, I'm glad I picked up one of these tools to have around the house for when I just want to grab something for a light job and have the battery still charged when I reach for it and let me get a small project done. This it does very well.
Just some food for thought.I too have had similar problems as others on this product but I would consider it a HUGE PROBLEM! The tool completely died for absolutely no reason after about 9 months of ownership with very little (or lite) usage. The charger light just remains lit a solid green (indicating a full charge) with or without the Skil Wrench in the charger. When I do place the Skil wrench on the charger there is no change in the led color light. Either the tool or charger is completely dead?!
The couple times I did use the Skil wrench though it was very handy and cool tool and would love to have a replacement but I am very hesitant as I am reading other owners are having similar issues. Not good! Absolutely disappointed that the tool would just die for no apparent reason. It was working the last time I used the tool, afterwards I placed the tool onto the charger and came back a month or two later and now the tool is completely dead. Arrrg!
Like I said, wouldn't mind having another one but I don't see that happening based on my experience on the MTBF Quality of the tool along with other experiencing similar issues. Real shame!

I just got this a few weeks ago for Christmas and already used it a few times. Was thrilled with the offset capabilities of the tool. It may be called a wrench (and it's main job is) but with the adapter and bits that come with the set I have used it for offset and tight driving problems also (phillips, torx, hex, etc.) A pleasure to have in my tool collection.Want SKIL 2372-01 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Power Wrench Discount?
The Skil Power Wrench is a perfect tool for around the house. Once opened, I immediately went to work fixing my coffee table, and it worked great. It has just enough power for the small jobs and turns into a regular ratchet for those times you need a little more torque. Over all I would definitely recommend it for the DIY'rThursday, September 18, 2014

VCAN Blinc 136 Gloss Black X-Large Full Face Helmet with Ace of Spades Graphics

Okay, she constantly complains she cannot hear...ONLY ONE SPEAKER! I have one exactly like this and I concur, the single speaker blows. They connect easily, although they function identically, the bluetooth hardware is different. They connected and work as specified, but after say 25 Mph the sound is not loud enough. It is easy enough for her to operate, she is a bit slow technologically speaking, but it gets annoying when she cannot hear me....or is that a good thing...lol
It functions well as a helmet, she states it is comfy too. The environmental noise is not too bad either.
Modular is a better option. I just received a modular helmet today, it has stereo bluetooth speakers (TWO SPEAKERS!), functions are again, identical. The same hardware as my other vcan bluetooth helmet but sound quality with two speakers is HUGE Improvement.
-IBuyAlotMe and my girldfriend bought this Vcan bluetooth helment. Bluetooth is great, you can pair with other helmet of the same brand. It's great when you are driving slow, when you are driving fast all you have to do is to speak slowly.
Music is perfect all the time. Just adjust the volume.
Perfect Design I love it, it has a tiger and a ace.
But no complains, I've had it for 3 months now, and it works like a charm, haven't experienced any of the problems the other people are talking about, or maybe I'm just lucky.
Buy VCAN Blinc 136 Gloss Black X-Large Full Face Helmet with Ace of Spades Graphics Now
It's been a month to the day that I received my helmet. The first thing that I noticed was that the design on the helmet, which is more of a decal wasn't put on correctly. Secondly, trying to charge the battery for the bluetooth was pretty horrid since it seems like it has more of a short in it than anything. When it's plugged in, the light doesn't stay red. I have to readjust it and it takes a while to do that. Once I have adjusted it, I have to carefully sit it down. In the past month, the decal that's on the helmet is cracked all over. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing it shrunk in the heat. The helmet only has two vents. While riding, it's OK. But most of your air flow will probably come from under the helmet. While sitting at a light, you're going to have to flip the lid every time because you won't be able to breathe. Lastly, the flip visor, over the past month, has started developing cracks in it. At first, it was a couple, then they started stretching from the sides to the front. I'm very disappointed in that. In hind sight, I wouldn't buy a VCAN helmet again.The bluetooth is 2.0 and connected to my iPhone fine with stereo sound. There are two speakers, one over each ear. The sound quality was lacking until I turned my phone off of 'control loudness' for the music. At 60+ mph, I can still hear just fine. The same with mapping navigation. Don't expect to be able to hold a conversation though. The mic is horrible. You will not be able to talk while riding a Harley at even 10 mph unless you're yelling.
I know on other reviews people say that the helmet is "cheaply made". I took that as more from the standpoint of how it was assembled, in which case it wasn't assembled with any quality involved. However, with the cracks in the visor, I can only imagine what's going on in the black part which I cannot see through. Therefore, before something happens, I'm on the hunt for a different helmet.

Radio Shack Pro 97 Triple-Trunking Handheld Scanner

I live in an area where I can listen to 5+ agencies so this is very helpful. The bank system also works quite well for turning off things I don't want to listen to at any particulat time. (Usually have police, ambulance, air, fire, and others in separate banks).
I've been very happy with my purchase.I wouldn't have looked this product up after many years of owning it, and signed in and gone through the trouble of reviewing it, if it didn't deserve a five star review. I've recently bought another radio, an actual NAV/COM trans-receiver for real world aviation use, and I still always keep my PRO-97 close by, because of it's amazing quality and list of features. It's never once had a problem after a good 5(ish?) years of owning it. There may be newer versions of it, I'm not sure, because I've owned the PRO-97 for a few years now. Anyway, the speaker volume can be VERY loud, in fact you'll probably startle yourself the first time you turn it on. It can be loud enough to take to airshows, turn up, and set close by so myself and the majority of people around me can hear it over passing aircraft. It also has a 3.5mm (standard) headphone jack on the top of it. It has an amazing 1000 channels you can program frequencies into...which is probably 900 more than I ever use. Takes four AA batteries in a convenient little double sided pack. I think in my 5 years of ownership, I've only replaced the batteries about twice. I've even fallen asleep with it on during power outages a few times. It has an AC jack on the side that somehow seems to juice up the batteries even though they're non rechargeable... The construction is very solid. It's durable enough for someone clumsy like me. It's mainly a high quality plastic, no metal, so it's extremely light weight. High quality metal attachment for the antenna, it's not gonna break off, ever. It can scan up and down, through the frequencies. You can set priorities, so if an important frequency comes alive, it will immediately switch to it. It has a quick NOAA button that gets you on the nearest NOAA frequency in 1 button press with no need to program/save/tune any frequencies for it.
If I had to say anything bad about this product, it would be the squelch volume while in scan mode. If you're in scan mode, and you have the squelch too low, the radio will blank out at a frequency of 000.00 and give off an extremely loud hiss, rather than stopping at the frequency it's scanning over. I'd also like to see a tune dial. The only real way to tune a frequency (that I know of) is to punch in the frequency manually, rather than just stepping up a few khz with a knob. There may be a way to do this, but it still isn't on it's own dial/button, which isn't that big of a complaint and not worth taking a star off.
All in all, it's simply the best scanner that you can get for both experienced AND new users. It's easy to learn the basics of just picking it up and setting a frequency. A simple scan button that'll just scan through until it finds an active frequency (which can be annoying when there's constant buzzing repeaters in your area that isn't technically talking, but is still an actively transmitting radio the scanner will indeed stop on). It has all kinds of advanced trunking functions and bank settings, if you're an advanced user. Nice sized lettering on the display. It's a good tool, and worth the money. I chose not to rate it for "ease of use", because it honestly depends on your level of experience with scanners. If you've never used a scanner before, it'll take a little reading to learn how to program it. It was my first scanner, however I am a pilot and I do know a thing or two about VHF AM and FM, yet simple things like saving a new frequency took about 5 minutes to learn. Remember it's a VHF radio, and VHF signals can't travel through simply anything. If you have a hard time listening to the radio (music) in your house, odds are you have thick walls, and may need to take your scanner outside to pick up distant/low altitude signals. You may find you can easily hear aircraft in the sky, but have a hard time hearing the traffic controller on the ground if there's many obstacles between you and him. It all depends on your location relative to the source, especially distance and elevation. For example, I can hear police chatter easily in my own home, but I need to step outside to hear the ATIS at the airport a few cities south of me, despite being 200 feet higher in elevation.
Tip Holding your scanner improves it's reception, but ONLY if you hold it around the main scanner itself. You may think touching the antenna improves reception, like the radio in your home, but it won't work well. Grip it around the screen level area if you're having a hard time. Touching the antenna seems to draw energy from it. Also, if you're in a vehicle, touch the top of your antenna to a metal surface *near the roof* of the car. You'll be able to use the car's very powerful radio antenna and surface area to dramatically improve range. :-)
Have fun!

Make sure you set some time aside and go over the instructions thoroughly, it's worth it. The unit is actually easy to use but the instructions (well written) must be read first. Reception is great.Can program 1000 channels, easily access frequencies, can block out frequencies when scanning, and lots more. I primarily use it for railfanning and am happy with it.
Remember....read the instructions...read the instructions...read the instructions. (They can be easily found online if you want. I bought a used unit that had the instructions on DVD. It was easier to go to the internet and download it. Just use Google search.)

This charger works great with my 1st gen Nano. I listen to Audio books. I hear no high pitched hiss or any other extra sounds when the charger is plugged in.I've purchased 2 of these chargers because they work quite effectively. They also come with an extra USB charging cable that works flawlessly with your iPhone 3G or 3GS. The main car charging unit has a female USB connector as well as a handy replacable fuse just in case you connect it to the wrong voltage or it just wears out.You must be very careful when selecting a car charger for either your iPod Classic, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS because each and every product has a slightly different voltage that is not necessarily compatible with every charging unit. I went through 3 chargers before I found this one and it performs flawlessly!
To ensure that the car charger is effectively charging your iPhone or iPod, pay attention to the charging icon in the upper righthand corner of the screen. If the icon shows a battery with a lightning symbol in it for longer than 5 minutes, you can be assured it's charging properly. However, if it shows a plug-in symbol within the charging icon either immediately after you try charging it or after a few minutes, you can be assured that it is NOT compatible nor is it charging your device.
Be aware that if you are charging your iPhone 3G or 3GS and using it heavily, like talking to someone on the phone while surfing the internet, or playing music while using Google Maps, the charging icon in the upper righthand corner will eventually display the plug-in symbol that indicates it's no longer charging. Be sure not to use the device heavily when you're charging it in your vehicle. For example, a phone call doesn't constitute heavy usage as it's one function being utilized at a time. More than one function operating, however, is not recommended when charging in your vehicle.

I was skeptical about this item because it's so inexpensive that I thought, how good can it be? Well, it's marvelous. I ordered one about a year ago and it has worked wonders in my car, where I use my phone as a GPS. It lasted very well until my 4 year old nephew got hold of it and twisted it using the plastic part, which separated, so it could no longer be used (not his fault, he was just trying to look closely at it) so I ordered another one and it's still just as wonderful. In fact, I'm going to get another one for my husband, whether he likes it or not :-) It will fit just about any phone from an iPhone to a Galaxy Epic Touch, to an Evo it just expands to fit any phone. It used to be mounted on my windshield, but I've now put it on my dashboard. There are more expensive items out there, yes, but I can't see how they'd do a better job. One of the best buys I've made. Please be aware though that not all the car mounts you buy from this particular product link are like the one in the photo. I just ordered one from this site and it was the same KIND of thing, i.e. it was a car mount, but it was NOT the same one in the photo, and this arrived broken, poorly packed so make sure you examine the one you get. The arm on this one is shorter, so even if it wasn't broken, I still wouldn't want it. The one I originally got was from Boho Tronics and that one has quite a long arm so you can move the phone wherever you want. In my opinion, make sure you get from Boho Tronics as you can trust them that they'll send you this exact product. It's a really great accessory if you use your phone as a GPS.UPDATE: One of our employees liked it so much we got him one and I'm ordering yet another one or two for our company vehicles and I'm getting my husband one too. LOVE IT! And Boho Tronics is the best place to get this from cheapest and most reliable.

When I opened this item and started putting it together it is loose. I added some super glue to the back of the phone holder and now it is in place and I have no worries this will get the job done.

Belkin Micro Charger for Apple iPhone (Black)

This unit from Belkin is a nice contrast to the bargain basement cables.
The cable is thick-even thicker than the original Apple supplied cable. As a rough guideline, it is roughly 2/3 as thick as a typical ethernet cable. That may or may not translate to better performance, but at least it feels like the thing won't fall apart in six months.
The connectors are solidly attached. They are not one-piece molded, but have a rubber-like sleeve extending about 1/4" down the cable, so there is at least some stress relief on the connector. In other words, the wires should stay attached to the connector for normal use.
The apple connector body is quite a bit larger than the metal connector, meaning it may be a tight fit for some iphone cases, although mine works just fine. The plastic case is roughly 1/4" wider than the metal part of the connector in all dimensions.
The power adapter also appears quite well made, and it USB connector on it holds the cable tight enough so that it isn't going to fall out. All the surfaces are smooth and the corners are nicely rounded.
The black finish is looks pretty cool against my black iphone/case and ipad (which lives in a black case).
I didn't measure the charging times, but I tried it on both my iPhone4 and iPad3, and it seemed to charge as quickly as I have ever seen it. This is not always the case with the cheaper cables-where charging can take 2x or 3x longer.
My iPhone synched through the cable to my PC with no issues.
The only negative is that the cable is a bit stiff, and wants to maintain its original "kinks", and puts up a little bit of a fight when you try to coil it up. Hardly worth mentioning.
Overall, I'd be happy with this product, and will probably buy additional units to scatter throughout the house. If you have something that charges from a USB and you need to charge it from a standard wall outlet is the way to go. Plugs into the a wall charger and will take any USB interface, regular or micro. I use it to keep my Iphone and Ipad topped off on when stuck in airports or waiting rooms. Works well, no headaches. This version doesn't come with a USB cord so you have to provide it.

Extra chargers are always handy. This one is particularly handy because it has the option to be used both as a USB charger and a wall charger. The cable is sturdy and a good length. As other reviewers have pointed out, it tends to stay permanently kinked but that seems minor. It's a bit on the pricey side but not bad for a high quality, versatile charger.
