Shop-Vac 8017562 Workshop Sawdust Collection System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having a clean shop should be a priority to any boat builder or wood worker. I am a tool columnist for a leading boat-building magazine. It is my good fortune to have tested this system by Shop Vac. I use other dust collecting systems but they are expensive and hard to route around uneven walls or obstacles. Most other large systems also use metal tubing. Dealing with clogs in any metal system can be a giant exercise. Shop Vac's two and one half inch system is not exactly small but smaller and much easier to route than four or six inch piping. With a powerful six and one quarter horsepower Shop Vac Ultra Pro vacuum cleaner this system eats chunks, chips and saw dust all day long with a low noise level. The very tight sealing yellow blast gates allow you to switch from machine to machine with great ease. You can also install sweep stations every so often so you don't have to move the Shop Vac.
One of the features I enjoyed best is the fact that the tubing and fittings seal very tight without the use of glue. The kit can be added to with accessories from Shop Vac as individuals or more than one kit if you have a bigger shop with more machines. This system even keeps up with my biggest planer but I keep the Planer as close as possible to the Vacuum unit. The best overall feature is the small cost for such a valuable system. I also know for a fact that the customer service at Shop Vac is of the highest quality like their products. The made in the USA sticker gives this system another high mark in my review. For a much smaller outlay of cash your wood shop and power tools can all use the same centralized vacuum unit.
The bottom line is you get a super shop vacuum system that can fit any budget or shop space and you only need a wet dry shop vac. I recommend this to all skill levels and machine types used in our home shops. It will improve the dust collection and safety factor of your shop. The Shop Vac Corporation has made an affordable sophisticated system for our home shops. They have proved that they not only make excellent vacuums but they also provide superior accessories that anyone can afford. Try one you'll like it.

Troy-Bilt TB20CS 17-Inch 31cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Curved Shaft String Trimmer with Detachable Shaft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are in the market for an entry level ( $120 or less ) gas powered string trimmer, the Troy Bilt TB20CS has to be at the top of your list.
After much research, I chose this item over all the rest. My reasoning was as follows :

1). The TB20CS receives the most 4 and 5 star ratings of any entry level trimmer, both here as well as other review web sites.

2). It has a 31 CC engine, as opposed to 25 CC engines found on many of the competitive trimmers. That's 22% more power capacity.

3). It uses .095 trimmer cord, which takes a heavier beating than the thinner cord in some of the competition.

4). This baby has a clutch. Some of the competition does not bother with this, I prefer that my cutting line comes to a stop when I feather the throttle back to idle.

5). I like the split shaft that allows me the option to use other tools.
6). Standard dual line bump head spool provides twice the cutting action as some of the single line competitors.

7). It includes the Speedlock fixed line spool for no added charge.

8). Cost : $99.96 at Lowes. Also $99 at Troy.com, but be careful of shipping charges.

A special note to anyone using 2 cycle engine driven tools :

You will note a lot of folk downgrade these items due to either poor starting or poor running characteristics at speed. I suspect these folks have failed to follow one or more guidelines for use of 2 cycle equipment :

A). Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure for starting. They are the ones most familiar with their product. ALWAYS hold the throttle open 1/4 of the way when using full and half choke.

B). Never use old gas. That stuff you mixed up last year will cause you big trouble this year. My rule of thumb is to replace gas once it gets to be 3 months old ( with or without a gas stabilizer ).

C). Always mix oil and gas to the manufacturers specification. If it calls for 40:1, do not mix 30:1. That will cause starting as well as running problems.

D). When finished with a session, pour the gas from the trimmer back into the gas can. Start the trimmer and run 'er dry.

I used my TB20CS for an hour today with great results. Never ran engine above 50% throttle cutting grass 18 to 24 inches tall. Had to line feed only three times during the hour after hitting something really BIG in the grass. That .095 cord zipped through some heavy twigs as well as cactus without snapping.

My only negative is that my forearm started to ache after that hour. But then again, the TB20CS is not a light weight. A sling may be in order if I plan on extended use.

GO FOR IT !!!!

Hot Chili Pepper Fiesta Accent Jellybean Rug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)High quality rug perfect as an indoor welcome mat for my apartment. Tne colors are brilliant and the image of the chili peppers is "spicy", fun and happy. I placed a rubber mat under it to keep it from sliding. It is comfortable to walk on. I especially purchaced a Jellybean Rug because they are washable, as welcome mats get soiled over time. I haven't washed it yet but am glad I can do so when it needs it. I also like the fact that it is made of 35% recycled plastic.

Cricut Cartridge, A Child's Year Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a silhouette of myself as a youth and saw this cartridge. I've actually picked it up many times at the stores, and patiently waited until it went on sale. I'm glad I got it.
The boy cutout has a slight resemblance of my son's profile - so I used that on a few thank you cards. I've used the cutouts of the child's activities on other cards - making Happy Birthday, Thinking of you, Remember when...
This cartridge is nostalgic and when you use funky print paper - gives it a modern twist. The Cakes/add ons are useful for other projects. No matter what cartridge I'm using/project, I've always come back to this one to add on a final touch.
I made a Happy Birthday banner with the font from this, and used a few cut outs of the candles, cupcakes and party hats. I received a lot of wows and oooohhhhs.
My next project, I'm going to get some felt and cut out some images and frame them as art in our bathroom. I'll be changing out the images in relation to the month so that will keep the decoration fresh and interesting.

SteamFast SF-226 Handheld Steam Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just purchased a previously owned townhome and needed to really clean the entire kitchen. I used an industrial grease remover and was unable to remove all the grime (YUK!!!). I had seen this product advertised and was skeptical; however, I was pleasantly surprised. The SteamFast SF-226 Handheld Steam Cleaner did an exceptional job. Following the use of the steamer, I was able to wipe down all surfaces in the kitchen. It worked great on the grout, stove-top, kitchen tile, floor tile, refrigerator, and woodwork. I highly recommend this little work horse!

Troy-Bilt AH720R Trimmer Plus 16-Inch Dual-Action Articulating Hedge Trimmer Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this trimmer after returning a Black and Decker that turned out to be defective. After being totally disgusted with the lack of quality in trimmers under $100, I started looking around to see what else was out there. I have a Ryobi click-link gas powered string trimmer and so this unit fits right on it. I decided to go for it. This unit is all metal (as in NO PLASTIC anywhere!) and has nice carbon steel blades. It easily cuts through 1/2 inch branches and will gnaw its way through 3/4 inch branches with minimum fuss. You can't stop it. I just trimmed 3 of my 12 foot tall Japanese maple trees and it never stalled once. I have it attached to a 31cc power head. The extra reach and swivel capability means I can easily reach the top of my trees from my ladder. The trimming job on those trees used to take hours with a long handled pruner. Now I can get it done in minutes. This tool is actually comparable to the Stihl hedge trimmer that sells for a lot more money. If you have a power head to put this tool to use, you can't go wrong. Other hedge trimmers in this price range aren't near the quality of this thing, and you don't need a cord to run it. If there is anything on the down side here, it would be the weight. It's a bit heavy to manuever for me so it would be very difficult for my wife to manage. This is no little ladies tool though so keep that in mind guys.

The Troy-Bilt dual action blade hedge trimmer attachment features 16-inch blades for smooth and quick cuts, and both blades are replaceable for maximum tool life.

The attachment is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.

Swisher Universal ATV Manual Lift Kit 2828 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The item arrived well ahead of it's delivery schedule. Unfortunately, the plastic cover was broken. It was replaced promptly with another broken plastic cover. After another call to customer service, that one too was replaced (customer service was excellent). The plow lift was not what was expected. The winch mounted easily, the handle had to have the paint scrapped off of it so that it would fit into it's designated location. The adjustment turnbuckle on the winch cable assembly pulled apart after 2 uses. The turnbuckle is probably one of the cheapest made and is too light weight for this application. I replaced it with a quality one. I hope the rest of the cable assembly holds up!! For nearly $100 I had expected something a little bit higher in quality than what I received. The winch does work fine and is a great option for somebody that doesn't want to install an electric winch.

Oregon Fusion Blade For 42-Inch Cub Cadet/Troy-Bilt/Yard Machines/Yard-Man Lawn Mowers 498-059 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought this would be the perfect replacement blade for my MTD mower since the extra teeth would give me more cutting surface for my overgrown acre of land.
Imagine my surprise when it arrived with flat cutting edges and nothing more impressive than an off the shelf model at the local Tractor Supply.
So far it works, we will see how long it lasts though.
Go with another, cheaper blade.

Dual Voltage Power Supply for Tattoo Machine (Run Both Shader and Liner on Thier Own Custom Settings) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i've been upgrading my tattoo setup/gear for the past year, and one thing i always am lookin for are good power units out there... besides tattoo machines, etc..
anywho, while shopping around, i saw this power unit... the cosmetics got me of course, the cool led blue light... lol. most machines out there have the digital red.. i just like blue more, lol. but that's not why i bought it... lol
i actually liked the fact that you can plug in both shader/liner in and when you're done lining your tattoo, you can pick up your shader and start shading w/ a flip of the switch on the machine. it just helps save time for me when i'm inking.. i can set up both my liner and shader and tune them where i want them, and like i said, when done lining just pick up my shader and go... whereas w/ other machines, you'd take your clip cord off your liner, put it to your shader, apply the rubberbands and tune it up and then start... now that process doesn't take too much time either... but what's easier then just flipping the switch and being all set to go on the client and starting...
most clients i found don't like waitin that extra time for that switch up/tuning since you could be spending it on inking..
i bought this machine cuase i liked the fact i could work both machines/set up both and use them w/ flippin the switch... it saves time for me. i like this machine alot.. out of the other units i have used, which incl: power units that have the banana plugs, 10 turn knob (non-dual)
this machine to me is the best... another reason i say that, i've noticed on pieces that are gonna have me inking for 6 hrs straight... this machine does not overheat like some other 10 turn knobs or non-dual machines do...(mostly the red led lit ones). i've used some of those non-dual ones, and i'll ink for maybe 2 1/2 hours and that machine will be so hot, i can't hardly touch it to put it away. where as this unit, like i said, i could be inking for 6-8 hrs straight, while it might be a lil warm, it won't be too hot to touch like i have experienced w/ the other machines... so this is a good machine to use if you're going to be doing long hours of tattooing.
the only downside to this machine compared to other units is that most places that sell it do not choose to incl: the foot switch and 2 clip cords to come w/ it. some sites do incl. at least 1 foot switch and 1 clip cord, but most sites don't incl. it at all.. but it doesn't cost that much to buy 2 clip cords and 1 foot switch if you do not already have them.. you'll pay about $45 for all 3 items..
so if you're out there and you want this machine, make sure you have at least 1 foot switch and 2 clip cords for it.. 1 for liner and 1 for shader.. you can run it w/ 1 clip cord, but like i said above, you'll be switching that clip cord to your other machine when you finish lining... so if you don't want to deal w/ that, then buy 2 clip cords.
this power unit will not disappoint... def worth the $$. you won't want to go back to whatever other unit you've been using after you use this unit.
