These are fine tools that anyone can use around the house or for working on automobiles. I bought both the SAE set and the Metric set for my son-in-law and he loves them. These are NOT cheap-made tools. The pouch is really handy.

This is a good set for a good price. The heavy cloth holder keeps them organized by size. There is not a lot to say about a wrench. The fit is cood, it is thin enough to reach small places. The size is written large enough so you don't have to squint. Denali 15-Piece Combination Wrench Set, Metric

I bought 2 of these sets to upgrade two flashlights. The first one worked great! I was extremely pleased, and would have given the product 5 stars. Then, I installed the second one. The bulb glowed dim and got extremely hot...hot enough to melt the plastic mount in a very short time. I work over in Iraq, so the time, trouble, and cost to send it back are not worth it. I liked the one that worked very much, and really would have bought more, which compounds my disappointment.

Comment on Low Price Nite Ize NIQ-07-1WC 1-Watt LED Bulb Upgrade/Replacement for AA Mini Flashlight with IQ Switch In Stock by J. Wallace

Incredible, variable brightness, brighter than stock, retains focus, versatile, March 31, 2008

J. Wallace (Austin, TX) -

The designers of this product should all receive a collective pat on the back. Overall the improvement is dramatic from the stock bulb.

The upgrade process is simple enough. Remove back cap, replace with the new one. Unscrew the light cap, swap bulb for the new one. Unscrew the lens of the cap, replace reflector with the new one. done.

The light still retains it's ability to turn off by twisting the head down. This acts as a sort of "master off".

Once you've turned on the light for the first time since it was powered down (by cap turn, or removal of batteries), the LED in the light in the rear cap/switch will begin blinking about once very 4 seconds. This helps you locate the light in darkness. The red LED blink in the cap is accompanied by a very faint blink in the white LED as well. Not a distraction, and not bright enough to keep you awake at night... but bright enough to find in darkness. Nice.

Next, operation:

One push = full brightness
Two pushes = 75%
Three = 50%
Four = Slow blink (signal)
Five = Fast blink (signal, attention while bike riding or walking, etc.)

In any of these modes, once you make your selection, and wait 1-2 seconds, an additional push turns the light off. Again, well thought out. You aren't having to push over and over to turn the light off. One push does it. (you can also tighten the cap, which turns off the light and stops the LED blink. Even if you loosen the cap so the light may be turned on again, the LED will not blink until you turn on the light once.)

Differences from Stock:

1) No longer sensitive to dropping. Light will not burn out from impact or 'wearing out'.
2) Light is just slightly longer from the tail cap, but just barely so. (only 1-2mm longer) the cap is made out of heavy duty plastic, and seems to be quite durable.
3) The light can still be focused, but the amount you turn the lens/cap is far shorter. a 1/4 turn pretty much runs through the entire focus range. Much more and the cap comes off.
4) Cap can be removed for a nice area light. Very effective, very bright
5) The light output is far greater than the stock light. Period.

Negatives:
None significant.
If I had to think of some, I would suggest that perhaps the tail cap, being made of plastic however heavy-duty, might be a weakness. (although I doubt this to be a significant issue)
Sound. The light reduces brightness and increases operating life by pulsating the light very rapidly. You don't see this (any more than you see the individual frames of a movie or TV show), but if you move the light very fast, while it's brightness is reduced, you can make out the pulses in the air. The pulsing of this light, creates a soft 'tone' that can be heard in the cap and light area. It is not distracting, and will not be noticed more than about 1 inch away from the light. But it's interesting if nothing else. Again, you have to have your ear against the light to notice this.

Conclusion:
A good thing to buy. Brighter, more versatile, easy to operate, longer battery life, no bulb failures.

Both drivers work well and are a lot of fun to use. I have had a few weeks now and reach for them first before my 18V Dewalt. They are easier to carry around the house, use overhead and in tight spaces. They dont completely replace my heavy duty drill, but they are not inteded to.

The impact is great for drilling, even though they say not to use it to just drill. Impact only). The drill is powerful and last a long time with the Li-ion batteries. The charger was the only thing that die on me. I had to replace it after 2 years of use. But all in all very easy to use and I just love the built in lights on each power tools. I used when I was hanging kitchen cabinets. Or any light heavy duty drilling. You will see how easy they become your only cordless tool.

excellent,simple design and well constructed for deeply thatched and heavily matted lawn areas. Easily mounted accessory that produces a 5/1 productivity versus manual raking. Aerator operates equally well for its purpose.

Great attachment, September 13, 2008

T. Pittman -

This review is from: Mantis Tiller 7321-00-02 Aerator/Dethatcher Attachment Combo (Lawn & Patio)

We just received this attachment yesterday and have put it to good use already. Working on a 1 acre lot, with lots of problem areas, these attachments worked great. We only have the Mantis tiller about 6 months and love it. The attachments were easy to put on. The thatcher amazed us with how much it pulled up, without damaging the good grass. The aerator, seems more like a slit seeder, did a nice job . This is the first time we did this on our lawn, so we will see how it looks in a couple of weeks after the new grass we planted comes in. We thought it cut a little deep, so we just worked it to keep it at a depth we preferred. Since our lawn will be an ongoing project, we thought the purchase would allow us to work on our schedule without having to rent expensive equipment, then rush to return it. We ordered on a Wednesdy night and received the package on Friday. Since Mantis offered free shipping, we ordered directly from them. We received the same price that Amazon had.

Comment on Cheap Vaultz Tools Storage Box Price Drop by Anonymous

Excellent storage for expensive gear, August 7, 2011

Graymalkin "uilleann piper" (Roanoke, VA United States) -

This review is from: Vaultz Tools Storage Box (Electronics)

Okay, so I'm a Vaultz fanatic. I'm also a musician and artist, and use Vaultz products for a lot of my gear. Small Vaultz cases for tuners and accessories, CD storage for my masters, Vaultz pencil boxes for my Prismacolors - they're everywhere!
The Vaultz Tool Box is perfect for storing and protecting expensive microphones and studio headphones, and the lift-out tray is great for cords and small items.
The only items missing from the Vaults product line are guitar cases! (To the folks at Idea Stream, if it sounds like a good idea, I hope you'll remember who suggested it!)

My dream knife chest!, September 13, 2010

This review is from: Vaultz Tools Storage Box (Electronics)

I purchased this item as a lock-box, along with a Wusthof In Drawer Knife Block (Oak, 14-slot), for my kitchen knives. The knife tray fit like they were created for each other! All of my paring knives and a couple longer knives I use daily fit in the hand tray for easy access. Larger and specialty knives are neatly organized below.

Recently we went camping. All the utensils I needed for cooking (ladle, spatula, spoons, tongs, etc.) fit easily in the base and hand tray so I had everything I needed. I also teach a cooking class for homeschool children and can put all the tools I need in my box and be on my way. I am never concerned about curious children trying to get into my treasure chest because it is so secure and I know all my tools are safe due to the sturdy construction.

Thank you for such a magnificent product! I didn't realize when I ordered it just how perfect it would be for the task but now find myself singing it's praises to everyone.
