Outlet Reviews

If the machine does not have a DC port, then this is the thing you want. It's about 5" x 9" with a 4" hose connection, best of all, it has bolt holes so it can be connected to your work bench or a mount.

I have two collection intakes in use, one on the lathe and the other by the drill press. I plan on adding a third to the end of the workbench, just sweep the debris to the end of the table to be sucked up.

These work well but they are not made to fit over your tools port. They are made to be placed in line of the hose, so be prepared to buy lots of clamps, three for each tool.

Although the large plastic knob shown in the picture is really a small winged screw, the gates work as advertised. The construction quality is good, so there is no problem with bending as you push the gate closed. My dust collection system is set up so the collector is above my ducting. To position my gates so that when they are closed there is minimal leaking, I had to install them with the thumb screws on the bottom. I find that the screws are constantly falling out. I wish I had installed the gates upside down, so gravity would keep the screws in place.

The photo looks exactly like the Jet model with a large, easy to turn plasstic knob but this Woodstock International model blast gate has only a tiny little metal thumb screw instead. The price difference is worth it in my opinion, but be warned.

I used to lose pocket knives regularly because they would slip out of my pocket. I bought this knife because it is very compact and slim but has a useable length blade. Additionally, it has the exact tools I use regularly -- scissors and a nail file. I do not use the clip for money but instead use it to attach the knife to the watch pocket in denim jeans or a regular pocket in other pants. I have NEVER lost it and I have come to Amazon to purchase another one for an extra so I don't have to switch the knife around so much when I change into different pants. I have other knives with more tools but this is the knife I carry at ALL times.

It dries towels quickly, and makes them toasty warm. I've used two giant bathsheets from Pottery Barn, which are thick, extremely large towels, folded over several times, and they only become warm in certain places, but they dry much faster than they normally would on their own. When it's two regular or large bath towels, it works even better.The warm rails become a bit hot, so you need to be careful, especially if you have pets that can get close to it. It also warms up the bathroom (being in the North East, that's a plus to me!). Definitely better than not having it. They do require a bit of floor space. We have two - one in the City and one in weekend house in the mountains; it's a lifesaver up there.

nothing better than to have hot towels waiting when you out of your. olny complaint is the switch is hard to turn on/off as was the one I bought last year but last year it cost double for the same item

The unit was VERY reasonably priced--but perhaps for good reason! The warmer is attractive, large enough for a bath sheet, versatile for floor or wall mount and properly balanced for free-standing use. It warms, but very lightly! In the humid climate of South Florida, we absolutely need something to dry towels for multiple daily showers, but would have preferred it if the towel was warmer. I am not unhappy--just left wanting a wee bit more...

This fan is neither as powerful nor as quiet as the Vornado fan it tries to imitate, but compared to some of the other fans on the market today, the Honeywell Mega Turbo is pretty darn good. It moves an impressive amount of air, is solidly constructed, and comes with a reassuring 5-year warranty.

UPDATE: I just discovered that this fan cannot be taken apart for cleaning. I would change the rating to two stars if I could.

For the same price you can pick up the SAME detector at WalMart. It's Wally-branded the Pioneer 202 there, but it's the same detector.

It's a nice enough "intro-level" detector to see if the hobby is something you might want to get serious about and thus make the necessary investments and upgrades to equipment designed for the long-haul or extended use.

If you really want a fair to good dectector, I'd seriously try the Prizm series (III-V) of the Whites Electronics line or a similar intro models meade by more reknowned companies like Whites, Garrett, Fisher, Tesorro or even the foreign-made Explorer.

PROS:
- Dandy little "coin-shooter" for kids and visitors while YOU use the "real" thing
- Ideal for sandy or chip-filled play areas
- Lightweight and easy to use and adjust
- Great little machine for curious relatives/friends to try, kids over 12 or to loan to land owners whose property you'd like to detect.
- Not a "bad" investment for the money, but there ARE better detectors in the $200 range.

CONS:
- Like most detectors, it'll eat up those 9volt batteries in no time if you're not using headphones (Upgrading would save you batteries)
- Not having a adjustable strap over the arm cup is literally a real pain in the arm!
- No depth (about 4 inches is pushing it, though it's picked up quarters in "clean" soil at 6 inches)
- Wil NOT work anywhere NEAR a salt beach...not even in the dry dunes. In fact, I couldn't use it to hunt a park about a mile inland because the Rec Dept had used beach sand for the play areas.
- Overloads easily in trashy areas or mineralized soil.
- Totally worthless for relic hunting.

Ho, noble comrades! `Twas time again for the Fellowship Fan Club to host its Annual Sauron Scavenger Hunt. As ever, the goal was simple: Club Chairman Solun Fangtooth (my neighbor, Glen) took thine replica One Ring, authentic down to the Mordor Elvish inscribed around the band, and hid it in yon forested creek behind his parents' abode. The five new members of the cabal, myself included, would comb the wilderness in search of this mighty treasure. He who was first to unearth Sauron's golden band of evil would be promoted from rank of Hobbit to the Council of Elrond, and get to choose the location for our next screening of all three LOTR films.

The rules of the hunt are simple: any method is allowed, provided it can be justified as the tactics and materials of a fantasy character.

The other four fledglings, cloaked in robes of Rivendell and carrying Torches of Truth (in the form of flashlights), scoured the wooded gully, seeking some minor clue of Fangtooth's passing. But having shared a road-trip to ComiCon with Fangtooth, I knew him to be a wily foe - it would take wits, not persistence, to uncover the location of the One Ring.

To this end, I unsheathed mine ultimate weapon: the Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II Metal Detector. A gift from my patriarch for the passage of boyhood to man, I had honed my skills at alloy retrieval on the sands of Hilton's Head. Finding 64� in Coins of the Realm, I knew the path to advancement lay in the probing waves of this device.

Setting the proper adjustments to compensate for uninteresting metallic flotsam (nails, etc.), I knew the rhythmic beeps of the Quick Draw II would lead me to victory. In practiced, methodical sweeps of the search coil, I combed the creekbed, finding the One Ring in a shallow pool, partially buried in the silt. Victory was mine. My own.

Of course, there were protestations at my ingenuity. Some argued that the technological marvel of the Quick Draw II was outside the boundaries of our club charter. However, I deftly explained that the very name of this product led me to adopt the perfect fantasy persona: I was a bounty hunter - one who used any means necessary to achieve his goals. I was Bilbo Fett!

The Bounty hunter QDII is a detector that allows both the proffesional and amateur detectorist to make excellent finds. although it is in Bounty hunters interest to push their higher price models, the QDII is probably the equal of most detectors in a much higher price bracket, and is in my opinion not promoted enough.
It is good on the beach, on both wet and dry sand, it is at home inland, in forest, park, or ploughed field. it is advanced in its electronics, and very lightweight. this detector is in a class of its own, and very affordable. Dont allow the low price to put you off, this detector is easily the equal of detectors in the �600 price range, and will pay for itelf in no time at all.

Don't waste your time or money. If you want a Weather Station that gives accurate readings, buy the Davis. It can be found for not much more than this trash.
The readings on the Oregon are all over the map.

Purchased the WMR968 for the price. First-off, plastic components on anemometer seemed cheap - they may be functionally fine but feel is poor. Secondly, the manual absolutely sucks! I read this in other reviews and agree. Get the manual for radio shack wireless weather station - it is complete and easy to follow in pdf format for printing. You can get from radioshack.com - I found it doing a google search. Thirdly, the anemometer quit after 1 week of use. Low battery indicator came on, I replaced back-up batteries and still no function. Trying to resolve with Oregon people. Get free weather station software from freewx.net (download the wireless version!). Connect to com port using 9-pin cable available at radio shack.

Have had it for a few weeks. Easy to set up. Using Virtual Weather Station to feed the computer. Tried to order a remote probe thermometer and there seems to be a big confusion over it.
