    • >> Feature-rich for the price. Belkin is a trusted brand. No cables included. - This surge protector is a great value and a very feature laden product for it's type. The cord organizer is a very welcome addition. Once routed through to thier respective outlets the mass of attached AC cords no longer looks like an 'electrical porcupine' but instead as a very well designed and neat feature with very visible and immediate benefits. I've had many power strips in the past but this one extra feature has been long overdue. Remember ...."neatness counts" As you may know it has surge protection as well for RJ-11 (telephone) RJ-45 (Ethernet) and coaxial (75 ohm multimedia cable) I am currently only using the Ethernet jacks..BUT as one other reviewer mentioned, I had to hunt and search as the Ethernet jacks 'were nowhere to be found'. I nearly called Amazon for an RMA. Well after sitting on the floor pondering this and cussing a little too I somewhat reluctantly tried peeling away a 'warning label' of some sort and 'Lo and Behold" were the 2 Ethernet jacks. I saw the warning label earlier and did not attempt to remove it. After all it was there as a 'warning' so I may benefit from seeing it another time. How silly to hide the Ethernet jacks beneath a warnming label that, like me, many folks would not ever consider removing. Belkin should have had the warning label ALSO declare that the Ethernet jacks were hiding beneath. How proposterously silly and ridiculous to obfuscate them beneath a very valid warning label without declaring thier whereabouts beneath. Frankly ladies and gentelmen, it pissed me off. Not the searching as I did find them, but the use of a warning label to hide them. The label could have easily been edited to say "The Ethernet jacks are underneath". Anyway my other complaint is that this add-on surge protector advertises Ethernet / Telephone / Coaxial surge protection and rightly so..BUT it fails to include an input jumper cable of each type so one can actually use it right out of the box. I realize the product literature does not say one way or the other if input cables are included. Many other devices that are an ADD-ON to existing systems DO INCLUDE the required cables so one can actually ADD-ON the accessory. I had to go to the store and purchase an Ethernet cable....this is MY FAULT for not investigating more thoroughly pre-sale but live and learn. I agree with all the other reviews about number of outlets provided and spacing for wall warts etc..so no further remarks on that needed. I would still recommend this unit 100% with the foreknowledge one will need to beg borrow or buy input cables beforehand in order to actually use this product right out of the box for RJ-11, RJ-45, and Coaxial protection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...
    • >> Belkin 12 - outlet Surge Protector - Once the product arrived I untangled the mess of power cords I had under my computer desk. I have used other belkin surge protectors in my office and have been satisfied with them. This was a factor in deciding to purchase this one. I really like the surge protector's number of outlets and the order they are arranged. However I believe the manufacturer could improve the mounting holes it has on the bottom for mounting the device on the wall. This is a bit challenging under a desk. I would like to see the mounting holes moved farther apart or extended to where they protrude on the ends and one could just screw it to the wall. At the very least the manufacturer could provide a sheet with the mounting hole pattern for placement. The product has worked very well. The small power transformers that I have plugged in have not become disconnected or fallen out with the protector wall mounted. I would choose this product again.
    • >> Damaged with mild fluctuations - After using this product for one day there were mild light fluctuations in the house. No other equipment or surge suppressor in the house was damaged but this surge suppressor stopped working. I have to seriously think about buying Belkin suppressors any more.
    • >> Technical Specifications - for those who are interested - For this item, BE112234-10, the box has these Technical Specifications: Continuous Duty Electrical Rating: 125V/15A/60Hz/1875W Maximum Energy Dissipation: 4156 Joules H-N: 2052 Joules H-G: 972 Joules N-G: 972 Joules Phone Line: 160J Joule is a measurement o fenergy a surge protector component can absorb. A higher joule rating reflects higher-quality surge protection and longer product life. Maximum Spike Current: 216,000A H-N: 120,000A H-G: 48,000A N-G: 48,000A Maximum spike current is measured by amperage. Higher amperage rating reflects greater absorption capacity against lightning or sudden dramatic power spikes. UL Clamping Voltage (3-Line): UL 1449 330V Response Time:
    • >> Response time stated nowhere - Belkin's site doesn't specify what the response time of this surge protector is. You can have a higher joule rating but if it takes more than 10 nano second (one hundred millionth of a second) for it to respond, it won't provide much protection to your electronics. I see response time rating for lower priced surge protectors on their web site, and from that one may "conclude" that this higher priced item should be equal or better. From the warranty (though pretty much useless) of $300K for connected devices stated for this product, one could assume it has a faster response time than 10 nano seconds. I wrote to Belkin's customer service, and they themselves couldn't find the data for response time for this product. If a company cannot state specifications for its own products, it tells a lot about that company. I also searched the web and couldn't find this info. If anyone could find this spec anywhere, please respond to this review with that info. If response time is indeed good, then the other specs make this a compelling product to buy.

  • AO Safety 90541 WorkTunes AM/FM Hearing Protector with Digital Tuning and MP3 Input AO Safety 90541 WorkTunes AM/FM Hearing Protector with Digital Tuning and MP3 Input Peltor
    New: $46.95
    • >> Product Description - Listen to music instead of your power tools! The built-in AM/FM tuner in these comfortable headphones now features an easy-to-read LCD display, seek/scan tuning buttons, a low-battery indicator, and the ability to pre-set up to ten different stations. Everything is designed for convenient radio browsing. For even more options, use the stereo input jack (cord included) to connect your iPod or other portable devices and scanners. Soft gel/foam ear pads and an adjustable stainless steel headband guarantee long lasting comfort. Plus, with an EPA noise reduction rating of 22 decibels, you'll receive stellar ear protection. Great for the shop or any loud environment.
    • >> Amazon.com Product Description - Protect your ears while keeping yourself motivated at your job site with your favorite tunes or radio programming with the AO Safety 90541 WorkTunes with digital tuning hearing protector, which includes an integrated AM/FM radio and a stereo input jack for connecting an MP3 player. A great choice for use on construction sites (check your local regulations), in your workshop, or in your yard while mowing or blowing, the WorkTunes hearing protector offers an EPA noise reduction rating of 22 decibels. The lightweight gel/foam ear cushions offer comfort for extended wear. You'll enjoy convenient, comfortable hearing protection from the WorkTunes headset, which features lightweight gel/foam cushions that feel great even after wearing for an entire day, an adjustable stainless steel headband with padded top. Hearing protectors are recommended whenever you encounter extended periods of sound levels regularly exceeding 85 dBA--essentially, a level of noise where you feel the need to shout in order to be heard by someone just 3-feet away (see a chart showing typical sound levels). The radio and its controls are housed in one cup, and you'll be able to quickly tune to your desired AM or FM radio stations with the easily accessible seek/scan tuning buttons. Reception strength may vary depending upon location. You can also save up to 10-preset stations with a dedicated key that sits below the LCD screen, which offers a large-sized display of the radio frequency. Other controls include a combined on/off/volume control and a toggle button that switches between AM and FM radio. The LCD screen also offers a low battery indicator (see a larger schematic image of all controls). You can also connect an optional MP3 player (such as an Apple iPod), CD player or other portable devices such as a scanner via the stereo input jack (35.mm male-to-male cable not included). Additionally, the WorkTunes headset protects your hearing from both the external environment and the music you're listening to thanks to a volume control limiter that tops out at 85 dB. The radio and digital input are powered by 2 AA batteries (not included), which provide approximately 140 hours of operating time. The WorkTunes hearing protector combines an AM/FM radio with digital input for connecting your MP3 player (see larger schematic image).
    • >> Great! Don't hear someone yell out "Heads up!" - There is a basic problem with this product. If you on a site where your ears need serious protection, you are probably on a site where safety is a big issue. Audible distractions are bad enough for a driver (as NHTSA and others are now saying). On a construction site or around a jet engine, the distraction of music or talk radio could get you killed. My guess is most safety-conscious sites would ban something like this (except in New York City, where Mayor Bloomberg enjoys seeing construction workers killed).
    • >> Better than ever now with MP3 input. - I really like these, I have 3 pair. 2 are the older analog tuning style which are at best OK, and 1 that has the digital tuning. Now with the MP3 input too I am sure they rock.
    • >> LISTEN TO THOSE IN THE KNOW, DON'T BUY - I BOUGHT THESE TO LISTEN TO MOSTLY TALK AM RADIO WHILE MOWING AND WORKING IN A CABINET SHOP. SINCE THESE ARE FOR HEARING PROTECTION, THE VOLUME CONTROL IS LIMITED. SOME AM STATIONS THAT ARE NOT PICKED UP AS GOOD AS THEY SHOULD CANNOT BE HEARD VERY WELL BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TURN UP THE VOLUME QUITE ENOUGH. I FIND MYSELF TURNING MY HEAD AT TIMES JUST TO TRY AND HEAR THE TALK SHOWS. FM IS SOME BETTER, BUT IT TO WILL BREAK UP WHEN YOUR FACING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.I WILL NEVER BUY A SET OF THESE AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE WEAK VOLUME. I JUST BOUGHT THE Sangean DT-210 AM/FM Pocket-Size Digital Radio, BECAUSE THE REVIEWS ARE MUCH BETTER. I WILL KNOW THIS WEEK IF THE MUCH BRAGGED ABOUT POCKET-SIZED DIGITAL RADIO WILL GET THE JOB DONE FOR ME. IF YOU MUST, GO AHEAD AND BUT THE AM FM PELTOR ON THIS PAGE...WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!
    • >> Decent...But Not Great - I work in the lawn care industry and have owned several of the worktunes units. I have owned two of these particular units and, although I am not impressed with them, I think they are decent for the money. The first one of these I got last year, and it developed a short in the wiring after using it about 4 months. I have had the one I am currently using for about 6 months, and so far, so good. I realize I am fairly rough on them in my line of work. Overall quality is decent. FM reception is good for the most part. I also like the mp3 jack. I enjoy listening to my mp3 player sometimes while mowing. The main problem is that the AM is almost useless. I do enjoy talk radio, and much of the time you can't get AM reception decent enough to hear anything. Maybe if I am out mowing in a large field and the wind is blowing just right I can listen in. So, if you want to use it for FM and mp3 music, it's not a bad deal if you can get it under $50. If you want to listen to AM radio, save your money!
    • >> Better than I thought - These ear protectors are performing much better than expected compared to many of the reviews I have read. The sound dampening is very good and the unit is comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I expected the radio to be a poor performer based on other reviews, but found it to be decent for a shop environment. A stand alone radio that I have been using has much poorer reception than this unit. The nice thing is that you can actually hear the radio easily when operating large equipment (the shop radio was drowned out). What really surprised me was the speed which Amazon delivered the product. It arrived the day after shipping confirmation; that's great.

  • MJSI HYR270 HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush Converter MJSI HYR270  HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush Converter MJSI, Inc.
    New: $18.84
    • >> Product Description - HydroRight Dual Flush Converter, Convert Any Size Toilet Into A Dual Flush Toilet, Installs In 10 Minutes, Simply Remove Flapper & Drop Converter Over Flush Valve Over Flow Tube, Patented Dome Gasket Fits All Standard 2" Flush Valves, Remove Existing Flush Handle & Flapper Chain & Replace With Easy To Use Split Button, Adjust Small Button For Quick Flush Liquid & Light Waste Removal & Large Button For Full Flush Solid Waste Removal.
    • >> MJSI HYR270 HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush Converter - Like others have said, the single flush does not work well, you have to hold the button in for about 3 seconds for it to flush toilet paper, otherwise it would get 5 stars. I installed this in a 1980s era American Standard Plebe toilet. I also bought the MJSI HydraClean Fill Valve at the same time because it was recommended for toilet tanks with the old ballcock which may interfere with the installation of the converter. My ballcock did not interfere with the installation so I didn't install the fill valve. I may install it in the future if my old fill valve dies, or I just get the ambition to mess with the toilet plumbing. I will be buying two more Dual Flush converters for my other 2 AS Plebe toilets,
    • >> Simple, quick, and easy way to save water - I have now replaced all of the flappers on all three toilets in my house with these. I ordered one to make sure that the dual flush mechanism would actually work and flush everything on the single flush. It worked perfectly on the first toilet on and I ordered 2 more. The mechanism to attach the device is a simply cable tie. It comes with one already attached. I did have to cut off the one that came installed on the unit and use the spare that was included to get this to slide down over the fill tube. Not really an issue, but you might want to remember it when you install. And, the size of the fill tube was not an issue. One of the toilets in the house had a very large fill tube. I was able to use a bigger cable tie and it works perfectly. I had the correct type of water supply in all of my toilets. As others have mentioned, check to make sure you have the correct fill type in your toilet. The units are very adjustable for both the single and full flush. It does take a few minutes to get all of that adjusted correctly. I have gotten my first water bill since I've installed them. With these converters only installed for half of the billing cycle, my daily water usage went down 15 gallons a day for a 2 person household. I'm assuming that this will go up to 20 or more gallons a day when it covers the whole billing cycle. I am really pleased with the results and would recommend that anyone who wants to save water, without replacing your toilets, this is a great option.
    • >> okay product not crazy about vendor - Product did not work in my toilet. I called mjsi and they were really helpful. Great cutsomer service. Would definitely go out of my way to buy one of their products again. Not crazy about ace hardware outlet's return policy. They could have been just a litle more attentive,in replying to emails, or flexible in allowing me to return this product and get something else, since this product was not working.
    • >> A worthy effort toward water conservation. - Overall, I am satisfied with this product after using it for several weeks and would not concider returning it as unacceptable. I do have a few comments. First, the unit was relatively easy to install; however, I do believe that the installation instructions could have been more thorough. I believe that in trying to make the instructions simple, which they are, thay actually oversimplified them. The unit does only take a short time to initially install but that does not include the protracted time required to make the fine adjustments to make the unit flush correctly. (This would be true of any similar unit.) The adjustments are easy to do--just time consuming. My major complaint is that the flush buttons are relatively hard to push and I believe the competitors handle type activator would be superior in ease of operation. It seems to be a well made unit and will probably last for a long time. The toilet does use less water for flushing liquid waste with the use of this product.
    • >> Missing Information - Product works absolutely fabulously, if you don't already have a 1.6 gpf or less toilet already. Product website and amazon specs page fail to mention that this product is only going to reduce your gpf if you have an VERY old toilet or one that uses more than 1.6 gpf. If you do have a 1.6 gpf toilet, it will use exactly the same amount of water for the #1 flush; however, the #2 flush actually uses more water than your regular flapper in your 1.6 gpf toilet. So, all in all, its a great concept that would work great for anyone with an older model toilet. The installation was extremely easy and the qaulity of the product materials were great. It seems like it would last forever and needs no maintenece. Overall great product!

  • P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor P3 INTERNATIONAL
    New: Too low to display
    • >> Product Description - Kill A Watt can help you reduce your power bill. Kill A Watt will help find power-wasting appliances then you decide whether it is worth keeping them plugged in. For standard 115 VAC appliances only, 15 Amps maximum, 125 VAC maximum.
    • >> Amazing - First off, I purchased this from Radio Shack and not Amazon for about $24.99 plus tax. The knowledge this product will save me $158.40 a year based on $0.12 a kWh just on what I learned about my computer. My computer's surge protector used .11 kWh in 44 minutes in stand by mode. That's about 110 kWh in a month or about $13.20 a month. I mean come on! I have had my computer on stand by mode for at least 9 years! That is $1425!!!! Having a tool like this is amazing and incredibly money saving. If you don't buy this, you are wasting your money. Having my HP Laptop charger plugged in but not connected to the laptop, used 0 kWh. Right now I am checking to see how much it takes to charge it from 0% to 100%. Then how much it uses to leave it connected 24/7. I am having a lot of fun with this. BUY IT YOU WILL LOVE IT!
    • >> Alot of info for a small price - This unit works great, it will let you know how much energy you are using when the unit is off, or working at full load. I worked in the electronic industry for 36 years, this unit is as good as some of the voltage analyzers I worked with that cost a thousand dollars!
    • >> Just plug it in - Fantastic device. The first appliance I tested was my 30 year old Amana 13 cubic foot upright deep freeze. After three days it had used only three KWH. Convinced me there was no need to spend a lot of money to replace it while trying to reduce operating cost. It's on loan to a friend right now and he's thinking of buying one for himself. When I get mine back I'll be checking everything that's plugged in.
    • >> Best Money I have spent on Amazon - I am just so pleased with this Kill A Watt unit. It has been fun to use and and investigate all my power consumption. Some things are just for infomational purposes because I can't unplug them(i.e. Refridgerator) and others are devices where we can change our habits some and start savinfg some real money every month. Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive, small profile, Cons: Setting disapear when unplugged, zero directions I think that the company that made this unit could be more helpful if they were to offer a spreadsheet on their website that people could download and use for figuring out their power consumption. I made one myself but it took a lot of time. Also not everyone is good at math and formulas it would be helpful if they offered a small cheat sheet for people to use to help them get started on the math of KWH and how we are all bileed for our electricity.
    • >> P4400 Kill A Watt - I wanted to put a Microsoft MCE computer on line in the living room, but I was afraid of the power usage, We live in Hawaii and pay some of the steepest prices for electricity. Using the P4400 Kill A Watt put my mind at ease. The LCD screen is very easy to read, I had no issues or problems with operating the device. Its nice knowing just how much electricity a device will use, and estimating how much it would cost to run, helps. I'm glad I bought it and would recommend it to anyone.

  • Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Side By Side Refrigerator Push Button Fast Fill Water Filter, 1-Pack Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Side By Side Refrigerator Push Button Fast Fill Water Filter, 1-Pack Whirlpool
    New: $26.95
    • >> Product Description - Push button fast fill in grill noncyst refrigerator water filter for Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Estate, Roper, Kitchen Aid, and Jenn Air side by side model refrigerators.
    • >> Great Water Filter, Fits my fridge. - This is a great water filter. Water tastes great and it last for 5-6 months. I would have given 5 Stars but these filters are overpriced in general (although Amazon offers a decent price).
    • >> Replace again? - I was tired of refilling the Brita pitcher, so we got a refrigerator with the filtered water dispenser. This works great, I just wish I didn't have to keep replacing it every six months. You will definitely taste and smell the difference.
    • >> Fast Fill? Hardly. - We have a Kitchenaid fridge, and the water comes out tasting great. But it takes forever to come out! It's so time consuming to stand there with this filter that I've gone back to drinking terrible poison tap water because I don't have three minutes (literally three whole minutes) to fill a 14-oz glass. It wasn't like this with the filter that came with the fridge.
    • >> water filter - Just as I expected, replacement water filter for side by side Maytag refrigerator. Easy to install, works well. Ease of search on Amazon.com.
    • >> Great Price - I like how easy these things are to replace. And Amazons price is the best Ive found.

  • RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist - Bicycle Hoists RAD Cycle Products Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist - Bicycle Hoists RAD Cycle Products
    New: $12.75
    • >> Product Description - There's no such thing as not enough room for another bike. Store your bikes overhead and out of the way. Smooth pulleys and latches make lifting even heavy bikes super easy. The exclusive rope locking mechanism prevents unwanted release and can suspend one bike - 55 lb. load limit. Please note, you can mount this item as pictured on a 2 x 4 and screw the 2 X 4 to the joist or mount it right to the joist itself. The hoist is built with thick rope for a better look and feel. Lifetime warranty.
    • >> Good product, good price, is exactly what I needed - The product was exactly what I needed. Purchased three of the same to lift bikes out of the way. Better price then local stores. I have 12' ceilings in my garage and so these get the bike's completely out of the way. After measuring and finding stud's, I determined the best mounting would be to put a 1 x 4 against the ceiling sheet rock. This made it very easy to measure and attach the lift system to the board on the ground first, then I mounted the board the the ceiling. I'm guessing it took me about 30 minutes to do the first one and then about 15 minutes each for the others. The long cord worked out great for me, I didn't need to trim anything. The pulley system isn't a fast lifting system. I take my time lifting it up and down but it requires little effort. It's clean, easy to use and the right price. Well worth it.
    • >> What's Not To Like! - Product is just as described. Works great. Great price too. What's not to like. Pretty simple, actually. Pulleys, hooks and rope. Not much can go wrong.
    • >> Poor Execution - Beware, the RAD and Racor bike ceiling mounts have minor important differences. Previously I had purchased a Racor, and I thought I was buying the same bike mount when I bought the RAD. The main important difference is the hooks. The RAD's hooks are "L" shaped; they're not "J" shaped like those in the illustration advertising the product. The RAD's hooks are also rivited onto the pully assemble and the tension cannot be adjusted. The rubber coating on the RAD's hooks is also short; it only comes up about 1/2" after the turn. If you're looking for a bike mount, the Racor is also cheaply made, but it's certainly better than the RAD for only a couple of dollars more.
    • >> Rad Bike Hoist - This product was easy to install. I had it installed in about 15 minutes. Its easy to use. My eight year old raises and lowers his bike with ease. As fas as looks, its great because we don't even hardly notice it up at the ceiling.
    • >> Works as advertised - While the quality of the rope could be better, they give you plenty of it and the instructions were easy to follow and hang. Although if you want to mount the bikes so they run opposite of your ceiling joists you need to add a 2x4 across them to mount the brackets. It also helps to secure the bracket to the 2x4 before you hang it.

  • PUR CRF-950Z 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter, 3-Pack PUR CRF-950Z 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter, 3-Pack PUR
    New: $17.99
    Used: $18.99
    • >> Amazon.com Review - Keep drinking chemical- and odor-free water with a new PUR water filter. This pack of three replacement filters fits PUR’s Ultimate Water Filtration Dispenser and Pitcher. They reduce cadmium, cryptosporidium, giardia, lead, mercury, asbestos, copper, zinc, and sediment 96 to 99.99 percent; plus lessen chlorine levels and discoloration. PUR’s filters are made with activated carbon to reduce chlorine and sediment, and include an ion-exchange resin that helps eliminate lead and copper. For best results, filters should be changed every 40 gallons. While PUR filters rid water of many chemicals, coloration, and bad flavors, they do not soften water or remove fluoride. This package of filters measures 7.9 by 7.6 by 2.7 inches, and weighs 2 pounds. --Jessica Reuling
    • >> good product, may be found cheaper elsewhere - i bought this from amazon for $22, but later saw this at walmart for $14.99
    • >> Long lasting, great tasting - I have been using the same filter for about 4 months, drinking about 16-24 ounces of water a day, and the filter continues to work as great as it did the first day. No cause for complaint.
    • >> GREAT FILTER! WAY BETTER THAN BRITA! - I purchased this like a week ago and i must say the filter does its job. Water tastes wonderful, very smooth i simply love it.Be aware that the price is better at Walmart. I've seen the pack of 3 filters for only 14.99, so I wont purchase them from Amazon.I am a amazon costumer for years now and i ALWAYS order from Amazon but lately i have been very dissapointed when i found out that i paid more than I should with severall items.
    • >> Some are crazy slow, some not - Been using these for a couple of years now, and my only complaint is that sometimes they take 12 -24 hours to filter one gallon of water - and although one might expect that as the filter got dirty it would clog up and slow down, it seems completely arbitrary - one filter will get that slow after 2 days use, while another might take 2 weeks, and yet another will never slow down, and I'll just change it because it's time. So, probably 8 out of 10 times I'm changing the filter before it should be needed because I can't stand to wait so long for it to do it's job. I asked customer service about this when I first started using them, and they said to take it out of the the pitcher and shake it up, but that does nothing. Still it's a better deal than bottled water, so until I hear of a better one, I guess I'll keep using them...
    • >> low price, fast service - This type of Pur filter have served us very well in a water-stand dispenser for the past few years. These replacement filters were offered at an unusually good price, and they arrived within just a few days. We're very pleased.

View larger. Versatile, User-Friendly Design A sharp blade makes it easier to get work done quickly and safely. The innovative AccuSharp Knife Sharpener lets you sharpen most blades in around ten seconds. Sharpening is oil- and mess-free, and it doesn't require guessing at angles or handling rough, awkward stones. This sharpener's easy-to-use design makes it a great tool to have on hand in professional and personal kitchens, as well as an easy choice for hunters, fishermen and women, gardeners, and craftspeople. Featuring a unique, ergonomic handle, the AccuSharp fits neatly in either hand to accommodate both right- and left-handed users, and it includes a full-length guard that protects your fingers throughout the sharpening process. Fast, Effective Sharpening To get started sharpening, you simply place your knife on a table or counter top with the cutting edge up. Hold the knife handle securely with one hand. Then let the "V" notch on the sharpener straddle the blade, and use your thumb to apply light pressure as you draw the AccuSharp down past the point of the blade. When you first use the AccuSharp on a blade, several passes may be required to make sure that your knife's cutting angle conforms to the AccuSharp angle. But once that angle is achieved the first time, it should take just two or three brief passes to put a sharp edge back on your knife--which means that sharpening fits into your busy schedule instead of interfering with it. Dependable, Long-Lasting Construction To deliver years of reliable use, AccuSharp sharpening blades are crafted from diamond-honed tungsten carbide, one of the hardest known materials. And because even the toughest industrial-quality blades eventually begin to show wear, AccuSharp's unique design allows you to reverse the blade to double its life span. Most users report an average of five to 10 years between blade replacements, which means that it's easy to ensure that your sharpener will be ready to go when you need it. AccuSharp Knife Sharpeners will not rust, and they can be cleaned easily with soap and water or in your dishwasher. What's in the Box AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener
    • >> Excellent Product - I have tried several types of sharperners and this is by far the best I have ever used. It is very easy to use and will give your knife a very sharp edge.
    • >> as cheap as it looks - this is the real deal sharpener and its worth every last cents and when it wears out all you haave to do is buy a new one sine itss so cheap
    • >> Great - Having spent hundreds of dollars over the years on various electric sharpeners that were a pain to use and in my unskilled hands produced dubious results, I was intrigued by this very inexpensive simple looking device on Amazon. But for the reviews, I would have assumed that it could not work. Was I ever wrong. It is great. A few simple strokes, and dull useless knives suddenly slice through things perfectly. Even roll sausage that always came out a squashed mess now slices into lovely round disks. I am in the process of giving one to everyone I know. It is wonderful when something actually works. A delight.
    • >> Great tool in the kitchen - After toting my cooking knives around in my car to drop off at the sharpening shop, never seeming to catch them open, I decided to try again at home. I chose the AccuSharp 001 and was very happy with it to say the least. Within minutes I was slicing and dicing again with "new" knives. Very happy. Would recommend them hands down.
    • >> My knives are sharp again! - This sharpener works exactly as you would expect. This even made my inexpensive knives razor sharp! Highly recommended.

  • Emergency Thermal Blankets (4 Pack) Emergency Thermal Blankets (4 Pack) Quake Kare, Inc.
    New: $4.00
    Used: $6.99
    • >> Product Description - Emergency thermal blanket to be used as emergency shelter. Also great for camping, hiking, and surviving the cold outdoors. Excellent as liner of sleeping bag.
    • >> A life saver - I made a mistake buying a Texsport Willowbend Trail Tent [...] I ended up waking up in the middle of the night on top of a wet and cold sleeping bag. I grabbed one of these blankets, wrapped myself with it and stayed dry and warm. Highly recommend it to any one who camps out!
    • >> Exactly as described - The emergency blankets arrived and are exactly as described in the ad. The shipping was increadibly fast, and the size of the actual blanket pakaging is small enough to be convieniantly stored almost anywhere. I plan on keeping these in the glove box of my car, and may get more to keep around the house or store with our camping gear.
    • >> Not Quake Kare - I bought these for emergency readiness so have not used them yet. I am giving the three star rating only because the retailer sent a different brand from what I ordered. If you want Quake Kare do not expect to get it here.
    • >> Don't "Bug Out" Without Them! - These thermal blankets are an absolute must for your survival pack. Although they are designed to be used against your body while wearing very little clothing (maximum heating effect occurs when placed directly against your skin), they will help keep you warm while you are fully dressed. They are also thin enough to cut into pieces to put against your skin under your clothes (chest, legs and arms). As others have indicated, they do have a variety of uses. If you must improvise, adapt and overcome to survive, it will be much easier with these in your arsenal!
    • >> What's expected - These thrermal blankets perform exactly as advertised. They are very thin mylar or something, take up very little space, but are extremly good at reflecting heat. Will help keep things hot or cold. If used for an emergency, should protect one from the cold, however keep in mind these are only designed to reflect heat, basically reflect radient heat. You also would need some sort of insulation such as a regular blanket on top of this for total protection. Its a good product, well worth the cost, and if its all you have in an emergency, would certainly be helpful.

  • Kidde KN-COPP-B Front Load Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital Display Kidde KN-COPP-B Front Load Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital Display Kidde
    New: $25.88
    Used: $21.99
    • >> Product Description - Battery Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Includes A Backlight Digital Display Feature, Key Feature Adds An Advanced Level Of Protection, Includes Multiple Mounting Options Allowing Installation On A Wall Or Tabletop, Carefully Designed&Tested To Detect Carbon Monoxide Concentration In A Residential Environment.
    • >> I kidde you not - It is and does exactly what it's supposed to and every house must have one in NY by law.
    • >> I'm happy with it - After recently learning that CO detectors need to be replaced after 5 years, I went on the hunt to find new ones. The Kidde KN-COPP-B got great reviews at a very reasonable price so I ordered 2 of them. They arrived quickly, were easy to set up and are in great working condition. I'm very happy with this purchase.
    • >> CO Monitoring In Garage - I was going to use a forced air kerosene heater to warmup the garage for winter car restoration projects. The Kidde Alarm along with simple thermometer first allowed me to take CO level & temperature data to get a good sense of safe operating limits on cold days. After 2 hrs, CO levels rose to the 50 to 70ppm levels after a 25 to 50F warmup...wise time to shutdown! Also was able to check on any potential CO bleed into the attached house (none)as well as CO decay rate when heater turned off & temperature drops. All in all it worked very well & measurements one day to the next were reproducible/consistant. The only shortcoming not mentioned in Amazon ad, but well covered in Kidde brochure was the 30ppm minimum reading level inherent with the unit. I would have paid 10 to 20% more for unit that goes 10ppm or less.....but probably not realistic availability. Also used to spot check oil furnace & wood burning fireplace....all zeros. All in all it worked great & I just leave in furnace room when not actually heating garage.
    • >> PEACE OF MIND - I HAVE A 13 YEAR OLD RHEEM GAS FURNACE. I WAS TOLD BY MY MAINTENANCE TECH THAT SOME OF THE HEAT CONDUCTORS IN THESE UNITS CORRODE IN OLDER MODELS AND ALLOW CARBON MONOXIDE TO ESCAPE. OF COURSE HE SUGGESTED PURCHASING A NEW FURNACE (AND A/C UNIT) FROM HIS COMPANY FOR AROUND $10K. AS A RETIRED PERSON LIVING ALONE AND NOT HAVING AN EXTRA $10K TO SPEND, I NEEDED A DETECTOR TO MONITOR C.M. EMISSIONS. THE PEACE OF MIND OF SEEING THE "0" EMISSIONS ON MY ALARM IS WORTH THE PRICE OF TEN ALARMS. THANK YOU KIDDE AND AMAZON.
    • >> Manufacture Date - Had to replace my old Kidde KN-COPP-B Front Load that expired exactly 5 years after the manufacture date. I ended up buying three from Amazon because at the time they offered an amazing unbeatable deal and no other sellers could match the price. I've noticed a few complaints about the manufacture date on recently purchased alarms. Of the three I purchased in Dec 2009, one had a manufacture date of Feb 2009 and the other two were manufactured in March 2009. Even the the batteries included with each alarm had a Feb 2009 date stamped on them with a 2015 expiration date. Hope that squashes any concerns future purchasers might have. Oh yeah, this is a great battery operated carbon monoxide detector with a digital display and loud alert.
