User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Awesome tool!!
I was looking for a cordless screwdriver, I was ready to pic the yellow Dwalt, but I liked the price of this Kit. I got it and I can’t believe how good this tool is compare with my Skill, the charge is fast, the pack is coming with two batteries and the tool itself is handy . I do a lot of computer repair and I used to charge a lot the skill battery but with this tool I can go hours without even touch the other battery. I used it outside for my project in high speed , it works pretty good for a regular screwdriver. The only thing i regret is why I did no buy it long time ago…Just buy it!!

5 Stars Milwaukee does it again!
I purchased this tool to do electrical work. When putting in plugs and switches etc, it gets tiresome to tighen all those screws manually. This makes the task easier. Ive had another brand before but nothing like this. The torque cut-off is great. No more broken plugs from over tightening. The battery last and last (it comes with two). One hand tool/bit change is a nice feature. Trigger lock keeps you from running the battery down while in storage. The only option needed is a led. I recommend this to the pro as well as the handyman. Steve Davis

5 Stars Best Cordless Screwdriver Yet
This is a very nice cordless screwdriver. It’s smaller than most others and seems to be of VERY high quality like most Milwaukee tools even though this one is made in China. The lithium ion battery is the ONLY way to go. I gave up on nicad and nickel-metal hydride powered tools a long time ago. I would NEVER purchase a nicad or NMH powered tool again. From now on, it’s lithium ion powered ONLY for me.

5 Stars Great Tool, Great Price!
I purchased this model because I had been using the older model Milwaukee nickel cadmium cordless screwdriver and the batteries died, so I decided to purchase 2 new batteries for it and realized that I could get this entire kit for just a little bit more than the replacement batteries for the old model. I’m very glad I purchased the new one. I have also used a nickel cadmium version from AEG and Panasonic and they worked and looked almost exactly like my older Milwaukee.

This is my favorite tool I have ever purchased. I am a computer technician and I rebuild a lot of laptops. When you have to rebuild a laptop, there are around 50 screws, that’s not an exaggeration. With a manual screwdriver, the job is a pain in the butt. With a good battery operated screwdriver, the job gets closer to enjoyable.

When working on electronics with a cordless screwdriver it’s nice to have a couple of different speeds, which this tool has (200/600 RPM). A clutch is mandatory so you don’t damage the circuit boards. This tool has a great electronic clutch.

The batteries are the best I’ve ever used. They last a very long time and recharge in 30 minutes or less. With the lithium ion batteries you don’t have to worry about overcharging, or the memory issues that you have with nickel cadmium’s. I’ve ruined many batteries on my old screwdrivers not remembering to take them out of the charger, some of them actually melted to the point where they wouldn’t even fit in the charger anymore. This alone will save me lots of money. With this unit you can leave one of the batteries in the charger at all times so you will always be ready.

I have absolutely no complaints. Okay, maybe one but it’s not a big deal. Like many things in life, it’s made for right handed people and I’m a lefty. But over the years I’ve learned to use the forward/reverse switch properly with my left hand and it’s not an issue.

I’m not a handyman so I don’t do a lot of heavy duty drilling, but for electronic work, this is by far the best cordless screwdriver I’ve ever used!

One more thing, the quality of this screwdriver is excellent. The feel, the look, the performance, I really couldn’t ask for a better cordless screwdriver. I paid around $70 and after using it, I believe it’s worth twice that.

5 Stars Superb cordless screwdriver
This is the best power tool I’ve ever purchased. The battery lasts a very long time between charges. I recommend this heartily to anyone needing a powerful cordless screwdriver.

Above All Co L74995CN Forearm Forklift Lifting Straps

April 29, 2009 by Safe Online Shopping · Leave a Comment 

Above All Co L74995CN Forearm Forklift Lifting Straps




Above All Co. The Forearm Forklift moving straps were designed in 1997 by a professional mover who is still very active in the industry. After many years “on the truck” he felt compelled to invent a tool that actually eliminated the risk of floor damage. A claim that only the Forearm Forklift can make since the dolly and hand truck require the rolling of wheels on your sensitive floors. Coincidentally, he also designed them ergonomically to encourage proper lifting techniques and body mechanics. They are actually the first and only OSHA accepted moving tool ever to reduce potential injuries due to heavy and repetitive lifting.

Benefits:
- Reduces weight of item being carried by 66%
- Creates handles on any hard-to-handle pieces
- Great for going up and down most stairs or truck ramps
- Tight turning radius (excellent for 90 degree turns in hallways and switchbacks in staircases)
- Will never scratch wood floors, break tile, stain carpets or rip vinyl (linoleum)

The Forearm Forklift was awarded “Best New Product of the Year 1999″ by the Industrial Equipment News whose constituents are solely top professionals in the business.

Specification:
- Adjustability: up to 48 inches
- Weight Capacity: 600 pounds per pair (tested at 2,720 pounds)
- Material: super strength webbing, bonded thread at each joint and padding in each insert
- Padding: felt for comfort in any adjusted length
- Color: improved/changed to safety orange
- Dimensions: 9 feet 4 inches long
- Weight: 1 pound per pair
- Package Dimensions: 8 inches wide by 9 inches tall by 2.5 inches deep
- Package Contents: 2 straps

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Awesome Straps, Easy Lifting!
These straps worked out great. We were able to move stuff around without breaking a sweat, or my back. If you are moving something and need to walk a long distance, consider the shoulder strap set they sell on amazon as well. I now have both in my collection of tools, and I am sure people will be trying to borrow these left and right.

A great product! Highly Recommended

5 Stars Forearm Forklifts are great
I recently moved and thought I’d give this product a try. We moved several large pieces of furniture with no problems at all. They worked amazingly well on the front load washer and dryer, but didn’t work so well with the tv.(Sony 32″ xbr crt…very front heavy) The tv was to front heavy to balance on the straps, so that is not a flaw with the straps. We did have some trouble trying to maneuver a couch down the basement stairs, due to the tight clearance. One thing to consider is be aware of what is above you before you lift, as we almost knocked out a low hanging light. I would recommend these straps to anyone without hesitation.

5 Stars A Must-Have for Moving
The Forearm Forklifts definitely make it much easier to move heavy objects. I’m always afraid of hurting my back, and these things encourage me to use proper lifting technique (using the knees, not bending at the waist).

Also, sometimes objects are heavy to move because you can’t get a good grip on them, not because they’re heavy. The Forearm Forklifts support whatever you’re lifting from the bottom, so you can use your hands to hold the sides. Then I can concentrate on moving safely from point A to point B instead of worrying that I’m going to drop something.

5 Stars Strap Review
Arrived very timely and with excellent instructions, and a real tool for anyone who does moving of furniture or appliances. Even moving just one item saves the back and gives you lifting options.

1 Star Reduces weight of item being carried by 66% ???????
I question the supposed benefit:

- Reduces weight of item being carried by 66%

If you were lucky enough to take high school level physics, you know Weight is a force on an object due to gravity. You also know according to Newtonian physics, mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and is the amount of matter in an object. Weight doesn’t change unless you add or remove matter from the object or change the gravity acting upon the object.

To change mass into weight we use Newton’s 2nd Law which is F = ma. The weight is the force and gravity the acceleration, it can be rewritten as:

W=mg

W is the weight, measured in newtons. m is the mass, measured in kilograms and g is the acceleration due to gravity, measured in meters per second squared; it is equal to about 10 on the Earth. The exact value of Earths equatorial surface gravity is 9.7801 m.s 2.

If the manufacturer’s claim about reducing the weight of an object by 66% were true, I would purchase the straps and put pieces in my shoes so I could eat all the ice cream I want and still loose weight. That would be cool.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars extends the leathermen PERFECT
needed the bits on the day after their arrival - to fix the breaks on my bike on a bicycle round trip. Worth the money - very small - coming with an equal pocket as the tool it self.

5 Stars Worthy addition to the Wave
The changeable bits was one of the reasons I replaced my first generation Wave with the new model. With the 21 piece bit kit the Wave is a near perfect, for me, multi-tool. Living in a big old house on a 6 acre rural lot I find daily uses for my Wave. Like others, I have the most useful bits on one strip carried in the Wave’s sheath. Being able to find a secure fit for a wide range of screws makes the tool that much more versatile. You do always have to remember a multi-tool is a collection of compromises. For some jobs you will still need a dedicated tool to do it right. It still amazes me though how many times the Wave is up to the task.

3 Stars Almost everything
This is just as advertised. The pouch holds both sleeves of bits and will fit easily in a back pocket or on a belt. The one bit missing however is the bit necessary to perform maintenance on the Leatherman itself. I was disappointed when I discovered this.

5 Stars Just what the Doctor ordered…
I am a security guard, home fix-it guruess and hobbist computer builder. Let me tell you, this bit-kit is the perfect match to go with my Charge ALX.

While I’m working, I can have the wide flat- and Phillips-bits locked onto the tool just in case I need to open up a piece of equipment — a fairly common occourance, really.

Then, when I get home and have to repair a appliance or door lock, I switch to the appropriate bit there.

Then finally, when repairing/upgrading a desktop or laptop, I don’t have to search too hard for the appropriate bit to pop open a case or mount a new motherboard.

All-in-all, a real heaven-sent accessory.

4 Stars Very handy set
This adds a lot of usage to the Skeletool CX. The included Sheath is a bit too wide for the two bit carriers but not big enough for carrying the Skeletool as well.

The bits are scratched very easily.

First Alert CO615 Carbon Monoxide Plug In Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display

April 29, 2009 by Safe Online Shopping · Leave a Comment 

First Alert CO615 Carbon Monoxide Plug In Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display




Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don’t know they are suffering from CO poisoning until its too late. Since symptoms of CO poisoning are like the flu, you might not even know you’re in danger at first. That’s why a carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the CO you can’t see, smell or taste in the air.

The First Alert CO615 carbon monoxide alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. Installation is as simple as plugging it in to any wall outlet. Its easy-to-read backlit digital LED display gives you a clear read-out of current CO concentrations in parts per million. The alarm includes a battery back-up giving you peace of mind in a power outage. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit’s functionality. The unit monitors and re-alarms if carbon monoxide levels persist sounding a loud 85-decibel horn. An audible and visual low battery signal alerts you to replace the battery and an indicator alerts you when a battery has been removed. An end-of-life alarm of three chirps alerts you to replace the unit. One 9-volt battery is included. 5-year limited warranty. UL listed. –Bree Norlander

What’s in the Box
One carbon monoxide alarm, one 9-volt battery, and user’s manual

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Carbon Monixxide detector
The delivery was very fast, and I liked the easy to read digital display so much I ordered a second one to replace another detector that I had that lacked this feature (even though there was nothing wrong with the older unit.) The fact that there is a battery back-up also really sets my mind at ease.

5 Stars Excellent CO detector
This monitor does it all. The power cord allows for mounting the detector away from an AC outlet. The display is easy to read and is backlit when activated.

1 Star chintzy
Front latch will not close after you insert batteries. Well, that’s helpful. For the price, I expected this to be a better-made item. I don’t recommend this item for purchase.

5 Stars Great Product
I was using an older First Alert battery product and kept having false alarms. This unit is so much better than my old one and was easy to install and very easy to operate.

5 Stars peace of mind
This unit gives me peace of mind. I don’t have to wonder if I’m living on the edge of having a carbon monoxide problem. The display lets me know exactly where I stand. Its well worth the little extra cost.

MAGLITE ASXD026 D Cell Flashlight Mounting Bracket

April 29, 2009 by Safe Online Shopping · Leave a Comment 

MAGLITE ASXD026 D Cell Flashlight Mounting Bracket




The MAGLITE flashlight mounting bracket provides a convenient place to store D-cell flashlights. No more grappling in the dark when the lights go out; you’ll know exactly where to find the flashlight in the event of a power outage. The brackets are constructed of heavy-duty ABS plastic and mount to just about any surface.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A must-have for your mag-lite
I have a set of these mounted below the dash on my pickup facing the floor.

It’s tucked away just right so any occupants can see it clearly and get to it, but it’s out of sight of strangers, out of the way and not floating around the interior of the car. Well worth the money. I’m going to buy two more for other vehicles.

5 Stars Solid Brackets
Holds D-cell size Maglite very securely. Two are in the package but I olny used one clip on a wall and mounted it vertically. You might need both in a vehicle though.

3 Stars Maglite flashlight mounting clips
This product is exactly what the description states. The clips are not extremely strong, but will get the job done under normal use. Probably the best option for mounting a maglite to a surface.

5 Stars They worked great!
These clips worked geat for mounting a D-Cell Maglite in the trunk of the car. Or even on most surfaces.

5 Stars Excellent way to keep your emergency flashlight at the ready
I’ve had this mount holding my 3D Maglights at the ready behind my bedroom door and in the kitchen. I live in L.A., earthquake country. I mounted the holders into a stud and they’ve been holding my Mags at the ready for over five years. I remove them periodically to test and or use them. They lock in place very firmly. Mount the light lens down so dust won’t collect on the lens. They don’t slip out.

MAGLITE ARXX075 6 Volt Ni Cad Replacement Flashlight Battery

April 29, 2009 by Safe Online Shopping · Leave a Comment 

MAGLITE ARXX075 6 Volt Ni Cad Replacement Flashlight Battery




This 6-volt NiCd battery is a replacement battery for the Mag Instruments RX1019 rechargeable flashlight and will last up to 1,000 hours.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Fine Product
The item was shipped and arrived within a few days. The replacement battery works great for my mag light.

5 Stars This is the right one!!
If you have ever bought a short-life battery for your mag you’ll love this one. My distributor “saved” me money by switching to a cheaper battery that didn’t last. These are time tested and last me nearly 5 yrs. on the job and then I give them to my brother-in-law who gets another two out of them. I am very pleased with this product.

5 Stars flashlight battery
perfect in great condition it has been the second time I had bought this item from this seller ! quick response and brand new

2 Stars These batteries leaked for me
My mag charger flashlight was working well a month ago, but today I tried it and it was dead. Put it on the AC charger, as usual, but after 8 hours it was hot (the flashlights body) so I tried the light (still charging), and nothing happened. Upon opening the tailcap, white powder dumped out, and the insides are totally corroded. Thankfully it didn’t start a fire or explode. The flashlight is useless now. This was my second battery I’ve had but it leaked badly.

ps - I always charged it for at least 12 hours, and this battery was obtained directly from mag instruments.

5 Stars Good product
This is the first time I have bought this battery stick from a source other than Galls. My original battery that came with the flashlight lasted approx 3 years. Since then I have been re-ordering from Galls and have had to replace the battery every year. I had heard the supplier they get theirs from is sub-standard so I decided to switch and get this years battery from Amazon. So far so good, only time will tell…

Streamlight 72101 KeyMate with White LED Titanium

April 29, 2009 by Safe Online Shopping · Leave a Comment 

Streamlight 72101 KeyMate with White LED Titanium




The world’s smallest, brightest, one-ounce, machined aluminum, one LED flashlight! The Key-Mate runs longer and stays brighter. 100,000 hr. lifetime high-intensity LED with reflector optics 2.36 and. 9 oz

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Perfect
This little flashlight is brighter than God’s holy fire. I own a flashlight with 14 LEDs and the KeyMate is about the same brightness.

4 Stars More rugged than a Nano; not much brighter
I also bought the Streamlight Nano, and previously have used the Maglite Solitaire. The Keymate is larger than the Nano, but smaller than the Solitaire. Both the Keymate and the Nano are much brighter than the Solitaire, which is now languishing in my junk drawer. I was surprised that the Keymate is not all that much brighter than the Nano. I don’t know whether the Keymate lasts longer on one set of batteries than the Nano. Anyone have experience? Compared to the Nano, the Keymate is more rugged, in particular the bulb in the Keymate is protected by a lens. The Nano has no lens. Both turn on/off by turning the head. The head on the Keymate is harder to turn and there are more turns before it pops off, so the Keymate won’t accidentally turn on or come apart if it’s banging around with a bunch of keys. Surprisingly, the keyring clasp on the Nano is sturdier than the one on the Keymate. If small size is the most important feature, I’d go with the Nano. If ruggedness is the most important factor, go with the Keymate. Dependable operation is important, but unless you can get high quality replacement batteries at a low price, longevity may not be an issue. For both Nano and Keymate, I’ve seen ads for replacement batteries which cost about the same (or more!) than a whole new unit.

5 Stars Amazing keylight
I love this flashlight for my keychain. It is small, durable, and very bright. This is my second one to own. I don’t think I got as long of life as advertised from the first one, but it did last quite a while. These flashlights new are as cheap as the batteries it takes to run them. The thing I like most though is that unlike a lot of keylights you buy, you don’t have to keep your finger pressed on a button to stay lit. You can just turn it on and it stays lit and works very well.

5 Stars with this lighting industry- there are cheap and then the ones who work- YOU KNOW, “PAY ME NOW OR PAY ME LATER.”
WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY HAS ONE, TRIED AT LEAST 10-15 OTHER WITH THE HELP OF MY FATHER IN LAW…. PERFECTLY DESIGN FOR HEAVY USE TO JUST HELPING WHILE WALKING AT NIGHT… ALWAYS WORKS, O’YA, ALWAYS WORKS…………. PERIOD ……..1-302-528-0442

5 Stars Well worth the money
This is a great little flashlight for its size. I replaced my old key chain flashlight with this one and it blows it away. In fact I have a 12 LED flashlight and this one was brighter then that one. I have no problems with this flashlight, I read a few reviews about the thing turning on in your pocket, but I have had no issues with this. As a emergency pocket flashlight it is well worth the money.

MAGLITE LR00001 Replacement Halogen Lamp for Rechargeable Flashlight




Is your rechargeable flashlight out of order? This replacement lamp for MagLite’s rechargeable flashlight will get things lit up for you, in no time. Each MagLite lamp is specifically designedto deliver the brightest, whitest, far-reaching light beam available without compromising battery life.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars MAG LITE RECHARGEABLE - YOU NEED ONE
I own two mag lite rechargeables. I place them each near doors in our home. When the power goes out, I know right where it is. No fumbling. I LOVE THIS LIGHT!!!

3 Stars They’re not like the XENON ones we use to be able to get!
These work but they are not even close to putting out any where near the amount of light the older xenon bulbs use to. They’re not 7 bucks a piece either so I guess it might be a down side but you’re getting about 3x the bulbs for the money. If you want to get a really bright light maybe the maglite isn’t good enough anymore if we can’t keep it bright. There are a lot of other choices out there.

I’ve had mine for 14 years now on the beat and it still works. I’ve only had 2 batteries in it. I charge when it only needs to be charged. So in other words I’ve only bought one battery to replace the old one. It’s lasted a long time so I guess I can’t complain. I do find myself not using it a lot anymore because of the brightness of the flaslight. it’s like a regular 3 cell anymore.

5 Stars This bulb is great
I love this bulb that works in the rechargable flashlight. I have used this in power outages for an hour untill the battery died. It lit up the whole room nicely. The price has came down on these bulbs also.

5 Stars Mag Instrument LR00001 Replacement Halogen Lamp for Mag-Lite Rechargeable Flashlight
Exact factory replacement bulb for C-Cell Rechargeable Mag Light. Very bright, long life bulb. Easy to change. Recommended.

Reliance Controls THP103 AmWatt Generator Appliance Wattage Amps Load Tester

April 29, 2009 by Safe Online Shopping · Leave a Comment 

Reliance Controls THP103 AmWatt Generator Appliance Wattage Amps Load Tester




AmWatt Plug-In Digital Appliance Load tester. Only tester of its kind that gives a quick digital readout of Amps or Watts used by any plug-in appliance. Eliminates the need for expensive clamp-on meters and line splitters. Perfect for choosing the correct portable generator to purchase. Easy to use: 1. Plug appliance or light into AmWatt, 2. Plug the AmWatt into any 15A electrical outlet, 3. Turn ON the appliance or light. UL listed.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good product
I just got this item a few days ago and it seems to be working well, as advertised. I plan on getting a generator soon and I wanted this load tester so I can determine how many watts I need. The refresh rate is very fast and the numbers constantly change. Another poster stated that the amps does not have a decimal. That is incorrect. My unit does have a decimal for amps. My only concern is that wattage posted on the display is a little different from the manufacturers numbers. Not sure who is correct. Over all good investment.

4 Stars Counting Amps
I don’t normaly set time to do a review but this product is just a must for people that are trying to use a portable generator properly. The digital readout is clear and quite accurate as specifified by manufacturer’s specification sheet. This load tester is well worth the price as compared to other Load testers on the market that can cost up to $150.00. Also for all you that are trying to conserve energy, this device can show how much all your appliances and electronic equiptment draws power while on standby mode. Be informed and stop wasting money and watts!

5 Stars DON’T LET MY HOUSE BURN
My house almost caught fire while I was on vacation.

I had too many electrical appliances on one circuit . luckily, my best bud stopped over to feed my cats & saw the house was full of smoke.

He carefully looked for the source & saw a plug smoking which burst into flame as he watched.

He unplugged the source cord, opened the windows and saved my home from burning down.

I thought the fuse on the power cord would protect me….WRONG !

With this tester I have kept the amps down to a safe level on each of my outlets…..

This tester should be in everyone’s home…IT REALLY WORKS !

Very simple to use.

I give it 5 stars !

5 Stars Load tester
Excellent product. Does exactly what it is advertised to do.

Measures wattage or amperage with a simple click of a switch.

Very handy for measuring appliance loads for an RV.

I have two problems with this tool:

1. When I have the selector on “Amps” the last digit is supposed to be a decimal. So where is the dot then?! E.g. the display shows 37 instead of 3.7 (you wouldn’t want to have 37A running through your circuits at home, trust me). Perhaps I just have a bad one, but I doubt it because LCD segments don’t normally burn like LED segments.

2. The display is updated too often jumping from one value to the other all the time. It’s really annoying. The refresh rate should be longer, e.g. every 2-4 seconds. This is a design flaw done by people who probably did not understand well what AC is.

I was going to buy a Reliance transfer switch for my generator but in view of the poor quality of their tools I’ll buy another brand.
