I just recently replaced the copper tubing to two outside hose connections with this and it is so easy to work with and the flexibility of the tubing is awesome!"
"The husband and a friend recently updated our old galvanized water pipes in our farmhouse with PEX."
"I have used this around my houses with no regrets, as it works wonders, and allows me to replace my old copper pipes."
"It's pex."
"easy to cut with the tool and after clamping them with the required clamping tool, not only does it not leak but it can be rotated around the bronze connection with the clamp still on."
"I will consider Sharkbite and Amazon for all of my DIY projects before venturing out to the big box stores from now on."
"Worked great."
"Bought about 4 sets for a whole house plumbing project."

"Flex-Drain 51110 Flexible/Expandable Landscaping Drain Pipe, Solid, 4-Inch by 25-Feet. I bought this flexible pipe in order to complete a drainage project."
"Very good product, much better and flexible than the ones you find at the local home improvement stores."
"Bought this between rains for a 3" round downspout which would pool water in an uneven area of our brick walk."
"We bought a farm house in a very wet area of Sonoma County last summer and we wanted to keep water away from our house foundation."
"I decided to start my own water collection system and purchased some rain barrels and this flex tubing."
"Cracks have formed as well where the sections bend, possibly from cold weather during the winter months?"
"Not a good product, it crumples irreversibly very easy, not the solid corrugated pipe at home depot like I thought it was, I will not bury this for my drainage product bc the soild will crush it easily."

"I use the astro 3018 inflator to fill about 12 tires and it worked very well and exactly as described .Did not have any issues at all and Inserting the batteries was not bad."
"Purchased for motorhome tires, because it takes a long time to pump one up and if you have to bend over and hold the bit on the tire-stem your tire your back will hurt after finishing just one tire."
"Living in New England, we can have 20 degree (or more) temperature swings in the course of a few hours which wreaks havoc with tire pressures. Connect to a pressurized air source,attach the chuck to the valve stem and depress the trigger fully to inflate."
"On the first unit I did call them just incase I was doing something wrong, but just a faulty unit, they returned my call in a timely manner, and went through some things before deciding the unit was bad. The unit is big in the hand, and, as such it's easy to use, inflate/deflate is easy, dial is clear to see, and the fact it illuminates makes checking pressures easy in the dark part of the garage."
"I made a simple improvement to the inflator for comfort and safety while airing up my beadlocks. This allows me to stand (instead of kneeling on the rocks) and remain out of the way of the beadlock ring."
"I can check and set pressure in a set of 4 tires in about half the time as with separate inflators and gauge. I used to need 3 gauges; a low pressure for ATV tires, a "regular" for car and other general tires, and a high pressure gauge for heavy duty truck tires."
"If you over-shoot the mark, pull the handle 1/2 way and air will be let out of the tire."

"They could be made out of heavier material."
"OK, so you get 530 pieces, not evenly distributed thru the sizes."
