DEWALT DCD777C2 20V Max Lithium-Ion Brushless Compact Drill Driver
Style: Brushless. ERGONOMIC DESIGN: Compact (7.52 in.
Reviews
"At time of purchase, I paid $99 for the drill, two batteries, charger, and bag. This drill was used for drilling the pocket hols with the Kreg drill. I swapped batteries and the charge was complete long before the second battery ran out of juice."
"It's extremely small and lightweight, probably half of the weight I'm used to holding with normal NiCad battery drills. However after getting used to the lighter weight of the battery, it feels balanced and stable, with a good fit for my larger hands. If I'm lining up a bit or a screw in a circumstance that requires light, it's not easy to do if the drill is spinning. But I guess with this product they had to cut corners somewhere, and if I can still firmly grip a bit, I don't care what the chuck is made out of. While this makes sense, as UWO supposedly takes into account both speed and torque, it's confusing. According to this article on ProToolReviews (http://www.protoolreviews.com/buying-guides/max-watts-out/13109/), in/lbs can be approximately calculated with the following formula: Speed (RPM) x Torque (inch pounds) / 560 = Max Watts Out (estimated)."
"Bigger, heavier, slower, less power, lower capacity batteries, slower charger, soft case, no belt or bit holder. More detailed comparison of DCD771 and DCD780: - Lot longer (8.7" vs. 7.5"). - Heavier (3.6 lbs vs 3.4 lbs). - Less powerful (300 UWO vs. 350 UWO). - Slower (0-450/0-1500 RPM vs. 0-600/0-2000 RPM). - Two 1.3Ah vs. 1.5Ah batteries. - Slower non-temperature compensating charger (60 mins vs. 30 mins). - Contractor bag instead of a hard plastic case. - No belt clip, bit holder or bit, but a place for both. - Drill, battery & charger Made in China vs Assembled in USA from International parts. BATTERIES & CHARGER: The Li-Ion 20V batteries have multiple cells which can individually drift, the charger can correct for this drift under known conditions: temperature. The 771 charger can only accurately charge the batteries when both the battery and charger are between 65 and 75 F. Whereas the included charger for the 780 has a cold/hot delay to compensate for cold/hot batteries. I typically go two days on a charge when I'm using it a lot (drilling holes, driving screws, mixing stain), otherwise weeks. DRILL PERFORMANCE: The 771 arrived 12-2, charged the battery until the charger stopped flashing."

Fiskars X27 Super Splitting Axe, 36-Inch
Advanced bevel convex blade geometry adds power and makes the blade easier to remove from wood.
Reviews
"I know I have reviewed this before, its just every time I use this Axe I like it more and more, anyway to I did a quickie unedited video of me splitting a few rounds, I have split Doug Fur, Aspen, Walnut and Hickory, some rounds take several hits, and is still 1/2 the work of using wedges and mauls..."
"The antique on the left can be thought of as a dull cutting axe with a broad elliptical cross section. Apparently a clone of the True Temper Sledge Eye here on Amazon, it is dull and heavy with an aggressively tapered head. The Fiskars apparently seeks to bridge the gap between these two approaches with its heavy yet razor sharp continuous wedge design. To insure not getting my hand broken, I have to hold it loosely at completion, resulting in a swing akin to throwing the ax into the wood. What garners the four stars is that the Fiskars is rugged, and I don't imagine breaking the head off for some time, if ever."
"These are hard, edge-holding steel wood cutters AXES. I love the heft, balance, design, grip and impressive durability."
"This ase is awesome."
"Possibly, but I have a true temper 6.5 lb maul(USA made), that I know for a fact I have split wood containing old nails and wire, and have never chipped the blade. I have split rounds with the X27, that I couldn't with the maul and vice versa. I have made the comparison as fair as possible by choosing rounds of similar diameter and same species. Also I have attempted to split wood with the X27 only to go and grab the maul and I have grabbed the X27 when the maul wasn't effective."
"Temp was below freezing... maybe it is more brittle in the cold?"

Leatherman - Wingman Multitool, Stainless Steel
With plenty of handy tools, and backed by a team of designers, assemblers, and manufacturing crew from Portland, Oregon, this is one amazing value. With plenty of handy tools, and backed by a team of designers, assemblers, and manufacturing crew from Portland, Oregon, this is one amazing value. FIT MORE FUNCTIONALITY: The Wingman is equipped with 14 tools, including a knife, pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters, a wire stripper, scissors, a package opener, bottle and can openers, a file, and a ruler. The Wingman only requires one hand to open and use all the tools, even the ones that aren't accessible from the outside.
Reviews
"There have been excellent reviews of both the Leatherman Wingman and Rebar, as well as all the others, but because there are so many models, it can be hard to choose which one to buy. I hope to help in the choice of economical "Full-size" multitools, as Leatherman calls a number of models. The "full size" line of tools are all about 100mm long when folded, and include the Charge TTi, the New Wave, the Rebar, and the Wingman. If your most common use of the tool will be for cutting with the knife blade(s), then the Wingman would be more convenient. If you want a multitool small enough to carry in your pocket, one that you will keep in your desk or kitchen junk drawer, if you will mostly use the knife, and find a scissor handy, I'd recommend the Wingman. If, however, you want a more fully competent multitool, that can compare well with the much more expensive Wave and Charge, a tool that includes excellent file, awl, and superior wire cutter, choose the Rebar. In any case, I have an "old Supertool", made when they still forged "USA" into the pliers, and for the life of me I can see no difference in quality. (Incidentally, they are still made in the USA, but a stupid California law keeps them from stamping it on the tool.)."
"My most recent one is the Surge which is an incredible multitool but too large and heavy to carry in anything but my EDC bag. The blade had a pretty rough edge on it so I cleaned it up a bit and it is quite sharp. The package opener is a great idea and I think this is an addition that should be in more of their tools in the future. I would pay more money for sure if it was done in the same quality as their other knives, or even upgrading to a Titanium model. However, for emergency kits, the car, in the drawer, EDC etc this is an excellent choice."
"The Charge Is by far the best multitool for me with the best quality, so in the scale where Charge is the best the Wingman is pretty good. The package opener has become my third most used tool behind the pliers and the scissors. Offer spare parts of their models so the enthusiast can modify or customize their tools. And to be able to buy different parts and we decided when or how use them, for example. I never use the saw in the Charge or the ruler in the wingman but I really use the bit lock and the package opener, and during weekends I used a lot the knife and the bottle opener."

"I had to do this on 20% of the bins or they will not slide properly."
"The drawers are pretty small, so perfect for beads."
"I ended up making my own out of the stuff you can find in the craft section at Walmart."
"Love it!!"
"I needed a storage cabinet for the multitude of small parts, pieces, screws, etc. They slide easily without excessive play or slack that might cause you to bind the drawer. The biggest complaint that I have about the unit concerns the options for dividing the drawer space. This is useable, but I'd still like to be able to divide the drawer in the short dimension (across) such as you can with some of the Plano storage boxes. True, you can order additional dividers, but at $8 for 16 of the small ones and $11.41 for 6 of the larger ones, it inflates the cost of the unit beyond what I believe is it's value. Finally, the dividers that are supplied are molded into the back frame of the unit. Perhaps not, but it bothered me that I had to remove some bracing when the lateral stability of the unit was already marginal. I've since purchased a Darice JD Bead Storage box (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005572FQU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and a Plano 2-3600 Plano Stowaway Box (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CKIG4NC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which are much better suited to my needs for small parts storage."
"My kids have loved them and being able to find small pieces easily."
"I will continue to buy these organization bins any time I need parts storage."
"The whole unit is cheap flimsy plastic, cannot imagine how it will hold up if you put screws, nuts and washers in it."

Reviews
"the treegator is a well built device with many not-so-obvious features and also a few drawbacks. it can: *give deep penetrating water to roots that would take a person with a hose about 20mins to do per tree. *it can be stored flat as a shopping bag when not in use. *it can (when full) provide some stability to the root ball during high winds. it can't: * it can NOT be filled and then transported to the tree,when unzipped(when full) the bag sprawls out and can not be rezipped (until you empty the bag).this is important to anyone who wants to water a remote tree with no hose access."
"We have purchased these bags two years in a row, now, to help with new trees we have been planting in our yard."
"I first became aware of the Gator Bagsas a result of watching my local Park's Dept using this item to water many of the new trees they had planted in city parks."
"I live in central California, the drought and watering restrictions had really started to put the hurt on my trees."
"It was easy to set up and fill with water."
"These bags hold up well and are a cheap and great insurance policy to making sure your new tree is watered."
"I planted my tree about 3 months ago and it is looking really good now and growing on its own with just the watering it gets from my sprinkler system twice a week and/or rain."
"In fairness to the provider, I did not contact them but frankly I do not have time to mess around with items like this."

Charge your compatible Galaxy smartphones, and other Qi-compatible devices, without the need to plug your device in to a wall charger or USB port.
Reviews
"Using the same wall adapter I plug my phone into the wall and it takes about 90 minutes to charge. Why I like it: -Don't have to fumble with cord and plug (especially at night going to sleep). -Don't have to worry about angling the plug in socket to get phone to charge. -Phone's USB port not charging/working?"
"All three chargers work great and my wife also uses them for her Galaxy S7 which also has a Caseology case."
"If you have a Samsung S6 Edge Plus or Samsung Note 5, you will have issues with this charging pad and it will shut off (blue blinking light) after xx amount of minutes has passed. Place your phone onto the wireless charging pad and the blue light will start pulsating (again if it is blinking, that's bad) and "Daydream" mode will fire up. I had my Sprigen case on my S6 Edge Plus and the phone detected the wireless charging pad with no problems."
"Some people are just expecting this to be magical or didn't know what they were getting, some people may have a defective phone or charger. This is an excellent product, I've had other wireless chargers for other phones and this definitely is better than most."
"Soft rubber to protect phone (most have this but some did not, or had the rubber in weird pattern that didn't fully protect). 4."
"The wireless charger also a bright blue light to indicate that it is charging, which turns to bright green when fully charged."
"The ones that say fast charge on them or have the slots on the bottom for the fan work fine."

Collect water that's great for plants and save money on water bills. Rotationally molded to hold up against cracking and splitting, even in winter. Connectable with other Rain Wizard 50 for expanded storage (Linking kit sold separately).
Reviews
"UPDATE: I've had it for a year and a half now in the horrible, unforgiving heat of the sun. Get yourself some black plastic or glass paint bottles from the craft section and paint the rings and the cracks on the barrel. The barrel looks much better in person than in the picture. After reading reviews, I saw that the spigot is too low for a hose, so I when attaching it, I stopped when the spigot was turned sideways."
"For installing, just saw off the bottom part of your existing gutter, get a $2 flexible gutter elbow at the hardware store and stick the barrel underneath. For connecting two of them, I got a $10 3/4" diameter hose at the hardware store and just stuck it on both the connector knobs."
"I did add a mid point faucet as well so that the barrel can be drained off into our gutter system."
"The quality was much better than the few we looked at in person at Lowes and Home Depot as well."
"Holds my rain water for plants."
"Set it on a stand to put a water tub/water can under the tap to fill."
"I live in an area where it gets to 25-45 below zero, so I did not risk leaving water inside since at those temperature it can get damaged, but that would be the case with any other rain barrel."
"It is 18 inches in diameter and 28 inches tall."

"don't use this to try to get mud out of your gutter but it works well for leaves and small sticks wet or dry."
"This unit is not easy to use."
"Works wonderfully, and saves me being up on a ladder 2 stories off the ground."

"in them). ****************************************************************************************. *** The truth about actual label costs (Pictures will be attached to this review) ***. ****************************************************************************************. I printed out labels using a Brother P-Touch PT-2030 and the DYMO LabelManager 160 and these were the results of my findings: As of the time of this writing, the DYMO 1/2" D-1 label roll is selling for $14 and includes 23 feet (276 inches) of label. As of the time of this writing, the Brother 1/2" P-Touch label roll is selling for $11 and includes 26.2 feet (314 inches) of label. I printed two labels that had this text in 24pt BOLD "TEST-XX-01". The DYMO label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 2.75" in length which would allow 100 labels to be printed on a $14 roll. *** $0.14 per label. The Brother label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 4" in length which would allow 78 labels to be printed on the $11 roll. *** $0.14 per label. *** TIE ***. I printed two labels that had this text in 24pt BOLD "255.255.255.255". The DYMO label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 3.375" (3 3/8") in length which would allow 81 labels on $14 roll. *** $0.17 per label. The Brother label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 4.5" in length which would allow 69 labels on a $11 roll. *** $0.16 per label. *** BROTHER WINS ***. The DYMO would win with smaller labels, it seems that my first label tested is about the tie breaker in size. Bottom line: If you print SMALL labels, you will get more for your money using a DYMO label printer with less waste per label. If you print larger labels, you will get more for your money using a BROTHER label printer even though it waste more per label. The DYMO generally prints more labels per roll than the brother, even though there is less label per cart, however the Brother label is cheaper at this time."
"It's the perfect size. It prints super clear. It has a button for clip art designs and pictures! It can write multiple lines on a single strip! Just grab this and a 2 pack of 23 foot long rolls and you'll love the thing! The tape cutter is very smooth and comes out from the top instead of the sides like other label makers!"
"I love labeling things and was so happy to receive this label maker."
"This is the only new Dymo labeler I could find that used that same cartridge, so I bought it and it's actually pretty cool! And you print right from the computer!"
"It does the job, and as an added bonus, it's actually easy to peel the backing off. The labeler is fun to use and comes with a rechargeable battery."
"Why did no one mention it requires a power adapter sold separately (mentioned in a blip) or a bunch of AAA batteries?"
