Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Refinements
from: Toro

January 01, 2007
All I can say is "WOW!" After reading about this blower/vacuum in Consumer Reports, and how well it worked, I decided to purchase it. I searched all over the internet, but found that Amazon's "amazing" price of just under $70 was unbeatable. That included free shipping. My blower/vac arrived the next day. Lucky me! Anyhow, It has PLENTY of power. Matter of fact, it has more power than the gas powered backpack blower I had, which pleasantly surprised me. I used the Toro to clean my gutters, and blow and vacuum my leaves, and it did all 3 jobs easily. Again, I'm "blown away" with the amount of power it has. The only "inconvenience" is having to pull an extension cord around with it, but you can solve that by buying the longest extension cord you ... Read More:

P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Refinements
from: P3 INTERNATIONAL


The instrument arrived well packaged in perfect condition. Exactly what I expected. I am very pleased with the features. Simply to use. The small one page "manual" that came with it is very clear. Is very important to use it with the "Power Strip Liberator" (a short cord extension) in some crowded places where could be difficult to read the screen on the instrument.

Dremel 761-03 7,000/14,000 RPM Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Refinements
from: Dremel


This item "works" but my dog does not like it - after a month of trying to get him used to it, he still won't let me file his nails with it. I will keep trying but I'm not optimistic.

Very satisfied with my purchase of the 12 outlet Belkin surge protector. It allows for wire management and has a great warranty plan. Easy to use, and enables me to run multiple sources from one outlet. Give this an A+ with excellent shipping.
Thanks.

Dremel 750-02 Minimite 13,000 RPM 2 Speed 4.8-Volt Cordless Rotary Tool

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Refinements
from: Dremel


Purchased primarily to file dog's claws e.g. to shorten them so they don't become too long. Dog is long-haired and despite my efforts to trim hair in the vicinity of his paws, it seems as if I'd have to trim his legs an inch or more to avoid the hair becoming entangled in the rotating device. Neither he nor I enjoy that! Am hesitant about continuing to use it. About ready to revert back to the hand-operated claw trimer formerly used.

Super-Bright 9 LED Heavy-Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight - Gunmetal Silver

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Refinements
from: eToolscity


I thought I would take a chance and get one that doesn't have the spotty on/off problem so many others have reported. No such luck. It doesn't turn on when you click it. If you reseat the battery, or jiggle it around, it will eventually turn on and work, but when you need a flashlight, you need a flashlight, not one five minutes later.

A consistent design flaw or poor construction process.

On the plus side, it looks great, and when it works, it works well. I gave it to my 4-year old and bought a Smith and Wesson 28 light LED flashlight.

Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool

Childrens Toy Shop > Tools & Hardware > Refinements
from: Leatherman

March 15, 2008
I bought this without even looking at one in real life. I was a little apprehensive about the purchase but it looked too cool.

It showed up about 3 days after I bought it and I use it every day now. The CX has the better knife and still has a nice tip to it. Some knives break off when using them but not this one. It is a nice shape to save your hands a bit and looks very unique. It is basically a knife and pliers. The other bottle opener works good and the screw driver is alright but not for anything serious.

Title says it all really. I purchased 4 of these for different rooms. 1 died in like 2 weeks. the others limped along for a few more months with the fans intermittently working.
