CCT Heavy Duty Portable Rebar Cutter cut up to #8(1″)

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

The 120V outlets work as advertised. The ability to rotate the prongs is a plus as it can be adjusted to most if not all outlets.
The USB power fails if more than one item at a time is plugged into the surge protector. Even if, say your phone is fully charged, if you go to connect CCT RC-258C another item to run or charge, the surge protector will not supply the power that both items demand. The items that are connected will act as if they have been disconnected from their power source, then once the surge protector accumulates enough power(not certain, but seem to act as if there are capacitors)to start supplying power once again the items connected to the USB ports start to operate briefly until the surge protector cannot supply enough power for the two items.
As stated before, it will supply ONE item with power, without a problem. But will not supply enough power for two, even if one item is fully charged.

AirWise Air Purification and Filtration System Features & Specifications Airwise Home Air Purifier – HEPA The Airwise Purifier is a brand new, revolutionary design with advanced technology. This new technology out performs most normal high efficiency particulate air purifiers (AKA HEPA) as well as other purification methods such as electrostatic filtration, ultraviolet light, ozone and air ionizers.

The Airwise Purifier destroys microorganisms like bacteria and viruses keeping the air you breathe safe and clean for you and AIRWISE MOEL 2300 your family.One of our favorite things about the Airwise machine is just how incredibly quiet it really is! Forget about the grid units or noisy fan machines – the Airwise is as quiet as a light bulb, has no grid or filter and requires absolutely no cleaning or filter replacement. The only replacement part needed for the Airwise is a photocatalytic lamp module which is replaced only once a year.What is Photocatalysis?Photocatalysis is a FDA approved purification process which is used in poultry and pork processing (kills salmonella and destroys E. coli). Photocatalysis is also used to remove harmful pesticides from fruits and vegetables.

Leica 765752-R ROTEO 35 WMR Rotating Red Beam Laser Kit

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

The only convenience problem that I can foresee is getting replacement blades:
Dremel is carried by big box hardware stores; hobbyists who do crafts on the spur of the moment and do not need to rip open walls, will appreciate the around-the-corner convenience.
Rockwell is carried by speciality woodworking stores or the internet; the Home Proj. kind of guys have to plan ahead before ripping into a wall for remodeling. So ordering parts in advance should be a no brainer.

I also really liked the Rockwell case, it is created with niches and screw-downs to hold lots of blades/attachments in place.

I looked at the Bosch 12v battery operated version, and that would have been a good choice but I do not want to have numerous 18v tool systems and chargers for the various Leica 765752 power hand tools that I use. I read that the Bosch delivers 20 min of battery power and I might need more time than that between charges.

Starrett 123Z-6 Master Vernier Caliper In Finished

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Calipers measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object. They make inside, outside, depth, or step measurements, according to their type. Calipers are commonly used in architecture, metalworking, mechanical engineering, machining, manufacturing, carpentry, and medicine. The simplest calipers have two legs to mark the two points and require a ruler to take the measurement. More complex calipers use two sets of jaws instead of legs and have up to two graduated scales. Vernier, dial, and digital calipers give direct and accurate readings and are functionally identical, having a calibrated scale with a fixed jaw, and another jaw with a movable pointer that slides along the scale. The vernier caliper has a scale sliding parallel to the main scale for an additional, fractional reading to improve measurement precision. The dial caliper has a circular dial with a pointer on a toothed gear rack replacing the second vernier scale. As with the vernier, this second measurement is added to the reading from the main scale to obtain the result. The dial caliper is used also for measuring size differential between two objects. The digital caliper takes the same sort of differential measurements as the dial caliper by zeroing the display at any point along the slide, with an LCD (replacing the dial) that displays a Starrett 123Z-6 single, easily read value in both English and metric units. Some digital calipers can hold data readings between measurements and send them to data collection devices.

Starrett F2730-3 AGD Group 3 Wisdom Plus Electronic Indicator

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

Are there “better” sharpeners on the market? Probubly. But as an all around sharpener (I have several styles by several different manufacturers) this Starrett F2730-3 little gem is hands down THE BEST! Otherwise I would not have spent a week tracking this one down on the internet after all my local suppliers were “out of stock” or had moved on to more expensive less useful models. The thing folds up and goes in my pocket, it also has a handy hole for a lanyard which my new one is on. It does a great job on my chefs knives, my hunting knife and my serrated kives as well. It’s easy for my big fingers to hold on to and steady on the edge of the counter when I am sharpening. I bought an extra one to put away in case this one gets “lost” or I give mine away to a friend. (In case you can’t tell I really like it and would buy another one in a minute flat!)
