Automotive Reviews

Have always used the regular California Duster. Time to replace the one I have had for years. Thought I would try the Extra Large duster. This has twice the dusting surface, it is faster and does the same great job. I have a black Town and Country which shows dust! This does a great job in just a few minutes. A great product.

This duster is heavy duty, does a great job and is much bigger that I thought it would be. Overall I am very happy with this item. If you need a car duster this one is a home run.

The Super Duster has been very efficient in removing dust off my new 2005 Camry XLE and keeping her shiny between washes. Along with trimming car wash expenses, the full knitting minimizes twists of the wrist inherent with one-sided dusters to keep upright.

I recommend this product most highly.

The Uniden PRO538W works great! As long as you have a good quality antenna set up, and take the time to tune everything with an SWR meter this CB is amazing. I use it for off-roading, so the range wasn't a big concern to me, but rest assured, when properly set up, this thing can get some killer range on the highway. The ability to access weather channels is a nice feature too, I use it more than I thought I would. Having the PA function is a good novelty, when hooked to a speaker you can have a lot of fun talking to people on the street as you pass by. Great way to pick-up chicks. So overall, a great product, as long as you set it up and tune it properly. When matched with a good antenna, this CB won't be beat.

The Uniden Pro538W is a fantastic radio. The front-fire speaker is very clear compared to my other CB. This makes a huge difference because many CB'ers have an accent and lingo that I have trouble deciphering. The microphone is built for heavy use. It has a hefty coiled cable with a connector that screws on to the radio. You don't need to worry about the mic coming unplugged. The display has an LED meter that indicates the strength of signals that you are receiving and transmitting. I think the meter is too small to look at while I'm driving down the highway. You can also pick up NOAA weather broadcasts. The squelch and RF gain adjustments work great.
I purchased this radio with the Wilson Lil-Wil magnetic mount antenna. The combination work great in my mini-van. I've taken this radio on a couple of road trips and have never had a problem reaching other drivers.

The previous review that mentions antennas are key to a good CB setup is correct. For a normal CB user I would recommend either the Wilson lil' Wil or the Wilson 500 antenna. Both are magnetic mount antennas. The lil' Wil antenna is a relatively small antenna and it's only around $39.00. Actually any Wilson CB antenna will be fine. Also, to do a good job at setting up your antenna you should purchase an SWR meter. They are not expensive. You only need the meter connected inline between the radio and antenna when you are adjusting the antenna. Once you are done adjusting the antenna you can take the meter out of the connection and connect the antenna directly to the radio. Don't be fooled by cheap ordinary CB antennas like you will find at radio shack. Do not settle for anything less then a Wilson antenna. Cobra and Uniden both make fabulous CB radios so either make will be fine.

We keep coming back to order more - everyone in office wants one of these heaters!

This model does everything as billed. However, my previous experiences with recent BD heaters have not demonstrated long term reliability. The BD heater line has been discontinued which is unfortunate as they do perform well while they work. Reliability is a problem.

The best thing about this heater is it's small size- it can fit almost anywhere. This does not heat up a room by any means but it is great by the bed or couch, perhaps an office cubicle if you are able to keep it near. It takes a little time to warm up but it is small so this should be expected. The remote is a nice bonus, but the buttons on the heater are nice and big as well; operation is a cinch. It is about as loud as a regular fan this size, not too bad when you get used to it- I hardly notice it now. (Note: It might take a couple uses before it performs at full capacity heat-wise; not a real problem.) The safety features are comforting as well- it turns itself off on timer, extreme heat and/or at the slightest tip.

this is one of only few BEST compressors on market. can handle up to 5 roofing coil guns for all day. only one competition - Roll Air.

This Compressor is the standard on all the job sites I have been on. Mainly because they are tough and durable. Tossed around, pushed off a truck, even run over by a truck. I've seen this compressor survive some serious blows (pardon the pun). Emglo is the way to go with compressors.

I recently installed this box on a late model F-150, x-tra cab, 6-1/2' styleside. Here are a few installation tips that aren't in the instructions.
Before placing the box on the truck, adjust the gas struts to the lowest position. This will prevent the lid from hitting the rear window trim, which juts out on F-150's. There's an adjustment nut at the bottom of each one. The box can then be installed all the way forward. I used regular nuts until I got things just right, then removed them and installed the locknuts (one at a time). This made the installation much easier. The plastic washers will keep the "J" bolts from falling out once they're positioned. The instructions call for some drilling, but with a little ingenuity, or a small child to help you, the two front "J" bolts will hook into the 1/2" holes located in the front of the bed. They are long enough, but there isn't much room under there, so the kid can help you get the bolts through the holes and hold them in position. You'll have to leave the gas struts adjusted all the way down, but the lid still opens far enough.
I believe this is the highest quality truck box of its type.
Installation is quick and easy. The interior mechanisms and gas struts are surrounded by protective shields. The steel tray has slots in the side that fit over tabs on the box to keep it from sliding. The latch buttons are easily accessable, even on a 4wd truck, and it has a thick clearcoat that should keep it new looking.

I'VE BEEN A BRICK LAYER FOR OVER 30 YEARS "AND" THIS R-117 BOX IS THE STRONGEST BOX I'VE EVER SEEN. EVERYDAY I FILL THIS BOX WITH THE HEAVIEST SAWS AND HAMMERS YOU CAN GET AND STILL NOT A DAMN DENT.

This is the best box going. I looked long and hard before purchasing a Weather Guard 117. It is eight inches wider than most standard boxes which helps for those extra tools that you want to have on the job. The red push button is easy to opperate even when your hands are full of tools. It has compartments on the bedrail for those handy items that always seem to find their way to the bottom of other boxes. I looked at Dee Zee, Delta and other popular brands but none had the quality and conviences that Weather Guard puts into their boxes.

This compressor replaces our old two stage 5 hp compressor which lasted 15 years. Our shop runs our compressor 6 days a week for 10 hours per day set at 160 psi. This unit has much more air capacity and is a little quieter also. Hope to get at least the same life out of this new machine. Not sure if I should have looked for one with a cast iron pump. All is good so far.

Amazon had the compressor shipped quickly. It arrived on time with free shipping and a lift gate delivery with no extra charge.

The compressor was bought for use in restoration/modification of autos in a private garage. The compressor replaced a 26 gal 5 Hp peak oil less compressor. The new compressor is quite and quick. From empty to full (175 psi) is just over 6 minutes. When the compressor kicks on with a DA sander running it take just around a minute to fill to 175 psi. The air is many times dryer than what I had before. The air filters are lasting many times longer.

I took delivery of my new Porter-Cable compressor only 7 days after ordering it. And free shipping too! Amazon did a great job getting it to me quick.
This compressor suits my needs to a Tee. Although I use it in my garage, it is a commercial rated compressor. I rate it 5-Stars. It looks great also. The massive motor and compressor actually runs much quieter than the 3.5hp oil-less I replaced. I decided on this model because I wanted the air volume to run any tool I have, without the fear of it being under powered. I can run my DA Sander continuously and when the compressor kicks on at 145psi, it fills back up in just a minute, even while I continue with my DA.
This Porter-Cable compressor in my garage was long over due. After owning it now for several months, I can honestly say, it suits all of my compressor needs. It operates great and supplies plenty of air power to run any of my air tools.

You won't find a sturdier hitch, even if you pay more. I purchased this Grizzly Hitch and attached it to my bumper and the thing is rock-solid. The price is great, the product is outstanding, and they have fast shipping. If you're looking for a bumper mounted Hitch Receiver, there is no reason not to buy from this merchant!

This is one heavy piece. It can be bolted with up to 6 -5/8" bolts...Your bumper will rip off before this thing breaks. Super price, super fast shipping!

It is like a bulldozer. You cant break it. Most ice scrapers are pansy devices. You cant take them and smash ice. This thing is amazing. You can take it and smash it into your windshield and the teeth break the ice. Then use it like a block plane to scrape it off. The blade conforms to the shape of the windshield. There is so much incredible engineering in this thing if you examine it closely. It is like the better mouse trap, only it IS better.

This product is the best. Last year, my kids were fighting for the right to remove the ice and snow from my car. This tool just demolishes the ice. And the snow mover (that is another one of their products) is great for pushing the snow off of the hood and roof of my car.... without me getting covered with snow doing it.

I can't wait for this winter... and I have already stocked up on these for friends and family for Christmas.

I purchased the Preval Spray gun to paint some flush mount speakers to match the walls in a house that I am remodeling. It was easy to use, and the paint coverage is excellent. Just be sure to follow the recomendations for thinning the paint.

This is not going to replace a compressor and spray gun but it does a pretty fine job for what it is. Preval sprayers are infinitely better than can spray paint and varnish. With Preval you can actually put a mirror finish on metal, wood, or fiberglass. I once refinished a complete 1960 era birch wood kitchen, spraying high gloss polyurethane and did a fantastic job- no drips or sags.I used more than a dozen of the power units, but they're only $3. I've done spot repairs and small spot paint blending on my boat,very successfully. But I never did a car.. to big of a single spray. Preval will spray anything, just thin it down as directed on the directions, fill the bottle, screw the power unit on top and spray away. There's plenty of propellant in a power unit and they clean up real easy with a spare bottle of thinner that you spray thru for cleaning. I believe 1 power unit allowed me to get almost 2 coats of varnish on both sides of a door. Preval provides a reasonably nice finish for almost no investment. You'll be surprised with the product. Highly recommended.

No other hand cleaner out there comes close to this. Leaves no smell on your hands either. Only problem is I can't get it in the store.

As a diesel mechanic I can tell you unequivically that I have never found a better cleaner than Kresto Select. The crushed walnut hulls scruff awesome try it and you'll see.
