Using the Beadlock loose tenon stock and system simplifies making mortise and tenon joints. I've made barstools and tables that have held up as well as using the "old fashioned" way of crafting a mortise and then a tenon. The fit is better and alignment is easier and surer. Unless you are some kind of masochistic purist, this is the way to go for strength and ease.

I bought this less than a week ago, and it has already proven quite useful. It was used as an emergency substitute for a much higher price bracket He-Ne laser at work in a biomedical optics laboratory, and it actually did quite a decent job in my optical setup. The level helped quite a bit during the alignment phase. It was also used in a home project where we were shoring up a sunken floor from under the house, and it proved useful again in showing where the low spots were. The friend with the sunken floor certainly liked it, and wants to buy one for himself now.

This baby beats the Honda and Yamaha which are similar and over priced. This also puts out more power than both for much less money. It is light weight and just as quiet as Honda. Starts on one pull everytime

I recently purchased the Kipor Sinemaster KGE3000Ti and am very pleased with the unit. It is a very well designed generator and does all that is stated. I bought the generator to replace a different make one which was very noisy. I wanted an emergency unit and the previous one I had was so loud I was reluctant to use it as it would be disturbing to the neighbors. The Kipor is quiet and provides enough power to run my refrigerator with several lights or the microwave with several lights. The Kipor is also very easy to start.

I have owned one of these tapes for almost three years now and I love it! While you might think that it being all hard plastic it would break easy when dropped, it won't. I have dropped it to many times to count and still it's all in one piece. And I give it a big plus for having the 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2', 5/8", 3/4", and 7/8" markings right on it.

I'm just a homeowner... but my dad does drywall texturing for a living and I grew up working in the trade during my summers as a kid. So I know good looking texture when I see it, but it's safe to say the previous owner of my house did NOT.

I decided to retexture some of the areas in my house where the previous owner had removed some wallpaper but never re-textured the wall. I debated between the Laco and the RedTail for about 2 days and couldn't decide. Both seemed similar but the Laco was about $150 less than the RedTail ($200 vs. $350). Unable to decide I emailed the owners of both companies and asked why I should buy their product over their competitor. The owner of the Laco, "Louie" replied to my email with a list of reasons his gun was superior. He was a great source of info and later on he even personally called me on the phone and gave me tips on how to mix the texture after I purchased it. The owners of the Redtail never replied to my emails. I bought the Laco from a local supply company and immediately noticed the quality. Unlike the RedTail the Laco completely breaks down for cleaning. Replacment parts are a fraction of the replacement parts for the RedTail (check the websites, the RedTails gaskets and parts are rediculously expensive for what they are!).

I'm thrilled with the results I got from my Laco texture gun. The initial investment is a bit steep (but still 50% less than the RedTail) but it's worth it in the results and the cost savings over the spray cans. The Laco is a great product, the owner of the company is a stand up guy, and I'm very happy I bought it. I'm just a homeowner with an eye for drywall texture... if you're a professional drywall guy or handyman then you NEED a Laco texture gun for pathwork. It's a real time saver.

Love the track light-I was looking for something different and also needed to move the light away from the electrical box location. This track light was a perfect fix and I also gets lots of positive comments on it's looks.

I have used this pump for 15 years, or a Little Giant just like it, for about 17 years. Easy to use and dependable. Have used this in my duck pond filter for a few months at a time. Cleaned it up and now use it for general pumping needs around the home. Love it, virtually no maintenance.

I used this pump along with a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier drained water into the pump; the pump carried the water outside via tubing, which I purchased at a hardware store. The pump only turns-on when the water reaches a certain level. I thought it was quiet and it was reliable. I used it for about 2 months. I no longer need the dehumidifier, so now I am trying to sell the pump. If I had to purchase a pump again, I would purchase this brand.

If Karcher has changed the hoses I apologize upfront, nonetheless, I paid good money for my 1600 Karcher from a big box store two and a half years ago. Right after the year warranty expired water sprung in 3 places from the (now brittle) hose line. Before you ask, I keep my pressure washer in our garage and the weather doesn't get extremely cold or hot. I noticed you would have to fight with the cord to get it to unkink itself or to wrap it after using. After I replaced the first cord (best price $30) I was EXTRA careful with it. One strategy that worked to unkink the cord was to hang it off our top deck (gently) to have the weight of the gun straighten out and make the hose cord more supple. But alas, again 1 year later, I sprung leaks in the hose once again. So, I just bought a Husky from the rival big box guys. I dare not buy a pressure washer I can't return locally. If anyone has suggestions about what can prevent this from happening I am open to them!

I have rented pressure washers that were in the 2500 psi. range. They were very powerful and even at times hard to control. This one though you have to be pretty close for really dirty cement but it does do the job the first time. I'm very pleased with the fact that this model is powerful, quiet and doesn't need gas! For the lady of this house this is GREAT! You can do it all and by yourself. For men, I would guess you probably want more power just because, but know this, this one will do the job. For the price and the fact that it doesn't need that ever expensive gasoline it's tops in my book. I'm really glad I bought it. Things I've cleaned in the past 3 days, gutters, pool cage, patio/lanai deck, lawn furniture and stucco exterior... the truck is next.
