Black & Decker NS118 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper

July 6, 2010

Cheap Black & Decker NS118 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper Review

I’m a hobbiest woodworker. After a few hours in the shop, planing, jointing, cutting, routing and sanding; dust is everywhere and on everything. I do what I can with dust collection efforts but because my workshop doubles as a garage and at the end of the day I have to be able to pull a car in, I don’t have the room for a dedicated dust collection system. In the past I had resigned myself to wipping down everything in the garage at the end of the day, then sweeping everything into one area and finishing with the shop vac. Needless to say this is time consuming and not something I look forward to doing. Those days are a thing of the past. I bought this blower at my local lowes store. Setup was a breeze. slide on two nozzle pieces, slide in the battery and your up and running. The item is light weight and quiet. Does not require hearing protection. I put away my tools and then break out this machine. Now, instead of wipping down everything in the shop I just run the blower over them. The stream of air is strong enough to move small pieces of scrap wood out of the garage and into one spot so I don’t have to bend over a dozen times from one side of the shop to the other. Sawdust can be blown right out into the yard for good composting. What took me close to an hour to do with a broom and shop vac now takes about 5 minutes with this blower. Also this unit will operate with any of the 18 volt batteries from B&D so I just use whatever juice is left in the batteries I was working with for that day. This blower will eat some battery power pretty quick thou. The air stream starts to get pretty weak if you go longer than 10 to 15 minutes on a fresh battery. So if your in a situation like me where you don’t need cat 5 hurricane force winds to do your job and your job doesn’t require a lot of time, then this blower is perfect. Anything that allows me another 45 minutes of woodworking time instead of cleaning time gets 5 stars from me.

Cheap Black & Decker GH1000 Grass Hog XP 14-Inch 7.2 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger Review

I found that right after opening this item out of the box, just plugged it in and it worked super! From my own negligence, going through tall weeds, the bottom cap must have fallen off and spun somewhere out of this world. I have looked everywhere. I found no problem getting the missing part reletively inexpensively, and am eagerly awaiting the package in the mail so I can get out and back to my weedeating.

Yogourmet Multi Electric Yogurt Maker with CBA Starter

Cheap Yogourmet Multi Electric Yogurt Maker with CBA Starter Review

I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before purchasing the Yogourmet Multi Electric Yogurt Maker with CBA Starter. I wanted to make my own yogurt so that I would know what was going into it. The store bought ones are full of sugar, which I do not eat. I decided to go with the Yogourmet Yogurt Maker, mainly because of how much you could make at one time, and the fact that you only had the one container to clean. Also, I liked the idea of the water bath. The only thing I don’t like about the Yogourmet Yogurt Maker is that the yogurt container is hard to remove from the outer vessel. It would have been nice if they had added a handle to assist in removing the container full of yogurt. It can be a bit tricky to remove it when the yogurt is finished. The thermometer is very tiny and hard to read, but that is a minor problem, which I am going to purchase a digital thermometer to fix.
Other than that, I have no complaints about the Yogourmet Yogurt Maker. It is very well made, and is very easy to use. I have only used mine twice, because it makes so much yogurt, but I already love it. I like to experiment with different milks to see which one I like best. Next time, I will be trying soy milk.
I would highly recommend this product!

Fender Vintage Volt Tweed 18 Ft Electric Instrument Cable

Cheap Fender Vintage Volt Tweed 18 Ft Electric Instrument Cable Review

I ordered this for my husband without realizing it is 18 feet long.(reading details would’ve solved this problem). It is a very sturdy guitar cable and works well. He kind of laughed at the length, but when all his friends cram into the dining room to play, it has come in handy. He has also used it to play at church. It is not fragile at all, so works well for traveling. I would buy another (if it was shorter).

String Electric Guitar Wall Hanger with Metal Plate – Black Base

Cheap String Electric Guitar Wall Hanger with Metal Plate – Black Base Review

My office/man cave is small (10×12) and I have 2 children under the age of 4. Which means regular stands are not an option. I had been keeping my guitars in cases. It was a pain in the butt dragging the cases out, so I decided to the string swing a shot. Right off the bad I was impressed with construction. I was expecting sloppy welds on a product so cheap ( at the local mom & pop). After a week with the first one on the wall and no sign of the hooks drooping I went and picked up 3 more. I’ve got 2 that are mounted to the studs and 2 that are using the supplied anchors. The anchors are high quality and very large like something you would buy at a hardware store. I hang my two lighter giutars on the ones using the anchors (Strat & SG) and keep my heavier ones (2 LP’s) on the hangers mounted to the studs. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over putting my Les Paul’s in the ones using the anchors, but my basement has very thick/sturdy drywall and I know it will hold. If your drywall/plaster/sheetrock is thin or in poor shape I would only mount to the studs…just to be on the safe side.
