Do any of you have both the Pitts and the Sbach and if so which do you prefer/recommend?

I have the umx beast 3d and the sbach, so not exactly what you're asking about but fairly close. The beast (read biplanes in general) is a bit slower and easier to fly than the sbach. It will do any type of maneuver you ask of if, but only at about 80% of the quickness of the sbach. The sbach is simply a sharper flying airplane, with legitimately fast responses on high rate. I will say that I found the above qualities a bit intimidating when I first bought the sbach, and that was enough to send me back to the biplane for awhile. If it's a question of what your first aerobatic airplane should be, get the Pitts. If you're looking for a truly aerobatic, small plane, get the sbach or the yak. Hope this helps.

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

I have the slingshot 302 and the fast pack 100. The sling shot hurts my shoulder after a while. I felt like I shouldve gone with the fastpack 300 (302?) series. The fastpack 100 is very comfortable.

Condor knife would be my next choice for the price. You can't go wrong with the mora BB. It gives you a sharpener & ferro rod

I've spent the past week and a half researching and reading reviews from Amazon and other websites on these 2 irons. After reading the side-by-side comparison I decided to go with the cheaper iron since I have no use for vertical steaming or a detachable water tank. Thanks a lot for the helpful link.:)

My experience is only with the Wahl. I like it very much. It's light weight and doesn't heat up too quickly. My only negative is with the housing which is very smooth almost slick, and I've dropped it a few times. Once, I needed to replace the head, because it broke when it hit the floor. I'm more careful now, :-) It's a handy device, but it's not meant for heavy-duty work. I only use it on my small poodles...their faces, tail, feet and under the abdomen. It's a good addition to my other grooming tools but not a replacement for a stronger trimmer (one with switchable blades).

I had a Shark unit before the Haan and I gave it away pre-maturely because I no longer had wood floors. Now I have them again so I wanted to buy a better unit. The consumer buying guide rated this one at the top. So, I got it. It works well but it seems like the cheaper Shark produced more steam. I still like this one better because it heats up very fast and for the money you get a handheld that you can use in smaller places (ie. counter tops etc.). I'm happy. It's definitely better constructed than the Shark. Good luck.

IMO, Buck knives are better than Ka-Bar but to each his own. You won't find a better all-around knife than the 119 Special and with the cocabola handle you get a knife that he will definitely treasure for a lifetime. I have two of the 119's with the black phenolic handle that I have had over 20-yrs and recently bought one with the cocabola handle as more of a display knife, than to use, because I like its looks. It is a beautiful knife. A slightly smaller version of the 119 (6" Blade) is the 105 PathFinder (5" Blade) which I use a lot when doing a little more delicate work such as deboning, etc. If you husband has small hands, he might prefer the 105 instead. Unfortunately, I've never seen the 105 with a cocabola handle, though Cabela's carries it in cherrywood and bone handles and LLBean has it in leather. However you will pay more at those places than Amazon. For a knife to use for gutting, skinning and cutting up the vension, you can't go wrong with the 119. Almost forgot to mention that Buck also makes a Model 121 which is in-between the 105 and the 119 in blade length (5.5"). This is a Boone&Crockett commemorative knife with the B&C emblem on the handle. I just recently bought one off Amazon but have not had a chance to use it yet. If he's big on Boone & Crockett, you might consider it, but for pure beauty, you can't beat the looks of the 119 with the cocabola handle.

I would say both! I have Pit and I am going to buy Dark Pit soon. It is well worth the price.

I have two S&W; pocket knives now. My smaller one is the SWATMBS model and weighs 3.8 oz on our kitchen scale. The larger one is the SWMP5LS model, and weighs 6.4 oz on the same scale, having a larger, heftier handle and larger blade. Either is an excellent carry knife. The larger is real badass-looking.

I really wanted the 501 Style but i couldn't find a place that would ship APO The 501 has all the attachments the 500 comes with only a couple attachments but in all honesty for the price that i got the 500 i think my decision was right on. because we live in a tiny apartment in Germany and this is all we need this is one amazing vacuum the 501 comes with every attachment imaginable for under your small crevasses like fridge and stove but other than that i can just move the stove and fridge and save $150 in my pocket. you won't be disappointed with either of the models the only reviews i read is people said the blue one is ugly but i actually think it looks posh and does its job very well. also isn't an eye sore if you don't have a closet to store it in its compact. hope this helps with your decision. Good luck :)

Did you decide and buy one yet? I am in the same boat and looking for your recommendation.

Definitely go with a Braava. The Scooba is an older design that doesn't work as well.

i would prefer an exposed tang as well, heck lose the blade coating while were at it, but after much experience with the SP line, i am very fond of these handles, great size & grip, uniform quality construction similar to the becker line but better, they would be perfect tho if they felt the same but were removable & customizable... having said that, dukee has it right, the flat side at end of blade will drive nails!!!

I own the knife and I'm really pleased with it. I'm not an expert but from what I've read those two styles of Steel are virtually the same.if it were me I would trust the buck website over other information. If you buy the knife I'm sure you'll be happy with it I am with mine.

Yes, I have, and I've had no problems with pitting. I love this stockpot! The only possible con I would have is that it's heavy - but, that's also a plus for me. I dislike thin, tinny pans.
