What is the difference between the poplin and the twill? Is one better for certain uses over the other? What are your preferences? Thanks in advance.

I have never used the twill. I quilt and the poplin is very close to the cotton fabric. I did a memory quilt for my mom with lots of photographs. Turned out better than I thought for my first time! This was very easy to use in the printer. I would cut it before printing to keep from wasting so much or fit smaller pictures one piece and cut it after printing. Good luck. Varies in price so search for the best one.

Based on reputation (and, I don't own one), I think the the Bushnell is a better scope. I currently have a lower-priced Leupold Gold Ring scope on my Savage Model 12 varmint rifle. The Tasco is a good, emergency type temporary scope. I would carefully check all the Leupold scopes and buy the best one I could afford. I like all Leupold and Black Hills products - good, American products, and quality is generally cheaper in the long run. Good luck!

According to their websites the Protac HL throws a whopping 253m tops and the Klarus XT11 is approx. 202m (from cpf--not listed on their website). Having said that the HL is marketed as more of a "spiller" and the Klarus is marketed as being more balanced. My understanding is that anything over 150m is usable (because it's hard for our eyes to see much further than that anyway). It will really come down to preference. The Klarus has a medium mode and the low mode is not as aggressive (10) as the Streamlight's low (33). The Klarus also sports a more aggressive head. Both great flashlights with great reviews!

Slight advantage to the Oshlun over the Freud 208, mainly due to having more teeth. The Oshlun isn't quite as clean as the DW/Delta 7670 though, which tends to run a bit higher in price. Any of those will have significantly better performance than the $30-$50 sets from Avanti, HF, Mibro, Vermont American, Promax, and others. However, none of these entry level sets do as well as the premium sets from Infinity, Freud, Forrest, Systimatic, Ridge Carbide, etc @ $200+, mainly due to the design and quality of manufacture...there really is a notable difference, but the better ~ $90+ sets can be "good nuff". It all boils down to need, usage, economics, and priorities.

I would go with this. I used both and I liked these better. They have the tops you can hang them also if you want to or have them on the ground. I had a ton of flies coming I into from my neighbor's dogs and this took care if them within 3-4 days. I also like that as the flies fill it up you just put more water on them before having to change it out. This one worked better for me personally.

I prefer the more powerful ones like the 9280. I bought my daughter one also. It is well worth the money..

I have no basis of comparison. But for what it's worth, The Wahl 84900 continues to work very well for my wife (who has cut my hair for 50+ years) and myself. It replaced a very, very old Wahl. I have "normal length", old fashioned parted hair that gets cut about every 3 weeks. We do not use the clip-on attachments.

I've owned both. The Big Mabel is fun but less performance oriented than the Warbird. The main difference is the Mabel is basically flat underneath with the back rest extending to the edges. The Warbird angles up slightly on either side like wings and the back rest is slightly inboard. The result is that the Warbird can go ridiculously fast back and forth across the wakes while being almost impossible to catch an edge and flip. The other side of that coin is that it tend to smooth out the ramp going over the wakes and is slightly harder to get as much pop and get as airborne as the Mabel. It still will catch air over the wakes but not as much. Secondly, it definitely pulls easier than the Mabel. The Mabel loaded with passengers can feel like a boat anchor out there. On less powerfull boats this might be a factor. It certainly results in more fuel burn. Our boat is quite over powered and designed to be a towboat. After a season in the Florida Sun and humidity, we ended up tearing the skin right off the Mabel while towing. The drag of the Mabel combined with the pull of the boat resulted in failure of the nylon cover. Never had any problems with the bladders. That was the second Big Mable we had and both met their demise in the same way, by having the nylon cover pulled apart. The Warrior looks to be built a little more durable. That combined with the more hydrodynamic bottom shape should equal much longer useful life. Both are fun. Mabel pops higher and makes for some pretty spectacular wipeouts, but is not that durable. The Warrior is fun too but slides so smoothly it almost makes it too easy.

The flat trigger bar actually has two settings one deep notch (great for catfish) and one shallow notch (good for smaller fish). As far as sensitivity, I've used both wire trigger and flat trigger, and can't tell much difference in sensitivity. The flat (bar) trigger is more heavy-duty. I personally prefer the Mechanical Fisher over the White's Auto-Fisher because of the former's stainless steel spring, and recommend the flat trigger.

I got the 140 this past January.. My advise to you would be to get neither.. I have nothing but problems with it from day one.. It's a very inconsistent, unreliable machine.. Spend a little extra money and get a name brand machine.. Even a Lincoln Electric would be far superior.. My main problem with the Longevity is the feeding mechanism and all it's gritty components.. From the spool, the liner, right down to the nozzle.. Absolute junk!! Read the reviews of a the various longevity models.. The same people leave the same reviews for all the machines to boost the rating.. Don't waste your money on any of their machines.. You will be very disappointed and aggravated..

I have not used the Whirly Pop and am not familiar with it's construction but the Cook N Home is stainless steel with a heave bottom and works great. We make kettle corn in ours almost exclusively and it cleans up nicely with just a little soap and water. Some poppers have plastic gears, not the Cook N Home, it is well built.

It is more thorough than a swiffer, but requires a little more effort just by virtue of the weight, etc. I like to use both, a swiffer once in a while when I don't feel like vacuuming. I don't have a ton of stamina due to illness so for me to be able to use any vacuum is pretty cool! I love this little vacuum. If you decide to purchase it, I hope you have a similar experience:-)

I own both and there is a picture of the two in my review. The Flick is almost a full inch shorter than the Diesel. The Flick tool opens from the outside and is faster to Flick open with one hand. A great buy. But I use the Diesel for work more because of 3 things: it's larger for my hand, it has a partially serrated blade which I like and a metal file which is all kinds of handy. Really my choice of carry all came down to that file. The Flick is great for everyday use and the Diesel is more for work and Military. Also buy one of those Night Eyez holsters they suggest. Fits perfectly and is very tough. I own both and there is a picture of the two in my review. The Flick is almost a full inch shorter than the Diesel.

If you're looking for a close shave on your face then I would recommend the Wahl 8061 5-Star Series Rechargeable Shaver Shaper. It's awesome! I use it daily on my face and it doesn't give me any bumps or in-grown hairs. I actually prefer it over using a traditional razor for shaving. The Andis Styliner trimmer won't give you a close shave on your face at all in comparison to the Wahl Shaver Shaper. And I would say the same about the aforementioned products if you're going to use them for cutting your hair too. The Styliner will cut your hair very short to the point where you will just see stubble, but the Wahl Shaver Shaper will leave your scalp smooth and bald just as a razor would (some people say it even cuts closer than a razor). If you opt for the Wahl Shaver, you don't really need to apply that much pressure when using it on your face like a typical electric shaver. It works just fine with little/moderate pressure. It's a very reliable shaver and requires very little maintenance. Every so often you just need to pop off the top portion and brush out all the hairs on the blade and that's it. Once the foil on the top portion starts to wear out (which you will be able to see visibly, this takes a long time by the way) you can just order the replacement foil/blade and pop that right on and you're good to go. I hope this answered your question. If you're looking for something to use for shaving your face you won't be disappointed with the Wahl Shaver. I think it's the best shaver that's available and it's the only one that I use.

Like John, I to have only used the Hiker Pro. I had a MSR that I thought was the best until I sat next to others with the Hiker Pro. They'd fill 4 water bottles to my one. That was enough to convince me to change. The Hiker Pro is very easy to use and VERY fast. That's my two cents...

I own the Toro 51609 and it does a fantastic job of vacuuming up piles of leaves. The metal impeller is much sturdier and will last years longer than a plastic impeller. You will suck up pebbles and twigs with your device and they will destroy the plastic impeller. These are issues that you will have to deal with eventually and I want people to be well informed before they make a purchase.
