How does it compare to the Fiskars X7? I have the Fiskars and I think it's amazing for the price.

I don't have the Fiskars but for the money I wouldn't buy anything but the Estwing. One solid piece of steel. No way the head EVER comes loose on this baby.

Im with Kevin and Dave, don't use anything but estwing. Solid metal allows you to do a lot with it and to it without worrying about it breaking.

I agree with Dave I bought the estwig because it's a solid shaped piece of metal it will last forever..don't know about fiskars

I am definitely looking toward the x10. Viewfinder, manual zoom, unique sensor geometry. It's almost perfect on paper and the sample images look great.

For me it's the best for this size Quad. I have the Dromida Ominus and there Vista that don't compare to the Alias, knock on wood no motor problems yet! Getting ready to order an Orange Alias when there in stock sometime in Oct.

It is an outstanding unit and you will not be disappointed. however, it probably is over-kill. i recall there is a less expensive unit that i bet is more than adequate...I recall it was basically the same unit but maybe without certain attachments?

For me, the Axis lock is the best and easily closes the deal. The Adamas feels better in my hand. And not until you get up around the ZT 0301 do you find anything as strong as the Benchmade.

Thanks for your informative reply! I had already bought one, & forgotten about posting this question. It does work well, & looks like the cleaning feature will be handy. And I've used it to "dress up" the edges on a couple of Fiskars axes, plus their bill-hook machete "brush axe", as well as a Gerber Camp Axe.Reason I asked in the first place? I had bought a different sharpener from another source that advertised "wheels", but only had two crossed ceramic "rodlets". It occurred to me that maybe even Fiskars might make this error. Happily, there was no problem- Fiskars told the truth! And considering what things cost these days, it's well worth the money. Thanks for your informative reply!

I put the tube of a 10"f5 in the trunk of a Toyota Corolla, and the mount in the back seat. The XT8 is smaller, but not by much. By the way, I had a look at Virgo galaxies through a club member's XT8. The optics were amazing for a scope of this price. Contrast was excellent. An 8"f6 really hits the "sweet spot" for aperture, portability, performance and price.

I'll tell you man, much more power. Complete tunability over ESC and motor. All though its much bigger than the vxl but totally worth it. 5mm shaft by the way. But yea. You want speed and brutal power this is the way to go. Ideally use 4s. Perfect combo

The Krome is great, got to keep it clean, just like any other airbrush. I do not know much about the Sotar, other than the review's. I would say it is a cheaper version of the Krome. For durability the Krome is great. I paint models with it. Breaking it down to clean after a session is a bit taxing but I'm happy with it. I would think the Sotar is great for it's price. I might get one for a back up. The Krome is awesome, I wanted it because it was all metal and will stand up to the use after several sessions.

I had the X100 and now own the XT1 and 56mm f1.2. While it's not exactly what you're looking for I'll say that I am 100% happy w/ the 56mm and find the XT1 a huge upgrade from the X100. Not just in terms of image quality and bokeh but flexibility as well since you can change out the lenses.

Hah! I'm also a tried-and-true PMX70 fan, wanted to upgrade, tried the PMX680, found them to be terrible, went with a PMX80, they broke after a handful of uses... now rebuying assuming I just got a bad set.I feel the PMX80 is a little more heavy-duty and better-sounding, but I've not done a side-by-side.

The only reason I would spend an extra $50 or so on a Reeve is because I can spare the money to buy the "best". I recently lost my Sage, the clip lost some of its strength over time and I believe that is the reason it fell out of my pocket somewhere. Point being that I am glad it was a spyderco and not an expensive REEVE that I lost. As far as function goes, I would rather buy the sage for actual usage and maybe a reeve as a glorified gentlemans knife to be used sparingly.

I would suggest reading the reviews on CNET.com & AMAZON.com for in-depth information from users. Personally I love it! But there is a learning curve to the X500, but that's due to the plethora of features & options for each shot. You can get as close as 2" away, if there's enough light, for great micro-shots. Compare them feature for feature, & whichever matches your photography style best will be your choice. I generally keep mine in auto mode & have it at the ready. It hasn't let me down yet... I am also building a recipe book & the food picts looks mighty tasty! For the features, 16MP & the price I would choose the GE again!

Yes, it sounds fine to me. It costs a little more than the real low end ones like rogue etc but is well worth the difference. They are very popular and should be easy to sell or trade if you decide to move up later.

I would say overall yes. with that said i would have gotten the raptor fx if it was out when i got mine, its a bit more (i think $75) but they cut a lot of weight. i believe the raptor is 7lbs vs 9 and it comes with a better scope/or the same. my decision is purely on weight as i would replace the scope regardless, just hate the 3dot. if you cant afford a lighter one this one dose great and i get very clean kills with it. ive had it for 3 full seasons, wax your strings especially the the two that cross in the slide. they are very expensive to fix, not just on this xbow but all

I've had a 720SW for a few years. It has been drug through outdoor hell and still is great. Can't wait to try the 1030.
