Effective, long-lasting, but thin, fragile coils
938989
The coils are flimsy and take delicate surgery to separate. Four of the ten coils broke into pieces.
Once lit, they do work longer than others. They were effective in reducing the swarms at our front door/stoop for almost ten hours.

I like the "linguini style" cords, they help cut down on tangles, though I wish they were thicker. When they're thin like these are, the kinks caused by the packaging process mean they stay crinkled and never really straighten out. But, again, for the price I don't think it's not a huge complaint .

These have held up very well for the price although they do not see heavy usage, i mainly use them to cut wire for vape coils. With that said they don't look or feel cheap and I could see them working in a pinch for professional applications.

These are great little tools for the job - I especially like using them in the working loop of my crochet piece when I'm not working on it to keep it from unraveling. Unfortunately, these guys snap in half A LOT. This is only off-set by their relative cheapness - think of them as a consumable resource and not a tool. I'm planning to change to coilless safety pins instead; they might last more than a few uses!

These do the business, I guess. They're ESD-safe until the paint wears off, although they do live up to the anti-magnetic claim. The main issue is that whatever metal they're made of is too soft. If you drop things as often as I do, the tips will very quickly get bent out of shape. It's not hard to straighten them back out with a pair of pliers, but I shouldn't have to.

The white label paint wore off after about a month of light use, and a year and a half later, the black "ESD-safe" paint has started to chip off around the edges, so they're no longer ESD safe, if they ever even were. Also, the paint appears to be soluble in acetone, so don't use these to retrieve something from an acetone bath.

Overall, they're not terrible, but they're not great. I definitely wouldn't trust them for anything mission-critical, or with parts that are very sensitive to ESD. I'll keep these around for things like grabbing screws and clearing crud from between IC pins, but I'm going to buy some better quality tweezers for the more serious electronics work.

These work really well for the first two weeks, but going into a month, it's time to change to a new one. I smoke about 3/4 of a pack a day, and do so in a small room separate from the main area of the house, which probably explains why these filters don't last as long as the package suggests. They aren't all that budget-friendly vs the time they last in 'real-world' use.

I have purchased 4 of these due to the low price but need to find a more durable brand. I use these for 12-hour shifts but replace the solid earbud with the "hear-through" earmolds to use with a 2-way Motorola radio shoulder mic. They work well short-term but all have failed after a few weeks of rotating shifts. All of them lose the connection where the clear tube (female end) locks into the black part (male end).

First Act is a manufacturer of which their instruments are usually sold as toys in Target or Toys r Us, mainly small sized acoustic guitars for children. When I decided to revisit guitar playing in high school, I regularly bought these strings as they sold at Target and were relatively cheap. The price for these strings has gone up quite a bit since I used to use them, and considering there are high end brand names that are about the same price, these aren't really a bargain. I went through at least ten sets of these back in high school.

Anyways, these strings sound great. I know, they are made by what most would consider a toy company, but they can definitely compete with higher end brands, as far as sound goes. They only come in one size for electrics, .009 - .042 (Extra Light). They also come in one size for acoustics, .012 - .053. They sounded full and heavy with a distortion channel on the amp (I normally play punk rock, hard rock, and metal), but also sounded crisp and bright with a clean tone. Something worth mentioning, I used these in Standard E Tuning, Standard Eb, Drop D, and Drop C# Tuning.

That being said, these strings have a very short life span. They rust quickly, and the wound strings tend to unwind often (unplayable after that). The high E and B strings break EXTREMELY easily. I was practicing 1 to 2 hours a day, and went to band practice for 5 hours once a week. The strings lasted me about two weeks. For comparison, with the brand I use now, I still practice the same amount, but the strings last me about four weeks. Something I should mention is that, I eventually realized I needed heavier strings, and that is what caused me to try other brands.

Overall, these have great tone. However, they break easily because of their light gauge, have a short life span, and aren't exactly a bargain. I would recommend giving them a try at least once though, if you can find them for 3 - 4 bucks that is.

These micro-USB cables are acceptable, but not the sturdiest cables I've used. I bought them in conjunction with a power bank for Pokemon Go (naturally), but I've been sad to find that the little nubs of metal that are supposed to hold the cables into the micro-USB port have worn down within a couple of weeks. Luckily, it's a three pack, so I have two backups, but I think they should have maintained their shape much longer than they have.

I like this brand and have bought them many times. Unfortunately this is partly because they tend not to last for more than six or seven months without breaking. Theoretically you can return them but I've heard that this is only true if you keep the packaging and who wants to keep a package around for that long? But for people with teeny ears like mine they are the only feasible solution to the earbud-falling-out problem.
I really like that they are safer for long term wear without hearing damage concerns because they sit outside your ear not in it.  Yes, this means they are not as loud and you hear more ambient sound, but as a woman I like to be aware of what is going on around me and the slider function means I can stop and talk to friends without having to take them off and put them on again

While the convenience of having the cords retract are great, they are too thin and fragile for heavy use.  We tried to use these on a power station we have where we power our mobile devices, and we thought that with the retractable cords it would always be neat, but they break so easy right at the connection point.  We'd recommend them only if you are going to use them for let's say powering your phone overnight or maybe as a permanent usb cable for a computer or something, but if you plan on powering items frequently during the day, they won't hold up.

Inexpensive yes, but they just didn't last as long as the Duracell or Rayovacs.  They became noticeably less effective for me after about 4 days, whereas the others last me a full 2-3 weeks.  As they say, I guess I got what I paid for.

They are handy, but do not last.  These are better when kept in place.  If you continue to remove and re-apply, the internal wire breaks and pokes through the outer rubber.

I had a great experience with the prior generation of (round cable) Samsung OEM headphones. I used them for several years under rigorous conditions (running and motorcycling) without issue. They eventually failed, with the wiring causing one side to lose sound.

These headphones are something else entirely. The flat cable is nice. The earbuds happened to fit my ears, but there were not additional sizes. I noticed that the flat cable made a wrinkly sound when wiggled, which is a little odd. After less than 1.5 months of light use around the house, they have failed. It appears the wiring near the connector is damaged. They only work if the cable is twisted up a certain way. The headset appears to be a genuine Samsung product, but I am not impressed with how quickly they failed. I have never had a headset fail so quickly.

I noticed a dab of white paint (akin to "white out") on the earbuds (possibly to fix a chip in the paint) so its possible that they are "seconds" from the factory.

When I first put on these strings, I fell in love with the sound I got from them. They were extremely bright and sounded awesome when slapping. The strings sound even more awesome on a jazz bass with both pickups on. however, after a few weeks, the G string snapped a few minutes after I came home from a gig. A few months ago, I used the Flea signature bass boomer set, and the same string snapped after a few weeks. (The Flea signature set did outlast the regular set by a few days, btw.) Personally, I recommend Rotosound 66 swing bass strings, because they are a tad bit brighter, and last a lot longer

These are useful and acceptable quality but the metal connecting the main portion to the "piggy back" is too thin, making these prone to breaking or flexing when used with the large sized wires for which this connector is appropriate.

Other than that, these are fine. So use these with discretion and care to avoid stress or flexing.

You do get a large quantity with this packaging also, which may or may not suit your purpose.

These magnets are GREAT. Very strong, and just perfect for LED throwies.

There is a catch however: they are extremely fragile to certain forces. When taking apart, it's easy to accidentally snap one in half, and they WILL crack if you let them snap together with full force. I do not recommend letting children play with them under any circumstances, and you should wear gloves when handling.

When cracked/broken, they become EXTREMELY SHARP and emit a very fine DUST. Use caution and you'll be fine.
