I was really excited to get these markers, by utterly disappointed when I used them. Within two uses these pens frayed. Not only that, but the colors dried out soon.

Thought I was buying solid metal tools to help scrape carbon from hard to reach areas. Thoroughly disappointed when they arrived and I saw they were nothing more than cheap plastic. They bend and flex with the slightest pressure. The only thing that these are good for are cleaning Play-Doh out of the crevices in my son's toys.

First thing i did was test these to make sure they could hold a vacuum and pressure. They held neither. They come with Teflon seals. Worthless. And the valves leak horrendously if you try to open or close them with pressure in them. The rubber seals literally come out. The hoses might be okay, after switching to rubber gaskets, but if the valves can't hold a vacuum or pressure, these are worthless. I don't recommend them

As much as I love these pencils when they work, this particular set has proven extremely frustrating. I bought these for my daughters (8 and 5) because I believe that young children should enjoy high quality art materials especially when they come at such a great price. Unfortunately, these pencils are impossible to use because they break all the time. I use prismacolor sharpener, it does not help at all. This set is simply defective. The kids have become so frustrated with these, that they went back to their crayolas. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to sharpen them, all to no avail. Even at this price, its' a loss, because only  a few pencils are left from the set we got in January; the rest of the pencils have been shaved down almost entirely in the process of futile sharpening. I had been reading similar comments for a while, but remained faithful to prismacolor over the years because these pencils are incomparable in color and pigment concentration. However, after this experience, I am going to switch to a different brand.

every single one broke while trying to use them, it's a real joke they snap half way down the line. I guess I learned the hard way, something that cost as little as they did is for a reason (there garbage)

These are only good when you are looking at them.  Even at first the wood handles concerned me.  The wood is not treated, or finished the way it should be for use as a kitchen tool.  I never put wood handles, or sharp knives in a dishwasher - NEVER.  But I hand washed these lightly before I put them in the drawer.  Later, I was puzzled at the pink/orange stripes on my dish towel - and finally realized it was the wood handles from the knives!  They bled out color, proving they were not sealed as they should have been.  If they are that bad new, they can only go downhill, and will be of no use to me.  Concept is great - execution fell flat.  I DO NOT recommend

I THOUGHT that these were excellent when I received them- I even wrote a 5 star review!  They looked great, and seemingly were a solid deal.  Fast forward to 2 months later, and I notice black stuff creeping up on the rings.  I tried to clean it, and it was impossible.  Soon enough it became obvious that this black "stuff" was mold, and it was on all of the coasters.  Also, they all became warped, which is not a desirable coaster feature.

These were used in an adult only home, once a day or less, and were immediately dried after use.  Do not buy these if you actually need to use your coasters.

Ruined my printer.  Don't buy these unless you want your printer to become a fancy paperweight.

Not at all what I thought I was getting and were too small to use for what I had planned (or anything I could imagine).

Tried using these instead of the more expensive ones I used to use and they do not work at all.

I purchased these speakers to use with a flat screen TV.  I had great expectations upon opening the box and lifting out the speakers.  I couldn't believe the quality of the units, especially for the price.  Then i plugged them in and turn on the sound.  It was beyond belief just how bad these speakers sound, and the static when the speakers were on standby is as bad as others had described.  I cannot understand how the manufacturer would choose to invest in quality speaker housing units to house what must be the cheapest speakers they could find.  I returned the units and thanks to Amazon, that process was painless.

I bought these about three and a half years ago. I was so disappointed in how they worked that I just put them away and forgot about them. After seeing them in my bathroom the other day, I figured that I'd share my experience here.

I wanted a set of pliers that would help me remove a snap ring from my Oster 76 clippers. I looked around, and these were pretty cheap, so I bit. Unfortunately. They didn't work for me at all. At ALL. I apologize that it's been too long for me to remember the specifics, but I do remember that I tried for quite a while to get these to work on that one snap ring with no positive results.

That, and the pin that slides out to let you put on different tips takes a while to get out because it sticks in the hole. I just tried that out yesterday, so it's fresh in my mind. Poor tolerance, IMO.

Overall, just a big disappointment. I've since given the Oster clippers away to a friend, and maybe I should do the same with these - but to someone that I don't like as much.

No, I don't recommend these.

Why did I buy these? They are USELESS... Turned out to be an expensive solution to a non-existent problem.

I knew that buying these was probably a gamble since I've never heard of the brand before, but the terribleness of these socks truly shocked me. I have a few sock rules that have served me well over the years, and I consider them to be very reasonable:
1.) Don't suck
2.) Be made of high percentage of cotton
3.) Act as some kind of barrier between my foot and my shoe

Firstly, these socks are suuuuuper thin. You know those little footy nylon things they have at shoe stores for you to wear when you try on shoes in case you're not wearing socks? That's what these socks felt like. Super thin. Like, very thin dress sock thin. So thin that you can easily see through them when you put your foot into them. I pulled out my digital caliper because I was shocked at how thin these are and here are my measurements:
A plain white sheet of printer paper is this thick: 0.13 mm
Unstretched, straight from the package, these socks are this thick: 0.40 mm
That means at their thickest possible state these socks are the thickness of 3 sheets of paper. 3 sheets of paper! Have you ever felt the inside of your shoe with your foot? Like when you're not even wearing a sock? That's what wearing shoes with these socks felt like - as if there were no barrier between me and my shoe at all.

Secondly, the package says "Fully Cushioned". To say that these socks are even fractionally cushioned is an absolute lie. The heel, bottom, toe, top and every other part of this abysmal sock is all made of the exact same paper thin material; this sock knows no concept of cushion.

Thirdly, the package says "Extra Durable" - really? At the thickness of 3 sheets of paper, these sock are not just durable, but "extra durable"??? Come on!

Finally, these socks are slicker than snot on a doorknob. Just walking around my linoleum floor was almost enough to put me down on my bum. I've never had a cotton sock that felt this slippery and synthetic. Since every other part of the package description was a lie, I really wonder if these are made of 90% cotton like they say.

I thew away all 11 pairs, and kept one pair just to see if they'd get any better once I washed them. I can now confirm they are just as slippery, sucky, and clearly NOT 90% cotton as they were before washing.

I didn't expect the quality to be so bad, i ended up throwing them away.
