I'm weary on the price, is the quality materials there compared to $200 similar Kelty/Eureka/North Face 3 mans?

The materials are fine. My only problems is design. The rainfly attaches by elastic straps with hooks as oppose to straps with clips found on more expensive tents. Also, this tent is HEAVY! Fiberglass poles are heavier than aluminum and Coleman uses a tarp-like material for the floor. The floor, though probably tougher than most adds weight. It seems to be a very capable and sturdy tent that should last for years if you can deal with the weight and design issues. My biggest issues are; the poles have to be fed through LONG sleeves, and the door is ridiculously short (you have to crawl in). On the upside, the tent goes up relatively easy and has plenty of guy outs. It's also very roomy for a 7x8. Hope this helps.

How do you compare a $200 tent to a $90 tent? I have used this tent at least 15 times camping with a Boy Scout troop in all types of weather from 50 mph winds in a thunderstorm to -5 degrees winter camping, I have not incurred a single problem at all. For the money, best tent I have ever purchased.

You are really looking at the wrong product for your application. You don't need to drop $500 on a REALLY good leaf blower either.1/4 of an acre is nothing clear with a good Husqvarna backpack blower. If you don't have physical mobility, you could still do a greatjob while riding whatever it is that you'd be on, and have the backpack on. This doesn't compare to a BillyGoat style rolling blower.Your application might warrant you just renting a machine a couple of times a year.

It is decent and each is uniquely had forged. In Kukri"s the best value for the money is the windlass Indian contract Kukri. Last time I checked they were under 60.00and can be ordered from Alanta Cutlery corp. The sell several models. For the money the indian contract kukri is the best value. Even Bill bagwell mentions it in one of his bowie books.

Not sure why it's $60 more, but if it's their INSTANT TENT, it should be identical, but without seeing it, I'm not sure. Will say this, the INSTANT tent is excellent, goes up in a few minutes, including staking it down. Used it on four camping excursions this Summer. Look around at other vendors, I did. They're not all priced the same and you might find one somebody's clearing out of their inventory.

I also agree that the Gorilla is a better price bt of a comparable quality. Go here to read more of my comparison: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8556/little_giant_versus_gorilla_ladders.html

I did not notice when we used it for first time. Unfortunately, it is not here right now but my impression is that it is fairly sturdy. Will take a few more years to really evaluate it. I did manage to find their website and it mentions layered construction. Roast lists at $299. I believe I paid $175 last year on Amazon but it was just after Thanksgiving.

Definitely, but keep a couple of things in mind. First, the bungees that come with the net lasted me exactly one season (spring to fall) and already were decomposing by the time I took the rebounder down to store it for the winter. Replacements are available from Franklin for about $20, however, so it's not the end of the world. Second, the rebounder is great for U-12 and below, but I suspect it might not last long if you have a 15 year-old boy or girl smacking it with hard shots. Overall it's a good value for only $100 if (1) your kids are 12 and under and (2) you don't mind replacing the bungees every season or two. I am glad I bought mine.

I would also like to tell people about the Fitness Trends "Ultimate Push Up" I picked up a set for just $10 at my local Big Lots! I havent personally compared its construction to the other models, but I am a former Soldier who weighs a bit over 200 pounds, and I havent noticed ANY problems with this devices structure or construction. It has a fairly solid grip with comfortable foaam covering a hard plastic? I am sure that the foam will start to peel off eventually, but for right now; I couldnt be happier for my $10.

I have no idea why the price difference. I have used mine quite a lot ,no signs of wear yet. I would say it is well made . Hope this helps you.

I don't have an answer for that, those were my thoughts also. Getting a larger tent allows for more movement while working inside so that was my reason for buying along with the additional savings. This version might also be a better seller therefore they are able to discount this product to attract more buyers. Anyways this is a great piece of equipment. It's built very well and it should last for many, many years if taken care of. I think the initial weight as it arrives in it carrying case is over 70 lbs, it's a beast.

I am not an expert...but the bike, for the low price, is actually well made and sturdy, not a piece of junk...it has a large comfy seat and a back and you can adjust it. It is very comfortable and quiet. I paid $139 and it was well worth it. The only thing I can imagine is that at a heavier weight it might not last as long..but that's no big deal. If it gets you started on moving...it's worth it. I have a bad back, that is why I got a recumbent bike and it's really great. I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I didn't use it as much as I hope...so it is in the corner facing the TV and a half hour goes by in no time. Good Luck with your decision!

Yes its built and lined. Its a very open ended question. If you want to know about the finish then i can tell you this much since i own one that it feels really cheap when you look at it from close. Not worth $1600 in my opinion. The correct price for this couch should be around $800-900 about half of what they're selling it for. Few observations to support my claim- The head rest are like what you see in a cheap mini van. You can also pull them out like a dodge caravan.- You can see the steel base which looks odd and cheap. - Its really low.- The cushions are hard and not very comfortable. Yes its built and lined.

I am a long-time beginner (I've wanted to learn to weld for years) and I think the Hobart is an excellent unit. I am not familiar with Longevity and Eastwood units but I do have a Sears Craftsman unit, which is like a soldering gun. I know of other no-name manufacturers of units sold by the likes of Harbor Freight. I'm no welding expert but I do know and study quality equipment. If I didn't buy the Hobart my other choices would have been Miller and Lincoln. I think both have comparable units that are more expensive than the Hobart with no or maybe a few more features.

It is not of very good quality and comes with a wool pad which may be abbrassive. You may want to look into getting a Mcguiers head... they are made of durable rubber that is flexible. like 10 bucks on here.

Charles, I see $41.95 as the current price, which is still a good deal. I caught them for $26 several months ago, that is one reason that I purchased two. I would have paid 42 if necessary, just saying. I am not a pro wood worker, just do it for the enjoyment, not rich either, try to get the best use of cost for this hobby. Oh, I got the Rockwell jaw horse from A. A very good investment. I am using it with auxiliary runners to hold chair leg blanks to route mortise joints. The runners are to give the router base a sturdy place to ride. I have a few more tips if you are interested. Rocketbob

I bought two and have had to re-glue both of them. I don't think it was the weight as much as people moving back and forth while sitting on them. They are not well made. However, I can say someone weighing 200 lbs. sat on it and didn't break it. I've seen them at Garden Ridge & I think Hobby Lobby for the same price. I'd suggest you check it out before buying. Also, the wood on mine was not nice enough to stain, I had to paint them.

I've always fabricated my own mounts but just bought a Mariner 400 after I watched the video. You get a pretty big bang for the buck with that boat and the reviews back it up. Most dingy boats run you 2, 3 times as much around $700.00 to $1200.00 so I guess my point is. I'm gonna splurge and buy the proper mount this go around. Am damd excited retiring the Blue/Yellow Challenger.
