Awesome. I had to drill into brick for our new ikea kitchen. Normal drills couldn't handle, it was a breeze to use the hammer drill. I wish I had some more drilling to do as I loved using this guy.

The foam is easy to install. I read some reviews that said they cut the foam to fit between the gutter supports. I tried this but quickly decided it was easier to compress and slide it under the supports. The foam did cut easily and cleanly with a long retractable disposable razor knife. I had to cut two pieces at 45* each for one corner. They came out fine using a straight edge. I need more than I thought and had to place a second order. With good measurements for the second order I kept it with only 2' extra.
 This was much cheaper than gutter covers. Maple tree seeds are about to fall and Fall and leaf season is around the corner. Time will tell how well they work.

Doing a brick and mortar demolition in the middle of the dining/living room areas wouldn't normally be a nice, neat, task. But thanks to the 3rd Hand (3Hand), I have a nice, neat dust barrier-a room within a room-that captures 90% of the dust. The 3Hand is easy to use. For my use I didn't want to nail a cleat to my ceiling to hold up the plastic to create my dust barrier room around the planter box I'm removing: The kit comes with large pads that allow the 3Hand to stand freely while I positioned the plastic over the top pads, and with one hand, I could use the 'jack' handle to extend the top pad to secure against the ceiling. I had my "room" built within 10 minutes. For my application, I learned that I really needed six 3Hands. Regardless, it's always important to have the right tools for the right job. Struggling on projects is not necessary when the right tools are available for the right price.

For the $3.99 shipping fee, Amazon had the tools on my doorstep in two days. You can't beat that for customer service.

While I was waiting for this to be delivered, I happened to browse through the reviews and they freaked me out a little bit! This is not difficult to put together, and the instructions, though wordless, are very clear. In fact, two of the pieces were mislabeled in my set, and it was so obvious which was which that it didn't take more than two minutes to figure it out. It took me about 2 hours to put the unit together, alone. I've had a couple of other KidCraft pieces, and this was on the simpler spectrum of their items.

It looks GREAT in my child's room, and replaced two cabinets that took up much more room. Also, it allowed me to put things I'd had up high down on his level so he can get his own toys instead of having to ask us to get them down for them.

This was packaged securely, and none of the pieces were damaged. Yes, they're dusty and that packing foam is messy, but anything you buy that you have to put together will have that issue. This piece was at least $200 cheaper than anything else of its quality I saw, and nothing else that would have weighed this much (89 pounds!) would have had free shipping.

The only thing I can see that might be a problem is that the plastic bins have little right-angle "feet" on each corner, and those get caught on th edge of the shelf when I push them in. I'll update in a few months with whether or not it's damaged the finish.

I had a piece of pine brickmould trim that I found began to rot at the sill level on a casement window. The piece was dry and crumbling. First, I used a brush to apply Liquid Wood. This is a two part liquid epoxy. The Liquid Wood made the crumbling trim hard as concrete in hours. No issue with tackiness or other problems. Instructions and mixing were easy to follow and a no-brainer. Second, I filled the hole with the Wood Epoxy. Again, this is a two part mix. Effectively you kneed the two parts like dough. The Wood Epoxy can best be described as play-doh like. I do agree it can be hard to work with because it isn't as firm as play-doh. This can be a plus and a minus depending on what you are trying to mold. The product does smooth easy with Rubbing Alcohol. The wood epoxy dried in a few hours and I sanded it the next day. It sands well and was not flaky. At this point I have primed the repair with a high quality exterior primer and it seems to accept paint well.

I recommend that anyone debating about the product watch the Abatron videos on their website.

I do wish that I had taken before photos but I do believe most users will be very pleased. I'm glad that I choose the product. I have used both Minwax and a competitive product. Liquid Wood puts Minwax Hardner to shame.

I was looking for a way to create a large LEGO table area for my toddler while incorporating some type of storage.  Ultimately I decided on going with modular storage cubes to make the most of the area we wanted to place it without spending a ton of money  I chose the Foremost brand storage cubes based on overall rating, size (15x15" or 15x30"), they were one of the only brands that offered a true black instead of espresso (his room is batman/Gotham city themed so we really needed black), and also price point.  All of the cubes arrived with their pieces undamaged.  You do have to assemble them, but assembly is pretty straight forward, they are mostly held together with wooden pegs and a few screws.  Once assembled they seem sturdy and do not flex from side to side if you put weight on them.  Included with the hardware were also extra pieces to securely connect the cubes together either side by side or on top of each other.  I placed custom cut 1/4" MDF sheets on the very top of these so I had a surface to paint, I wanted to paint a runway for the airport, a lake, rocks/dirt around the train tracks, and lines on the "roads" in between the large lego bases.  Overall we are very happy with the end result and would recommend these.

I have a queen size bed with wooden side rails and three large wooden slats.  I upgraded the slats years ago but still needed extra support.  Up until I found this item on Amazon I used four stacked bricks under the center slat.  This is obviously much more attractive, sturdier, and with a cordless drill the installation was easy.  The instructions that come with the Bed Claw are easy to follow and I didn't need the extension that ships with this because regrettably, nothing in my bedroom rises more than 10".  My installation looks pretty much just like the photo in this listing.  Using just one Bed Claw in the middle of the center slat was sufficient to eliminate the all to infrequent, albeit distracting, creaking sounds while providing ample frame support.  Wish I had known about this product years ago.

Purchased in November 2015 and have used it for multiple projects around the house. Never had a jam yet, and it's July 2017. I've installed base molding all around, as well as some small projects with this and it's been the best, sure beats a hammer and nails. A few months ago we had a professional install frame box wainscoting and they came out good, but I was sure I could do it myself. Sure enough the misses recently wanted another room with the same boxes and chair rail - this time I got the job. The picture speaks for itself, it's still rough and needs spackle and paint, but you get the idea. One note - get air tool oil and add a drop or two in your connection now and then to keep things moving. They could charge double and it'd still be a worthwhile purchase.

My dad had a Meccano set, one so old it came in a wooden box and everything  girders, gears, ball bearings, pulleys - was solid metal.  You could build any mechanical device imaginable with it.  Sadly, I never got into Erector/Meccano as a kid.  It was just too easy to click some Lego bricks together to create what I wanted.
Now that Im older and can appreciate dealing with all the fiddly bits, I decided to treat myself to the Nuts & Bolts Crawler Crane, and Im very happy I did.  It doesnt have the same range of parts as Meccano, but the end result is an impressive looking model with working features.
The quality of the metal pieces is very good, but the plastic pieces have a cheap feel to them.  I had to trim lots of flash (excess plastic) off the wheels, and one wheel had some superficial damage that luckily did not affect either the looks or the function of the finished model.  For the price I paid, I can overlook these minor shortcomings.  The instructions are complicated but clear enough that I had little difficulty with the assembly.  There was one exception: on the last page the black and white picture makes it impossible to distinguish between the grey rubber washers and the yellow plastic ones.  I was able to reason it out and make it work without too much annoyance.
Once assembled, all the features work as advertised.  I did make one improvement: I applied double-sided tape to the axle rod of the pulley that raises and lowers the crane boom.  This prevents the string from slipping when taking the weight of the boom.
Its important to note that although the age range is 6+, this is much more appropriate for teens and adults who have the patience to deal with very small parts and a good deal of complexity.  In kits of this type, most of the enjoyment comes from the build itself.

I purchased this to wash Lego bricks (Partly because any bags made for Lego bricks are way smaller and way more money) and it worked great!

I also plan to use this for some fingerless support gloves to prevent them from getting lost in the mix of a full load of laundry.

Way cheaper and just as good as Magna Tiles.  Definitely recommend!

I have a brick house and have been struggling drilling holes through the masonry.  This drill cuts through concrete, brick and stone like a knife through butter. And it's got a setting for regular drill mode.

Just like Legos!  These are great and so much more affordable that I don't mind if a piece or two get vacuumed up accidentally or go missing.  My boys don't even notice a difference - they love it!

Exactly the same item that brick and morter stores sell for almost 50% more!

We love our building bricks! They are perfect for my kids who love love love to build (ages 3,3, and 6). The pieces are great quality and hold together very well. The brick separators are a perfect addition as well, my 6 year old can use them without any problems. These bricks are 100% compatible with Lego but so much cheaper! I will certainly be buying more!!!

I cant just sit and watch a movie, so I sorted this awesome bag of building bricks by color and size. For the most part bricks are evenly distributed within a range of 5ish one way or another. The exception however are the 27 roof pieces which are only in maroon, white and pink. Better to have them all in the same colors than not have matching roof pieces. Wise decision there. There were a few 1x1 yellow pieces but no 1x1 beige pieces which leads me to believe poor lighting, eyesight or simple human error or fatigue happened at the factory one day. No big deal at all by me. We of course have bricks in those colors too. These are LEGO and BrickTek compatible. I have one of each in royal blue stuck in on one of the photos.

Normally I review brick sets with the assistance of my nearly four year old daughter, but this time I wanted to play a bit by myself while she was asleep and utilize that time to send her a positive message via the silly shelf elf (it was a gift). She has been making some odd boots with the bricks and I realized she is sorting by size. So, our Elf is imitating her perfectly imperfect for the moment style. We have reviewed the 500 piece bag in primary colors previously and play time lasted for over two hours. We don't play bricks everyday, but nearly everyday and it is easily her longest concentration stretch of the day with a minimum of 45 minutes of play. The vast majority of the bricks we have been using of late are Play Platoon. We do have some BrickTek and LEGO thrown in and have constant field tests of compatibility. There are compatible! And dare I say it? These bricks, to me, are a bit higher quality than BrickTek.  As a disclaimer, I did receive a discount on this item in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I do the bulk of my shopping on Amazon as I don't drive, and I too rely on reviews to make informed purchases. I do not give out four or five stars easily.
