This is a cool invention, but buy some tough tape
585928
My husband installed this in about five minutes. It heats the laundry room area nicely when the dryer is running. I haven't noticed any lint build-up in the trap, but I'm really faithful about cleaning out the lint trap on the dryer, so I don't think there's much blowing around in the hose. We've used this for about a week (that's 14 loads of laundry--we have kids) and it's great. I'm sure it'll be especially nice when the temps drop low enough that the basement is cold. In the summer I'll just close the flap to redirect the hot air outside.
Five months later:
It's still a pretty great thing to have around. I did have to tape it at every single joint and connection point with gorilla tape because it kept falling apart. The lint trap is finicky when you remove it, and it can be difficult to get back on considering that I have to lean over the top of my dryer and reach up to get to it. Don't buy this and think it's a plug-and-play deal. Buy this and buy gorilla tape and tape the whole thing together on day 1. It'll just be easier.

Was great with the led lights, only problem is 3m tape won't stick to the clip without roughing the surface up with some sandpaper

It works ok when the double sided tape will stay stuck to it.

Works well. Word of caution. The 3M double sided tape that is provided is SUPER strong. First attached it to the wall behind my TV and then I wanted to move it closer to the window the tape actually pulled out a chunk of the dry wall rather than coming off cleanly. Patch work needed on the wall now. Oh well. Live and learn.

Great concept,  but sticky tape came apart after 5 uses.

Hate that the tape tears apart so easily, but they do stick good!

It's "magic" stuff - in place of electric tape (better in many places) and useful in other applications as a hard plastic coating.

Battat makes some good, low-budget toys.  There are two design problems with this tape measure, however:

1)  The ratchet makes it difficult to turn and what parent wants another toy that makes annoying noise.  It is not as if real tape measures make clicking noises.  You can, however, open this toy up with the five screws and completely remove the ratchet.  That solves this problem entirely and makes the tape reel very easy to pull in.

2)  Unfortunately, as other parents have noted, the tape often gets lodged between the two plastic shells that form the housing.  Sometimes I can get it unstuck quickly, often I have to open the tape measure up again.

This would be a great, budget toy if it were designed properly. Unfortunately it is harder to use than a real tape measure.  This one is fun until it fails, and then it lies around with its tape all unwound waiting for  parental attention.  Battat, please redesign!

The idea's great -- I use my phone's GPS to keep tabs on how far and fast I bike (as well as to make sure I don't get irrevocably lost) so having my phone in front of my face while I bike sounds awesome.

It is pretty awesome, honestly -- but there are two major problems with this sucker that keep me from giving it a glowing review.

1) The release button on the back, which opens the arms (releasing the phone) *sticks*. And it's pretty hard to get that button dislodged. Thus, if you have to remove the phone in the middle of the ride, it's sometimes impossible to get it back in the holster without going at the stuck button with a screwdriver.

2) As others have said, the strap that's used to secure this to the bike handlebars is about an inch too short to get good leverage when you're pulling it taut. Once it *is* locked in, it usually stays put -- but getting it there can be tricky.

Other than these two things -- one of which is due to shoddy construction, and the other to poor engineering -- I do like this, and the price is good, too. Just be prepared to lever out the button, and be prepared to maneuver the strap onto your bike!

The tape has superior adhesive but isn't that hard to handle.  I have had one odd experience with it when I tried to use it on a hot day outside.  First the tape became very pliable making it a little hard to handle.  Next the tape sat in the sun as I worked for about 10 minutes and when I went to remove some from the roll it delaminated with the tape surface separating from the adhesive.  Once I brought it inside and scraped away the adhesive from the underlying tape surface it behaved normally, so if you're going to use it in the summer heat make sure you don't leave it directly in the sun before applying it.

Tape is one of those weird things that sound inconsequential, but that you have to care about.  If you're not discerning when it comes to your tape choices, the consequences can be pretty aggravating: peeling, curling, bleed-through, over-adhesion, under-adhesion, residue....the list goes on, and they all ruin your day....

Chances are, you have an ancient roll of beige masking tape sitting at the back a drawer somewhere, collecting lint, rippling around the edges, and drying out.  So do yourself a favor a get a fresh start.  I happen to like XFasten adhesive products, and I use them indoors and outdoors around the home---but this is the first time I've tried their masking tape, and it's impressive for a couple of reasons:

1.)  It's very white.  Not dingy beige like my old masking tape.  So you can make very nice quick labels for things, even with colored Sharpies, and the colors turn out exactly as you'd expect.

2.)  It feels slightly thinner, and yet at the same time, a little bit crisper, than standard masking tape--if that makes sense. It doesn't stretch out immediately and cause rippling and wrinkling, which means that you can get a fairly precise shape without a lot of curling and warping.  I just installed a new wireless doorbell, and the transmitter box is only about an inch wide, but it has a see-through window to write a small message, phone number, or name.  But how would you write some thing on shiny plastic?  And what if you don't want to make permanent ink markings anyway?  So I grabbed my new masking tape, cut a small piece the size of a postage stamp, wrote what I needed to in fine black Sharpie, and stuck that in the very small window slot.  It was a great solution to a situation where I didn't want visitors to have the first thing they saw be something sloppy and messy.

3.)  The adhesion is pretty good, but not ferocious.  It's stickier than washi tape, if that's a reference point, but not nearly as sticky as normal cellophane tape.  You can close a box with it, though I wouldnt use it for long term storage or shipping anything important, and it's extremely helpful for bundling. The weekly recycling pickup around here just got a lot more aggravating, since our area has a new, highly temperamental garbageman who will refuse to pick up your cardboard unless its not only flattened to death, but also cut into perfect 3 foot squares, stacked, aligned, and bundled neatly with twine or tape.  He'll abandon your recycling if it isn't bound together perfectly......ask me how I know.  After that debacle, I now have to cut and bundle my cardboard with laser-like precision and bookbinder skill.  I'm hoping this excellent masking tape is going to help me make perfect bundles so he doesn't stomp off in a huff again.......

This is good stuff, in a versatile width, from a company I trust---which is why it gets 5 stars from me.

Blue Lounge Cable Drop 6-pack - is like many other products, a Great Idea, but Poor engineering, so I'm assigning a 3.8 Star Rating, even though it will show up as 4 Stars, becasue I know how to squeeze more life from these products.
Since we live in the middle of the Pacific, we always have to either fabricate our own items, Or, take an item and Modify it, and is what I did with these cable drops, since my past expereince with any item that sports a mounting adhesive option, just don't work for the long-haul. including the 'suction-cup' hangers.

USES - For mounting 3 to 8 mm USB, ROUND, charging/sync cables, Earphone cables and larger 7.5 mm single cables.
with USB iPod/Iphone I can mount 2 to 3 easily. I bought these for strictly for Modification.

How-To-Mount on Wood & Metal Suggestions - - Disclaimer: any modification may cancel the terms of a warranty.

1. Tools - small drill set + Bosch Lithium Driver + an array of different sized, brass picture hanging wood screws (phillips head).
2. To mount on Wood (Permanently) - I drilled a 1/32 hole about a 3/8 inches down from the top collar opening of cable drop. Then used a 1/8 inch brass, flathead WOOD screw to mount on a 24 x 2 x 0.5 inch board strip, already on the wall next to my desk.
Note - I did NOT remove the adhessive protective cover, just drilled through it.

3. To mount on Metal surface - first, locate a Magnet that is about the same size as the adhesive back, ~ 1 inch, I got mine from some of the old beer bottle plastic/metal openers, from Wally-World, and the magnets are EZ to remove.
Then, take the adhesive backing OFF and stick to one side of the Magnet. I placed a Book on top for a few minutes.
Now, you can stick cable drop on any Metal surface, and hang your cables.

4. Recommended Adhesive - If you decide just to use the cable drop as is, without any modifications, but they are starting to lose the adhesive sticking ability; Then, I recommend getting a 1 fl.oz tube of either, 3M or Loctite Vinyl/Plastic Flexible Adhesive, as it has worked well for me, I'm sure that other reviewers may have other recommendations too.

Thanks for stopping by ...

Does what it says it does, but is a VERY delicate device and requires careful handling.

Cool product, unfortunately the holders easily come of the hanger, and the two sides tape provided is unsatisfactory. Luckily modifications can be made to make this a great product.

Got this by someone recommended it. I needed it for my custom ribbons for a convention. I used it and it was great at first. On day 3 during the convention, the tape started to come off and I had to use another piece of it. It is not really permanent. Be careful on using this product.

It's a bit difficult to you. I can't just grab a piece of tape with one hand i have to use two because it moves all over the place. So I gave it away.

There is no protective layer to peel off of the tape. Both sides of the tape are adhesive when you unroll it from the tube (after the first 4 inches of protective tape). This is a stupid design because if you don't use extra tape and are not careful, your fingers will rub the adhesive off on one side and it won't stick as much as it should.
