Installed in Southern California nearish the coast. The kit is relatively simple to install. Following the instructions of slicing the ground, splitting it, and pushing the line into the ground is kind of garbage though. I started that way, and it didn't work well. The tube goes down fine. The sprinklers don't. And since the sprinklers need to be set deep, the entire line needs to be set deep, as the tubing is pretty rigid. It is a plastic tube, so it isn't as flexible as it seems. It is better to just trench it out, then lay in and backfill the trench. Kind of defeats the purpose, but it's still a whole lot easier than trying to work with PVC.

Use a tarp to keep the dirt so you put it back where it belongs, instead of trenching, piling the dirt along the side of the trench, then losing half the dirt you pulled out in the grass (like I did).

The sprinklers themselves have good coverage and are fairly easy to adjust. Not as easy to adjust as others, but much better than trying to use fixed distance/angle sprinklers.

it was okay.......had to put a lot of coats on the already painted item......Its a little pricy, but for some craft applications it may work great!  Thats just my  experience with it.  I  am  kind of  a  old school......(oil base)  paint crafter!

It works fine if I just have a coupe of small things to airbrush, but if I want to run if for more than a couple minutes it overheats and shuts off.

There are times when the tank doesn't even finish filling before the pump shuts off and I have to turn it off for a few minutes before it'll kick back on again.

Honestly, if you need a compressor, pay more and get something better. I thought this would fit my bill, but it just isn't built to handle anything at all.

Have 18 ft of wrought iron railing (w/vertical posts every 6" and 3 sections of curving decoration)  that has gathered 50+ yrs of paint and rust. I use liquid stripper first, then finish up w/these. Lowes ran out and we had to buy a lesser version that was the wheel brush and parts to assemble it to drill bit...and the brush was a very substandard/poor imitation of 3M's version of wheel brush with bit attached. If you happen across the 'needing assembly' one, don't bother buying. The wheel brush MELTS and looses effectiveness.
As for the 3M wheel brush, I got a good 5ft of stripping done before wearing down completely. Plan your project so you're starting w/the larger areas first, and as the wheel wears down, tackle the smaller areas. For wrought iron nooks and crannies, it's very effective and even in the areas the liquid stripper did not work, the wheel removed at least 3 layers of paint and all the rust. Yes, I'm sure it also removes the metal along w/it, which is why I wouldn't recommend this for wood.

It does just Ok job. You have to be very careful how much paint you apply and how much pressure you put on when using it. It still leaves a small void near the ceiling.

I am not a fan of these pen-type paint applicators. Yes you can dab some color on a scratch, but if you want a smooth finish and a non-noticeable repair it will be hard to achieve. Also, they clog up or clump if you try to use them more than once. The first use is not so bad but you might as well throw it away after that.

If you just want a cheap way to cover an unsightly mark, that's what you get. If that fits what you need then this is a good product.

I wouldn't consider this fine, it is fairly aggressive and unless you're removing heavy rust I wouldn't recommend this unless you're going to completely refinish whatever you're cleaning. Also loses quite a few bristles. Get what you pay for.

This was about as average as a paintbrush van get. It does nothing really well. At the same time, it doesn't shed too much and holds a decent amount of paint. Someone else had cleaned it, and although it was completely dry water dripped out of the rubber handle when I began painting again. It was baffling for a few seconds, then I just kept on painting. If you want a $5-$7 brush. You get a $5-$7 brush.

It works...kind of.  Not the best solution for draining a tank I have ever used.  The pump is incredibly cheap, the hose that comes with it is very stiff, and mine was crimped.  I was able to complete the draining of the tank, but it took WAY more work than it should have with this purpose-built pump.  I'd not buy it again.

If you have a lot of paints, brushes and all the usual modeling paraphernalia this is a good way to keep them organized and move them from place to place. Just be careful when moving it while loaded - the modular design is a plus in theory, but there's no way to "lock" the sections together, so it can fall apart when you lift it up.

Works well enough. Paint chipped off pretty easily. Good, not great.

It works... but.  The pads are thin and compress too easily. My initial tie-down led to some shifting in the wind on the freeway. Tightening the straps enough to prevent shifting caused screw heads on the canoe's gunnels to contact the top of my car, leaving two little scraped out divots on each side of the roof at the end of the trip. Moving the pads closer to prevent contact betweent the screw heads and the car's paint required further tightening to compensate for the lack of mechanical advantage of having them further apart which caused them to compress even more, and develop small splits which I am sure will become larger and lead to failure after a few more trips. I would recommend a carrier kit with larger, stiffer pads.

Not a fan. I bought it for face painting since it came highly recommended by another face painter. The area to rinse your brush is so shallow and small that I found that I had to flush the water after each face I painted to keep the water looking decent which means you run out fairly quickly. Also, when you flush it the new water comes in at the same time that the old water is going out so as the two mix some of the new water gets drained with the old and some of the old water stays in with the new and your water is never really clean. In the end I went back to my 2 cup system: one cup to get the bulk of the paint off and one for the final rinse. This system keeps my brushes cleaner and when the water needs to be changed I get a completely fresh start. A great idea but has some real flaws.

This marker gets the job done, but with a lot of trouble. The paint and/or ink does not flow as easily.

I thought this product was rather useless. You basically need to use equal parts of this to paint in order for it to work, which mean you best have less than half a gallon of paint to get rid of.  I was trying to get rid of cans of paint left by a previous home owner, and most cans were 3/4 to 7/8 full, so I couldn't use this product on those cans.  But even in cans with 1/3 to 1/2 paint, this was a mess.  Because you're mixing so much of this saw-dust like material in, you'll be stirring a lot and mixing a lot of it. Also, drying time can be lengthy.  After a few days of waiting for it to harden enough, I gave up and bought some more traditional hardener, which worked like a charm. I imagine the reviewers for whom this product worked well likely had less than 1/4 gallon of paint to harden.

I wouldn't recommend this for professionals looking to upgrade their old Cintiq, but the F350 gets the job done. Out of the box in Ubuntu 10.10, I'm coloring away in GIMP. It takes a little more patience, and the pen acts like a dripping paintbrush, but think of it this way: if you can use this tablet to bootstrap your way to a Wacom - by selling commissions on DeviantArt, say - then it's money well spent. That said, what travails await?

I don't know if the two buttons on the pen work, but they were not configured. You have to lift the pen a few inches from the tablet surface and lower it again for it to hover. Sometimes, this behavior is not recognized, and you have to guess at where the pen will land, and then hit Ctrl-Z for the inadvertent paint blob. (But the hover kicks in again.)
