Poorly designed, bleeding knuckles

Absolutely horrible product. The way you keep the lid on the bowl is to hold the little "lip" area, except you hit your left hand with the knob as you rotate it around with your right. (assuming you are right handed ;)  The lid does not stay on the bowl if you do not hold the lip area, and the bowl is so light weight that flies all over the counter if you don't hold it firmly = hitting your hand = cut knuckles. My husband hates it even more than i do.

When I took a gamble on this my primary concern was that it would be too wobbly or "sag," this did not occur. But the design is fatally flawed in other ways.

What you will notice first is that there is a HUGE hinge right where your knees go  (picture 1) and after four of five excruciating whacks I have given up. This alone is enough reason to return it.

Bizarrely there is no thumb screw to adjust the mouse tray, you have to use a wrench. There is a thumb screw to slide the tray left-or-right but not to adjust the tilt. (picture 2)

In addition, a huge and very sharp screw protrudes from the left side (picture 3.)

And, to add insult to injury I'm expected to pay return shipping.

Stay away.

(Also, the company issues VERY creepy emails. Amazon REALLY needs to crack down on marketplace seller email it's getting annoying.)

These tongs have a terrible design.  The HUGE flaw is at the point where the handle tapers down and goes into the gripper end thingys.  When you try to grip something hard by squeezing, those points on either side touch then as you squeeze the grippers come apart.

Yes, as you squeeze harder IT LETS GO OF WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO GRIP.  I was trying to put chicken on the grill and the chicken wasn't gripping, so I squeezed harder and it dropped on my porch.  I tried another and same result.

I am going to go get me some oxo metal tongs.

It sounded like a great idea, and I was sold. I'm in an apartment and using a chisel to punch holes is a pretty loud operation, and these pliers promised a silent method. As a considerate neighbor I thought I should give it a try. That was, unfortunately, a bit of a mistake.  Really, the product could have been engineered in such a way that it actually worked, but unfortunately the quality turns use of this tool into a somewhat dangerous proposition.

First, the tines on the teeth aren't all straight. Which means what should be a lovely straight series of stitch holes (. . . .) ends up looking terrible (. ` - .).  So the whole *point* of using a tool to make your stitch holes instead of winging them with an awl is entirely dismissed.

Second, if you do manage to straighten the tines the best you can with a pair of pliers (and even if you don't) it won't actually cut holes all the way through the leather.  That's right, the hole punch can't punch holes. it punches most of a hole, leaving about half a millimeter of material that you have to either punch out yourself with a second tool (again, what's the point of a hole punch that can't punch?) or you have to hope your needles are up to the task and you are strong enough. I went for the latter and pretty well injured myself while stitching (first stitching injury ever).

Third, it's coated in some pretty nasty stinky grease that's hard to get off. Since this is for leatherworking that sort of sucks, because all that grease is going to mar and gunk up your leather if you don't clean it all off. And since it's made of steel, if you try to use soap and water to do it you'll rust it out.

To summarize, it's a great idea, but since they cut pretty much every corner it not only can't perform its function, it's likely to cost you even more outside of this purchase. Save yourself the time and headache and just stick with stitch chisels, since you can buy 4-5 in different sizes for the price of this non-tool.

This is a neat idea but poorly executed. The positives are that it's easy to squeeze the handle and the open design makes it easy to see where you are punching. Now, on to the flaws:
1. The punch binds/jams frequently even when cutting a single sheet of normal paper. It's my sense that this is because the cutting surfaces are just not manufactured to very high precision.
2. The edges of the cut circle are not as clean as they could be, again because of low-precision metal parts.
3. The space between the edge of the paper and where you can punch (another reviewer referred to this as the "throat") is very small, which really limits the range of use for this punch. This is not an issue if you want to use the punched-out circles, but a major problem if you want to use the paper in which you've punched holes. I tried folding the paper in half, but even when you get the precision right so that you have a perfect circle (not as hard as it sounds), the punch seems even more likely to bind up on the paper when it is folded.
I'll probably struggle through my project with this punch, but I would not recommend it to others.

I have been looking all over for reasonably priced touch screen gloves, and thought these might be better than the ones that make your fingers cold because the finger tips are thin to allow your skin to make contact with the conductive threads.  Even though I read that one reviewer thought the magnets were in the wrong places, I decided to try the gloves anyway. They fit perfectly, but, not only are the magnets in the wrong places, but don't they don't work well.  They are placed right where your knuckles are, so that it hurts to bend your hand.  Then, it is difficult to get the finger tip off and try to attach it to the magnet when you want to use a touch screen.

In my case, the magnets didn't even hold, it was too hard to get the finger tips off, and the magnets were poorly placed and hurt.  I considered this a manufacturing problem; but when I tried to return them (within the 30 days), I had to wait for "vendor approval" to return them, then I only received an plain address label, which told me to put on my own postage!! I would never buy anything from this manufacturer/vendor again; and I would have thought Amazon would have stood behind their returns better.  I should not have had to pay to return this poorly designed item.  I would not recommend these gloves; they are a gimmick that does not work.

This is a terribly designed product. Look elsewhere. The distance between the blades and the outside of the blender are too far and things just end up getting stuck up there. It took me like 5 minutes to blend cauliflower puree and it still ended up having chunks. The "safety" button is also just a hassle and makes this a two handed operation if you don't have giant hands. I can only imagine how hard it would be if you had arthritis. Don't buy it. I had a Braun hand blender that I'd had for over 12 years that I only gave up because it was starting to not blend as smoothly. Wish I had kept it!

Bought these because the price caught my eye...my mistake. Although the design is attractive, after the first time using my knuckles were covered in bleeding blisters. I didn't think anything of it until it happened over and over again even when I wrapped my hands underneath. My knuckles were painful and infected for weeks. Never happened with any of my other gloves. Also, got very dirty fast & stitches started coming out within the first month. You're getting what you pay for I guess.

A major design flaw irks me with every washthe 'plunger handle' (or whatever the round disk on the very top of plunger is called) is threaded the same way as the screen holder on the very bottom of the plunger; therefore, when trying to loosen the screens to disassemble when washing, a pair of pliers are needed to hold the stem...top twists off when trying to hold the plunger top and unscrew the screens.

I am forced to reach for the pliers with every cleaning and I think sinful words for the designers of this press.

I give them two stars merely because it 'works.'

Poor design. Tiny finger holes, giant wrist, not enough grip for strap to latch on at any size proportionate to the fingers. Not sure whose hands these are designed to fit, but I'm not impressed at all.

Pinches arm so badly, causing injury and bruising...returned for refund.

First, the sizing.  It's awful.  I have bought gloves, including bike gloves and ski gloves, in Australia (where I live), from the US, and from Europe.  Size XL has always been fine.  With these, XL feels like my hand is squeezed tight.  Gripping the handlebars of my bike, the pressure gets worse.

They are very difficult to take off, as the removal tag just doesn't work.  It only helps with the small and ring fingers, and the real problem is at the other end - can you believe that the hole for the thumb is the same size as for the fingers?  (And, therefore, far too small, of course).  As a result, all the work in taking the gloves off is at the thumb end, where the removal tag is no help at all.  Great design!

On top of that, the gel padding is so thin as to be almost worthless.
Whatever else you buy, it's almost certain to be better than this.

A waste of money! Looks great and is built of high quality materials, however it has serious design flaws. Due to the design of the articulation adjustments, if your arm moves to the right or left, the armature pivots in two places which swings your arm and wrist from an ergonomic position into a very un-ergonomic position. Then when I wanted to return it, they wanted me to pay for shipping and wouldn't accept it back uless it was packed as originally shipped. I could not figure out how to put it back into the odd triangluar box it came in, so it would be accepted for return. Also, the company indicated that I needed an return authorization number on the return package, but failed to supply one or to inform me how to obtain one. Bad product/bad company.

These combo gloves were an interesting idea, but unfortunately they fail as both boxing gloves and grappling gloves.
These gloves leave your fingers exposed underneath (they slide into individual finger slots), and have heaving padding over the knuckles and back of hand, and even a small pad over the thumb. When punching they slide backwards on impact, exposing your lower knuckles and risking damage; even wraps fail to add adequate protection. When the gloves slide backwards they also put pressure on your closest knuckles and the back of your hands. The padding on the back of the glove adds too much stiffness to allow full expansion of the hand, and doesn't allow you to grab easily or firmly when grappling. It's possible that these gloves will break in more with time, but I've never had gloves that needed that type of wear to protect my hands properly.
I would recommend traditional boxing gloves for punching bags and regular MMA gloves for grappling.

I travel a great deal - mostly long haul international with large duffels and cases. I decided to buy these based on the good Amazon reviews. I beg to disagree with the 4 or 5 star ratings. These are poorly designed. The flap is, contrary to what might think looking at the photos, not secured by the strap (as are other luggage tags), so they flap open. The material is WAY heavier than it needs to be - and not in a way that adds strength. They have an unnecessary layer of felt like material that would be fine in a ladies fashion accessory, but serve no purpose in a luggage tag other than to add weight. In fact, This felt material impedes the tendency for the strap to close by causing a spring tension that leads to the buckle slipping out of the eyelets. Basically there are multiple design failure with this model. All a luggage label has to do is stay on, be light weight, and cover your name. It pretty well fails at these simple tasks.

I love the design of this bag but it was uncomfortable.  I also finally figured out why I kept get bleeding scrapes on my hand.  The interior of the bag contains metal around the drawstring and they were cutting my hands.  I would have preferred to return this product but will just add it to my donations.

These will slip off and damage the clamp as well as skin your knuckles.
Maybe if you were in a place with good access to the clamp it would work. I was despirate when I bought these and just wasted money
