I purchased this light a few monts back and was waiting to see how it performs for the longer period.  I could have waited longer for a more accurate assessment of its longevity, but I liked this light so much that decided to put up my review now.  This is one bright monster light!  It is ideal for riding in pitch black conditions as it will provide enough light to your whole group.  I also purchased a car charger for charging the light in my truck during camping trips, and a wall charger for charging it in my garage.  The very first reactions coming from my fiends were "WOW, its so bright"

Used this for years.  One of the best out there.

I've used some of the finest knives made, and this one is right up there with the best, but at a more reasonable price than many. The blade is NOT too thick - don't know what that's about. I am a female with smallish hands and I find it absolutely balanced and easy to work with. And a knife is SUPPOSED to be as sharp as possible - dull knives are the most dangerous!  I just love it and use it every day, in fact bought a whole set just based on how pleasing this one is to use, not to mention to look at!  BIG RAVES!!

I buy so many of these things, This one is one of the good ones!

This is my first full frame DSLR. I'm upgrading from a Canon 50D which I have loved the past 3.5 years. This is a stellar piece of equipment, more so than I expected (and I expected a lot)!

I have now used it for about a week, and have found that there is a little learning curve to upgrade, but it's well worth it. Here are some of my observations:

* Image quality is fantastic. This should be expected from a full frame DSLR with L quality lens. I had heard that the 24-105 is good, but not great for L lenses. But I have found the sharpness, colors, and bokeh to be outstanding.

* This camera feels like a tank. My old 50D felt really good and strong, and took a bit of a beating, but never missed a beat. The 5D mark iii feels much more sturdy, so I know it will hold up to many years of use in wet, cold, snow, sand, woods, and a toddler.

* The shutter is so much quieter than the 50D, even went NOT using the silent shutter mode. The mirror slap is very quiet (maybe not Nikon quiet, but close). I feel like I can be stealthier with this camera.

* The auto focus is amazing. This is especially true with the 1.2.1 firmware. It's so fast to lock on that I often find myself second guessing if it got the lock. And the AI servo mode tracks spectacularly well.

* The buttons are WAY more programable than I expected. There is a menu option that lets you change the functions of EIGHT different buttons. This includes the newly placed DOF preview button, which I never used as a DOF preview, so I'm glad it's no longer useless. It's definitely taking me a bit of time to get used to the new layout (especially the left side buttons), but I'm sure it won't be long until it's natural.

* The bracketed exposures can be set to 2, 3, 5, or 7 exposures! This is great news for me, as I like to take shots for HDR merges. I always found it annoying to mess with the exposure settings to get a series of 7 shots. Using this, I could go -8 1/3 to + 8 1/3 with just holding down the shutter once. That is a huge range!

* Using the electronic level in the viewfinder is a little tricky. It's much easier in live view mode. This could make for a bit of a drain on the battery, although...

* Battery life is outstanding. So far, I have taken 359 shots, and the battery is at 70%. At this rate, I would get approximately 1200 images before depleting the battery. And this is with a lot of image review, settings, etc. So the battery life could be much longer if I wasn't in the menus so much.

* Vignetting is the one major downside I have to contest with. Because I shoot RAW, I have to handle it in post processing. It's not the worst thing, but it is a bit of a pain. This is to be expected wit ha full frame camera and a wide lens.

Overall I am extremely pleased!

This has ALL the bells and whistles you could ever want as a DJ.  I'm still exploring its capabilities, and I've been using it for over a year. This is a sturdy unit with a steel frame, and has heavy duty knobs and sliders with very positive and consistent ranges.  There are a million ways you can interface this thing with other sound inputs and outputs, and it is very forgiving about input voltages.  I'm a fan!

I previously owned one of the 1st gen 7" Asus Eee machines, and an Acer Aspire One netbook, and I can definitely say that this is the best machine of the bunch !

I purchased the white one, since the blue one seems to be on backorder forever.  The matte screen is nice and easy to read, the keyboard is AWESOME - I can touch type without any issues whatsoever.  Battery life is incredible - I am easily getting 6 or 7 hours a charge, without paying attention to conserving power at all.  Also, one of the things I like the most is that the balance is right - there is enough weight below the keyboard that it wants to sit like a regular notebook.  On the Acer Aspire One, the screen weighs about as much as the keyboard, so it always wants to tip back...  Another minor positive is that the slip case is better than the Acer Aspire one - it's sort of a fake-suede bag with a flip cover.  Finally, it came with very little bloatware on it - I uninstalled the trial of McCafee and installed the free AVG antivirus software, and that's about it...

This is a very slick little machine.  If you can handle the extra weight vs. the 9" models like the Acer Aspire One, this seems to be about as good as it gets !

I first reviewed this product back in 2007.  10 years later I still have the SAME unit and it STILL works great!  I honestly thought this thing would have died by now.  They have added some features to this unit since my original review, so I'm updating my original review to avoid any confusion with the features that the current model has.

This unit is one of the most powerful portable battery jumpers out there at 1700 peak amps. That's almost twice as powerful as many other lower quality competitors.  If you look at professional garages and towing companies, they are usually using a Jump-n-Carry device.

This is not a multi-purpose unit that you will find at the local big box store. It's not an air compressor, radio, flashlight, food processor and battery jumper. It's only a battery jumper, although it does have a "cigarette-lighter" style socket to power other items if needed.

This is a great product, but consider this before you buy it: This model may not be for everyone. This is a professional grade tool and is not intended to be used by people unfamiliar with proper battery jumping procedures. I say this for 2 reasons...

1. Some battery jumping devices have a feature that will alert you if you hook the jumper cables up incorrectly. This unit has no such feature.

2. Some have safety switches that remove power to the cables while you are hooking them up. This unit has no such switch.  Jump-N-Carry cables are live ALL THE TIME.

So if you're looking for a jumper box for your kids or an automotive novice, you may be better off with another model with more "goof-proof" safety features.

This thing is also kind of bulky/heavy at 18lbs.  So keep that in mind.  I usually carry a smaller, more pedestrian-level jumper box in my car that is less powerful.  But when it gets really cold out or someone specifically asks me for jump-starting assistance, I grab my Jump-n-Carry!

One last comment: This Jump n Carry comes with a redeemable certificate for a one-time replacement unit. If (for ANY reason) this unit stops working during its lifetime, you send it back to the company with the certificate (along with $50) and they will repair or replace it, no questions asked. Edit - 10 years later (2017), I have no idea if the same deal exists.  If it does, I'm guessing the fee is more than $50 now)
Bottom Line: If you need the most power in a single-purpose jumper box (and you know what you're doing), buy this one!

An excellent product.  I recommend it highly!

I have used many a rotary tool, and I would say this is the best in its class. It is well designed and the details are honed. It is really much better than its price suggests. The reasons it is well designed include: the Fliplock, the speed control, the grip, and the motor.

The Fliplock is the best feature of this tool, and it really sets it apart from its peers. If you have messed with the collets on other rotary tools, you will be amazed the first time you use the RTX's Fliplock. It is also an important safety feature, as the tool will not turn on with the Fliplock locked. It even has a grippy rubber on the Fliplock that I like the feel of.

The speed control. It says it's 3-speed, but in fact it has infinite control between (and above and below) these speeds. It goes below the 1 and above the 3.

The grip is as nice as it can be. How holdable a rotary tool is makes a huge difference when doing intricate work. For this type of work, the tool is held like a pencil near the tip. Ideally this would be a small area, however it must have some width as it has the spindle going through it. I really feel that the RTX makes the best use of this space. They placed rubber there and made it thin in one direction (see pictures). This makes it easy to control like a pencil.

I can't stand those whiny Dremel motors! This motor is a dream in comparison. It is merely a quiet whir. It is powerful, keeps its torque, and heats up a lot less than the Dremel I have used.

Overall, I have no flaws with this tool. I think that it is designed well to the last detail. The fact that I can get it so affordably is really a steal. There is the RTX-B and RTX-6. They are the same tool, GET WHICHEVER IS CHEAPER AT THE TIME YOU PURCHASE. You won't be disappointed.

This camera has truly been a leader of its time among other competitors. There are things to improve but the most important - image quality - is really outstanding and still one of the best at ISO 100-1600 at the day of the review.

I bought this from a friend (hence no verified purchase) but felt the reviews here didn't do it justice so I'm adding my two cents. I love it and here's why. It's huge! Almost 13 inches across, it's also a wacom drawing pad that has incredible precision with pressure points for drawing. On top of that - it's a portable computer! Mine has windows 10 on it, and a whole bunch of other stuff that makes it personal. Now -  the sound has a lot to be desired (but you can always use headphone jacks or Bluetooth speakers) to remedy that. It does have some weight to it - but that's because it's a powerhouse little pc. It's also water resistant (there's YouTube videos of a guy snorkeling with his) and there is a keyboard you can buy separately to make it into a laptop. The battery life is impressively long, and I can go on and on. Elsewhere - this is normally a $1600 ultra-book that is only two years old (made in early 2014) so I'm also happy with that. Can it be better? Of course. Anything can - but Fujitsu really made a quality product that in my opinion deserves the five stars I'm giving it.

I've had this laptop for a couple of months now, and I am very satisfied with it. Very fast overall, and the display resolution is very detailed and clear. For any of the thousands of laptops out there, you can more or less know what to expect when you review the specs. But what separates this laptop from any laptop of the same specs is its design. You sit at a coffee shop with someone using a quadcore i7 of another brand/model, and this particular laptop will absolutely turn more heads. Beauty with performance, I can't ask for more.

It is one of the best of its kind! I recommend it to my students. The glossaries could be more extensive though because of the target audience. Keep up the good work!!!

Have owned this product for years and have enjoyed it all the way.  The instrument sounds amazing and the tone just gives one joy when played!  Sounds great plugged in or acoustic.  Tuning to different scales or pitch patterns is really easy to do, and having a chromatic tuner makes it a quick process.
It's small enough to go anywhere, and being an acoustic instrument, you don't need anything else to make joyful music on the go.  Best part is being able to plug it into an amp via the 1/4 inch jack for entertaining friends (or an audience), or into a recording device for recording purposes.
The design is really sleek and simple, but sturdy and functional.  It's not awkward to hold in the hands at all.  Solid wood/metal construction feels durable, yet it's very lightweight so doesn't tire the hands, wrists, or forearms when playing for extended periods.
This is an instrument that can be enjoyed by anyone, even non-musicians, because it is really easy to learn how to play and sound good on!  Thanks to the internet, there are tons of resources for teaching yourself how to play this instrument.  Hard to beat it!

Hands down, the best in its class. I own two.

As with all Mac products, this is yet another great computer. Whether you're a student, business professional, multimedia person, or just a regular consumer looking for their next personal computer, this is it! The screen is simply beautiful. Reading text is like you're reading a book - you can't distinguish pixels, even if you get your eyes an inch away from the screen. Also, the design of the computer is sleek and surprisingly thin. The computer is also really fast. I'll play games once in a while, use intensive programs such as Photoshop and movie editing software, etc., and I am very impressed with its performance. I wouldn't consider the lack of an optical drive a con, because you can simply buy an external drive if you need it that badly (I can't remember the last time I used an optical disc on my computer).
