Poorly made, poor materials
I purchased these bits Aug 2004. Chinese made I believe. Put a bit in my delta drill press and noticed that the business end had a significant wobble. Took the bit out and laid it flat on my granite surface plate to check its straightness. Significant deflection of straightness showed up... checked several other of the drill bits... all were deflected, none really straight. And... upon stress the bit simply bent in my hand. Decent bits are relatively ridged, stiff. So I advise not to buy these drills... poor materials, poorly made. You will be disappointed. | 0negative

Not as expected
Item I received has 1/4 cutting diameter but not 1/4 shank diameter, it has 3/8 shank diameter, so that I can't mount it in my 1/4 fixed collet, useless. Missinformed item or wrongly shipped. | 0negative

Total garbage
Worst quality endmill Ive ever seen. Probably fine if youre using it to cut styrofoam or something. Used to take some light cuts on aluminum, 3" DOC, 7500 RPM, .010 stepover, 60IPM, and the thing exploded. | 0negative

brass sliding caliper
This caliper is made of good material, but is so cheaply designed that it slides only with difficulty. This makes it awkward to use while holding the object I want to measure and the caliper at the same time. I had purchased it to carry with me, but a ruler would be a better choice. I would not purchase this product again. | 0negative

Inexpensive and durable
I had been going through o-rings on our tube filling machine like crazy. I had to replace it once a week or more often. I decided to order this 25 pack since it was so inexpensive. It's been a month and a half and I have not yet replaced the first one of these. They seem to be extremely durable so far. | 1positive

much cheaper than dealership and works just as well

Nice gloves but stitching does not hold up
I purchased these gloves in January of this year... I didn't really get a chance to use them much but when, in March I finally got a chance to put them on and use them the stitching on the wrist disintegrated. Presently the elastic band at the bottom is just dangling and although usable... the gloves should not have come apart after one use. Because I have gone past the refund limit from Amazon I am not stuck with these gloves...this should be a warning to others.... try out your merchandise as soon as you get it.... put some wear on it... then you might stand a chance of getting a new item when you find it is faulty. My fault this time...The gloves do look and fit pretty well though.... | 0negative

Impact 2 Review
The fit was perfect, they felt great right off. but after Using the gloves for 20 minutes throwing bricks and rubble around three of the ten finger tip seam's broke apart and I can no longer use them because if I try my fingers will just get cut up...not why I bought these gloves. | 0negative

One Tough Little Flat Bed Cart
I recently bought this cart from Pro-line via Amazon.com and I am very happy with its overall design and performance. It is large enough to hold six 5-gallon water bottles and the wheels & steering work pretty good, even with a heavy load. My only criticism would be that I thought [...] the assembly instructions needed to include a version in English. Thankfully installing the wheels wasn't that difficult. Overall, I'm glad I purchased this cart. It has made my life a lot easier getting heavy water bottles from my car to my front door in one trip. | 1positive

Terrible, terrible product.
I choose to rate this item as 1-star since it came at a much larger size than I wanted. I wanted a 2" ID instead I got a 3" ID which is a ridiculous size bigger, when I check my order it says that I did order the 3" which is completely wrong because I had my measurements all written down when I was ordering. I'd recommend never purchasing from this company since they will not give you the correct item. | 0negative

021 Viton O-Ring
I was having blow back issues with my 12gauge, and all the suggestions pointed to my gas ports, and the O ring. Now that I have replaced it, I need to get out and shoot again. Hopefully this was the fix. The only draw back with this product, is that you receive a "Costco" supply; more than enough for a lifetime. | 1positive

Stainless Steel (316) Bar 1/4 x 1 1/2 x 12 as advertised for $13.16
If you know what grade 316 stainless is and are familiar with its proffered and how to machine it,all I can say its they delivered what was promised without any problems: an unpolished rectangle/flat bar 1/4" thick, 1 1/2" wide, 12" long for a little over $13.00.For background stainless steel 316 is one of the most corrosion resistant of all the common "austenitic" (any grade of stainless in the 300 range) stainless steels. It is sometimes called marine grade stainless because it resists corrosion even in the presence of saltwater. It is often called A4 stainless on metric sized fasteners.If you plan on using this for a project requiring machining -- like drilling or milling -- keep a couple things in mind:1) Don't even think about trying to drill without coolant. If you value your drill bits life, use LOTS of it, literally keep flooding the area with coolant from start to stop. If you don't have any real coolant, try regular olive oil.2) You can drill this with high speed steel drill bits, but cobalt bits will last longer because this process generates heat that cobalt can deal with better than high speed steel. If possible use a drill with an angle around 135 and if you can use a shorter "screw machine" or "stub" length drill rather than the standard "jobber" length.3) Drill a with lot slower rpm than you are used to for regular steel or (especially aluminum) and keep the pressure on. If you need to disengage from the cut, pull it back completely out of the hole immediately -- never let the drill just stay rotating in the hole without a good bit of pressure applied. It is much easier to do this on a drill press or mill than with a hand held drill because you can maintain pressure without flexing the bit (which can cause it to snap) more easily on a press.4) Make sure your bits are SHARP. Don't even bother trying if your bit is the least bit dull or worn.5) You can do this even if you've never machined/drilled a significant hole in a real metal before -- I first learned about metal cutting using Titanium 6al4v, which is a lot like this material as far as drilling / milling strategy goes. I never understood why people said it was so difficult to machine until later when I worked on mild steel and aluminum -- if you're used to those metals or try to machine this like it is those metals, you will likely be quite frustrated.6) This product comes unfinished (scratchy). If you want it to look half decent, use a disc or belt sander, start at 80 grit and work your way up to 400 to 600. It should look pretty decent by then. If not, move on to buffing with buffing wheels and appropriate compounds.I hope this provides a decent review of my transaction, plus what this stuff is used for and what to do with it so people can decide whether its appropriate for whatever project they're working on. | 1positive

Disappointing, <50% success rate for hanging and removing
Got over 40 of these to hang a gallery of pictures and not have to fill the newly painted walls with nails. None of the pictures go over the .5 lb rating. I've had 4 pull off the wall removing paint and drywall (while the pictures were hanging) and 2 hooks break dropping my pictures to the floor and breaking the glass. Too many of the photographs are irreplaceable so I have been removing all the hooks and putting nails back in.I'm having a <50% success rate getting the hooks off the wall. About half are coming off with no damage as advertised BUT the other half is not going so great: adhesive breaks while trying to remove and some of the adhesive is still damaging the walls. My suggestion to anyone else who is trying to remove these when the adhesive strip tears is to break off the bottom of the plastic hook and with a fingernail scrape the bottom of the adhesive strip to continue pulling straight down.3M has always had great quality products but these are a HUGE disappointment. We've had the same problems with the bigger ball-hooks too. I don't recommend for anything of value that you wouldn't want to come crashing down in the night. | 0negative

Wrong picture
The photograph shows the two strap, two ratchet model which really works well (my son has one). However. After two tries, the one you get is a single strap model. I checked the manufacturer's website, and sure enough, the model number is for their single strap version.I ordered this one because the weight was comparable to aluminum models. If you're satisfied with a single strap, it should meet your needs. The price is reasonable. Just know that the picture does not show what you will be getting. | 0negative

Does not stick
The adhesive backing on this product does not stick well. I followed the directions, making sure the surface was clean, and applied the weather stripping. The next morning most of the weather stripping had fallen off. | 0negative

Brass Machine Screws
The advantage of using brass screws is that they are relatively easy to cut cleanly to length. Either use a screw cutter or thread a nut above the point to cut and cut the screw then unscrew the nut over the cut to straighten the thread area back out.The second advantage of brass is that it is relatively corrosion resistant - it will eventually darken but never rust.Brass is strong enough for most home uses - obviously for automotive or aircraft use stainless steel is required.These are well made brass screws at a reasonable price. | 1positive

Great replacement for Nissan spill proof travel mug
I bought these o-rings as a replacement on my Nissan spill proof travel mug. I use this mug all the time. It will keep a cup of freshly made tea or coffee hot for 3-4 hours if left closed, or at the right drinking temperature for a full hour. I tried to find a replacement for the o-ring at the Nissan website but could not. These o-rings are an excellent replacement. The mug closes water tight and works like new. Highly recommended for this application. | 1positive

thin washers should be of higher quality
When you buy stainless fasteners you usually get not only better material but overall better quality parts. This is not the case with this set. The washers are unusually thin and poorly punched/machined. They have a smooth side and a side with a raised lip along the edge that may dig into the face of your project. The lock washers seem OK. | 0negative

Hanger Review Redux
It appears that this product was relabeled from the "USP Structural Connectors JUS26-TZ G185-Triple Zinc Galvanized Face Mount Joist Hanger, 2 by 6, (Pack of 100)" label it carried when I ordered, and they folded in the shipping cost (original had shipping cost for 1 hanger three times the unit cost, and only a single hanger arrived despite the label), but you can get better hardware at substantially reduced unit cost elsewhere (100 equivalent or better hangers for less than $80 with shipping online). Biggest ripoff ever from this site, not a good experience by any stretch. Already reviewed earlier, but appreciate the opportunity to corroborate that opinion... | 0negative

Just got my pair and I love them. Well made, exactly the same color as I ordered, and they're some of the most comfortable shoes I own. Can't go wrong here, so I'm not sure where the negative reviews are coming from. I hesitated before buying because of some of the weird feedback on this site, but I'm glad I went ahead with it. Great purchase. I wear size 10.5, ordered size 11, they fit perfectly. Love them. | 1positive

Flimsy...a waste
This Chinese crap started fraying under very light load on the first use. Very inexpensive, but not worth the effort it took to unpack it. If you want a good strap go to DRDcorp.com and get some good USA made straps. AND NO....I am not affiliated with this fine company. I have purchased their products and have been happy with them. I just got this Master Lock junk because Amazon suggested it as part of a package deal with another purchase. Don't trust anything you care about with this terrible Master Lock product. | 0negative

Great for airsoft GBB fill valves!
I got these on a suggestion on an airsoft repair forum. They fit snugly into the fill valves, providing a better outer seal than most factory standard o-rings, and at a far better price than the exact same product when sold somewhere like Evike. The one problem I had was that my bag had 88 in it instead of 100. I'm not actually upset, since the price difference between it and other similar products still made this worth it, but a little more accuracy in the numbers would be appreciated.Pros -Great PriceFits snugly in placePlenty for more replacements lateCons -Didn't actually receive 100 | 1positive

Offshore Tools
I truly appreciate the comments on this drill set. I've decided not to order the 115 pc. set. I must question my judgement for having considered this set. The value of any coating is lost immediately when the bit is sharpened and a such seem ill-suited for anything but casual, homeowner use. Quality control seems to be lacking as drills are out-of-round, the drill point angle is uneven, etc. The drill point angle can be corrected but there goes any perceived advantage of a coating. Never mind drill point angle and coatings...an out-of-round drill bit is worse than no bit. In closing, two things come to mind. #1 is, "you get what you pay for". #2 is, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Thanks to the reviewers. | 0negative

Can be used to make an eye dropper ink fountain pen
These are very strong little o-rings, with plenty of tensile strength. I read a recent DIY article online about turning certain fountain pens (Platinum Preppy line) into eye dropper fountain pens using this size o-ring. I wanted to give it a try, and I must admit it worked like a charm. No leaks, perfect. Search online for "eye dropper fountain pen" and "o-ring" or perhaps "make your own" and you should be able to find it, if you're interested. Fun, and a good use of the pen and the ink. | 1positive

1 of every 4 defective
I normally do not write reviews for items, but, I was so dissatisfied with this product that I felt I should warn others of the quality. I purchased a package of 100 screws, and I am glad that I had plenty extra. I ended up throwing away 1 of every 4 screws. I discovered 2 problems with the screws. The first is that the threads are bad on some of the screws and would not thread into the #8/32 bolts I have. I know it was the screw because another brand I purchased (shorter length) always threaded with no problems. Also for a good screw in this batch they also threaded with no problems. The second problem is that the hex head is not a consistent size. some heads would not accept the hex key in them, being to small, others fit just fine.Good price, but consistent quality is definitely an issue. | 0negative

An Extra Hand Always Helps
I bought two of these to help me with crown molding (did it myself) and they worked great. There have been other projects/needs where the 3rd hand was there to help me when no one else could. They are very solid but I would agree that the pins are a little difficult. But once you get the hang of it you will find that these are truly a worthwhile investment.To work them you:1. Slide the poles and then lock in place the distance you want (that's what the pins do) leaving some room to manipulate them to the desired position.2. Both the top and bottom plates are on ball mounts so they nicely stay flat to the surfaces you're working with. Having put it in place you then squeeze the clamping lever at the top which slowly raises the top pole and plate (a steel pole that is inside the main pole and is connected to the top plate) to lock the 3rd hand in tightly. (This "top part" can be raised by the clamping lever over 2 feet! However, that's a lot of clamping and should only be used if the main pole is not long enough).3. There is a large safety lock on the clamping lever you then tighten to make sure everything is, well tight.Now the pole (3rd hand) is in place and so is your project. Again, these have been a great help and are well built. | 1positive

bowed and scuffed up
Some of the old Small Parts inventory is in good shape, some has evidently been around for years. I bought a piece of 1/8" x 2" x 36" 360 brass recently that had two problems: a significant bowing (about 3/16" over the 36" length) and the surface was pretty scuffed up (dings over .005" deep), so I had to spend some extra time (aka $) cleaning it up to be usable.I wish Amazon and Amazon Supply would go through their inventory and put the old gnarly stuff in a separate part of the website so we would know if it is quality stock or not. | 0negative

Poor suction, big disappointment
I don't understand why this machine is rated "commercial" - it is TINY, the suction is terrible, and the floor attachment is difficult to manuever. The "bare floors to carpet" option is a joke - it's impossible to push on carpet; the small fibers on the attachment grip the carpet and don't allow it to move! I bought it to use in my retail store space and returned it after one use. We have old hardwood floors that we clean pretty regularly but had hitherto only swept. I expected a commercial vacuum to provide some power but this one failed big time - I had to move very slowly and go back and forth repeatedly to pick up dust bunnies that any household vacuum would grab the first time. I would have been better off getting a Shop-Vac for around $20. | 0negative

Wasn't sticky enought for my application.
I needed a brown tape to accent older aluminum framed windows... to make them look less bland, until they're replaced. :)The pros:+ Reasonable price which includes free shipping.+ The Brown color I wanted.+ 1/2" width.The cons:- This tape isn't very sticky & it won't stay stuck, unless the surface is perfectly flat. Forget about it staying down if there are bumps or dips on the surface. :( | 0negative

Great for Remington 1100
I was looking for an o-ring for my Remington 1100 and other places were asking $9 for 1. You get 50 of these for less than that. My great grandkids will still have these o-rings for the gun lol. | 1positive

Item is rough from casting
You'll have to finish this material extensively as it comes rough from casting.I would have expected a more finished material.I would not purchase it again. | 0negative

Fits perfectly
I lost the original ring to my Nissan Stainless coffee cup, and was looking for a new one on Amazon, when Amazon suggested this o-ring to me. What a good suggestion! Now my old cup has a new lease on life and I can lose the ring like 9 more times before I have to buy a whole new one :) | 1positive

Not the products fault
I simply misunderstood what this product meant by 0-ring. However even given this slight mistake along with a little lubricant this doubles as a great 0-ring stabilizer. | 0negative

Stainless Steel (316) Bar 1/4 x 1 1/2 x 12 as advertised for $13.16
If you know what grade 316 stainless is and are familiar with its proffered and how to machine it,all I can say its they delivered what was promised without any problems: an unpolished rectangle/flat bar 1/4" thick, 1 1/2" wide, 12" long for a little over $13.00.For background stainless steel 316 is one of the most corrosion resistant of all the common "austenitic" (any grade of stainless in the 300 range) stainless steels. It is sometimes called marine grade stainless because it resists corrosion even in the presence of saltwater. It is often called A4 stainless on metric sized fasteners.If you plan on using this for a project requiring machining -- like drilling or milling -- keep a couple things in mind:1) Don't even think about trying to drill without coolant. If you value your drill bits life, use LOTS of it, literally keep flooding the area with coolant from start to stop. If you don't have any real coolant, try regular olive oil.2) You can drill this with high speed steel drill bits, but cobalt bits will last longer because this process generates heat that cobalt can deal with better than high speed steel. If possible use a drill with an angle around 135 and if you can use a shorter "screw machine" or "stub" length drill rather than the standard "jobber" length.3) Drill a with lot slower rpm than you are used to for regular steel or (especially aluminum) and keep the pressure on. If you need to disengage from the cut, pull it back completely out of the hole immediately -- never let the drill just stay rotating in the hole without a good bit of pressure applied. It is much easier to do this on a drill press or mill than with a hand held drill because you can maintain pressure without flexing the bit (which can cause it to snap) more easily on a press.4) Make sure your bits are SHARP. Don't even bother trying if your bit is the least bit dull or worn.5) You can do this even if you've never machined/drilled a significant hole in a real metal before -- I first learned about metal cutting using Titanium 6al4v, which is a lot like this material as far as drilling / milling strategy goes. I never understood why people said it was so difficult to machine until later when I worked on mild steel and aluminum -- if you're used to those metals or try to machine this like it is those metals, you will likely be quite frustrated.6) This product comes unfinished (scratchy). If you want it to look half decent, use a disc or belt sander, start at 80 grit and work your way up to 400 to 600. It should look pretty decent by then. If not, move on to buffing with buffing wheels and appropriate compounds.I hope this provides a decent review of my transaction, plus what this stuff is used for and what to do with it so people can decide whether its appropriate for whatever project they're working on. | 1positive

Rubbermaid Commercial LLDPE 23-Gallon Slim Jim Trash Can, Rectangular...
Appears to meet specifications. Seems to be rugged. Color (yellow) will make it easy to distinguish as "recycle" as opposed to "trash." | 1positive

Good bolts
I am turning these into vent liners for my muzzleloader. With new vent liners running $2 to $3 a piece, it's a grat bargain to make my own with these screws. | 1positive
