Bad quality from amazon
Normally love Reef sandals and have had great luck with the last 3 pairs purchased locally. This was the first pair purchased from Amazon and after 1 month the sole started to separate - nothing abnormal in the wear. Be careful. | 0negative

Works for Geo Metro Distributor Seal !!!
Yes, this is the one you've been hunting, and yes, my 91 geo 1.0 quit leaking from there. What to do with the extra nine? Well, I don't know either, but its hard to beat the price!!! | 1positive

Not so good
I followed the instructions exactly. It fell the next day. WHen it was up I felt like the shelves weren't able to hold large bottles. Only a few small ones which wasn't that helpful. I bought it for the great reviews. Mine ended up in the trash. | 0negative

Looks Like an O-RIng
The O-rings arrived on time and look good. Amazon has a great selection, far better than any store I could find in town. They are marked in fractional inches, but that size is only approximate. Look in the product description and it will tell you the exact size in thousandths of an inch. | 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

Read the Expiration Date
This might be a good sealant if you use it before its time-stamp. I would say its shelf life sucks; when I tried to use it several months after I bought it, it had coagulated into a lumpy, useless mess. Silicone sealants I've used in the past had shelf lives of at least a year--I'm still using a tube of Permatex Ultra Blue automotive sealant after more than 5 years! Of course you have to remove a hardened plug with an exacto knife each time. | 0negative

It glows for about ten minutes
I'm thinking some people luck out and some don't when it comes to this product. We got this to mark doorways inside so we could cut down on our electricity use at night. It will glow very faintly at first... then fizzles out to nothing. Maybe it just doesn't play well with CFL bulbs, or maybe some of us just got a bad batch. It's a coin toss, so good luck! | 0negative

Many flaws and certainly not worth the price.
We bought ours for our small business about 18 month ago, using it about once a week. I can without a doubt say this is the worst vaccuum I've ever owned. For starters, it is very heavy. Anyone who is not fit would have challenges with that alone. None of the tools or attachments fit well. They barely attach to the hose, and then fall off almost every time we try to use them. The hose is stiff and attached to the vac at such a point that nearly every time we use it, the vac tips over unless we hold it.We have also had lots of noise issues, rattles, sqeals, etc.The final straw for us was when we accidentally spilled a display the other day and the Oreck failed to pick up a visible amount of the sandy debris. One of my employees who lives nearby ran home and brought back their $100 hoover and it quicky picked up everything the $400 Oreck left behind. So, the Oreck is now awaiting disposal and I bought an inexpensive new Hoover for the shop. | 0negative

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

Very Pleased With This Glue!
I was looking for a resin to bond 4 pieces of VERY hard plastic support bases to a VERY hard plastic support stand. I took a chance on this product solely based on the Amazon product description as well as the reviews here and am very pleased with the results.First, I made sure that I sanded both bonding surfaces to make them rough to the touch, as directed. The resin itself was very easy to mix. You simply cut the tip off the applicator and squeeze the contents of each tube simultaneously into a mixing tray (I used a clean piece of hard plastic). I then mixed both resins together in the mixing tray for 2 minutes, using the mixing stick provided. After that, it was simply a matter of applying the mixture to the bonding surfaces and clamping them together until dry.First of all, the mixture doesn't really start to set until about 5 minutes, giving you ample time to work with and apply the glue. This is a comfortable amount of time for most applications, a huge improvement over other products which only provide a minute or two or even just a few seconds to work with and apply the glue.The end result for me was 4 very solid plastic welds, fully repairing what had been an aggravating problem for a long time. The directions say to wait about 4 hours for the glue to fully cure but I found that I was able to apply stress to mine at about 1 hour. After 4 hours, I applied full stress to the glued parts and they have remained solidly glued for about 2 months now. Furthermore, there has been no indication whatsoever of any problems brewing with the welds.I would add however that the primary force applied to my welds is only a constant and low level SHEAR force. It hasn't been subjected to any sudden, high force spikes or high torque stresses. I have no way of predicting how the bonds would react to those latter types of forces. One last point worth mentioning as that none of my welds are (or will be) subjected to any water at any time. | 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

Plan to throw it out fast
This paper did not last long compared to the gator brand at Lowe's. Plan to trow it out fast, it does not last long and seems thin, and I think it wears out my sanding pad faster, I had to return it and after paying for shipping back, I'm still glad I got rid of it. | 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

Don't even think of cutting 1/2" backer board with this.
I am in the process of laying about 250 sf of tile and purchased these bits to allow me to make cuts in 1/2" backerboard (cement board). After one painfiully slow cut, the bit broke. I contacted Rotozip and they recommended using the RZ250 (1/4" shank bit). It's working out very well! RotoZip says that this bit should also work, but I think not. If you are cutting thicker cement board, pay the extra [money] and get the RZ250 bit. | 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

Lasted one year...
Bought them for my honeymoon. They are comfortable! However the strap that goes between the toes came loose and then broke apart. I was running while wearing them, but still disappointed that they fell apart this quickly. Wore them about twice a week for a year. Also the soles started to show cracks and creases several months in. | 0negative

BUYER BEWARE!
Unfortunately, I cannot choose 0 stars. I received this item on-time, opened it to check for defects (there wasn't anything obvious) and did not install it in my office until approximately 40 days after ordering - too late to return it through the Amazon 30 day policy. After I installed it, I decided to try it and that was when water began pouring onto the floor, creating an unsafe work environment because of the flooded slippery floor. I then contacted the manufacturer. The manufacturer informed me in a very arrogant and miserable tone that for this item to drain properly and not make a mess, it must have a 55 gallon drum placed beneath it. NOWHERE in the entire description was this mentioned. I read previous reviews stating that the item leaks, however I thought they might have received a defective item. The word leak is a HUGE understatement! The water drains profusely from the entire back of the drop-down shelf. I was also told by a company representative that they have received numerous complaints about this item and they would not issue any sort of reimbursement. This item is clearly a piece of junk, which the seller essentially does acknowledge, and I have no way to recover any of $127 that I spent on this completely unusable item. BUYER BEWARE! AWFUL COMPANY & 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

Poor quality. Dissappointing
I have owned Reef flip flops for 8+ years. I was due for a new pair and naturally wanted to replace them with the same sandal. I ordered 1 pair. They were poorly constructed. The leather sole was not glued down and kept bubbling up in different locations. I ended up ordering a replacement. They arrrived and were even worse. Replaced with 2 extra pair...all with the same issue. Really dissappointed with the quality of their product. I kept one pair b/c the were inexpensive and I was in a pinch (ended up having to crazy glue the leather down to temporarily fix), but will be looking to a different brand moving forward! | 0negative

Great kit
I love these Elenco kits !! The overall kit quality is very high - with very high quality parts. The kit integrity is the best I've ever seen (all parts included exactly as described); and the instructions are PERFECT !! I have built a lot of electronic kits over the years - and none provide instructions this good. I built 5 of these kits in the last month - and there has not been 1 mistake; not one omitted part; not one wrong component value; and not one awkward or incorrect or out-of sequence build instruction. They especially excel at pointing out places where care needs to be taken due to a future step in the same area. And - they provide additional instructional information at just the right places in the instructions (resistor charts / capacitor value info / polarization codes on components - etc). Well done Elenco !!! | 1positive

great quality, didn't fit
Great quality, but I took away a star because it didn't fit my peanut lighter. I realize that's not the product's fault.

I probably would give it 5 stars if it fit like I expected it would. | 1positive

A Special Earth-Day Surprise ... I can't wait for the Kindle edition!

Too much money for a defective tool!
When our shop foreman informed me these bits were manufactured incorrectly I assumed that because we purchased them from Amazon, and since we have been using this brand of bits for several years, I would be able to get the problem resolved. That was a bad assumption!The bits came missing their cutting spurs which is what allows them to cut into oak timbers cleanly with no "tear out". The defect wasn't noticed because they had been put into inventory when they arrived in their protective cases. Five weeks later they were needed and the defect was discovered. I could not return them because Amazon's return window had closed so I "contacted" the company. (The only way to contact them by email is through their "info" email address. They have neglected to respond and we are stuck with five pounds of expensive junk.Be advised that if you buy these bits (which work extremely well when they are machined correctly) inspect them thoroughly before you put them in your tool cabinet. | 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

Worked and saved
The product worked great and saved money compared buying from the dealer of the device it was used in.I expected only one and got a pack for less than two dollars. Since this is a replacable part I will be able to use the extras in the future. | 1positive

Looks Like an O-RIng
The O-rings arrived on time and look good. Amazon has a great selection, far better than any store I could find in town. They are marked in fractional inches, but that size is only approximate. Look in the product description and it will tell you the exact size in thousandths of an inch. | 1positive

Kinda slow to ship (weather ?) but had what I needed.
Thanks for stocking these O-rings ; I could not find them locally. Just what I needed. Still arrived ahead of a few other items I ordered at the same time from other venders here on Amazon so I changed my review to five stars. | 1positive

Adhesive fails and hooks break under moderate load...
I thought Command Adhesive hooks were a great idea. But after they fall off the wall a few times and the hooks that do stay up break, you go back to less expensive and more dependable methods. | 0negative

Too Hard to Measure
I got this item to repair the many car coffee cups that I have that tend to dribble down my chin and onto my shirt and pants. The order did not work and I found the dimensions impossible to measure. | 0negative

Save your money and time.
This "tool" was unusable, the hex locks that were supposed to tighten the countersink bit to the drill bit kept coming loose.It was a waste of time. | 0negative

This is not a joke folks!
I know some of you are making snide remarks about this product and joking around about "three-handed kids" and dog food glowing in the dark, but this is serious stuff.We purchased the Uranium Ore to improve upon our custom fashion watches by making the hands glow in the dark. Unfortunately, my dad - who is SUPPOSED to have a degree in Engineering and Physics confused Uranium with Radium. We need Radium ore to make the hands of the watch glow in the dark at night and not Uranium. Uranium ore is useless for this task, regardless of the jokes you see here about "dogs glowing in the dark" and nonsense like that.I don't want to come across as critical, but there are some of us who do not take these reviews lightly and it would have saved us a lot of money if the reviews here didn't misleadingly cause my dad to think that Uranium ore would make the hands of the watch glow in the dark.That said, does anyone know where we can get some radium ore? Thanks!P.S. I have found a great resource that goes well with this product.Uranium Resource ProcessingThis book has helped us figure out what to do with the several dozen crates of this stuff that we have in the basement right now. | 1positive

All's right with the O-Rings
The o-rings are as described so what's not to like. The price is reasonable and they arrived within a week. I'll try this source again when looking for small parts. | 1positive
