I bought this as an upgrade to Version 6. What a disappointment. It’s worse and most of all it cannot open or import drawings from previous versions. It is simply incompatible.
Customer Review: Sucked
No way to put in your own photo. The program was just the most basic throw together so they could collect your and my cash.

Customer Review: looking for more
I’m on my third pair and looking for another pair. I wear them just about every day and they last about a year. They have a plug in the bottom that eventually leaks. Oh well. I thought I’d look at crocs/waldies as these are hot — must have socks on with them really. But I can’t complain and I bet if my seed and feed store has them when I get by there, I’ll buy my fourth pair.
Customer Review: poor customer service
We received very poor customer service from Plastex. Item was expected to ship out in 1 week from order. After 3 weeks, we contacted Plastex; item had not been shipped even though it was in stock. Interactions with the Plastex customer service representives were extremely difficult.

Customer Review: Astounding.
Reading some of the “if you can appreciate it” “if you can understand this”, “I would’nt recommend this to start off on Tool, you should try aenima” ..etc etc has prompted me to do so. There is no ideal place to start with Tool, just start. This album is heavy, if you don’t like heavy rock/metal you probably won’t like this. If you have an inclination to listen to this type of music then I cannot recommend this album highly enough. The music is amazing, nothing technically difficult in the guitar/ bass playing lots of polyrhytmic drumming, which is excellent. The album is a rollercoaster ride, musically and lyrically. Soft sudddenly becoming heavy. Maynard is a great singer and his lyrics are mind blowing, if a little cryptic. Perfect if you like philosophy. The lyrics are not in the liner (go to the band website for these)…which is all Alex Grey paintings, again if you like spirituality and philosophy. Musically and Lyrically this album is one which will encourage you to think. Should you choose to do so. You could just as easily “headbang” to it. As for coming to a conclusion on what it all means….well thats entirely up to you. The Individual. This album is stunning…try it (Listen to it a few times and you won’t be able to stop). Then go see them live. I doubt you’ll be let down.
Customer Review: Another amazing Tool release
When I bought Lateralus i had incredibly high expectations for I owned all the other Tool albums and loved every single one of them. Unlike 10,000 days, Undertow and Aenima Lateralus didn’t grab me instantly and i had to listen to it once or twice before i really got into it. Lateralus is a very progressive and complex album so you can expect plenty of time signiature changes and lengthy songs. My favourite songs off the album are the epic Lateralus itself, the combine Parabol-Parabola song(s) and then probably the Grudge but every song on the album is at least very good if not amazing. I would definatley recommend this album to anyone who is capable of appreciating it. 9/10

Customer Review: Your own plumber available 24/7!
This is a musthave book. As a keen DIY plumber,I am constantly looking for ways to improve my knowledge of central heating and hot water systems as well as fault finding and diagnosis, and this book hits the nail firmly on the head. Within 20 minutes of owning my copy I had resolved a problem that had been nagging for several weeks! The spiral binding is also a godsend, particularly when you’re in the loft or the airing cupboard!
Customer Review: An excellent reference
This taught me loads of things I had expected to learn on my NVQ course but didn’t - and some of it was new to the tutors as well!! (Backfilling a sluggish system saved me hours of frustration with radiators that wouldn’t fill). This book pulls together a lot of very useful information from various sources, combines it with a practical approach to diagnosis gained from years of experience, and puts it all together in one place in a logical, structured way. It really “does what it says on the tin”, basically covering in some detail: 1) What Central Heating is 2) What can go wrong with it 3) How to diagnose the fault 4) How to repair it Fault finding diagrams are v. useful. This book will be invaluable for DIYer and professional. Okay, if you’ve been in the business for 40 years you probably know all that’s in here (and more), but then you wouldn’t be looking for a book like this, would you? To the rest of us, buy it now and keep it in the van!!

Customer Review: Good for Little Kids, Get Older Ones the Real Stuff
Just as my daughter has outgrown the Saturday children’s workshops at Home Depot, she quickly outgrew this too. We got this set last year when we set up a small container garden on our tiny back porch to grow flowers and herbs. This was good for her at that time, age six, but now that she is seven and we have gone on to do some real gardening, she wants to use the tools Mother and Father are using because she is more grown up. This is recommended and it is durable, but get the real tools from your local gardening center for kids seven and older because they will want them anyway. Because of the bright colors, these are easy to find in the dirt and grass, but my daughter is actually more drawn to the shiny silver of the larger trowel we got her. We also both like the larger plastic watering cans because we don’t have to make so many trips to the spigot. We pass toys around in our family, and Dahlia actually suggested we pass this set on to her nephew because “he’s smaller”. Recommended, but for little kids. submitted by Allegra and Dahlia Rae

Customer Review: Why go to the barbers ?
After 20 odd years of going to the barbers, sitting in the chair talking about the same old stuff you know, football, holidays, the weather etc and even leaving a tip for a job well done. I decided to invest in these clippers i’ve got to say I was a bit dubious about doing it myself after reading other reviews about other types of clippers. I need not have worried ! These are absolutley brilliant. I have fine hair and just have the grade 2 all over once a week dead easy to use, no chance of altering the grade switch therefore no patchy hair and easy to shave the back of the head due to the rotating the swivel head, lightweight, excellent battery life. These clippers will have paid for themselves in another month.
Customer Review: Definitely worth the high price.
These clippers are well worth the money. Phillips have surprised me on this. It cuts brilliantly, absolutely no patches left behind, every one I know is amazed that I cut my hair myself. I am 30 and have been a hippy with long hair for 15 years and now I have a crew cut & I fit in:) So far these clippers have no flaws but then again I have only used them once, I hope they last. Excellento.

Amazon Price: $24.78
Customer Review: A manly tool
I purchased the Fiskars Power Gear Pruners as a Christmas present for my wife. Unfortunately, they don’t fit. By that I mean that the pruners are too large for my wife’s hand, and she does not have small hands. The upside is that she has given them to me and I find them to be powerful. It is still early to give a full evaluation, but so far, they are very good.
Customer Review: I wish I could say I like this item
I wish I could say I like this item, so many folks do…and Fiskars makes GREAT stuff, most of the time. But, if you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, these pruners are a nightmare. They don’t tell you that the handle ROLLS when you squeeze it closed. You have to grip it relatively tightly, a very painful experience for those of us with CTS. I assume this isn’t a problem for those with arthritis (don’t know why), but it would be SO NICE if they told folks about this rather odd feature ON THE DESCRIPTION….

I cancelled my lawn service this year because I don’t want my grandchildren playing in grass that has been treated with chemicals. My husband and I have tried several of the recipes. My old dogwood tree and my flowering crabapple tree look better than they have in years. Thanks, Jerry.

Hama PC Tool Kit (Standard)
Customer Review: Well presented, good value, but a bit superfluous
POSITIVE SIDE: There is a decent variety of well-made tools presented here in a neat wallet and they should do for all but the most sophisticated p.c. tasks. They range from nut/bolt ’spinners’, 2 cross-head and 2 plain screwdrivers to tweezers and a ‘grab’ for reaching small parts which you may have dropped. I only bought the kit to change a soundcard, but it may well have future uses.

NEGATIVE SIDE: The nut/bolt ’spinners’ can probably be dispensed with, since most bolts holding p.c. cases together tend to have a crosshead incorporated. The tweezers were metal. Looks good, but a bad idea inside a p.c. Should have been plastic medical forceps. Similarly (but MUCH worse), there was a handle for holding the replaceable metal bits (like screwdriver tips) that can be fitted into power drills. In my kit, the handle and the bit were VERY magnetic - tut, tut. Good job I left it in the wallet. Well, there was no reason to put it in the p.c., since the end looked like it started off life as a miniature Allen key, but had been ground down so badly that it had precious little shape remaining. [By whom, I wonder?]

A large plastic “test tube” is included, presumably for momentarily storing VERY small parts (bit of a no-brainer, I think).

As it was, I managed the soundcard replacement with one cross-head screwdriver I already had, but the kit may well come in handy in the future, so I won’t write it off yet. I would ditch the magnetic tool and the nut spinners and incorporate a basic anti-static wrist band.

Customer Review: nice quaility wheelbarrow
I have a 6 y.o. boy and a 4 y.o. boy and they both enjoy this wheelbarrow. They’ve had plastic ones in the past that just didn’t hold up. It’s too small for my 6 y.o. but he still has fun with it. It fits the 4 y.o. pretty well but I wouldn’t recommend it for any older. Assembly was relatively easy. The parts didn’t line up quite right but were flexible enough to make it work.

Hama PC Tool Kit (Professional)
Customer Review: All the essentials
This is a very nice kit to start off with. The included screwdrivers and ratchet kit cover the common sizes found inside a PC, although bizarrely they’ve included more Torx bits than anything else. Picking up extra bits for the driver should be a piece of cake, though. The magnetic attachment for the ratchet is a godsend, frankly. The pliers and tweezers make light work of those fiddly motherboard headers and the wire trimmers may well come in handy. By far the best thing in the kit is the odd little three-prong grippy widget, which proves itself to be much better than pliers or tweezers at fishing small objects out of odd places.

My only real problems with the pack are the IC remover (beginners shouldn’t need one an experts know they shouldn’t use them) and the torch. I was hoping for a cheap-and-cheerful LED flashlight but instead there’s a translucent purple incandescent torch which looks like it came from a christmas cracker. I’ve got an LED light handy anyway, but a little bit of consideration would’ve rounded out the kit nicely.

Customer Review: Excellent for around the house not just for computers
I bought one of these when I was to have a go at building a PC but it has become indispensable around the house for all sorts of jobs - at this price you won’t regret it!
