My dad got us started on these heavy duty mats, and now at least six members of my family use them. We are a very outdoorsy bunch. Almost all of us hunt or backpack, so we need a good quality mat to help save the interior of our vehicles from muddy boots and gear. The Huskey heavy duty mats are the best we've found anywhere. They are a durable, great quality, and easy to clean mat that I would highly recommend.

It wasn't custom, and it seems to be unidirectional, which is a problem because to fit it to particular car models one would have to turn it around so the cut mat would fit.

Too bad I only noticed this after the cut.

The quality was also not too impressive, husky not being all that husky... perhaps I should have gotten the ones sold at discount chains like Target, costing about 1/3, and just a bit thinner.

Review of Bare-Tool Makita BTW450Z High Torque Impact Wrench (Tool Only, No

Customer Ratings:

I bought this to change tires at the race track. But I just keep finding uses for it. Tons of power for a cordless and decent run time on the little lithium batteries. At first the little batteries do not fit, but there is a ridge in the tool there to force you to use the big batteries. All you have to do is grind it off and the smaller kit batteries will fit. Works great for: driving in big lag bolts for a deck, changing a flat tractor tire in the middle of a field, swapping car tires.

What it does lack is variable speed, but this is a brute force tool anyway. The little led light is handy too. FYI, at the track, one battery will do almost 2 sets of tires tourqued to 100 ft/lbs.

I used to make my living as an auto mechanic. I used a friends Dewalt cordless 1/2" impact wrench and was very impressed but when I saw the price I backed off. I own several other makita tools that use the same lithium-ion battery and have been very happy with them. When this unit came up for less than half the price of the Dewalt I jumped. I still own a 1/2" air impact and this cordless wrench appears to have as much power as the air wrench. It is heavy especially with the battery but at least there is no hose attached to it. I like the shock absorbing battery mount. I think that's a great idea.

Best Deals for Bare-Tool Makita BTW450Z High Torque Impact Wrench (Tool Only, No

PRO'S:

* Extremely powerful, comparable to many of the best air-powered impact wrenches but without the hassle of a hose.

* Uses Makita's super lightweight 18V lithium battery.

* Forward and reverse are built into a single trigger. The top of 1/3 of the trigger activates reverse, while the bottom 2/3 operates the wrench in forward. No need to press a switch or button before changing directions.

* Seems very wellbuilt: Has a shock absorbing base to protect the battery, solid feel, and sockets are easy to change.

CON'S:

* It's heavy plain and simple. Although that is probably to be expected from a powerful impact wrench.

* It is unbalanced because the top is so heavy while the battery is very light.

* Dual-use trigger takes a bit of getting used to (but is a better design once you've done it a few times).

Overall, this is heavy-duty and efficient unit that makes a good addition to the already outstanding line of Makita LXT tools. We use it for lawn mower repair in my landscape business, and it is definitely the preferred tool. It would be great for automotive work and will spin the lugnuts off of a verhicle in a flash (we tried it on a trailer wheel).

I have two of these now, one for work and one for my garage. Durable, and strong. Has all the power you could really ever need to tackle any nut or bolt. I prefer it over air impacts because its quiet and you never have to wait for the compressor.

I hestitated to buy this as I've heard stories from friends that many of these beasts don't have much torque to them. Well, I shouldn't have waited, this model is pretty much what I was hoping to get. It's got great battery life and plenty of torque. The ergonomics are good, but be pre-warned about the weight of it, it's pretty heavy. It's built like a tank, and I guess that I wouldn't want it any other way. It is easy to use, although the toggle switch to power it does take a few minutes to get used to. The first few minutes of using it, I found myself not paying attention to which way I was pushing the toggle and going the reverse direction to that which I intended. That was my stupid mistake, with any new tool you need to pay extra close attention to it the first few times you use it.

Edit to add that if you are working on some very tough/tight bolts, make sure that your battery is fully charged. These batteries are not supposed to show that property, but apparently they do when pulling a heavy torque. Well, at least I'm seeing it. I'll have to check the manual again to see if it mentions that.

When I got my remote start installed at best buy i was the happiest man under the sun, it was the great to know in the cold I could start/stop, have my windows go roll up and much more. After a few months of pressing the start/stop, the function and aux button, the side plastic housing body started to crack then it broke. I tried super glue a few times and it was a quick fix, but nothing long lasting.

I started to use the second key that is only a one way, but the way that one is built is that if you put it in your pocket with anything then you might come back to a car that's running that you didn't want to be running and you won't even know for how long. (Yes, I am speaking from experience)

I gave this 3 starts not because it doesn't work right (the guy at best buy didn't do his job right I know), but because they need to make this side buttons able to be used and not sucked all the way into the housing.

A great replacement remote. I actually think it's much better than the original. My original remote died due to water damage so I ended up using the secondary remote. But I ended up dropping it a few times and the clip holding the battery ended up breaking. So I went out looking for a new replacement. At first I looked into buying a new secondary remote, but I missed the features of the two way remote. So I decided to go with the 7752V. The replacement comes with a rubberized back, not like the plastic back of the original, so it's much easier to hang on to. I find that the battery even lasts longer. Everything else seems the same, all the features of the original are the same, the instructions that come with it are pretty straightforward so pairing it with my existing alarm was a breeze. All in all, I would definitely recommend this remote.

Review of Bare-Tool Makita BCL180ZW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless

Customer Ratings:

overall this does what it supposed to. if you already have a bunch of Makita Li-Ion tools then its a nice addition.

strong suction for a cordless and good 20min battery life with the 3AH batteries.

I dinged Makita a couple stars on this one for the following reasons...

1. For a piece of plastic with a little motor and fan inside, $99 is a bit pricey.

2. The on off switch is a momentary switch that has to remain held to operate. there is no continuous on switch position or lock

3. they reversed the nozzle connections to make it so standard vacuum accessories don't fit without making the 1 1/4 inch adapter that a previous reviewer mentioned...

4 the cloth filter gets dirty real quick causing loss of suction. a pleated paper filter would have probably worked better and easier to blow clean with a compressed air nozzle.... The black and decker cordless vac I have also has a twist feature to clean the dust off the filter without having to remove it

Like all the 18v XLT tools, this product is well thought out and of highest quality. The price would be very high if this were the only XLT one were to buy (shelling out $100+ just for a battery and charger), but as an addition to an existing XLT set, the price is well worth it. I found mine at Tylertool for $72 (after coupon) which actually puts it at the low end of any 18v LXT bare tool.

The light weight, high power and excellent balance just feels good. Very quiet! Crevice tool clips to long wand for onboard storage. Instantly changes from a short handheld to a long reach floor sweeper simply by adding the long floor wand. Attachments are well-fitting friction fit, so no fumbling with latches. Once I used it, I instantly appreciated how great it is to be able to vacuum floor areas while standing straight up without having to constantly bend down. The ball joint on the wide floor head is amazing. It keeps the head always in full contact with the floor, NOT tilting up as the wand is flexed (which happens with other rigid floor heads). Very slick. The debris capsule readily twists open to emty the vac, and the 2-stage filter design is simple to clean and looks rugged (heavy cloth filter bag has stitched seams... made to last).

My first "test" was a large area of shredded cardboard on carpet (cats can be high maintenance!). It vacuumed the entire area quickly and I was surprised when I emptied the chamber. There was also a large amount of cat hair (that I never realized was in the carpet) which it obviously extracted with ease. With XLT batteries available, this lightweight and powerful tool provides great freedom. Readily portable, it is NOT tethered to a dedicated charging stationalong with the internal, non-removable batteries of limited life. Instead, it is free to fly to the house... the shop... and to the job site.

Accessories, like nozzles and brushes, are listed in the manual. But since this tool was just released, I doubt that they are available yet. I wanted to have a brush, as did an earlier reviewer, StevieQ. There is a quick fix... Cut a short piece (4" will do) of tubing from a 1-1/4" plastic sink tailpiece or extension tube such as this: 1 1/4" x 6" Pvc Extension Tube. Use it to couple any 1-1/4" vacuum brush to the end of the vacuum or the wand. It friction fits and is the same size as the wand. I wouldn't be surprised if Makita soon includes a brush with the basic vacuum.

Ok I have to ask why people are buying this for vacuuming couches and kitchen floors and crap like that... this is designed for portability and for people who already have the LXT system. I'm a contractor and do a lot of maintenance and repair work and painting and this is an essential tool to have in the arsenal. I have been thinking about having a dust buster for a long time but never wanted yet another charger to carry around. Enter the LXT cordless vacuum.... problem solved. This is NOT a shop vac!!! it's not designed to suck up screws and nails!!! it is however designed to be very portable and fit in a tool bag when you need to suck up a little mess in someones house without dragging out the shop vac. I was actually shocked at how well the floor nozzle and extension tube worked.... I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised.

and come on people... complaining about the momentary switch??? it takes almost no effort to keep your finger on the trigger... its in such a position that you actually have to work harder NOT to press it.

The only reason its a 4 star review and not 5 is just due to the price.. it is a bit expensive, but still worth the price for the convenience you get. It could have used a brush attachment but it should be easy for me to rig one up.

Honest reviews on Bare-Tool Makita BCL180ZW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless

I have become quite a fan of the Makita LXT series of 18-Volt. I use my Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower Bare-tool nearly everyday and I have found that my Makita LCT300W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3-Piece Combo Kit to be a perfect rechargeable drill set. Since I have been so satisfied (and because I have extra batteries and a charger) I thought I would give the Cordless Vacuum a try, and so far it has completely met my expectations.

A few Notes

Will accept either the 3.o aH Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery or the 1.5aHMakita BL1815 18-Volt 1.5 Ah Compact Lithium-Ion Battery battery. The 1.5aH will save you a pound or two in weight but will cut your run time down 50%

-Very good (but not great) suction

Only 1 filter included.... with no sign of how to get replacements. I am sure if the one that comes with it gets damaged you cold improvise.

When using the floor cleaner with the extra length attachment the tool is *almost* long enough so that a 6' man will not have to bend down to clean the floor.

Not any louder than any other cordless vacuum.

Easy to clean

Batteries charge quickly (although they are not included) 15minutes for the 1.5aH and 30 minutes for the 3.0aH.

The whole unit is light less than 5lbs

Final Verdict While I am not completely sold that the filter will hold up I do believe that this is a very useful tool. It is perfect for cleaning our car and any light jobs around the home or garage.

4 1/2 Stars

This is one of the best tools you can have around the house. It is very expensive when you add charger and battery but the batter does last a long time. I have never seen any rechargable vac that runs this long and actually still sucks. The new filter design is easy to clean. I use a brush and it cleans quick and easy. I think this vacuum is a very good design overall. We had one of the earlier models from makita and it was good but this new model is even better.

I worked in the telecom industry portion that has, among other things, hand-held radios. I know how they work; I know the physics behind each segment of the radio spectrum; I know the technologies, etc., etc.

That said, I could never give any of these kinds of "FRS/GMRS" two-way radios a five-star rating. None of them deserve it, nor, given the limitations placed on this radio type by the F.C.C., could any of them deserve a rating better than "mediocre", or "average". That is the limitation of this kind of power in this part of the spectrum. And it is true for any of these radios, regardless of what brand name is on them, although for quality, surely Motorola is the best of their type.

THIRTY-FIVE MILES? Ha! Maybe, just maybe, in a total vacuum, at a temperature of absolute-zero, you could get one of these radios to communicate 35 miles, but not anywhere on this planet that I can think of. Be realistic and you'll be satisfied. But if you expect 35 miles of range, or even 20% of that, you WILL be disappointed. I bought a pair of these radios, and I am as satisfied as I can be. They are good for what they are, at the price you pay.

But, if all you really need is a radio that CAN communicate for a distance not to exceed, say, two miles, then these radios are certainly the best of their kind I've ever seen. So, take them for what they are worth, and believe me, these Motorolas are hands-down the best of their kind. But none of these radios lives up to their advertising, and never will. It is simply not possible at the rated power in the alloted portion of the radio spectrum.

The newest, most exciting feature is the GMRS repeater operation. A repeater is a special base station that simultaneously receives and retransmits a signal from a mobile or portable station to extend the range. As a communications back-up it can fill the void.(GMRS FCC License Required) The current license fee is 85.00.

During disasters such as the Oklahoma City Bombing, Hurricane Katrina and the September 11th attacks and countless other emergency situations, what is one of the first things to go down? Communications. Cell phones are useless, and landline infrastructure/internet is the next to go. FRS,GMRS in the simplex mode (radio to radio) are a unobstructed line of sight communication device. I do take issue with the 35 mile claim on many of these simplex units. It won't happen unless both communicators are "HIGH ON SEPARATE MOUNTAIN TOPS" As previously mentioned, the GMRS Repeater operation will extend your range to acceptable distances.

Many areas around the country have privately owned GMRS Repeaters. A repeater directory may be found on this web site:

If you are looking for a walkie-talkie like I had in the 70s for short range communications (FRS) then save your money and purchase one of the 29.00 units.

I purchased these radios after extensive research discovering they are the best 2 way consumer radio motorola makes. once they arrived i charged them fully and followed the instructions to the T. Tested them in the country with nothing in the way of the 2 radios and they didnt make it past 4 miles. in the small little town i live in of 150 people, the radios managed to cut out after 3 blocks and no more communication. also the operating temps of these radios are insane. 20 degrees F and they shut down and refuse to transmit. i was using the hi power channel transmitting at 2 watts as well as the hi power ptt button. called motorola and they told me that they dont make them even. come to find out they hired a company giant international to build them. motorola only builds their business class radios is what they told me. i returned the items to amazon as they did no good. i mentioned that i would at least want to get 1 mile out of a 35 mile radio. guess not. im now trying out the much better looking midland gtx1000vp4 with a transmit power that ranges up to 5 watts! hoping to have better luck with midland. take my advice and dont waste your time with these supposed top of the line latest motorola radios.. they are more than a joke. i purchased a pair of cheap $20 midlands for kids to use in the woods and they worked better...in colder weather (by the way midland operates in -22F).

Honest reviews on Motorola MR355R 35-Mile Range 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio

I bought three pairs to keep in touch with my kids and other family on our ski trip. Suffice it to say that when these radios got cold they simply did not work. I could hear the others (using other models) but could not transmit. Useless in my opinion. FYI it was below 30 deg F where these were used. I also had pair of Midlands and they worked fine all the time but could not get the Midlands to talk with these Motorolas even on the same channel/sub with Motorola Qt disabled. All of this resulted in a very frustrating experience.

Otherwise, the Motorolas have good volume and clarity but to me reliability is everything. Range seemed to be about as good as the Midlands I was using (GXT1000VP4.

Lastly, the included earpiece and corded mic was tough to use as Motorola put the mic right next to the button, so care had to be taken when pushing the transmit button to not cover the mic.

I will be returning these and looking for another solution.

I researched these radios on multiple sites and was surprised by the wide range of opinions. The biggest criticism seemed to be lack of range. The other hunters on the deer lease used various Motorola radios with satisfactory results and for ease of communicating with them I decided to purchase them through Amazon. We hunt in central Texas on an approximately 5000 acre ranch, with mixed terrain (woods, fields, flat and hills). These radios seemed to be more than adequate when communicating with the other hunters. The rechargeable batteries seemed to provide more than enough stand-by time and the ability to supplement them with standard batteries is a plus. The only reason that I didn't give them five stars is the short period of use. While I may find other issues over time and with more severe service, these radios had good range in the field.

I was a bit disappointed by this charger, as I had used both the palm pre car charger and a cheapo ebay charger with my HTC evo, and the phone recognized both of those as 1A chargers and displayed as being charged by the AC adapter. I bought this charger expecting as much, as it is rated at 1A and I liked the low profile of it.

Unfortunately, the phone recognizes it as a USB port and defaults to charging at 500mA, which is a much slower charge and I cannot use the Navigation for extended periods without losing battery. I have heard that just altering the cable or getting certain cables will remedy this and draw the full 1A, I just wish I wouldn't have to go find all this stuff. The design is very good though, no problems using either of the ports on my 2006 Mini.

Product works just as designed. Just as a note, the charging sensor is next to the solar panel. I would like it to be next to the end plug or have an option to plug one inline. I install this on the roof of my trailer and ran the cable down to the battery inside. I cannot see what status the battery is whether it's charging or trickling as the sensor is on the roof. Also keep in mind that this is solar. How do you keep a constant trickle if there is no sun at night? the next day when the sun comes out it will detect the battery and charge it like normal for a little while and then trickle it.

This is a good product which is compromised by a shortcut in production that probably only saved a dollar or two in cost. Although the frame that supports the glass panel is solid metal, the corner braces are thin plastic. Several potential problems arise from this: First, if the panel is used for car battery charging, it will be repeatedly placed in the windshield and then removed. In a Honda Civic, this is a tight fit, making it easy to stress the panel. Strong frame corners would allow the panel to withstand greater torque. Torque or twisting force is hard to avoid when sliding the panel over the steering wheel.

If the panel is going to be mounted to a roof, the screws will be installed through the plastic corners which are too weak to handle the load of all but the lightest wind. I have not returned it because it would be good in an extended emergency, and someday I will improve the frame.

Finally, this 15 watt panel is marginal in power for all but the smallest car batteries. It is good for charging batteries of 32 Amp/hr or less and would be great (electrically) for bikes and electric start lawnmowers. Getting technical, 15 watts is not enough to prevent and reverse sulfation in larger lead acid batteries, the problem that makes this product important.

Haven't tried using this yet, don't know if it will even fit in the car. My intention was placing it in the car, but it seems to be very big to put in the windshield, luckily its a station wagon and it may do ok on the cargo floor for a few hours a day. Looks like the intention is to use it as a charging station, mounted somewhere external to the vehicle.

Currently, Amazon shows the dimensions as 17.8 x 17.8 x 3 inches, but the dimensions of the 15W panel are actually 38" x 16" x 0.875" (from mfg's website).

Also, the mfg says the 5W is for small batteries (lawnmowers, etc.), 10W is for motorcycles, etc. and 15W is for large batteries (auto).

Also, at 60", the attached cord is rather short in my opinion.

Tried it @ home , seemed to work ok. Took it out to wilderness & it worked like a champ. Caveat: I never had occasion to totally drain the battery @ the lake. I'm very pleased w/ overall performance.
