Ideal for do-it-yourselfers and home renovation enthusiasts, the Black & Decker 9099KC 7.2-Volt Cordless Drill with Keyless Chuck gives you the power and versatility you need to tackle a range of around-the-house jobs. Its two speeds, keyless chuck, and integrated battery make operation smooth and consistent, while a fan-cooled motor ensures optimum durability and reliable performance.

Overall it’s been working great. i love that it’s keyless chuck because i’m terrible with chuck. the drill bits that i bought to use with a drill press/milling machinese are interchangable with the drill which is a bit plus because i don’t have to waste more money on more drill bits. the power is decent. the only complain i would have would be that it doesn’t actually stand like the picture–the top is too heavy. but laying it down completely isn’t so bad. overall i’d say it’s a good purchase especially for its price–most drills are $50+ and brands like milwaukee which might be more beautiful in colour and may have more features which cost $300. i’d rather not spend that much with the drill is for much smaller work. as long as it functions and drills it’s all good

Little Tikes Spiralin’ Seas Waterpark

When I first got the package home, my daughter was ecstatic. She did a happy dance as I set about putting it together. Assembly was fairly easy (although it didn’t go nearly fast enough for her) and she instantly set about sending the balls down the spiral, even without water in the basin. We let her play with it for a time like that, but eventually, she asked for water. Clearly, she’d deduced its true purpose, so we brought it outside and filled it up.

She spent the rest of the day playing with it, alternating between the different activities. She mostly ignored the green, twirly thing, but she enjoyed the Ferris wheel and the little gears. Her favorite by far, though, is the spiral.

The next day was the real test, as toys often lose their luster rather quickly (sometimes, she casually tosses away a toy in the store she just had to have only a few minutes before). She immediately went to the table, bypassing the swing and trampoline she usually plays with. In her never ending quest to discover new ways to play with her toys, she realized she could put a bucket under the table and pull the plug. Once the bucket was full, she’d put the plug in and fill the table again, only to drain it once more. She amused herself doing that for hours. There you go, Little Tikes, another water feature you can add to the box.

Making my daughter happy is one thing, but the true test was when the neighbor girls came over. Aged 3, 5 and 6, they also spent the entire day playing with it. To me, that equals a hit, especially considering our track record for getting toys that rarely get played with.

I just got the The Spiralin’ Seas Waterpark and my kids are having a blast with it! My ten year old daughter put the whole thing together herself.

The Spiralin’ Seas Waterpark has lots of awesome features to keep your kids entertained for hours. Plus: water. What could be more fun? (You’ll just be glad that they are actually getting cleaner while they play… for once.) The big attraction of this toy is the tall spiral that is in the center of the waterpark. The balls (included with it) are dropped by the children into the “water-slide” and spiral down ending up in the “lazy river,” which has a spinner that your kids can turn to keep the river going. My children got every toy they could think of to float in the lazy river that goes around the perimeter.

There is also a fun ferris wheel that can scoop up and drop off balls. And when they fill the cup (included) and pour it into the funnel they can make their own hydro-power for the twin water wheels.

For cooler times, The Spiralin’ Seas Waterpark also works with sand! Or, you could bring it indoors and let your children play with the balls and other toys in, on, and around the miniature “Park.”

Every home needs a good set of basic tools, and kits are a great way to get them at a considerable savings. Three things make Denali’s 115-piece kit stand out—the price, an exceptional selection of screwdriver bits, and last but not least, the bag. In fact, it’s hard to find a set of tools as extensive as this for anywhere near this price. If purchased separately, these items would cost $150.00

This kit includes all of the tools you need for just about any household chore, from hanging pictures to fixing a leaky faucet. They are of good quality and should handle all of your household chores and repairs for many years to come. Going through this kit, I really appreciated little touches rarely seen in basic tool sets, like the soft-grip rubber cover on the tape measure that makes it easy and comfortable to hold, and the dizzying array of bits that come with the ratcheting screwdriver handle.

If you are looking for a great home improvement kit for around the house, look no further. at an unbeatable price for only $50 this set will have all the necessities a DIY’er needs. the quality of the tools are surprisingly higher than expected, when i saw the list price i had my doubts about the quality, regardless, i showed interest in this tool kit due to the variety of tools as other kits are more focused on a certain job such as mechanics or electrical, solely. everything in this bag has a purpose; no tools would be unused or deemed unnecessary. I would recommend this to anyone on a tight budget and only needing the occasional tool for around the house. i don’t see anyone using this on an everyday basis, if so i would spend the extra buck and invest in higher quality (ie. DeWalt, etc).

I purchased the Lafuma XL for my husband. He loves the chair. The chair is slightly larger than the regular Lafuma. My husband is 5’10 and has a thin build. His legs are longer and the extra length on the XL chair fits him best. He looks like an adult sitting in an oversized high-chair. I noticed an extra bar on the XL that is not on the regular Futura chair. The bar is located under the leg section and does not lock. We haven’t figured out its purpose yet.

When the chair arrived, it came in a oversized brown box that was slighly damaged. The chair was unharmed. The chair didn’t come with any packaging information, just a Lafuma tag. The reclining part was a big stiff compared to the regular Lafuma Futura chair. When I sat in the chair, at 5’6″ my feet did not touch the ground.

We took two of these water hammocks on our 3 week vacation to Bali and loved them. They are light, easy to inflate (only the outer ring inflates so it’s not much effort) and the best part is that much of your body is in a layer of cool water as opposed to inflatable mattresses where you lie mostly above the water. We took them in each pool that we encountered and loved them. They are pretty easy to fold up, but it helps to have long arms to fold them properly, thus only 4 stars instead of 5. They pack flat, so they are easy to put in a suitcase or duffle.
