I used these to quiet a 4 ton A/C condenser on a Structural strut wall bracket. They performed great! there is no noise transmission and they do not allow the unit to slide at all. Others complain about the rubber smell but I used them outside so this was not an issue for me.

Did exactly what I needed it for at a super low price. I used it to isolate my CD player and also under the feet of my component rack from extraneous vibration off the speakers and the floor when somebody walks by.(My house is very old and settled and not very level in spots)

They're may be OK, but not for my application/

I used 'em to reduce vibration of my generator which sits on the back of my cargo van.

When generator is running, noise inside the van is almost unbearable...

I stuck these under an extremely noisy A/C compressor that was outside of the master bedroom. When the unit went into defrost, the undulating of the unit went directly into the concrete pad, which amplified the noise. It would literally wake me up out of a dead sleep at times.

Now, it's much quieter, and I've even had the neighbor remark as such. Easy fix, well worth the money.

Just as an amusing aside, in regard to the "smell", I took the pads out of the shipping envelope (a USPS priority mail envelope they barely fit into), installed them, and left the envelope on the kitchen table. A few hours later, my wife hysterically thought the house was on fire from the smell. I put two and two together and reassured her, but she scolded me for leaving a smelly envelope on the table.... anyway, not worth knocking off a star because they work GREAT!

After scouring Amazon for anti-vibration pads I chose these. They're relatively cheap, and they look durable, too. They've turned out to be a smart buy.

Pros:

-Quite thick compared to other products.

-Should be durable because it's not a layered combination of materials.

Cons:

-Strong rubber smell. I know that the product listing emphasizes that issue but it should not be understated. If the rubber odor could be a problem, then try letting the pads sit somewhere for a while. The smell will (metaphorically) hit you in the face as soon as you open the package. And then you'll find that your hands, along with the receipt, smell like rubber.

As of this review the pads have been in place for only a few weeks. They're not exposed to the elements, but if they deteriorate I'll update this review.

4.3 Gallon 2.5 HP Oil Lubricated Direct Drive Electric Portable Twin Stack Single Stage Air Compress

This guy will power up to 120 psi in about 60 seconds it is fast. It looks to be very well-built (it is also heavier than it looks) and I expect that it is going to last for a lifetime for me as a weekend handyman. For the price, I couldnt find anything that was near comparable; I would consider it contractor grade.

My only disappointment is that the free-air capacity/CFM is lower than I expected when using a blow gun to clean out the garage or dust off tools, etc. Because it recovers so quickly it is not a big deal, but does require a little patience when using it for longer than a minute.

I would definitely recommend it if the CFM meets your requirements. I think its the best one out there.

• Ehp Efficient high pressure technology delivers exceptional air-tool runtimes
• Oil free, maintenance free pump for convenient use

Two weeks ago, I purchased this item from BrandNewEngines. It was supposed to be factory reconditioned to new specs. Somehow, I doubt it. It arrived in a beat-up box, packed with various random pieces of broken styrofoam in a vain attempt to keep it in one place in the box. Judging from the wear on the wheels, this thing had been used for a while--the date on the tank was 2008, which puts this compressor nearing 2 years old. Who knows how many hours are on it.

To make matters worse, after unpacking the unit , I hooked it up, hoping it ran better than it looked. It ran, charging the tank. And it ran, and it ran, and it ran. And them the emergency valve vented the excess pressure. Nice. Not only old and beat up, but busted to boot.

I've tried repeatedly to contact the vendor with no luck. They seem to specialize in ignoring emails and ducking phone calls. Since they are an "external supplier", Amazon won't help with this issue. Something to think about when you buy. I've never had a problem with Amazon that hasn't been made right, and I've never had a problem with a vendor where Amazon does the fulfillment that wasn't made right.

I'll keep trying, but I suspect I've just made a $300 mistake that will not be made right. Learn from it, and just go buy a new one instead.

Received initial order for compressor and packaging was pathetic. The compressor arrived with broken pieces falling out of the box. Portion of the cast aluminum compressor housing that attaches to protetive shroud was snapped off and cannot be prepared. There was paint overspray all over wheels and rust on pressure tank. There appears to be no quality control or pride at the vendor. This is the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL and pathetic shipment I have ever received from Amazon. I ordred replacement unit and it arrived shipped UPSIDE DOWN in box with no protection. The replacement unit is completely broken upon arrival and does not even work. Now I have two broken compressors. The initial unit still runs, but I am concerend about its quality. Not sure what to do now... QUALITY IS GARBAGE!!

By the way... I still love AMAZON. It is the best! I know they will take care of me in the long run, but I am not happy about this specific purchase.

A few scuffs here and there. A little over spray from the factory recondition. Otherwise, the unit appears to perform perfectly. No pressure loss. A great buy IMHO.

I received my compressor in good time. I think the reconditioned paint job had something to be desired. Once I had turned the compressor on it filled the tank with air as expected. After the compressor had filled and it shut off I could hear air leaking somewhere. I tracked down the leak and with 1/8th of a turn with a Cresent Wrench the leak was stopped. This leak could have been caused by the truck ride. Overall, I'm very pleased with the compressor.

I had purchased a compressor at Wal-Mart 2 years ago that came with 71pc tool set and the compressor wouldn't run any of the air tools it came with. My new DeWalt Compressor runs all of my tools (not all at once)(Ratchets, Impact Guns, Spray Gun, Die Grinder, Drill, Air Hammer, Nailer, etc...). Sold my old compressor at a Garage sale for $100 an this new compressor cost only $289 (kept the 71pc tool set).

I was a bit disappointed in my shipment. Although the nail gun appeared to be new, or with very little use, the compressor had quite a bit of use. Scratched, dirty, small dents. it worked fine, but seemed to go passed the point of "reconditioned" to something I could find on Craigs list at a lower price. I will not buy from this retailer again. If I did not have a pressing project, it would have been returned.

I was lured by the value of a nailer with the compressor but was disappointed when the 1st unit would not keep pressure up because of a leak somewhere you could easily hear it. I wonder if they really test these as part of "factory reconditioning". I decided to send it back for replacement and again was disappointed with the next unit pressure held on the input tank but nothing out the regulator knob was broken loose. The design of the plastic regulator knob is not robust at all it's too fragile.

I don't think either of these failures could have been due to shipping -testing would have caught the problems. So after 2 duds, I gave up on Porter Cable and went after another brand.

What a great Compressor. Did lots of research to be sure I picked the right compressor for my needs and this product delivered. The Box was a little weak, but everything, exactly as advertised was included. The valve that everyone is talking about was fine on mine. Compressor appears brand new. Air Nailer drove 600 nails today perfectly.

Purchased this nail gun to be used in the construction of a 600 sqft cabin. Out of the box the nailgun performed flawlessy driving over 2000 nails in 5 days of construction. Most work was done with a framing nailer (also purchased on Amazon). The finishing nailer worked well too, but I have only used in for a couple of dozen nails. I also purchased a 50 ft extension hose (from Amazon). For the type of work I did the included hose would have been too short.

AAA 65-Piece Winter Severe Weather Travel Kit

• Compact 65-piece road assistance kit for winter conditions by AAA and LifeLine First Aid
• Includes folding shovel with sheath
• Includes 3-piece fleece set
• Includes strobe light
• Includes a 46-piece first-aid kit

I ordered two of these kits in anticipation for another cold Minnesota winter. I received it within 2 days since I have Amazon Prime. I am pleased with the kit overall, but am disappointed as well.

The kit seems sufficient with plenty to get by if I were to be stranded somewhere in the middle of no where. There's stuff to keep me warm, safe, and to signal others as well. Everything seems to be of mediocre quality, which is good enough for me.

However, it is different from what is described.

1) No Matches! The set of matches in both sets were replaced with another cheap candle due to shipping restrictions. What good are my 4 candles without matches?

2) The flashlight is NOT a hand-charged dual LED flashlight. Instead it is an ordinary cheap flashlight with two AA batteries.

The waterproof matches and the hand-charged flashlight were definitely selling points, and I'm not so sure I would have bought this particular set if it I knew these pitfalls ahead of time. Nonetheless, I'll keep them to save myself the hassle since I'm still better with the kits than without them.

I am planning on adding a few items before I chuck it into my trunk. Some hard candy, extra socks, some baggies to keep my feet dry in case I need to trudge through some snow, a container to melt snow in, chapstick, a medium sized and durable container of cat litter, and finally my trusty jumper cables.

If you are a driver who travels in rough winter weather (or if you know and like such a driver), this is a perfect starter kit to put in the trunk before the first leaves fall. The AAA Winter Travel kit has put together a bunch of survival items that could make the difference between freezing to death or waiting for help in relative comfort. The kit is not 100% complete, no kit could be, but if you add the items that pertain to your personal situation, you will feel a lot better when driving those backwoods roads.

The most useful item, by far, is the enclosed "Emergency Car Care Guide," which has instructions and suggestions to get your car headed back to safety instead of being stranded at the side of a cold and stormy road. If the car cannot be started again easily, the Guide also contains suggestions on how to keep warm and safe while waiting for rescue. To help, there are emergency candles, a shovel to remove snow from around the car's tailpipe (keeps away that carbon monoxide), a flashlight and an emergency blanket. The blanket is made of thin, reflective plastic and would be better supplemented with a heavy woolen blanket, or even layers of newspaper in an emergency.

Another thing that the kit does not contain is food and water necessary to stay warm, comfortable and not hungry while waiting. I suggest always having a case package of water bottles (you need a lot more water than food, and three candles won't melt much snow) and some high calorie snack bars, which last a long time and will provide needed body heat in a winter emergency. Both items can be easily replaced and rotated as time passes, so that the items won't be old and stale when a real emergency occurs.

As a thoughtful starting point for your kit, this is great, but don't kid yourself 46 pieces of the 63 piece kit are the "first aid supplies" (mostly bandages) and "quality vinyl cover." You need more than this in a winter emergency. An hour's online research will give you a complete list, to which you need only add something to kill time. A novel from Amazon, perhaps? :-)

As other reviewers have said, the description and pictures are misleading! Unfortunately for me, these reviews didn't go up until after I put in my order! I am very upset. This is the first time I've ever bought something from Amazon and been so misled. And for those that may not have read the other reviews, there is no hand chargeable flashlight or waterproof matches. Matches were replaced by ONE candle due to alleged shipping restrictions. How am I supposed light any of the candles WITHOUT matches?! Also, it is now a 65-piece kit. I don't know how it compares to the 63-piece kit, but I doubt the 2 extra pieces are anything more significant than bandages. One final thing is that there is a August 2010 expiration date listed on the front of the bag. I haven't checked to see which item expires, but it probably refers to a minor first aid item.

Useful item, misleading description. I actually used this last weekend when I unexpectedly had to put chains on my tires and was without a hat and mittens, so I am glad I had it. However, the item description lists "1 hand-charged dual LED flashlight" which is not the case. I got a normal, incandescent flashlight with two batteries. No LED, no hand-charge. Also, the item description lists "strobe light" which also appears to be absent, unless you repeatedly turn the flashlight on and off by yourself. Finally, no matches as the description says. Apparently shipping regulations restrict the shipping of matches.

These items really need to be fixed in the description.

I got one of the other AAA kit's and figured that the severe weather one would be a good addition considering I live in Chicago and every so often we have severe weather. I read the reviews and people raved about the little shovel...ummm why? Either I didn't get the same one they did or I got a defective one because I couldn't use it. Three people couldn't use it. I actually threw it out it was that much of a waste (the shovel not the kit).

Any of the other AAA car kits are just as good and have everything if not more that this one does.

Black & Decker JUS500IB 500-Amp Jump Starter with Built-in Tire Inflator

• 500 Instant starting amps for maximum performance
• 120 PSI inflator for vehicle tires, sports equipment and more
• Low-profile design for easy storage within vehicle or garage
• Visual and audible reverse polarity alarms warn against improper connections to battery terminals
• Ultra bright area light for increased visibility in dark areas

So far this unit has performed well. I used it to jump-start a raggedy old farm tractor, and the little box seems to have an impressive amount of cranking power (for short bursts, anyway).

I've used the inflator twice to inflate a car and a truck tire. Takes awhile to get a tire up to pressure, but's that's normal with these little compressors. For it's size, it's quite adequate as an emergency air source. Took me about 8 minutes to bring the car tire up from 25 PSI to 45 PSI (under the weight of the vehicle). Really not that bad.

The truck tire took a bit longer, as I had to stop the unit to let it cool down. B&D recommends running the inflator for no more than 10 minutes continuously. Total time to bring this nearly-flat tire up to pressure: Just under a half-hour. Again, not too shabby considering how small this thing is.

I like the layout of the controls and indicators. Clear, easy to read, easy to access. Storage for the jumper cables is OK. I'd prefer to see them stowed in a sealed compartment, but they seem pretty secure. Keep the clamps clean, and there shouldn't be any issues storing this in a car.

Storage for the inflator hose is cheesy. It's stuffed into a tiny compartment, and you have to really bend the hose in order to get it inside. The maximum length of the air hose is about 2 feet. You must set the unit very close to the tire for the hose to reach the valve. Not a problem for me so far, but keep this in mind if you need a unit with a long reach. B&D could have done better here.

A major gripe I have is that the inflator has no provision for a backup power source. Depending on how long the internal battery will remain charged in storage, you might find it lacks the juice to power the unit in an emergency. Why couldn't B&D include a 12V cigarette adaptor for this situation? For a unit that's supposed to be a piece of emergency gear, this seems like a glaring oversight. You'd better hope that the internal battery is extremely reliable without it, the unit is useless. Could have been a five-star rating if not for that issue.

Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase. Reliability will be the ultimate test, and it's still too early to pass judgement. If it holds up season after season, and delivers the goods when really needed, I may change my rating to 5 stars. For under 100 bucks, I'd say give it a try.

UPDATE: 12 Jan 2010

The inflator died on me, with less than 4 hours total runtime. The motor was cranking away, but there was no air pressure at all. Brought it to a B&D service center, and paid $15 to have a new one shipped to my home. No hassle at all returning the unit, and the replacement is working as advertised so far. Maybe I just got a lemon, so I'm not going to downgrade the rating at this time. Will check back at a later date.

UPDATE: 23 Aug 2011

Working fine after 15 hours of compressor use. I was advised not to store the unit very long in sub-freezing temperatures. This apparently can damage the compressor, which may be the reason my first unit failed.

This review is for the Black & Decker JUS500IB 500 Amp Jump Starter with Inflator

I received this last week, plugged it in to charge the battery, and planned to leave it in the garage. I wasn't planning on writing a review until I used it, until this morning when I needed jump-start my car because "someone" left the lights on overnight. Sure enough, I put this baby to work immediately and the engine started (no surprise there).

What I was surprised about was that I needed to connect both the positive and negative to their respective terminals. At first, I connected the negative clamp to the chasis (like how I would normally jump a car), but my car would not start. I tried several places along the non-painted metal frame part and even the engine block of the dead car to no avail. As a last resort, I connected it to the bolt of the negative post (while wearing eye protection), and the car started. I know this is a no-no, but nothing else worked, and I needed to go to work. I'll troubleshoot at a later time (or most likely never). UPDATE: I've since used this on various automobiles (including the problematic car described above), and connecting the negative clamp to the chasis works perfectly fine now. I'm not sure what happened since, but now it is working fine following the proper useage.

Now, I keep it in the trunk, just in case. It has a nice compact body, so it does not take up much space. I like the light on the unit, but it is also a bit awkward to use (it points UP, rather than down), so I had to hold the unit upside down to see what I was doing. I have yet to use the inflator, so I have nothing to contribute about it. I did try it, and it seems to work. The compartment for the hose is awkward (behind a small plastic door underneath), but at least the hose is stored and not dangling around.

It does not come with an extension cord, which is required for charging. Luckily, I had one available, but it would have been nice to have come with one (even a six-footer would be nice). (Minus half star)

Overall, a very nice portable jump starter. I have a project car that constantly needs a jump, and I found this jump starter readily handy. For those who do not anticipate to use it a lot, this unit may be a bit overkill, and there are other smaller and cheaper alternatives. Highly recommended. Will update in a few months.

Note to Amazon: This product comes with an "AC charger," and not an "air conditioning charger." Please make the appropriate change in the product description section.

I've owned this for almost a year now, and I can honestly tell you, buy the jump starter without the tire inflator.

The jump starter works great, the internal battery lasts a very long time, and this unit is very well made for the most part.

The weak link is the tire inflator. It overheats very quickly depending on the outside temp. In hot sunny weather it began smoking in a few minutes. Within a few months of regular usage (I have a bad rim on my car), the inflator completely died. It ran, it just has no air pressure.

I guess in an emergency the inflator would do it's job, but for regular usage, buy a better inflator.

The light works well, but points straight up.

The usb charger worked as it should.

I'd give 5 stars except for the inflator.

My rating is 3 stars

Please realize that this is heavy and clunky but that is expected. It does not sit well and must be layed down. Anyway the first time I had to use the air tire inflator, it broke off. Then I had an extreme amount of trouble exchanging it as it is a battery that cannot be shipped easily. Thanks to amazon they finally accepted an exchange and now it works fine.
