The Source CLS-200 Heavy Duty Roll BAR Clamps for 2" Roll Bars for The Source High Performance Porta

• Extra Secure
• Fits 2" Roll Bars
• Extra Heavy Duty
• Comes in Black
• Fits Vehicle Mount Bracket

I like the clamps, but really wish you could still purchase the CLS-175 for 1 3/4" roll bars. The CLS-200 does fit my 1 3/4" chase rack tubing, but only because it is coated with Line-X. I don't think my tank is going anywhere with these clamps in place!

I borrowed this unit from a friend to etch some glass for an architectural project at home. I'd never done anything like that before but was pleased that it did an excellent (and fast) job. I used clear contact paper that I got at Ace hardware for the mask template. You can remove the cut-outs either before or after you adhere the contact paper to the glass, but for more complex designs like ours you really have to apply the contact paper first and then cut the "to be etched" parts out with an Exacto knife. It does generate a fine dust during use so you need to use it in a garage or outdoors with a simple doctors type face mask. The project turned out quite professional looking and our friends are amazed. A great little unit!

We use one of these machines to prepare fossils in our paleontology laboratory. The dual chambers are very convenient because we start our preparation with a more aggressive 120 grit aluminum oxide blast media to eat away the surrounding rock and then switch (at the push of a button) to the other chamber / wand containing softer dolomite (or 400 grit aluminum oxide) for more gentle close-in work on the bones themselves. Make sure you use a mask and goggles if you'll be working for sustained periods because it does kick up dust. Our compressor is very quiet but for absolute silence you can run one of these units for hours on just compressed air from a tank that you can fill up at the local gas station.

• Internally mixed, cutting edge design for precise control of fine detailed work
• Replaceable solvent proof teflon seals, precision machined stainless steel nozzle and needle

I build plastic models as a hobby and I purchased a Grex Genesis XA single action airbrush with money I received for Christmas. I bought this model because I wanted a tool that would allow me to airbrush large sections with a single color. I use acrylic paints primarily albeit I do use lacquer based paints on occasion.

The airbrush has a unique design and some nice features--the knob to adjust airflow is an example. But it was also disappointing. The gravity feed design enables paint to leak down into the nozzle which in turn causes spatter on the model. It can be fixed by tightening down the airflow, but that somewhat defeats the process I purchased the brush for--large area coverage. Additionally, I had several problems with paint clogs. The clogs may have been due to user error--not properly mixing the paint, for example--but the clogs happened frequently than with any of my other airbrushes, causing me to break down the airbrush and clean the individual components.

Overall, bottom feed single action brushes from domestic manufactures would have been a better fit.

I just finished watching a very informative video on figure painting where the instructor used a Grex single action brush for the priming process. I'm a Paasche guy from way back and I have several of their brushes, both single and double action. I have heard good things about the Grex airbrushes and the video demo was encouraging but the only review on this site causes me pause. I know of a hobby shop in my area that carries this product and they have hosted demonstrations for Grex in the past. I was ready to drop the bucks on this airbrush tonight but after reading the review on this model I am going to wait until I can actually see one in use and hopefully spray a little with it myself. I'm getting into figure painting in a big way and The Grex Genesis.XA seems to be just right for the task. I know that the Grex company puts on demonstrations from time to time so perhaps I'll get lucky and find something in the near future. I usually jump in feet first on a deal like this but I have spent too much money lately on items I did little or no research on and have paid a price for not being thorough.

My bet is that I'll own one of these little gems soon.

Air Compressor 3 Gallon, 100 PSI Oilless Pancake

• 3 gallon tank with drain valve
• Built-in accessory storage
• Easy-to-read pressure gauge (100 PSI maximum)
• Thermal overload protection

It has been working for a few months now and hasn't failed me yet. Not that I expected much from this compressor, but it can pump out only about 60PSI constant on most tools. I can use my impact drill for about 10 seconds straight before the pressure gets too low, but for uses like refilling tires, it has plenty of pressure and capacity to get things done.

I agree with the other reviews. I bought this hoping it would work ok and I didn't expect much since it was only 40.00 dollars at Harbor Freight. But it isn't worth even 40.00 dollars. You can't use it to blow dust off things because it runs out of pressure right away and it is constantly running the engine that has a high pitch noise that is too much for me. I'm taking it back and getting something with more than .6 SCFM at 90 psi. This is worthless to me.

I purchased this from Harbor Freight Tools for around $30 after sales and coupons. Even at $30 this was a wast of money.

I was thinking I could use it blow dust off my work bench, or air up tires. It does not produce enough air to even do that much.

It takes a long time to get up to pressure, and virtually never turns off.

What makes the bad is that the motor runs at the resonance frequency of the tank. So anytime the thing is plugged in it makes a high pitched whine.

For doing trim work, it has plenty of air and keeps up with the nailer just fine. It is light and easy to move around and most of all it is very quiet.

The air compressor is real loud. Works well when it is fills up properly. Small enough to fit under a display case.

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.
