Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product was as described. The packaging of the breakers was poor! The breakers were loose in the box, tumbling all around, which concerns me as to whether the "guts" of the breakers are ok! The box had the loose breakers in it along with 2 or 3 of those inflateable "air bags" used to keep the items from moving all around! However, since the circuit breakers have "sharp protrusions" on them, the movement of the parts punctured all of the bags inside the box allowing the tumbling. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

Leviton 1755-I 15 Amp, 120 Volt, Decora Style Single-Pole, AC Combination Switch, Commercial Grade, Non-Grounded, Ivory Review

Leviton 1755-I 15 Amp, 120 Volt, Decora Style Single-Pole, AC Combination Switch, Commercial Grade, Non-Grounded, Ivory
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although not pictured, the Leviton model "1755" means the combined 3-switch in the nice Decora style. "A" means Almond, "I" means Ivory, "W" means white, etc. The "004" seems to indicate slight variations such as whether it comes with a single-gang wall plate or not (this one does not -- just the switch). You can find more information and pictures on Leviton's website.
I purchased 4 "004-1755-a" units from Amazon and am very happy with them. I searched a long time for a nice set of combined 3-switches, and in Almond. They seem to be out of stock everywhere, but Amazon had them. Anything 18 or less seems to be a good price from my shopping around. White are a little easier to come by in stores (Home Depot & OSH) but Almond have been next to impossible to find in stores. OSH had them, but is out of stock at all locations withing driving distance of my home. Lowes carries a 3-switch, but it is not the nice "decora" style and seems to be much more of a utility switch than something I'd want inside my house. I really like the "Decora" style rocker switches. They match other decora style rocker switches that are easy to find at any store. Watch out for some stores that tag some 2-switches as "Decora" on the price sticker but area actually are not the nicer Decora switches (Lowes) in some cases. The box will actually say "Decora" and probably shouldn't say only "Cooper".
These 004-1755-a units from Amazon (at least the ones I received) were exactly the Decora almond 3-switches I had wanted. I've used one so far and it works exactly as expected.
Note that the actual unit designs vary slightly among the 4 I received (which is fine with me). There seem to be 2 designs for the *back* of the unit, one with screw terminals (and optional push-in) and the other seems to be only push-in (no screws).
With the 3-switch, you only have 1 "hot" input and all 3 operate from the same hot input. The traditional 2-switch rockers typically have a tab you can break and 2 hot inputs should you have two separate power sources. Most people don't need that capability though. I only needed it in a unique case.
Overall, I am completely satisfied, as far as one could be with wall switches. I simply got what I wanted, a 1755-A (as pictured on Leviton's website).

PacTool International SA906 Story Pole Review

PacTool International SA906 Story Pole
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good tool for those who install cement siding alone. But, it does have some limitations.
1. Sometimes it is hard to slide the plank into the pole at top and bottom of the run
2. The middle rollers barely hold the plank, slips are common
3. The metal roller axles will leave marks on the planks. Not an issue for primed siding, but the finished stuff can get marred.
A useful tool, and if Pactool refines it a bit, it will be a great tool for the solo siding person.

Quickly supports one end of your siding on layout. The 6' pole features adjustable reveals for 5-1/4" to 9-1/4". Plastic guide rollers won't scratch or mar pre-painted siding. Heavy-duty metal construction with durable powder-coat finish.

Basically it's just about what I expected, but better. The stand comes in three pieces that screw right into each other. It's fast and easy to set up and looks seamless when completed. It's better than I expected because it is well made and substantial. I was expecting something a little more flimsy for the price. I'm writing this review because I have benefited from other people review of various products.

I have used this item on a dozen or so projects. it is excelent. I t is a bit of a nusance to sand with a hose hanging there but you quickly get used to managing it. The dust dog comes with a lightweight flexible hose section that helps a lot. For the money it can not be beat. Sure if you are doing 10,000 SF of rock get a pro system. But this has held up well and captures 95%+ of the dust. If you are going to be using it a lot consider gettin a longer hose for your shop vac so you can set it, and it's noise somewhere else

Silky Telescoping Landscaping Pole Saw HAYAUCHI 390 12-Feet 177-39 Review

Silky Telescoping Landscaping Pole Saw HAYAUCHI 390 12-Feet 177-39
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Silky pole saw is like performing surgery. It is made in Japan of high quality material. I never knew a pole saw could be of such quality. I cut through a 6" oak limb in seconds. . . smaller limbs with 2-3 strokes. My advice: spend the $$$ . . . it should last a lifetime, but select model carefully, according to your cutting needs. Wide toothed saws don't work too well on flimsy small branches. If most of your home gardening work is on small branches, get a saw with finer teeth. I'm sure it will still cut beautifully. The large toothed models are designed for larger limbs. I cut even small limbs effectively . . . if I cut at a point close to a larger limb which offered support. You could cut down a large tree with these Silky saws. The telescoping pole is oval, super-strong, and solid. The rubber covered lower section offers exceptional comfort. I can't recommend this Silky saw highly enough.
As for the vendor, after I called them and asked them to ship as early as possible, theY got it out ahead of listed shipping time!

Bestselling, professional, aluminum telescoping pole saw from Silky - The pole saw of choice by professionals. The aluminum alloy extension poles are oval shaped, providing precise control over the direction of the blade (especially important for high reach cutting) and giving strength and rigidity to the pole, thus reducing bending to the minimum. The base pole has a pole-end shock absorber and comfortable rubberized overgrip which ensures good hold and control. The 15-2/5-inch curved blade utilizes proprietary Silky 4-RETSUME (Four Rows of Teeth) Technology. Teeth are set in such a way that there appears to be 4 rows of them. Ideal for the toughest pruning jobs! Blade can be adjusted to two different angles for lower or higher cutting and features an upper and lower sickle. The upper sickle is used to cut vines and the lower sickle to undercut bark. Lower sickle provides clean cut without damaging tree, while upper sickle prevents the blade from slipping off limb.

I had to use heavy plastic sheeting in the basement in an area where there was going to be a lot of dust. At first, I was just lifting the plastic up and down, and stapling it to some 2x4's but that became a pain in the butt, and I was using a lot of staples. I put this zipper on, and used the enclosed tool to cut the sheeting and it worked very well. it's easy to use and cheap, I couldnt be happier with this purchase

When you need an easy way to create a doorway for a high-traffic job site where people, equipment, and building materials are constantly moving in and out, the ZipWall HDAZ2 Heavy Duty Zipper Kit is the ideal choice. This professional-quality, super-rugged zipper kit can be used to create a sealable doorway in any plastic sheeting.
Note: This package contains two seven-foot-long Heavy Duty Zippers and one ZipWall Zipper Knife. Just starting out? For a complete barrier system starter kit, try the ZipWall 4PL 4-Pack Plus Kit with Carry Bag, which can be used without Foam Rails on small jobs up to 30 linear feet or with Foam Rails on jobs up to 10 linear feet. For jobs up to 50 linear feet, the RLFP Facility Pack Kit with six 12-foot Poles, Caution Tape Reel System and Carry Bag is an ideal start to a barrier system (Foam Rails are not included in the RLFP and barrier material, such as plastic sheeting, must be purchased separately).
Ideal for High-Traffic or Low-Temperature Construction AreasThe ZipWall Heavy Duty Zipper Kit is the easy way to create a doorway anywhere in plastic sheeting. This zipper is ideal if your workspace barrier will be up for a while, if there will be a lot of traffic in and out, or if the temperature at your worksite will go below freezing.
Use one zipper for a simple doorway or place two zippers side by side to create a wide roll-up doorway.
Easy to Install and UseInstalling a ZipWall Heavy Duty Zipper is easy. Simply unroll the zipper and determine where to place it on your barrier. Be sure the pull is at the bottom and the end of the zipper is below where the plastic bends as it meets the floor.
Then, starting at the top, peel the backing off the zipper and press the zipper firmly onto the sheeting.
When the zipper is in place, open it completely and cut the opening with the included ZipWall Zipper Knife. This handy knife cuts a 3/4-inch-wide channel in the plastic sheeting, so the zipper teeth won't catch on the sheeting and bind.
Works with All ZipWall ProductsThe ZipWall Heavy Duty Zipper can be used as part of a ZipWall Barrier System. By purchasing ZipWall 12-foot SLP poles or 20-foot KT-20 poles and ZipWall Tight Seal accessories, you can create a dust barrier without marring walls or ceilings. You can also purchase the ZipWall 4PL 4-Pack Plus Kit with Carry Bag or the RLFP Facility Pack with Caution Tape Reel System and Carry Bag. Both include everything you need to create a ZipWall Barrier System.
Protect Children and Property from Lead-Dust ContaminationProviding a dust-tight seal around worksites is very important, especially when doing demolition or when renovating an older home that has lead paint. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates that dust be contained when as little as six square feet of lead paint is disturbed in homes or facilities where there are children under six years old.
Go to www.epa.gov/lead to get details on the latest lead-safety rules and lead-safe work practices. New EPA laws are an important reason to keep a ZipWall Barrier System on hand.

Leviton 6697-W Anywhere Switch/Plug-In RF Remote Decora Rocker Single-Pole Switch, White
Average Reviews:

I have a room with no overhead lighting and no way for me to wire one.
The room is on the first floor of my house and has two bedrooms overhead.
I plugged this little device into an outlet and plugged a lamp into the device.
I mounted the switch to a wall by the door and put in the batteries.
Works Great. Flip the switch, light goes on. Flip it again, light goes off.
I would have given five stars but... two issues.
1) Switch only comes in one style. No options for other types of switches.
2) For some odd reason the light goes on by itself once in a while. Not a huge deal but not very energy efficient. Perhaps the radio transmitter or receiver responds to some nearby interference. But I have no baby monitor or garage door opener.

Leviton 6613-PLT SureSlide 600VA (450W) Preset Magnetic Low-Voltage Dimmer, Single Pole or 3-Way, Light Almond Review

Leviton 6613-PLT SureSlide 600VA (450W) Preset Magnetic Low-Voltage Dimmer, Single Pole or 3-Way, Light Almond
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
LED dimming often requires matching the dimmer to the lamp. Many lower end dimmers flicker with LEDs. The 6613 is a magnetic low voltage "MLV" dimmer designed primarily for use with transformer loads but it seems to work quite well with Sylvania PAR LEDs.
Testing showed that MLV dimmers worked better at reducing LED flicker due to their more precise phase control. Non-MLV dimmers often produce highly asymmetric waveforms when dimmed (with more voltage on one side of the waveform) causing the LED to flicker on alternate half-cycles.
Before installing the Leviton 6613 I tried the Lutron Diva DVCL-153. The DVCL-153 is specifically made for LEDs and CFLs and features a low-end preset trim under the cover. The DVCL-153 is not an MLV dimmer. Unfortunately, the Lutron DVCL-153 flickered and was also interfered by other DIVA MLV dimmers in the wall box. The adjacent dimmers were on a separate circuit and there was no shared neutral.
I replaced the Diva DVCL-153 with the Leviton 6613. The Leviton 6613 worked flawlessly with Sylvania/Osram PAR-30 and PAR-38 LED lamps.
The 6613 has good low end dimming (though not to full black) with no "pop-on." When switched from both the dimmer or alternate "three way" switch, turn-on at all levels was consistent. The low-end dimming performance is the best I've seen. Although the 6613 has no low-end preset it does not appear to need it. There was also no adjacent dimmer interference with the 6613. The load was 2X PAR-30 (15W each) and 1X PAR-38 (18W).
I highly recommend the Leviton 6613 when paired with the Sylvania LED PARs. With other lamps "your mileage may vary" but the 6613 would be my first choice for tests.

The new motor was an exact replacement, and all of its fitting and connectors exactly matched those of the earlier motor.
The motor replacement only took about 15 minutes, but I had earlier removed the old motor during the troubleshooting process, so I knew how to replace it.
