I live in Arizona where it is silly to have an electric or gas clothes line. Instead, I go solar. I have used 5 line clotheslines like this one for a dozen years at two different houses. The current line is over 7 years old and is just now in need of major repairs. It has lived its life battling the hot sun on a west facing wall. The only place we have to hang our laundry is across our patio--not a very attractive choice for parties. When not in use, it hangs unobtrusively on the wall. On wash day, I pull it out across the patio (which is shorter than the line's full length.) I can hang several loads of jeans, assorted clothes, and my really thick bedspread and it supports the weight. I highly recommend this clothesline.

Sleekly designed for a clean look that's also space-efficient, Household Essential's five-line indoor/outdoor retractable clothes dryer makes it easy to hang clothes almost anywhere. Housed in a heavy-duty moisture-proof aluminum case, the vinyl-coated, polyester-core lines extend with a pull of the large handle to 34 feet (for 170 feet of total drying space) and stay taut with a turn of the tightening knob. When not in use, the lines roll up neatly onto their own spools, and the unit becomes compact and discreet, so it can even go on a porch or in a bathroom without interrupting the decor. An optional receiver bracket is sold separately. This unit measures 4-3/4 by 37-3/4 by 9-3/4 inches.

Black & Decker CCS818 18-Volt Cordless Electric Chain Saw Review

Black and Decker CCS818 18-Volt Cordless Electric Chain Saw
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a nice small branch trimmer. Its downfall is the chain oil is gravity feed onto the chain and leaks consistently. Wherever you store the chainsaw will get oil underneath. I'd give it 5 stars if they fixed that issue.I'm still pleased with the purchase and have learned to deal with the oil problem by simply carrying a small squirt bottle of oil and adding it directly to the chain, bypassing the leaky oil chamber.

I liked the idea of this saw but the execution wasn't so great. it is a quality saw and felt very sturdy but the blade was to short for me and the locking screw tightened up when I was sawing and I had to use pliers to undo it. I ended up returning it and getting a folding design.

Reliance Controls TCA1006D Panel/Link 100-Amp Utility/60-Amp Generator Transfer Switch For Up To 15000-Watt Generators Review

Since my city power seems to go out every time a mouse farts, I picked up a 10kw generator and all the materials to properly hook it up - including this. The drainage in my neighborhood is poor, so in a decent rainstorm I absolutely need both sump pumps on continuously as it's devastating when my basement floods. I hired an electrician that charged $200 to wire it up.
Last night I was able to use it for the first time. It works exactly as advertised. When the power died, I fired up the generator, killed all the fuses, threw both switches on this DPDT and slowly switched the fuses on. This handled ~1.5kw of draw from each of the 2 sumps, the fridge, the furnace, and all the lighting in the house - probably close to 7kw peak.

It's big and it collects dust in more ways than one. I bought it thinking it would save time cleaning the house but it doesn't. It doesn't bend so it doesn't clean corners, odd shapes, go around objects well. If your house has clean straight lines with minimalism decor, this is the duster for you. I can take a old hand towel and it will clean better and clean faster than this thing. So yes, it does collects dust.... in the basement closet.

Poulan Pro PP4000C Brush Cutter Trimmer Attachment Review

Poulan Pro PP4000C Brush Cutter Trimmer Attachment
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The good:
The attachment comes with shoulder strap and "better" handle.
It only takes seconds to swap out and back in.
The bad:
The extra weight makes the unit vibrate significantly more, which quickly becomes tiresome.
It doesn't seem to be that effective - I was expecting thick brush to be "vaporized", but the blade seems a bit dull, and the amount of effort required was surprising.
As another review states - this item has limited use - weeds/shrubs around 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, too thick for a trimmer but not thick enough to need a chainsaw/pruner attachment.
Also, seems to get tangled up easier than the trimmer, but that might just be my inexperience using it...
Overall then, not bad, just not quite the "obliterator" I was expecting.
As usual, Amazon's delivery exceeded my expectations and their prices really cannot be bettered,

Coleman 30-Inch Propane Distribution Tree Review

Coleman 30-Inch Propane Distribution Tree
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our family goes camping about once a month and we found we were going through a lot of those little Coleman propane canisters between our stove and lantern. We have a big propane grill at the house so it seemed logical to use that same bulk canister to power our camping appliances. Very simple to use. My only complaint would be the length. If it was another 24" taller it would get the lantern up higher to illuminate more of the campsite. Otherwise, works as advertised.

With the Coleman 30-inch Distribution Tree, you can attach a single 20-pound refillable propane tank and run three Coleman propane appliances at once! The 30-inch post design lets you mount your camp lantern at the top for area lighting, while operating your grill and stove (or other Coleman appliances) at the same time -- so you don't have to bring along three separate fuel tanks.

We needed flag holders that didn't take up much space, and looked nice. These fit the bill. I am very happy with the finish and design, and they hold different sized posts equally well.
The only downside was the shipping time when purchased from ProMax Commerce. The company took 7 working days to ship the order, so I didn't receive the package until a full two weeks after the order was placed.

Corona Clipper 62'Ropeless Tree Pruner Tp 3206 Pole Pruner Review

Corona Clipper 62'Ropeless Tree Pruner Tp 3206 Pole Pruner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a Fiskars 6' pruning stick had had terrible time with it and bought another one and it went back also. I then bought the Corona 6' Power Glide stick Pruner and I must say it is the best of the 2 by far. Corona pruners and trimmers have been the best graded garden tools for a long long time. I never should have doubted there reputation and instead of buying a sleek and cool looking fiskars pruning stick I should have just bought the one brand that makes the best tools. I have about three (3) pairs of Corona trimmers in my shed and I have one of my grandfathers Corona trimmers as well. Do yourself a big favor and bypass the sleek looks of the Fiskars pruners and buy the best and stick with a company that has been the staple brand for landscapers, yard men, Nurserymen, and horticulturist for decades. I am a professional Sharpener and I mostly sharpen Knives and Scissors but in the spring I sharpen pruners and lopers for a lot of professional nurserymen as well a regular homeowners. I also sell knives and scissors and I have to tell you that after Fiskars bought the Gerber Knife and tool company the quality took a nose dive and now I refuse to sharpen any Fiskars or Gerber product.

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik Review

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pole pruner performs excellently.
I found the following features to be especially useful:
- rotating head, allows easy cuts of branches at different angles.
- no additional rope to pull, makes for easy cutting and handling.
- saw blade is sharp and it also allows user to change the angle of the blade so that you can saw more efficiently.
Features I wish it had:
- the ability to cut more than its 1 & 1/4-inch cutting capacity.
- when using the saw blade, the FULLY extended handle flexes a bit more than I prefer.
Overall this telescopeing pole pruner is excellent.
I have been using mine regularly to prune trees for over a year and it still cuts as sharply as it did on the first day.
By the way, some reviewers mentioned that the packaging was poor and they got a damaged product, they must have ordered it early before the new packaging was incorporated. My Pruning Stik arrived in good condition, it had a thick supporting cardboard piece to ensure the long box did not bend.

Spare yourself the effort of climbing trees to reach far-off branches with this convenient and powerful telescoping pruning tool from Fiskars. The Pruning Stik's fiberglass outer pole and aluminum inner pole extend to a full 12 feet, allowing you to trim upper branches from the safety and security of the ground. Its extremely sharp cutting blade can be manipulated by pulling a rope or the pole's ergonomic handle. In addition, the sturdy cutting head rotates 240 degrees to enable you to choose the proper cutting angle for branches up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter. A 15-inch Woodzig saw blade is also included for added cutting power.

Fiskars 9391 Low Profile 12-Foot Tree Pruner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The shear jams easily and is difficult to free once it jams.
The pole clamp is poorly designed. It clamps to the outer telescoping tube instead of being glued, which allows the outer tube to easily separate from the clamp because the outer telescoping tube is thin and will not withstand much clamping force and the clamp is made from slick plastic.
I spent so much time freeing jams and trying to keep the pole together that I discarded it after three uses. It was not worth the frustration.
Fiskars may make good scissors but they make a lousy pole saw.
