The Vizia costs less than the Lutron Maestro but it does everything the Maestro does with a few exceptions. 1) The Maestro has a double tap feature for instant full-on lights, otherwise a single tap returns the lights to the last used dimmer setting. Vizia lacks this double tap feature although full on lights can be achieved with a single tap every time using advanced programing features. 2) You cannot turn the lights on incrementally using the dimmer bar as you can with the Maestro (Nice if you don't want to chance waking someone up with bright lights). 3) The Maestro provides for much longer "delayed off" options than the Vizia. But these are small considerations. As far as I know the Vizia matches all the other features that I love about the Maestro but for less money. I have installed four in my home and I'm very satisfied. I would NEVER go back to the traditional 3-way dimmer arrangement where dimming can only be controlled from one location! The slow fade off is an elegant touch too.

Leviton's line of Vizia control devices combines elegant design with all-digital circuitry to give you precise lighting control. This 1000 watt Incandescent Dimmer has an LED indicator to help you find it in the dark and a line of seven LEDs to indicate the preset brightness level. The brightness level is set by a handy control bar just to the right of the paddle. This dimmer can stand alone as a single-pole dimmer, or can be part of a 3-way (or more) circuit. Operating the Vizia 1000w Incandescent Dimmer couldn't be easier. One touch turns your lights on to the last-used brightness level, or you can adjust to a new level by using the Dim/Bright Bar (even when the lights are off). Any installed remote dimmers will track and display level settings. Touch again to turn the lights off, or hold the paddle for a long touch, and you've engaged a 10-second delayed-off feature. When the lights are off, the long touch turns the lights on to full brightness. And you can easily adjust the fade rates to gradually bring the lights up to your desired level or fade to off, enhancing the mood and giving longer lamp life.

The wire shelf system in my 5th wheel closet collapsed under the weight of my cloths. I purchased these rod supports so that I could put up a real closet pole. I used five of these supports evenly spaced along the length of the rod, along with 2 metal rod end supports attached to the walls at each end of the rod (I did use longer screws). Not only can I fill my entire closet rod full of cloths & travel, but the cloths are now centered in the closet as well. These were well worth the money.

Had a couple of these timers installed for approx 2 months, and after a power outage, they simply failed to turn the lights on, even in the manual-override mode (yes, I checked whether the light bulbs were burnt out or not). Turns out, there was mega-ohms of resistance through the wires when the device was turned on in manual mode; something burnt out in both of my timers. Returned to the store, and purchased a different brand.

I recieved this chainsaw as a gift. My father made fun of it..said it looked like a toy. This chainsaw proved him wrong. I trimmed off several large tree branches and also cut down a medium sized pine tree with this mighty little chainsaw. My only complaint is that the battery does not last as long as I would like. After several weekends of tree pruning the chain is dull but not unexpected after the amount of use. I do recommend this product.

This is one of my favorite tools! In the past my husband would have to come to the school with a ladder and hang 2-3 paperclips with string, then move the ladder and go back up again. I can take the hangler down and move it to another place in seconds. My kindergartners saw me use the tool once and want to know when they can watch me move the hangers again. I'm purchasing my second "Put-Up" because someone borrowed it and liked it so much that they kept it!

DiMarzio 5-Way Split Coil Pickup Selector Switch Review

DiMarzio 5-Way Split Coil Pickup Selector Switch
Average Reviews:

I put this switch into a 1976 Fender Strat. It fit perfectly even though the switch is considerably wider than the original. Wired it up and it works flawlessly. Action is a bit stiff, but hasn't had much use yet.
This is a 4-pole 5-throw (position) switch that can access nearly all of the wiring positions possible on your guitar. Here are two wiring examples. For two humbuckers, connect lead #1 to hot, lead #4 to ground then leads #2 and #3 to the poles (repeat for the other pickup). This provides a simple way of getting any in-phase combination of humbucking or parallel from all four coils. For three single coils, wire lead #1 of the neck pickup to hot and lead #2 of the bridge pickup to ground. Connect the other four wires to the poles of this switch and get nearly any combination of parallel and humbucking you desire.

Hitachi W6VM 6.6 Amp Drywall Screwdriver Review

Hitachi W6VM 6.6 Amp Drywall Screwdriver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this screw gun! The only thing bad I have to say about it is the green cheap rubber graphics that is on it. It started falling off the first day I had it on a hot steel roof. This gun is in its 8th month of use. Wanted to wait to review it after I abuse the heck out of it. Most drywallers work indoors. I work outdoors in the midwest elements year round. I converted this screw gun to install 1/4" Hex Self Tapping sheet metal screws on pole barns. All you need is the right cone tip (call Hitachi CS) and a 2 9/16" (1/4") magnetic nut driver.
Image how many screws I have fired in with this in 8 months! Picture a 200' long by 80' wide pole barn and how many screws it takes. Two sides of the roof, walls, and some of the trim. The company I work for provides Dewalt 2300 rpm screw guns. Those guns made my forearm muscle hurt at the end of the day. After a couple hundred feet of wall steel off an extention ladder. The Hitachi's speed and torque of the gun sometimes is overkill but, my arm feels fine at the end of a 10-12 hour day.
1. Speed. My production has increased 10 fold. Keeping up with people who have been with the company 5+ years, in my first year.
2. Power. With torque to go through the sheet metal, hit a truss gusset/clip and go right into the wood with ease. Seen people struggle with the Dewalt and even damage the steel.
3. Fatigue. No more arm strain when extending my reach off a ladder. Its light weight and has great hand contours. Can be used right or left handed. The Hitachi does the work not you.
4. Endurance. Illinois weather is unpredictable. I have put the W6VM in every weather senario. Hot & Cold temps, snow, sleet, drizzle, mud, dirt, gravel, clay and sand terrains. Its been kicked, stepped on, and dropped. Locking the trigger and running it full bore up to 20 minutes at a time without unlocking. Never overheated or froze up. Motor hasn't skiped a beat or lost any power.
5. Flaws. The green rubber on it is a nice attempt to comfort my hand but, is cheap and not molded to the hard plastic of the gun. The depth setting cone is showing some wear now. I will probably have to replace it in the next year. But hey, for what its been through I can justify replacing 2 moving parts.
Last, the long cord is a nice feature. You'll free up an extention cord. On a 100' long roof I can usually get away with using one 25' extention cord.

Holmes HASF1516 Convertible 16-Inch Stand/Floor Fan with Elegant Swirl Base Review

Holmes HASF1516 Convertible 16-Inch Stand/Floor Fan with Elegant Swirl Base
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Call me crazy, but I love this fan! Finally, there is peace again in my small apartment. Three months ago I purchased a Sunbeam fan, Model SSF1600RC (see my review of that fan on amazon.com), and it so disturbed my peace, that I ordered this Holmes fan. The other one will be stored away for emergencies. I previously had a Holmes 19" fan, and I noticed it was quieter than all the other brands I`ve tried, so I really hoped this fan would also be quiet. It did not disappoint. In fact, this is the quietest fan I've ever owned. Now I don't have to bother my neighbors by playing the TV loud, in order to hear it over fan noise. If you turn this fan up to High, it's as noisy as my Sunbeam was on low. The Low and Medium speeds are pleasantly quiet. The Low speed puts out enough air flow that you can feel it 10 feet away.
The strange thing is, this Holmes fan is manufactured by Sunbeam, according to the instruction booklet. The warranty is covered by "Sunbeam Products, Inc., doing business as Jarden Consumer Solutions". For some reason, their Holmes fans are in a totally different class, as far as noise levels.
If I had the storage space, I would buy another one of these now, because these fans only seem to last 2-3 years. I run it about 15 hours a day during the warmer months, and clean it regularly. Unfortunately, the motors always freeze up on me anyway. It sure would be nice if a fan would last longer than the warranty period. Maybe I'll get lucky this time.
