Sylvania SA160 20 Amp Dual Mode 24-Hour/60 Minute Digital Auto Shut Off Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I foolishly interpreted the word "timer" to mean that you can set the time, and have the switch turn on or off at the time you set. That's not how this works. All you can do is turn the switch on, and tell it how long you want it to stay on.

The Sylvania SA160 Dual-Mode 24-Hour/60-Minute Digital Auto Shut-Off Timer offers timed control of lights, fans, whirlpools, and more. You can use it as a regular on/off switch, or you can use the timer to turn off appliances after a set amount of time. The memory saver feature remembers your last setting for the next time you use the Timer, or in case of a power failure.
Get Convenient Control of Your AppliancesWith a 20 amp capacity, the SA160 Auto Shut-Off Timer is ideal for automatically turning off your lights, fans, whirlpools, or rechargeable batteries after a designated amount of time. The SA160 is perfect for controlling lights in remote areas that don't get a lot of foot traffic. Digital control eliminates the need for noisy timers and other devices, and the SA160 is easy to set, read, and use.

Memory Recall Saves TimeA memory-saving feature recalls the last setting you've made. For example, if you set your fan to go off after 45 minutes, the next time you push the button on the SA160 Auto Shut-Off Timer, it will default to 45 minutes. To reset the Timer, simply press the reset button located on the front of the unit.
Digital Accuracy for Precise ControlThe large, illuminated digital display is easy to read and maintains accurate time. If you use the timed setting to turn on a light or whirlpool, the digital display will count down the minutes remaining until it turns off.

Black & Decker HPB18 18-Volt Slide-Pack Battery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is amazing how one becomes accustomed, over time, to less that great performance when one has nothing to compare it to. Two of my six (several years old) old batteries finally gave up the ghost and would not recharge. I use them on a cordless drill, pole-extension type chain saw and pole-extension type trimmer. I finally decided to start replacing them while the design was still available remembering the demise of the B&D Versa-Pack batteries. My batteries arrived very quickly. I had either never experienced or had totally forgotten what my equipment could do on new batteries. The model number was different but they were the batteries used by my tools. It took only one battery to do the job normally requiring two to three of the older ones and I still had the power and torque on my tools to continue on to the next project. They must've upgraded the cells in these new packs.
Were my old batteries ever this good? I just don't remember and don't think so, but I am, none the less, a very happy customer with these new ones.

Black & Decker HPB18-OPE 18-Volt Slide Pack Battery For 18-Volt Outdoor Cordless Power Tools Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Black and Decker has at least 7 versions of the Slide 18v battery pack. You have no guidance which is better than the other as B&D absolutely refuses to publish the ampere rating or number of contacts of any of them.
Battery identification is poor: Every battery I have seen is marked "244760-00." What good is that in identifying the battery? There are some molded-in numbers but B&D absolutely refuses to tell you what they mean.
On the blister pack for the HPB18-OPE you read "25% more power than the standard battery*" Finding the "*", it says "Compared to the HPB18." Both are the same price on Lowes shelves. B&D absolutely refuses to divulge how these two compare to each other or the FireStorm series.
A Factory Store manager has said two Firestorm versions were once better but have been downgraded this past 12-18 months and are usually worse than the HP18 units. B&D absolutely refuses to divulge any history of the FireStorm 18V batteries.
These batteries will connect to three types of chargers. One will charge the battery in 9 hours, another in 3 hours, and the last in 1 hour. Between the battery and charger combination, severely reduced battery life will result if the battery is left on the charger longer than 2 days. On another the degrade occurs only after 30 days. The third does not damage the battery in any length of time. You are left to guess which combination is optimum and which is a disaster. B&D absolutely refuses to divulge which is which.
I have many hours into trying to make heads or tails out of this, including several contacts on the phone, and e-mails with B&D, ditto plus in person at a factory store and factory repair station. The B&D Factory Stores and Repair Stations concur with my view that B&D is extremely arrogant, totally wrong in their attitude, and show no willingness to change.
