Cheap, Dewalt twins, I purchased DEWALT DC9096-2 18-Volt XRP battery pack. It is great. I am very pleased with my purchase, and would purchase again. It was shipped in a very timely manner. The only problem with the whole ordeal was a mess up through "my postoffice." The box was severly damaged, but with the carefull packaging, and care to the safety of the product through amazon, it was in perfect condition. Thanks again! The Whitty’s

Cheap, DeWalt 18V tools are great, These batteries, and the tools they support are GREAT! My original batteries are now 12 years old, and going strong. I later bought these as spares to have on hand so that I’d never have to stop a job waiting to recharge a battery. That said, however, I want to suggest that EVERYONE who uses these batteries [...] and read it carefully, as it dispels some popular misconceptions about the use of these batteries. The only one I ever ruined, I did so because I hadn’t read this page, and thought it was better to totally discharge the batteries to eliminate "memory" effect. Wrong.

Cheap, Works as it should. Easy to install., As my first venture into solar energy this has been a nice panel. I’ve had it about a month. I paired it with a "Xantrex Technologies 802-1500 XPower Powerpack 1,500-Watt Portable Backup Power System" and a "Sunforce 60032 30 Amp Digital Charge Controller". The panel is 12 volt, 4.6 amps though at this point I’m seeing up to 13.6 volts and 5 amps. I suspect over time as the panel weakens it will be more toward the 12 volt, 4.6 amp. The panel was simple to hook up and came with what was needed. I did go purchase new wire as I needed more distance for where I mounted it. I’m able to charge the battery from dead to full in 2 days. If I were to rotate the panel through the day I feel I could fully charge in 1 day. Nice for backup charging and learning. For any real application you would need a ton of these though.

Cheap, Easy jumpstarts, This is a great little charger. Its a bit heavy, but it sure helps on camping trips for plugging in phone chargers and lots of other things. And it doesn’t lose much power. Also great when the power goes out. Just keep it close. The light on it wont help you in the dark if you cant even find the charger.

Cheap, Great for short power outages, I got the Duracell Powerpack 600 as a backup for when the power is out for a short time so I don’t have to fire up the generator all the time. We used it when the power was out for about 2 hours the other evening. I was able to power a light and a small television and recharged my laptop battery. The kids were thrilled that they could have a light and their evening programs and I was happy I could still get my work done without having to pull out the generator.

Cheap, Rockwell jawhorse, I got this for my husband for his birthday in order to salvage what was left of our washer and dryer, which he had been using as a cutting surface. He uses Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse now for all garage things related, and he really loves it! It really does fold up into a nice neat little package, and although the "wheel" feature is quite awkward, it makes it more mobile than without. Now to get the accessories (over time), so I can save the deep freezer surface . . .

Cheap, Great Generator, Received Item as promised, great generator, easy to assemble, at 72 I had it ready to rock and roll in about 2 hour. Packaging was above average and with tailgate delivery I never had to touch the unit until after the driver left. Filled with oil and gas, turn on the gas valve and away it went. I back fed my main panel, hit the transfer switch and powered my whole house
with hardly any surge in the generator. Perfect for the backup I wanted. Used 50a 4 wire plug, 4/c #8 cord.

Cheap, No problems so far, I ordered PowerMax XP8500P after a major power outage in my area. It arrived very quickly and in excellent condition. I realize this is a product built in China and the reputation for China is a little in question but this generator is awesome. Started right up, runs nearly my whole house and so far is as dependable as anything I’ve purchased. I shopped prior to making this purchase and any other brand, for comparable features was from several hundred dollars more to over double the money. So far I’m not the least bit disappointed. And the shipper was fast and very helpful. All in all a great purchasing experience.
