Shoulder Dolly #LD1000

Home Improvement Tools



Shoulder Dolly is a "back saver",

June 8, 2005
I used the Shoulder Dolly system to help my son and his family move. At first there was a lot of resistance to the new gadget, but by the 3rd heavy walnut chest of drawers, it was get the "strappie thing" and let's move this beast. A simple system that works extremely well. Lift with your legs/thighs and carry the weight evenly across your shoulders and not your arms and biceps. Everyone who tried it said "where do I get one, I will not move heavy furniture without it ! " Highly recommended. Follow Up: (Sept '05) bought my second set, my son would not give up the set he used to move with. I will not move furniture without one again !

Excellent construction and brightness. Fits easily in a tool bag or glove box. I am a field service engineer and have lost several expensive flashlights so I decided to go cheap just in case I lost another one. I bought 4 of these, and there's nothing cheap about them except the price.

Denali 52-Piece Screwdriver Set, Cushion Grip

Home Improvement Tools




Excellent Screwdrivers at any price,

November 10, 2007
I have so many screwdrivers I can't hardly find any of them. But when I do need one I open the drawer of my tool chest and look for these. I have all the brands and these feel very good and just like any of the other ones I own. These were given to me so I didn't buy them but when I need to replace a screwdriver I will look to these as the replacements. I particularly like the grip and the tip. The grip is made of an overmold material and when needing to torq down on something they don't hurt my hands. The tip has a special coating that at first I didn't think added any value but acts as a anti slip agent. Great screwdwriver set!

Denali 52-Piece 1/4- and 3/8-Inch Drive Socket Set, SAE/Metric

Home Improvement Tools



Far better then I expected,

April 17, 2008
After finding about half my sockets lost, lent out, or just worn out I went in search of an inexpensive set that would do light to medium duty work around the house and on the cars.

Having some success with other Denali tools I thought I'd give these a try. Not expecting much for under $30 I was amazed at the quality of this set for the $$$. Fitted case, easy to read sizes printed on each slot the whole kit is pretty darn solid, even the chrome is pretty nice with no bubbles or spurs. They aren't SNAP-ON perfect but then again, don't think I could even buy one socket from SNAP-ON for the price of this set. Worth the money.

Home Improvement : Black and Decker S600 Cordless Powered Scrubber

Home Improvement Tools



A Cleaning Power Tool,

October 13, 2005
I love this device. I have cleaned everything from carpet (spot cleaning) to grills to bathrooms. I bought my first Scumbuster in 1998 and it just wore out last spring. I immediately when to the Black and Decker store and purchased another one. I have also given them as gifts. It really gets things clean with little effort and I think it saves time. It makes cleaning the grout lines in my all tile shower with little ventilation incredibly easy. I think I also use less cleaning product than when I clean with a sponge. The downside is you have to remember to plug it in every once in a while. Although, the charge does last a very long time.

Home Improvement : Black & Decker S700E ScumBuster Xtreme Cleaning Tool with 3-in-1 Extension Handle

Scrubs well, still need to wipe, though,

December 10, 2007
I've used it twice now - it's not bad. The handle isn't really long enough to be that effective. Sometimes the handle turns when the power of the scrubber yanks it to one side - but not bad on the whole. The whole squirting feature I gave up on. It works, but it's just easier to squirt with a bottle on the side. The product is shown scrubbing behind the toilet, which I tried, and it works great - except that after you're done scrubbing, you need to wipe up the solution - so you have to get down on your hands and knees anyway.

The whole purpose of the scrubber is to scrub - which it does just fine. I got so into it I scrubbed just about everything in my bathroom (cold and flu season, you know). I was extremely pleased with the results. It makes cleaning a bit easier, but it's still a chore.

The shape of the brush scrubber works well, but it's too big to get into corners well - I believe there are other brushes you can purchase and I'll look into that. The scrubbing pad is great for flat surfaces, like tile and shower doors.

Fantastic!,

November 12, 2005
By jerry preusser (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
I own this and use it often. It replaced a bucket toolbox that was cumbersome and ugly. My only complaint with this item is the rigid handle seems to bend too much with ultra-heavy loads. But it maintains its shape when the load lightens. This is the bag I use for tools and have not found anything better yet. But I am still looking.

Home Improvement : Denali 22-Piece Screwdriver Set, Cushion Grip

Home improvement tools



A good all around screwdriver set,

September 25, 2007
By G. Overbeck (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
A good all around screwdriver set, includes many different sizes and drive styles. Screwdrivers are well built and comfortable, not quite as nice as a set of Klein's but at nearly a ¼ of the cost these are more than adequate. Also, I don't believe the tips are meant to be hardened but simply coated to help keep the screws on the tips; this will come off over time and is actually quite common in the market place. (These also have magnetic tips, so this is a non-issue in my book) I would put these up against any other $25.00 set of screwdrivers. Only suggestion would be to offer a roll out case...
