 "VIDEO and review for Stylus Pro light" 2008-05-14
By Nutnfancy (USA)

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R14P1E1E7LGJEV I remain amazed at the progress in portable lighting technology. Recent advancements in LED quality and brightness levels surpasses past iterations and as of May 2008 this seems to be the best light in this size and form factor. The Stylus Pro is an improvement over the thinner but not-as-bright regular Stylus, also a great little light (and reviewed also in the video). The SP not only has a brighter "high flux" LED but its push button switch makes it one hand operable, a big advantage pretty much in all situations. For these features it is only slightly thicker than the regular Stylus but still very lightweight (only a svelte 1.8 oz). The output is also electronically controlled meaning its brightness will be more consistent and even through the life of the batteries. Other features including materials, battery types, and their clips are covered in the video. Both the Stylus and the Stylus Pro are super quality lights that feature lightweight, small size, and good durability. In the world of small lights the Stylus Pro is currently reigning supreme.

 "Great light Great price" 2008-05-31
By Everyman (everywhere)

Lightweight, intense light, easy to operate with one hand- this would be an incredible tool for law enforcement or an emergency responder. I'm buying a few more immediately I doubt one could ask for a more versatile hand held light. The beam is very intense- might even do well as a self-defense item as it is blinding if shone directly in the eyes. Money well spent!

 "Super!" 2008-07-03
By B----

Never owned a better light!

Super bright, easy to get batteries, tough construction and even a holster with a lifetime guaranty.

I also bought the Streamlight Ulta Stinger and it too is wonderful.

Streamlight has turned me into a light junkie.

I'm spoiled and will never buy another Maglite nor anything else.

By QuantumJoe83 (Charleston, SC United States)

I am a resident physician and The Streamlight 66118 Stylus Pro is a great light for me. I was tired of using cheap penlights that always seemed to break or flicker and where not very bright for assessing pupilary reflexes and patients' oropharynxes. During the early morning hours when patients are still asleep, this light also comes in very handy to assess surgical wounds as well.



Overall, I'm very happy with this light, and would strongly recommend it to anyone who needs a small but bright light.

By Doc Stew (Schaumburg, IL)

I'm a veterinarian and have been looking for a penlight that won't break when dropped and won't stop working when wet. I've FINALLY found the perfect light! Not only is this thing shockproof and waterproof, but it also puts out brighter light from a pen light than I've ever seen in my life. I finally can get accurate pupillary light reflexes from a pen light! I've recommended this to many veterinarians, and all have given rave reviews! This little flashlight is amazing!

 "4 ports are better than 1" 2008-05-19
By D. Dodson

First, I want to clarify from the other review that said this only had 3 usable ports and 1 for the cigarette lighter only. This didn't make sense to me because a normal cig. lighter is typically used for other DC items. The fact is, there is one marked for a cig. lighter, and the other 3 cannot. But all 4 can be used for any electronics. There are 4 12V-DC power sockets.



Second, the size is not that bad for having 4 ports. I ordered the 3-port and 4-port and they're both the same size.



I've been using this with a GPS, Sirius radio, and phone charger with no problems. I'm sure I'll be able to add more items as well.



UPDATE:

After using this for over a year, I have no problems and am glad to have the extra ports. Many times I've used all four ports plus an additional one in my vehicle. I have it sitting loosely in a van and it takes a beating well. Every once in awhile I have to wiggle one of the cables, or pull it out and plug it back in, but it works! I'm definitely happy with this.

 "The ONLY solution for those who have many/high powered electronics" 2007-12-28
By R. Harriston (Richmond, VA)

I have gone through 4 different cigarette adapter splitters, only to fin that all of them blew the fuses in my car after trying to put a 3rd electronic in. i bought two of these (i have to outlets) and it works great. In the 1st one I have my xm, gps, and a set of neon lights connected. the second has 1 set of neon lights, 1 set of led lights, and a dvd player hooked up. They work great.



Pros:

-great value

-only one ive found not to blow fuses constantly

-comes with mounting tape/ screws and plastic pad



Cons:

-Its really big and kind of awkward

-the safety caps are annoying (i just cut them off so its fine)



but the trade off is more than worth the convenience of this thing

 "Really holds four adapters and they don't fall out!" 2008-08-31
By Lyzzard (Kansas City, MO USA)

We already had a power port similiar to this (with only two sockets) but it did not hold the adapters in tightly. They would constantly come unplugged and we would lose power to the portable DVD players and have to go all through the menu again and scene selections. This one is great! It tightly held the adapters and we have had no power loss problems.

 "Worked perfectly!" 2008-08-19
By Bad Cat! (Duluth, MN USA)

I bought this to use as an extension cord/multiple outlet to use in my car. The cord extends about 4 feet, allowing the main unit to sit comfortably in the middle or back of the car. While a different (cheap) multi-plug outlet died early in the trip, this unit survived the full journey (many 12-hour driving days), powering one GPS, two cell phones, and a portable fridge! There were absolutely no problems with this unit. It didn't blow a fuse or even warm up at all. The unit isn't nearly as huge or heavy as others claimed - it is exactly the size and weight I'd expect for a four-outlet unit. Measures about 5.25" x 3" x 1.75" with a removable bracket on the base. A great product for the price!

 "Great Car Accessory for Anyone with Lots of Accessories" 2009-03-01
By Joseph D. Lanzendorfer (Delaware, USA)

I've got a satellite radio, a GPS system, a power inverter for my laptop, chargers for my phone and bluetooth, and I'm thinking about getting a radar detector, and all of these devices use the one cigarette lighter in my car. Before I bought this device, I had to pick and choose which one I wanted to use, and every now and then I want to be able to light a cigarette. I still can't do 6 things at once, but 4 is much better, and the plug on the far left still works with your car's cigarette lighter. It also comes with a mounting device and a special two-sided sticker so you can put it just about anywhere in your car or truck.



Only thing you need to keep in mind is that just because you have 4 plugs doesn't mean you can go crazy. The fuse is still designed to cut off at around 90 watts or something like that to keep the plug from frying, so don't put 4 power-hungry devices in all at once or you might be out one dashboard for the rest of the road trip.

Neiko Stainless Steel 6-Inch Digital Caliper with Extra-Large LCD Screen - Instant SAE-Metric Conversion Review. When you require exact measuring, you reach for a caliper. But an accurate measurement is meaningless if you can't read it accurately. This caliper takes an essential tool into the 21st century with an extra-large LCD digital readout for exact internal and outside measurements accurate to .001". Instantly converts from SAE or Metric, the display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. Machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism and position lock for sure adjustment. Hardened stainless steel shaft with depth-measurement probe, precision ground jaws. On-off switch with auto-off, two long-life batteries included (one spare)....

 "Versatile, easy to use and accurate" 2007-02-13
By In the Middle of the Road (Connecticut)

If you want analog, this is not for you. I've got three calipers including this one. One is metric only. Another is inches only. And then here's this one which does both with very good accuracy.



It has a good solid feel and the digital readoutis handled by three simple button controls. I frequently use it in preference to the more expensive alternates because it's accurate and I sometimes want to do both inch and metric measurements without having to use a second tool.



It does not offer an alternatie analog readout except in the crudest terms. It shouldn't.

 "Excellent !!!" 2008-10-18
By Lew (New Jersey)

For the money, you cannot beat this product. I work in a Navy calibration laboratory and calibrated it with gage block standards and it was right on, dead nutz.

 "Digital Calipers" 2007-09-04
By M. Augustis

What a bargain? This product allows me to make high resolution measurements in multiple directions. It has a digital readout that switches from US to Metric redouts, and is very durable stainless steel fro an excellent price.

 "Surprisingly well made and solid feel" 2007-07-10
By G. Lee (New Jersey)

I was surprised to see how well made this tool is. The actual calipers were machined with precision and fits together very well when closed. The moving parts all operate smoothly. The zero at any point is a good feature if you want to measure differences. Also, to have both metric and SAE on the same unit is just gravy. I might had gotten 800 on my SAT back in the day but now I can barely calculate changes at McD...

 "Digital Caliper, Large Screen, 6"" 2009-05-20
By B. Arnold

This is an excellent product. Everything worked as expected. It's very easy to read. The fractional option is seldom used but it's nice to know that it's there. I particularly liked the fact that it turns on and shuts off automatically. (No more dead batteries!) It's an instrument that you just use without any frustrations. I plan to buy another.

By Mike Hunt (Boston, MA)

This Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm is great. Nice style and simple to install and use. The digital display is easy to read because it is backlit. Test/Reset button is easy to locate. The front load battery is the best, no more having to pull the unit to change batteries.

Thanks Kidde and Amazon.com!!!

 "Great CO detector at a great price." 2006-03-22
By C. Breslin (Pennsylvania, USA)

I'm reviewing the Kidde 900-0146-004 Nighthawk Carbon Monoxide Alarm. This unit was incredibly easy to set up straight out of the box. It's also easy to hang. And for those that do no wish to hang it up on a wall, it has a small "kick stand" in the back that enables it to stand by itself on a shelf. The unit is simple to use and has an LED that is easy to read. I'm very happy with this purchase.

 "Carbon Monoxide Alarm" 2006-08-17
By Steve Black (Garrison, Minnesota USA)

I've only had this product for one month which isn't very long but what i really like about it is the digital readout. The digital readout takes any guess work out of the picture. Another nice feature is the low battery alarm that tells you when to replace the batteries. This unit should be replaced after seven years ( like most i suppose ) and it even will sound an alarm that tells you when it's time to replace it. I can't see any reason to buy any other Carbon Monoxide Alarm. So far i think it's worth every penny and i recommend it to everyone.

 "Nice Product Kidde" 2006-01-09
By Willis Gruby (Cleveland, OH)

This Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm is nice for one reason.

The batteries are in front and I do not have to remove to replace. I change the batteries every month during the heating season. Nice Product Kidde and Amazon.com!

 "Testing Kiddes CO Detector" 2007-11-21
By Brian A. Whatcott

I placed a bell jar over a candle til it guttered. I moved the bell jar slowly, to cover the CO detector. Initially, there was no observable change. But after less than a minute, the digital indicator started climbing. The notes mentioned that below a cut off concentration, there is no indication at all, and that's what I found. It was attractively priced and functional and I can use it as a sampling meter at a pinch. It has a longish time constant, which is probably as it should be. I liked the peak concentration storage/display capability.

Neat!

 "DeWalt Tools are best on market" 2005-12-02
By T. Schulte (O'Fallon, Missouri USA)

I own/run a low voltage company in St. Louis. We pre-wire houses for phone/TV/networking, install intercoms, security, and central vacuum systems, and home theatres as well. We currently have 20+ DeWalt 18volt cordless tools and at least that many batteries. We are constantly asked by carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and competitiors how the tools hold up.



We can drill 100+ 3/4 holes on one battery every day with no problem. We can drill 10+ 2 1/4" holes with a DeWalt self feed bit on one battery. The recip saw, the circular saw, the angle grinder, and the flashlights all work flawlessly. We even have the vacuums so we can clean up after ourselves.



Now the old batteries (all black) last about 1 year for regular use. We have a few new batteries (yellow top) that are a little over a year old that show no sign of slowing down.



We have found that when it is cold they do not last as long. Also the charge needs to be in a semi warm area (not in a garage). Also, the battery needs to be drained most of the way before charging. Repeated recharging of a half dead battery dramatically reduces the life. But any battery manufacturer will tell you that.

 "Dewalt makes some great stuff. I love my 18v cordless tools!" 2006-04-22
By Mike (Kokomo, IN USA)

I'm hearing a lot of complaints about the batteries. Face it, the batteries are based on NiCad technology. NiCad are not known for infinite shelf-life, has a memory, and absolutely hates to be placed on a charger for extended periods of time.



Now knowing all the good and bad things about NiCads, these batteries are absolutely no different than you will find in any other system using NiCads. If you don't understand the why your batteries are dying off so quickly, it most likely can be explained by researching the things to do and not do to NiCads.



I've beat the hell out of the tools and the batteries and still manage to get an excess of 2yrs of service out of these batteries. If you open one of these up, all you find is a series of sub-C NiCad batteries in them. Count them up and just go price sub-C NiCad batteries with the same Amp-Hr rating. You will soon fine that even if you tried to replace the batteries into the existing battery case, it is still cheaper and easier to buy replacements.



Rechargable batteries of any technology do NOT have infinite life. With absolutely following standard practice care of the battery type, you can extend this life to the theoritical max. That is hard to do on the job site when you need to get the job done quick. I use the 15min. charger, which is great but at a significant cost in service life of the batteries. You are never supposed to charge the batteries while they are hot. This means if you run it down at the job site, you shouldn't be placing them into a rapid charger. You should have enough spare batteries to get you busy while letting a natural battery rotation occur that insures they are cool when you charge. Slow charging extends the life of the batteries as well by getting internal temperatures lower. You should never leave a NiCad on a charger. You should run down the NiCad battery before charging to help avoid memory.



You can mention any battery technology and there are do's and don'ts. I've had Lithium Ion batteries in a cell phone last less than 1yr.



It all depends on your battery usage habits. Once you understand what you are supposed to do to extend the batteries life, you can usually figure out pretty quickly why you are not getting the life you expected.



Good solid product. I'd buy them again without hesitation. And I have yet to see any group of cordless tool manufacture's use a standard battery interface so that you can use the same battery in different brands of cordless tools. So being locked-in to a particular cordless tool manufacturer is a given.



This is all the price you pay for being cordless. The only way around all this is to pull out the ole 50' extension cord.

 "Dewalt 18 volt tools" 2006-02-08
By Steven Smit (Collierville, TN USA)

I have used Dewalt 18 volt tools for several years and a 24 volt saw for the last 3 years. Out of 5 18 volt batteries only one died after 2 years of use and it was used when I got it. The 24 volt saw has only one battery and it works as good as the day I bought it. These tools are used almost daily and I dont do a good job of taking care of them.

 "It was finally time to replace my batteries" 2005-11-05
By Richard L Ellis Jr (Scarsdale, NY United States)

The Dewalt tool system works very well. The weak link is, of course, the batteries. Mine lasted three years but it was my fault they needed to be replaced. I have a number of friends who have never had a problem, some who use them every day, and others who use them once in a while. The killer of these batteries is temperature. You will kill them if you run them in the summer til they are hot to the touch then try and charge them right away. Or, as in my case, you use and charge them in the cold. They also don't like getting wet. Boat owners have told me they only last a year on the salt water. Last winter I left my two batteries in my unheated garage with one of them plugged in all winter. The one that was plugged in never worked again and the other one only had about half of its capacity left. This was not Dewalts fault. I'm happy to get two new batteries for $99.

 "Outstanding product, outstanding value!" 2005-12-21
By E. Henderson (New Orleans, LA)

I bought my DeWalt 4-piece combo set (recip saw, trim saw, drill, light) six years ago and only this month had to replace a battery. I take care of my tools. I use them hard, but follow the manufacturer's guidance on maintenance/recharging. Granted, the replacements are expensive ($99.00 for a two battery combo ), but I would rather pay this amount for a reliable tool instead of paying half as much for a tool that lasts a fourth as long. Six years use out of a set of rechargeable batteries is well worth the money.
