Marigold 12" Professional Titanium Rotary Paper Trimmer Cutter (TR410)

I have been needing to replace my current paper trimmer for a while now and this seems to do the trick very well. It is similar to my other one which also had the rotary blade that slides along the rail to keep the cuts straight and neat. The trimmer on the box says that is can cut through 8 sheets of 80GSM paper or online it says it can cut through 10 sheets of 20lb paper. I don’t usually cut that much at once since I still have not found a way to keep all my pages straight while stacked and usually I am just cutting one or two sheets at a time.

Some of the pros to this cutter are that the board is marked with multiple measurements for common sized cuts although most of them are in metric rather than inches for the USA. This is not so say that inches are not on there it is just not a prominent and slightly confusing until you realize which marks are which measurement. To be fair these are from a company based in Australia so they use metric which is the reason it is more prominently marked. Another pro is that the board has raised edges much like many others that allow you to get your papers straight on at least on side. Another pro I like on this cutter is the fact that it has a plastic guide so that you cannot put too much paper under the cutter at once.

Depending on what you like the size of the bard may be a pro or a con. My last board would hold paper bigger than a standard 8.5x11. This one is only about 6.25 inches wide but will still hold a 13 inch paper.

The best most beneficial selling point is the fact that the blade is completely covers except where it actually cuts the paper. This is great because it keeps you fingers from getting. This feature alone helps it stand out from most if not all its competitors. See the pictures for to see what I mean.

4 stars for a good product.

PowerSpa® All Chrome 4-Setting LED Shower Head with Air Jet LED Turbo Pressure-Boost Nozzle Technology; 7 colors of LED Lights change automatically every few seconds by POWER SPA

Light is lacking in power but water pressure is good., January 25, 2017

This review is from: PowerSpa® All Chrome 4-Setting LED Shower Head with Air Jet LED Turbo Pressure-Boost Nozzle Technology; 7 colors of LED Lights change automatically every few seconds

See video on Amazon.com  This air jet LED turbo powered chrome showerhead is a great replacement for the old one that had brittle rubber jets. I choose this one for the nice simple look and the the jet options. It is sturdy and well made overall. As an added bonus I thought it would be cool to have the changing colored lights. This feature is powered by the running water so there are no batteries to mess with.

Although the showerhead works great and cuts down on water consumption I am disappointed with the main feature that sets it aside from its competitors. The lights rotate in color like described and shown by the pictures but the lights are not near as bright as shown. I was led to believe that these lights would light up the shower to create a cool or calming experience. If I was to turn my back to the showerhead I would never notice any difference and only a little difference with the lights out in my small bathroom.

This showerhead is great for those that want to do the replacement themselves. All you have to do ir unscrew the old showerhead and then hand tighten this one on. The rubber gasket seals it from leaking so you don’t need to use any of the white plumbers tape.

Overall I give this product 4 stars. It does its job well but the selling point for me is the lightshow which is dimmer than the pictures. See the attached video and picture for more detail.

Night Provision™ ULTRA BRIGHT BX-960 USB Rechargeable Bike Light Headlight & Flashlight LED 960 Lumen by Night ProVision

Great light., January 25, 2017

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Night Provision™ ULTRA BRIGHT BX-960 USB Rechargeable Bike Light Headlight & Flashlight LED 960 Lumen

See video on Amazon.com  I have done reviews on other bike lights as well as flashlights but this one has a few feature that really stands out from the rest. The three areas that I always consider first are usage time, brightness and durability.

Usage Time: The Night Provision BX-960 uses a 18650 rechargeable battery that is charged by a USB cable. It seems everything these days is going to a USB cable but that is not what makes it stands out What makes it stand out is the fact is the battery itself. The battery is removeable and replaceable. A quick search online will find you 2 extras plus a charger for them for around $10. This means not only are you going to get any where from 2 hours in high mode to 14 hours of use in the low mode but you can pack a few extra charged batteries to keep you going as long as you need. Another point to make on this topic is that the included battery is rated at 2300mAh (the included manual says it is 2600mAh). I would think this would mean if you get the 6000mAh replacement batteries then one of those batteries would run for at least 4 hours each on high since they are twice the milli amps of the included battery. Another great feature of this light is the fact that it warns you with a color code in the indicator light what your current battery life is. There's nothing worse than not knowing the status of your battery while depending on it for light.

Brightness: The Night Provision BX-960 uses a XM-L2 T6 LED instead of a bulb. Many lights like this are going to these LED’s because they are much more long lasting than conventional bulbs. Because I am so interested in the technical qualities I did some reserch and found out that the XM-L2 T6 LED is the brightest and best in its class. They did not go cheap.

Durability: This also needs to be a strong factor of consideration if you are a trail rider or mountain biker. This flashlight seems like it will take quite a beating and may come out of a hard crash with nothing more than a scratch. The case itself seems to weigh less than the battery but is very durable. IF anything will fail on this it will be the handlebar mount which is all made of plastic. The mount is great and I love the knob on the back that ratchets the holder to just the right diameter.

I have included pictures of the three light settings (high-med-low) along with a video.
