Made to Order

I don’t understand the previous review. How hard is it to cut your pieces 1 1/2″ wide so they fit easily on the skewer? Saw these demo’d on tv and they work perfectly…no spinning of food. Pricey but very heavy duty.

Great design and execution

The picture does not do this step justice. It is a beefy, well built step. The clever design allows for adjustable height, while still keeping the step level to the ground.
My Ranger was not on the list of compatible vehicles, but I bought it anyway, figuring I would mod it somehow. The kit comes with plenty of adapters, so fitting it to my truck was pretty easy. I highly recommend installing the optional frame reinforcements that come with it. Adding them was easy, but gives a lot more strength.
I give it only 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1: They neglected to drill 1 of the 2 mounting holes in the bracket. 2: Their choice of self-tapping sheetmetal screws instead of #12 machine screws in the top of the bracket was a bad choice.
Installation took me about 5 hours total - some of that was running back and forth to the basement to get tools. Take your time and get the first one exactly right, then the other side will go smoothly.

Total piece of Junk.

The item that this company sent me, was not what I had ordered. They sent a completely different model. Which is pure Junk, and useless. I didn’t bother to send it back due to the high cost of the shipping item. It just wasn’t worth my time and efforts and cost to return item just to get probably a wrong model a second time. Don’t waste your money on this item, or you will regreat it. I had to give it a one star, or I wouldn’t be able to ost my review. Amazon.com, needs to make it possible to not add any stars, so future buyers can see when really bad revieew are placed.

Durable, comfortable gloves

I’ve chewed through many many gloves over the years. I like the stretchy material style gloves for comfort and control, but I usually wear through the fingertips. These gloves have leather covering the fingertips with the rest of they glove being made of a stretchy but tough fabric.. They are very durable and comfortable. I strongly recommend giving these gloves a try. I have used these gloves for demolition, carpentry, etc etc. Very satisfied.

So far, so good. Make sure you plug it directly into a wall outlet.

I’m surprised at how well this product worked with my setup. I wanted my old iMac G3 running OSX downstairs to be able to access the wireless network, which was based upstairs. Upstairs, my other computer is a Windows XP PC, which is physically connected to a cable modem router that’s physically connected to a wireless router.

For my situation, installing the Netgear Ethernet Extender Kit was fast and simple. First, I turned off the iMac downstairs. Then I went upstairs, plugged one unit into a wall outlet, then connected it to the cable router using the provided RJ45 cable (the package comes with 2 RJ45 cables, one for each unit). Then I went downstairs and plugged the other unit into a wall outlet, connecting that unit to the iMac with the other RJ45 cable. Then I turned the iMac on, and was able to surf the Internet immediately. The whole process took less than 5 minutes.

Important: the units WILL NOT WORK if you plug them into surge protectors or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). You have to plug them directly into the home’s wall outlets. My home is about 15 years old and we don’t have a lot of power surges, so I wasn’t too worried about plugging directly into the wall outlet. I did try to plug one unit into a surge protector, and it didn’t work that way.

Regarding connection speed, I ran a speed test on the iMac and the results say that I’m connected at optimum speed, as fast as my wireless network will allow.

I will probably buy another Netgear wireless extender and try it out on an old Windows PC, just to see if it works as well as it did on the iMac. But so far, I’m impressed and happy with its performance.

disappointed

I bought this Delta Pressure balanced Shower 2 months ago for my new addition. It was just installed and found out the diverter valve is no good. I am very disappointed since I now have to find a new valve myself.
