Hopkins 09715 Hitch Level Review

Hopkins 09715 Hitch LevelSaw this model level on a used camper purchased by my brother-in-law and decided right then that this one was a must-have on our own camper. This replaced the standard (cheap!) stick-on levels that are available at any dealer or retail camping department. Those require you to check the front for side to side and then walk to the side to check front to back level. Those also tend to "move" slightly when the sun heats up the stick-on tape, so you might be level or you might just be close to level. The Hopkins mounts securely and permanently to the tongue, just ahead of the jack, and is in the perfect position to quickly check level. By turning the dial, the indicator arrow also shows how much you need to raise the low side. It's accurate, once you calibrate it with a carpenter's level on the floor, securely mounted and in a great position so you avoid any extra steps! The only problem encountered was that I failed to measure the diameter of the screws and went ahead and drilled the size hole (9/32) indicated on the package. Wrong!! I had to use larger screws. I should have used a 1/8 bit. But, the hex head screws I pulled from my stash were easier to install than the straight-slot screws provided.

Xantrex XPower Powerpack 400 Plus Portable Backup Power Source Review

Xantrex XPower Powerpack 400 Plus Portable Backup Power SourceThis powerpack pretty much works as advertised.The coolest thing is the builtin 400 Watt inverter which allows you plug in almost any AC powered device.Great for emergency power or just portable camping power!Unit charges quickly using the supplied DC adapter or in about a day using the supplied AC adapter.
The only drawback is that the builtin air compressor isn't fan cooled so it can only operate about 10-15 minutes at a time before it over heats and air flow could be higher.Another option would be to plug in a high flow, heavy duty air compressor into the builtin 12V outlet or inverter.

Q Industries HV40A2 SuperFlow Portable Air Compressor with LED Light Review

Q Industries HV40A2 SuperFlow Portable Air Compressor with LED LightOk.. I didn't get this from Amazon. I got it from Steve's Tools for about 5$ more.
Needed it now because my old crappy $15 pump finally died.

Pros.
Real smooth and well balanced.This thing doesn't jump around at all.
Fill speed is good, but not for large tires.
For those get the version that clamps to battery terminals.

This one topped off my P255-75R15 in decent time.
However, filling up my 60PSI doughnut spare took a while.
I don't think there is much head space for the higher pressures.
This is where the screw-on air chuck was useful.

The pressure gauge actually works and is accurate.
The switches are separate for pump and LED lights.

The handle is actually a metal heat shield for the output.
Run this pump for a while airing up a 60 PSI spare and you
will understand why it needs a heat shield.

The unit comes with a bag.Not the highest quality but
sufficient for storing the pump and a few other odds and ends.

Cons.
The screw-on air chuck can be a pain, but just overfill a bit before taking it off.
The air hose is adequate for reaching front and back tires on one side,
but you have to move the pump from one side of the vehicle to the other.
The LED lamps aren't that bright, and the blinkers are only three white LEDs.
You have to put in a red filter.They should have been red LEDs.

I'm reserving comment on the lighter connector.Looks a bit cheap compared to the
rest of this unit.

All in all I'm happy.

3M Dual Cartridge Respirator - Large Review

3M Dual Cartridge Respirator - LargeI bought the 3M Half Face Respirator as part of a one-time project. I had to spray some 2-part, cyanoacrylate paint on a classic motorcycle I was restoring and had no respirator with the necessary 'organics filter.'

If you smell cyano fumes while you're painting, you're already permanently injured. The kidneys filter the particles and the pollutants stay there; they are not excreted. This one claimed to keep the fumes out, was under $20, and looked like it would do the job.

It did; I never got so much as a WHIFF of fumes while painting. The mask was comfortable, let me breathe easily, and fit very, very well.

I'd buy another one if I needed to do another project like this, although the mask can be safely stored in its (included) zip bag for up to a year after the bag is initially opened.

A simple, inexpensive product that works. What more can you ask?

Motive Products Custom Ford Power Bleeder(0106) Ford 2 Tab Review

Motive Products Custom Ford Power Bleeder(0106) Ford 2 TabI bought this bleeder after I developed air in my ABS unit after replacing a brake line.Prior to buying this power bleeder, I tried bleeding the brake fluid the traditional way and utilizing a mityvac pump neither had much success.Buying this unit was my last ditch effort before I took it into a dealer that had the specialized software/equipment they use $$$..

The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is because it did not come with any instructions.Whether that is standard or just a fluke I don't know.I went to the companies website (www.motive.com) and found a demo link on their home page which was very helpful.As far as the performance of the unit I would give it six stars since it saved me a trip to the mechanic shop.I have recommended this several times since I fixed my truck..

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire Inflator Review

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty Tire InflatorI'm writing this review because the Amazon description doesn't inform you that you NEED 15 amps to power the device as clearly stated in the owner's manual. Unfortunately, I didn't know this before purchase so when I plugged it into my Honda Pilot which only supplies 10 amps, it didn't work. I called Slime customer service who confirmed that all their products require 15 amps.

Check your car owner's manual to make sure your power socket supplies 15 amps!

I'm giving it 5 stars because the device itself looks very high quality with a nice storage case. Slime customer service was also speedy and helpful. Too bad the Amazon item description was inadequate.

UPDATE: I have since bought the Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator which works great with my car.

Saris Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Racks Review

Saris Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount RacksAim was to transport my bike 15 miles to the trail using Lexus RX330 or Mitsubishi Eclipse. A hitch and bike holder was an expensive option, while a roof rack was difficult for me to load the bike and not practical. Out of all bike trunk racks that I was able to review, only Saris Bones 805 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack would fit my SUV and Eclipse using Hatch Huggers. Plus it's elegant design and recycled material. Delivery was prompt as usual from Amazon.com. Installed product in 15 minutes alone after reviewing the product video on web site as suggested by reviewer. The rack and Hatch Huggers proved to be sturdy and stable. I am very happy with the outcome and highly recommend it.

BELT TOOL SERPENTINE AND ACCESSORIES Review

BELT TOOL SERPENTINE AND ACCESSORIESFirst, as of July 23, 2007) the picture in Amazon.com is very incorrect.It is showing a single-piece tool that is not related to working with a serpentine belt tensioner as described here.Do a web-search for Lisle 57900, and you will find other sources that show the main bar (nothing like the tool shown), two extension bars, and six socket or drive attachments.

That much said, I was stumped with this repair procedure without a tool like this.For my Chevy Cavalier, (transverse-mount 2.2L engine), there's no room to get a regular 3/8" socket driver onto the tensioner. There's about 1 inch of space from the surface of the tensioner to the tire well.And it's tight just to get down to it. Although this 57900 does not have a ratchet head (like the Blue Line Snap-on version), the multi-position extension bars should make this job possible, and manageable.

I was in a hurry, so I ordered it from a different source.If I had a spare few days, I would have contacted the seller to either get the picture corrected, or the description corrected. the 57900 is a fine tool, but who knows what you will get, from this Amazon ad. Lisle 57900 Serpentine Belt Tool

Sylvania 9005SU SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlights, Pack of 2 Bulbs Review

Sylvania 9005SU SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlights, Pack of 2 BulbsMy daughter was complaining that she was having a difficult time seeing any distance while driving at night.She goes away to college, and the school is located in a very rural area.Many of the roads she drives on have no street lighting.I installed the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras in her car, and she was amazed at how much farther down the road she can now see.In fact I was so impressed that I went out and purchased a pair of Sylvania Silverstar sealed beam headlights for my work van.What a difference bright white lighting makes when it comes to driving at night.This product is awesome.

Fram PH4967 Extra Guard Passenger Car Spin-On Oil Filter Review

Fram PH4967 Extra Guard Passenger Car Spin-On Oil FilterSince I got my first car, Fram has always been the oil filter brand I would reach for. The PH8A was the standard ford oil filter for years, And I went through plenty of them. My mom has owned a 1992 toyota corrola and a 2001 corrola, and this is the standard 4 cilinder engine filter, even for the camary. I went through many of these when she would drive 80+ miles a day to work.Always reliable and never a leak, very consistent. It was a nice improvement whe they added the grip end to these as well, very hand when you have oil on your hand.

Time-Sert M10x1.25 Metric Insert Kit w/(5) 16.2mm Length Inserts Review

Time-Sert M10x1.25 Metric Insert Kit w/(5) 16.2mm Length InsertsI stripped thread for the idler pulley for timing belt.
I looked into helicoil option, but for the same price it didn't look so reliable.
Kit worked excellent for me. Took me about 30 mins to fix the thread. Biggest problem was to drill. I used electric drill and it was getting stuck, so I had to remove it and start again multiple times. Look at the several videos at [...], they are pretty good.

Homier - New HDC 750 LB Capacity Shop Engine / Motor Stand Review

Homier - New HDC 750 LB Capacity Shop Engine / Motor StandI had borrowed an engine stand from a friend to work on my sprots car engine but it was so big it took up half the garage! I decided to see if I could buy a smaller one that would still do the job. This one fit the bill exactly. It was small and relatively light and quite inexpensive. The only problem I encountered was that the box it came in had worn through in the shipping and some of the bolts were missing. Since I have a fine stock of bolts this was no big problem to overcome.

XADO Gel Revitalizant for Hydraulics Review

XADO Gel Revitalizant for HydraulicsI used this in the automatic transmission of my 1996 Honda Prelude as per the recommendation of this seller. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. The car was shifting poorly, lurching and hesitating, not surprising given the 160K miles and lack of maintainance of the previous owner, but it immediately shifted almost perfectly as soon as I drove it after "Xadoing" it.
I was told to use two tubes but only used one.
The gel did not mix well with the ATF in the bottle so... believe it or not... I nuked a small amount in my microwave oven (for one minute) and added it into the bottle with the Xado gel which solved that little challenge.
I highly recommend this.

Steck Manufacturing 21835 Door Hinge "Pin Popper" Review

Steck Manufacturing 21835 Door Hinge 'Pin Popper'This tool pops the pins out with no hassles even helps put the pins back in. I would not attempt to remove the doors without this tool. There is a small clip on the pin that holds it in place. You either break off the tabs OR remove the clip and the pin pops out. The tool almost holds itself on the pin to ease the fight of hitting it with a hammer and keeping it centered. I would suggest this tool to anyone who wants to work on a GMC/Chevy that has these pins.
