Review for Thermos originals Multi Purpose food and drink Stainless Steel Flask 1.2L:
Best buy
This is the best flask that i have bought, mainly because it is'nt as fragile, there being no glass inner to break. Also, it holds a decent amount of liquid and keeps it cold or hot for a decent amount of time.3
Review for Spray Paint - Smooth Signal Black:
I only ended up using one case for the whole inside and theres a bit left over. The paint dries very fast and was easy to spray on. This isnt the darkest black there is but it's good none the less. Very pleased. :)

Review for 50KG FOLDING LIGHTWEIGHT HAND SACK TRUCK TROLLEY BARROW:
Lightweight Folding Sack Barrow
We keep one in the boot of the car. It has proved to be very useful on many occasions, convenient to stow and easy to extend for use. The plastic wheels are not however up to the job, one collapsed when carying 2 x 25 kilo bags of shingle and I have not been able to find a replacement wheel.

Review for FreeLogix - 10 Piece Watch Tool Set (Watch link remover adjuster tools):
I bought this together with the 3 piece watch tool kit. Great tools, well made & do the job. (2 watches, three links removed, 20 minutes!) Only gave 3 stars because of the packaging. Where are we supposed to store the tiny tools?! Surely not in the plastic wrapper it arrived in! otherwise i'd have given stars.

Great tools
I buy watches a lot & am always paying a Jeweler to adjust the straps to fit my wrist. The final straw came when I bought a Carbon watch from next, which included in the box, a wrist tape measure & fill in return to sender form for watch strap adjustment that would cost me £15 & a two week wait!I bought this together with the 3 piece watch tool kit.

Review for UniRoss Universal 320 Charger:
This charges at a rate of 320mA, versus 120mA for the slower one. Means a set of 2500mA nimh AA's will take about 8 hours (if charging from flat) and 1300mA nimh AA's about 4 hours again from flat.
Worth spending a little more on this for the faster charge times.
I personally don't use C & D cells, but if you do it is very slow indeed (5,000mA C/D nimh around 15.5 hours) and the highest capacity ones available (10000mA C/D nimh) over 31 hours!
OK for AAA/AA's which I think are most common, but as for C/D and PP3 (9V), you would possibly want to buy something faster.

Review for LEATHERMAN Micra Multi-Tool:
Quality and class
The most outstanding aspect of this little device is its overall build quality and feel. It has that satisfying 'click and snap' sound when opening and closing, and everything on it works extremely well. It is smaller than a modern folding car key, and it weighs only a little more. A lovely object.the TOP 10 Garden Tools, the TOP 10 Power Tools, the TOP 10 Grass Trimmers, the TOP 10 Hedge Trimmers, the TOP 10 Ladders, the TOP 10 Storage, the TOP 10 Hardware, the TOP 10 Safety, the TOP 10 Hand Tools, the TOP 10 Shredders, the TOP 10 Lawn Mowers, the TOP 10 Garden Vacuums, the TOP 10 Chain Saws

used properly does a very good job
Flymo Garden Vac 2500 Turbo My house is surrounded by trees, a gravelled drive and slate surrounding the house. All garden vacs will struggle with wet leaves but this Flymo has been really good. It is not too heavy and has a body strap to help balance the weight. Using the blow function I BLOW the leaves down the gravel into a large pile and then either vacuum them up or load into the wheelie bin. The blowing function also dries the wet leaves on the slate to either blow or vacuum up. This garden vac saves me so much time and effort. It is no fun brushing or raking on gravel and this eliminates that chore. Also, as a woman, I find it easily manageable. When using the vacuum/blower just experiment with the angle to get the best results.
