We have had this Panasonic cordless phone for a couple of years now, and it has never had any problems. You get two cordless handset with this model, and additional handsets can be purchased separately.  Each handset has a re-chargeable Ni-MH Battery. It takes about 6 hrs. to re-charge a completely dead battery. The phone automatically recharges every time I place the handset back in it...

I have had this Inversion Table for several years now, and It works great for me!  I have had a bad back for years and nothing the doctor did for me really worked.  They always wanted to do surgery and I didn't want to go that route, so when I heard about the Teeter Inversion Table, I figured it couldn't hurt to try it.  I am so glad I did.  It gives me relief in no ...

We had this pressure washer for over 5 years and had very good service from it.  Unfortunately, the engine was just recently ruined because my son forgot to check the oil and burned up the engine.  So word of advice, always make sure you keep your power washer well maintained. This Excell Power Washer has a 5.0 Briggs & Stratton engine with 1750 PSI with a usage of 2 GPM (gallons ...

We bought this combo DVD/VCR player because we still have a lot of movies on VHS and wanted to still be able to use them without having two different players on top of the TV.  We have had this a couple of years and have used it a lot and it is still working as good as new.  In addition to playing VHS tapes we are also able to play DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, MP3 CD, and JPEG image ...

We bought this used.  It had only around 40 hours on it when we bought it.  It is a real workhorse around the yard.  We live on 2 acres and my wife and I used to have to do a lot of work around the yard and garden with either a wheelbarrow or a small dump trailer on the back of our mower.  I can't tell you how much easier this has made things.  We use this for ...

I bought this yearly desk calendar at Office Max for only $2.99!  That is a great bargain, as most places sell these type of calendar's for way more.I have a home office and I like to have a calendar that is easy to see and in front of me at all times, so this fits the bill.  It is very simple and plain, but I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just enough space to write some ...

I bought this Little Tykes Basketball Set for my three year old grandson.  He loves playing basketball and this one is the perfect size for him.  Not only is the hoop height adjustable to six different settings, but the basketball that comes with it is also just his size. We filled the base with water, but it would probably be more stable if we would fill it with sand.I like the sturd...

We like to have a lot of potted plants on our deck in the summer.  These embossed foam planters we found at Big Lots are perfect.  They look just like real clay or ceramic pots, but they are really made out of a foam material and painted to look like the real thing.The reason I like these better than the real thing is that they are so lightweight, especially compared to clay pots.&nbs...

I'm in the construction trades and one of my most useful tools is my ProjectCalc.  This calculator makes it easy for me to figure material for my jobs.  You can get this at all the popular home improvement stores, like Lowe's and Home Depot. Not only does it work as a standard calculator, but I can also calculate the amount of material I need in all these materials: Bricks &am...

We have a Marathon Fleet Card for our dump truck business.  We picked the Marathon card due to a unique feature in which the cards are linked to each vehicle you own and not an individual person. You can have up to 9,999 cards per account at no charge. This makes it possible for us to keep track of the fuel usage for each vehicle and if we change drivers the card can be used by anyone driv...

When we first started our business, we decided we would need a line of credit to cover any gaps in our income.  When you work in the construction business, it can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days for a contractor to pay you.  This leaves you with times that you may not see a check for a couple of months, and the bills don't wait! We already had our business checking account with N...

My wife and I have given this Ryobi Cordless Drill a workout over the last few years with many remodeling jobs, and it is still going strong.  We bought it at Home Depot for around $90.  The drill came with 2 battery packs, a 1-hr. charger, 2 screwdriver bits and a plastic carrying case. This is a very heavy-duty piece of equipment and is not a lightweight.  I am a big guy and do...
