Werner Type 1A Duty Rating Telescoping Multi Ladder

03-Jan-09

Home Furniture

The new MT series from Werner combines the durability of a heavy duty type 1A, 300 pound duty rating with true versatility. A single ladder can be easily converted to a double sided stepladder of variable heights or an adjustable extension ladder. When set up as a stepladder the duty rating of 300 pounds is per side to allow two people on the ladder at the same time. Height is adjusted quickly with spring loaded “J” Locks. Steps are double riveted and the side rails are smooth and curved for comfort. Included at no additional charge with each ladder is a set of hinges to allow the ladder to be separated and set up as two stepladders, a plank can be suspended between the two ladders to create scaffolding. A storage case is also included for the hinge set.

By Honest Opinion - hacker. (San Carlos, Ca United States):

$199 at Amazon is a steal for this ladder. One thing that you can’t tell from the spec’s is how stable and safe it feels. I gave it five stars because of the value for money, but I do have a one star niggle - it’s a bit heavy. I’m 6′2″ and 225lb, and moving it around fully extended is an effort. Maybe that’s just me getting old, so five stars it is…

02-Jan-09

Home Furniture

The Racor gravity bike rack securely stores two bikes in a compact space and is entirely freestanding for easy setup. The rack is constructed with an epoxy-coated black finish built to endure years of heavy use. A vinyl coating protects bikes and floors from scuffing. Independent adjustment arms provide level bike storage. An optional mounting bolt is provided for wall attachment. The rack is 27 inches wide at the base, extends 21 inches from the wall and is 82 inches tall. Weighing just 20 pounds, it’s easy to move to different spots in the room.

By Grant Thompson (Bainbridge Island, WA):

THis went together in 10 minutes. In fact it took longer for me to decide where to put it than it did to put it together. I highly recommend attaching it to the wall with the screw. Mine came with a long screw (long enough to go into a stud behind 1/2″ sheetrock) and a machine bolt with a toggle anchor that would be suitable for a location without a stud.

Mine holds two bikes perfectly. Each side of the holders are seperate so you can easily have one higher than the other for bikes with slanting cross-bars.

Sit down and enjoy the uncluttered view after you’ve picked up the deck, patio or yard and stored all the toys, tools, grilling accessories away inside this deck box from Rubbermaid.

There’s no easier way to tidy up the deck, garage, shop, patio or greenhouse without eating up valuable floor space!

Reviews:

By Kathleen M. Klavon (Pville, Virginia USA):

This was exactly what we needed! We have 10 deck chairs with double pillows and everytime it was going to rain, we had no idea where we were going to put them. It was annoying taking them off and putting them in the house. So, we made the purchase - which is pricey - but will save us from having to buy new cushions next year. It will save summer money in the long term. Besides that, it also serves as extra seating in case you should need it. The deck box is really extra large, so be sure that you have an idea of where you are going to put it before you buy. We have an oversized deck, so it works for us. It is really a nice product. I am so happy that we bought this one.

By Beckahbrady’s mom (MA):

I bought this for my daughter last Christmas, she was 1 1/2 at the time. She loves to draw and color on everything. Not only does this get used daily, but when she colored all over it inside and out all I needed was a baby wipe to clean it off.

Corrugated Fireplace

22-Nov-08

Corrugated Fireplace Each

Reviews:
By JK (Dairyland):

Want a little ’60s nostalgia? This fireplace is it. Made entirely from corrugated cardboard, it comes in a box that becomes part of the fireplace. Assembly involves gingerly stacking wobbly cardboard parts, cutting a doorway where the “flames” go, then connecting the parts with plastic clips. Once put together, it can’t be moved or it will fall apart, but it is remarkably stable aside from that. Very cool, ultra retro. Not even slightly kid or dog proof. but that’s part of the fun. This was all the rage when I was about 5–everyone seemed to have a fake fireplace just like this one.

Playhut Thomas the Tank Train Engine Play Tent

10-Oct-08

Home Furniture

Young conductors will definitely be all aboard this twist and fold Thomas the Tank Engine tent. Featuring EZ Twist’s patented twist-and-fold technology, the tent sets up instantly and, when fully folded again, stores in a small included bag that’s no larger than a grocery sack. The only assembly (and it’s not even required) is to attach the inflatable steering wheel to Velcro toggles. Once the freestanding train is up, preschoolers and toddlers can place chairs inside to take them on imaginary rides around Sodor Island or dream up a slew of other creative play scenarios. Slip a sleeping bag inside the large (52″L x 26″W x 38″H) hideaway structure and kids can even extend their daytime adventures into naptime escapades.

The bright blue, red, yellow and black two-cube engine has a sunroof so little heads can look ahead for any dangers on the track, a tunnel port for crawling through, and swinging side door access for realistic play. The lightweight material and compact storage makes this tent very portable, allowing kids to take something familiar to new places — or the grandparent’s house.

Reviews:

By Louis Rios (Kansas City, MO USA):

We got this for our son at least four years ago, maybe five. Both our kids still play with it frequently. We misplaced the detachable smokestack somewhere along the way, but that’s no big deal. It’s held up suprisingly well considering the amount of playtime, and it nicely folds flat when it’s time to store it away again.
