dewwarn says "needed longer tacks for quilting." about Upholstery Nails

dewwarn — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:59:51 GMT

I needed longer tacks for quilting, these work perfectly and are strong enough to go thru several layers of batting and material. No more tacks bending or popping off the quilt frame.

drefazio says "AMAZING" about National V2001 2-1/2 Hook & Eye Sb

drefazio — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:53:39 GMT

By far the most AMAZING piece of hardware I have ever purchased. I'm not kidding. It's beauty and ergonomic design make this the PREMIERE hook and eye latch on the market. There is no comparison. This hook EASILY secures a door in my house. It would not prohibit an intruder from kicking a door in - BUT, a modest wind draft is NO MATCH for this hook. If I had any other doors which needed to be secured by a hook & eye latch so a breeze could come into my house, I would use this one EVERY TIME if there was no door stop around. Simply OUTSTANDING. FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS.

dewapepsi says "Great Neck 9 pc. carabiner set is great for camping" about Great Neck 9 pc. Carabiner Set

dewapepsi — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:43:06 GMT

We camp alot and always find it hard to hang tarps for shade and to keep dry in the rain. Now with great necks carabiners we just strech a rope between trees and use the carabiners to hang our tarps from the rope, its alot easier and faster with great neck 9 pc. carabiner set. I looked everywhere and just 1 carabiner was $1.50 or more. I found this Great Neck 9 pc set at Sears for just under $5.00. There are several different sizes in the set so if you need a certain size for something you have that covered too.

prosparky says "Craftsman Tools" about Craftsman 68469 9/16&#34 Brad Nail - Clear

prosparky — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:05:49 GMT

I purchased these brads for a craftsman staple gun that I had bought four or five years ago and used once. Unfortunately, the staple gun wouldn't work and when I tried to return it for an exchange they told me they wouldn't take it back, it's no longer warranteed. I'm a master electrician professional and I will never buy a craftsman product again....

mrclassicman says "Great assortment to have around" about The Hillman Group Fasteners Household Kits

mrclassicman — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:21:36 GMT

The Honey-Do list just doesn't get done if you have to run out every time you need to hang something like a picture or a shelf. Make points with the misses by finishing fast and as an added benefit get back to the game before half time ends! All kidding aside this assortment can save time and effort in tracking down the right anchor and screw. As a Boy Scout I was trained to be prepared, and this was a good start!

Acetominophen says "Smart looking hook and rail 27" coat rack." about Bulldog Coat and Hat Rack Black Rail with Satin Nickel Hooks

Acetominophen — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 16:27:22 GMT

The metal pegs are screwed into the wood from the back side and they have a small metal peg so they do not move. The wood appears to be solid. The black screws are metal and the same colour as the wood. 4 grey plastic anchors come as well in a little bag which are in a small box at one end of the box holding the rack. There are four pre-drilled holes. To install into a masonry wall Get a level and draw a straight line were you want to place it. With one of the screws in the rack all the way in mark hole on wall ON THE STRAIGHT LINE and screw in, then put another screw in another hole to mark wall and screw in. Do the other two. Remove rack. With masonry drill bit, drill holes for anchors were you made hole with screws. Tap with hammer to be flush with the wall. Do not put anchors if you hit a wood stud. Now place rack back and thread screws so they enter the anchors carefully. When you've seen they've all threaded well into the anchors tighten them....

Need some larger stock pots? These are great and you get so many for the price. Glad we bought this item for my hubby's new hobby, beer brewing!

Great assortment of screw sizes. However, it could use more anchors in the set....

VeritInMe says "Command hooks work wonders on sensitive walls!" about 3M Command Traditional Hook, Large, 1 kit

VeritInMe — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:40:23 GMT

In my dorm room, we have ugly, matte painted walls. And there's a serious lack of hooks. Unfortunately, the matte walls mean that we have to be very careful how we put up hooks--and with four girls in the room, we need those hooks! Command hooks to the rescue! These things go on easily--seriously, it took two of us maybe three minutes to get six hooks on the wall, and that included opening the package, reading the directions, and then throwing the packaging away--and come off without leaving any marks on the walls. No sticky spots, no pulled-up paint, and no greasy remains to show that we've been modifying the room we were given. I would recommend these babies in a HEARTBEAT!

PaPaPete says "They don't sell them in Brainerd, MN" about Craftsman 68467 1/2&#34 Brad Nails - Clear

PaPaPete — Fri, 21 May 2010 15:06:26 GMT

I guess I have to write a review on staples so I can win a $2500 gift card. Because that's all I got. Just Staples. Already have the staple gun. Just needed staples. The Sears store in Brainerd doesn't carry staples. Had to drive to St. Clould just to buy staples. Now they want me to write a review on these particular staples. So, here it is. Did I find them? Not in Brainerd, in St. Cloud. Did they work? Yes. Would I recommend these staples to a friend? Sure, but that friend has to drive to St. Cloud.

Damaia says "I use Command Strips for everything" about 3M Command Utensil Hook with Strips - 3 Hooks & 4 Strips

Damaia — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:40:53 GMT

I live in an apartment, and I'm obsessed about making sure I don't damage anything. I saw the Command Strips and decided to give them a try. Initially I just started with the posters. You have to make sure you read the directions and attach the right side to the wall. Now I use them for pot holders, measuring cups, and all the little things that just work better stored out of a drawer. I even bought the ten dollar brushed nickel hook for my keys. I've hung my huge bundle of key chains on that hook, my boyfriend's keys, and my full dice bag (which weighs around two or three pounds) on the hook and it hasn't budged. I had that hook up in my last apartment and it came off the wall clean. When used properly, these hooks really are an affordable answer to keep from blemishing the walls. I've used them for years and I intend to keep using them.

Archie1 says "If you need to clamp to pieces of metal together permanently." about Craftsman Rivets

Archie1 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:21:01 GMT

If you need to clamp to pieces of metal together permanently use Craftsman aluminum or steel rivets. On my latest project I choose to use rivets instead of bolts, which allowed me to complete the project without fumbling with nuts and split washers. Measure the thickness of your metal clamped together to get the correct lenght of rivet. I picked up some rivet washers, too.

SearsPerson101 says "Hooks not Strong, Hard to Attach" about 3M Command Utensil Hook with Strips - 3 Hooks & 4 Strips

SearsPerson101 — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 23:36:58 GMT

I bought these hooks to hold up something as simple as a hat. One adhesive strip wouldn't stay on the wall! One fell when I tried to attach it. Two went on crooked and when i tried to take them off they tore! I ended up wasting a lot of money on cheap hooks that didn't work! :-(

Anonymous says "1 star" about Command Picture Hanging Strips, Medium, 3 sets

sears-feed — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:00:56 GMT

I bought these trying to avoid holes in my new walls. I followed the directions exactly as listed on the package. I was hanging framed 8x10 photos. Some of the framed pictures fell off the wall within hours and one lasted a couple of weeks. The adhesive just randomly peels off the wall and the picture comes crashing to the floor. Definitely would not reccommend....
