Review: HP Pavilion G60-230US, Great laptop

Great laptop
I don’t know about the other reviewer’s experience, but I can say that I love everything about this computer. The screen is bright and the colors are vivid. I have listened to other laptop speakers, and these sound very good. The keyboard is wonderful to type on. I had to uninstall some bloatware, but [...]

Review: Black & Decker VEC010BD, Fine jump starter. Check..

Fine jump starter. Check amperage needed for other uses.
This is a nice unit for starting cars, as noted below. But it may be too small for some other 12-volt applications. The lighter-socket outlet will shut off if you exceed 5 amps of continuous draw. At 12 volts, that would be 60 watts, and as luck [...]

Review: Black & Decker PS130, Waste of Money

Waste of Money
The PS130’s are an inferior battery. Mine died a sudden death after three years of casual service. Not impressive. Another review suggested the DeWalt DC9071. It has the same contact as the PS130. It charges fine with a B&D charger and works with the 12volt drill/driver. In [...]

Review: Schumacher SEM-1562A 1.5, Great maintainer

Great maintainer
After having the battery on my “summer only” convertible go
flat last winter I decided to invest in a battery maintainer.
The Schumacher SEM-1652A was the best compromise of price (around
$40 with shipping), features (a normal charging rate, and a
lower maintaining rate, with overcharge protection and indicator
lights), and small size (fits easily under the hood by [...]

Review: Makita BL1830 18-Volt, Poor Battery LIfe

Poor Battery LIfe
I bought this 18 volt LXT drive just over a year ago. It’s light weight and charge life is great. It drives screws like nothing I’ve ever seen! A 3″ drywall screw can be drive clear through a 2X4. Unfortunately, there’s a serious problem. I’ve now purchased four [...]

Review: Acer Aspire AS1410-2285, Effective for mobile uses,..

Effective for mobile uses, with some reservations
The Acer 1410 with Intel dual-core SU2300 and Windows 7 is a useful, general purpose mini-notebook. It is small and light enough to be carried around all the time, yet large and fast enough to do most ordinary work. Word processing, spreadsheets, e-mail and Web browsing are all responsive, [...]
