Torin T83360 3 Ton Hydraulic Trolley Jack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If there is zero star, I would give zero for this vendor/ product/Amazon customer service. I bought this combo from Northern Tool & Equipment, an Amazon market seller, in January. When it arrived, I noticed the base rails on both stands are bended, they might get damaged during shipping as there is no additional cushion added other than the original manufacture packing. The original packing only has a few cardboards inside trying to secure the devices in position, however, it barely works to support the heavy stuff. In terms of the jack, after jacking up my Audi A4 a few times, the jack ceased working last week, looks like it develops a leak and can't jack up a compact car anymore. Since Amazon claims that the A-Z policy can guarantee your money back if something goes wrong, I complained the problem to Amazon, however, when you really come to the point, you start realizing the A-Z policy is just a piece of crap. Amazon simply push you out and ask you to contact the seller to resolve the issue. The seller only offers replacement, for a "quality" stuff like this, I doubt anyone would like to risk his life giving them a second chance. I talked to Amazon that I need to return it, but Amazon keeps saying if the replacement doesn't work out, we will file a claim on behalf of you. What happens if the jack stand can't hold up at the second time? Be aware of the Amazon market seller, be ware of the Amazon customer of service. Very bad online buying experience.

Briggs & Stratton 40248 7000-Watt PowerNow Dual Mode Air Cooled Home Standby Generator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this generator in August of 2008. I live in an area (upstate NY) where we lose power frequently. The item arrived and was delivered to my back yard in perfect working order.
We recently had a very bad ice storm in the Northeast and we lost power for 3 days. The generator worked perfectly running my sump pump, hot water heater (gas, direct vent), furnace, fridge (2) and several lights. I had to run power cords from outside rather than use the NEMA power cord to a manual transfer switch I had installed before the generator was delivered (more on that later). I ran the house for 10-12 hours on the 2 20lb propane tanks before I needed to change them out, which was to me, excellent. The generator is very quiet, we could barely hear it in the house. I have it installed behind my garage facing downwind of the house.
Okay, the transfer switch issue. While the manual, Briggs & Stratton web site, Briggs & Stratton FAQ page does not specifically state this, you MUST purchase the B&S manual transfer switch PERIOD! The model number is Briggs & Stratton 71014 - PowerNow Generator Transfer Kit (10 Circuits). This is the only transfer switch that works with the GFCI breaker installed in the generator. I had 3 electricians (friends of mine) look at the gen-tran 30 amp transfer switch wiring that was installed in my house and it is NOT a switching neutral switch.
Confused? I was too until I got on the phone with a very nice B&S technician who told me to only use their switch. I was dissapointed as I then needed to shell out another $400.00 but now it's working fine. I did let B&S know that they should be specific about the fact that only their switch is compatible with these types of generators. It is because of this fact that I only rated it 4 stars.
All in all that one storm alone made this purchase worth every penny. It also kept the house in harmony (if you know what I mean).
I would heartly recommend this generator to anyone who is looking for a well built powerful and quiet standby generator. Just make sure you buy the 71014 - PowerNow Generator Transfer Kit from B&S

Generac QuietSource Series QT02516 25,000 Watt Liquid Cooled Propane/Natural Gas Powered Home Automatic Standby Generator (CARB Compliant) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had it for 4-5 years. Power went out during Ike. Generator was on for more than a week and suddenly stopped. It was low on oil.
As soon as I added oil, it started again (a little to soon, I got splattered) I change to oil and filters myself. I save about $200 of the $250 charge from Generac.

Magna 3000 (2600 Watt) Portable Inverter Generator - New 2010 4th generation, Quite, Lightweight, Portable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recieved the generator in a timely and everything was in good shape. The manual was fun to read with the descriptions appearing to be computer translated from Chinese. The generator feels a little tight when starting but a few pumps to the primer bulb seemed to do the trick and it started right up. I used it the first weekend I got it to power my rv, especially the AC unit. It would start the AC if everything else is turned off at the breaker panel and my AC unit was vented for "waterfall". (My deep cycle battery was very low and the converter had to be turned off.) I ran it HARD for two days in a Tennessee field, temps 96 degrees F and 60% humidity, after starting the AC I turned the breakers back on to everything but the microwave (I didn't want to risk it or produce any heat inside the RV). I ran it 6-8 hours a day for two days with no problems. Make sure you don't push the choke handle back too far, it will get stuck behind the rear cover.
It used about 50cc of oil during tha first weekend. this was enough to make it more sensitive to it's being out of level causing the low oil condition to shut it off. ALWAYS BRING THE SPECIAL OIL DISPENER WITH YOU!
The unit ran well during the weekend and if the AC was to finally shutdown, always after dark, we could watch tv and dvd player with plenty of 12 volts items (3 lights, 2 fans, stereo playing to the outside) and the generator would idle down very low and make very little sound.

Yamaha YG2800i 2,800 Watt 171cc OHV 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I opened the box and saw this little generator, I thought I was in trouble. But this 2800 watt Yamaha is the new inverter model. Not sure what that means, but it is very light weight but really puts out the juice. We ran 2 screwguns, 2 - 500 watt quartz lights and our radio and this Yamaha barely ran above idle. It weighs half of what our old junker weighs, runs 4 to 5 times longer on a gallon of gas and purrs quiet as a kitten. We have been using this wonderful generator for over a year with no problems at all. It's Yamaha inverter generators for our crews from now on.

Red Line 30204 High Temp Atf Quart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I realize that people get religious about their oil. I have had tremendous experiences with Red Line products. Not to say there aren't good oils or fluids out there, but my personal experience is that my high horsepower, high torque BMWs that run in 100F degree + weather in Arizona five months a year all have had excellent protection from my Redline Oil, tranny, diff fluid and Water Wetter products.
