Briggs & Stratton 030210 Elite Series Vanguard OHV Portable Generator Review

Briggs and Stratton 030210 Elite Series Vanguard OHV Portable Generator

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just recieved my new generator today. Amazon delivery was amazing. The truck line called. backed up to my door at my convienience, and me and the driver had it off the truck in less than 5 minutes. Keep in mind this is a 2 person job. Adding to the plus for the delivery is that it was absolutly free.
It took me a total of 10 minutes to install the wheels,support bracket, attach the battery cable(yes it does come with the battery installed),fill with the supplied oil and put in some gas. One little choke and the unit fired off a lot sooner than I anticipated. I ran some electrical power tools to make sure the unit was putting out power and they all worked flawlessly. I searched far and wide untill I settled on this unit. The Vangaurd engine ( built by mitsubishi according to The Briggs rep I talked to) was the major selling point. It is quieter than many larger generators and can ramp up to a 13500 watt surge. Im not hoping for a power outage , but I sure would like to put this baby to the test. I might just throw my transfer switch tomorrow and see what it can do. Very happy at this point

M-V Automatic Transmission Fluid Supplement by LUBEGARD (10 oz.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is slightly misunderstood most consumers (including me at one time!) Simply put, you don't have to buy expensive ATF's from the dealer any more. This company (LUBEGARD) sells what's known as automatic transmission conversion products. The LUBEGARD product allows you to buy regular, inexpensive DEXRON/MERCON fluid, and add a bottle of LUBEGARD to transform the inexpensive DEXRON MERCON to the performance requirements of any ATF (there are several different LUBEGARD products, depending on your car). For instance, instead of buying MERCON V ATF for mucho $$$, you buy regular DEXRON at $1.50 quart and addejust one bottle of LUBEGARD and IT WORKS GREAT! It is very highly recommended by transmission shops in my area.

Torin Aluminum Race Jack with Single Piston Pump - 1 1/2-Ton, Model# T8150121 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this from a well known online tool shop during a good sale. I have a lowered car and using my standard Sears jack requires removing part of the front valence followed by a musical chairs dance of alternating jack and jackstands to get all four wheels off the ground.
This "race jack" did away with most of that, as it has a hefty handle, pumps up quickly, and could be slipped under the car from almost any direction. It made getting under the car much easier.
I enjoyed use of this jack for about 1 year, until one day while lying on the floor of my garage, the jack started to slowly give out before I had my jackstands in place. I slid away from the car and started pumping again, but there was hydraulic fluid leaking from somewhere on the jack and in no time I had a puddle.
So now I'm back to my cumbersome but reliable Sears jack, which has given me many years of service for the tiny investment I made, but I miss the low profile, easy to use features of my broken Torin. I tried to contact the manufacturer, but nobody answered the phone (I called during business hours) and I have not been able to identify a source for rebuild kits. At this point I don't want to put any money into it, so I imagine I'll spend money on a good, quality jack and send this one to the recyclers.

Milwaukee 4970-24 7000-Watt Honda 13 HP 390cc Portable Generator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My dad bought this unit during Hurricane Ike. It powered virtually everything he needed, refrigerators, driers, dishwashers, microwaves, lights, fans, et cetera. He shared power with his neighbors as well. Now, he couldn't run everything all at once, but he could run even larger items on there own.
He ran the thing for 2 weeks+, 24hours a day, with very few breaks!!! Nough said. Not many other generators could have operated in the above type of environment.

Milwaukee's heavy-duty 4970-24 gas-powered generator is designed to deliver reliable power, maximum durability, and unmatched performance to the jobsite. Powered by a legendary Honda GX OHV (390cc) commercial grade engine with overhead valve, electronic ignition and low oil alert system, the 4970-24 delivers 7,000 watts (maximum AC output) of reliable power. For optimal tool starting and voltage regulation, the 4970-24 is equipped with a premium brushed alternator with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and a full-time, max power feature which automatically delivers maximum power to all outlets (120v duplex and/or 240v Twist-Locking). This exclusive, hassle-free feature eliminates the risk of costly equipment or generator damage when the correct voltage is not selected by the user, a necessity on many competing generators. The control panel of the 4970-24 features an optimal mix of seven 120v and/or 240v duplex and Twist-Locking power receptacles, providing more power solutions for more tools. For complete personal protection, the entire generator is protected by a central ground fault circuit interrupter system, unlike other competitors with G.F.C.I. protection only on the 120v duplex outlets. Each circuit is also protected by a dedicated, UL-approved (UL489) branch-rated circuit breaker to ensure consistent, reliable power cut-off independent of other circuits during overload situations.

Briggs & Stratton 30208 4,800-Watt 6.5 HP Portable Generator Review

Briggs and Stratton 30208 4,800-Watt 6.5 HP Portable Generator

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a basic no frill generator. Just what I needed to run my sump pump and fridge/freezer. Assembly took about 20 min. Put on the wheels, handle and front foot. Added gas and oil, and it started in one pull. This unit puts out 29 amps at 120 volts. More than enough to power what I need in an emergency. It is a little loud, but at $460 who can complain? I switched to synthetic oil after break in to help starting in cold weather as recomended in the manual.This is a very nice, well made, simple to use generator.

U281 CAN VW/AUDI Memo Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The U281 is a very simple CAN OBD2 code reader/eraser for Audi and VW cars. That is all it does - read the codes and clear them.
The Good:
1: It works - it can read the code (although not all apparently) and
2: It can erase them, turning the "Check Engine" light off.
The Bad:
1: It hangs. A lot.
2: It doesn't seem very good at getting the codes; the first time it claimed there weren't any, and the second time (30 seconds later) it only saw one.
3: You need to use the manual reference to look up codes, but...
4: The manual is incomplete. I used it on my 2003 Audi A4, which I bought in October 2002. I received this unit yesterday, Sept 2009. And yet it didn't have the code in the manual that I received. Seven years out-of-date? I did find the code online.
5: It can't set any of the other Audi parameters (radio, seat, climate, etc.) like more expensive units can.
Don't let the size of the "Bad" scare you away. You buy this to check that the Check Engine light is telling you something you don't care about and to turn it off for far less than the dealership would. It does do that adequately, and far more economically than any other choice.
Summary:
This is the cheapest way to quickly check the validity of the Check Engine light and turn it off. It's definitely worth the cost, especially since a more complete unit costs more than three times as much.
