Good iPod Alternative

Fri, 20 Aug 2004 19:07:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - If you're looking for a hard drive-based MP3 player,and don't own a Mac and/or Firewire,than this is probably the machine for you. Realise,however,that this does have a spinning hard drive. If you're looking for something to take jogging,or some other...

It's About Time Mr Leatherman

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 15:26:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - The Pulse is the first tool from Leatherman that won't get relegated to my gadget drawer. Leatherman has finally updated their design to the point where its function lives up to the legend.

For those of you familiar with...

Voted Off My Keychain

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 09:20:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - Well,after only two months,my Leatherman Micra has been voted off my 'keychain' (a splitring w/a Victorinox Classic,a Sebertech M4,a white Photon II,and one door key). It just couldn't make the cut.

When I first bought it I was impressed...

My First

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 12:56:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - The Bucktool was my first multitool. I chose it because of the Buck name;they make seriously good knives,I figured they'd make a great multitool. I was right.

The Bucktool is unique in the way it opens and the design of the handles. It opens...

M4: Best Mini Tool

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 15:32:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - Want to carry a mutlitool,but don't want to weigh your pockets down? Or you don't wear a belt to put a sheath on? No probs,all you need is a keychain and you can carry one of SeberTech's line of minitools.

The M4 is a fully-featured tool with...

Good Value Laptop

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 09:57:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - I had been in the market for a new computer,and after receiving orders to Korea,decided to get a laptop. After some comparison shopping,I settled on the XL-106 as the best compromise between price and features.

The 13" screen gives you a...

Best Value in Player/Recorder

Thu, 24 Aug 2000 13:49:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - I've had my 702 for a year now,and have zero complaints. I had originally purchased a Sony home deck/player bundle and wanted a portable recorder as well. After finding the 702 to be the cheapest,I decided to go with it since I've always had good luck...

There Can Be Only One

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 15:36:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - This is it folks,the Cadillac of multitools. It's big,it's heavy,and it's loaded with options. If you're only going to own one multitool,then this is the one.

First let's talk design. Unlike Leathermans,all the tools can be accessed from...

Desk Gadget

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 15:01:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - The Multi-Lite isn't what I'd call a real mutiltool,but it does make a nice gadget to keep in your desk drawer. It's small and light;you could carry it in your pocket easily. All the tools lock in place and the lock is easy to operate. The scissors are...

Also Ran

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - Lots of people rave about Gerber tools,but quite frankly,you can do better. While they're not junk,they tend to pale in comparison to their rivals. The snap-out pliers are fun to play with,and they are the quickest to deploy,but they also tend to have...

Age Showing

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 14:12:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - When they first came out,Leathermans set the standard. Now their age is starting to show when compared to other tools' features. The PST II has a good selection of tools(the diamond coated file is a nice touch) and I still think Leathermans have the...

Why oh why?

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 13:23:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dynaryder - For the life of me I can't understand why people put up with all the problems associated with Buell ownership. I've owned two Buells;a '95 S2 Thunderbolt,and a '96 S1 Lightning. Both were problem children. The S2's fairing fell off while I was riding...
