Mightily Impressed with this Impact Driver

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:10:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I purchased this Ryobi 18V One+ tool from Home Depot as part of a special deal. If you bought certain Ryobi 18V One+ rechargeable tool kits, you could get this tool for free with a mail-in rebate. The retail value of this driver is $69. I believe the...

A nice cross training shoe

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:14:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I bought this shoe a few months ago from Sears for $35. Apparently when a shoe is advertised on the front page of their newspaper insert ads, it is a good deal-- much better than their usual $5 or $10 off type sales.This is my first pair of New...

Initially Happy But Ended Up Disappointed

Sat, 8 Aug 2009 23:59:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I bought this a month ago (7/09) from Costco for $20. Hawaii had recently passed a law limiting use of electronic gadgets while driving, except for headsets. I always try to limit my use of cell phones while driving but sometimes it is so much simpler to...

A Hot and Heavy Worklight

Sat, 8 Aug 2009 22:57:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I bought this worklight as part of a Ryobi 18V One combo kit. For those of you not familiar with the Ryobi One System, one set of rechargeable batteries runs all the tools available in the 18V system. You can save money because everytime you buy a...

A wonderful addition to my Ryobi 18V tool collection

Sat, 8 Aug 2009 08:26:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I got this as part of a combo kit. It seems that you get much more value when you purchase it this way. Compared to a corded Sawzall I believe that this Ryobi cordless saw does everything that I need it to and with greater ease. One of the...

Sat, 8 Aug 2009 07:22:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I bought this saw as part of a set in 2007 from Home Depot. I was intrigued by the concept of using one standard battery to run many different tools. Judging from the rising popularity of the Ryobi One+ 18V System, I think the concept is a success...

A winner for the hard core mochi maker!

Thu, 3 Jan 2008 07:42:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I only use this product once a year to make mochi for the new year. But it gets quite a lot of use in that short period of time. I bought it specifically because it was the largest capacity machine that was available locally--I live in Honolulu, HI. It...

A great computer monitor and acceptable TV

Sat, 9 Jun 2007 07:37:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I bought this about June '06. For my situation, this monitor/TV has solved several problems at once. To start I don't have much space where I live and so this LCD TV/monitor serves dual purposes as a TV and as a computer monitor. Previously I had a...

My first Mac and the experience is positive!

Sat, 9 Jun 2007 03:38:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - This is my first Mac and I am sufficiently happy with it that I may purchase only Macs in the future. There were several appealing attributes that this Mac possessed that prompted me to "make the switch." 1. The size of the computer itself. At...

The New, More Organized Me

Thu, 12 Jul 2001 08:59:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - After much research, I decided to buy a Palm Vx. This is no longer the latest model from Palm. It is being replaced by the m500 series. The size of these two models are basically the same. The tradeoff is less features but at a lower cost. Because this...

Sun, 24 Jun 2001 12:00:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - I was in need of a laser printer for my home based business. My old trusty HP 4P was dying. After returning a recently purchased HP Laserjet 1100xi (see my review to find out why) I decided to broaden my search to the lesser known brands.

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 08:31:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - Aloha! I have owned this label maker for almost two years, and it has come in very handy for various household labeling tasks. The PT310 uses 6 AA batteries that have not needed to be replaced yet. It is relatively easy to use. You simply type on the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - Aloha! I have gone through a full bottle of this cleaner and can say that this product does its job pretty well.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - When I first spotted this product in the stores, I wondered why they came out with this product since it appears to do the same job as Opti-Free Express. However I did notice that the price was less and so decided to try it out.

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 00:29:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - Aloha! I bought this processor about three years ago because I only had a blender and wanted to move up to a food processor. This little food processor was rated well by Consumer Reports at the time. There is a chute attachment for continuous processing...

This is the procedure I...

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 02:43:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lokino - Aloha, I know that there has been a lot of reviews on this subject so I'll try to present something original. The benefits of Road Runner are many. It is very fast--not as fast as in the commercials, though. Pages load quickly and if you have to download...
