Ridgid RD80702 3300 PSI 3.0 GPM 7 HP Subaru EX21fi OHC Gas Powered Pressure Washer with 30-Foot Hose Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these a few years ago and it is really a remarkable unit. The price on Amazon is way out of the park so I wouldn't recommend buying it here, but if you can find one more reasonably priced, they are absolutely rock solid units.
These put out more pressure than the other junk they sell at the big box stores, have a better motor and a high grade, industrial triplex pump from CAT, which is a premier pump brand for these types of washers. You will regret going cheap on the pump, and to a lesser degree the motor, but with this unit you get the best of both so there's no compromise to be made.
For the money spent, this unit was absolutely the best value in the market place. It really is a commercial-grade product trying to fit in a home-user market, which is why the price point is so far above the other home-user models. You really do get what you pay for in the market for a pressure washer and, if you plan to use it hard for want the best bang for your buck, you would be well served to buy one of these.
Honestly speaking, even at the prices shown here, I'd still buy it again because it's that good. This thing is truly overbuilt and rock solid and you will never regret buying it.

TOTO MS853113S-01 Ultramax Round One Piece Toilet, Cotton White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our toilet was always clogging and when we started noticing water damage to the ceiling below from overflows, it was time to do something about it. I found that the Toto Ultramax had a lot of great reviews on some plumber guy named Terry Love's web page.
I then researched the features on Toto USA's web page (you can get a toilet footprint from them so you know it will fit, and also see some demonstrations of the technologies used).
* Sleek high profile one piece toilet with elongated bowl.
Very comfortable.
* G-Max: Quiet, powerful, commercial grade flushing performance.
* Fast Flush: Wide 3" flush valve is 125% larger than conventional 2" flush valves.
* Wider, 2 1/8" computer designed, fully glazed trapway
* Large water surface
Works great. I still clog it sometimes, but it comes unclogged easy and I have no worries about overflowing.
* Complete with SoftClose seat, or upgrade to a Washlet.
The SoftClose seat means no more banging noise when dropping the lid!
Of course I also purchased the model with SaniGloss (model SG instead of S), because the bowl stays cleaner.
The place I ordered it shipped freight but it was carefully wrapped by the manufacturer to prevent damage.
It's more expensive than cheaper toilets but you will love it. Just make sure you get the price you want and read the fine print VERY carefully to make sure you get teh features you want.

Makita DA3010F 4 Amp 3/8-Inch Right Angle Drill with LED Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I considered all of the right-angle drills currently available in this class before making my purchase. Here is why I decided against each of the competitors and bought the Makita DA3010F:
THE COMPETITORS:
--Bosch 1132VSR 3/8" Right-Angle Drill
I have many fantastic Bosch tools, but this one does not impress me. It is less powerful than the others in its class, and the bevel gears generate a lot of heat when being worked long or worked hard. It has an awkward power switch, which for safety reasons requires a compound motion to actuate. This unit has no side handle option. It is also expensive.
--Milwaukee 0375-6 3/8" Close-Quarters Drill
This drill is also comparatively underpowered. It too has no side handle. Personally, I don't like the 55-degree angle, and physical shape of this drill. I have no first hand experience with this tool, but it seems as though the shape would preclude use in some tight quarter situations such as a hole close to (and parallel to) the floor in a half-width joist. I respect Milwaukee drills and doubtless this one shines in many respects, but I don't like it.
--DEWALT DW160 3/8" Heavy Duty Right Angle Drill
This is a poor excuse for a drill. It has no side handle, it is severely underpowered, and does not reverse! This is a real surprise from DeWalt. It might not be a bad tool if it were priced at $59 but with a street price of $135 (Amazon) it's abysmal.
--Hitachi D10YB 3/8" Right Angle Drill
This tool really caught my eye. It's powerful, slim, and has a side handle. Being fully $50 cheaper than the Makita, it seemed like a real winner. HOWEVER it has 2 glaring problems. PROBLEM 1: The on-off switch is separate from the speed control. I find it essential to be able to vary the torque of the tool on the fly with my trigger finger rather than having to stop, adjust the speed, then restart. Furthermore, the on-off switch slides, and requires deliberate disengagement to turn the tool off. You are unlikely to be able to deliberately disengage the switch if your drill bit binds up unexpectedly as they often do. What happens is that the drill body begins turning instead of the bit. When this happens, there is a real danger of fingers or other body parts being pinned (read crushed) between the drill and some stationary object nearby. This is especially risky in a close quarter situation where your getting-out-of-the-way options are limited. PROBLEM 2: To make matters worse, the drill has feedback circuitry to maintain a constant RPM no matter what the load is on the motor. Normally that's a good feature in a power tool, but NOT in a compact right-angle drill. This is very dangerous. If your bit binds up as described above, and a body part gets pinned it will be exposed to the MAXIMUM force the drill can produce even if the drill is on the lowest power setting! When the drill notices that it's slowing down (because it's crushing your hand) it cranks up the power as much as possible to keep the chuck from slowing down. (Did I forget to mention that the power switch is still locked on?)
SO I BOUGHT THE MAKITA DA3010F 3/8" Angle Drill with L.E.D. Light
The Makita does not have the dangerous feedback circuitry feature mentioned above. When my bit binds up, the tool either jerks to a stop because it's on a low power setting, or it gets yanked out of my control hand, causing my fingers to release the speed switch, and the drill just stops. No crushed fingers!
The Makita is powerful, it is compact, and it has a nice removable side handle which attaches to EITHER side of the drill. Fit and finish is as good as I have ever seen on a power tool. I was impressed. The variable speed paddle switch has a speed limit dial. It is a excellent design. It lets you take advantage of the precise, light action of the paddle-switch actuator yet it caps your maximum speed to a pre-set limit. It really works well.
If I had to make a wish list, it would include adding an electronic brake and a pushbutton safety switch to this tool. The safety is of secondary importance, because you will quickly learn to turn the speed-limit dial down to zero. This works as well as a having a dedicated safety switch, but it would be nice to leave the speed limit dial set where you want it, and toggle a safety on and off when changing bits etc. I should probably mention that NONE of the other tools reviewed here had these wishlist features either.
The LED work light is a very nice touch. When drilling with spade bits in dark quarters I can even watch the color of the wood change as each layer of the grain is removed. Furthermore, when you lightly touch the paddle switch, the light turns on without actually spinning the chuck so you can use the drill as an impromptu flashlight without brandishing a spinning drill bit! I expect that you'll see LED lights on nearly every tool in the future. I just makes too much sense.
I give this tool my highest recommendation. It smacks of quality, and feels good in your hand.

This angle drill has a remarkably durable high output white LED light which will illuminate your drilling area with a bulb that never needs replacing! This drill is lightweight (3.1 lbs.) and compact, with a reduced head height of 2-5/8 inches, perfect for cramped working spaces. The powerful 4.3-amp motor is an aggressive performer. This drill has a variable speed range between 0-2,400 rpm for controlled drilling in wood/metal and speed fastening. The paddle switch has a speed-limiting dial so that you won't over tighten fasteners. This also makes for easy, one-handed operation.
