Simply the best
When I decided to buy a multi-tool last fall I did a thourough research on the Internet, reading up on what others said, then I went to the store to touch and feel the tools to really sense the difference, and I must agree: This is the best. My first choice, if I hadn't done my homework, would have been Leatherman, mainly because of brand recognition. I never regretted that I bought the Swiss Tool instead. Why?
1. The best feature are the spring locks that lock each blade and tool securely. NO fumbling and accidental slips.
2. The knife blades are razor sharp, even after long use, so is the saw.
3.The size is comfortable, and you grip it very easily.

P.S. I suggest you to get hold of the version with scissors. They may look small, but they're not wobbly at all.

Best steel, nice design, some unique features
The original model of this very sturdy tool appealed to me so much that I bought it despite its high price. After several years of using it almost daily, I can say it was worth the price. It beats all three different Leatherman models I have owned in these respects:
1. The steel is both harder tempered and tougher, so the blades hold an edge better and the pliers cuts harder wire without visible damage to cutters.
2. The blade locking method is straightforward and doesn't require fumbly procedures that might lead awkward users to injury.
3. The mirror finish is easier to clean than the sanded finish of Leatherman's products.
4. Each blade has its own friction spring, so blades fold out individually, not in fumbly clusters.
5. Grip and pliers are comfortably man-sized and plain, without needless pointy irritating edges or geeky contours.
6. The chisel blade can serve as a 66-block punchdown tool (handy for absentminded electricians).

Two things could use improvement on this tool, though:
a. The cast parts that lock the blades are evidently not stainless steel, and can corrode over long use. The locks on my set have corroded but never failed to work.
b. The double-cut, double sided file blade might be more usefully traded for a bonded diamond grit type of file to work harder materials.

In sum, this Forschner Victorinox tool is the best of its type among all I have owned or used, but it is not perfect. It is a bit sad that the hometown Leatherman company that apparently invented the class doesn't make the best tool. It must be cheap Swiss labor that gives Forschner an unfair advantage.

An eye for detail
One of the two best multi-tools on the market today. (the other being the Leatherman SuperTool 200)

PROS:
1) Strong pliers with comfortable grip
2) All blades can open while pliers are closed and all blades lock
3) Useful Chisel blade
4) Anti-rust finish
5) Heavy Duty steel

CONS:
1) The file on the "X" model seems to be made of aluminum. After some use the "steel" plating chipped off. The Leatherman file is much tougher and can be used on wood or metal.
2) You might break your nails trying to open the blades.

*UPDATE*
>> I sold sold the "X" model and purchased the "RS" model thereby trading the cheap file for a curved serrated blade. I like this tool much better now.

Hard to use
The blades and devices in this tool are fine. However, be prepared to break your fingernails when you try to move them into operating position! I'll go with Leatherman in the future.

Best tool I've seen out there
I am an Airline Mechanic so I have the opportunity to see and test out all kinds of tools. Quite a few guys have the leatherman wave, probably the next best multitool, but I have seen quite a few of them go sloppy after much use because the only thing keeping it folded up is friction. The Swisstool on the other hand, uses leaf springs and locking mechanisms so the durability is head and shoulders above the leatherman. Some complain about the size, but if your looking for a TOOL and not a stocking stuffer, you are going to want the Swisstool... It is just a plain better guality tool. ... Read more

The professional double burner range from BroilKing answers the need for electric cooking anywhere that a kitchen is not an option. It offers simple operation and easy portability with its low-profile, chrome metal housing and heavy-duty 3-prong cord. Ranging from 825 to 1650 watts, the side-by-side burners heat up quickly and are individually controlled with smooth-turning front dials. Most effective with pots that match the size of the 5-1/2-inch tubular elements, the range is not ideal for giant stock pots or huge skillets. But for the everyday needs of boiling, steaming, frying, and warming, it does the job just fine. BroilKing includes a helpful safety power light and an adjustable leg for stability. The range is UL listed and backed by a two-year warranty. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Having to count while jumping rope can take the rhythmright out of a good jump-roping workout. That's why this smartlydesigned rope from Tanita manages the numbers for you. It's easy touse--just enter your weight in the handle's LCD display and startjumping. The display keeps track of calories and jumps as you go,counting while the rope's in motion and stopping when it stops.Comfortable and large enough for big hands, the rope's handles arelightweight and easy to grip. Because it attaches with swiveling clips,the adjustable 10-foot rope doesn't tangle up if you choose to jumpbackward or crisscross your hands. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Wonderful rope, especially for starters
I had tried several times to develop facility with jumping rope, but I fatigued too easily and could never build stamina. I would jump for a minute or two or even three, but I would miss a jump and then feel like I had to start all over. Needless to say, I couldn't sustain a disciplined learning curve.

However, with this rope, I didn't have to worry about sustaining (or counting) a specific number of minutes of jumping...I could set myself a goal of xxx number of JUMPS, increasing that number each time, and thus develop the necessary stamina to make a jump rope workout as fun and effective as it should be. By setting a goal of JUMPS instead of TIME, it didn't matter how often I missed a jump...I could just start from where I stopped and the counter would keep clicking away. Even if every other jump was a miss (which wasn't actually the case), as long as I kept going, I could eventually reach my goal.

Well, not only was I able to build stamina and increase my jump goal each time, but the more regular attempts I was making (and persistence in going for my goal of xxx number of jumps) allowed me to develop the agility to jump longer with fewer misses. Before too long, I was actually a ROPE JUMPER!

I have bought other jump ropes--light "fast" ones, and heavier ones for more muscular development--and I enjoy each of them for the traits specific to them. But I never would have developed any jump roping skill at all if not for this terrific rope. I've had it now for a couple of years, and the battery has not run down, and I've never had any problem with rope tangling. Also, I am tall and it is hard to find jump ropes of sufficient length for me, but this one is comfortably long, (yet the length is adjustable and can be made shorter). I even bought one of these for another person and recommended it to still others.

All in all, a TERRIFIC jump rope! Viva Tanita!!

It Doesn't work
I received the Tanita digital jumprope, battery was either not included or dead. I could not unscrew the battery cover, since the screw was some off the wall phillips thing that even my eyeglass repair screwdriver couldn't move. I plan on returning it unless I can find someone to open it.

Better than average jump rope
Its true that the LCD never turns off and that the counter only goes one way. However, I havent encountered much tangling and the rope adjusts well. The rope also makes it easy to jump rope.

Not What I Expected
The jump rope is okay. It wasn't what I expected. First the battery will run out fast since the LCD never turns off. I just got this rope so I don't know how long the battery actually lasts but if it never turns off so I suppose it will be dead soon. Second the rope tangles easily. The jelly-ish rope has to be laid out and put books on to make it straight and not tangle. I put books on it and it still tangles on one spot. Third when setting your weight for the counter it starts around 50 and goes up to 360. If you skip your weight you have to press it about 200 times. The numbers only go one way... once it hits 360 then it starts back at 50. I haven't tried to adjust the rope to my size (I've only had it for a day) so I'm not sure if it works easy or not. The plus side is that it counts the number of times you spin the rope and calories you are burning. It's not the best. A regular rope would be better. ... Read more

Great Value, Geat Product
I bought my first Coleman Flocked airbed when I moved into my new apartment when I had a long time guest staying for a few months. She had no problems with it in comfort, leaks, or anything. Today I'm running out to buy another one for my brother to use for when he has company. They are fast to inflate and easy to store, for the price you can't do any better then this airbed.

Pleasantly Surprised
We bought this air bed for camping. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We slept better on this air bed then we did at home. It's easy to inflate, deflate, store, etc... BUT we only used ours maybe 10-14 times and it had a slow leak. We will give it another chance though and buy another one because if you look at quality vs. price you just can't beat it.

Good night's sleep
I'm writing this review as I purchase my fourth Coleman Flocked airbed. I have grand children that always seem to sleeping over. Sometimes they take over my bed and I end up on the (guest) inflatable bed.However I still get the same good night's rest(bad back and all). This next bed purchase is going to my daughters new apartment until she can afford the real thing.Worth the money.

Durable and comfortable.
I recommend the Coleman flocked airbed to anyone who camps in a tent. It is both durable and comfortable - the best sleep I've ever had in a tent. (This from someone who has lots of back stiffness from a conventional mattress.) I've also used it for overnight guests so it has been versatile and at a price that is very reasonable. This bed will inflate with a vacuum cleaner or with a quickpump and folds up nicely for storage. I would buy again - in fact, are planning to do so for our kids. ... Read more

• Made of heavy duty PVC construction for long lasting durability

Nice Unit
The unit is just fine, but is awfully hard on the elctrical system of a regular automobile. It will kill your battery in less than two hours (if your engine is not running). Other than for that it works just fine.

An extra fridge
Have had it about 3 weeks so far and it works as expected. For indoor use, it may be almost too cold...some of my stuff was starting to freeze a little. Haven't tested the heating yet. New version supposedly has a thermostat which would be useful if using in wide temp ranges. Also, it takes a while to cool stuff that is at room temperature, so some planning is needed. Used it when I hosted a holiday party and it was nice to not have everyone going in the fridge or making a mess with ice/water. I expect it to really shine while on road trips. This unit seems to give much more bang for buck than the tiny 9 can units advertised. So far, I recommend it!

Quality
I purchased this exact item from a Wal-Mart in Bend, Oregon and at first was overwhelmed with the products quality. I have had it for a year now and I have the problem with it either freezing its contents or not getting cold enough to keep the milk from going sour. I am trying to find out myself why it is being so picky.

GREAT TRAVEL COOLER
This is the best ICELESS travel cooler around. No ice to deal with, but the optional 120v converter is an absolute must. Also, check on the internet/truck stops for a BATTERY SAVER when running in auto (shuts cooler off when battery reaches certain voltage, turns it back on after you start the car). I have used one of these for several years for hotel travel, shopping at the supermarket, or going long distances or multiple stores to keep cold stuff cold until I get it home. Great to throw some drinks in for yourself and family (better than paying $1.25-2.00 a drink in many places in the summer). PLUS, with the 120v adapter, take it right into the hotel room with all your cold food and drinks and save a lot of money on restaurant meals. Add a reasonable sized George Foreman Grill, you can make a quick meal in a snap while traveling. I have saved a LOT with it, and usually alway have one with me...WIRED a three-gang cigarette lighter in trunk direct from the battery with a battery-saver wired in-line and this is absolutely the most awesome....cooler stays in the trunk, always there for a cold drink while traveling around from place to place! You can't beat these....I remember the days of dumping and adding ice and the water mess....these are the greatest!

Nice Product (...)
I have been using this cooler for a couple of years now and it works well. I like to load it up the night before an outing, plug the cooler into the wall and then simply transfer it to the car the following morning. The only caveat is to make certain you select the proper setting otherwise your cold food will be warmed to about 125 degrees in a few hours. This cooler comes with a 12volt DC car adapter but [store] is selling the same cooler for [price] with a 12volt DC car adapter AND the AC converter for home use. ... Read more

watch how you shop
I was looking for a trampoline and I kept looking around for the encloser trampolines. I purchased the 13 foot trampoline encloser but I didn't realize that the trampoline came separate. I have the encloser kit witch I spent $70.00 on and no trampoline. When I looked on the internet I never saw that the tramponine was separate and it wasn't clearly explained that it was just the encloser part. I also found out that the size of the trampone is not standard, therefore, in order to utilize the encloser kit, I have to spend another $110.00 for shipping on top of the shipping it cost me for the cover and the encloser kit. I am really upset that this is costing a large amount of money just because they didn't specifically say that the encloser kit needed the trampoline. Bevery careful, it is not every day that you go out and buy a trampoline and the encloser kits are totaly separate. I am very disapointed. ... Read more

Great Keychain Companion
I've had one these puppies hanging on my keychain for about 1 year now and it's been a lifesaver at times. The light comes in handy when you're stuck in a dark spot and I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck without a pen and then suddenly remembered that I did have one, on my knife! The pen hasn't run out yet and always writes great. The scissors cut with the precision you'd expect from a Victorinox knife and the nailfile and knife are always useful whoever you may be. All in all, a great companion to any keychain!
