The Hole Pro X-230 is a well built tool that makes the task of cutting holes much simpler. If you are required to cut holes into drywall, you cannot live without this tool. It is also capable of cutting woods, plastics, and other materials.

This worked great with my puny 14.4v Dewalt drill. The plastic shield does an *excellent* job of containing dust, debris, and flying chunks. Anyone doing renovation work or a job where cleanup is a big issue, this is a must have tool. I cannot ever imagine going back to cutting holes with a drywall saw.

All of the parts are heavy duty and well built. The shield doesn't leave marks, the blades are strong, and the spinning motion is perfectly balanced. Do not waste your money with the cheaper imitations (~$50).

Because the saw blades are adjustable, this can literally replace a dozen hole saws of various sizes. The only reason to keep hole saws is for specialty applications such as cutting metal or tight locations. While the shield is removable, the "bar" that the blades attach to is a fixed length.

Product Description:
One kit takes the place of dozens of hole saws while enabling fast dust free cutting exact size holes from 1-7/8" up to 9" inches in diameter. Kit includes high quality adjustable hole cutter, ball bearing mounted ABS shield with soft rubber gasket to trap dust and shavings, user replaceable sets of both High Speed Steel and Tungsten Carbide blades, hex wrenches, and sturdy carry case. Shield keeps cutter perpendicular to work surface and cutter has adjustment knob to limit the depth of cut when making holes in walls or ceilings to avoid accidentally cutting wires or pipes. All parts precision machined, measure bar is chrome plated and marked in both inches and millimeters. ABS composite plastic shield is made from the same material as used in hockey helmets and is lightweight, strong, and will not discolor with age. Perfect for installing recessed lights, tubular skylights, in-ceiling speakers, ceiling fans, duct vents, or providing access holes for repairs.Kit includes user replaceable High Speed Steel blades for cutting wood, MDF, Lexan and other plastics, acoustic tile, tongue and groove, laminates, and Tungsten Carbide blades for cutting sheetrock, plaster, cement or Hardi board, fiberglass, OSB, chipboard, plywood, and similar materials. Twin blades for faster cutting and perfect balance eliminate the need for balance bars which can break off inside other cutters.Requires ¼ the torque of common hole saws so a smaller drill can be used and cordless drills can cut more holes before needed to be recharged. ½" cord drills that are rated for maximum hole saw size of 3-1/2 inches for wood can cut holes up to 12" in diameter in plywood using the Hole Pro hole cutter.Like all Hole Pro Power Series kits the shield can be used with the Hole Pro XL-Arbor kit to enable the use of specialty hole cutters such as tungsten grit cutters when cutting tile or stone and have the same dust control and depth control as provided with the adjustable hole cutters.

Kenroy Home 20812ORB Reeler Adjustable Floor Lamp, Oil Rubbed Bronze Review

Kenroy Home 20812ORB Reeler Adjustable Floor Lamp, Oil Rubbed Bronze
Average Reviews:

This lamp, like many other home products made in China, is a piece of crap. Do not be fooled by the exorbitant cost. You can easily find a $30 equivalent piece of junk in one of the big box home improvement stores.

I spent hours looking for a suitable reading lamp to fit in the corner of our living room, for anyone sitting in the chair there to have some additional light. Not being entirely thrilled with anything I saw in the stores in terms of style or functionality, I decided to look around on here. I compared sites, even looking at some of the higher-end design companies (some of the nicer stuff was $300-600), and I eventually came across this lamp on another site. They wanted $129 for this lamp. I am glad I did some more looking, because the apparent aesthetic and simplicity was pleasing, and surely it would be well constructed for such a cost. Amazon had it for about 20% less, so I was thrilled and ordered it.

When I removed this lamp from the box, I noticed something was rolling around inside. It was the nut and lockwasher that is supposed to hold the switch in the lamp itself. You see, someone did a absolutely horrible job of assembling, and the switch was wedged in the barrel crookedly. I tried readjusting it with pliers, but the service cord was jammed so tightly into the barrel that I feared I would break a solder joint or the switch itself. Naturally, the nut would not go back on the switch the way it was supposed to, so I had to turn it around to catch threads that weren't stripped. So i had to put the fascia nut on backwards, and it looks stupid, but also instead of switching it up and down to turn it on and off, it is diagonal. I can't wait to see how many people try to turn it on and can't figure it out because switches naturally go up and down.

I also noticed that although the product is described as having an "oil rubbed bronze" finish, this is clearly just made up. This thing is distinctly black, and apparently spray paint at that. The finish itself is shotty. There are marks in the paint that look like someone brushed the drying pieces up against others, or smudged the paint with their fingers and tried to poorly cover it up. Like getting a chip in your vehicle paint and trying to cover it up with those little brush bottles of paint they used to give you with the car.

tl;dr version: this lamp is poorly assembled, the color is black, and it is excessively overpriced.

My suggestion: never buy anything made by Kenroy Home. It will just as likely be this crappy.

When I got these in today, I wasn't expecting much but when I opened the box, I was shocked to see just how ornate and beautiful they really are.
I have solid cream cabinetry and didn't want something too dark or too shinny.This fit the bill perfectly.
If you are hesitant to purchase these, just buy one and see if you like it.It's worth making sure.Hardware is soooo expensive and really adds up fast!

Purchased this bulb from Walmart for about $10 cheaper than on here.We have 8 canister lights in our kitchen that all use 65w... I was worried that this was going to be weak compared to the others... boy was I wrong.This light is very crisp and warm.We are going to replace the who set with these now.They are guaranteed for 6 years and supposed to last up to 13 or more years.Hopefully, I won't have to write another review for at least another 10 years.

UL Outdoor Listed Globe (New Bronze) Review

UL Outdoor Listed Globe

Product arrived fine. Packaged well (as most Hunters products are).
Sent quickly from supplier (Thanks, Del Mar Designs)
Only complaint is that information was very limited on Amazon website.
Forunately my fiance had looked around before going on Amazon and had found the same fan light elsewhere.
For anyone interested - the picture is not a good representation of the colour (it's kinda frosted cream I guess, doesn't picture well)
And it doesn't come with lights included - you will need two candelabra base bulbs.
Still a good Hunter product - I suppose information for it might be found on their website.
