Neat and Handy Reviews

I have painted tabletop miniatures for 15 years and always wanted to try airbrushing but have been hesitant not knowing what to knowing much about them. I liked how simple and compact this model is. I'm still learning but found it easy to do zenithal priming and a get a smooth even base and highlight coat of the main flesh color. It seemed worked well with surface primer, white ink and acrylic paint. It's very quiet and was really easy to take apart and clean. I didn't time the battery but it...

Works great on large brushes! I was skeptical about this, but I hate cleaning my brushes so I gave it a try.. so glad I did!! It cleans & drys my large brushes in under a minute!! Pros: only needs a fraction of the cleaner I was using. Brush is clean & dry in and a minute. Makes my brushes super fluffy Cons: it doesn’t work nearly as well on smaller/ shorter bristle brushes. I wish it had more texture at the bottom of the tub like a regular rubber brush cleaner. You need a second tub or the sink...

Absolutely magic!! I absolutely LOVE this little cleaner! I don’t know how it does it but it’s literally like magic. It takes 2 AAA batteries to operate. I stopped using brushes a couple of years ago because of how difficult they were to clean and how they took 1 or 2 days to dry 🙄. So annoying! This was really easy to set up. I tried it on some of my worst brushes first. It cleaned them very well AND dried them all within 20 seconds! I had a field day and started cleaning all my brushes for fun...

I kind of thought these might be gimmicky, but I have plenty odd shaped, different sized things that need covering... including some storage containers with lost lids... so I ordered. I've found these very useful and better than plastic wrap because they're washable and re-usable. I've used the biggest size on big pots, bowls and watermelon halves -- the mid sizes on all sorts of any-shaped containers and the small ones to cover cans of evaporated milk and to slip over halves of fruit and unfini...

A lazy girl MUST have! I’m the worst when it comes to cleaning my brushes regularly and this little gadget is a total game changer. I’ve got a busy schedule, so the fact that it can clean AND dry brushes quickly is huge for me. It’s easy to use if you follow the video just as the instructor does it. (Turn the brush on and let it spin before dipping it into the water, and then repeatedly dip up and down.) This is my first Amazon review after Lord knows how many purchases if that gives you any ide...

I just finished using this to repair a Sonicare electric toothbrush. The issue was that I was not able to turn it on or off and it turned out to be a tactile switch. I used the magnifier to remove the 5 mm (VERY SMALL!) tactile switch from the circuit board. I then used the 2.5x lens to see close enough to actually disassemble the tactile switch into its component parts, to clean the switch parts using small pick/scraper for electronics, re-assemble the tactile switch and solder the switch back ...

At last I can again enjoy counted cross stitch projects! I had given up, it was too much of a strain to see the tiny stitching clearly enough or the minute variations of thread colours. These magnifying glasses have opened up so many possibilities, I’m about to take on an embroidery project as a new challenge! None of this would have been possible before. I’m thrilled! The glasses are lightweight (I bought the USB version, it doesn’t take long to recharge), comfortable to wear for long periods, ...

I saw this product advertised a few times on social media. It's proven to be the BEST aid for model painting and assembly I've ever had. As I have gotten older, my eyes have gotten a tad weaker. The multiple lenses, small but powerful lights and comfortable 'arms' used in place of an elastic strap all have made this product a winner for me! Even better: All the various lenses, headset and other pieces of this set are contained in a well-designed carrying case that keeps everything well organized...

Lightweight, wear easily with glasses! I have only had them for a day but I really like them so far. If you switch out the side pieces for the elastic strap, you can wear them comfortably with glasses. A soft rubber piece hides the battery compartment for the light and feels very comfortable against your forehead. I’m using them for working on electronics and they have been very helpful when soldering teeny tiny components. The headset comes with 5 different sets of lenses in a sturdy plastic ...

This is a pretty handy product for the price. I needed something like this in order to do my eyelash extensions and this worked out perfectly. At the top of each lens it tells you the magnification number and you have the ability to adjust the lenses up and down for better viewing comfort. The nose piece can be opened and closed to a fit the bridge of your nose. In all honestly it sits snow around your head so you don’t even have to use the strap that comes with it to hold it on if you are looki...

Wear These Whenever I Draw. I do very detailed drawing and these allow me to capture all the fine detail that I need. Since the sides are open it also makes it easy to glance from reference to my drawing or at other areas in the room without removing them. They have a light in them, but I don't use it since the addition of batteries makes the visor way too heavy, even without the batteries it can get a bit heavy on the nose after having it on awhile. It would also be great if there was a carry c...

This airbrush is small and portable. It is battery operated and rechargeable, which makes it really handy on trips and vacations. It is a gravity feed airbrush, which makes it easy to clean, and it is double action, allowing better control over how much paint and air you use. Its a little heavy, since you are holding the airbrush and compressor at the same time, but the fact that you dont have a hose makes it more manageable. It feels solid, not cheap or flimsy, and I expect it to hold up very w...

I got this primarily for drying greens etc. as an alternative to other salad spinners, which I find fussy and bulky. I like this thing! It's working well for what I need it for and I actually look forward to using it. Pros -Surprisingly sturdy with the handle and can stand on its own too -Easy to rinse the lettuce in the bowl and then pivot the green part to use the spinner -Food get plenty dry -Water stays in the sink -Super easy to collapse and clean -Fits in other bowls Cons -If I go too c...

My wife had been commenting for the past few months that I have started hunching my shoulders like an old man. Though I am in my mid-40's, this is certainly not what I wanted. I tried to correct my posture by thinking about it, but was, let's say, less than successful. When I saw this posture corrector, it struck me as just the kind of reminder I needed. I have started wearing it under my suits and when on the treadmill and have started getting compliments on the improvement. The fact is, that e...

Here's what I like about the camera: 1. It works. Even at the lowest zoom (40x) you can see really cool stuff you won't notice with your naked eye. 2. The zoom dial is smooth and makes sense. 3. The camera is small, and easy to tuck away. 4. It's so much fun to drop something under the camera and explore! 5. The resolution is adequate. You can see in the photo I attached that it's showing us a nice image at full screen on a 15" monitor. It's something like 640x480. I don't have one of the HD uni...

I got this item to do some detail fret filing/reshaping on one of my guitars, and it not only got me ‘up close’ to my work, it allowed me to do a really fine, precision job of the task. Beyond that, it’s great for reading in bed! I’m impressed with the quality of the lenses, the multi-position configurability, the comfort of the entire unit, the ease of adjustment, the RANGE of adjustment, and above all, the price! I’m looking forward to using this with sketching and painting, lettering, reworki...
