Post products you are **EXCEPTIONALLY happy with

[COLOR="royalblue"]Thread is not about i like this spark plug or these wires or this spoon is better than that spoon ect.
Post something if you happen to have found a product that is so well made and even if you paid out the butt, list it if it is exceeding all expectations and you only wish you could talk all your friends into buying one because you know it will make them happy.

so to that end, i try to convince you (the reader) to buy this stuff below.

If you happen to think of several things, just edit your original post that way we can consolidate the thread and it wont turn into a gazillion pages[/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]The product you list must have given you a "gotta tell my friends about this" moment to make it to this thread,, not the "well, this thing seems to be pretty good product"

If you fell in love or had a holly shiznit moment, then all of us probably want it to.... santa comes once a  year and so do birthdays  : )  It could be big or small cheap or expensive but the end game is to tell us what it is and why its great so we can get one. [/COLOR]

this kills puppiesanese beetles nearly almost on contact,, plus its all natural!!!
"Natural Care+"
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Natural-Care-Flea-Tick-Home-Spray-32-Oz/50103679

This kills potato bugs on contact!!!!! dont laugh.
with a calibrated finger,, just one mico second of product burst onto the bug and they inside of 10 seconds roll up into the dead position.
i just went through 5 40' long potato plant rows and hit individual bugs fairly quickly.  Save your money on that useless bug sprays or dusts out there.
The best part is this contains no pesticides

Rust-Oleum Rust Dislover
-Works for both submerged and simple dipping process to remove rust.  Work quick and exceeds my expectations.

Evapo Rust
-Works just like Rust-Oleum Rust disolver yet takes about 8 times longer to achieve the same results.  The limitation is this product works if you are able to submerge your product into a bath. 


Iron Rival water filter
If you have what is considered bad water and everyone else around you also does, there is no longer a reason for it.
Link  http://www.home-water-purifiers-and-filters.com/iron-filter.php

This product I installed at my mother in laws house.
The company makes water filters for places in the world where the water is not drinkable.  With that being said, It works perfectly.

Company is in Canada, great customer care and great support staff.
We purchased the IR12 with sediment filter and UV filter.

They also offer tankless water heaters by Stieble Eltron (Tempra24) made in Germany so we upgraded her to this as well.

All in we had 2100.00$ in the whole system , (water filter, sediment filter, UV filter, Tankless water heater, flex hoses, electrical pieces parts)

This is a very different kind of water filter so read up on it.

The whole system installed occupies 6sqft of floor space (basically the corner sqFt area where the old hot water tank was.
we built the system such that the two adjacent walls held the accessories and the upright filter sat in among all the other gear.


This is my opinion only but here is the down side, we have great spring water for our home and it has to some degree a "flavor" so to speak.    Her water filters so much that it tastes and feels like you just drank bottled water.  if you don't like that flavor but you want "PURE" water without harmful extras, this will get rid of it.


Lazer-Bond
there are a few knock offs which I have tried two but the made in usa stuff acts very different and is my favorite
This glue really works as advertised and to be honest, its making krazy and super glue obsolete at my house.
I have used it a lot.  most recently to glue down a tstat to a housing then I put on my gasket.  You all know a tstat on a ford 302 can be a pain unless you silicone it down and let it set up ?  this stuff is instant.
its fixing all kinds of  things broken and doing really great.  if you forget to put the cap on,, the stuff doesn't dry up on you either.  GREAT product must have

Video of me (Scott)  using my wood splitter made by Super Split
  ~ Made in Mass USA
http://s47.beta.photobucket.com/user/jcassity_bucket/library/super%20split%20wood%20splitter

I highly recommend you dig into your pocket just as deep as those slow hydrolic systems and figure out a way to beat me.  this thing is always 100% of the time **Waiting on you cause its already done.  It has a iddy biddy gas motor with a 1/2'' cluch pully that drives two 15'' 100lb flywheels, operates on a centry old concept of rack & pinion.


here is the link to the web site, my unit is the small motor, work table, no tow package, non-street wheels.

Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 Tankless Water Heater ~ made in Germany, distributor of mine is in Mass.
http://www.stiebel-eltron-usa.com/

My tankless water heater, made in Germany.  Dont fall for the ones that are sold at lowes and there is a long story behind why,, trust me on this one please.  This dropped my electrical consumption by 20% and i have proof.

you spend 200$ min in materials for installation
My Tempra24 18kva required dual 60A 2pole ckts and i purchased Goodyear washing machine hoses to tie into the existing hot / cold water lines.

A perfect *Return On Investment* project and you may even get a tax credit

------------------------------------------
Snow blade attachment for my Hustler zero turn mower  ~ made in UsA  (Michigan i believe)
Now this thing is engineered!!!!!!! and to tell you the truth, i can honestly say i have used this exactly for the purpuse they showed on thier vidio, ive pushed dirt piles, spread gravel, moved snow and even pushed brush out of the way.  They call it poly but its more than that, you just gotta dig in and look at it close.  this was 480$ i believe.
It has a metal leading edge, metal elevation gliders, metal framing, manual up and down by simple stuff that works, heavy industrial strength spring loaded "break away" system that flips the blade and returns it incase you hit a rock.  This thing is a must.

****THERE IS A RECALL issued nov2012 on all Hustler and bigdog mowers due to a vent valve defect for the gas tank, recall #13-704
Recall listed on the hustler web site for a free repair.

Good by wire nuts (in a lot of cases)
Hello darling!!!!!!! where have you been all my life~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.lowes.com/pd_21985-12704-30-286L_4294722554__?productId=3365796&Ns=p_product_avg_rating|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_avg_rating|1&facetInfo=

a perfect example of how to keep things simple and this does it.  they come in 2, 3 and 4 position to allow you to toss away those wire nuts in trade for these.
I know everything has its application but just imagine striping a wire and sliding it in, try to pull it out and its stuck there forever. bits in the more you pull.  gotta have a few of these for sure.  This is the cheap and neat item for any handy man.  If i got an assorment of these as a gift, id be happy for sure!!

Liquid Nails Clear seal~
this stuff works well beyond what the lable says.  When you want clear silicone without the expense and smell of the typical clear stuff we by for cars, this is it.
Another bonus is that it does not tend to dry out a few days after you  open it up, all of us have had that happen no matter how well we seal the end of the tube.

========================
Flex Seal
and now it comes in Clear
honestly this stuff works great on anything you want to fill in, has become a product i replenish when im out of it.

.
.========================
Never Wet
Repels anything your outer wear is exposed to from water to oils and various dirt.  Nothing sticks to the item you apply this 2 part spray on product to.
Product works as advertised but and I repeat ******BUT****** if you don't want your item to look like a Smerf, do not over coat with Step 1.  I did and there is a very light whiteish blue color.
Even more importantly, ***when the surface is black, the above problem will be worse.
I don't see anywhere I screwed up on the application, the instructions were pretty clear.  I just put way too much on.

Here is the downside that I believe even the manufacturer does not even know yet so I will call them and let them know.
Water mixed with dishwashing detergent ****DOES NOT ROLL OFF*** like all other liquids or solids.  It sticks right to the surface and then when wiped away, the dawn dishwashing liquid mix takes your coating off.

My Power Probe III
i use this on almost a daily basis. finding shorts, opens and loose grounds very quickly. or say you wire up your trailer and want to test it out first, go ahead, has a 8amp circuit breaker that resetable in the tool. you can give the tip either power or ground by a switch or read what your voltage is or if it has a ground. great product. i used my first oen so much that the wires broke inside the outter casing from being mover around so much. i repaired it and bought a new one and used the old one at home.

One product that I swear by and have been really impressed with is aerokroil.  http://www.kanolabs.com/

I have used it on rusty bolts and whatever I have soaked in the stuff came right out like it was a new bolt. The trim screws on my dad's '74 Vette were rusted in place and the philips heads were starting to strip. I soaked the bolts and they went from looking rusty to a greyish as the rust seemed to have dissolved. He thought they were going to have to be drilled out, the half stripped philips head screws came right out! It's not cheap but it works miracles on rusty bolts and nuts and is a big money saver on Advil!

Wow! Never seen that one before now. I'm pretty much sold after seeing that demo. I have Stanleys 99pc "Black Chrome" socket set, and their 3/8in ratchet is high quality, just doesn't hold up well in high torque situations, as I have broken a few already. Looks like I'm gonna be hitting up Failmart tomorrow.

I honestly never had a problem with mine. I have had 4 or them now, 3 walked away or were borrowed to never be returned. With this ratchet, you can remove the started bolts from the wheel well on a 87v-6 cougar easily, without removing the wheel with a bunch of extensions. I used this as my only ratchet in my just yard kit and never broke one. A lot of people say they break easily, but I have put well over 100ft lbs through it quite a few time.

The handle does deteriorate though, the rubber and plastic wear away. But it will still be comfortable to hold. I want to order a 1/2" and 1/4" when I have some time and money. Also, this ratchet works very well when your doing a water pump on a 5.0 in conjuction with wobbly extensions.

Not sure what brand, I will have to check.  But my $6 Harbor Freight special 1/2" drive breaker bar, I have had an 8ft cheater pipe on this thing and it bends like hell, but does not break. I thought for sure the allen bolt that holds the head on would break, but hasn't. have owned it for 6 years now, and it always breaks things loose where other (a lot of time much more expensive) breaker bars fail

I have another vote for the Stanley Rotator.  I have had mine for over 5 years and have had no problems.  Saves lots of time on some projects.

Probably had more to do with me. I'm pretty strong, and tend to be rough on Hand tools. I had my Stanley 3/8 Ratchets at only around 75-90ft lbs, torquing down the head bolts on a 2.3T. Stripped out the ratchet mechanism on 2 different ones, with no cheater bar even being used. They are cheap though, and I like the brand, so I don't mind buying more when they do break.

My only problem with STanley ratchets (Wal mart, nuff said) is that the allen bolts fall out of the head. I suppose loc tite would help, but , a new ratchet is already coming apart after only about 10 uses...surreal.
