    Awesome Bike Tool

    posted by theJimDandy on 10/13/2009 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Novice (still getting used to it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Solid build, it's very tough. Well constructed and all the tools are held tight enough. There's no loose connections. Wrench tool locks in place and the tool is large enough to hold by hand (as oppose to gripping it by your fingers). Tire tool provided wi...
    Cons:
    Nothing really.

    Very tight case

    posted by theJimDandy on 10/08/2009 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    It's a very tight snug case. I'm using Seagate Barracuda HDDs so it's somewhat understandable. It works just as it's described. The HDD won't shake or move in the case and it should take a few bumps. Build quality is good with a tight latch.
    Cons:
    Hard to get HDD into and out of the case the first time. Tight fit Will prob absorb shocks but not shaking (you shouldn't be sh...

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    Does exactly what it advertise. But you better be ready for some elbow grease. Construction is good but with some catch.
    Cons:
    White chalk like paint on mine. Plastic in the middle is of low quality (hey it's cheap so I expected this) HDD was hard to fit...

    Good deals for Hikers

    posted by theJimDandy on 09/21/2007 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    Excellent compass, great build quality. I was suprised to see how well it was built. Better build quality than some of the compass at my local camping store.
    Cons:
    My eye peice didn't align immediately to the line. But this was a minor issue, just needed to nudge is slightly when using.

    Pros:
    Very handy, works as advertised. Excellent spread of light without excessive glare.

    posted by theJimDandy on 09/10/2007 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    Cheap. Decent build quality but it would be nice if it worked.
    Cons:
    It'll only light up if you keep on squezing the handle. Since there is no capacitor inside, the light stops as soon as you stop...

    Pros:
    Nice bright spot with a pretty even spread of light. Easy to operate
