Ownership verified by DX Okay airsoft gun...

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstar
Usefulness: starstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: -Cheap
-Came through customs in Canada
-Good feeling in hand

Cons: -Smaller then i expected.
-The laser is different that the one on the picture: mine came with a laser + 2 flashing LED that make is HORRIBLE...
-Laser isn't aligned, it is waaaaay off the left side.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Good BB gun for that price, and good for some countries where the law isn't really set for Airsoft weapons. If the custom keep it, well its not a big loss...
If you're lucky you will get the laser shown in the picture, otherwise you'll get the ridicule LED+laser that i got...

Pros: -Cheap LED, i found nowhere even NEAR that price
-Long enough wires
-I got 21 leds!!! ^^

Cons: -They look cheap, well they are but they work!
-Not the most powerful, but do more then well the job!
-They don't have indication of wich wire is negative or positive, like more expensive LED, but you just test before installing them.
-When you power them they emit a little red light, it might not be a con for some people.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: -Cheap and good IR LED, i would recommand for any DIY project.
-20 is more then enough for any DIY project.

Ownership verified by DX Worth the money!
Posted by BobbyWhiskey on 12/1/2008
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: less than 1 day

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Good quality build
Feel strong enough to pick
Comes with a better torsion wrench then on the pictures (see my uploaded picture)

Cons: Not a lot of variety in shapes.
Comes with a plastic bag, but it was closed with tape so it is now all sticky.

Other Thoughts: Clearly not a professional lockpick set, but damn, when do you ever see another complete set at 6$?
I received today and i already opened a lock! :)

Bottomline: Clearly worth the money! Good for a beginner like me that didn't want to spend 40$+ on a complete set.

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: -Arrived sharp, but it could be a bit sharper
-Cheap, butterfly knifes retail at least 20$ on other sites
-Arrived without any problem at the customs.

Cons: -Build quality isn't good at all, but for the price its kinda normal
-Does not flip easily, i might have to put some grease and locktight on the screws.

Other Thoughts: The handles are not real wood, but its still good looking.

Bottomline: Good knife for the price.
I wouldn't recommend flipping with this knife but it is good to amaze your friend or start a little collection (like me)
Warning, this knife may be illegal in some countries, it can be taken away at customs.
