Pros: * Solid!
* Plugs fit easily, but are not loose
* Perfect for it's purpose!
Cons: ("Large")
(Only one colour)
(No packaging)
None really.
Other Thoughts: Perfect to combine two short networking cables into one longer one! RJ45 plugs are the type is can handle (standard networking plugs). Usefulness can be discussed, but for it's purpose it's 5/5 rating!
Bottomline: There is not much to say regarding this item actually. Personally I use it mainly to get a single port on my router to a better location since it's hidden behind a drawer. Works perfectly!

Pros: * Lightweight
* Small
* Good light compared to size
* Cheap batteries
* Good sturdy switch
* Only on if button is pressed (can be a con too)
* Very sturdy body!
Cons: * The keychain is weak at the lights end so you might have to do a small modification to this
* The keychain end is not as on the picture - I received a normal one twice (not the "flip-open" type)
* LED might be non centered
Other Thoughts: Crown is a bit fragile for damages, but nothing major at all - it's been in daily use for over 1,5years so that is to be expected. If you are unlucky you might have your batteries drained if the button is accidentally pushed in for a longer period of time. This have however only happened once to me, and the button is a bit hard to prevent this from happening.
Bottomline: A very nice light to have with you at all times. Perfect to illuminate those keyholes that are so darn hard to get your keys into ;-)

Pros: * Glues almost everything
* Dries very, very fast!
* Comes in a box
* Glue has a nozzle and a cap
* Seems to be water resistant (not fully tested)
Cons: * Brittle
* Not strong
* Not made for parts in motion
* Cap is brittle
* The bottle is not filled entirely
* NOT 20g of glue (I've had several)!
Other Thoughts: Avoid getting it on your fingers and poke the hole carefully! If not kept airtight the glue will become gooey after a while, but that happens to most types of glues. Recommended, but using the glue over a long period of time might be a problem - yet still it's cheap!
Bottomline: I would recommend this for everyone who want to glue two parts together (most types of surfaces) that doesn't require them to be strong and able to handle vibrations. Instant curing time!
Note that this type of glue reacts to the humidity of the air, so if your glue is curing faster in some places that might be the reason.

Pros: -The shock is quite strong! -Looking like and ordinary cheap pen (fooled one of my co-workers twice) -Comes in a box -Works as an ordinary pen too
Cons: -A bit cheap construction (same goes for packaging, but hey - it's cheap!) -Victim has to be just a tad wet on their palms for this to work (not a problem, but I'm just saying this if it didn't work on a person - it doesn't mean it's does not work - in other words - don't try it on yourself afterwards). Will probably work with 9 out of 10 for that reason
Other Thoughts: Shocking device which is great for fooling someone ;)
Bottomline: Get it if you like 1st of April and generally are a person who enjoy a good laughter (on others behalf) :D

Pros: -Cheap -Batteries included! -Bright light! -Small -Very useful to have with you on your keychain -Nice with a plastic thingy that separates the batteries from the conductor (and thus not arriving with dead batteries) -Very sturdy main body of the light -Sturdy on/off button -Nice on/off button for it's purpose
Cons: -I've bought two of these, and neither came with the type of clip-on in the keychain end -The ring that attaches the chain to the bottom of the light tends to fall off (hence the 4 out of 5 stars in build quality)
Other Thoughts: -For more batteries see sku.61 (100-pack)

Pros: * Good brand and quality batteries * Environment friendly * Works (of course) flawlessly with my GP recharger * Very handy to just recharge instead of buying new ones all the time * Cheap (as the shipping is included)
Cons: * Might be a bit lower power on them than pacage says
Other Thoughts: * Always keep a (or more) fully recharged battery with you as all recharable batteries will suddenly be out of power (for instance using it with a mp3-player) * Charging time can be reduced with a better charger for those who need that
Bottomline: Would/will buy again if i need more of them :D
