Pros: Easy to use and works as advertised.DX packed this item very well in special bubble wrap packing.
Cons: The On/Off switch seems kind of wimpy. Overall..Not a very useful item. Got bored of it rather quickly.
Other Thoughts: Kids find this fun for awhile, but easily get bored. Might be nice for a small display as an attraction getter.
Bottomline: If you want an inexpensive plasma ball..Here ya go. Works nicely. Good deal overall. reviews under 500 characters (all fields combined) will not be accepted.So, don't even try to submit an entry with less than 500 characters.. it just won't be accepted.

Pros: Small with some useful features. VERY sharp blade. bottle opener, can opener, blade.. All good.Very heavy gauge steel.. 500 characters (etc...etc..) Why do we need to discuss this with 500 characters? Saw blade might come in useful to saw with.
Cons: Some features are useless.. Orientation??? Ok,..what's that for? wrench is useless in most cases.
Other Thoughts: Kabuki mentioned a leather pouch..If by "leather" you meant cheap, thin vinyl.. yeah, ok..it comes with that. It serves it's purpose.
Bottomline: Not a bad item to keep in your wallet. Might also be useful for shimming open a door. Heavy gauge steel. Will NOT bend. Watch out for the blade..Very sharp.

Pros: Semi-hard case. Attractive "Canon" logo. Just the right size for my little SD200. There is no way you could even get half the quality of this case for twice the money here in the USA. Attractive blue color
Cons: Useless belt strap. (Too tight) Weak strap. No extra pockets. Still WAYYY worth the money.
Other Thoughts: I'll have to see how this case holds up. Looks like there will be no problem. No worries about LCD damage since the case is rigid and padded.
Bottomline: I'm happy with this one. Not sure why it's being sold so cheap. Great buy!!!

Pros: The one i received was purple, which I suppose could be a "pro" if you like that color. Looks just like a regular utility knife.Strong jolt is delivered to your hand when you try to push out the blade. (There isn't a blade of course)
Cons: Purple.I'm not sure if the battery can be replaced, I'm guessing not. It does say "SHOCK"' on it, but I really don't think anyone is going to stop and read it before use.
Other Thoughts: This would be great to have in your toolbox for someone that likes to "borrow" your tools. I could see someone getting real pissed off if they didn't have a good sense of humor. Use discretion with friends.
Bottomline: Fun item. Looks like the real thing. Well built.

Pros: This monocular was quite a bit smaller than I expected, I consider this to be a "Pro" Decent optics with good light gathering properties. Focusing ring seems tight but not too tight. Handy case. Build quality seems good.
Cons: I would really have to think hard to come up with any cons. There are misspellings on the box.
Other Thoughts: Nice monocular for the money. Nice and small so you could always have it handy in your jacket pocket.
Bottomline: If you're looking for a small 7x monocular, go ahead and get this one. Nice as a gift also.

Pros: *Very inexpensive. *Easy to use. *Small Size. *No Software Required.
Cons: Can't really think of any cons. For under $3.00 I feel I got a real bargain. Maybe kinda small so you may loose it easily??? I don't know, just trying to get my 500 word min. in.
Other Thoughts: I bought this for my daughter so she could transfer pictures between her cellphone and computer. Does exactly that.I couldn't ask for more. Great product. My daughter isn't exactly a tech. yet she had no problem using this device.
Bottomline: This is a bargain. If you need one, get this one. You won't be sorry.

Pros: I like the fact that this light uses the "easy to find" AA batteries. The battery case is equipped with an O ring and seems to seal up nicely. Case closes with a screw and seems very secure. Nice weight and comfortable.
Cons: Strobe.. Not sure what it's for?? Seems useless to me. I'm hard pressed to find more Cons for this item.
Other Thoughts: Great for Snipe hunting. All you need is a stick and a burlap bag along with this dandy headlamp. Keeps your hands free with no chance of dropping your light during a snipe ambush. Would also be good for a late night mushroom hunt if you're not having any luck with the snipes. You'll find many uses for this headlamp.
Bottomline: You won't be sorry with your purchase. For the money, I don't think you could find any better. This is the 2nd one I've purchased, very happy with them.

Pros: Light level isn't terribly bright, so I would imagine the battery life is good. Seems to be well made and will tail stand. (probably isn't too important with a light like this)My wife is happy with the color and size.
Cons: Goofy looking keyring attachment which is way too long in my opinion. It can be removed so it really isn't an issue.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Worth the money in my opinion. Not really a whole lot more to say about a flashlight. If you need a small purple flashlight, I would recommend this one.

Pros: Nice bright beam that can be easily seen at night and inside. Very reasonable price. Shipped with decent batteries. Impresses all my friends!! (both of them)
Cons: When I use it inside, feels like I've got sand in my eyes. Be careful! Best to use outside only.
Other Thoughts: Probably not very useful, but still fun. Looks like the beam goes on forever when pointing towards the stars.
Bottomline: This laser is less than $25.00! I've seen similar on the web for >$70. If you ever wanted to get a powerful green laser, might as well get this one. The 20mw laser seemed to have better reviews than the 30mw.. Thats why I decided on this one.

Pros: Will knock out Verizon for a good 30 feet almost instantly! Works well here in the US. Friends are impressed and want one too! Works with all providers that I tried it with.. Nextel,Alltel, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile.
Cons: Battery takes a while to charge. About 3 hours!!
Other Thoughts: Well worth the money! Lots of fun to mess with people. Lots of fun for a little money.
Bottomline: Get one!!! Crap! I can't use 500 characters to describe this unit! I've shown this to co-workers and they want one also......Fun to follow people around in the store and shut down their cellphone with.
