Advantages: Rechargeable
Disadvantages: Comb attachments get clogged!

...We bought this "SHORT CUTS Cordless Hair Cutting System" on E-Bay for £19. It is endorsed by Mark Hill who was British Hairdresser of the year, and the set includes 2 combs, trimming scissors, 2 comb attatchments and a storage stand, which can act as a recharger. It's cutting attatchments have a unique feature in that they slide up and down to give a total of 10 cutting lengths from the 2 attatchments. The Shavers are rechargeable and can be charged either from the storage stand or by being simply connected via the power lead to the mains, in this mode they as well as charging they can be used to cut!. The clippers cut very well, with minimal catching,even on our special needs child who moves a lot as he severely objects to haircuts, but the comb attatchments do clog up with Hair quite badly, so you are forever having to stop...

Advantages: Good likeable sound
Disadvantages: None

...'Cuts like a knife' is a CD that contains 10 very good rock tracks. The CD is similar in style to 'You want it - You got it', however the rawness has been taken away and been replaced with a much more commercial sound. The tracks once again are well written with the musical instruments played exceptionally well. My favourite tracks are 'Straight from the heart', 'Cuts like a knife' and 'The best was yet to come'. This CD is definately one for the collection if only just to see how and by how far Bryan Adams has progressed as an artist.... Read review

Advantages: Looks good enought to eat
Disadvantages: Handle and wheel detatch from each other alot!

...This pizza set cost £7 from elc and thought we would buy it to solve some bordom over the half term! Opening the packaging is easy (unlike some kids toys) and we set up a pizza cafe with my daughter aged 4. There are six slices of pizza, a pizza cutter and spatula and looks quite easy to use. Now my daughter is a very delicate thing but we found one problem with it, if you cut the pizza with the cutter and you carry on cutting to the bottom, the middle bit that holds the cutter to the handle hits the side of the pizza and the wheel comes off! This easily pops back on but my daughter got sick of putting it back on and now uses the spatula to cut it! The idea of it is good, shame they didnt glue the pizza wheel and handle together as it would of made a fantastic toy.... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, easy to chnage blades
Disadvantages: Noisy

...As power jigsaws go the Black & Decker KS633 sits in the middle of the range. The only thing it lacks compared to the more expensive ones is a rheostat style speed adjustment system and frankly I’ve never missed mine not having that extra. The saw does have variable speed and is very easy to use and comes with a selection of blades for cutting different materials. Changing the blades is a lot easier now that Black & Decker have a new system and you do not even need a screwdriver to change blades. This is probably just as well as the blades never seem to last very long though that could be my cutting technique. The cutting edges are reasonably fine for accurate work. As dust is kept to a minimum by the clever guard arrangement at the front, it is as easy to follow your lines as a well rehearsed actor. One factor to consider when... Read review

Advantages: Powerful, collects cuttings, roller to create stripes, can use on wet grass
Disadvantages: Is electric so not practical for very large or remote lawns

...Very powerful and can cut long grass with no effort at all. With the roller on the back, you can get that striped effect on your lawn too. There is a grass collection box so the cuttings are not left on the lawn - although you can run the mower without the box on if you're not bothered about the cuttings. It can handle long grass as easily as short grass and has several cutting heights to choose from. It can also cut wet or damp grass which is a big advantage when you don't have to wait for bone dry weather to cut the grass. The blade is easy to remove to sharpen if you need to and there is a very long cable. It is easy to manoeuvre and gives a perfect cut. Advantage over a cheaper 'hover' type mower is that this has a roller at the back to create the stripes. I've had one for 2 years now and have had no problems. Can't really see... Read review

Advantages: good value
Disadvantages: cut off every hour

...The most noticable disadvantage with the free internet is that the user is cut off every hour - I'll probably be cut off while I'm writing this opinion! I understand why they do it, but it can be annoying if a user is halfway through downloading something. The initial charge is excellent - 50 pounds a year - which gives unmetered access 24/7. The facilities excite offers are excellent aswell - free email, sms and a voicechat room. On the whole, it's very good value, but it can be difficult to get back online once you have been cut off....

Advantages: Great at removing spray paint and covering scratch marks
Disadvantages: Can't be used prior to re-spraying

...I have had T-cut in my car care kit for five years now and would be in trouble without it. I first bought it to put the shine back onto my first car, then to repair some damage after another driver reversed into my car and most recently to remove spray paint from my car. RESTORING THE PAINTWORK T-Cut can really bring back the shine to your car, especially when you are trying to sell your car and need to distract the buyer from the large rust hole in the passenger side wing. Didn't work to distract the buyer, but he was impressed by the shine in the rest of the paint work. COVERING SCRATCHES. With my second car, I was crossing a junction and passed behind a stationary car. They didn't see me and reversed back into my rear door. The damage was largely superficial and only left a few scratch marks and some rubber from the bumper. I... Read review

Advantages: accurate cutting
Disadvantages: none

...I'm pretty good at DIY, and have no problem tackling most jobs. However I have one major problem, I can't cut a piece of wood straight, I've even practiced cutting wood, but even so it always comes out wonkey. I'm like silly bollocks, with an old hand saw, and to make it worst, my family take the piss, they've even nick-named me Mr Wonkey. One day I was looking through the Argos, and I saw these Power Devil circular saws, for only £29.99. I knew that one of these tools would suit me down to the ground. So I purchased my new saw, and set to work on cutting some wood for a fence. The saw cut through the wood like butter, and it was so fast, I was cutting my wood like no tomorrow. When I first used it, it can be a bit hair-raising, as their is this big sharp blade whizzing round, but as long as you clamp the wood safely... Read review
