Advantages: Customer service and lovely stuff
Disadvantages: not a local rate helpline

...a browse through different types of products because there are subheadings which you can browse through. You can also shop by manufacturer. And they also have a page especially for the promotions which they are running at the time (needless to say this is all very impressive.) I won't name all of the other sites that I looked at, but more than one of them had a site without a search box, and it was so awkward having to narrow things down, especially since I didn't really know exactly what I was looking for. The second thing I noticed about Tooled-up was the price difference from some other companies. Some of the items were coming up a lot cheaper than I had found on other sites. Surprisingly I was worried about this. It always makes me panic, why is it cheaper? Does that mean it will come differently? Etc. After being totally confused... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Sturdy, Easy to Use
Disadvantages: None

...the roller, then the chain is worn to the limit marked on the tool. The Park tools chain checker allows you to check for both 1.0% and 0.75% wear. The 0.75% marking allows you to plan chain/sprocket/chainring replacement. Quality wise the tool appears to be made from stainless steel. No particularly sharp or rough edges, and fits nicely in the hand. The paint used for the graduation marks is tough and shows no sign of wearing off despite being regularly thrown in the bottom of my tool box. Overall It's cheap, it won't break, and it does the job... Read review

Advantages: Good value, makes the job easier
Disadvantages: Comes with no clamps to hold wood in place

...Our DIY story ------------- After painting our living room half and half we needed something to break up the two colours, but what? We didn't want yet another border in our house and a nice crisp line was a no go especially on an embossed wall paper. Solution dado rail. As per usual we went full steam ahead and made do with the tools we had to get the job done. Big mistake! The first piece was quite easy using a wooden mitre box to cut the 45 degree angle and a saw but as to what type of saw it was, I have no idea, I think I will have to ask Handy Andy. Piece of cake we thought that was until we had to cut a new angle right on the end of the dado rail for the next piece to slot in behind. My husband did the sawing whilst I held it in place which proved difficult and after several pieces cut wrong and angles slightly... Read review

Advantages: Captivating show
Disadvantages: Metal fans wont appreciate this

...Back in 2001 I heard a track that would change my life literally forever. The track was Schism and the band was Tool. Tool had been around since the early 90s but it wasn't until the release of their album Lateralus that I heard of them and instantly fell in love. Their unique riffs and spectacular lyrics had me hooked so when I heard of their new album and the possibility of a tour I knew instantly I needed to go. Tool first played Download 2006 which was listed as part of the 10,000 days tour. At the time my friends had left me to the mercy of the crowd (themselves having been crushed to death during Deftones) yet I clung to the railings making several friends with those few in the immediate vicinity of me and forming a fan club for the security staff to help pass the time. They were late on stage but the instant the riff... Read review

Advantages: stirring lyrics, wonderful music, operatic rock anthem
Disadvantages: too many ballads, sounds more like a compilation

...it is far from lacking in passion it does need a boost at times. Some of the songs however, demand a slow, power ballad and The Future Ain't What It Used To Be with its wonderful, cappella ending & It's All Coming Back to Me with it's slow build up grace the album and are 10:33 and 8:23 minute epics respectively. ***Conclusion*** It's been said that this album "spoke to everyone in the Universe but nobody heard it". I don't know who said this but it sums the album up perfectly. It was a commercial disaster although Steinman says today that it's one of the best albums he was ever involved in and he is very proud of it. It has become something of a cult album that Steinman fans generally love. It's a minor masterpiece produced on a grand scale but it is not a Pandora's Box album, they are merely the tools to project Jim Steinman... Read review
