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

...Before I write this review, I would like to say that I am reviewing a local company to myself, who happen to own a big website and ship throughout the UK, and my dad uses them constantly (so I've had a bit of help in some aspects of the review!) Tooled-up.com is a tool company based in Enfield Middlesex and who supply to the whole of the UK. They sell thousands of tools for different professions, the garden, the car, the home, the workplace etc. And the company sells only branded tools like Makita, Bosch, and Dewalt etc. The company is mainly based online although they do have a shop which is based in Enfield, so sometimes me and my dad travel down there, other times we're happy to order online as it's easier to browse at your own pace and the delivery service is excellent!! Let's start from the beginning…. For my review I am... Read review

Advantages: Lots of tools to cover a multitude of jobs.
Disadvantages: Cheap feeling screwdriver.

...There are lots of little jobs that need to be performed in IT and many of them are hardware related. These jobs range from fitting additional memory to complete motherboard replacements. But whatever you are about to do to your PC, you are going to need specifit tools for the job. So I figured I would wade in and give you a bit more info into a lifesaver of a product for the budget concious IT people out there. Yes, im talking about the Belkin 36 piece professional Tool Kit for IT. Packaging/Casing. All 36 items are housed in a neat little zip up wallet that is the size of a child's shoe box. Its Faux leather appearance is fooling no one! Its water resistant and well made. Inside the components are all retained by elastic straps and velcro so it is a very secure and tidy way to carry your tools. Contents. Varied... 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: Cheap, Sturdy, Easy to Use
Disadvantages: None

...The Company Park Tools are an American company manufacturing bike tools for the home and professional mechanic. They claim to be the largest bike tool manufacturer in the world. From personal experience I have found that while Park Tools are more expensive, they tend to be of higher quality than their competitors. Despite being an American company, most of their tools are actually manufactured in the far east. Why would you want a Chain Checker? Chains are said to stretch with use. The chain doesn't actually stretch. What happens is that the pins and bushings are worn away by use, creating play. A worn chain under tension will elongate further than a new one. Once the chain has elongated by 1% or more it is considered worn. This level of wear is not visually obvious. Chain checkers provide an accurate... Read review

Advantages: Strong, reliable, spring-loaded pliers, rust proof
Disadvantages: Scissors have small cut size

...Being a military man, I have had both a LEATHERMAN© and a GERBER© in the last 10 years, so am in a position to speak with authority on both. The Leatherman is a good tool. However, the Gerber 800 puts it in the shade. Gerber make several models of multitool, but I chose the 800 because it is the most robust and useful in terms of tools provided. It's official colour is 'champagne', I prefer to think of it more as 'light bronze'!!!! The 800 has 18 features, each of which has been thought out to be of ACTUAL use rather than fantasy use. What I mean is, how many of us have found ourselves needing to get a stone out of a horses hoof, whilst needing to get a splinter out of our hand with tiny tweezers whilst trying to measure a 4-inch fish? I've put the specifications at the end so that you can see everything it's got, but I... Read review

Advantages: Talks back, light.
Disadvantages: Difficult to control, noisy.

...This is in response to Gavino’s thoroughly unfair review of the snowboard Kevgin Fingleton, so please read his opinion before this one. Last time I went snowboarding I found Kevin to be a more than adequate piece of equipment. He skidded merrily across the snow, and was remarkably light compared to most pieces of equipment. He was difficult to control at first due to his wild thrashing, but soon became docile after a few near collisions with trees. He would also provide fascinating conversation for those long expanses of snow, something which no other tool can boast. However, that is not to say that I was without problems. The irritating piglety squeaks which emerged from him whenever I hit a rock or landed heavily after a jump quickly got old, and he seemed to get damaged very quickly, to the point of oozing blood all over...

Advantages: Good graphics and replay value. Huge choice of weapons.
Disadvantages: Single player only. Short.

...as the Cragmite attack begins. Great when running it in 720p HD glory. Multiplayer It's a shame, Ratchet features no mutliplayer or online, but maybe it's for the better. The single-player campaign is fully filled out, and it meant that the developers could put their full attention to it. It's not a ground-breaking loss, but some will be dissapointed with the lack of splitscreen modes. Conclusion Tools of Destruction builds masssivly on the old games, whilst still retaining their unique and original feel. Old fans can't go wrong with the game, so go out and buy it. I think that for people who have never played the series, this game is the right place to start, although if you have played previous games and couldn't stand them then not much will change. It's good old Ratchet...but better. Thanks for reading.... Read review

...History of the Caddy-Cart <><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ When I started golfing as a young lad my golf clubs stood in the corner of the front porch, in a small carry bag, ready to be hoisted at a moment’s notice at the first opportunity of a game. During the school holidays, I was out on the golf course almost before my last mouthful of breakfast was swallowed, only returning to quickly swallow a quick bite at mealtimes before I took to the links once more. Even now, some forty plus years later, things are not so different. My clubs and bag still occupy a spot in the hall cupboard, but nowadays they are a little bulkier and heavier than the pencil bag of my youth. ~ ~ ~ ~ Golf has come a long way since those halcyon days of the 1960’s, when all that was required was a simple bag, a few “sticks” and golf balls...

Advantages: Light, easy to use
Disadvantages: Take out the batteries and lose your photos

...Waitec Caddy 03 I won this in a Clearasil competition a couple of years ago. For what it is, it's a brilliant little digital camera. I recommend it for little children and older people. It's so easy to use. It's press the mode button and click away. Waitec Caddy 03 is compact and very light. It easily fits into your pocket or handbag. It comes with a nifty black cover to protect. It looks like a normal film camera but it's digital camera. It's power by two AAA batteries. The only colour it came in was blue with a touch of silver to trim it off. It has a built in memory of 8MB which takes up to 70/200 photos but in reality, the best I could get out of it was upto 60 because the quality on the 352 x 288 pixels photos were just not worth taking. 60 photos may not be a lot for a digital camera but for the time it was made and also...
