Milwaukee 0729-21 V28 4-3/4-Inch by 4-3/4-Inch Capacity 28-Volt Lithium Cordless 2 Range-Variable Speed Portable Band Saw
"The Milwaukee 0729 Cordless V28 Portable Band Saw uses a high powered Milwaukee built motor to deliver optimal cutting speed and performance. Powering the 0729 is the revolutionary 28-Volt Lithium-Ion battery Pack exclusively from Milwaukee. The 28-Volt battery Pack weighs less than an 18-Volt Pack yet delivers two times the run-time, expanding the list of tools that can be driven on this platform. The battery is positioned so that the balance and line of sight to the cut are not compromised. This band saw has the deep cut capacity of 4-3/4 in. by 4-3/4-Inch which makes this tool extremely versatile and productive. The variable speed trigger delivers optimal cutting speeds of 0-225/0-350 surface-Feet per minute. The LED light aids in making cuts in dark places. A comfortable non-slip soft grip handle provides a better gripping surface and reduces operator fatigue."

I purchased the Lifetime Deck Box last summer and have been extremely pleased so I decided to write a review. I bought this to replace a Rubbermaid model that warped and would not stay together. Assembly of this product was relatively smooth. There is hardware included to hold the storage box together so it took a bit longer than my last box, maybe 20 minutes or so. The highlights of this unit are the hardware that I mentioned has kept the box sturdy and water tight. The shock hinges hold the lid open while you are getting your things and keep the lid from smashing little fingers. The deck box allows for a padlock to secure the storage. Lastly but most important, IT IS HUGE! I believe it is 130 gallons which I believe is one of the biggest out there.
Bigger, stronger and safer makes this a great value for the price.

Had this outdoor storage box for about a month now. Was easy to assemble, took about 1.5 hours with TV on the whole time so I was distracted. Had the box outside through 2 snowstorms now, no leaks that I can see. Box seems well designed. I'll see how it holds up in the strong summer sunlight and report back if any problems.
Update 2/27/12: Still going strong. Had this for over a year now I guess. Moved to a new house, and the box survived the move intact and survived the winter outside without a single leak. Still seems very sturdy, no obvious rusting on any components. The front of the box has bowed outwards ever so slightly since I need to push it in a bit with my leg to close the lid. Probably b/c we have a lot of stuff inside and it pushes the front panel outwards somewhat. Not a big deal since the lid closes fine still.

... and pretty much dominates the competition at the <$200 price level.
I have not seen any bad reviews anywhere on the internet for this product.
I liked it so much I bought six of them.
Yes it was a big sale, an offer I couldn't refuse :).
UPS drivers loves to deliver them if you order several. They're so large they fill the truck and the driver has a good excuse for having only one delivery stop the whole trip. shipping box 62 x 26 x 8 inches. 56 pounds.
EDIT:There are 19 vertical slots along the long sides of the deck box, so there is plenty of choice how many smaller areas to device the deck box into. Instead of buying 18" x 22" plywood sheets to make vertical dividers, I used Black & Decker electric scissors to cut the shipping box into cardboard sheets. And taped along the sheet edges with folded over 3M packing tape to make the cardboard much stronger. Electric scissors are a must for cutting up cardboard shipping boxes. A boatload of boxes fit into a compactor bag.

Great price for a 60W iron, cheapest I could find. Does its job well enough, even though it smokes a little sometimes from between the tip and barrel (it did this before I first used solder, so it's really the iron that is smoking, but it's really minimal).

By Mac Berklee
I'll still keep this iron. I suppose I could use it to assist in dual iron, 60/40-base desoldering of bad capacitors. It easily puts out heat for lead-containing solder.
It didn't put out enough heat to remove bad caps from a lead-free iMac G5 motherboard. I thought the 60 watts rating would do the job.
I'm a bit disappointed, but this iron was inexpensive/free ship/within a larger order. I'll check out on the web what others have used to get the job done.

By Thomas Vanscyoc
If you need a cheap soldering iron for soldering large electronic connections, look no further. This thing gets as hot as I expected and works great on those large connections that a 35w iron can't handle. It comes with one fairly large tip, though anything requiring a smaller tip should likely be using a lower-power soldering iron. Best value on a 60w iron you can get!
