The Smart Strip is worth every penny! I bought two, one for the TV and components and one for the computer and components. There is little setup involved, only real decision is figuring out which unit to make the switching outlet; in my case it was the TV and computer. When the TV or computer is turned on, the autoswitching turns on the other components. This is the best part of the Smart ...             Intermatic DT17C 7-Day Heavy-Duty Grounded Programmable Digital Timer33 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Long Lasting DT17 I purchased an Intermatic timer that looks exactly like this one at Home Depot years ago, when I first saw that digital timers were on the market. This was at least 12 years ago. I liked it so much I bought a second one about 8 months later. The difference I see is that my model is DT17, not DT17C, as is listed here. Perhaps changes were made that lessened product life, perhaps not. Mine ...             Smart Strip SCG3/049418906 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology20 reviews Smart Strip Smart Strip Large but Easily Setup The smart strip is larger than I expected, but that is understandable with all the technology that is contained in this strip. It was very easy to setup and I just used another powerstrip plugged into one of the controlled outlets instead of buying the version of the smart strip that has more outlets. I wasn't able to get it to work with my AT&T U-Verse DVR, but just set it up to use my TV as ...             Intermatic ST01C White Self Adjusting Wall Switch Timer68 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Great little timer; work well with compact flourescent bulbs. I purchased the ST01C timer to control a post light with 4 13W compact flourescent bulbs and 2 exterior wall lights, each with 3 7W compact flourescent bulbs. In short, this timer works well and does not cause flickering of the bulbs because a relay completes and opens the load under control of the many programs that can be entered into this unit. It's really amazing how much Intermatic has ...             Intermatic EJ500C Flush Mount Programmable 24 Hour Timer58 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Great timer once you get used to the programming This timer works great once you have set up time, and on/off schedule. I have it replace a basic switch with 2 wires, and it only took about 2 minutes to swap it out. It did take a while to figure out the programming at first, but it's a breeze now. Once you set it to manual mode, it turns back into switch mode. Just put the big button to turn things on and off.             Nyrius SW100 Digital Audio Optical Toslink 3-Way Selector Switch for Fiber Optic Home Theater Connections ...25 reviews Nyrius Nyrius Works Great! I purchased this switch to allow me to use the single optical output from my dvd player to feed both my headphone setup, and my surround sound speakers. I tried several other products, and none worked well. I almost gave up on a good optical splitter, until I found the Nyrius SW100. This product works very well. Basically, it will allow you to either split a single source and send it to up to ...             Intermatic TN111GC Lamp and Appliance Timer with 2 On/Off Settings, Easy Set Lighted Dial.6 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Perfect Design--[...] [...] am thrilled with the improvement in design compared with decade-older models. This timer is very quiet when switching on and off, which can be important if you keep it somewhere you plan to sleep. It's also a breeze to program, and simple to manually switch the device on and off by rotating the wheel. The normal on/off behavior will resume after manually switching the device. At the ...             Intermatic TB121C Digital Table top Lamp and Appliance Timer20 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Controls Internet for Kids I bought this timer to control my wireless internet in the house. The kids need to go to sleep sometime and they seemed to play on the computers forever, now the router turns off at 10:00 and is back on for my wife at 5:30. If it is the weekend I just hit the "on/off" button to let them play or talk longer. If I am mad at one for not carring out the trash while absorbed by the internet I just hit ...             Easy Jack 2 Wireless Jack Base and Extension Unit38 reviews Phonex Phonex I'm glad I gave it a try! Purchased these wireless phone jacks to connect my satellite system to the provider (DishNetwork) to avoid two things. I no longer have to run 25' phone cords across the house for pay-per-view and I save the $10/month charge for not having my two receivers in constant connection to Dish. It works great and the payback will start showing up on my satellite bill this month! Easy to ...             Streamlight 65030 Stylus AAAA Replacement Batteries, 6-Pack8 reviews Streamlight Streamlight cheaper alternative available I found instructions online for taking apart a 9-volt battery and getting 8 AAAA batteries out of it. If price is your imperative you can find a how-to for doing this yourself. It drives the price down to about 25cents each. I think I used a Duracell and got 8 batteries for my wife's bluetooth headset.             Palm-Size Handheld Digital Multimeter, DT830B15 reviews Mastech Mastech Better than expected! This tool is low cost and yet very satisfactory. Surprise, it uses two AA cells instead of the more common 9V battery. And the first set is included. The only thing I dislike is the color; but, I'll get used to it.             Bausch & Lomb Magna Visor Magnifying Visor 81-42-00 With 3 Lenses 1.8x, 2.2x, 2.6x Magnification Power5 reviews Bausch and Lomb Bausch and Lomb Magnifiers, heads up for eyes These are by far the most comfortable and adjustable of the headband type magnifiers available. The fit and function is as promised and the added surprise is the leather type feeling to the parts that touch your head. The circular tightening knob in the back just works correctly, and is engineered for comfort. You can and will want to adjust any headband during use and this knob makes wearing ...             Lutron TT-300H-WH Electronics Plug-In Lamp Dimmer, White5 reviews Lutron Lutron Lutron Electronics Lamp Dimmer Switch A great dimmer switch. Very simple to install an works extremely well. My wife has now used it for several months many times a day and she is very happy with the ease of use. The dimmer has very smooth and safe operation. The only downside is that the switch emits an very low level RF signal that interferes with her radio when it is within an a few inches of the radio.The fix is simple...move ...             Leviton 612-6230M-W Decora 30-15-10-5 Preset Minute Electronic Timer White35 reviews Leviton Leviton Leviton Electronic Timer Received this product quickly. Installation was easy and the switch works as advertised. Using the switch is better than trying to remember to go back and turn off the fan after the steam has cleared.             Intermatic TN711C Security Timer8 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Works good, simple to use Very basic timer. Works as advertised. My parents have a simliar timer built on the same winding clock mechanism and it's been working for 30+ yrs. I think it's better than the ones you need to replace a battery.             Malibu ML88T 88-Watt Power Pack with Timer and Ground Shield11 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Great replacement! We bought this as a replacement when our old power pack quit working. The lights all worked fine, just needed the power pack. It was delivered fast and easy to install. We were very happy to have our lights working again. The old one lasted over 10 years, so it's a great product.             Duracell DC to AC Pocket Power Source Inverter 175 Watt #813-0291-074 reviews Duracell Duracell, 2007 performs as advertised I bought this item a few months ago and I love it. Provides enough power to run my laptop and GPS at the same time (I have my GPS hooked up to the USB port and laptop hooked up to the AC port). I Have had no problem with it whatsoever. I would highly recommend it.             Mr. Heater Optional 6Volt Power Adapter for Big Buddy Heater #F2761272 reviews Mr. Heater Mr. Heater More puff than batteries Go ahead and spend the money for this. The heater works a lot better with the fan on and this adapter provides a lot more blowing power than the batteries.             Intermatic, Inc. HB31R All Weather, Outdoor Timer. Heavy Duty-15 Amp. Rain Tight Plastic Case15 reviews Intermatic Intermatic Outdoor Timer meets my needs Nothing fancy, but this was easy to set up and works exactly as expected. I use it for my bug zappers - I only wanted to run them in the evening and didn't want to have to rememember to turn them on and off every day. Within five minutes of receiving these timers, I had them set up. Sure enough, they turned on at 6:00pm and were off when I got up the next morning. They're worked reliably ever ...             Skylink WS-100 Wireless Remote Control (CH A or B)25 reviews Skylink Skylink Channel A or Channel B?? This is a great item, but the manufacturer produces two of these. Each one operates on a different signal and Amazon isn't letting you know which one you're getting. If you order two, you may even get both for all you know. That might be fine for how you want to use them, but I want one to match what I already have. I'd like to know or be given a choice. Wouldn't you? Look at the review of ...              search for tools & hardware 049418906, 30-15-10-5, 612-6230m-w, 81-42-00, 813-0291-07, adjusting, appliance, autoswitching, batteries, connections, electronic, electronics, extension, grounded, heavy-duty, intermatic, magnification, magnifying, multimeter, optional, palm-size, programmable, replacement, security, selector, settings, streamlight, technology, tt-300h-wh, wireless tools & hardware:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
