Review of 10C Technology Universal Multi-Port Rapid Crew Charger

As advertised, this charger charges batteries quickly.It's too soon to tell if it makes the batteries last for more charging cycles compared to the OEM chargers.

It has one annoying feature though.When you remove a charged battery, it takes about 25 seconds for the charger to re-set and the port number light to change color indicating the charging port is ready to accept a battery for charging.Insert the dead battery before the light changes color and the charger will not charge it.25 seconds holding a charged battery in one hand and a dead battery in the other can seem like an eternity when you are in a hurry to get a job done

Review of 50 357 Alkaline Watch Batteries LR44 AG13 SR44W Battery

Need a battery for a watch? $5 who cares it lasts a few years. However, I have a small laser-sight for a handgun that uses four at a time. If it's a duty weapon,BUG or ones CCW (or a pointer for a normal person) it should be verified working each time it's taken out or put up, plus if one's cat likes to chase the dot and and no normal people can see you, one can use up batteries in a few months. (I did get a pointer, just for my cat) So when I bop by the store and they have 3 for $10 and I need four well I remember these things are often cheap on (Ebay) but this time I also check Amazon and at $7.99 for 50 with free shipping (no $25 minimum either) it's kind of a no brainer. Are they the BEST batteries in the world (?) who knows, they work fine and with 50 they should last for the rest of my life.

Review of Panasonic EFA14E50 GEN IV Collection 14W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (Pear Shape)

Instant on, no warm up time for the light. Does not flicker. Does not generate heat. Looks like a regular light bulb. Uses 75% less energy then standard bulbs. Last 10X longer then regular lights. You can get them in warm yellow light or white light. What more could you want???? These kick ass! I use them everywhere in my house that has a light socket, even in the garage door opener. I have cut my electric bill in half!!!! Will buy more in the future, but not for 5-10 years cause these last forever!

Review of Panasonic EY3790BP 12-Volt Cordless Lantern W/O Battery

I bought my lantern in 1996 and use it often.It still has the original bulb (my mini-maglite bulbs sometimes only last a few weeks) so either the bulbs are really good quality or the electronic module (which reduces the voltage to around 7.2volts) gives a really steady voltage.The lamp in this and the 15.6v lantern is 7.2v, 0.75amp. The beam of light is very focused and shines for well over 100 metres (330ft).
However I find the handle is almost useless.When the lantern is carried by the handle it seldom points where required. If I try tilting it, the spring loaded handle snaps around to the next position (especially with the newer heavier batteries - and Panasonic withdrew the lighter C battery earlier this year).Fortunately I have long fingers and can grip the unit around the battery, which enables me to direct the beam where I want it (and is also steadier than using the handle), but I wouldn't recommend the lantern to anyone whose hands aren't big enough to grip it in this way - make sure you try it before you buy it!
I replaced the rubber switch cap with a new one late last year (2001) after the original perished.

Review of Panasonic EY6932GQKW 15.6 Volt Hammer Drill & Driver

I have used Makita, Dewalt and Bosch cordless drills before I purchased my panasonic. And nothing! can beat this drill for performance.

PROS:
1. With a decent drill bit, will drill through anything except cast concrete.
2. Small and compact, very usefull if working up step ladders. I find bigger drills more clumsy and akward since using my panasonic.
3.Excellent battery life and excellent chargers. If battery is too hot it will wait untill the battery has cooled down before charging, If too cold it will give the battery a slow charge to prevent damage.
4.Lockable chuck is a work of genuis, bits will never slip out ever!.
5.Plenty of torque to shame most drill drivers.

CONS:
1.Cheap plasticy case.
2.No slip ring on the chuck.
3.Thats it!

This drill is a masonary drill first and a screwdriver second,hence the pistol grip shape and only five torque settings. It's durable too as it is has has a lot of abuse since I've had mine and it performs as good as the day I bought it. Buy one and you will not be dissapointed!.

Review of Panasonic EFT20E28 Capsule Collection 20W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (T Shape)

If you are looking for a flouerescent light bulb to replace traditional light bulbs around your house, this is the best choice I've found so far.
The bulb is about the same width as a standard bulb, but it is a bit longer, so it may not fit in every device that takes standard bulbs.It does, however, fit in my lamp, which makes me happy.
The best part about this bulb is the light it produces.It is very bright for a compact fluorescent, but it doesn't have the super-white color that is typical of fluorescent lights.The key to selecting a CF light bulb that produces good light is to look for a 2800K bulb.This one is.Most of the other bulbs on amazon are 5000K bulbs, which produce a very bright white light that looks too fluorescent.
In Panasonic bulbs, you can tell if the bulb is 2800K or 5000K by looking at the second number in the model name.If the second number is 28, its a 2800K bulb.If the second number is 50, its a 5000K bulb.The first number indicates the wattage.
Thus, this bulb is a 28 watt, 2800K bulb.
Panasonic has a number of other 2800K bulbs, but it doesn't look like Amazon sells them.Check out www.panasonic.com, select consumer products, then building products, and then lighting for a complete list of all the Panasonic CF bulbs.

Review of Panasonic FV-NLF04G WhisperLine Installation Kit - 4" Single Inlet (Duct Inlet Grille)

I purchased this installation kit to go with a Panasonic inline fan.This listing title is "Installation Kit" and it shows the backdraft damper and cable-ties as well as the 4" grille.However, the kit **DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BACKDRAFT DAMPER**, although it is shown in the photo and implied in the title.This is **NOT** really the true installation kit, it is only the 4" inlet grille.

Researching after receiving this incomplete kit, it seems Panasonic does sell a full installation kit, but that is the PC-NLF04S.The photo and title these guys are showing in this misleading listing really goes with that other product.

To be fair, I am still giving the seller 2 stars, because it is the proper 4" grille for the fan.

But, be warned, this is NOT really the installation kit as title and picture indicate, it is ONLY for the grille.You will need to buy the backdraft damper (and cable ties) separately from a different source.

Review of Panasonic FV-11VFL2 110 CFM Low Profile Ceiling Mounted Fan with Light

I purchased 2 of these fans to retrofit 2 bathrooms on the 2nd floor of my house - from a different vendor.

One went into a regular size master bath and the other into your standard guest bathroom (both with 8 foot ceilngs).I was trying to go for maximum CFM for these 2 baths, but in hindsight, I probably didn't need so high of a CFM and could have done with the FV-08VFL2 model instead.And both baths would have been much quieter - even though these are still not very loud (everything is relative).These fans are so effective, I haven't seen ANY steam accumulate on the mirrors NO MATTER HOW HOT A SHOWER I TAKE.

These are HUGE improvements over what was originally installed - cheapy contractor specials that weren't even as nice as Home Depot Nutones.I wound up not having had to climb into the attic at all.If you're experienced and know what you're doing, you'll have an easy time installing these because EVERYTHING is modular and makes for easy installation.

The side manifold with ducting and electrical connections can be connected and screwed into the joist sepearately.I wound up using the included 4" to 3" adapter.If you used the provided template to cut the hole to necessary size (used blue tape to mark the ceiling), then you can just easily slide the fan housing into place and screw it in into the ceiling against the housing's flange/lip.Install the light module and bulbs, then the shroud, and you're good to go!Each job took no more than 2 hours (with breaks).

I wound up buying these fans from AUH Electric (SoCal).The price was about $[...] cheaper and shipping was quick/cheap.I normally buy everything from Amazon vendors (even my last 6 Panasonic fans), but this time, I found a better source.Price was $[...].[...]

[...]

You won't get any order acknowledgement and their customer service is friendly, if just a little slow/lacking.I will be buying 5 more fans from them in the next month.

Hope this helps you.

This blade will cut thinner metal than the standard blade, but it will NOT cut sheet metal as claimed.The blade kicks back and the teeth are easily damaged.If you want to cut sheet metal, get a Skil saw and turn the standard wood cutting blade around backwards.It does a much better job than the Panasonic, and it is a whole lot cheaper!!!If you want to cut 1/8" or thicker, this blade works ok.

Review of Panasonic EY3551GQ 18-Volt NiMH 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw

I've owned just about every cordless tool made through the years and Panasonic makes great drills.They have great ergonomics and battery life (after 5 years, I have yet to replace a battery and I use the drill hard).I decided to purchase the saw and was somewhat disappointed.It seemed cheaply made and the adjustments are flimsy.The thing that irks me the most is the blade.They must be special ordered because of the arbor size.You won't find them in a box store and they cost $45-$50!Each!That is unacceptable.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Panasonic EY3551GQ 18-Volt NiMH 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw

Product Description:
The Panasonic EY3551GQ Cordless Circular Saw features a 6-1/2-inch, 48-tooth, carbide-tipped blade for smooth cutting through wood. To meet the needs of professional tradesmen, this cordless tool is carefully constructed on four primary principles: cordless capability, power, lightweight, and ergonomic design. The cordless design means that the EY3551GQ can be used almost anywhere. Designed with inverter charger technology, the Ni-MH battery charging system allows for long battery pack life -- this saw can plow through 280 cuts of 2x4 pine on a single charge -- and quick re-charging time. Plus, there's no compromise in power -- this tool provides more than enough punch using a motor with high-power magnets, heat-resistant brushes, and a built-in cooling fan. For your comfort, the saw's advanced ergonomic design means it's compact, well-balanced and easy to operate for extended periods of time without fatigue. The successful combination of technology with Panasonic durability delivers a circular saw that is loaded with helpful features and provides a reliable solution that tradesmen can use for all their construction needs.
The EY3551GQ is an 18-volt cordless wood saw that provides plenty of power for high-speed and fine cutting. With a depth-of-cut adjustment from 1/8 to 2-7/32 inches, a slotted upper blade guard for easy blade visibility, an electric brake, and a spindle lock button for easy blade replacement, this saw is a breeze to use almost anywhere. And if you're looking for a saw that delivers angled cuts, then look no further. This saw has a 0- to 50-degree bevel adjustment, and the in-line ergonomic design gives you comfortable cutting and helps to make clean, accurate cuts.
The EY3551GQ's high-capacity, 3.5AH Ni-MH battery can be fully charged in about 65 minutes, which means less time spent waiting and more time spent working. Even when there isn't a full charge, the inverter charger features a 5-minute "Emergency Charge" that can charge the pack to 15-percent of its capacity in a snap.
What's in the Box
Panasonic EY3551GQ cordless circular saw, 6-1/2-inch blade, 3.5Ah Ni-MH battery, universal charger, and molded case.

Review of Panasonic EFG15E28 Capsule Collection 15W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (Globe Shape)

The light from the bulb is excellent, the warm light feels like day light, while the Verilux daylight really feels too strong on the blue spectrum to me, at least I don't see the same color under the sun light.
The Panasonic bulb is great except it takes a while to reach full brightness(like 20 sec. or so). and it starts very dim. The 15w looks like a 20w. incandlescent for the first 5 sec. if you have not turned on the light for a while(10 minutes). which might annoy some people. Yet I don't have problem with other bulb flourscent light with such a long delay such as Verilux.

Product Description:
Tear down the house in a hurry. The EY3544GQK 18V reciprocating saw kit has improved motor/gear technology for long lasting performance and powerful cutting. With 0-2,700 spm and a 7/8 stroke length you get fast, accurate cutting. The convenient keyless blade clamping system allows you to install a blade by just pushing the blade into the tool. A quarter twist of the collar releases the blade without having to touch it --- a nice feature when that blade heats up from heavy use.

The electric brake and two- finger trigger switch deliver control and safety during use. This saw is powered by Panasonic's 3.5Ah Ni-MH battery pack, which is the highest capacity battery pack available in the market today. The high capacity battery delivers long run time and will allow you to cut 35 pcs of 2 x 10 pine on just one charge. Great demolition tool built tough to last even in severe working conditions. The 18V high capacity battery pack can interchange with other tools in the 18V system.

Review of Panasonic FV-20NLF1 WhisperLine In-Line Ventilation Fan for Single or Multiple Inlets

We have renovated several houses and have always installed Panasonic vent fans. They are among the quietest and most durable available (Fantech is also good). This is the first inline fan we have installed. We put it in the kitchen-- we don't need a fancy hood with fan over the stove, just a good exhaust fan to clear the occasional smoke or to cool the room.This fan moves lots of air (240 cfm), especially with the 6" duct we installed, but it is quieter than the 70 cfm ceiling fans we have put in previously.
