ADATA 32GB microSDHC Flash Card with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1
ADATA 32GB microSDHC Flash Card with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1

Pros: class 10 micro sd card, got it for thirty six bucks. almost 20mb/s read and 18mb/s write... look at other thoughts for full speed test

Cons: more than a dollar a gb, no case for the sd adapter, comes in a clamshell, but doesnt come with a sd case.

Overall Review: good card so far, just got it so dont know about longevity yet, but it performs well! below are results from CrystalDiskMark 3.0 Sequential Read : 19.922 MB/s Sequential Write : 17.833 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 19.517 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 0.897 MB/s I also ran the "sd speed test" app in my acer iconia a500 and it was writing at about 15mb/s

nice for underwater, not in the dark

OLYMPUS TG-310 Blue 14 MP 3.6X Optical Zoom Waterproof Shockproof 28mm Wide Angle Digital Camera
OLYMPUS TG-310 Blue 14 MP 3.6X Optical Zoom Waterproof Shockproof 28mm Wide Angle Digital Camera

Pros: Nice for underwater and other rough conditions as long as its bright out. Works great outside during the day. Video and photos look good underwater, just like any underwater camera the water needs to be clear. Video works well, stabilization is very apparent during video, helps to avoid shaky videos.

Cons: Poor in low light. It will not focus if there isn't significant light, like a very bright room inside, or outside during the day. Other brands of cameras I own have a red "focus" light that turns on in low light to aid the camera to focus, this one does not.

Overall Review: Overall great camera for pool and beach use. No worries about getting it wet or etc, so it can capture nice pool photos that you wouldn't want to take a non-waterproof camera with. One big fault is the focusing in the dark. Lack of the focus light really affects the cameras overall usability. Image quality is decent, but not as good as my other comparable cameras. The images from this seem over sharpened, but look good for what it is. Video is good, but it is a one button record so it take a couple seconds before it starts recording, and a couple seconds after you stop recording video before you can use the camera again. There is no "video mode" like on other cameras I've used, which usually start recording video rather instantly. FYI I am a photographer and own a few Canon DSLR's, many lenses and a few Canon Point and shoots, which I can compare this camera to.

works well for backups, or testing drives

Rosewill RX301-PU3-35B - 2.5" & 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Docking Station - USB 3.0 Connection
Rosewill RX301-PU3-35B - 2.5" & 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Docking Station - USB 3.0 Connection

Pros: compact size, fast transfer rates, got over 180 MB/s, see other thoughts for details.

Cons: just this style, but doesn't stop dust from getting inside, you can angle the drive where it doesn't meet the connection properly, have to be careful.

Overall Review: I put an old 2TB Seagate Barracuda drive in it to test, obviously your results may differ depending on what drive you use. Got the following using Crystal Disk Mark via USB3.0 Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 199.602 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 189.681 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1.156 MB/s [ 282.2 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1.273 MB/s [ 310.8 IOPS] Sequential Read (T= 1) : 198.630 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 181.743 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 1.099 MB/s [ 268.3 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 1.231 MB/s [ 300.5 IOPS]

works well for backups, or moving large files from one location to another

Seagate Portable Hard Drive 4TB HDD - External Expansion for PC Windows PS4 & Xbox - USB 2.0 & 3.0 Black (STEA4000400)

Pros: small, no power supply needed, and its fast ~120MB/s transfer rates, see other for speed details.

Cons: doesn't come with any case or anything, just the drive and a short usb wire.

Overall Review: Using Crystal Disk Mark connected via USB 3.0: Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 126.947 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 119.512 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 3.124 MB/s [ 762.7 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 6.800 MB/s [ 1660.2 IOPS] Sequential Read (T= 1) : 132.769 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 115.773 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 2.950 MB/s [ 720.2 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 6.632 MB/s [ 1619.1 IOPS

SLOW shipper, device wont read codes

Autel MaxiScan MS300 OBDII Auto Diagnostic Scan Tool Code Reader
Autel MaxiScan MS300 OBDII Auto Diagnostic Scan Tool Code Reader

Pros: Small, simple device, will work on some cars, not all. Rather easy to clear codes. Worked on a 2004 Chrysler T&C van. Wont clear its codes though, just says "FAIL!".

Cons: Does not read P0455 code on 2008 Chevy Equinox. Just says "N/A". It will clear the code but wont show it. Had to take to repair shop to actually read the code. Seller has SLOW SHIPPING (TopLineTools). Took them 4 days to ship the item, while the other items I ordered that shipped from newegg shipped next day and I received those 3 items before this even shipped. PLEASE DELETE THE PACKAGE PHOTOS. This did not come in the package shown in the photo, just in an unpadded anti-static bag. Newegg, please screen your sellers.

Overall Review: I give it two eggs, it does work somewhat, but I'd save your money and buy one from a tool store with the name HF. This is a perfect case of you get what you pay for. I did only pay fifteen fifty for it though.

SMALL HEADS ONLY!

Arctic Cooling P253BT Bluetooth Headphones with Mic
Arctic Cooling P253BT Bluetooth Headphones with Mic

Pros: They sound good, actually surprised on sound quality for the price. Got for fifteen after rebate. Battery is good, but I only listen a couple hours at a time. They are easy to use, and the audio controls (next and previous) and volume controls on the right earphone is convenient. Range it pretty good, can walk around my house or office and they work fine, practical range is about 30 to 40 feet.

Cons: Small heads only. They have no adjustment so make sure to measure your head before buying these (See other thoughts).

Overall Review: Just like Jim from 9/3/13 said, don't consider these if your behind your head ear to ear measurement is over 11 inches. These fit fine on my wife, but not on me. They'd be great headphone only if they were bigger. Why cant they make them an inch or two bigger?? So on small heads they'd lay lower on your neck, but big deal? Adjustable would be better.

SLOW shipping

Product took 3 days before they shipped it. I ordered 4 items, 1 came from this company 3 came from newegg. I got all items from newegg before toplinetools even shipped my item. Did not come in packaging they show in their item photo, just came in a generic anti-static unpadded bag.
