The Allen Tension Bar Bicycle Cross Bar Adapter Fits Most Bikes
January 1st, 2019
A fantastic way to get your bikes from place to place is a sturdy bike rack. A crucial piece of equipment to make this possible is a cross-bar that your bikes hang from while on the bike rack. A particular bar that is very stout and capable of putting the bike in its place is the Allen Tension Bar Bicycle Cross Bar Adaptor. Reports are that even at high highways speeds, like 70 mph, you can feel confident that even your expensive Trek will stay in place and you won’t see your bike tumbling down the road in your rear view mirror. There’s rubber coatings on both ends that prevents scratching your bike’s sleek finish.
The tension bar expands to any size bike, (woman’s, child’s, or youth’s bike onto a standard hitch mount bike rack) which is nice if you’re a female and have a smaller sized bike. The resize mechanism is quite easy, takes only a few seconds and then you’re ready to load the bike onto your rack. It’s a well constructed unit (internal spring keeps your bikes secure) and designed to last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a quality cross bar that fits nearly any bike size, this Allen Cross Bar exceeds on a lot of points and you should dig it!

This Red KitchenAid Can Opener Is A Heavy Duty Manual Can Opener
December 26th, 2018
The KitchenAid Company guarantees a hassle-free refund or replacement policy on the back of the can opener packaging. In the online user reviews I read, there are people who have tried-out this guarantee to see if the company lives up to their claims. They do. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong buying a product that can be replaced if it malfunctions. The KitchenAid manual can openers come in two different styles. Unfortunately, some of the user reviews online seem to be confusing openers so that it is hard to tell exactly which reviews are relevant this Kitchenaid can opener and which one should be disregarded.
The KitchenAid Company produces a lesser-quality red manual can opener that is sold in sets of kitchen utensils. The red can opener that I’m reviewing today is a very heavy-weight workhorse of a product. Every home should have more than one can opener available for all types of emergencies. Normally, a manual can opener can last for many years when it is taken care of properly. Can openers are hand washables that should not be put through the strains of constant dishwashing in a machine. The gentle washing in a sink helps to keep the gear-teeth in alignment so that the cans will always open smoothly. The KitchenAid Can Openers are available in red or black and are designed to be a modern easy-to-use can opener in a retro type of styling.

The Accurate Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter
December 14th, 2018
Finally, there is a soil moisture meter that take the guesswork out of figuring out when it is the right time to water your lawn, flowers and plants. The correct soil moisture is one of the most important factors for a healthy plant growth. The Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter is extremely easy to use, simply insert the meter probe into the soil by testing the soil’s moisture. The display clearly reads a 1 to 10 scale system that that will indicate if the plant needs water immediately, needs water soon, has perfect moisture or has been over-watered. This gives you invaluable aid for maintaining the correct moisture levels for healthy plant growth.
For proper use, push the probe down in the soil to about two thirds of the depth of the container and about halfway between the edge of the pot and the stem of the plant. Avoid pushing the probe near the stem as much as possible. It comes with a guide on the watering needs for a large variety of plant life. Best of all, you won’t have to check the top of the soil with your finger, assuming the plant or lawns needs more moisture and killing it with over-watering!

Pest Control
Live Ladybugs Are An Effective Chemical Free Pest Solution
December 10th, 2018
If you are having a bad aphid problem in your garden or backyard, than you might want to consider a chemical free and natural pest solution. Enter the favorite “good bug” commonly called the ladybug. The ladybug has been a popular and well researched beneficial insect over 20 years. The beauty of this bug is that when released around sunset, (required because ladybugs don’t fly at night), they will start munching on aphids, scale insects, leaf hoppers, mealybugs, and mites throughout most of the growing season. As they reduce the destructive pests they will be laying down their own eggs around the garden.
Each generation of new live ladybugs will be ready to arrive just as new pests show up in your garden. When purchasing the Coccinellids (ladybugs) a bag of of these insects will be rushed delivered to your door with most of the critters likely surviving the trip. You should notice as you release them from the bag that they will naturally crawl up and towards the light. Most recommend that they should be released in small groups at the base of place plants and shrubs. Within a couple days you should see a big reduction in the destructive pest population and hopefully healthier garden or yard.

Hot Wheels Color Shifters Is Like A Miniature Water Park
December 6th, 2018
Kids love Hot Wheel cars, and they really love the color transforming “Color Shifter” cars! This play set makes changing the car color not only easy but loads of fun. It comes with one car that changes from icy blue to green, but others can be purchased for use with this toy. The base has dunk tanks to dip the cars into hot or cold water making the cars’ paint transform. There is a spray gun and special shielded area for squirting the cars and watching them switch color. Constructed from sturdy, durable plastic. Even though water collects in a basin beneath the platform, the Hot Wheels Color Shifters is best played with outside for worry-free action.
After transforming the colors, the car can be shot down the curved track on the Hot Wheels Color Shifter Blaster to race away from the base. One parent suggests equipping the kids with small paintbrushes so they can make intricate designs on the car. Parents note that luke-warm water will change the color, but to change it back requires icy cold water. They also note that the color shifting ability temporarily wears out after about a half hour of play. The cars just require a rest, so it is a good idea to have several cars. Several reviewers say an adult needs to be on hand for making frequent trips for hot and cold-water refills.
