A Bicycle Air Horn That Is Impressively Loud And Effective
November 13th, 2016
Bicycles are vehicles, too! If anyone on the road has forgotten this fact, the Dealt Airzound Bicycle Horn will surely remind them. The Delta Airzound bicycle air horn secures tightly to any handlebar and when triggered releases a 115dB blare. Considering a car horn is, on average, 110dB and a jet engine is 120dB, Delta Airzound ensures a cyclist’s safety on the road. Best of all, no batteries or additional parts are required; the air reservoir can be quickly refilled by any bicycle pump. In 2005 alone, 784 American cyclists died and an additional 500,000+ were injured while riding. A proper horn can prevent accidents.
Most of these accidents, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission were caused by other motorists. From these statistics, it is clear a bike bell is not enough as the dinky noise cannot be heard by motorists. One cyclist commuter explained, “the horn is inconspicuous on my handlebars and is exactly what I need to get the attention of the driver pulling into my lane with their windows closed and radio blaring!” Delta Cycle has been developing practical cycling products for more than two decades and this product exemplifies the superior quality Delta requires of its products while safeguarding cyclists from everyday dangers.

The Weber Smokey Joe Grill Is An Excellent Table Top Charcoal Grill
October 30th, 2016
As summer wears on and millions of Americans fire up the grill over and over again, the debate rages between charcoal and propane. Old fashioned folks will tell you nothing beats charcoal for the smoky flavor and great taste it adds to anything it cooks. Others will say the efficiency and ease of use that come with a propane grill can’t be topped. The Weber Smokey Joe Gold Charcoal Grill puts the debate to rest though, crowning charcoal as the true champion. Nothing beats a charcoal grill for tailgating or camping grilling needs and the Weber Smokey Joe Grill is the best around. The grill features a wide 14 1/2 inch cooking grate.
With this cooking surface it can handle three steaks at a time or six burgers, perfect for any tailgating situation. The lid and bowl are triple sealed to prevent the elements from rusting them, and to deliver even heat during cooking. Best of all, the lid features locks on each side to enable easy transport of the grill from car to campsite and back again. The lid locks, when not in use, even double as wind shields to help improve performance in poor conditions. While a handful of consumers have found the ventilation on the Weber Smokey Joe Gold subpar compared to older models, the vast majority love how easy it is to transport the grill from place to place and find its long life to be a major plus.

The Victorinox Kitchen Knife Is A Contender For The Best Chef Knife
October 21st, 2016
When you step into your kitchen and begin chopping or dicing or peeling, you want a knife that works and works well. With the Victorinox Chef Knife, the makers claim that you can feel like a professional from the comfort of your own home. In 2004, Cooks magazine rated the Victorinox Fibrox chef knife the “best overall” knife. Taking top honors compared to models from Wusthof and Henckel, this knife beat those of a similar price range and value. It hasn’t been outright claimed as better than the other two, or other similar knives, nor has the craftsmanship been stated as better, but overall it can stand up to the same tasks.
The blade is not a hand-forged single piece, but rather, cut from a blank steel ribbon. This makes it light weight compared to other expensive models. The blade is very sharp and the handle is composed of a material which allows you to hold the knife firmly from an awkward position or if it is wet. The handle contains rivets which make it easier and more comfortable to hold, compared to solid colder handles. The handle is also contoured so you are able to move your hand toward the blade if you want better control of the blade. The blade contained a rocked contour which allows for easier chopping and dicing.
