My last IQ doorbell stopped working correctly after an electrical outage at our house. Tried a couple of "off brand" manufactures, but they did not work. Connected this one & it immediately started to work with the existing system. Looks great and was worth the shipping fees.
These are amazing! They fit perfectly in my sink. Snug fit. Easy to remove. The stopper fits perfectly. You just have to make sure it's in straight. Holds water in the sink great. Doesn't get bumped out while washing dishes and is easily remove. These are a God sent!!

We camp every summer and have used cardboard to protect our sharp knives and our fingers, but have had multiple close calls (from getting cut). So we purchased the 4-piece set of these blade guards and are impressed the safe, non-slip design. The blade does not rattle in an enclosed shell, but rather is held snuggly in the case by two tight pads on both sides of the blade (4 total pads, see photo). Another reviewer mentioned that the guard is hard to open, but that is because the blade is held tightly, which we like. If you are looking to protect your knives (and your fingers!), buy these guards. KB

Easy and effective!
These are probably among the easiest and most effective garden tools that you can use. They store easily, they install easily, they perform great--making it easy to water, keep out bugs and weeds and increase your yield with no chemicals. I only used them for my tomatoes this year, but next year, will use them for other plants as well. My tomatoes are in raised beds and they are thriving and full of fruit thanks to the craters!
Also - you can't beat the customer service at FLI. They are responsive, quick to ship and very customer centered. All in all, a great find.
The first photo below shows two of my plants just after planting and adding the craters. The other three are recent photos.

Love these two piece tomato craters
I just bought nine more craters, giving me a total of 30 craters that I use for my tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and marigolds. I love them. They help water nicely, clean up and store nicely in the winter and best of all they go around the plant easily because they come in half and go back together easily. I use a drip irrigation system and put a drip emitter in to each side of the crater

Awesome product
This is exactly what I needed! I raise rabbits outside and supplement their lighting in the winter time. The lights are plugged in all the time and under their roof hutch but I was worried about the plug getting wet in the rain and now still. This protects the connection and my rabbits also. I love that you can extend it to fit longer connections as well. Thank you!!!
