What is a Cordless Impact Wrench?

A cordless impact wrench is most usually a battery powered tool designed to tighten a nut or other fixing, although other varieties do exist. An impact wrench works by using a motor to spin a mass inside the tool called a hammer. The hammer stores energy which is rapidly transferred to the drive shaft of the tool, which is called the anvil. The power transfer occurs very fast and is deliberately intermittent. Peak torque can be very high, but as this transfer process only occurs for a short period of time very little of the energy makes its way back to the tools operator.

What Designs are Available?

The usual design for a light industrial cordless impact wrench is very similar to that used in automotive designs. That is to say that it is a small torque gun style of product. The difference between a battery powered tool and one powered by compressed air comes from the fact that the power comes from a batter inserted into the base of the handle, rather than a compressed air line.

These pistol style impact wrenches are the more powerful of the cordless designs available, but for jobs where access is limited they can be too bulky to use and so another format is required.

Angle head cordless impact wrenches are used where there is a desire for mobility and increased flexibility of use. A typical tool in this class can offer a number of head positions, not just 90 degrees and so can be used in a variety of positions as demanded by the work environment.

What are the Advantages of a Cordless Impact Wrench?

Cordless power tools are generally less powerful that their corded cousins, there is no denying it, but the gain in flexibility of use is great. If work is to occur at a distance from a power source then a cordless tool is a huge help as all that is required is a few batteries and work can continue with minimal disruption.

Cordless impact wrenches are also safer in the workplace as they leave no dangling cables to trip over.

Angle head tools are designed for ease of use in tight working environments and generally come with their own LED lights as natural light is often restricted in these cramped environments. While these tools lack the power of more conventional pistol grip designs they do have exception reach due to their elongated design and narrow heads. The can be excellent additions to an automotive workshop for this reason alone.

While cordless impact wrenches will never replace heavier industrial units in terms of power there is no doubt that they do offer increased flexibility of working. Surely any workplace that values safety of the workforce should consider replacing old cabled tools with a safer alternative that is a cordless impact wrench?

Today cordless power tools are playing an increasingly large role in the work environment. A large part of this increase is due to the advances made in battery technology and lightweight motor construction. It pays anyone considering buying a cordless impact wrench to be up to date on recent advances and you can find a great source of this information at http://cordless-impact-wrench.com

Review Of Silk'n Combo Pack Home Laser Hair Removal System

Review of Silk'n Combo Pack Home Laser Hair Removal System

What comes to your mind when laser hair removal system is mentioned?  I'll tell you what comes to mine… a big deep chamber that you are locked in for six hours, and when you come out you look like one of those frazzled mice that they show on TV.

Imagine my surprise when I came across the Silk'n Combo Pack Home Laser Hair Removal System.  For one it's not a chamber, secondly it's hardly big enough for my little finger to fit in, also it can be used in minutes not hours.  How does that sound?

You must be thinking that this is one of those little gimmicks that are all razzle, dazzle and sizzle but no steak.  You couldn't be further from the truth.

What is Silk'n Combo?

What you get with this laser hair removal system is a tiny device that is a little larger than an electric shaving kit, and fits comfortably in your hand.  It is a cordless system and comes with a base for recharging.  It works by dispensing laser pulses that gets beneath the hair follicles and stop the hair from growing for long periods.

Treatment of a leg will take most people in the region of half an hour, while an armpit can be done in as little as five minutes.

It is a very viable alternative to the old ways of tackling hair such as; waxing, shaving and those odious hair removal creams.  Luckily it doesn't come with the hefty price tag associated with the laser hair removal systems that you get in salons.  These typically cost in the region of $700 per session.

The Silk'n Combo Pack Home Laser Hair Removal System can be used for tackling hair all over the body except the face.  It is not safe to use it on sun tanned skin either, and you have to wait an average of three to four weeks between treatments.  Other than that, there are no real limitations to the usage of the system.

From time to time, it is necessary to replace the bulb.  The system comes with two replacement bulbs to get you started, and after that you can get more supplies from any of the major retailers.

Like most electronic products, the system comes with manufacturers' warranty, and for greater peace of mind you can even get an extended warranty as well.

Clinical studies reveal that 80% of users achieve significant hair loss after only 3 months, and not surprisingly 90% of users preferred the system to visiting a salon for laser hair removal.

In terms of safety, it has been fully tested by top surgeons and dermatologists and satisfies the required safety standards.

Users of the device report a tiny heat sensation from the laser beam.  If you have hair that is thicker or darker than average, you might also experience slight discomfort, which goes away soon after you finish with the treatment session

It works best on darker hairs because they contain more melanin, which is the substance that absorbs the light energy from the laser beam.  So black and brown hair responds best to treatment from the device.  Results for red hair will vary.  It is not recommended that the device is used for white, blonde or grey hairs, since results are likely to be unsatisfactory.

The device also works very well on lighter skin, but it is not advisable to use it on darker skin because there is a high risk of burns and blisters.

Men as well as women can use the device, although men's hair might require longer treatment.

The device has been featured on ‘Good Morning America', ‘The Today Show', ‘Allure Magazine', ‘Medesthetics', Business Wire' to mention a few.

What are the benefits of Silk'n Combo?

Price

One of the greatest benefits of the device is the price.  While it might not appear cheap compared to some other alternatives, when you work out the cost over a period of say ten years, the cost of the device pales in comparison to the rest.

Ease of use

The applicator has a generous spot area of 6 cm2,and the interval between beams is only 3.5 seconds.  This makes for rapid treatment, and makes it possible for an armpit to be treated within five minutes.

Since you don't need to apply any creams or gels when using the device, there is very little mess left behind, and clean up is quick and easy.

Safety

This applicator uses a mere fraction of the energy consumed by other laser hair removal system.  This means lower electricity bills, but more importantly increased safety for users.  The energy levels are also adjustable, making it easy for each user to select a level that they are most comfortable with.

Your eyes are protected by a built in safety feature that prevents laser beams from being emitted when the device is facing you.

The skin is protected by lens, which are recessed inside the device and prevent direct contact with the skin.

What is my verdict?

For permanent hair removal with minimum fuss and discomfort, and at an affordable price to boot, the Silk'n Combo Pack Home Laser Hair Removal System certainly delivers on all fronts.

Can infant car seats rest on any stroller?

I've been looking at these Travel System stroller/car seat combo kits, and I haven't actually gone to the store yet. I'm just wondering, do you have to buy the travel system together, or could you buy the car seat and stroller separately? Would they still work together? I'm only asking because I thought I could ask for them as a baby shower gift. Instead of asking for the 170 dollar travel system. I'd ask for the 90 dollar stroller and 50 dollar car seat. That way two different people could buy cheaper gifts.

If the seat and stroller are the same brand, then yes, they will likely work together with one exception: The Graco SafeSeat does NOT work with all Graco strollers. The Graco SafeSeat is bigger than the Graco Snugride, and most Graco Strollers will fit the snugride, not the SafeSeat. You'd need to register for a graco stroller that specifically says it will fit the Safeseat if that's what you wanted. Steer clear of Evenflo infant seats!!! Very flimsy, constant recalls, and awful recall fixes. They just haven't mastered the art of infant carrier making yet.

The universal car seat carrier strollers can be a good idea, cheaper than a full size stroller and will fit most major brands of infant seats. Less bulk, too, in the trunk. Baby Trend makes one, so does Kolcraft and Combi.

Also, its worth noting that you don't HAVE to get an infant carrier car seat. They are nOT a required stage in car seats. Newborns can go home from the hospital in a rear facing convertible car seat. Convertible car seats last kids until their 2-4 years old (or longer) whereas infant carrier seats are outgrown at 4-7 months, and then you're out shopping for a car seat...again.

as a single parent on a seriously limited income, I now realize I should've completely skipped the infant carrier stage. Its not a 'needed' stage in car seats, its just a convenience thing, and a recent - as in the last 15 years or so - invention to have a stay in car base and separate carrier. Here's why I think its a waste: doesn't last babies very long at all. You spend $60 and up on this carrier that is only going to last 5-8 months! And then you have to purchase a convertible car seat, and somewhere down the line a booster seat. If you skip the carrier phase, you just eliminated one seat. There is now one carrier on the market that promises to fit 99% of babies up to at least their first birthday - Graco SafeSeat1, goes to 30lbs. However, there are limitations to this awesome seat. It really will fit most kids that long, but that's a catch-22. You really going to carry your 25lbs baby in a carrier?! My son was a BIG baby (still is a BIG kid!) and outgrew his carrier at 4 months. And, after baby gets above 10lbs or so, they are a pain in the butt to carry - quite awkward. So its not as convenient as it may at first seem. And some of the 'convenient' ways people use them aren't good.
Carriers should NEVER be placed on grocery carts. It makes the carts unstable and they can tip over, seriously injuring the baby. Also, not all car seats fit all carts, and they don't lock on, they're just sitting there, posing an obvious threat. And some of the carts are shaped or sized in a way that it puts the carrier at an unsafe/uncomfortable angle for the baby. I've seen babies laying in carriers on carts with their head lower than their feet - not a good idea for digestion or spit up.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says Parents and caregivers should never Place an infant carrier on top of the shopping cart. "Many infant-only car safety seats lock into shopping carts, and many stores have shopping carts with built-in infant seats. This may seem safe, but thousands of children are hurt every year from falling out of shopping carts or from the carts tipping over. Instead of placing your baby's car safety seat on the cart, consider using a stroller or front pack while shopping with your baby. "

Also, we are seeing rampant developmental delays becuase babies are in these carriers (and swings, and bouncy seats...) so much. Look around everywhere you go and instead of holding their babies, people have them in these carriers. When on their back and harnessed (and any time a child is in a carrier, he needs to be harnessed, even though its not in a car!) they can not work the muscles they need to develop to crawl, sit up, and walk. In the manuals for these carriers, it even says specifically 'for use in cars and strollers only'! But we all seem to miss that part.

So I highly recommend skipping the carrier phase. I think they are more a pain than a blessing, and a wasted of money if you don't have a lot to throw around. Instead, get a convertible car seat that will fit a newborn (more on that later) and a sling, pouch, or wrap. Not one of those silly snugli or infantino carriers, but something like a ringsling, moby, or maya wrap. Wearing your baby gives everybody what they need. Babies get much needed closeness to mom (or dad, or anyone else for that matter!) and you get your hands free to do what you need to do, as well as you can even breastfeed in one! They offer many different positions to use them in, too, and go higher than carrier car seat weights (20-22lbs). Most go to at least 35lbs, so you will get much more use out of it for your money.

OK - so if you choose to skip the carrier phase, be careful about the convertible car seat you choose, b/c not all will fit newborns well. You want it to have low bottom slots.
Perfect options:
The Evenflo Triumph Advance (not the original Triumph, make sure it says Advance) is a great seat. $150 version at Babies R Us has padding similar to Britax seats, top slots of 17", harnesses to 35lbs rear facing, and 50lbs forward facing. $120 Walmart version just has little less plush padding. Wide open belt path, easy to install, though it doesn't have built in lockoffs. The harness adjusts at the front of the car seat, you don't have to take the car seat out of the car just to raise/lower the straps. and it has infinite harness adjustment so the harness always fits perfectly until its outgrown. You tighten and loosen the harness using knobs on the side of the seat. It can be used in a recline position even in forward facing mode.

Cosco Scenera - $50 at Walmart/Kmart/Target. Great seat for the price. Goes up to 35lbs rear facing, 40lbs forward facing. Great rear facing seat, but is outgrown very quickly forward facing b/c of short top slots and short shell. You'll still get you're $50 worth out of it, though, as it will last most kids to at least 2 years, quadruple the amount of time of an infant seat!

As you're shopping, remember these rules about seats:
1)the BEST seat is the one that fits your child, fits your car, and will be used correctly 100% of the time. (This is why convenience features DO make a difference and ARE worth the money! If its easy to use, you're more likely to use it correctly.
2)Children should stay rear facing AS LNOG AS POSSIBLE!!!! The 20lbs/1 year rule is outdated and provides a bare minimum for turning kids forward facing. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration both recommend keeping kids rear facing as long as possible, up to the limits of their seat, preferably until at least 2 years of age. For good reason: A forward-facing child under 2 years old is 4 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a crash than a rear-facing child of the same age. A child's vertabrae do not fully fuse until 3-6 years old, before then, she is at great risk for internal decapitation. The spinal column can stretch up to 2 inches in a crash BUT the spinal cord can only stretch up to 1/4 inch before it snaps and baby is gone. In other countries, rear facing 2 - 3 - 4 year olds is standard, they understand that its safer.
3)Once you do turn them forward facing, they need to stay in a 5 point harness as long as possible. 4 years/40lbs is the minimum for riding in a booster, and most 4 year olds have no business using one yet. If they can't sit upright for an entire trip, they need the harness of a car seat still. And, even if they do sit properly, a 5 point harness is safer, so you want to keep them in one as long as possible. This is important to consider b/c most car seats only forward face to 40lbs.
If you choose to go with an infant seat I would pick the seat you (stay away from Evenflo infant carriers, too many recalls, crappy recall fixes, overall a very cheap seat) and get a universal car seat stroller like Baby Trend Snap n Go, Combi Flash EX, Kolcraft makes one, too. That way you can spend a little less, sell it when you're done, and get a higher end stroller that will last better.

WHY REAR FACING:
http://www.carseat.org/Resources/633.pdf
In the foreground is a forward facing seat, in the background a rear facing seat. You can see how much trauma the forward facing dummy has to endure. The rear facing child simply rides it out.

Here's another video. You can see how there is NO trauma to the baby, it simply sits there waiting for it to end.
