This was way better than the first half of the story. I was pleasantly surprised that it was released so soon. Great job Mrs. Welch

Bought here and then found the exact same item for $20 at a garage sale, so I returned the Amazon one. This thing is great for quick and simple construction. It's easy to use once you read the instructions on how to adjust it. You have to buy their self tapping square drive screws, but they are worth it for the convenience of this jig. Good for new projects and for repairs. Would recommend for small to medium projects. They have an HD version for material larger than a 1.5".

I bought this to sew some car seat covers. I made the mistake of thinking that "heavy duty" would cut it but sadly it did not. I made mockups of the covers using vinyl instead of leather and this thing went through them without a moments hesitation, even when going over seams with 4 layers of material it kept going without a hiccup. The minute I introduced it to leather, even with a leather needle it packed up. I had a look at it and tried to fix it but to no avail. Not dispirited, I ordered another one from amazon as a replacement and that too packed up as soon as it met leather. It's a great reliable machine and performed flawlessly when sewing vinyl but make sure your interpretation of "heavy duty" are not the same as mine. There's a huge difference between heavy duty and industrial. Sadly this is reflected in the price point...

Great 42" TV at a great price! A much improved upgrade over our cheap black Friday Samsung 32" TV. I have regretted that TV from day one (horrible sound and extremely wobbly base) but have loved this TV. One of the best selling points for a TV in this price range is the sound. We are very impressed with the sound, especially compared to our other Samsung TV that just died. We live in student housing and cant afford a sound bar or speaker system, so a TV with good sound was a key factor and we watch a lot of movies. We can actually hear dialog during movies and the sound is clear. The base is very solid (although wide, make sure your TV stand is at least 36.5" wide). The color and picture is great on this TV. The grey boarder has a nice metallic finish to it as well. This TV is also pretty thin. Half the thickness of our 32" Samsung. Over all, I can recommend a better TV at this size and this price.
