Earlex HVLP 3000 review5

Excellent product, excellent after purchase support. I used the sprayer to put the top coat on 2 oak cabinets I built. Finish is perfect. The sprayer is easy to use with minimun adjustment. I need some additional information. Earlex came through via e-mail quickly and with great detail. I also needed to get an additional spray nozzle which I got from Earlex in a few days. I cannot say enough about the product and the support. Great job Earlex. Thanks


Good tool for the price.4

I bough this tool for a variety of projects around my house, specifically painting about 14 doors. I am a remodeling contractor by trade and have used a conventional airless sprayer many times in the past but the mess and overspray were always troubling. My business no longer invloves painting but I was looking for a neat and efficient way to paint all the doors in my own house plus a variety of other small projects. Brushing 14 doors just wasn't going to happen. So far the results are better than one might expect for a tool of under $200.



Right away I found that the paint (I have sprayed both latex and oil so far) MUST be thinned A LOT. So much that you may question doing so, but paint that is not thinned enough will come out of the sprayer chunky and make for a poor finish. Follow the manufacturers instructions... use the included viscosity cup and you'll be in good shape. Be sure to filter the paint, again as noted in the instructions. Since this is a large orifice sprayer, any dirt in the paint will come out thru the tip and onto your work. Use Penetrol or Floetrol as opposed to water or paint thinner. Your finish will lay down flatter and cover better with these additives. Clean up is a snap since no paint goes thru the motor. Disassemble the gun, wash the cup and the gun parts and you're done cleaning in about 5 minutes. Overspray is a fraction of what you get with an airless sprayer since there is no bounceback with a low pressure sprayer like this.



All in all a great tool for a homeowner/DIY'er, especially at this price. Probably not ideal for a contractor or heavy duty user. If you can't justify 500-700 dollars or more but need to get some painting done you'll be happy with this tool.


Earlex 30005

As a hobbyist, I've so far found the Earlex 3000 to be the perfect spray system. I have used it for water-based stain and Polyacrylic finish with great results. The system is easy to use and easy to clean. It's completely self-contained and takes up little storage space in my small shop.

A superb value5

I was all set to rent a pro unit to paint my garage, when I saw a deal on a reconditioned 770. Based on previous experience with Wagner consumer spray guns, I was doubtful, but ordered it anyway. And I'm very glad I did.



Unlike the little hand-held diaphragm sprayers, this gun is light, easy to handle, and puts out a huge volume of paint with no spitting or dribbling. It easily handled the heavy acrylic latex I used on my garage.



The gun supplied with this sprayer is a professional unit, and the pump puts out as much paint as a lot of commercial grade painters. After spending perhaps a half-hour taping and masking, I had my entire garage painted in less time than it took to do the prep!



Cleanup was maybe another half hour, and simple, using the Wagner cleaning and lube solution, if you carefully follow the instructions in the booklet. Hint: After you pour out excess paint in the hopper, use a squeegee to get that lest bit back into the bucket, rinse it with water, and use heavy-duty paper towels to get the last bits out. Then fill the hopper with cleaner, flush, and lube.



One hint: You absolutely want to install a swivel on the gun before using this unit- it's inexpensive, and makes handling the gun much, much easier.


So far so good4

The equipment looks like new. I had been using this for about a month to paint everything I can and the sprayer give a incredible finish. When I read the manual, it seems to me that the cleaning process will be real complex, but actually is very very easy.

Rockwell Sonicrafter Review by Customer


Rockwell Quality5

OMG, the Rockewell SoniCrafter is great. I was looking for a corded oscillating tool and looked at the Fein Multitasker and blades, but it is just way too expensive to purchase for my needs. So I bought the Dremel and the Rockwell to compare side by side...



The $100 Dremel is lighter and a bit smaller but the buzz the motor makes compared to the Rockwell motor [a little bit heavier and slightly bigger] which humms smoothly is like comparing a Vespa scooter to a Victory street bike.



Since the basic Rockwell is only $20 more than the Dremel and the extra blades are about the same price, there was no question about going for the quality/durability of a Rockwell.



The only convenience problem that I can foresee is getting replacement blades:

Dremel is carried by big box hardware stores; hobbyists who do crafts on the spur of the moment and do not need to rip open walls, will appreciate the around-the-corner convenience.

Rockwell is carried by speciality woodworking stores or the internet; the Home Proj. kind of guys have to plan ahead before ripping into a wall for remodeling. So ordering parts in advance should be a no brainer.



I also really liked the Rockwell case, it is created with niches and screw-downs to hold lots of blades/attachments in place.



I looked at the Bosch 12v battery operated version, and that would have been a good choice but I do not want to have numerous 18v tool systems and chargers for the various power hand tools that I use. I read that the Bosch delivers 20 min of battery power and I might need more time than that between charges.



All four tools mentioned above have variable speeds pretty much the same: 10,000 - 21,000 opm. The Bosch details that I read boasted of 5,000 - 20,000 opm, but I do not know if I need to go that slow. If I did I would have researched more into the rare Praxon version of oscillating tool, which is reportedly underpowered and equivalent to size and weight of the Dremel.


Does a Great Job!5

I had looked at the Fein Multimaster, but couldn't justify the price. I bought the Sonicrafter specifically to sand between the rails of a baby crib I built for my daughter. This tool will see as much use as my random orbital sander! It's very well made, and does a superb job. A couple of experiential comments: 1. The tool is a fast worker, let IT do the work for you. 2. The dust collection attachment gets in the way, and is useless. 3. I haven't found a source for sanding pads that fit, except Rockwell, and they're relatively expensive.

An excellent value in an electric blow and vac5

I bought this Toro electric blow and vac in utter frustration after spending a small fortune on similar gasoline powered products. I use it as a vac several times per week and even daily in the Fall. I found that the very cheap gasoline blow and vacs start falling apart very quickly indeed as the result of poor and shoddy design so I moved up to the top of the line, Echo, which appears to be very well made and engineered. My first one, an ES211, did outlast its 2 year warranty, it had a starter assembly and cord replaced under warranty but then just wore out during the third year. The second ES211 lasted 18 months until something broke inside the engine and it wouldn't even rotate. The third one (a $290+tax ES231 heavy duty model) is just over a year old and overheats very quickly, smokes badly, and is melting the plastic grill surrounding the engine.

The dealers lie and tell me that it's my fault and that the problem is lack of lubrication. As a lifelong, now retired, professional mechanical engineer and having owned 2-stroke engines since a teenager I have always used the correct gas/oil mixture in 2-stroke engines including motorcycles of course.

The Toro Ultra Blower and Vac does everything I need. Let's list the advantages. It is amazingly light and doesn't strain your back lugging its bulk plus a heavy bag of leaves around the way a gas powered model does - this is very important and not to be dismissed as you get up in years. It always starts when you turn the knob - you sure can't say that about gasoline powered garden equipment. It converts from a blower to a vac very quickly without needing a screwdriver and undue force - Toro obviously corrected this problem from the prior model. It is very quiet compared with gas models - your neighbors will appreciate this. It doesn't have a spark plug or an air filter that needs frequent attention. It doesn't get dirty, grimy, and oily from gasoline exhaust and leaky carburetors and tubing. You don't have to buy expensive gasoline and oil and be required to mix and find a place to store a separate highly inflammable gas/oil mixture. The Toro has a cast magnesium impeller that handles the occasional twig or stone quite handily. The leaf bag is well designed, it disconnects easily and is a snap to empty. The vac suction and air blast from the blower seems equivalent to the Echo. Last but not least is P R I C E , my Toro was $69.99, at that price I could buy four of them for the price of one Echo ES231.

Now for the only disadvantage I can think of. I use a 100 ft. 13amp. electric cord and reel. You sacrifice some ease of mobility because you have a cord dragging behind you all of the time - nothing in life is perfect I guess.

The Best Swimming Drill to Do Before a Race Or Competition

There is one swimming drill which will dramatically improve your technique, power and feel for the water if you practice it prior to a race or competition. This drill easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes each session. In this article, I'm going to explain to you how best to perform it and how often, and why it increases a swimmers power and feel for the water when practiced prior to a competition. The drill I'm talking about is sculling.

When I was a little kid, sculling was one of the the first things I was taught after I'd learnt the basics of floating, kicking and breathing. At the time, it felt like sculling wasn't a beneficial exercise and I was never told why we did it. After 12 years, I finally discovered why it's such an important drill to do, especially in the week leading up to a race.

Before an important race or competition, swimmers will taper for 5-10 days. Tapering means to reduce the volume of training so the body can rest and recover in order to perform at it's peak. When swimmers00000904 taper they become prone to losing the 'feel' of the water because they have gotten so used to swimmer regularly. As they taper they swim less and their body can find it difficult to 'remember' the correct technique. Sculling is the solution to this.

'Front scull' is the most common sculling technique. It is performed on the front with the swimmer facing the bottom of the pool. The swimmer should put their arms in front of their head and scull in and out with their hand and forearm in a sweeping motion. The hands should be bent downwards slightly at the wrist in order for the swimmer to move forward. The upper arm should remain still while the forearm is moving side to side. During the out sweep the thumbs should be facing down and during the in sweep the thumbs should be facing up. Depending on a swimmers ability, they may want to do this drill with fins if they are a beginner. Amateurs should do the drill without fins and more advanced swimmers should use a pull buoy to isolate the arms.

Sculling is important because allows the swimmer to become familiar with the initial catch position of the stroke they are practising for. In 'front scull', the sculling is performed at the initial 'catch' position of the freestyle, butterfly and breaststroke strokes. By getting the initial catch correct in these strokes, it sets up the swimmer for a powerful pull through and helps overall with their stroke.

Practising sculling in training and leading up to a competition can help a swimmer maintain the all important 'feel' for the water. 'Front scull' helps a swimmer practice the correct position for the initial catch in freestyle, butterfly and breaststroke. This is vitally important so the swimmer can develop power in their stroke. Sculling is a simple drill to perform which if practiced for a few minutes each training session, can greatly improve a swimmers 'feel' for the water.

Youth Football Quarterback Drills To Improve Your Passing Techniques

I am a former NFL Quarterback, and I have some great quarterback training drills to talk about today. These youth qb drills will help improve mobility, ball security and their response to various situations that come up in the course of a game.

Drill #1. Globetrotter

This is an excellent drill for ball security. Quarterbacks work the football in a circular motion around their head, under their arms, around their waist, around their knees, around each knee, weaving through their legs and finally "playing catch" between their legs.

The coach shout commands of which body part the ball revolves around--usually starting with the head and working downwards. Coaches also shout the command "reverse" which changes the direction the ball is rotating. This should be done numerous times.

The drill concludes with five 'drops'--the quarterback dropping the ball and then grabbing it. This is done with five drops with the power hand and five drops with th00000AEFe off- hand.

Drill #2. Toss sweep and option drill

Set up a line of quarterbacks holding footballs with the coach in the "Running/Pitch Back" position. The coach should be in a position behind and off to the side of the quarterback--where a running back would be receiving a toss sweep or an option pitch.

The quarterback faces away from the coach/running back in a position where he would be taking a snap from center. Quarterback reverses out and executes a toss sweep to the coach. (This simulates either a toss sweep or a quick pitch play.)

You then move to the other side until all have executed the pitch. Then the beginning quarterback again executes the pitch to the coach and all other quarterbacks follow till all have executed a pitch both to the right and to the left.

Now the quarterback executes an option pitch in the same manner. If the type of option your team runs has an inside or outside veer dive fake then this can be simulated in the drill by the quarterback. In the option phase of the drill the coach yells "pitch" and the quarterback breaks down and executes a pitch stepping towards the "pitch" man/coach.

Drill #3. Knee drill

Two quarterbacks start with their right knees on the ground, facing each other ten yards apart. One quarterback has a ball on the ground next to his right leg. The quarterback picks up the ball with his power hand, puts the ball to his ear with his off- hand also on the ball and throws it to his partner quarterback across from him. The partner QB catches the ball, places it on the ground and does exactly the same thing throwing the ball back.

The quarterbacks continue playing catch in this manner while the coach helps them with the finer points of their throwing techniques: leading with the throwing elbow, ball at ear and pointing first with wrist and then index finger upon release of the ball.

Drill #4. Three and Five Step drop and wave drill

Two quarterbacks start (one with a ball) facing each other 15 yards apart. The coach stands about seven yards from the quarterback with the ball. Quarterback with the ball faces the coach in an "under center" position.

The coach gives a command and the quarterback executes a three- step drop with his feet "chopping/firing" on his third plant step. The coach then gives visual directions with his hands (such as improving quarterback focus by keeping eyes forward)00001D81 and the quarterback executes a wave drill moving right, left, forward and back.

The quarterback with very short choppy steps only moves 2-3 feet in the drill in each direction. The last command by the coach is to "throw" to the partner. The coach then turns around and executes the drill with the partner quarterback.

Key points of emphasis:

  1. Stand tall.
  2. Qb's must make a very quick in his drop and with his foot movement.
  3. Make sure your head is constantly forward the entire time watching the coach. Once completed, the drill can also be executed for a five or seven- step drop.

Drill #5. Boot/Sprint out and throw

Two quarterbacks start (one with a ball) facing each other 10 yards apart but staggered so one quarterback is 15 yards to the right of the quarterback with the ball. The coach stands roughly equidistant between both quarterbacks.

The quarterback with the ball faces forward in an "under center" position. On the coaches' command the quarterback executes a bootleg, faking a handoff to his left, and then bootlegging to his right and throwing the ball to his partner quarterback. The quarterback who just completed the throw returns to his original position. The coach turns around and has the partner quarterback execute the drill.

Once the boot phase is completed the quarterbacks complete the drill using sprint out techniques. Then both quarterbacks move ten yards up field and turn around so they can execute the drill to the left side. This continues until the coach determines a sufficient amount of repetitions have been completed.

Drill #6. Throw on the run drill

Two quarterbacks face each other 15 yards apart with one quarterback having a ball. As the quarterback with the ball begins "running" towards his partner, the partner backpedals. The quarterback with the ball throws the ball to his partner.

As his partner catches the ball he now begins to run forward with the other qbnow back peddling. The qb run and backpedal as they play catch with the football until the coach determines a sufficient amount of repetitions have been completed.

Summary

In all of these drills the coach is working with the qbs on perfecting their techniques in throwing, executing a toss sweep or option pitch and establishing proper footwork. Special attention to the focus of the eyes and footwork in these drills will do a great deal to improve the efficiency and quickness of the qb's.

Basketball Tryout Drills

One of the hardest things for coaches and players to go through is tryouts. Coaches dont like to cut players and players certainly dont like being forced to prove they are worthy of being on a basketball team. Worst of all players dont like not making a team.

However, basketball tryouts are necessary when there are more players than a team can feasibly keep on its roster. So, to help coaches make their decisions and to help players prove what they can do, there are a few useful basketball tryout drills.

First of all, everything that happens during practice while tryouts are being conducted should be a tryout drill for the coach, even if the players dont realize it. A coach should be looking for kids who are coachable and want to play and improve on the basketball court. Therefore, a coach should always be watching and grading his/her players on how they treat their peers, how hard they try each and every second, and how well they listen and apply what theyve been told.

While ability and performance arent everything on a basketball court, they do mean a great deal. Therefore, basketball tryout drills do need to be conducted in practice. These drills should test players in every facet of the game. Three great basketball tryout drills are the Rebound and Outlet Drill, the Power Lay-up Drill, and Scrimmaging.

The Rebound and Outlet Drill is a drill that requires a player to toss the ball up off the backboard. The player must then jump as high as possible, grab the rebound, come down, pivot, and zip an outlet pass to the coach. This drill tests a players leaping ability, his/her ability to rebound, a players athleticism, and his/her ability to make a good, crisp pass.

Another one of the good basketball tryout drills requires players to make power lay-ups. For this drill a player will dribble the length of the floor at top speed and try to make a lay-up without slowing down. This drill tests a players dribbling ability, his/her ability to 00004000make a lay-up at top speed, and a players body control.

A coach can devise many different basketball tryout drills that will test the abilities of players. However, the best measure of how good a player may be is to let the player go out and play basketball. During tryouts a team should spend plenty of time scrimmaging and letting the players play basketball. Thats the best way to find out which players can play basketball and which players cant play basketball.

For players and coaches basketball tryouts can be exciting and very stressful. However, they are usually necessary in order to cut a team down to a manageable number of players. Thats why its also necessary to have the players take part in basketball tryout drills. There should be a variety of factors that coach considers including but not only how a player performs during the drills. Three great drills that will help a coach decide which players to keep are the Rebound and Outlet Drill, the Power Lay-up Drill, and Scrimmaging.
