It cleaned mirror surface A-ok and countertops fine. But definitely not as powerful as some of the other well-known cleaners like Formula 409, Lysol, etc. I had to use A LOT of the spray to get clean effect and it didn't seem to clean (I like to see a bit of suds or something so psychologically at least I feel it is cleaning!)  —...

I just don't use them the way they came. The adhesive part really disappointed me, it took off a chunk of plaster with the paint in my sons room... then in other places the hooks just fall off (I add super glue... shhh... don't tell the landlord). I have these hanging on the insides of my kitchen sink holding my bottle brush and dish rags. They're hanging on the sides of my cabinets that border my stove and hold my pot holders and measuring cups. I have one on the side of my dishwasher that I use to hold the hoses upright when not in use. Basically, I only use these in places that are okay to add superglue (tile, my personal items, and unfinished wood). The regular adhesive is too strong on paint, but not strong enough on tile, wood, or metal. — I don't want to completely give them a bad rep... I can't see how they could possibly still be in production if they always ripped pain and plaster off of the wall. It might be that my...

Some of these beasts are 800+ pages (Who does this??). — — After getting a Barnes and Noble gift card and wanting to buy more than just books to add to the collection, I saw that there were several bookstands available for sale. A little light bulb turned on that told me I should most definitely look into these since I often stay up into the wee hours of the night hovering under a giant book and scrambling in between the pages and layer of chaos to keep track of my homework. With a bookstand, I could just prop the thing up and have space to keep organized. — — This is exactly the case with the BookHug. It's just a little thing and if you didn't know what it was, you wouldn't. It's made of steel, I believe, and is just wonderful. It's small and easy to stow away when you don't need to have book...

Just roll it over what you need whited out and no need to wait for it to dry.  It stays put and no mess what so ever.  Cover a whole line in just one sweep.  — I think they were thinking of me when they made Bic white out correction tape. So easy to use, fast and no need to wait for it to dry.  No more liquid correction tape for this chick. — They even come in a selection of different workable tape holders.  The pen is my favorite. — ...

I am the type of person that really doesn't like wasting paper, and instead of having to print an entire page again, just because I made one typo, it is nice to have something that will allow me to make basic changes without resorting to tossing that first print. This is where one of Bic's better products comes in to play, and that is with Wite-Out Plus Correction Fluid. I am sure you have seen products like this before, but let me take a quick moment to explain how this one works. If you have printed out something, and you find that there was a misspelled word, you can use this wite-out to make a quick change. It comes in a small little bottle, with a lid that screws on tightly to not allow the fluid to spill when not in use. When you unscrew the lid, you see that attached to it is a little brush that...

The difference being that you never have to sharpen them, and that they are sturdier, and less apt to break than a wooden pencil. I remember using the Bic mechanical pencils as far back as when I was in high school, and that they were the really cool thing to have at the time. Sure mechanical pencils have come a long way since these were the top of the line, but the original Bics still hold a great place in both usability and functionality within the business world. — — These particular Bic mechanical pencils have clear barrels, allowing you to see inside the pencil to where the lead is being held. It isn't all that exciting though, because within the barrel is an inner wall that protects the lead from being broken during repeated drops. Though not perfect, the intent of the double wall is to keep movement of the lead pieces to a minimum...

It is the most handy thing to have there. I use it to hold all of the documents that I need to look at on a daily basis: pager list, school info sheet, school calendar, tax exempt letter, important memos, etc. All of these documents are just sitting right in front of me now. There's no clutter, no time lost looking for documents. All I have to do is flip, flip, flip until I find what I need. For documents that I have to take out (like the tax document that I have to fax often) there is no problem at all, the pockets are easy to load and unload. They come in 3 different styles: desktop, wall (good for those in cubicles), and arm (clip on the side of a desk). I would recommend this product to anyone that deals with a lot of papers....

I've washed marks out of my children's clothes numerous times. My kids love the bright colors and I've enjoyed seeing their creativity blossom. We picked these up at Wal-Mart for about 60 cents a pack. — The only drawback is that the caps must be put back on or they dry out. My kids don't always get that concept, but occasionally I'll pull out the marker bucket and we play the "draw a line with each marker and throw away the ones that don't write" game. — Well, another drawback is that it's a little challenging to wash off of skin. I think my four-year-old may want a tattoo when she's older. My 10-month-old sometimes looks like a tattoo if I'm not watching carefully enough. I haven't been arrested for taking them out in public that way if I didn't have time to scrub. — My Viewpoint: — Nice markers at a great price. —...
