    What is The Best Way To Get Rid of Mice

    I ran across a similar thread on another forum today. Among the suggestions (besides cats and snakes) was the peppermint oil (make sure you get peppermint oil and not extract of peppermint), and these traps: <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007NY5CO/?tag=cpf0b6-20>. They're not a...

    Good cover of that song. R.I.P, Ronnie.

    Law enforcement duty belt, what do you carry?

    Re: Law Enforcement Duty Belt, What Do You Carry? Jeez, somebody else who not only remembers the SL-20, but remembers Kel-Lite, too. :thumbsup: I even have at least two pairs of Kel-Lite Firepower speedloaders for my Colt Python, and at least one pair for my Detective Special. Speaking of...

    Cerakote pics thread? All lights, brands, and shops... lets see them!

    Looks good. The first thing I thought of was the U.S. Coast Guard, although their "Racing Stripe" service mark is red instead of orange, and has a blue stripe in it, too.

    Could this be an 18650? (Cordless screwdriver)

    Thanks, Bill. I'm assuming you mean it would "not be compatible." And what LG LiCo cell are you referring to? The one I linked to says it's a Li-Ion. :confused:

    NiMH AA's hot after testing (+ terminal)?

    Thanks, Tom. I haven't run across it for awhile, so maybe it was just a transient thing. Maybe it blew out any "whiskers" inside those cells, and corrected itself. (Or I might have just imagined it. :duh2: )

    Law enforcement duty belt, what do you carry?

    :thumbsup: Exactly. I still remember the first time I "froze" somebody in the beam of my SL-20. Once I determined they were just a couple of guys taking a shortcut to the [enlisted] club, I was able to answer their "Hey, what kind of light is that" questions. And by that time, they were able to...

    Law enforcement duty belt, what do you carry?

    Still got my old Streamlight SL-20 (no X, P, or L), for which I just bought a new Streamlight holster, a new NiMH battery stick, SL35 lamp module, and an Empire charger. (<http://www.batteryjunction.com/empire-streamlight-charger.html>) Pros: Simplicity (two settings, Off and Full Blast); power...

    La Crosse Technology BC1000 reviews? Experiences?

    I'm not an engineer, either, I'm just trying to find out if the BC1000 has any big advantage over the (less expensive) BC700. Thanks for summarizing some of NLee's comparisons. (I've read all the Amazon reviews, especially his, but after awhile it's just too hard to decide which would be the...

    Laser flashlights. Hazardous to aircraft.

    As with firearms and a lot of other things, banning an inanimate object only hurts the people who don't do stupid stuff with said object. I think it's better to ban doing stupid stuff with anything, and if someone can't observe those rules, then they aren't allowed to possess a firearm, laser...

    Tenergy TN160 NiMH Charger

    Hey, this Inquiring Mind wants to know, too. I'm about to acquire some more AA NiMHs, probably in a "combo" deal with a smart charger, and I'm doing my research before shelling out any money. I have a C808M and I like it, but after reading some negative reviews about a couple of the AA/AAA C8XX...

    Could this be an 18650? (Cordless screwdriver)

    Black & Decker apparently no longer makes the Li3100 cordless screwdriver, and the only replacement part listed for it is the charger. (Which seems to be permanently on back order.) Luckily, I have two, one right at hand, the other one "somewhere." The screwdriver is supposed to be around 3.2...

    A few questions regarding night vision security cameras

    I know I'm late to this thread, but I just saw it while looking up something else. I own a lot of IR trail cameras (AKA game cameras or scouting cameras), and use them for surveillance. ALPG88 got it right: the 940nm LEDs are very low glow, or in some cases virtually invisible. Other cams tend...

    NiMH AA's hot after testing (+ terminal)?

    I had some older NiMH AA's that I ran through three conditioning cycles (all "soft" recharge) on my Maha MH-C808M. After the third cycle, I left them sitting for at least an hour before checking them with my ZTS MBT-1 tester. They weren't hot or even warm before testing, even when fresh out of...
