Panasonic eyc140 kit review

Earlier this year Panasonic released there lithium line of power tools including the new Panasonic 7440 Li-ion Drill Driver. The Panasonic 7440 has been selling like hot cakes since its release, so I thought I’d follow the crowd and buy one for home.


Panasonic are like the power tool industries best kept secret. Most of Joe Public think they just make big plasma TV’s and Hi Fi’s, but not professional level power tools! However as the more astute know Panasonic do indeed make power tools, yet unlike every other manufacturer, they only make cordless tools.


Panasonic don’t broadcast the fact they manufacture tools, so that makes you wonder why they sell so many. It would appear to be because they are actually very very good.


When I was buying the Panasonic 7440 I noticed there Panasonic also did a combo kit of the 7440 and a 7540 Li-ion Impact Driver for not much more money than the Drill on its own called the EYC140. Having been a huge fan of impact drivers for years I decided to buy the kit.


Last weekend I used both the drill driver and the impact driver to replace the banister on the staircase in my new renovation project. Let’s see how well they performed.


The old banister was held on to the post at the top of the stairs with 3 long wood screws. The house is from the Georgian era, and looking at the condition of they stairs, so are they. The impact driver whizzed 2 of the screws out no problem, however the third one was sheared by a combination of the power of the 7540 and the age of the screw.


Having elegantly removed the old banister, with a combination of the impact driver and a big hammer, I set about in my work installing the new one. Perhaps not the most heavy duty of jobs drilling pilot holes into pine, but the 7440 performed well, letting me complete all the work require of it in one charge. You have to love Lithium Ion.


After a brew, I finished the work installing the new banister and set about finishing off the job.


All in all the Panasonic kit performed really well on this job and I think it was a great purchase. think the only downside of the kit is the 7440 is a dill diver not a hammer drill, so masonry will be a problem for future jobs. That said I do own a Makita HR2470 SDS, so I would no doubt use that.


In summary I would recommend the EYC140B kit to anyone, needing a new cordless drill driver, as it basically comes with a free impact driver. If you already have a hammer drill or a combi, get this kit. However if your going to be drilling into masonry often you would perhaps be better looking else where, such as the Makita LXT202.


The Makita LXT202 is also a lithium kit, however is a more powerful 18v. It includes the BHP451 Combi Drill and a BTD140 Impact Driver. However the LXT202 is usually around Ј50 more expensive than the EYC140.

Vinyl decking treat yourself to the best deck around

The most important ingredient in vinyl decking is PVC, which stands for polyvinyl chloride. Manufacturers of this type of decking material add titanium dioxide to the mix so that the vinyl won’t yellow and so that it has UV protection. There are also other specialized components added so that the vinyl material can withstand the weather and heavy loads. When you look at what vinyl decking has to offer, one brand name to consider is Georgia decking.


Georgia vinyl decking comes in many different colors, which includes a color that closely simulates wood with grains running through it. The main difference between vinyl decking and wood is that the vinyl is very long lasting. Chances are you will be passed on long before the vinyl decking material wears out. This is something that you can say about wood. With vinyl as your choice of decking material, you don’t need to paint of stain the material to get the color that you want. The color is built right into the vinyl.


Many people, especially homeowners in Georgia, wonder about how vinyl decking reacts to changes in temperature and weather. It is normal for vinyl to contract and expand with changing temperatures, but even in cold weather vinyl decking material will not crack unless you put a tremendous amount of pressure on it. Georgia vinyl decking has the low maintenance that you want in a deck so that once you install it, you never have to do more than clean it as long as you have it.


Even white vinyl decking will not yellow under the bright glare of the sun. This is one of the questions that retailers of Georgia vinyl decking get asked quite often. Although you may notice a slight fading in the first three months, this is the natural process of the vinyl adapting to the conditions of the environment. Another interesting feature of vinyl decking material is that it will not ignite unless fire is held to it directly. However, as soon as you take the fire away, the vinyl will extinguish itself.


Although it is not recommended, you can paint vinyl decking if you wish. It is important for you to know that if you choose to do this, you will void any warranty associated with the vinyl decking material and you will have to keep doing it year after year. This kind of defeats the purpose of having low maintenance Georgia vinyl decking if you are going to paint it. It doesn’t take very much work on your part to keep the vinyl decking clean either. Simply hose it off and if you need to, you can use a mild detergent. Dirt, grime and stains will wash right off.

Straightening your teeth may be good for your health

Straightening your teeth can work wonders on your smile, but did you also know it may help lower your risk of developing serious diseases?


"Crooked, crowded or unevenly spaced teeth are harder to keep clean and tend to harbor more food and bacteria," said Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, an orthodontics specialist in New York. "This can lead to an increase in plaque and bacteria in the mouth which can cause decay and periodontal disease, a bacterial infection of the gums, bone and periodontal ligament that can enter the blood stream, travel to major organs and cause systemic complications."


According to the American Academy of Periodontology, gum disease may contribute to the development of heart disease; increase the risk of stroke, premature birth and low birth weight; and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes, respiratory diseases or osteoporosis.


Properly aligned teeth can help keep plaque and tarter from building up. Plaque and tarter are known causes of gum disease. Straight teeth help gums "fit" tighter around them and also make it easier to brush and floss, which leads to better gum health.


With today's advances in orthodontic technology, straightening crooked teeth is easier and less noticeable than ever before.


Invisalign, for instance, is a popular technique that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, clear and removable aligners. Clinical studies show that gum health may improve using Invisalign over other forms of teeth-straightening techniques. Because there are no brackets or wires to worry about, patients can take out their "braces" after meals to brush and floss.


Additional health benefits of straightening teeth include improved chewing and speech and less stress on supporting bone and jaw joints.

Let a specialist help you when it comes to a car loan for used cars

When looking for a car loan for used cars the best way to make sure that you have got quotes from the best UK lenders is by going online to a specialist website and let them search on your behalf. A specialist website is by far the easiest and quickest way as they will do the searching based on the information you give them and then you will be able to take your time to read the key facts of the loans and decide which the best for your circumstances is.


While the specialist website will be able to find you the cheapest car loan for used cars you do have to do a little work for yourself! You will have to first decide how much you can afford to realistically pay for the loan and how long you wish to take the loan over. In order to be able to get the cheapest rate of interest for your loan your credit rating should be excellent, if it is then you will benefit from the cheapest and most competitive rates of interest. However even if your credit rating is low then you could still be able to get a loan even if it is a bad credit loan and a specialist website will still be able to get you the best deal possible for your circumstances. It can help if you check out your credit rating yourself before looking for a loan, by doing so you will be able to get a rough idea of where you stand.


You do have to set yourself a budget before using a specialist website to find you quotes, and when looking for a car loan for used cars it is essential to remember that the longer you take the loan over then the more interest you will pay for the loan. Cars do depreciate in value and a used car more so with this in mind the longer you take the loan out for then not only will it cost you more but the car might not be worth anything by the time you have paid off the loan. If you can put a lump sum deposit down on the car then this of course will reduce the length of the loan and the amount of interest you will pay on your loan.


You do have to ensure that you can afford to pay for the loan - while you will want to keep the monthly cost down, again if you want to save money, take the borrowing out over the shortest length possible at a monthly repayment figure that you can comfortably afford. It is also just as important that you checkout the details of any car loan for used cars that you are considering taking, any quotes you are given should also come with the key facts outlined and this is where you will find any additional costs that might be hidden in the loan such as early repayment fees. The key facts should also explain how much the loan will cost in total and outline how much you are going to be paying in interest over the time you have chosen to take the loan out for.

Cut costs increase comfort

The cost of keeping cool is on the rise. Energy prices, at historic levels last year, continue to climb as global demand for energy increases and the country recovers from hurricane-related disruptions to domestic oil and natural gas production.


Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) manufacturers are responding to the challenges of increased energy costs by offering homeowners air-conditioning units that deliver new energy efficiency standards and reduce your energy usage. For example, York®, a Johnson Controls Company, encourages consumers in search of an energy-efficient HVAC system to consider the York Affinity™ series of air conditioners.


The innovative scroll compressor technology in the Affinity series offers energy-saving efficiency in units with a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of 13.


The 15 SEER model has an even higher-performing scroll compressor featuring a two-stage design. This means when the air conditioner senses the need for maximum cooling, the compressor automatically shifts into two-stage operation. And as the demand for cooling decreases, the compressor automatically reduces to a single-stage operation, requiring substantially less energy. In fact, this unit is as much as 60 percent more efficient than a traditional air-conditioning unit.


The two-stage design also contributes to unusually quiet operation. The unit can reach as low as 71 decibels (dB). This is much quieter than a typical hair dryer, which operates in the range of 76dB. For every three decibels quieter, perceived sound is cut by 50 percent.


Humidity control also increases with the two-stage design, air circulation improves and hot and cold spots disappear.


The York Affinity unit comes in a choice of seven colors or up to 77 different college logo panels to complement your home, landscaping and lifestyle.


There are additional ways you can keep your utility bills down:


• Make sure your indoor furnace or air handler filter is clean and free from debris, which could obstruct airflow and place a strain on your system, causing it to work harder and use more energy.


• Seal any air leaks, such as those near doors and windows and places where plumbing, ducting or electrical wiring goes through exterior walls.


• Make sure your home is properly insulated, including the hot water heater and hot water pipes, the attic, ceilings, exterior and basement walls, floors and crawl space.
