Did You Read That Review ? (50 page)

I used to think that the cable was too expensive, but I then realized how wrong I was when my house burnt down to nothingness. The diamond luckily saved the HDMI cable. Since my house burns down on a regular basis, buying this HDMI cable was quite a worthwhile investment. It also stimulates the economy in Africa, so +1. Would buy again, and again, and again, and again…

Perfect length, questionable quality

By

I’d been searching high and low for a 6.56-feet HDMI cable. There are times when 6.5 feet is too short and 6.6 feet is just WAY too long. The AudioQuest cable seemed to be an absolute steal for a cable that met my exact needs. I’m not at all pleased with the quality, though. I tried to tow my mother’s Pontiac Aztec out of a ditch with this cable, and it snapped immediately. I’m sorry, but I really expected greater tensile strength. The search continues.

Oh my God, it’s full of stars

When I opened my eyes, I was stunned speechless by the breathtaking clarity; 1080P had transformed into what seemed to be a gateway into something never before imaginable: infinite black, infinite color, and infinite picture. As I watched my own life pass before my eyes, I felt that the cable itself was judging me. I lost track of where the TV began and I ended.

Low-Jitter, Low-Distortion Audio

Low-Jitter, Low-Distortion Audio? For this price, you’d think they could at least accomplish NO DISTORTION! I watch
The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air
, and Carlton sounds like a Sleestack with tuberculosis. Next time, I’ll just wire the RCA audio outputs on my TV into my karaoke machine, and at least I can sing along with Daughtry! Confounded!

4.2 out of 5 stars

Economy choice for today’s ninja

By
Ellis Bell “Ellis Bell”

As an entry-level ninja in today’s weakened economy, I must watch my budget on equipment and supplies. I haven’t yet qualified for health benefits, and the union for ninjas isn’t the most effective, so I have little to back me up in case of a catastrophic injury. Although most assume I have the REAL ultimate power from the outset, being
an entry-level ninja requires a long climb to the top. So, for the ninja on the go, this is the ideal item for the price-conscious ninja needing an effective grappling hook at a price point that won’t offend your sensei or your sensibility. Just last week, I was infiltrating the offices of a large, multinational bank on a small assassination mission, and—wouldn’t you know it?—my old hook just snapped in two as I hoisted myself up to the 17th floor. I nearly fell a rather devastating distance to the ground. I am so glad I had this hook at the ready as a backup! I was able to hoist myself back to safety after a quick throw (most of my free time is, in fact, spent flying with the aid of this hook). I will, of course, buy another, now that my backup hook is now my primary hook, although I think that next time I scale an office building, I’ll take the elevator instead. Or I’ll just totally flip out, and that would be sweet.

Best choice for gunrunning operation!

By

During my twenty-year career gunrunning small arms across the US-Mexican border from West Texas, I’ve tried all kinds of climbing-assist tools to facilitate hops over border fences and other obstacles. The ACE Ninja Folding Grappling Hook w/Black Finish & Rope is by far the best I’ve ever used. Unlike inferior-grade folding grappling hooks that tend to use lower-grade, wobbly hinges at the folding points, the ACE product uses high-quality fasteners with a sturdy feel. The only reason I’m giving this product 4 stars instead of 5 is that the included black nylon rope is slightly too short to traverse the new, higher border fences mandated under the Secure Fence Act of 2006.
