If You Appreciate The BEST, You MUST Watch These Amazing Videos Of How The Best Shoes In The World Are Made In America

These shoes will last a lifetime if cared for correctly. They are the simply the BEST.
Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan from Horween Leather on Vimeo.
Whether you ask a scientist, electrician or a romantic matchmaker, they'll all tell you the same thing: opposites attract. And when it comes to the Grayson, consistently one of our top sellers, that same axiom has proven true when it comes to shoe styling as well. Yes, this model's clean profile gives it the respectability of a dress shoe, but it is also delivers the gratifying convenience of a Slip-on Loafer loafer. Sure, it has the cultivated look that only comes with a sleek toe and hand-raised stitching, but its tassel and side-lacing convey an individual spirit that cannot be overlooked. Whether you are charmed by its sophistication or its playfulness-or some combination of the two, we can assure you will fall in love with these shoes that adapt perfectly to both your work and social lives.

The Best Electric Power Washer
This is the electric power washer that cleaned more effectively than any other model in side-by-side evaluations conducted by The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Analysts used each power washer on a cement patio and cultured stone and compared the results and in both cases, The Best Power Washer removed far more dirt and mold than its lesser-powered counterparts. It was also the only model that removed all the paint from the surface of curb and all but the tiniest stains from a truck's wheel. Its 1 1/2 gallons-per-minute pump generates 1800 PSI to quickly remove dirt while using 80% less water than a garden hose alone. It comes with a turbo-boosting 1800 PSI wand for concentrated cleaning and a fan wand that adjusts the spray up to 60º for covering wide areas. It has a 20' long hose that winds neatly on a built-in reel, an integrated detergent tank that also holds bleach for disinfecting surfaces, and maneuvers easily on oversized wheels. 35' power cord. 35" H x 16" W x 15 1/2" D.

The Healthiest Deep Fryer
This fryer makes up to 2 lbs. of crisp, succulent fried food using only one tablespoon of oil. The nominal amount of oil results in french fries with only 3% fat--far superior to the 14% fat content of conventionally deep-fried potatoes. An internal convection oven heats to 338º F and evenly circulates hot air to cook chicken wings, shrimp, or spring rolls with the same crunchy exterior and moist interior produced by conventional deep fryers. Food slowly revolves around the nonstick basin while an integrated paddle automatically turns and mixes ingredients with the oil and other seasonings to ensure even cooking. Virtually all of the cooking oil is absorbed by the food, eliminating the hassle of disposing of large quantities of used oil. The device does not require any preheating, it has a timer, and its cover, cooking basin, and paddle are dishwasher safe. Includes a recipe booklet. 9 1/2" H x 12 1/2" W x 16 1/2" D. (6 lbs.)

The Guard Dog Diablo Tactical Flashlight Stun Gun
“With hidden probes and 4.5 million volts the Diablo Stun Gun is a tactical flashlight that does more
than just light the way.”
Discrete and concealable are key attributes
The Diablo Stun Gun may simply look light a flashlight, but it's much more than that. It's not just a flashlight, but a tactical flashlight and a stun gun.
Compared to other stun guns on the market that have contacting probes which can be seen or are sticking out, the Diablo Stun Gun gives a user maximum discreteness and the confidence to know that what they are using will do the job of stopping someone.
No need to worry about accidentally deploying it
Safety is another key element of this device. Instead of worrying about using it when it's not required there is no need. In order to maximize protection a safety switch has been provided. This means that when placed into the OFF position you can rest assured that you won't deploy it when it's not needed, giving you the peace of mind that you're after.
Stop someone in their tracks with ease
It may look defenceless, but the Diablo Stun Gun packs 4.5 million volts, putting it among one of the most powerful self defense devices to behold. Nobody would suspect that this device does more than it appears to do. Furthermore, but with a 160 lumen flashlight it's also one of the brightest too, making it the perfect dual weapon to own.
If, though, you're after a weapon of force that has been crafted as such then the Diablo Stun Gun is the device for you. Constructed from type three aircraft-grade aluminium alloy those who have this device will know that it has been made to last.
Not only that, but its shock-proof body and heavy duty emergency glass breaker reinforce this. The benefits of having a shock-proof body and heavy duty glass means that even if you should drop it your device won't break or reduce its ability to stun someone when needed.
Stay charged with the recharge function
This rechargeable stun gun makes it easy to charge when it's needed. Simply insert the power cord into the charging cord input before plugging it into a outlet.
This way you can stay charged for instant action when it's needed the most.
Guaranteed Lifetime Warranty
Lifetime warranty guaranteed with the Diablo Stun Gun for optimal customer satisfaction.

ZapCane Stun Cane w/ Flashlight
It looks like a cane and feels like a cane
Gone are the days when a senior citizen worried about their safety. Now, a senior citizen no longer equals an easy target with this truly innovative ZapCane Stun Cane with Flashlight. Presenting the appearance of a cane any unsuspecting offender would believe that's all it really is, but this device does much more than help an individual down the street.
A senior citizen now has the chance to reclaim their sense of identity and protection through the cane. Furthermore, the added advantage of owning this unit is the fact that is it equipped with one million volts. Now that's something to make you stop and think. Bear in mind, though, that simply because there are a large amount of volts involved the current is still low, making this a non-lethal and ideal device to own.
Additionally, the cane has the ability to support a weight capacity of up to 250lb which illustrates the high grade aircraft aluminium that has gone into designing a unit built to last.
Extended shocking surface
Extra protection is guaranteed with the extended shocking surface. It's very rare for a device to have this added protection. As a result, safety and distance are key when it comes to the ZapCane, which means that regardless of who you are fending off they won't be able to get close to you.
When it comes to fending off attacking dogs the 32-36" length of the cane provides added distance between you and the animal.
Furthermore, if faced with an assailant who attempts to grab hold of the ZapCane in a bid to take it away, they'll soon be sorry they did. The stun from this device will soon see them cowering away.
Added protection wherever you go
You no longer need to worry over a senior relative when they have this cane at their disposal. Built-in to the unit is a rechargeable battery which means that when the battery starts to run low you can simply plug it into an available socket for quick and easy recharging.
Now, wherever you go and whomever you are confronted with, be it a person or even a dog, the added protection the device provides will soon educate those on the disadvantages of attempting to overpower a senior citizen walking with a cane. A safety switch can also be found on the unit which prevents any accidental firing when least required.
Stay illuminated at all times
In some cases there will be times when you may find that you are still outside as the daylight hours fade. Thankfully though, and with the benefit of your ZapCane, you can remain illuminated regardless of the time.
At the head of your sturdy handle an ultra-bright LED flashlight is located providing added protection during nights out when you need it most.
