Smead Product Review - Folders & Step Index Organizer

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Shoplet and all their office supplies?  They are truly a wonderful company to do business with and they have never disappointed me when I have ordered products from them.  I am all about being organized, so I definitely welcomed each of these products when they were delivered to my doorstep.  If they can help me stay even more organized than bring it on!

This Step Index Organizer has already found a permanent place in my organization.  I don’t know about you guys, but I have a mailman that is more than eager to drop nasty little bills in my mailbox.  So now… this handy dandy little file system is holding precious mail until they are paid.  It is the perfect size to carry from one place to another, and I don’t have to worry about anything falling out because it can be closed up easily.  There are 12 pockets inside and it comes with inserts (A-Z) that can help you alphabetize what you put inside.  One interesting thing about this  organizer is the tiered tabs.  The ones in the front are the same height…but the ones in the back have been moved up just a bit, for easier view.  Yip!  I’m loving that!  I haven’t decided how I’m going to label the tabs…so for now they are blank.  It looks like it is going to be sturdy enough to last for awhile and the silver bumpy texture allows me to get a good grip so it doesn't slide out of my hand while carrying it.

The Erasable SuperTab File Folders are a brand new idea for me!  Say WHAT!  Erasable!  My first response was yeah…right!!!!  So of course I had to check it out for myself.  It does erase…but it also required med to add more pressure (which I wasn’t expecting) and thus requires more patience from me. So… would I purchase them???  Honestly, I don’t know… Currently, I laminate folders that I use over and over again so… I probably would not replace the folders I currently use.  But still, it is nice that you have the option to erase and reuse them.  The package does state that you need a white eraser and permanent marker.  These manila folders are letter size, come in a package of 24 and have the 1/3- cut tabs.

  The Erasable FasTab Hanging Folders are a product that I will definitely purchase.  Just like the manila folders discussed above, they have the erasable tab.  If you have never used hanging folders you don’t know what you are missing!  They require some elbow grease and patience also to erase…but it will be worth it to me.  What I especially like about these hanging file folders is that I don’t have to print… resize…print again and again until I get the name of the file to fit perfectly in the space allowed for the tab.  These hanging folders are blue, red and green. 

I have wanted folders like these for a long time… I just didn’t know they made them.  These are called Organized Up Heavyweight Vertical File Folders.  The colors are red, olive green and a purplish.  Not what I would have ordered for myself, but they will certainly do the job.  Papers fit in them nicely and when you pull them out they are in the right position!!! The folders do have a tab for the upright position and in the normal place of files…So you get to decide where you want to add the labeling at.

FireKing E-lock Steel Key Cabinet Review

I jumped at the chance to write a review on this product. This is a FireKing E-lock Steel Key Cabinet.  It is made of heavy-gauge steel with very durable hinges.  The design is two-toned with a Silver Vein powder-coat enamel.   

My husband owns his own Auto Repair shop and this is something he was in dire need of to help him be more organized.  However, I must say that he always amazes me when he can find the key that he needs within seconds. However, I know he is going to love using this instead of throwing them in his desk. 

The key cabinet has an electronic locking device which allows you to use the keypad (using up to 8 numbers of your choice) or to use one of the 2 keys provided.  It is quite easy to program the keypad and there is a green light that lights up to let you know that you have typed in the correct combination.  After turning the knob from the locked position to the unlocked position the door can then be opened.  If you punch in the wrong number, it makes an alarm sound that lasts only a few seconds.   However, if you punch in the incorrect number combination three times there is an automatic lockout.  Don't worry though, you can always open the cabinet with the override key.  

Provided with the key cabinet are  30 white key tags that attach to the chrome-plated steel hooks.  These key tabs are numbered from 1-30 and can be easily written on.  Also included is a yellow key tag that can be hung in the cabinet to let you know quickly that the key for that number is not there and who has it.  

If this is something that you are interested in, please go and check it out over at Shoplet.com.  They have an amzaing variety of things over there.  I recently ordered some 1/2" binders from there and I had them at my door in two days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I did pay a couple of extra dolllars for delivery, but still.... 2 DAYS!!!!

They also have  Office Supplies, Promotional Products, Medical Supplies, and Office Stationary.  Please go and check it out for yourself.
