Bought this Elkay 'E-granite' sink from AMZ for a premium (vs. purchasing from a 3rd party AMZ seller) because I trust Amazon's return policy & Elkay is as well respected sink manufacturer.
The sink arrived seemingly in perfect condition as the packaging is quite substantial. Anyway, after a quick glance inside to read the installation info, I thought the sink was fine despite being pretty dirty with a heavy coat of powdery white dust (probably can be attributed to the mfg process). Upon completely unpacking the sink and all set to install, I noticed that the sink had hairline cracks in opposite corners of the sink. Thankfully, about two minutes on the AMZ website and I had a return all setup. UPS showed up the next day and picked up the sink free of charge.
As for the sink itself, the pros are:
1) Such an affordable price. On par with the Pegasus brand but, this is an Elkay. Pegasus is just Home Depot's private label. From my knowledge of Elkay, they are a top quality Stainless Steel sink manufacturer. In fact, I've been bugging a buddy of mine who works for Elkay about granite sinks for some time and just now see this on the market.
2) Standard sink dimensions easily replaces cheap sinks that come in most new homes
3) High quality material. The sink's thickness is impressive & it has some significant weight to it (that's good for noise reduction as well)
Cons:
1) It's quite possible you might experience a mfg defect like I did. Elkay made their name with high quality stainless steel sinks. Not granite material. I think they're still new to the mfg process and possibly do not make these themselves.
2) The design is quite plain. Nothing special about it. The aforementioned Pegasus brand offers quite a bit of designs despite being made of a cheaper feeling material
3) The granite seems very porous. Meaning that it's more likely to absorb things and discolor. btw, remember to be very careful using plumber's putty when installing a black granite sink or go ahead and use a high quality silicon when installing the flanges.
Overall, I really wish this sink would have worked out. In lieu, I ran out the same day of my sink install & spent exactly the same amount on a lesser quality Pegasus sink. If you're in the market for a black granite sink, give this one a try. Just remember to buy from Amazon (as the seller) to avoid potential return issues. That and if you're doing so much work under the sink, now is the time to buy a new garbage disposer. InSinkErator makes several 'Evolution' models which work great. In the long run, you'll be happy you spent a little extra up front.

I looked for this exact can of spray paint EVERYWHERE and couldnt find it, until I looked here. The product is exactly as described and looks great.The shipping was also extremely fast. I highly suggest this product.
When coupled with a hammer drill like the Bosch 1194AVSRK (whose specifications say it capable of driving a 3/4" hole in concrete), you can actually use this 1" bit _without_ a pilot hole. Very, very nice.
I've owned this tiny compact flashlight for over four years.It gives off a very bright light.The battery life isn't as good as an LED flashlight, but this compact flashlight is significantly brighter than similar LED flashlights.So if you value brightness, get this flashlight.If you have very long battery life, then get an LED flashlight instead.
The picture of this product showed a roller water kit for a skilsaw. However, when it arrived, it only included the water attachment. About $10 dollars worth of parts for $40 dollars. Quite the ripoff and very misleading. One star because you can't give zero.
Amazon actually sent me the wrong sink when I ordered this one, and as usual they were great about the return since it was their mistake.
I ordered these hole saws because I wanted to convert a Wine bottle into a lamp. 
Great on granite countertops.Leaves no film on the granite, perfect for quick cleanups. I would not use anything else on my beautiful countertops.
I love my granite top but it did arrive with a small chip about the size of a dime on the front lip. Thank goodness the top is reversible so I could have the chip facing down. The Amazon add said the top would be shipped in styrofoam in a wooden crate. There was no crate, but damaged and taped cardboard instead. I did not see the chip when it first arrived ... only when I went to install it. I decided to "live with it" rather than seek a replacement because I do not know how to contact the seller.
I was originally going to by the Secco kit because it had reviews and there were none for the Hardin.But when I realized there would be a 2-4 week wait for the Secco to ship, I canceled my order for the Secco and ordered the Hardin.I placed the order March 2 and it arrive March 8 with standard shipping.It arrived without the 10,000 grit buffing pad or radius wheel.A call to the company and it was on its way, so no problem.I bought the kit to shape and polish the edges of 12x12x1/4 granite tiles.Worked like a charm, starting with 50 grit pad to get basic shape and working up to 10,000 buffing pad.I had previously had to pay $12 per linear foot to have this work done, so needing 30 feet of tile edge polished made this a great deal.The grinder feels solid and runs well.It comes with both the handle pictured as well as a side handle, which I prefer.It also comes with a ground fault circuit interrupter (plugs on both ends so you can use it with other tools).I like that the water valve is on the underside rather than on top.That location makes it very convenient to operate the water valve with the index finger and the power switch with your thumb.I built a simple fixture from plywood to clamp the tiles at a 30 degree angle and worked on 10 tiles at a time, switching tiles rather than polishing pads.That seems to work best, and makes the location of the water valve and power switch important.Looks like I will get a lot of use out of the polishing pads before they wear out.I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase.
This statue is plastic that looks like granite.I bought this item as a gift and they loved it.
This is a great black color with just the right amount of sheen.Not glossy yet not flat.Provided good coverage but I did need about 3 coats for the picture frames I was painting.
This video gives great details and shows how to work with Granite and make the edges look awesome!
I bought this back in September (2006) and was a little concerned about weight limits.One of the pictures I saw showed the hook holding a step ladder, but I have a Little Giant ladder (a combination extension and step ladder deal) which is quite handy, but also quite heavy relative to other step ladders.Bottom line, yes it can support the weight.I've had it up since October and it doesn't show any signs of excessive strain or warping.(I also have another one holding a double stroller)
After a miserable experience with Americast sinks, I was careful to do my homework before selecting a replacement. The Blanco brand overall has received a lot of good feedback from people on review/chat boards, and the Silgranit in particular has been well received.
