In this authoritative and engrossing full-scale biography, Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Einstein and Steve Jobs, shows how the most fascinating of America's founders helped define our national character. Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us, the one who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In a sweeping narrative that follows Franklin's life from Boston to Philadelphia to London and Paris and back, Walter Isaacson chronicles the adventures of the runaway apprentice who became, over the course of his eighty-four-year life, America's best writer, inventor, media baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one of its most practical and ingenious political leaders. He explores the wit behind Poor Richard's Almanac and the wisdom behind the Declaration of Independence, the new nation's alliance with France, the treaty that ended the Revolution, and the compromises that created a near-perfect Constitution. In this colorful and intimate narrative, Isaacson provides the full sweep of Franklin's amazing life, showing how he helped to forge the American national identity and why he has a particular resonance in the twenty-first century.Binding Type: Hardcover

Buy it. Spend the $$$
Size: 3 Pack, Size: 3 Pack
Glad I spent the extra money and got the rollers with the ball bearings. The 3 pack came in handy. Very good quality.
If you are doing more than 1 area, you will need these.

A Must Have For Sound Deadening Materials
Size: 3 Pack
I applied Silex sound deadening material to the rear interior of a Ford Maverick truck cab. Lots of narrow areas, and lots of curved surfaces. This set was a must to properly apply the mats to the metal surface. There were places that I had to push down with my fingers due to obstacles like seat belt mounts, but I could tell that I was not getting the same results as I was with the crimped rollers.

Works great for sound deadening install!
Size: 3 Pack
I recently put Kilmat in my van I am converting. I thought I wouldn't need to get rollers to install the sound deadening mat in my van but I ordered these anyway. Why not, 3 rollers under $20.00 and I could return them if I didn't like them. Well I ordered this roller set. I was able to put the mat on and smooth it with my hands but these rollers really helped flatten out the sound mat to get better adhesion, especially where I overlapped the seems. The rollers were more necessary than I thought. They are very sturdy and work well. They do not feel cheap and I actually liked them quite a bit. The rollers have smooth function and leave little lines in the mat where I used them. This was very handy as it let me know where I had already used them. It was nice having 3 sizes. The big roller did not fit in some of the curved areas, so I used the smaller rollers. These will work well with sound mat that is thicker than the Kilmat as well. If you are installing sound deadening mat, you should purchase these. I saw other rollers that were more money and didn't have multiple sizes. This was a good purchase. I will try to add a picture to help with visualization purposes soon.
