eSamcore Rechargeable LED Tactical Flashlight, eSamcore Water Resistant Flashlight with Safety Hammer and 18650 Battery & Charger [Zoomable] [1000 Lumens] [5 Modes] For Camping Outdoor Emergency

Posted in Car products, Father's day, Flashlights, Home and Outdoors, Lighting, Outdoors activities, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

The more flashlights we have the better I like it, as I have one in the vehicle, and take one when I am on my own. Therefore I was pleased to receive the eSamcore Rechargeable Tactical LED Flashlight, which is a regular sized torch.

As with most good quality flashlights it is super bright with 1,000 lumens, is water-resistant, and has a safety hammer for breaking glass.

This flashlight allows you to have a bright light up close, and also at a distance. The modes are High, Low, Strobe, and SOS. You need to use a long press for the SOS mode.
This LED flashlight is tough, durable, and water resistant. Can be used with 1×18650 (included) battery or you can use 3 batteries (not included).

Having the tactical end allows me to walk when dark, and feel safe, having a weapon with me.  Love the hammer feature, as you never know when that might be needed.

All in all, this is a multipurpose flashlight, and everything you need comes in the carrying box.

I was extremely fortunate to get it at a discounted price, and am delighted with it.

AOPETIO Cell Phone Finger Ring Stand Holder,[1 Set] AOPETIO Rotation Metal Round Ring Hand Grip Kickstand, For Magnetic Car Phone Vent Mount

Posted in Car products, Home and Outdoors, Office Products, Phone accessories., UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 5 Comments

I was interested in the AOPETIO Cell Phone Finger Ring StandHolder, because the one I use in my office for angling, or standing my phone up, is rubber, and I really don’t trust it.

I do have a magnetic car vent mount, which looks the same as this one, so will most likely give that to a friend. They work well, and stay in place, allowing you to view your GPS on your phone.

So my review is mostly about the Finger Ring Stand.  As you can see from my photos, it goes on the back of your phone, and you are all set.  I used an old phone, as I needed my latest one to take the photos.

A little about the Finger Ring from the Amazon website:

  • ‘【Material】:This cellphone ring grip stand holder construction from soft silicone elastic and the hand hold ring with zinc alloy bearing to keep rotating sturdy, the adhesive of the holder kickstand rings is surprisingly strong.
  • 【Feature】: The phone ring stand is an efficient way of preventing your phone from slipping off your hands, the ring holder as a temporary stand when you place your phone or any other electric equipment on a table or any flat surface.’

I am really pleased with it, and to get 2 products, is even better.  I did receive mine at a discounted price, and am really delighted with it.

What great value are the Swiftrans Tactical Flashlights as they come with batteries as well.  With Amazon Prime, you get 2 day delivery, at a cost of just $15.99.

These are full size flashlights, and have the tactical top on them, for any emergency or attack.  They are ultra bright, are LED’s, and have an adjustable focus that goes from x 1 to x 2000.  The light modes are High, Medium, Low, Strobe,  and SOS.

The batteries are easy to put in, and you control the flashlights by pressing the orange button on the base of the flashlight.

You can see in my photos, and video how

bright it is, and how easy it is to use.  Having 2 is great, as one can be kept in the house, and the other in the car.

A little from the Amazon webpage:

  • ULTRA-BRIGHT: Powerful LED boasts a maximum 800 lumens for up to 1017 ft (310m).Focus on objects up to 1000 ft away or zoom out to sweep a large area. Adjustable focus.

ThorFire Mini Zoomable Tactical Flashlight – CT01 Super Bright Led Light with 3 Modes for Camping, Self Defense, Emergency.

Posted in Car products, Flashlights, Home and Outdoors, Lighting, Safety productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The ThorFire Mini Zoomable Tactical Flashlight is perfect if you are looking for a small torch/flashlight that does a pretty big job.

It doesn’t come with the battery, but you can use either an AA, or 14500 battery in it.  I put an AA rechargeable battery in mine, and it is working great.  On the end of the flashlight is a red button, and when you push it you get a low, high beam or strobe light.  With the front pulled out you get a bright small beam, and pulled back creates a zoom.

It is a safety product,  not only in the form of the flashlight, but also the tactical top, that is sharp enough to attack a predictor.  The flashlight has a sturdy metal clip, that will allow you to put it on a belt, a bag, and can also be slipped into a pocket.  The size of it is  3.93 inches long.

I am going to put it in the driver side of my car, and know that if I need it, it will be ready for me.  Also if I am out, and it is dark I will be able to take it with me, and feel safe.

I did receive this product at a discounted price, and wanted to share my thoughts of it with you.

Moreslan Car Phone Mount, Universal Dashboard Windshield Phone Holder for Car with Suction Cup for Smartphones.

Posted in Car products, Phone accessories.Tagged , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Now that we rely on our phones, instead of the old G.P.S. products, it’s really nice to have them situated where we can see them.  That’s when a product such as the Moreslan Car Phone Mount is so useful.

This allows us to have the Navigator on the phone, and be able to see it, while driving.  It will allow the phone to rotate 360 degrees, which is great, when you are the only one in the vehicle, and driving a new route.

I took the cover off my phone to use it, as it has lines on the back, and it worked great for me.  I like that you can secure it to the windshield, or dash when needed, and remove it at other times.

A little from the Amazon webpage:

‘Non-magnetic Adsorption Technology
Using vacuum technology to absorb mobile phones, avoiding signal interference to the phone and harm to phone electronic components. No paster needed on the phone and no bad effect on the appearance.

Enjoyable Using Experience
Pressing to fix the phone and pressing once again to remove. 360 degrees rotation allows you to adjust any angle you want.

High Compatibility
Universal and applying to all smartphones on the market as long as the back of the phones are flat. Also suitable for navigators and electronic tablets.

Note:
1.Using with a VTR lens ( sent with the stands in packages ) for phones with non-planar contact surface or for phone cover.
2.It is suggested to remove the phone cover for conditions of inconvenient to stick a VTR lens.
3. Rinsing with water when the suction cup goes dirty after repeated use. The suction can be restored to the original look after natural withering.
4. To ensure the stability of the stand, it is recommended to remove and fit on again for continuous use of over 4 hours.’

I only use a car mount when using the navigator app

, as phones can get frizzled in the sun, here in Florida.  This works perfectly for the times I need it.

I did receive this product at a discounted price, and chose to write a review about it.

Posted in Car products, Home and Outdoors, Office Products, Phone accessories., technologyTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

We live in an age when our phones need to be charged all the time, and get annoyed when they are not.  The slower lifestyle has almost disappeared.  That’s why there are products such as the MasBekTe Qi car fast wireless Charger.  It comes with 2 types of car mounts.

As you can see from my photos, you get the charger, car mount that can go on the dashboard, or windshield, a vent holder, and a USB cable.

Once either of the mounts are in place they can rotate 360 degrees, so that you can see the screen from any angle.  You literally drop your phone into the holder, and the arms enclose over it, and it is secure.

It is hard to show you how it works, as I need my phone to take the photos.  I would suggest that you go to the Amazon webpage, and the link is at the bottom of this review.  Also a little technical information for you:

  • Compatible for: （1.4 times faster than standard wireless charger ) are ONLY available for QI enabled devices like Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S8, S8 Plus models.Other devices will charge at regular speed.

I did receive the MasBekTe Car Charger for free, and wanted to share this neat product with you.

Sollievo Ionic Air Purifier for Car & Home – USB Powered Filter w/ Adapter

Posted in Car products, Christmas, Father's day, gifts, Home products, Office ProductsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Living in Florida, we pretty much have our A/C on in the vehicle all year round.  That is why I use air purifiers in it.  When I received the Sollievo Ionic Air Purifier for Car & Home I had to try it immediately.

I read the instructions that are very straight forward.  First I took the USB cable, and pushed one end into the plug that goes into the ‘cigarette lighter’, as we always called it, and the other end into the product.

Next I put a couple of drops of essential oil into the little pull out drawer, on the side of the air purifier.  Out to my vehicle and switched it on.  I then plugged the machine in.    Placing the machine in the central reservation, between the driver, and passenger, I switched that on too.

The light flashes, and the machine is working.  The reason for the Essential Oil, is because it gives off an unpleasant smell.

From the webpage: ‘

  • REDUCE THE STRESS OF THE DAILY COMMUTE BY BREATHING CLEAN FRESH AIR – the negative ions capture the airborne pollution coming via the vents of your car so that you do not breathe it in.’

It can be used

in your home, office, or any small area that needs clean air.

I did receive this product for free, and wanted to write a review of it, although it wasn’t necessary.

I got the Liumy Digital Multimeter AC/DC Current, Voltage Resistance Meter/Tester for my husband.  He is the go to person, in our household, for anything that I don’t understand, or don’t need to know.

He told me that it is perfect for testing batteries.  So hubby opened it up, and was pleased to see that it has a protective rubber band, going all around it.  It also has a flip up stand, so that you can use it, and still have your hands free, for using both of the test leads to check the battery.

Not only can it be used on regular everyday batteries, but also on car batteries, and so much more

.

Tsumbay Car Air Purifier, Solar Power Bamboo Car Fresh Air Ionizer Purifier, Sterilize Dusting Deodorization Negative Ion Aromatherapy Humidifier

Posted in Car products, giftsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

I use Bamboo Charcoal Air Purifiers in my closets, and really love them, so was extremely happy to receive the Tsumbay Car Air Purifier Aromatherapy Humidifier.

It comes in a tightly packaged box, to protect the product.  You get the Air Purifier, USB cable, vehicle power plug, anti-slip mat, certificate, and the User’s Manual.

It is so simple to use.  I took everything to the vehicle, and started it up.  I then put the power plug into the car power point, pushed the end of the USB cable into one of the double slots, and the other end into the unit.  The light automatically came on that started it working, and stayed on, until I switched the engine off.  It can also be charged up in the house with the USB plug, and it you want to, can also be used in the home.

Some details of what the product is, and how it works, from the Amazon website:

‘Reduces odors, gases and allergens, including pet dander and pollen, with 3 filters (pre-filter, True HEPA filter, Active Carbon filter). Centralizedly and effectively filter various particles in air and completely capture minimum to 0.03 micron suspended particles. The filter rate can be up to 99.98%.

NEGATIVE ANION FILTER: Eliminate dust and static electricity in air, purify polluted substance from car off-gas, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, hydroxide, (etc.), and strongly kill various germs.

HOW DOES IT WORK – Our Car Air Purifier uses an electrical charge to release tremendous amount of 3000,000 anions (3M negative ions per cm3 / ozone 3Mg/H) which will remove microscopic the bad particles from the air, In other words, The ionizer creates negative ions which seek out positively charged particles.’

We never have the windows open in the vehicle, and the air conditioning is on, almost all of the year.  Now I know that I can drive in a vehicle that is truly fresh, and free of germs.

I did receive this product at a discounted price, and have tested it out.  It is in my car permanently, so I am able to write an honest review of it.

LOLLDEAL Car Wash Mitts, (2-Pack) Premium Chenille Microfiber Car Wash Mitt Gloves for Car, Wood, Mirrors, Furniture & Glass (Blue)

Posted in Car products, Christmas, Cleaning products, Father's day, free, gifts, Home and Outdoors, Home productsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 8 Comments

Up until a couple of years ago we used to wash our own vehicle, but the dealership that we bought it from, provide free car washes.  I hate dusting, so thought that the Car Wash Mitts, Lolldeal (2-Pack) Premium Chenille Microfiber Car Wash Mitt Gloves for Car, Wood, Mirrors, Furniture & Glass (Blue) would work for me.

Sometimes I leave it so long that you can see fingerprints, or areas where items have moved in the dust.  Not a good thing.  I put the gloves on, and then moved my hands over the black furniture.  It took it off, and when I turned the gloves over, I could see the dust attached to them.  Then I went for my wooden blinds, and my hands, easily went between them.  I can see how easy my dusting is going to be from now  on.

I used to have a brightly colored duster on a stick, and it would just spread it to different areas, but this really does lift it up, and off of the furniture.

From the website: ‘Double sided with elastic cuff to ensure secure fit, creating 360-degree for cleaning need. DELIVERS A LINT-FREE, SCRATCH-FREE SHINE! Double Sided chenille microfiber! Use it dry to dust and wet to wash. Dries quickly.‘

It is machine washable too.

Now I will be dusting more often, and only taking a few minutes to do it.  This is my trusty cleaning tool, and delighted I have it.

I did receive these mitts for free, and am happy to share with you, how well they work in the house.
