Kmeivol Olive Oil Sprayer Mister

 

This is one of those things you don’t think about having until you do and then if you break it, you do miss having it. I knocked mine over on my granite countertop and shattered it and having to go back to pouring the olive oil on and then using a brush to spread it, is so wasteful, messy, and time-consuming. This spray bottle is just so easy and convenient to have and use. It's easy to fill, hold and spray and they give you a funnel that makes it so much easier to fill when needed.

LAUNCH Creader Professional 129i OBD2 Car Diagnostic Engine Scanner

 

My airbag light on my dash came on and I tried to use a cheap scanner to read the code and it did, but it wouldn’t clear the code, so I bought this one. My wife always says I try and go cheap and always end up paying more in the long run and she was right on this one. Do yourself a favor and just buy this one to start with. This read the code and cleared it and it hasn’t come back on, so this paid for itself in one use.

 This is a nice scanner with a touch screen and has about every car make and model there currently is, and you get lifetime upgrades, so it should always be up to date. This is easy to use without reading the manual for the basic stuff most people would use it for. It will scan for your vin number and pick your vehicle for you, so you don’t even have to do that yourself. For anything more in-depth, you may need to read the manual a little to figure out how to do it and look at it.   

 This has a big rechargeable battery and lasted more than long enough for what I used it for and fully charges in a couple of hours when it needs it. The 5-inch screen is big, backlight and easy to see and read and has big icons that are well labeled, so you know where they take you to and what they do. It also comes with a manual, charging cable, OBD2 cable and a cloth carrying case.

 They have a website in the description that you can check your vehicle in to see what function will work on this scanner for your vehicle before you buy this one. Very nice website to look your car up on.

Tiergrade TG-DC006 USB-C Docking Station

 

First off, I love that my laptop automatically turns on when I plug the USB-C cable into it from this docking station. Second, I like that it can display three 4K monitors at the same time if you need it too. I use two and they work perfectly. You may need an adapter to get your monitor plug into the Display port or HDMI ports, but they are only a few dollars. If you have a new monitor, you won’t even need an adapter. With all these ports (RJ45, USC-A, USB-C, Audio, & mic) there isn’t much you can’t plug into this. I have everything I need for my home office plugged into this and still have some open ports and if you had to, you could plug a hub into this and add more ports if needed. This works perfectly for everything I need and is small enough that it sits out of the way and isn’t in the way. So much nicer having only one plug to plug in and out when I need to take my laptop with me for work.

LILPARTNER Hand Mixer Electric

 

My the last mixer has lasted forever, but the connectors broke off that hold the beaters in place, so time for a new one and this is it. This one has all the features of my old one but has a turbo button. In the past, I have sometimes needed a little bit more speed and this is it. This is easy to put together, use, and clean when I need it. Has the speed and umph to mix what I need mixed and has a little bit of weight, but not too heavy to hold and use for the few minutes that I use it. Overall, a nice mixer that comes with a couple of other attachments if you need them.

GOOLOO GP80 800A Peak Super Safe Car Jump Starter

 

I bought one of these when they first came out and it worked great, so thought I would get another one for the other car and this is it. At 800 amps, it puts out enough to start about any vehicle you could have. It is small, lightweight, easy to hook up and use, and just works much easier than jumper cables that no one ever has with them when you need them. As a bonus this works just as well as a battery pack, with a quick charge, to charge your devices and a flashlight for when you need one. Really helps to see the battery at night when you need to jump it as you want to make sure you put the clamps on the right posts when using this. This does last a few months just sitting there but I like to charge it at least every two months to make sure it is fully charged when needed. It also comes with a bag to store everything in, so nothing gets lost before you need it. A great little device that everyone should have with them in their vehicle.

Gleebom Solar Flood Light Motion Sensor

 

The floodlight is nice and bright. Whoever thinks 6000k LED lights aren’t bright, must have gotten a bad one. With two adjustable lights on this, I can shine them in opposite direction and they light up the whole back of my detached garage all night long. Love the way they dim down when there is not motion and come right on when there is. The wife feels much safer now going out to her cat shelters to feed the animals early in the morning now. Didn’t need the ground stake to mount this, but nice to have options if I did and it will adjust to three different levels as well if you need it to. This comes with all the needed mounting hardware as well and only took a few minutes to put up. The hardest thing was getting the ladder out so I could place it higher on the wall.

LATITOP Upgraded Auto Mini Airbrush Kit with Air Compressor

 

This is a fun little sprayer and it works great for small to medium jobs. The hardest part of this is getting the paint thin enough to be used but using my viscosity cup from my electric paint sprayer, that is easy as well now. This is light, easy to use, and does what I needed it to do. It does take some trial and error getting the correct spray size based on how far away you keep the spray nozzle and how far back you pull the trigger, but with a little practice, you get the hang of it. It does take a couple of hours to fully charge it and you get about an hour or so of usage time out of it before having to recharge it, but with no external compressor and air hose to get in the way, it works when I need it for the right projects.

Mini PC Windows 10 Pro 8GB LPDDR4 128GB SSD Intel Celeron J4125 by Minisforum

 

I went with the 128GB PC since I have external drives lying around not being used, I can use for storage on this using one of the USB 3.0 ports on this. This has a nice Intel Celeron J4125 processor that is at the top of the class of comparable processors and is nice and quiet and fast for surfing the internet, checking emails, and doing some work from home on it. Works well on playing the slot machine games the wife likes to play as well. Windows 10 Pro works smooth and great on this little mini PC.

It is easy enough to upgrade the ram (nice that it comes with the newest DDR4) and SSD card in this if you want and I looked, it wouldn’t cost that much to max the specs out of this, but you should try it before thinking of that. For the most part, this will work for most people right out of the box as is.

Love that is supports two 4K monitors or TV. I use two for work and that is perfect for me. You may need to buy an adapter if you don’t have the correct plug type, but they are very cheap to buy.

The dual-band WiFi is a bonus on this as most newer router supports both bands now and it is nice to have and use 5.0 GHz Wifi when you can and max out your network connection if you can’t plug in and use one of the two ethernet ports on this. I get the same network speed on this as I do my full-size desktop with both being plugged in the RJ45 port.   

This also comes with four USB-A 3.0 ports that make transferring data fast and easy. Storing my data on the external drive is not an issue using these ports or you could also use the TF card slot and add more storage using that, as SD cards are cheap nowadays.

Victure Wireless Security 1080P 4 Channel Camera System

 

This couldn’t be any easier to install, setup, and get working. Yes, you do need an outlet for power to plug each one of these cameras in, but being wireless, they just connect to the NVR once turned on.  You will need to buy a hard drive and install it, if you want to record and save it, but you could always just use it to view the cameras live with no recording using the Eseecloud app on your phone or tablet plugged the NVR right into a monitor, or use their cloud service to store it on.  

 The software on the NVR is intuitive and easy to navigate and figure out. You can set up zones for each camera to detect motion or to ignore if you like. I don’t want to see all the cars going by my house, so I block those out, so they are not picked up by the motion of them going by. You can record on motion or continuously if you like.

 The view from these cameras is awesome and works well both during the day and night with the inferred cameras. You do need to play with the camera angle to get them to show where you want them to when you first put them up but using the app to do that makes it a piece of cake to do.

 This comes with 4 cameras, but you can add up to 4 more, for a total of 8, if that is not enough. I have four and it covers each side of my house with no problems.

 You can setup getting alerts as well when there is motion detected and adjust the sensitivity so you don’t get one every time the wind blows, but you may still get some for what seems like no reason, but better safe than sorry. These cameras do reach 65 feet in seeing the motion, which is plenty far enough away for most situations and locations that you may need to see and record.

 Overall, this is a set and forget kind of camera system unless something happens, and you need it. It is nice being able to see if someone is at the door, something being delivered, or the pet sitter showed up each day. A great wireless camera system that just works right out of the box.

48” x 100’ Fiberglass Window Screen Roll

 

This screen at 4 feet wide is plenty wide enough to do everything I have to do and with having a 100- feet of it, have plenty to do it all.  Just replaced half my windows but the other half needs new screening and the black look of this is almost an exact match to the screens on my new windows. I also used this on the roof eaves on my shed to help keep out the cats and raccoons. This is having a nice tight weave and rolls out easily as you are using it. It cuts easily with a razor knife but feels tough and strong when you try pulling on it to stretch it across the window frame.
