AirMyFun (82011A) Inflatable Bounce Jumper House with Air Blower

This bouncy house is awesome. It is fast and easy to set up and inflate by one person and is light enough to carry around and take with you if needed. On nice days it goes outside and on the other days, it goes inside. My living room becomes the playroom and my grandson is at that stage, this is the toy to play with when he comes over.

It is built-well and the blower isn’t that loud that I can still watch TV and hear it if need be. This comes with a storage/carrying bag and it works well for holding everything like the repair kit and blower. The house itself depends on how well you get all the air out of it and fold it up whether it all goes back in the bag or not. I kind of lay on it and fold it in half until I can roll it up and it fits in the bag. The bounce house and blower both fit in the bag with room to close it at the top.

NASUM 5.5W A5 Pro Fixed Focusing Laser Engraving Cutting Machine

This is a fun little hobby to get into. I always wanted one and now that I have it, I am not disappointed with it at all. Setting it up wasn’t that hard or take that long. There are plenty of videos on YouTube on setting it up and using it along with using LaserGRBL. Did a couple of little engravings to test it and play and learn the software and it isn’t as hard as you may think. You should put something under what you are engraving or burning to make sure you don’t burn whatever is under it, like your table. Make sure it is level as well, so what you are burning is level, so your engraving comes out looking great.

Between this laser engraver and the software, there are so many options and settings, you can do a lot with this and never get bored. Just remember these do not like shiny surfaces and won’t engrave them. Some you may be able to do if you prepare the surface beforehand with paint, Thermark, or Cermark.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and am getting way more than my money’s worth out of it so far.

Jellas 8Cr13Mov Spring Assisted Pocket Knife

I love the black look of this knife and just the overall design. The holes on the top of the blade just make it look different than other knives. This stainless-steel knife is very sharp right out of the box and should be handled with care.

As added bonuses, this knife also comes with a very sharp razor blade on the top back of it that will work great for cutting fishing lines or even a seat belt if you get trapped in your vehicle. It also has a glass impactor on the end of it to help break a window if needed. So, it would be great to have in a vehicle if something was to happen and you needed these to get out.

There is a lock button on the top of it you need to slide before being able to open the blade and with the spring assist, it does just pop out and swing open with very little help needed. So, it does open very easily and fast and closes with just pushing the locking bar over to the right and closing the blade. These locking bars are nice and work well for all light and normal use but be careful and do not over-stress it and put too much pressure on it.

2021 Upgraded Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint by Kaiouli

The wife has had two-foot surgeries and I have bought countless compression socks and devices to try and help her feet, as she stands on her feet all day on concrete, and nothing has helped or she just doesn’t use them, so I bought this to so she can just put it on overnight while she sleeps and let it do its thing.

It hasn’t been that long, but she does say her foot feels a little better in the morning than it has been before using this. I think just stretching the bottom foot muscle has helped take some of the pain away she has. She complained all the time she couldn’t sleep because her feet hurt so bad, but I haven’t heard that lately. So, to me, that is a win and it is doing something to help. Let’s hope, with more time, it just keeps getting better and better.

COTRE Two Way Radios Walkie Talkies

These are great and work well for what I bought them for. We do a lot of all-inclusive resorts or beach condos and we don’t use our cell phones because of the cost for international calls and text, so we got these walkie-talkies and they worked perfectly. They come with rechargeable batteries for all four walkie-talkies, which is awesome. Our last trip was to The Pyramid of Grand Cancun, which is a quarter-mile-wide resort, and these helped us keep in touch and be able to find everyone when we needed them instead of having to walk around and try and find them. Made connecting and getting food together very easy.

Put these in their charging base overnight and they last all day until the next night. They are IPX4 waterproof, so being around the pools and ocean is not an issue. They are light and easy to carry and have a weather alert if you think you may need them. On our other trip to Cancun, a tropical depression came thru and dumped 23 inches of rain in three days. Would have been nice to know that was coming in advance or know what was going on.

These are easy to use as you just pick and set a channel (check and make sure it is not being used and less static than others) and set all four walkie talkies to the same channel, then you just have to press the talk button to talk. No one had any issues using them the whole week.

Tacklife 10 x 10 Foot Popup Canopy Tent

This is fast and easy to put up. Took about 10 minutes doing it by myself. With one other person, it would take less than five minutes. Now that the canopy is installed on it, it will take less than five minutes for me to put it back up or down by myself going forward. I had very heavy winds the first day putting it up and it did very well standing, not swaying too much, and didn’t blow away and that was before I got the anchors, ties ropes, and sandbags out and on it. It is not that heavy and with the bag, it comes with, is very easy to pull and take with you when needed. So far, so good and I like it.

SnapFresh 20v Cordless 22 Inch Hedge Trimmer

I was tired of using gas/oil and/or long extension cords on all my equipment and have been changing over to battery operated since battery technology has gotten better and this was the next step. My old trimmer was electric, and I had to pull a 100 or 200-foot cord around my yard to trim bushes and I cut one cord in half, so it was time for this one. I gave my old one to my son since he only has bushes right in front of his house.

The battery on this does take about an hour to fully charge and lasts around 30 minutes if used full time but will last longer with intermittent use like most people do it. The batteries in other SnapFresh equipment will also fit this if needed and could extend the use if needed. These batteries can be swapped out between the devices, so you can use one while charging another one or two.

It is light weight and easy to set up and use. It feels comfortable in my hands and not awkward like some do. With the battery in it, it does feel pretty well balance and not like I have to hold one end up too much, so little less stress on your hands and arms.

I have trimmed everything from evergreen shrubs to honeysuckle in my yard and this has had no issues trimming everything so far. Very much and impressed with this and like it very much.
