OULUOQI Soft Silicone Sports Replacement Band with Ventilation Holes for Apple Watch Review

Color: Nike+ 42mm M/ L size --Black

/ Grey

The OULUOQI Apple watch replacement band is a great looking band and very comfortable to wear. It does look and feel a little different than the standard band and maybe a little thinner. That could be due to the design and the holes in the band more than it is actually thinner. This isn’t an actual Nike Apple watch band, but you wouldn’t know the difference by looking at it. This is also the only way to get a Nike looking band without buying the watch again.

The black color of this band along with the gray holes in it make it look like a nice sporty watch band against the gray/silver color of the watch and I am not sure which one makes the other look better.

Something that is a little different than the original band is the pin that holds the band together when you put it on. It does need to go into the middle hole on this band, but it is also more of a straight up sticking pin than the original.

The pin on the original has more of a hook or bend to it that may help hold the band on stronger, tighter and better but time will tell once I start wearing this new band while I am working out. So far I have not had any problems with the band staying on or pulling apart while I have been wearing it.

This feels like a very nice and well-built band that should last, and if not, it does come with an 18-month replacement or refund policy from the time you purchased it.

KDL Windshield Snow Covers Oxford Cloth Windshield Sun Snow Cover Review

The KDL Windshield Snow Cover Sun Shade Protector is something I have needed for a while now living in the Mid-West with all the snow and ice. This will work great while I am at work or out and not home. I always park my car in a garage at home (won’t have a house without one now) but when you are out, it’s such a pain to scrape your windows before you can leave.

This comes wrapped up in a bag made from the same material as the cover. More like an umbrella.

The protector itself is a thick 600D Oxford cloth material that is really easy to move, hold and fold. The straps are a little on the small and thin side and at first, I thought “cheap” but as I was installing this, they work really well and stay around the mirrors without any problems. Each end has a tubular piece in it that helps to install this as well as rolling this up once done using it. The underside has a clear plastic sheeting on it to help stop moisture and from sticking to your windshield.

This doesn’t take very long to install and is pretty easy to do it. Hooking this on the one mirror first keeps it in place as you pull it across to the other side. Hook the strap on the other mirror and you are good to go. I do wish it had a third strap that would do across the inside or the car and snap together and kept in place by the car doors being closed over it to stop anyone from stealing this.

I haven’t had to use this yet since I received it, but think it should work very well. I am a little worried that with ice, this may be hard to get off the car in order to leave. That and folding this up with snow and ice on it may also be a challenge in order to get it back in the bag it gets stored in. Guess you could always throw it in the trunk and store it later? You will also need to make sure that everything gets dried sometimes as well so it doesn’t mold over time.

Overall, a very good concept and idea. We will see how practical it is and how useful it is over time and if the straps will last. Right this minute, I would say a great thing to get if you think you may need something like this.

Qooltek 2400lm 36 LED Flood Light Review

The Qooltek LED outdoor work light is great. Qooltek took a good idea and made it great by adding the batteries and making this very lightweight, portable and very easy to use. This is the only light I have seen so far that has batteries and doesn’t need to be plugged in all the time to operate.

The specs and the good:

-       2400 lumens

-       36 LED lights (3 red, 3 blue, 30 white)

-       Four (4) 200mAh lithium 18650 rechargeable batteries (included)

-       Runtime: 5.5–6 hours on low brightness and 2.5-3 hours on hi brightness

-       Light can tilt 120 degrees up and down

-       Only weighs 1.2 pounds, light weight, and portable

-       Lifespan of 50k hours

-       3 lighting modes (hi, low, strobe)

-       Battery AC charging adapter included

-       Batteries are accessible, removable and can be replaced, can extend work time if you have extras batteries available

-       Made from metal, glass and plastic with a silicone switch on/off button

-       Very bright in hi or low mode

-       Doesn’t get hot when used like normal lights

-       Metal is covered with a rubberized coating to help protect it.

-       The red and blue lights are used for emergency and will flash when put into flash mode.

Overall, I love this light. This makes working in my 100-year-old garage and basement with very limited lighting, much easier and nicer, and I can also take it with me when needed.

Novolumi 10W Super Slim IP65 Waterproof LED Flood Light Outdoor (650LM,4000K Neutral White,120V,SMD3020) Review

The Novolumi 10W LED Flood Light is just what I needed. I have a lot of trees and needed something that I could place on the back of the garage and wire directly in and not rely on solar power like a lot of the floodlights have gone to. This is made with a nice somewhat heavy white metal case that feels very well-built.

I was shocked a little at the size of this. The pictures on Amazon make this look so much bigger than it really is. I guess I really didn’t pay attention to the specs on this. Not that it really matters, it is still really bright with 10w LED light on it.

The wife cares for a feral cat colony in the back yard and goes out and feeds them at 4 am every day and needed some light behind the garage. I have a floodlight on the side corner of the garage but it doesn’t reach the back of the garage and this light will fill that void.

This comes with all the necessary hardware to install this and following the directions, took about 20 minutes to install and have up and running.

This light has a 10w very bright lights that will come on when it turned on with no lag like some LED lights.

This light in plenty bright for the wife’s need of being able to see any cats or raccoon’s that happen to show up for the 4 am feeding.

This is a really great light and works well for what I needed it for exceeds my expectations and sure it will do that for you also if you need a light like this.

Car Windshield Snow Cover Sun Shade Protector Review

The Car Windshield Snow Cover Sun Shade Protector is something I have needed for a while now living in the Mid-West with all the snow and ice. This will work great while I am at work or out and not home. I always park my car in a garage at home (won’t have a house without one now) but when you are out, it’s such a pain to scrape your windows before you can leave.

This comes wrapped up in a bag made from the same material as the cover with a draw string on it. I do wish this string had a pull ball or some kind of stopper or locking mechanism on it. This is just a string you have to manually tie to keep it closed.

The protector itself is a thin cotton material that is really easy to move, hold and fold. The straps and hooks are a little on the small and thin side and at first, I thought “cheap” but as I was installing this, you really want these types so you don’t scratch or ding your car as you are pulling this across the hood of your car. Big heavy hooks would do some damage.

This doesn’t take very long to install and is pretty easy to do it. Hooking this on the one mirror first keeps it in place as you pull it across to the other side. Hook the straps in place on the wheels and don’t forget the one that goes inside, so it doesn’t get stolen.

I haven’t had to use this yet since I received it, but think it should work very well. I am a little worried that with ice, this may be hard to get off the car in order to leave. That and folding this up with snow and ice on it may also be a challenge in order to get it back in the bag it gets stored in. Guess you could always throw it in the trunk and store it later?

Overall, a very good concept and idea. We will see how practical and useful it is really over time. Right this minute, I would say a great thing to get if you think you may need something like this.
