Cycle Torch Night Owl USB Rechargeable Bike Light #mycycletorch

I took some picture to like they did on their website to show the distance that these light can be seen. Both the headlight and tail light can be seem from at least 500 away in their high or constant state. The taillight which runs off of 2 CR2032 button batteries lasts up to 50 hours. The headlight is rechargeable and will last anywhere from 2-40 depending on what mode it is used with. The recharging is done by an included USB cable which allows you to charge it in the same way you would change any of your other devices.

View of red tail light from over 500 feet away (bright light red light white lights straight ahead of walking tracks in the snow)

I need to mention that this headlight has a charging indicator that I have not seem on other lights. If I press the button for 3 second and then release it will flash the light for every 10% of batter life remaining. For instance mine just flashed 8 times so it still has 80% battery life which means that I used it for about 24 minutes since I have only used it on high. Reading though the manual online it warns that:

“It is strongly recommended to recharge Night Owl 200 when there is less than 20% load (see: check the battery charge level). Do not wait until the light goes completely out as this will greatly reduce the number of charge cycles that the battery can be used and can render the battery unusable. Charge your bike light each 2-3 months when stored or not in use to prevent battery degradation.” 

This is important to note because I am used to running a light almost dead and then putting in new batteries. Since this is rechargeable I don’t have the option of carrying batteries for replacement.

One of the other features that I really like is the rubber bands to are used to strap the light onto the bike. They have incidental sections to that it fits multiple sizes of handle bars or seat posts. I the web site days that the headlight can also be mounted on a helmet with additional hardware not provide in the original package. What makes this set up really nice for me is it is a breeze to move the lights from one bike to another or to remove them while be bike is parked in a public area.

Overall the dimensions are small and they are light weight but don’t be fooled. This set is very bright and much better than others that I have had. Cycle Torch has done a great job at providing a great products at a very affordable prices. Not to mention that the 365-days returns completely free warranty registration page on their website literally has only 6 fields to fill in to cover the product.

Garden Hose Hand Sprayer Nozzle - Professional Quality Spray Gun Heavy Duty 8 Pattern Spray Settings for High Pressure & Adjustable Water Flow (Set of 5 Pc) by Prosyner

Needs instructions and lacks water shutoff in the connector., November 23, 2016

This review is from: Garden Hose Hand Sprayer Nozzle - Professional Quality Spray Gun Heavy Duty 8 Pattern Spray Settings for High Pressure & Adjustable Water Flow (Set of 5 Pc)

This nozzel is great but need insructions if the included parts are going to be in the package. This nozzel is in good compition with its competiotors and maybe a step ahead of some due to the thumb trigger that contols the water flow. It has 8 spary pattersn for a wide variety of uses and with the preasure being able to be adjusted easily without have int to continue to hold a trigger it is up their as one of my favorites. I rated this as just OK because i feel it is lacming in some areas.

The major areas is the lack of instructions. I ordered this partially because it seemed to be a quick connect set up but most of the extra parts don't screw onto a hose. The only thing I can think of is that it is pleased on a hose to repair on that has had the ends cut off. If that is the case it is a great idea but I wish i had known that before i bought it and that their were instructions to show me how to do it correctly instead of guessing.

Another issue that I hope will be addressed is the fact that it is a quick connect but I still have to shut off the water before connecting it. May be I am expecting too much or am lazy but other quick connect adapters have had a mechanism in the female end that does not allow water flow unless the male end is seated firmly in the connection.

Please don't get me wrong. I like this product but wish it functioned better to my expectations. As a side note it does come with extra rubber washers.

Extra length if you need it, November 23, 2016

This review is from: Extra long Anti Slip Bath & Shower Mat - Luxury Sure Grip Safety Cups for Maximum Resistance , Antibacterial %100 PVC and BPA Free Shower Rug for Tubs in Bathrooms 16'' x 40'' (Gray) (Baby Product)

I will start by saying that I did not measure before i bought this so the mat is longer than I needed but that is OK. We previously had a mat in our tub mainly to keep the baby who is now sitting up from sliding around in the tub. It is also great for the safety of my other children as well. this mat functions and appears very similar to the other mat with one main difference (besides the length) of the cut-out on one end that goes around the drain. My chief complaint with the other mat was that it partially covered the drain making it slower to let the water out. This has fixed the issue.

My kids like this mat because "the bumps feel good on my feet" and the suction keeps it in place. If is kind of funny to listen to it when you peel it up to when cleaning the tub and at first all my kids wanted to try. i had to tell them that it was not a toy otherwise they all were going clean the tub just so they could have a turn peeling it up...I must be sick not allowing my kids to do extra, unnecessary chores.

5 stars. I lives up to its claims and I have no complaints since I can't find anything wrong with it.

Good product with a twist, November 23, 2016

This review is from: Premium Glow-in-the-dark Boys Pacifier Clips - 3 Binky Holders Pack - Including Ring Silicon Adapters - Never Lose a Paci Even in The Dark - Universal fit - MAM, NUK, Philips Avent Soothie (Baby Product)

I like this product. I have other pacifier clips that work equally well to these in most ways but these stand out because of a few key features.

As a comparison the similarities include:
*made of durable cloth material
*seams are well sewn
*attractive pattern
*ability to use with more than just pacifiers
*washable
*great clips made of plastic

The differences that make these stand out from the competitor:
*they glow in the dark when they have been in the light for a sufficient amount of time
*the sting to attach to the pacifier or toy of a thinner ribbon than the thin braided strings of others
*the silicone attachment for "old school" pacifiers-this may be useful for some for their intended purpose but for me they are just great for my baby to chew on.

Simple and well made., November 18, 2016

This review is from: Vorfreude 10 Pack Cable Clips & Cord Management Drops 3M Self Adhesive Stick On Organizer for Car, Ethernet, PC, USB, iPhone, HDMI, or Desk (Large Triple) Assorted Multicolor (Office Product)

Simple and is the name of the game. I have been using binder clips to hold come of my cables for awhile now. They work alright but you have to have the right size for the desk thickness which also determines what size cord it will hold. If the desk was thick i would have to use a 1' binder clip but then the lightning charging cable would fall through it. The Vorfreude® Cable Clips take care of these issues.
I love that they come in different colors but you can also get them in plain white of black if you want to be more conservative. The 3M sticky backing is great and hold well. I have also tried to peal the cable clip off a few of my desks a number of time to see if the stickiness is a one time thing or if they will hold be placed a few different time. I am happy to say that they re-stick and have not even pealed up the wood laminate finish like other sticky things might.
I also like that the set I have has three channels which allows me to have multiple cables secured at the same time without having to use multiple cable clips.
5 stars for a simple well made product that I have needed for a while.

U-FIT Top Performance Swim Goggles - Comes With Case! by U-FIT

Great Goggles. Great Company., October 31, 2016

This review is from: U-FIT Unisex UV Protection Anti Fog Scratch Resistant Lenses Non Leaking Performance Swimming Goggles Bundle with Swimming Goggle Case (Misc.)

I love these swimming goggles. I have another pair made by U-FIT and these are very similar to them. The seals around the eyes are great and don’t leak like many other brands have. I also really like that the headband has a clasp on the back that allows you to remove the googles very easily. I also like the ratcheting mechanism on either side of the back clasp. This allows you to get an even tightening of the goggles and keeps them as tight as desired not like the others that adjust on the sides by the lenses. These are very comfortable. The U-FIT goggles are my favorite. Now that I have 2 pairs I am not sure how to choose which ones to use!

Other than the lack of ear and nose plugs with these the only difference between these and the other pair I have is the nose piece. Both are flexible and work well so I am not quite sure why they are different except for looks.

The other difference is the nice storage case they come in. The case is made of a hard plastic with a hinge on the bottom and holes on the underside. A great feature of the case is the twisting lock on the top that has a hole in it so that the case can be hung.

U-FIT is a great company that stands behind their quality products.

A little bit goes a long way., October 10, 2016

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Paint Sealant for Long Lasting Protection and Shine. Synthetic Polymers Seal the Surface to Prevent Damage and Produce Deep Glossy Coat. TriNova - 18oz

This works true to its claims. When I first started using this product I noticed that it goes on with a pink tint. That was very nice for me since I am a first-time user of this type of product. The pink helped me more easily see where I had done and get a more even coat. I like that this product does not have a very powerful smell like I was expecting it to have. Much like the product the instructions were simple and straightforward.

When I ordered the paint sealant I was especially interested in using tit on an area of my hood where I had to repaint some major pain peeling. The last time I repainted these areas I was in a hurry and did a horrible job. After using this sealant in this area I can tell that although it is not completely bringing it to a shine like other areas would it does still obviously protect the car's surface providing a shield against the hazards of the road. i just took another look at it and compared it to an area I had left untouched and the dirt that is on my car again from driving it for a few days brushes right off on the protected area but not so easily on the untouched area. I tried to get some good pictures for comparison but I am not sure they really show it that well.

I have used the the Car Wash by TriNova and this uphold the same standard. As far as I can tell from these two products they have a very high standard and are consistent with it.

AYL beats the compition, September 28, 2016

This review is from: SoundFit Plus Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker - Durable Portable Outdoor Wireless Sound System - Features Powerful Bass and Clear Treble - Hands-Free with Built-In Microphone - Dust and Shock Resistant (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The SoundFit Plus is a packs a lot of power for its size. I was built to be rugged and used in the outdoors with litterally no cords attached due t its bluetooth capapabilities and its long battery life.

I was in search of a bluetooth speaker that I could use in my garage and backyard area. This seemed to fit the bill nicely due to its size and water resistant qualities. I also found out it was a great option because of its rugged build. Th corners are wrapped with rubber bumpers to help protect during a fall as well as the micro usb charging port and aux input.
In using this outside I can stick it on my deck and and hear it thoughout my backyard (1/3 acre). I have to be careful to not turning it all the way up or else the neighbors will hear it as well.
One aspect of it is that it is portable. They say it is perfect for outdoor sports, travel, bicycle/bike, cycling, climbing, camping, hiking, running, fishing use wich is nice although to me it seems a little heavy for climbing or hiking. It would be really cool to use the universal ¼-20 on the bottom with a mount to connect it to a bike and use it while leasurly riding around but again the weight of it for mountain biking may be a concern.
Keep in mind with all the use you want to do with it that it only takes 3 hours to fully charge and will last for 12 hours.

I have used a few other Bluetooth speakers and this one sets itself above them because of the long batter life, durability and the powerful output. I have a small one that could compete with this ones portability because it is one that will fit in the palm of your hand. I have another one that sits on our book self and can beat this one because it plugs into the wall and will last as long as we have electricity in the house but it does not have as loud of an output as this does. I compare these other ones I have used to show that over all this SoundFit Plus does everything it can to pack a lot of features into its product.

Good useful product overall., September 27, 2016

This review is from: Cozia Design MaxPro Balaclava Ski Mask + Versatile Headband - Perfect Ski Bundle

This Balaclava has so many options to choose from that it makes it a really good choice for a “one-size-fits-all” type of article. I intended to mostly use this in the colder weather. It did also come with a bandanna that is sewn into a tube and is also multi-functional in its use.

It says it uses CoolMax special engineered polyester fibers which I am guessing is the front breathable panel It has no skin irritation fabric. The rest of the fabric seems to be fleece which has a 4-way stretch property and the seams are pretty flat so the whole thing fit the contour of your head and face without extra bulk. Both packages have some form of

I really like this because now I don’t have to wear a hat and neck warmer and keep track of both. This allows for the option of either or together. It is warm and fits fairly well. I ordered a medium and hope that is does not squeeze my head too much and give me a headache. I am trying to figure out if a large would end up being too big but don’t want to hassle with a return and then ordering a new size. My head is 21.5 inches around and the medium feels a little tight even though it is listed as 21-22 inches and large/x-large is 22 and over.

The other issue is that when breathing it fogs up my glasses a bit unless I breather a little harder to push the air straight out of the mask instead of upward. I would also like to see some better instructions. The packaging has graphics fairly straight forward for the Balaclava but the bandanna's are printed on the plastic bag and are really hard to see and understand. I had to put a piece of paper in the bad to be able to see the images but a lot of them still did not make much sense (See my images).

I like this product but don’t think it is totally flawless so I give it 4 stars.

Toddler Leash, PYRUS Child Safety Harness Fall Protection Handheld Kid Keeper Safety Walking by PYRUS

The handle used for the adult to help hold the child while they learn to walk it great. It is very sturdy and easy to grip, September 26, 2016

This review is from: Toddler Leash, PYRUS Child Safety Harness Fall Protection Handheld Kid Keeper Safety Walking (Baby Product)

This harness allows parents to help their children start to walk without having to constantly be bent over to hold their child hands. It also can be used for helping a child stay sitting on a chair while feeding if you don’t have a high chair or booster seat. It also can be used as leash once your child is walking to give them the freedom of movement but but still keep control of them close by.

Mu little one is in the very early stages of walking. Right now she pulls herself up to stand at the couch, chairs and table. In preparation of her walking I decided to get this so we are ready when she decided to be more adventurous. Currently she is too small for the harness since the blue chest wrap does not tighten around her enough. In PYRUS defense they do list with chest sizes from 45 cm to 72 cm so I can’t fault them for that. It still will work well once she grows into it and it functions as it should while using it on a chair.

The handle used for the adult to help hold the child while they learn to walk it great. It is very sturdy and easy to grip. The length of the straps going down to the harness or adjustable and long enough for my liking and comfort. When it comes to using this on a chair I am not sure how to get it tight enough that they can’t wiggle around using the long strap with a handle to wrap it around the chair since at its smallest size it is still too long and just using the small straps parts on the harness they do not go wide enough to go around the chair back. The only way I can figure out (since it does not come with directions) is if there ar slats in the back of the chair for the small straps to go though.
The harness that wraps around the child is well padded and seems like it would be comfortable to wear do to the breathable material on the inside and the thick padding. The shoulder straps seem to help give it good support as well for walking and as part of a leash and keep it from twisting around while being worn.

If this product is looking to improve I would make the following changes.
1. Have instructions for the different types of setups it is intended for. The pictures online are great printing something would be even better since the online pictures only show walking setups.
2. Put clips on the either side of the handle so that it can be removed and the longer straps can be used independently for the leash while walking around and will give better options of length to wrap around a chair.
Overall I like this product and it works for my main needs which is for teaching to walk and using as a leash.

This review is from: RAAYA GARDEN HOSE NOZZLE Heavy-Duty High-Pressure Flow Control - Equipped with Quick Connectors / Rubber Washer - Convenient Garden Watering and Car Washing - Maximum Satisfaction

This hose nozzle is one of the most heavy duty , durable nozzles I have every seen. It is made of 100% heavey duty metal and coated with a rubbery coating that will protect is from rust and corrosion.

The durability of this nozzle is what sets it apart from almost all other nozzles. It has many key features that you would expect from this type of product including the variable spray pattern to the trigger lock that keep the water flowing without have to continuously squeeze the trigger however the ergonomic handle is very comfortable and easy to hold onto even when wet.

Once part that I really like is the quick release feature on it but at the same time would like to see improved. Although the connector on the nozzle is metal the part that goes on the hose is all plastic. This product would be superior to almost any other nozzle if the connector was metal. The other issue that that did not hold up to my expectations was the fact that a quick connect is not as useful if you still have to turn off the water to connect to it. The hole in the quick connect does not have a valve in it that stays closed until it is opened by the presence of a quick connect nozzle being securely attached. The alternative at this point for me is to put a shut-off valve on the hose before the quick connect.

Because it did not function as I expected but still is a great product over all I will give this a 4 star rating.

Quick and easy setup. Lightweight, September 13, 2016

This review is from: Premium Outdoor Hammock for Hiking, Camping, Backpacking & More - FREE Hanging Straps! - Parachute Nylon Fabric - Compact & Lightweight Set - Bag, Stainless Steel Carabiner, Rope and Tree Straps

Lets just start by saying I have always wanted a hammock. Most of the ones I have seen are a cotton or canvas material. This hammock by TripWorthy is made from parachute nylon fabric. This is actually really good because this is made to use while backpacking and camping so it stays lightweight.

This comes with everything you need including the hanging straps. The straps are very sturdy and are sewn into a tube shape so that the rope slides through it and you can still get the straps placed on the tree where you want them. Once the straps were on I tied the ropes with an overhand knot and connected the stainless steel carabiners. It was that simple and quick.

This hammock is generously sized allowing for multiple people to enjoy it side by side. There is a warning that it should not exceed 500 ponds though. Another great feature is the bag that it packs into is sewn to the side so it never goes missing. The strap hanging down from the bag is what is used to keep the bag closed. The bad also gives you a nice pocket to put smaller items in while in the hammock although I would not use it for open drinks because it is not sturdy enough for that.

TripWorthy has its name all over this since they are not shy about their products and stand behind every one of them. In my experience I can not find anything wrong with this product which is not a surprise, so I have given it 5 stars.
