This is a great power plug unit for traveling, the office and home. It allows for four 3 pronged plugs to receive power at the same time along with two USB plugs as well. The light on the unit tells you when it is receiving power and it has a convenient power button to turn it on and off. It takes a little bit of force to push the power button in but that is great because a mere bump can’t turn it off like other power strips do.
It is also very handy that it accepts many different international plug configurations but you will still need an adapter if you intend on using it out of the country since it is only configured to plug into standard U.S. outlets.
It seems to be made of quality material. This is the second one that I own bought a year apart and both are the same in quality. The plastic housing is solid and the 6 foot cable is well made.
I give this a 5 out of 5 stars.

I love that these pens come in such a wide variety of colors. I also love that they are easy to write with. A few drawbacks that they have.(not every review can be 100% positive.) First I was expecting the gripp to be more rubbery from the looks of it. instead it is almost as hard as a regular Bic Stik. It I have purchased these I would have been disappointed since it is not what I expected for a "Comfortable full grip barrel". Second, although they dry 3x faster it still does not work for lefty's. I did a test. I wrote "test" 3 times. Once every 5 seconds and then ran my finger over it to see how long it took to dry. The blue takes 10-15 seconds to dry which is way too long to wait if you are taking notes with your left hand. This is the first question my Sister asked me when I posted it to Instagram so it must be a very important aspect. For those of use that use our right hand these are great.
#ad From doodles to documents, my #BICGelocity gel pen can do it all! I ❤ the fast-drying ink and smooth writing. Give them a try for yourself.

With two vans that need frequent washing this is a great product to have. Using bath and kitchen towels don’t get the water off my vehicles like this does. This is like a sponge it soaks in the water and then you wring it out and kept going. Just as an experiment is I soaked it until it could not hold any more water. I then wrung it out as much as possible and measured it. It came out to 8 oz of water.
I also love that it is soft and easy to use and doesn’t get link on all over the place. The instructions say if it is hard soak it in warm water for 10 minutes to soften it up again. The tube it comes in has a hole in the bottom to drain out excess water while it is being stored.

This kit comes with three
sets of ear plugs and then a bonus set or aluminum container to carry them in.
Mine came with the free set. I was really hoping that this set would work well
for me but unfortunately it has not met my expectations. I Bought this set thinking that it would be
nice to wear ear plugs instead of a double-muffed headset for lawn work and
carpentry projects in the garage.
Especially this time of year when it is getting cold a headset is cold
on my ears and face. I also was going to give these a try while sleeping to cut
down in listening to snoring and a baby crying.
Unfortunately I can hear that
they do make a difference but no enough to warrant wearing them while sleeping
and definitely not to protect my hearing while performing my chores and doing
my hobbies. I have tried them in my cubical office as well and can still hear
people outside the office talking in the hall at a normal volume. I have not tried the moldable swimming ear
plugs yet since the instructions say they should only be good for three uses.
I do have to say that they
are comfortable to wear and don’t put pressure on my ears like others do but
that also may be the reason why they do not seem as effective either. So if I
was to rate these ease of use, being comfortable and protecting my hearing I
would have to give them a 2 out of 5 stars. the reason for this is because the
ease of use and being comfortable are necessary (one point each) but the
biggest factor is how they function. If I don’t know what after reading others
reviews of these being sold other places on Amazon that they say these work well.
I am not new to using ear plugs so I don’t think it is user error.

First of all I have to say I
love this kits and it comes at a great price. I am replacing my old heavy
soldering gun with this kit.
The soldering iron itself is
much like others in shape and size but has an on/off switch and temperature
gauge to better control. I also like the silicone handle that makes it easy to
hold and control. It has a total of 6 tips for various sizes of work. I mainly
use mine for building or repairing HAM radio antennas. With a warm-up time of
roughly one minute it is easy to change the tips fairly quickly I feel the
need. I also appreciate that this kit comes with a stand that to hold the iron
while it is on but is collapsible so it stores nicely in the kit.
The other big feature of this
kit is the digital multimeter. It does vay more than I know how to do right
now. From testing resistance, transistors, and buzzers to measuring DC and AC
voltage and currents. This same type of multimeter is very hard to find because
it has the EBCE area. I don’t know what it means just that most meters don’t
have this feature. I usually need just
the alarm feature which tells me if my wires have continuity from one end to
the other. It uses a standard 9v battery which is included in the kit and it
only take one screw to remove the door to put the battery in.
This kits has all the
necessities you need to get the job done from the wire cutter/stripper, extra
wire for your project, tweezers sold wire in a handy tube, a desoldering vacuum
pen and an 8 bit magnetic screwdriver along with a nice leather zip around case
with elastic straps to keep everything in its place.
This is the perfect kit iw
was looking for and it caving me from having to dig through things to find the
correct tools and supplies when I have project to be done.
If was to buy all these items
separately it would cost around $60-$80. The soldering iron and multimeter
alone cost more than the whole kit. 5 starts for a great product at a very
affordable price.

This waist pack is a great
size for a day hike or short outings. It carries a full size water bottle and
has a few pockets for key, change and snacks. I actually am thinking about
using it with my HAM radio. This way I have easier access to it while moving
around but still have it out of the way when I don’t need to be handling it.
The waist pack is light weight
and seems easy to keep clean. It has a few reflective ribbons on it which helps
add to the safety of the wearer when it is dark. The whole back side of it is a
semi firm foam pad with holes it so that it is breathable. The waist strap is
gets small enough that I can comfortably wear it (size 30 waist) since both
sides have the sliding loops that keep the extra strap length out of the way so
it is not hanging down which is a common problem I have with other bags.
This bag also comes with a 18
inch by 9 inch tube of cloth that can can be used in many configurations of
bandana wear. I look at this as more of a perk or add-on more than part of the
packaged deal since some of the configurations like th fairbad is way too bulky
to actually do in my opinion. Also as a bonus you get a free e-book about
"Filled with fitness basics, tips for packing efficiently and traveling on
a budget, and info on family camping, you will return home from your travels
with great adventure stories." i did not download this because they want
you to sign up to receive it through email. I don't like signing up for these
kinds of things and would much more prefer just being able to access is as a
download with out having to give my information.
If you are carrying this bag
behind you it will be hard to just put a water bottle back into its spot
without having to move the bag to the front to put it in. In my opinion if you
are using the the cord around the top of the bottle then carrying it behind you
really doesn't work anyways if you want frequent access to it. If a change was
to be made to this bag I think that the bottle holder should be more firm and
that this bag should come with a water bottle that fits snugly inside. This
would get rid of the need for the cord around the top and allow the bottle to
access and replaced easily while wearing it behind you. I realize that making
this change is exchanging convenience to the lightweight that it is so this
could be why it is made the way it is.
Over all great compact
product. 5 stars!

This is a great extension cord plug and is pretty ideal for traveling. The extension cord part may be a turn off to some but when you think about it actually is a great idea. Not all hotels have outlets on the desk or night stand so a cord to get to the plug is useful. This actually can except for standard plugs from the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Europe and China. The only catch is that the plug going into the wall is a standard US 3-prong plug so a travel adaptor would be needed in these other countries for that but that would be it. This power strip also adapts to the different power outputs so everything is taken care of.
It is also handy because it has two USB outlets on it and a power button to turn it all off together.
The construction of the cord seems to be heavy duty and well made. I like to mount mine behind my computer desk with the cord going straight down so that I can utilize all 4 outlets at a time and plug my USB’s in at the top and use the power button.
The packaging indicates that this model is updated from the last one with features including being able to supply 2500 watts at a time along with the long more durable power cord and flame retardant alloy housing material. It also has a smart matching feature where is adapts to different power output currents according to different mobile phones and devices.
I give this product a 5 star rating since there is no improvements to be made.
