Keep your good credit protected. – DASH Co.’s RFID Extra Capacity Bifold Men’s Wallet.

RFID for your financial protection. Now as our kids grow up, we need to talk about another form of protection, lol. Your credit cards need protection too. Without it, you are fair game to predators. RFID wallets are now coming out on the market in all forms and styles. You are no longer limited to those hard cases. I never carried one of those. RFID protection makes it so a predator can’t walk by you and scan your credit cards, thus stealing the card information, and your good credit. It’s pretty much a must have nowadays. This particular wallet, from Dash Wallet is fully protected. For a wallet, it has so much storage too; 9 compartments. The billfold area has 2 compartments to it. You can store checks in one, for those that keep a couple on you, or receipts for work. Or if you are a compulsive organizer, this may be a dream to be able to divide your bills just so. The wallet is made out of a pleather. It has a texture to it. It is not the fake leather style, where its’ smooth. I actually like this better. It has a matte finish to it, and the grip is pretty solid. I like the style of it as well. It is not a plain Jane wallet.

Since it is pleather, there is that usually pleather scent to it. It was very well wrapped up, even inside of the nice gift box it arrives in. The scent starts to fade after you unwrap it. Since it is pleather, it is also easy to wipe off, for you outdoorsy, hardworking people. The cost of this wallet is minimal too. If you are hard on your wallets, like one of my sons is, then this may be a great choice for you. The stitching on this wallet is well done, tight and on point. Mine has no imperfections and measures out at: 5″ x 4″ x 1/4″. It is fully lined, and the lining is black as well. Overall, it’s a well-made wallet, that will help you protect your credit cards, and all for a remarkably low price.

A great self defense tool. – Smart Security’s Brand New Survival Tactical Pen.

Tactical pens are a great tool to have on you. You can pretty much always have one on you too, be it in your purse, brief case, or on your person. It spans almost all jobs, including being a student. After all, it is a pen. My guys have used a tactical pen for a few years now, so I have claimed this one for myself. A tactical pen is much more than a pen. It is also a means to defend yourself, if in need to do so. The end of the pen has a Tungsten steel tip. You can use this to defend yourself easily, as well as, use it to free yourself from your car in an accident. This will act just like a glass breaker since it can be used to slam an attackers’ head very well. I slammed it into a piece of plywood several times without issue, to test it out. You can’t even tell I tried to rough it up. The actual pen itself is made out of aircraft aluminum alloy. That is what a lot of flashlights are made out of too, for comparison. It is very durable pen! It arrives in a plastic container, that is foam lined and reusable. It was recycled from past flashlights they used to sell. I like seeing things being recycled. The pen actually comes with a refill, which is not usual from the tactical pens we have purchased in the past. The pen writes very smoothly out of the box. The cap is a screw on cap, and there is also a pocket clip. The pocket clip holds pretty well. It is silver in color, and can be removed if you choose to. The top unscrews off, and then you can take the pocket clip off, and then screw the top cap back on. This is not as heavy as some tactical pens, but not as light as a regular pen either. You can take this pen on an airplane, which is good to know. that even there, it will be there for you. Overall, this is a well-made pen. It writes smoothly, and is pretty durable. The pocket clip is not the strongest of pocket clips, but if you are not rough on pens, like my guys can be, it works just fine. With the Tungsten tip, and the strong body, this pen can be trusted to be able to defend yourself with it.

Your third eye on the road. – Ivations’ Dash Cam

We have purchased and reviewed quite a handful or dash cams over the past couple of years. So, we are not new to them. In today’s litigious society, and reckless drivers, I agree with the need for owning one. You really can’t go wrong. This camera has great specs. It is a 1080p camera, and it really does produce clear video. It picks up audio pretty clearly as well. You can use it as a camera when needed in an emergency, and it has G-sensor. So, in an accident, or an instant when the car experiences a sudden jarring, it will automatically record and save, without looping over, the entire incident. Otherwise, the camera stops the video around every 3 minutes, and starts a new one. You also won’t be able to overwrite the video, which would ruin the evidence.

(I took these photos with the Dash Cam)

When I went through my videos, they averaged 3 minutes and 4 seconds a piece. This has been the easiest dash cam I’ve had in regard to setting the date and time on. Most others I’ve had to attach them to my computer to do it, or it was an act of Congress on the cam itself, lol. This one walks you through the date, the first time you turn it on. If you press the settings button, you can set the exact time on it. This unit comes on automatically when you start your car. Now, if you plug it in after your car is running, you need to manually start it, or just turn your car of and restart it. When you turn your car off, it will turn off. This unit comes with a 32gb Class 10 micro SD card with the adapter so it can be plugged into your laptop. You need a minimum of a class 10 to get good video quality, so I was happy to see this. You can get a solid day of all day driving on a 32gb. If you like to save your videos, on a trip, I would bring back up micro SD cards. A 32gb card is the largest it accepts. The video is very clear. This unit saves somewhat of a charge. Enough to be able to view your videos from the unit, and to use it as a camera. In an accident, you can then take it out of the car to take still photos if you want to. It has an old fashioned style charging port. I always save my old cords, so I am able to charge it in home. Otherwise it only comes with a 12V charging cord. They do include two mounting plates, so you can take it from your car to your spouses, without taking the mounting bracket out. It’s a suction cup style, and it stays pretty well on your window. The cord is very long, so you could mount it in your rear view window. This would only be beneficial if your state has front license plates, in my opinion.

Overall, this unit is reliable for recording. It’s easy to take photos with, with only a touch of the screen. The menu is easy to operate. The video and voice recording is clear, very clear. The only bad, which is a negative to me, is that the Wi-Fi is not usable on this unit. The app is DashCam Remote, and it is free form the Playstore. I have a Galaxy Note 5. It won’t open on my phone. You need to have an old phone or tablet to get it to open, from what I have researched, and I have researched a lot! We have an older tablet. I can get the app to open, but it would never, ever connect to the Wi-Fi. They have updated the app after my first initial attempt, but I am still having the same problems. I am happy to see that they are taking the feedback seriously, and are working on the issue. That gives me a lot of faith in it. Does not being able to use the Wi-Fi affect the camera, nope. But, it is definitely still the best dash cam I have tested, to date!

Inspection time. – [Upgraded Version] Ragu Directs’ Distianert Endoscope 8.5MM 2.0 Megapixel 2 In 1 Smartphone + USB

My husband and older son are commercial electricians, and carpenters. They work in really tight spaces sometimes, and when they go into an existing build and have to trouble shoot problems, an endoscope really helps them out. They already have and use one, so we are not new to them. We were happy to see this upgraded version. We already have one that we use via our Android phones and one that you need your computer on deck, to use it. This one has upped the game with technology, at an affordable price. We have Samsung phones: Edge 6 and Note 5, in our homes. This unit just plugs and plays via the camera. You need to flip up half of the USB port, to turn it into the micro USB end. Then attach it to your phone, and open up your camera. You have to agree to it, and then you are in. Then just follow the icons to snap photos or take videos. That is literally all you have to do. Your chosen decide you plug it into, is what powers it. As soon as you plug it in, the 6 LEDs turn on. They are very bright. Now, even though it is highly usable without the app on my phone, I went ahead and scanned the QR code in the instructional booklet, after using it both on my phone and laptop. So, it isn’t necessary, if you have limited space on your phone. The app is called UsbCamera, and it is free. You can’t even look at the app without the camera not being plugged in either. Then, you still have to allow your phone to use the camera for the USB. So, there really is no difference on my Note 5. This endoscope comes with drawstring storage bag, head attachments, an instruction booklet, and a mini CD. Now, I have a newer laptop with Windows 10 on it. I never install via a disc, unless I have too. So, I always try things straight forward, and then try the items it comes with, to really test out a product. It literally plugged into my laptop, and automatically installed its’ drivers. I never had to load the mini disc. This unit is 13ft long, and the head diameter is 8.5mm. It comes with a mirror, hook, and magnet attachments. They are simple attachments, and the magnet keeps coming loose on me. It is waterproof. So no worries about looking into clogged drains and toilets. Now. I did delete the app off of my phone shortly after install. With use, it stopped working well with the endoscope for me. It works better as plug and play on my phone. I was not able to separately control my LEDs, in regards to their brightness levels. That didn’t matter to me. They are bright, and when you shove it into places, it’s normally dark where you’re using it. The images aren’t as clear as my regular camera, or laptop camera is, but the images are still legible. These are the resolution specs from their site: “1600*1200 & 2.0 Megapixel.” You can tell it’s a 2megapixel camera. But, since this can send you a clear enough image to diagnose with, it’s all we need. It has been working well for us. We love the plug and play simplicity with the phone. It is so much more convenient for my guys this way. And it fits into any tool bag, as well.

Feeling Patriotic? – Luckyclicks’ American Flag Cufflinks Flag of USA Cuff-links with Velvet Gift Box

Cufflinks are so much fun. They really change the look and feel of a suit, or even, just a dress shirt. I feel that any American Flag is beautiful, so I really love these. Are they the best cufflinks around, nope. But, I didn’t expect that, lol. My set arrived in perfect condition. The silver tone finish on it was not chipped or scratched. It was nice and shiny, like it’s supposed to be. They do not mention the actual metal they are made out of, but they never rest on your skin, really, so they shouldn’t bother people even with metal sensitivities. The actual cufflink bar mechanism is attached very firmly, and works very well. My flags measure out at ¾” x ½” in size. These are my measurements. It’s a great size for a cufflink; very visible. The entire top of the cufflink is the flag, and it has a thick clear resin covering over it. This was also done well on my pair; no nicks or scratches, or bubbles. The resin finish also helps them shine in the light. The cufflinks arrive in a really pretty gift box, just as shown. Overall, they are made well, they are patriotic, and function perfectly. I think they would make a great gift.

You can customize your own Dog Tag Necklace! – RitzPix’s Customizable Aluminum ID Tag With Chain.

Customized products are so fun to both do and receive. I’ve been able to do a few customized products recently, and it is always a memorable experience. Our photo albums are so different from years ago, and we don’t just sit and randomly go through old photos. So, seeing products with special photos on them, is such a great experience. This aluminum dog tag necklace with chain is beyond cute. You can do anything with it too. The theme and feeling of the dog tag will depend on the photo you choose for it. My younger son is really into FNAF (Five Nights at Freddys). He loves the character Foxy, too. They do sell FNAF dog tag necklaces, but you can’t pick and choose. They are only available in surprise packs. So, I had a picture of him in his costume. I chose to upload that picture. Now he has his Foxy necklace, and it’s really him. He just loves, loves, loves it. The chain is the usual ball chain that accompanies this style necklace. It can fit over your head, at 24”. But, it does have the usual clasp opening as well. The charm itself is 2” long and 1 ¼” wide. The photo will be printed on one side, and the backside is all white. The photo I uploaded is bright, vivid, and clear. When you go to purchase this item, you have to have your photo ready to upload. You cannot even put the item in your cart without having the photo ready. So have that in mind when ordering a customized product. If it comes up as your file is too large, just crop your photo and reload it. It works almost every time. Since it is aluminum, you won’t have to worry about it rusting. The finish was done professionally, and we just love it. This is a great product for anyone as a gift, or of your spouses or family members’ photo, while they are deployed. Or even as a memento of a loved one that has passed.

Good morning to ya! – Have a Nice Day Coffee Mug, Funny Cup with Middle Finger on the Bottom 14 oz. – by Decodyne.

Lol, was the first reaction I had to this mug. I find it absolutely hilarious, and I can picture so many people I know, using it too. I specifically got this mug for my oldest. He runs his own company, and can be quite stressed. This mug can give him a sense of amusement for sure. When it’s placed on your table, it looks like such a happy, sweet mug. When you tip it up, ba bammmm! I love it. The middle finger image is 3D. You can feel it and understand it, even if you were blind. So, everyone can enjoy this mug. The, Have A Nice Day, words are not in 3D, unfortunately. They are printed on nicely though. The words are also only printed on one side of the mug only. They state that this is a 14oz mug, but I measured the amount of fluid that can comfortably fit into the mug. You can fit 10oz of fluid in it, and still be able to walk to your table, desk, etc., with it. Any more than that, it will probably slosh over the rim. The rim is curved downward to make for a comfortable drinking experience. It feels comfortable on the lips, is what my mom likes to say. And, it is very comfortable to hold. You can comfortably fit your 4 fingers into the handle, if you have smaller hands. Otherwise, there is room for three, which isn’t as comfortable. This mug is also designed for right handers, due to the positioning of the Have A Nice Day statement and the finger direction under the mug. Our mug arrived in perfect condition. I had no discolorations, scratches, or chips in the mug. This is most definitely a gift worthy product. It comes nicely packaged, and will bring an instant smile, once they see the bottom, lol. It’s the perfect coworker gift for sure. We absolutely love it.

Beer time. – Solstus’ Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated 12oz Can Colster

It is not a secret that my family loves its’ stainless steel tumblers. Since the tumblers have become widespread and heavily used, new forms have emerged. My older son gave the Yeti stainless can kozies, as gifts for Father’s Day this past year. So, we even have those, lol. This particular Solstus koozie is a competitor that has hit the market. There are some differences to this one, that makes it more usable for bottled beers, than the Yeti can koozie. This one’s shape is just slightly different. So, it can easily accommodate both 12oz cans and bottles. It is made out of plastic and stainless steel. There is even a secret, thermal lock gasket, that helps to secure your bottle or can. It definitely held our Corona really well. It didn’t rock at all, in the Koozie; a perfect fit. The stainless steel is 18/8 stainless, and it is vacuum sealed, double wall construction. That is what gives it it’s great insulation properties. The plastic is part of the screw on top. It is threaded well, and easy to do. Just unscrew the top, and place your bottle or can inside of it, and screw the top back on. Then, just enjoy, relax, or party. Whatever is on your agenda. It is stated that this koozie will keep your drink cooler 10X longer than without. It definitely keeps it cooler longer, I can attest to that much anyways. I like the little added green color of this holster. We like to call it Zombie Green, lol. It’s a fun twist to a stainless koozie. I love the no sweat factor this koozie delivers. And, you do not have to worry about it rusting here on the coast, since it is made out of quality stainless steel. It is just like our stainless steel tumblers. It’s comfortable to hold and use. It’s sturdy in construction, and highly durable. We have no complaints.

The professional way. – Sohosparks’ Leather Journal, Lined, Extra Refill, Writer’s Notebook.

My older son loves to keep a journal in his truck for work, and plans. He loves using journals like this. He may be young, but he has old fashioned tastes. He much rather use a notebook like this over regular, disposable ones. It definitely has a more professional appeal and look to it. It makes you stand out a bit in the crowd, as well. This journal has lined pages in it, and a red ribbon as a page keeper. Even the refill notebook has a red ribbon page keeper. I think that is a really nice touch. It definitely beats a book mark, which can fall out, or bending the page over, which starts to be an issue after numerous pages have been marked in this way.

The Journal is indeed 8.5” long and 6 inches wide. It is almost an inch thick too. Which, is a very convenient size to carry. It is so easy to change out the internal notebook. The front and back cover just slide into coordinating pockets, that’s it. No skill required. I really like the embossed design on the Journal. The back is plain, and the front has a Latin saying,” Semper Explorans”. Meaning, always exploring. Then, they top it off with the compass design. It was nicely done. My journal arrived in perfect condition. It had no odor to it. The notebooks were in solid shape. I am loving the fact that they included the refill. It really is handy to have. No worries about ordering any, any time soon. They state the size of the refill is A5. The books have 120 pages in each one. The book has a leather look, but is made out of pleather. All of the stitching on the book was well done. There is no odor to it whatsoever. It should definitely last awhile. They did a great job with this product. My husband actually claimed this set for his work. Overall, this is a well-made professional product. It would definitely make for a great gift.

Perfect for on the go. – RobinTech’s Premium Wireless Bluetooth Headphones.

My guys live with their headphones on. They are commercial electricians, and need to be available by phone at all times, but have to keep their hands free to work, obviously. And, not just work, but while driving too. Wireless, Bluetooth headphones are an essential for them. They also need to be durable to put up with the wear and tear they give them. This set from RobinTech is pretty nice. It arrives nicely packaged. Not the cheaper mail order packaging, used a lot, nowadays. In you package you will get 1 headphones, 1 micro USB charging cable, 1 instruction pamphlet, 1 storage case, 2 pairs of extra silicone ear buds (different sizes), and a little plastic clip to keep your wires gathered. They suggest charging them in full before use. A full charge from empty only takes about 1 ½ hours. There is a tiny red LED light showing it’s charging, and this light turns blue, when the earphones are fully charged. I love not having to guess; simple pleasures. The internal battery is an 85mAh battery. It may seem small, but for headphones, it’s not too shabby at all. You will actually get about 6 to 8 hours of play/talk time. The louder you play your music, the less battery time. The more you do on it, also cuts into battery time as well. If you have a week charger, it may take longer to charge. The ear buds are labeled R and L, on the ends. All of the controls, including the charging port are located on the right ear. On the side of the right ear, you will see their logo. This is actually the power/multipurpose button. Press and hold to turn on and pair. It will flash red/blue, and comes up Robintech to pair. It paired immediately with my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone. The sound quality is fantastic, and their CVC 6.0 Noise cancellation technology, coupled with how well thee ear buds sit in your ear, really work. My husband was trying to talk to me, while sitting right next to me, and I was clueless, lol. They have a really high water proof rating, IPX7, which means you can shower with them. Most headphones have an IPX6 rating, so this one has upped the game. My husband sweats like it’s raining when he’s working out, and working hard, lol. He has ruined many a headphone due to this. So, we shall see how long these last with him. These have the normal 10m/33ft distance from the Bluetooth deice, rating. That is same room. If you go behind a wall or door, it will drop the signal. Now, on top of the bar, on the R earphone, you will see a + and – buttons. You short press to lower, or heighten the volume, and long press to move forward or restart your song. You can also pair two devices at once, which is pretty cool. It does work with both Android and IOS systems. I only tested with Android, and these headphones worked flawlessly for me.

Here is a quick break down of some functions. They had it listed in their instruction pamphlet like this:

Ending a Call – Short press the MFB one time

Rejecting a Call – Short press the MFB for one second

Last Number Redial – Press the MFB twice

Cancel/End Dial in Practice – Short press the MFB one time

Music Pause/Play – Short Press the MFB one time

See, very basic, and easy to do.

The ear hook design is one of my favorites. My older son loves it as well. You can do handstands, and they stay put. My long hair knocks everything else out. Now, if you wear glasses, it makes this design a tweak harder. You have to put the earphones on first, and then your glasses. I was able to do this without issue. I love how they actually state the phone number when you call, so there is no guessing. That is important when you are driving. You never have to glance at your phone, even for a second. If you have to use your phone while you drive, due to work. Then having a solid pair of Bluetooth headphones is imperative. The calls came through loud and clear. The listener also heard what I was saying, or my husband, without issue. Overall, these are turning out to be a solid pair of headphones, and we are very happy with them.
