IgotTech Texting Gloves for Smartphone & Touchscreen


IgotTech.com Texting Gloves for Smartphone & Touchscreen

I received these gloves for free in exchange for my unbiased review and evaluation.
I live in south Texas so we don't have a long cold season but we do get some cold part of the year so I really wanted to try these out. Since the cold is not our normal weather when it comes we usually are not prepared for how to deal with some things like using our phones in the cold weather.

PROS:
I have to say I was surprised with how well they fit my hands and I say that cause I have hands that lean towards the large side compared to most people. I also had my mother try them out and they fit her much smaller hands well also. The fit and feel was very good. I like the simple look that they have which makes it easy to wear with anything I decide to wear. I tried it on my ZTE Grand Max + phone and it was very responsive and accurate. I also tried it on other off brand cell phones and again they worked well. Most important though they did help with the cold.

CONS:
I will say though they may be to plain jane for some people. They also may not be the best at keeping your hands warm in very cold weather since they are on the thinner side compared to other gloves I have had.



On another note just like all gloves and sock they are easy to misplace, lol. So make sure you keep track of them.















Expandable Hose 100 Feet Green by Quality Source Products




Expandable Hose 100 Feet Green by Quality Source Products

I was chosen to receive this product at no cost to me for my unbiased and honest review. I was very excited to try this product.

First off the concept is awesome. It is a hose that expands when you run water i.e. pressure through it and when you don't it compresses back to 1/3 of its length. Super great idea that is very exciting to see in real life.

I used various times to water plants and the yard the simple on and off and had no problems with it. The hose did come with a defect that is evident when its filled with water. As you can see in the 2nd and 3rd picture its a depression area that scared me into thinking it would rupture or not let water pass but that wasn't the case. It worked great as a simple on/off hose but the problem didn't happen until we left it on one day. My father forgot to turn off the hose on night so it was left pressurized overnight. Later that day he noticed a sound that was bugging him, so he proceeded to find out what it was. The hose had a leak or so we thought. As you can see on the fourth photo it doesn't appear torn or to have a small rupture. The hose part actually ripped itself from the top of the connection and slid down and now the water leaked through the mesh covering.

KabelDirekt (6 feet) HDMI Cable (1080p 4K 3D High Speed with Ethernet ARC) - PRO Series.

KabelDirekt (6 feet) HDMI Cable (1080p 4K 3D High Speed with Ethernet ARC) - PRO Series.


I received this HDMI cable for me to evaluate and review. I have to say I really love it.
PROS:
Great sleek look
The nylon braiding on the cable really helps protecting it and making me feel secure about its durability.
The data transfer and response seems flawless.
I get great display, I had it plugged into to my Samsung LCD smart TV and to my AAXA mini projector through the use of my HMDI Pro switch.
The cord is not stiff or extremely loose and malleable.
CONS:
I didn't really have any



KabelDirekt 4K Ultra HD High Speed HDMI Switch 3 x 1 (3in/1out) (1080p 4K UltraHD 3D ) with Remote - PRO Series

KabelDirekt 4K Ultra HD High Speed HDMI Switch 3 x 1 (3in/1out) (1080p 4K UltraHD 3D ) with Remote - PRO Series
 
 
I received this HDMI Switch at a deeply discounted price for me to evaluate and review.
 

Pros:
The remote that is provided is very responsive and makes it very simple to switch between the 3 inputs.
Thanks to the remote you can set this up just about anywhere and control it especially now that we have so many wireless gadgets controls and input devices you will still be easily able to work on your things.
The actually construction of the product seems very solid and well made.
I like the look and color scheme.
I saw no delay or drop in quality in my display when using this switch.
Worked great even with my google chromecast
 
 
Cons:
Having to plug in the block is not the most convenient cause its a block.
Also the cord for the block is only like 3ft so it may not be the most convenient for all set ups.
I would like to see at least one usb port for at least power for items like my google chromecast
I think anyone who uses any hdmi enabled device should really consider buying one of these, it is well worth the price.






Kyasi New York 3-in-1 Ballpoint Pen, MicroFiber Tip Stylus and Laser Pointer

Kyasi New York 3-in-1 Ballpoint Pen, MicroFiber Tip Stylus and Laser Pointer


This is a great product.
First the bad thing about it...
CONS:
It doesn't come with a diagram/instructions so finding the stylus was hard.
Also it seems like the cap for the stylus can be lost easily since it has no place to put it if you are using the pen or stylus.

PROS:
The laser is very strong and reliable I have had 0 problems with it at all.\
The pen writes well and the weight and feel is very nice, also you can replace the ink when it runs out.
The stylus although hard to find, once I found it I was very impressed with the accuracy of the microfiber tip on my cell phone. It did not scratch or mess up my screen either.
The overall product has nice weight, sturdiness and the clip on it is not cheap.

26 Piece Sketch & Drawing Pencils Set by Colore Review and Demo



26 Piece Sketch & Drawing Pencils Set
 by Colore: Review and Demo


I received these at no cost for my honest review and opinion.

              That being said I really like the variety of pencils and charcoals in the set, the sharpeners and erasers worked well also. Each pencil felt comfortable and did not strain my fingers or hand. I also like that the pencils did not break or get eaten up easily like others and this was taking in consideration that I was drawing on a canvas panel and not paper. Like with all pencil and charcoal products you will get dirty and smear but that is expected. I did a video review and demonstration of me using these pencils to draw a portrait.




Supernova 300 Lumens Ultra Bright LED Camping and Emergency Lantern Review




Supernova 300 Lumens Ultra Bright LED Camping and Emergency Lantern  
                     


I received this at no cost for my honest review and opinion. I bought cheap D batteries for it, it uses 3 D batteries.

Pros:
Extremely easy to work you just press the button for on, press again for brighter, and then for emergency.
Its bright enough for various uses.
Its very light weigh and easy to carry.
Its compact so it doesn't take up much space so its very portable.
It runs on batteries and not ignitable fuel
It has a variety of brightness, brighter, brighter, and signal.


Cons:
I wish the carry handle had an adaptor or hook so you could place it on a place or adhere to your clothing so your hands could be free.
The light settings seem to be Bright, a little Brighter and signal light I wish the first one could of been low light.


Overall its a great lantern and its definitely worth a buy.

Thyroid Support by LES Labs



Thyroid Support by LES Labs

It is a supplement I received free of charge to try and give my honest review.

Pros:

The bottle is simple to use and seal, although you should be careful cause it's not child-proof. The pill casing is strong enough that it will not dissolve immediately in your mouth like some other pills. There is no foul taste or smell with these pills which is a great upside. You only need to take one pill a day and it really serves as a multivitamin for many things. The major result from the pills is more energy and pep that you can feel in the first day.




Cons:

It is hard to say about other direct benefits from ingredients without blood test or if you don't have clear deficiencies in the vitamins.

I would recommend this supplement as a general supplement and for anyone who feels sluggish or tired most days. I really think it can be a great multivitamin for many people.
