AstroAI Bluetooth OBD2 Smart Car Diagnostic Scanner Tool Automotive Engine Check Code Reader for Android and Windows PC by AstroAI
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing little device! Everyone should have one!, August 31, 2016
I have tried a few of these Bluetooth OBD2 adapters, and they are fantastic little devices. When paired with the Torque app from the Google Play Store, you can do all the things that used to require a very expensive device and MORE! It's simple to clear the check engine light, see diagnostic information about your vehicle and track your driving using various apps. Incredibly, this device costs less than some shops will charge just to plug their dedicated device into your car for diagnostics. Compared to previous models I've tried, this one by AstroAI is much slimmer and less obtrusive if you are looking for something that you can leave in all the time. The simple black design practically disappears when it's plugged in.

The only issue I had with this device was that the initial pairing took a long time and several tries. I ended up having to plug the device in while my car was off, start the app, then start my car, but I'm not sure the exact order before it actually connected. Fortunately, subsequent attempts have been much easier and quicker.

AstroAI was kind enough to provide me with a sample of this device so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

Drhob New Corn Threshing Stripping Round Corn Stripper Thresher Kitchen Utensil Tool (Color: Yellow) by Drhob
3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but not practical., August 23, 2016
Corn on the cob is a summer staple for sure, but for me an my family, gnawing the kernels off the cob is not how we roll. We prefer cutting the corn from the cob with a knife first. Enter the Drhob Corn Threshing tool. This product looks like a perfect match for my family and it should make the whole ordeal of eating corn on the cob better and easier. However, in practice, this product did not live up to our expectations. First, it is hard to use. It is not easy to press down on and collect the kernels. Second, it's more messy than using a knife and leaves you with a difficult dish to clean after each use. Third, it doesn't get as close to the cob as a knife. So, all told, the best use for this item is as a novelty gift, and it will get some laughs and people will think it's great, but don't expect them to actually use it in everyday life. Dhrob was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this corn thresher out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, you can Pokemon Go on your bike!, August 22, 2016
Let's get to the heart of the matter right off the bat: YES! you can Pokemon Go on your bike with this bike mount. I'm not going to lie: this is mostly why I got this. I found this mount to be very ergonomic for using my phone while riding around. It brings the phone close enough to clearly read while riding and is fairly easy to operate. I had no trouble reaching it with headphones, but it works even better with a bluetooth headset. I have tried several bike mounts for my phone, and this one has some real advantages. While it does not offer as much protection as the case-type mounts, it's far easier to actually operate your phone without having to use it through a clear plastic sheet. This is especially true if you use a fingerprint for security as I do on my Galaxy S6. The main clamp is very sturdy and similar to mounts I have used in my car, but the elastic bands offer great stability so that your phone isn't bouncing all around as you hit bumps on your bike. They are close to the screen, but in my case, they do not effect the buttons or the screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great case with superb protection., August 8, 2016
Is the case Black? Yes, I would say it’s a deep oblivion black.
This case is modular. It has two pieces, a hard plastic back that snaps on the medium rubber mold that goes around the phone. I am using this case on the LG Phoenix 2. I enjoy the smooth feel of the hard backed case, it feels rugged and my paranoia from dropping my phone has go away while using this case. The cut outs in the case are all in the right places. I can easily access the buttons. The Hard plastic feels like ABS plastic. If I wanted to I could snap the plastic, but why would I do that? The hard back is tough enough to handle the pocket drop. The drop test. Yes, I dropped my phone with this case on. 16cm inch drop on hardwood floors no problem. 91 cm drop test, aka the pocket drop on to hardwood. No problem this case handled that drop like a champ. After the drop test no signs of cracking on the glass. The rubber molding that goes around the phone under the hard back is great. It does not feel super soft and that’s what I wanted. It’s not a soft jelly mold. It’s a medium poly type rubber.

Dimensions:
1cm thick.
15cm long
7.8cm wide.

Overall rating of the case is five stars it’s a great choice for a decent modern case on a budget.

4.0 out of 5 stars You can never have too many drill bits!, August 4, 2016
You can never have too many drill bits! Particularly, the small bits included in this set are in high demand for me, since I tend to buy cheap drill bit sets and they tend to break in normal use. So far, I haven't broken any of these yet. This set is a nicely organized and clearly labeled set of bits with a hexagonal base which may or may not help you get a good fit in your drill. Personally, I like the simple, round bases since they seem to guarantee a straight bit. However, I found these to perform well in my cordless drill. Good for any of the sizes that are provided. This is a great set for hobbyists and home handypeople.
