Multifunction Digital Food Scale Review

Multifunction Digital Food Scale Review

 

 

Buy at Amazon

Today I’d like to show the Aickar Multifunction Digital Food Scale. There isn’t much to say, its a small inexpensive digital scale. It was $12.96 with prime shipping.

I liked how it measures the fluid ounce volume of both milk and water by caluclating the weight.  That is both useful and neat.

I thought it was a little flimsy feeling when I took it out of the box, but that was before my wife knocked it off the table and tried to break it (on accident).  It came through the incident nicely, and a quick check of accuracy by measuring a known volume of water showed it to still be accurate.

Some of the features are that it is:

 

Multifunctional

The Aickar Kitchen Weight Scale allows you to measure both weight and volume of food fast and easily in grams, lb:oz, fluid onces and milliliters. This multifuntion food scale weighs up to 5kg, 11lb:0.4oz, 5000ml and 176 fluid ounces. Switch between weight mode, water volume mode and milk volume mode freely with a touch of a button.

Fast & Precise

This electric food scale has a LCD display that reads the weight & volume quickly and clearly. It’s high precision strain gauge sensor that is accurate to 1g/0.1lb:oz, 1ml/0.1 fluid ounce makes it one of the best digital multi-function kitchen and food scales on the market.

Tare Function

This digital kitchen food scale can weigh food continuously.The tare function allows you to weigh items consecutively without removing them from the scale.You can easily clear the weight of a plate,bowl,bowl,cup or other container from the scale,independently measure multiple items in the container.

Easy Unit Conversion

There are only two buttons, UNIT and TARE.It is very easy to switch among weights and functions by slightly tapping the “UNIT” button.

Slightly tap “TARE” to manual ON or tare to zero, long press it to manual OFF.  It will auto power off in about 2 minutes of inactivity.

Long Time Guaranteed

This black kitchen scale has 30-day money back guarantee & 2 years warranty.Any questions about it please feel free to contact us first,you’ll get a fast response within 24 hours.

Final Thoughts.

Like I said, I don’t think it feels very sturdy, but it does work, and does seem pretty accurate.  For measuring for cooking recipes (and maybe an occasional wooded derby car) I think it is a good value.

 

TNTell's First Airsoft Gun with Safety Rules and 3 Step Draw

TNTell’s First Airsoft Gun with Safety Rules and 3 Step Draw

My son is asking to do more and more YouTube videos, If he thinks no one is around he will even narrate his own “videos” by acting like he is on camera. He has even talked his momma into taping him while I am work.  I am happy to support him trying to do something productive, and when I can bring gun safety into it its even better.

He has been asking to get his first airsoft gun and I told him that if he shows me he is responsible by helping around the house, learns his 4 fundamental gun safety rules, and can properly execute a three step draw I would let him have his own airsoft gun and the bb’s to go with.

When he said he was ready we taped him giving the rules and the draw.

He’s not perfect, but he is 6 and I am proud of the effort.  A few hours before he “helped” me mow by holding on to the mower and pushing with me.  It was much more effort on my part with the help, but I had to try not to laugh as everytime he pushed he went “vrrrrooom” under his breath.

 

Nulock Bluetooth Bike Lock

Nulock Bluetooth Bike Lock Review

If you have followed this site at all you probably know I have a thief down by my land.  This means I am always on the lookout for security devices to help deter the local meth addicts.  I wouldn’t use this device down there, because that’s not what it is meant for, but here at my home, this Nulock Bluetooth Bike Lock is really great for garage security.

Bluetooth works to about 300 feet, so it would not alarm at my land nearly an hour away, but if someone wants to try to take the generator or the sawmill in my carport, this alarm will definitely wake me up.

In the video above, I open the box, get the app, and use the lock.  It is pretty simple and intuitive.  Really, it should not take you more than a few minutes to get this lock working.

The lock syncs with your phone and you can set the app to unlock the lock when you get near it, or you can push a button on the phone application to lock and unlock the device.

It is rather tamper resistant, if someone fiddles with the lock, vibration causes a 110 dB alarm on your phone, if someone tries to cut the cable, or disassemble the lock it also alarms.

It is a pretty neat device, and right now mine is securing my sawmill to my homemade sawmill trailer.

Dual Cylinder Air Compressor Pump

I reviewed the Audew battery charger a few months ago, and the company sent me this compressor to try out.  This 6 pound 2.12CFM 12 volt air compressor is a great item to have in the car.   It costs $59.99 so its in the mid range of 12 volt are compressor prices.

I try to keep a small compressor in all the vehicles because you never know when you will have a flat.

I used to carry cans of fix-a-flat, until I learned the propellant was flammable (by having a blow out on the road turning a fixable hole into a shredded tire).

Now I keep slime and compressors in the car for a road side fix.

I have a picture to the right of the screen that links to the Slime kit I use for auto emergencies.

You know I believe in being prepared.  In my world, most of my little personal emergencies are car related – either the car won’t start with dead batteries, or tires went flat because I ran over screws or nails or whatnot.

This inexpensive air compressor and a jug or two of slime work together to give me some peace of mind when travelling.  I know that worse case I can limp along until I can get a better repair or a new tire.

Besides fixing tires, this 12 volt inflator pump comes with a variety of tips to inflate balls, boats, and other outdoor gear.  Personally I want to build a car rooftop solar water heater and use this to pressurize it so I can take hot showers while camping.

12 Piece Carbon Steel Wood Carving Set Review

This 12 Set of Carbon Steel Wood Carving Tools by Kincrea is a great deal. I used it straight out to the box to carve some things for my son. These are the easiest to use carving tools I have ever owned. They make it much easier for me get my projects done.

I wasn’t expecting a lot for a 12 piece kit costing less than $14.00 but it exceeded my expectations.  The kit came with 12 different chisels, each with a tight fitting protective cap and a decent storage case.

They were sharp enough to use right out of the package, but it would not hurt to do a little more sharpening, especially if you are carving hard wood.

While I used mine on some pine boards, I think that this October I may use it on pumpkins.  I think that they will really shine cutting the softer pumpkin skin.

I never was a very good whittler, I have a nice sized scar down my thigh from attempting to carve a boat back in middle school.  I had read about carving chains and captive balls in a single piece of wood, but my swiss army knife and my skill level never met at a sucessful level.

I think now that I have better tools and more patience, I may get a whittling book and try again.
