My family is hard on charging cables, we go through a lot of them. I also get a lot of them to review. Frankly I like the multiple function charging cables the best. However, they aren’t all that sturdy and sometimes you just need a good old fashioned strong cable. This is especially true with the cables I use at the house.
Speed of charging is also an issue in out highly connected lifestyle so I wanted to try out this new iPhone fast charging cable.
We have an outlet on either side of our living room couch that have built in USB ports, and they keep cables plugged in 24/7/365. These cables take a lot of abuse as they boy keeps tugging on them. They also get tangled up a lot.
This iPhone cable is both strong and Fast
The connections are zinc and are said to last 5 times as long as typical chargers. I also like how thick the cords are. They are pure copper the company claims they charge phones 30% faster because they are very efficent in transferring power.
The cords are also rubberized which makes them tougher and less prone to tangling.
In total, I am pleased with these cables. I haven’t had them long enough to see just how tough they are, but I have high hopes.
I needed to move my lawn mower from under the carport and the last time I let it sit uncovered water did a number on the carburetor.
This lawn mower cover comes either in green or beige.
This cover is much heavier than I expected. It is a very think rubberized nylon. Amazon says it is a high quality sturdy oxford fabric with a pvc coating and waterproof tape on the seams. They say it offers 100% waterproof protection. I am normally skeptical, but in this case that seems fair.
The seams are well stitched and it has an elastic cord around the base. This is not a tarp, but a fitted cover.
The makers say it is a universal fit for a lawn & Garden tractor with a deck up to 54″. If you want to check to see if it fits your tractor it is 72″ Long x 44″ Wide x 46″ High. It easily covers my old Murray rider. Actually, before I spent money on new parts, the cover probably is worth more than my old mower.
This well made cover also has a ventilation flap that is designed to keep the moisture easily out for long term protection of your lawn tractor in your garden or back yard. I like how it also has two tie down straps fasten the cover to your tractor. That means I don’t need to worry about a strong wind blowing my cover off.
My only issue with the cover is the price. It is $45.99 with prime shipping and that is a lot for my budget. However, to be fair this is great quality and they say it has a life time warranty
This post on EDC Tools is a list of items that did not fit in other areas. Some of these are gadgets, some are smaller tools that don’t contain knives.
This list is not all inclusive, I am sure there are useful EDC tools that I skipped or are unaware of, also this is not a buy everything and be safe list. Some of the items below are redundant and are left to your own taste and judgement.
I like to have a small screwdriver/multi-tool on my key ring. so that I can always have the ability to unscrew things. However, about the only thing on this list I can take to work is the P-38 can opener down at the bottom of the page – BUT you would be surprised at just how much you can do with one of those old military openers if you have the desire to force something open.
I encourage you to look down this list and see if any of the items would be useful to you on a daily or weekly basis – if they look cool, but you never use them, after a while they will end up off your key-chain and stuck in a drawer. Besides my list you can find some great tool ideas at ToolsSpecialist Blog
