Solar 12v Maintainer Review

I have a lot of vehicles with old batteries, and I am tired of constantly going out to start something with a dead battery.

To fix this issue I ordered a solar 12v maintainer for my truck battery.

This version was lass that $25.00 and it came with multiple ways to install it on the truck.

I liked the long leads on the Solar 12v Maintainer, it allowed me to set the solar panel where I needed it, and still hook to the battery.

This is a solar battery maintainer, not a charger, so it is not designed to charge a dead battery, but rather to ensure a constant trickle charge to keep a battery in good working condition.

Ice Pack Review

#azmed
I like old fashioned tools, and this ice Pack is one. It is sturdy and well designed using a proven form. I love how it is easy to load and had a nice cloth cover bonded to a rubber bladder. It does not leak, even after letting a 4 year old play with it.

My wife is appreciative because she thinks I got it for her. In reality, I got it so that I could have a way to have ice packs without having to buy those ammonium nitrate ice packs that are a one time use. I think those type of packs are better suited to making homemade tannerite.

Anyway, as the video shows there really isn’t much to this ice pack, it just works.

*Update:

I downgraded the stars on this, as after about a month the glue around the lid failed. There was no way to repair this, and it should have lasted longer than a month

Gear Review: Faraday Cell Phone Bag for Information Security

Faraday Cell Phone Bag Review

#rmsidtheft

In earlier videos on DIY faraday cages. I used cell phones to show that the homemade bags did prevent the EM radiation from penetrating. I was not doing it to show how to protect your cell phone in a nuclear war. There would be no cell towers to use it. Rather I was only using it as proof the cages worked.

This video is different. The use of a Faraday Cell Phone Bag for Information Security is a good idea as it prevents your location and conversation from being transmitted while it is in the bag.

I use it when I go to the land to work and I don’t want my wife to keep calling me over and over asking me if when I am coming home or how much I spent in backhoe parts….

It Use it During a Private Meeting That You Can’t Have Compromised.

It is understood that the NSA can track people and build information on networks and traveling habits by following phones from tower to tower. If 1000 people were at tower A at 1, and then 750 of those people were using cell tower B 15 minutes later, then 500 at tower C 15 minutes after that it can be postulated that they are all driving down the road, as the goverment gathers information, it can track movements between towers and with enough data can deduce that two people were traveling together and meeting with a group.

This cheap bag can prevent that if it is used properly.

It is a neat idea and I need a couple.

Fabric Sun Shield for Your Car Review

Gear Review: Fabric Sun Shield for Your Car — Buy at Amazon

#windshieldcover

Since I work at a prison, a large sun shade like this is frowned upon – you don’t want anything that can hide what is going on in your car. That is okay,though, because I did not ask to review this sun shade to use AS a sun shade. I asked for this fabric sun shield to prevent the trees at my house from dropping sap on my windshield and making it hard to see. I also got it so that I would not have to scrape my windshield free of ice this winter.

This is a pretty simple design, and is pretty easy to use.

I tried to put on one side at a time. That did not work well. However, when I used the hook and elastic band on the fabric sun shield to clip to by rear driver tire and set the driver mirror in the shield’s mirror pocket, I could easily clip the hook to the passenger front tire. After that, it was a simple process to hook the other two straps in place.

I like the window pocket, and I love how big it is. The sun shield covers the side windows of my cube completely. It also covers my large dodge pickup as well. I like the fabric and the shiny exterior and soft interrior looks like it would reflect a lot of sun without scratching my car.

I don’t like the stitching, and some amazon reviews talked about this. I also did not like the plastic tire clips.

However, at $13.00 I think it is a good product, and someone with a sewing machine can easily strengthen this cover into a great tool. Its worth it so I don’t have to scrape ice in the winter mornings.

I got this fabric sun shield in return for posting a review on my site.
