REVIEW: Scissor Jack (2 Ton) w/ Ratchet Tool

I got a Scissor Jack (2 Ton) with Ratchet Tool ( https://amzn.to/3kMz2vI ) so I can have a spare jack in my car. It also helps me when rotating my tires at home. I use a Bravolu 21V MAX Brushless Power Impact Wrench ( https://amzn.to/35zIzlE ) as I do my own tire rotations and automotive maintenance.

Many modern cars do not have jacks or tools included with the car any more. I normally carry a scissor jack in all my cars to be about to work on a flat tire if needed. The tire repair solution and inflator is good, but i usually just use a tire plug kit ( https://amzn.to/3kRwjRG ). To use one I have to lift on of the tires to use it.

I love working on my cars at home, and finally got a second Scissor Jack (2 Ton) with Ratchet Tool ( https://amzn.to/3kMz2vI ). It saved a lot of time and from taking out my large floor jack and jack stands. I did my tire rotations and on two cars with two scissor jacks. I also use Jack Stands ( https://amzn.to/3KQsJSh ) for added safety.

Scissor Jack (2 Ton) with Ratchet Tool ( https://amzn.to/3kMz2vI ) comes with a swivel top for pinch weld jacking points, and a 17 mm bolt so i can use 17 mm socket . The included ratchet tool is light in weight and provides good leverage to lift the car under 5 mins. The ratchet reverse mechanism works

I am able to use my Brushless Power Impact Wrench ( https://amzn.to/35zIzlE ) to quickly do my tire rotations

PROS:
HUGE Time saver for home garage
Lightweight so you can put in car trunk
Good for emergency use.

CONS
2 Ton – 2T label is kinda generic and vague.
Temporary use
Use proper Jack Stands if possible for safety.

Great tool to have in the garage for people to do their own tire rotations very quickly especially with a cordless impact wrench.
Overall its an excellent value and will be useful to carry in the trunk of the car on longer trips.

REVIEW: COSTCO DURACELL POWERBLOCK 500 – Gasless Generator – CONNECTIONS and RUN TIME TESTS

Why I bought it the Duracell 500 Gasless Generator: Refrigerator
With summer coming, I needed something to power my home refrigerator I needed around a 500Wh capacity and 500-1000W higher pure sine inverter gasless generator ( https://amzn.to/37TOovv ) that if the power went out during brown outs or utilities maintenance for it to last at least 7 hours during the day time. I also wanted a larger capacity battery for camping, or working remotely while on my gaming laptop to process video.

I needed a larger pure sine inverter that can power 120v AC power constant 500 watts and peak at 1000W. I need the 1000W to power the refrigerator initial start up. Lastly, I wanted a gasless generator ( https://amzn.to/37TOovv ) that can charge via solar about 200W from solar which allows this to charge up in about 4 hours (or about 8 hours with my 100w solar panel). It also has 3 AC outlets and a larger capacity. The Duracell 500 seems to be a great value by offering many of these features.

In order to charge the Duracell Powerblock 500 with my existing Costco MASSIMO 100W solar blanket ( https://amzn.to/3s4a6nf ), I needed a iGreely 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC Female Power Plug Cable ( https://amzn.to/3ktzK0B ) to connect to the Duracell 500. I also bought a iGreely Y-Adapter to connect two 100 watt blankets to the HPP connector ( https://amzn.to/3y9vBqG ) . I have not tested it yet but will do so in the future.

I already own a Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) which I use every other day to work on my laptop in my car, or to play my Xbox in my car when I am waiting or parking. I am able to work or play for about 2 to 3 hours using an energy efficient low powered work laptop or an Xbox One with a USB C powered 13 inch monitor.

However, The Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) only has a 200 W pure sine inverter and my gaming laptop I want to use may use up to 210W during heavy rendering, which may be too much for the Jackery and would only last about 30-45 minutes. The Jackery Explorer 240 also has a limit of 65W charging solar charging, compared to the 200W charging on the Duracell. I will still keep my Jackery 240 for working in the car while parking.

Testing results:
This Duracell 500 can power my refrigerator for about 7 hours,
– Powers my gaming laptop to render videos for about 2 hours
– Powers my XBOX ONE for about 10-12 hours.
– Powers my Vornado 560 for serveral hours
– Powers my Vornado 360 high velocity fan for about 3 hours.
– Recharge fully on my porch in about 4-5 hours with 200W charge controller, 8-9 hours on my 100W solar panel. The 100W solar panel ( https://amzn.to/3s4a6nf ) needs a 2.1 MM DC connector / High Powe Port (HPP) adapter to 5 MM adaptor to charge the Duracell 500. iGreely 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC Female Power Plug Cable ( https://amzn.to/3ktzK0B )
– Best of all it only weights about 10-11 pounds and will be for the home emergency power outages and camping scenarios.

REVIEW: Compact Rechargeable TIRE INFLATOR

I love to go on group bike rides and topping off my car tires. I got this portable compact rechargeable inflator pump ( https://amzn.to/3NNAtXZ ) so I can bring to family bike events and not have to use turn on the car to use the 12v inflator or deal with lots of manual pumping by hand.

Compact rechargeable inflator pump ( https://amzn.to/3NNAtXZ ) have many PROS and CONS:

PROS:
Accurate inflation gauge.
Auto stop is very handy.
Bright LED light.
150 PSI Max – great for road bike tires!
USB C charging 5v/2a – USB C is the plug makes it easy to connect!
Easy to use screw on air accessories.

CONS:
Short battery life – Filled the air of 6 bike tires from flat to about 50 – 60 PSI and 4 automotive tires (from 34 – 37 PSI ) and it was out of energy .
I am guessing that it can probably be good for 8 automotive tires or probably about a dozen bike tires?
Charging takes about 2 hours on USB C plug.
Noise is lower than expected.

Overall Compact rechargeable inflator pump ( https://amzn.to/3NNAtXZ ) good value and convenience for use with a family of bike or during a group rides with high psi tires. Easier to use than other car inflators without turning on the car and draining the car battery.
