- Welcome to DIY for homeowners, Mother Daughter Projects.
I'm Steph.
- I'm Vicki.
- And today, we're doing something a little different.
Mom, what are we doing?
- We are modeling our brand new winter wear.
- Wow.
- And you're probably thinking, you're Florida girls.
What do you know about winter?
- It gets cold!
- It does get cold.
- It's like 60 degrees today, guys.
We've got to bundle up.
- We've got to bundle up, yes.
- People would be real mad that we just said that.
(laughing)
It's gotten in the 40s before
and it even snowed a couple years ago.
So, hey, we do know cold.
So, as you know we work with Home Depot.
Every quarter we get sent new tools to use and try out.
Well, this quarter we got a jacket!
We did not think when we started our partnership
with Home Depot that one day, we'd be reviewing--
- How to base-- - Fashion.
- Be sending us fashion. - Hey.
- Yes, but it is considered a tool because look,
it uses a battery.
- And so, that's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna talk about this jacket.
But, you know what?
Before we even start talking about it, we gotta do a--
- [Both] Fashion show!
- [Steph] You can see here,
Mom is wearing the RIDGID heated jacket
with a Home Depot beanie!
And here she goes strutting her stuff, yeah, yeah.
It is Florida so we do have to wear
the flip-flops and the shorts.
(calm music)
- And here's Steph,
and she's pairing her look with a RIDGID purse.
I mean, tote bag.
But in actuality,
she has been using it in the last month as a purse.
It's very roomy.
Room enough for lip gloss and your occasional battery.
This is a heated jacket,
so we need to talk about how it heats.
Well, it uses one of these.
So, if you have the RIDGID 18-Volt tool line,
you have these, you're good to go.
It comes with a battery.
It comes with an adapter.
Put that on.
You plug it in.
You press this little go button, and you're ready.
(thuds)
(zips)
To start your jacket,
you press and hold that button until it turns red.
And then, you can cycle through the next two temperatures.
Turn it off, press and hold, till the light goes off.
- Another great feature is that it has a removable hood.
So you can see Mom is rocking her hood right here.
- 'Cause I'm way colder than she is.
(laughing)
- I actually took my hood off.
So you can see right here that it has great place to zip up.
You can zip off, zip on.
And then, you can also attach these little Velcro pieces,
and it will cover the zipper.
And it will be just like a regular hooded jacket.
It also has some nice fleece right around the,
kind of the openings around the armholes,
so you keep all the warm heat in and not coming out.
The battery, first, it feels a little strange
'cause you're kind of weighted on one side.
But after a while, after wearing it,
you get pretty used to it.
You can also charge your phone with the battery.
Right here, you can see, you can plug in your phone.
And then, you can actually feed
your charging cable through the jacket really nicely.
And then, plug in your phone right here at the top
so you can keep it charged as you're keeping yourself
warm and toasty with the battery.
And this front pocket is a great pocket
to keep your phone in.
Well, we really like it.
We think it's really high quality, really well made.
And also, with saw dust,
really comes off of it really nicely.
And it's super easy just to, kind of, put on.
(sneezing)
- Saw dust.
- And I'm ready to go. - Yes.
- So, you can use it heated or unheated.
And it just is a really warm jacket.
You don't want to wash it
because it does have heating elements inside of it.
So you just want to spot clean it.
- 'Cause I got some wood glue on this one,
and a little bit of water took it right off.
- To clarify, Mom got wood glue on my jacket.
- (chuckling) That's true, I did.
(laughing)
- And then, she's like, here you go.
- It came right off her jacket, yes.
- So, we hope you enjoyed this, kind of fun video.
This is a little different for us.
We just got the fashion of a jacket in the mail
for a tool this quarter.
We just thought this is fun.
Let's make a fun video about it.
- Let's just have fun with it,
yes. - Exactly.
- But in all seriousness,
it's gonna be great for our,
we do have very cold winters here.
It's great for being in the garage,
for taking Mac out for a walk,
to sitting in my house before I turn the heat on.
If you're going to a ball game,
great to wear in the stadium.
- Exactly.
So, we're big fans.
If you have any questions about us,
please let us know in the comments below.
And I forgot to say, obviously,
Home Depot is sponsoring today's project.
We want to give a big shout-out and thank you,
and thank you to RIDGID for sending us
two of these jackets - Yes.
- to try out.
That's it, and we'll see you next time.
- Bye. - Bye.
(beeps)
- So cold.
- It's cold, yes. (chuckling)
Actually, I'm pretty comfortable.
- I'm really comfortable.
Yeah, this is just a great jacket.
- Well, you know, this is the look for Florida.
- What. - Heated on top
and shorts on the bottom.
- Shorts on the bottom.
- Yes. (beeps)
