well good morning everybody and welcome to the channel hey today we're going to
do something a little bit different I've got five Tacoma gadgets back here behind
me we're going to open these up we're going to put them to the test
we're gonna see if they're any good alright let's start with this first one
here made in China go ahead and open this up show you what this is this is a
little light wrist strap if you will to wear when you need to have light when
you're doing things with your hands or you're in an area that's dark it has a
couple little pockets here or little finger slots I guess like a glove where
you'd slip your pinkie and your index finger through so let's go ahead and do
that look kind of small actually they are kind of small so if you had big
giant hands and you might struggle with this one a little bit but that's okay
fits on there it's on there pretty well you can see it has a couple of LED
lights here that are gonna light up when you push this on button that's where the
battery is inside there go ahead it has a velcro strap to go around your wrist
again this must be like a size small it's pretty small go ahead push the yard
button see what we get ah there you go you've got a couple of
LED lights that light up that'll be pointing right down wherever you're
working so let's let's go over to the Tacoma over here all right out here
underneath the hood now let's go ahead and turn this thing on
hit the button we do get quite a bit of light out of it guys can see down in
there I mean if I was down in here fiddling with something you know with
the screwdriver like this it's actually it's actually pretty good
you can see without the light with the light
not too bad yeah I think it would work I think we'll give this a thumbs up all
right next up let's check out the pink box go ahead and open this up so we've
got a couple of things in here nice packaging so let's start off with
start off with these these are multifunctional
headrest hangers go ahead and open these up and they're gone in a little carbon
fiber accent in here I'm sure it's not real carbon fiber but these are supposed
to go over your head rests and then you can hang stuff from them so let's go
over to the Tacoma put this in and see if if it works alright way these are
supposed to work and we have two of them there's two of them in a set take both
those out supposed to go right over your right over your posts on your seat here
so go ahead then up a little bit just to get these on go ahead and slip them over
it's a pretty good fit that works pretty well the other one there there you go
sandwich him down on here there you've got two hooks here and then you have I
don't know you went to Lowe's the grocery store or something let's say and
supposed to just be able to hang stuff right on there
works pretty good just stay on there pretty well and keeps
your stuff from flying around all over the truck if you've ever done that you
know you put bags down at the bottom and stuff will fly all over so they work
pretty well I'm not sure why you really need the carbon fiber it's pretty much
hitting once you put the seat down but I guess if you leave the seat up you'll be
able to see it and they do fit pretty snug I don't think they're gonna come on
so pretty good nice little gadget I give this one a thumbs up too okay
let's grab the next one this is supposed to be a glasses or sunglasses holder
that Clips over your visor it is hermetically sealed let's go ahead and
tear that open
yeah there you go the way this is supposed to work it has this clip here
that fits over your visor and then your sunglasses see how does this work ah
slip underneath these little holders and they are padded under here with some
kind of foam so your sunglasses are supposed to go under that and then keep
them out of the way and store it up on the Sun Visor and this does rotate so
you can change the position that you have it in there so let's go over and
and see how this works okay got the little holder thing here just pull this
out a little bit and slip it over your visor right here on the edge like so
that's pretty easy and then you describe your sunglasses we happen to have a pair
right here and the best way I think to do this will see you pull down this
little lever thing here or holder pull that down and stick the arms of your
sunglasses under there and there you go that's it looks like it would hold it
pretty well it's not gonna damage your lens or anything and I like that this
has foam on it to protect the glasses and stuff so you don't have a problem
that when you want them just pull this down take them off and you're good to go
not too bad pretty simple little device this one I'd give a thumbs up as well
that's three in a row another thing I like about these so far they come with
these little resealable packages so if you're not going to use it for some
reason you can just stick them in the package and reseal it and store them
away for later pretty handy okay number four let's pop this one open
this one will come in handy if you're on a long trip or something this is a
driver alarm as you guys can see as seen on TV this is supposed to wake you up if
you start to nod off or something while you're driving like if you're you know
late at night or whatever um let's see it attaches to your ear and sends a
signal as soon as the first sign of sleeplessness and distractions at the
wheel okay let's see what we got in here there's an on and off button over here
wow it's quite loud you guys can hear it I'm going to turn it off and you're
supposed to just put this thing over your ear I guess right so let's let's
give that a try I think I'm not exactly sure which way
let's see maybe this way kind of like one of those Bluetooth headset things
you know kind of fits doesn't fit real snug on there let's try it on the other
side yeah I'm doing something wrong yeah kind of fits better if you do it like
this behind your ear so it's behind your ear like that let's go over to the truck
I'm gonna simulate some driving see if this thing would wake me up I have a
feeling it will alright so we're at the wheel we're cruising down the road I'm
gonna go ahead and turn this thing on just push that button should be on right
now and I'm driving along and I start to not on I don't know if you guys could
hear that but I could let's try that again
so we're driving along we start - well how try it a couple more times so it
might be deaf by the time this is done but so we're cruising along when we
start to nod
and it stays on - Wow one more time one more time and it goes
off when you put your head back up I like that
I'm let's try a little side sleep right so you're going to nod off this way it
seems to work in every direction one more time
Wow it does seem to work a little bit better when you not down and I suppose
most people would as you're driving along if you're going to start to nod
off to sleep chances are your heads going to point down not going to kick
off to the side it does work that way but it works better it seems if you
start to nod down I wonder if you're not back nothing if you're not back
try it again well that's interesting so apparently you have to be the kind of
sleeper that's going to not down
yeah does not work if you go backwards I don't know works great if you happen to
punch your head down but if you go backwards nothing at all I think it
needs to work in every position whether it's front back sideways whatever if
your lights dependent on it I got to give this one a thumbs down sorry okay
time for the last one this is number five this is a steering wheel tray again
made in China put this over this you're supposed to be able to put this on round
your steering wheel and then use it as a either a a work tray or an eating tray
or something like that if you're in your truck you know what you could do a lot
of traveling or maybe a lot of working or something like that just a plastic
device I assume that would go this way you notice it's got a little couple
little cutouts here for stuff it's got a little area here for your drink and then
a little flat surface here to work on you can turn it either way I would think
matter of fact I'm guessing no no you can really go
either way with it depends on what kind of surface you need so let's go over to
the truck put this in see if indeed it works okay we're in the Tacoma and let's
see this is supposed to go around your steering wheel
well I guess if you were really tall it would work up there but the way this
steering wheel is designed with the slots in it here
you don't really see any way that this would work this is how it's supposed to
work and think although even up there it doesn't really grab on let's take it out
to the tundra and see if if it works on a bigger truck maybe it's supposed to be
for a bigger truck let's go see all right out here in the tundra let's see
if it works in this truck again you'd put it through like so
and you're supposed to be able to
I don't know try to the top
yeah
No does not seem to work great
doesn't even stay on the top where it's bigger so I'm not quite sure I think
probably because of the way the steering wheel is designed with these Forks in it
if these weren't here then I think it probably would work but given the way
this is I don't see any way that that's gonna work so I got to give this one a
big fail it's a great idea I mean it'd be nice if you know you were somewhere
and you wanted to eat you wanted to have some kind of a surface or something to
be able to you know eat on or write on or whatever but this one this is a big
fail I give this one a big thumbs down that's not too bad I guess three out of
five couple of thumbs downs the other three were actually pretty good they
would work pretty well leave a comment down below let me know what you think of
these gadgets so the things that you'd be interested in do you have some of
this stuff already and I probably use a couple of them maybe throw them in the
truck in case I ever need Oh like like that little wrist light that's kind of
neat if I was out somewhere you know I needed to change a tire or something and
needed to have my hands-free but still have some light I think I'm pretty good
anyway appreciate you guys watching don't
