rev up your engines, happy holidays today is a special mechanic Monday where I'm
showing you holiday gifts you can get, for someone you love,
now the first is the solar flash lighting kit, you can put on the hubs of
the wheels, it even comes a little remote you can change them where you go
and the cool thing is, they have little solar panels inside so they recharge
themselves when you drive it out in the Sun, their easy to install, they just
have little snaps inside and various adapters with the kit and I just go inside
the hub and since they're solar powered you don't have to keep buying batteries for
the stupid things that's a big advantage in my book, now the next gift this is
vadoma portable power generator, now the only thing I got against this power
generator is it's really not a power generator, it doesn't generate power but
it gives you power in any situation that you need it, it's actually a gigantic
battery and transformer system, it has a tremendous amount of power, 250
watts and the real advantage of this unit is, it supplies all kinds of
power, you can see it's got a regular plug here, it does 120 volts but it also
does 9 to 12 volts in the little holes here, and it's got the USB 5 volt ports
so this thing puts out a lot of power for a lot of different devices, check this
out I plug my Dewalt 120 volt into it and, it makes a great backup power system
it's got ultra pure sine waves, so if you know anything about electronics, say I'm
going to reprogram the computer on a car, you can't use a battery charger to keep
the battery up it might take an hour or longer, you have to use something that
has pure sine waves like this, so the power is pure and it doesn't mess with
any computer circuits, so of course this thing's great for recharging your cell
phone, it's great for running a laptop, any kind of electronic things that have
computers in them, this is totally safe it's not gonna do any damage, plus it's
solar rechargeable, if your taking this thing camping or whatever, you can put a
solar panel, it plugs right in the back here, it'll recharge it
so if your in the middle of nowhere you can use the Sun to
power your devices and store it in here for night, and you can run things a
long time when this is full, it's got a 67,500 milliamp battery built inside,
now the next gift is this Foxwell ob2 scan tool, realized you might get somebody a
shirt or shoes or a pair of pants, how do you know if they're gonna fit,
well the scan tool fits every car made from 1996 to the present day, so you got
pretty good odds it's gonna work on your loved ones vehicle, it's actually a
pretty good scan tool, does all kinds of stuff, data tells you if your car is
gonna pass the emissions, can erase codes can even look up codes, hey they made
this thing smaller and smaller but they do more and more, and everybody really
needs a scan tool these days, even if you don't fix your own car, you can plug one
of these in, check engine light is on you can see what the code or codes are, then
even if you don't fix it yourself you could say, oh my car's got this code and
it tells you what it means, and say I need that fixed, and guess what after they
fix your car, you still got the scan tool all you got to do is plug it in, drive it
around, and you can see if the codes come back, if the does they didn't fix it
right, then take it back and make them fix it for free, because it doesn't
matter if somebody went into the dash and then just took the bulb out of the
check engine light so the light is not on anymore, this doesn't need the bulb this
reads them and if they did that you can say you didn't fix it, it's a really nice
thing to have now, the next gift is these door and panel taking apart tools, you
get a whole set that fit just about anywhere, even this funky-looking one,
realize if you're gonna be taking door panels apart or body panels, you can't
beat these nice stainless steel slim tools for getting inside and forcing
pieces off without breaking anything and yeah you can get really cheap ones that
are 100% plastic, but guess what the plastic often snaps on them, I tried a
bunch of those out and unless they were real thick they'd break and of course
the thing is, the tools have to be relatively slim to get behind the door
panels to pop them out, so it kind of defeats the purpose of having a thick
plastic thing instead of a very thin stainless steel one, they get in tiny
spaces, they get in a little bigger spaces, their really handy I
wish I'd gotten a set years ago instead of trying a screwdriver and
ramming it in and trying to pop stuff off and then breaking things, these hey
they fit right into where the fastener is, all the force pops them out without
breaking either the expensive panel or the little stupid plastic fasteners that
hold it in place, and it's a cool set hey it's going to do all the different cars,
it's got all the different sizes, it's a really handy thing if you get this for
somebody who works on their own car they're really gonna thank you, now the
last possible Christmas gift is this cordless vacuum cleaner for your
car, if you're sick working on your car trying to clean it and there's cords all
over the place, hey this cordless one works pretty good
it's got a great filter inside, so when it cleans everything up especially road
dust, it doesn't blow out the back and get all over the place, it has all these cute
attachments, a little brush, tiny little suction area, so you can reach into all
those crevices and maybe you can get that quarter that's been rolling between
your seat and the side for years driving you nuts every time you corner, and you
can go for two for one here, if you forget to recharge it, Hey it will run
off of this venema charger, it's got the 12-volt little plug here, so you can just
plug it right in there and you can carry this around while your vacuum if you
didn't have time to wait for it to recharge, you want to keep this baby in
the trunk because, hey I had a sick kid in the backseat and man when I open the
trunk and pulled this out, that sucked all the stuff out real fast
before it soaked in and left that horrible smell for months on end, that's
the advantage of a cordless vac, leave it in the trunk when you needed an
emergency there it is now, since this is a special Christmas edition mechanic
