AFERIY AF-P210 2400 Watt Portable Power Station Test and Review

https://youtu.be/2hdMxWIivHE

Today I test and review the AFERIT AF-P210 portable power station. This unit can be purchased with, or without solar panels. It’s capable of 2400 watts of output with a battery capacity of 2048Wh. This Power station / solar generator would be perfect for emergency home power backup during power outages and blackouts. It’s also perfect for off grid living or camping. This is the perfect solution for people who are building their own camper trailer or even small RV / motor homes. Anywhere or anytime you need electricity and there isn’t a power grid receptacle available, this device would come in very handy! The UPS, “uninterrupted power supply” feature of this product is great for situations when a sudden power outage would cause an immediate problem…. such as keeping CPAP machines running, or keeping home oxygen concentrators running, etc, etc. The examples of things where this device would come in handy are countless. If you’re in the market for a portable power station / solar generator, be sure to check this one out!

Thanks.

Today we look at the new MaxPeedingRods dual fuel inverter (Gasoline OR Liquid Propane) generator. It is rated at 4000 peak watts and 3200 running watts when running on gas. This new model has electric start with automatic choke, an electronic fuel level gauge, a digital power meter display, a “dome light” with on/off switch, one 20 amp 120 volt tamper resistant receptacle, one 30 amp 120 volt twist lock receptacle, push button start/stop with pull start backup, it has parallel capabilities, etc, etc… It also includes a Blutooth app that will work with you Apple or Android smart device that will allow you to start and stop the engine remotely, turn ECO mode on/off, monitor wattage draw along with voltage and hertz, and view the fuel level ALL remotely from the screen on your smart device VIA Bluetooth. It’s pretty cool. It’s much better than I originally thought it would be.

This new MXR 4000 GT inverter generator from MaxPeedingRods is the real deal. It is PACKED with features in a small portable package…. and it very competitively priced, too.

Vevor Mag Drill Demonstration and Review With Annular Cutters

https://youtu.be/JjRs7HD9FAc

In this video I have a chance to test out the Vevor Mag Drill kit (aka, portable drill press, frame drill, etc) that comes with 11 annular cutters. I was impressed with how well it worked considering it costs a fraction of the price for a new BRAND NAME mag drill. The annular cutters that come with the kit seem fairly decent… especially when you consider how much those cost by themselves. It’s very easy to get perfectly sized, and perfectly round holes in steel when you use a mag drill with annular cutters. The holes a perfect every time! I don’t have a need for a mag drill every day but occasionally I run into a project when a mag drill would be very handy. I could never get myself to buy one because they cost far to much for a tool that I would only use very occasionally, However, the Vevor mag drill is priced much more affordably, compared to brand name mag drills. Yes, Vevor gave this drill to me but even if they hadn’t, I would still consider buying this tool for myself because of the price alone. And now that I’ve had a chance to try it for myself I can tell that it will do anything that I ever ask it to do. The drill seems to be fairly well made and the motor runs smoothly with no weird smells. If you’re in the market for a mag drill but you don’t want to break the bank, this might be the drill for you.

XTOOL D7W, FIRST Scan Tool With WiFi VCI

https://youtu.be/54JuHonWrEM

BRAND NEW ITEM. Just in time for Black Friday deals. Must see even if you don’t buy.

The XTOOL D7W is the FIRST affordable scan tool to use a WiFi VCI instead of Bluetooth. This means the wireless connection between the vehicle and the scan tool is utilizing WiFi technology instead of Bluetooth technology. Which, to me, is a really big deal! WiFi is light years ahead of Bluetooth in terms of speed, bandwidth, and wireless range. In this video I do a range test and I get very impressive results. I will probably do another video in the near future to determine maximum distance of the WiFi VCI but I ran out of room in this video and I still had a rock solid wireless connection between the scan tool and the VCI. (plugged into my vehicle) The new D7W is the wireless version of the D7S. Both are brand new models from XTOOL and they are both excellent scan tools. Okay, sure, there are SOME other scan tools in this world that DO use WiFi….. but those are few and far ultra high end tools that cost thousands of dollars. This tool is the first AFFORDABLE full bidirectional control scan tool that the majority of people can actually buy. In my opinion this is one of the biggest advancements in the entire scan tool industry since scan tools became Android based. I suspect all other scan tool manufacturers will be scrambling to design their own WiFi VCIs now that XTOOL has released this new D7W. This WILL become the new standard for all scan tools, eventually… If you’ve been looking at new scan tools, this one is definitely worth taking a second look at. The D7 series of scan tools has always had excellent value (maybe the best value of all scan tools) when you consider their overall functionality VS price….. and now with a WiFi VCI, it’s an even better value.
