I’ve had a love hate relationship with microwaves. Loving their convenience, hating how much space they take, reading scare stories, being able to reheat leftovers, being a pain to clean, making a baked potato in record time. The usual. But anyway, onto this one.
The PB360TB from Hewlett-Packard is a pretty neat digital camera at the right price. It features as many pixels as you need at 12-megapixel and has a clear 3-inch screen for viewing and operating some of the camera’s features. With a 3x optical zoon you’ll be able to better frame the sceen.
The original LeapFrog Leapster system was seen as a success. Conning your kids into learning by way of an box of interactive games. The follow up Leapster2 ups the ante with more features, more fun and hopefully more learning.
The Equus 3100 is a ODB-II (On-board diagnostics interface) compatible tool which should work on most models of car since 1996. It features a comprehensive but cluttered display which will tell you what codes have shown up. It will also show you which codes will have been scanned for to save you standing around waiting for nothing to happen.
An old school 12 cup coffee maker, perfect for batches of 1 all the way up to 12 cups of coffee. This can be delivered on demand or you canwake up to a perfect up in the morning by using the in-built timer.
This guitar features a bolt-on neck to secure the amusingly named 22 fret sonokeling dark rosewood fingerboard. I’ve played several Yahamas including my beloved 120SD until I dropped it on its neck.
Despite the ProGrade claims this 12 volt drill is better suited for home use. It features a 3/8″ keyless chuck and is adjustable to 24 clutch ratios. The manufacturer claims to have used the best technology available to create a long lasting drill. They must be serious about the batteries as they come with a lifetime guarantee, unlike cheaper drills I’ve owned where they totally refuse to hold a charge overnight this is a reassuring plus.
This simple but effiective tool can help identify issues with most models of Volkswagen, Audi and modern Skodas which seems to work on models made and sold both in the US and overseas. It will plug into a standard 16 pin ODB-II (On-board diagnostics interface) socket and perform a continuous DTC (diagnostic trouble code) scan so the car can tell you what it thinks is wrong. This covers not only the engine codes but also some electrical systems, the brakes and airbags.
This mower glares are you like a Ferarri with a bold claim. With a name like e-Cycler and features such as being emission free you’d think it had every right. Well, I’d argue that anything powered by electricity is lying about emissions. Something has to be expelled somewhere for the electricity that powers it (even solar panels and windmills carry a penalty). But anyway, for keeping the emmisions out of your back yard it is certainly a winner.
This unit is by the trusty brand Iomega, famous for many years of desktop and removable disks. It features an easy to use plug and play interface via USB 2.0 (a version of USB that most all PCs will have these days. Striking to look at with a shiny brushed aluminium case with a curved outline. If you want to stand it upright you’ll need to use the included stand or it’ll be rolling all over the desk.
