As Seen On TV Home Gizmos TESTED!

not every has seen on TV product is a waste of money but how would you really know unless you try them or better yet we try them for you today we'll be taking a look at gadgets designed to assist you around the house and find out if a steam tech reviewer Vigo the Carpathian approves here's the hurricane spin duster a statically charged spinning brush that makes dusting and ease while preventing a torrential downpour of dust onto your floors below checking out the contents of the box were met with a set of instructions which we'll get to in a second here's the powerful base unit I a couple of different sized brushes to tackle a variety of tasks and my favorite a magic wand that doubles as an extension arm as well expelliarmus assembling the device is quick and easy as the parts simply click right into place just but the blue tip of your magic wand into the end of the handle after that just pressed the brush into the end of the stick until you hear a click as soon as you throw in batteries you're ready to fire it up and get your Alfred Pennyworth on for this first test we decided to have a go with those dusty blinds in the living room when the spin duster went into action it took care of the surface debris without any real effort on our part it's actually quite adept at getting in between the blinds and cleaning both sides without any risk of damaging the slats and although nothing really beats a little soap and water for those caked on stains the hurricane seems to be a force of nature when removing dust but what about that claim of attracting that dust to the brush with static electricity as you can clearly see although the spin duster does spin and does dust keeping that dust contained is a whole other story that being said the hurricane duster has been shown as a perfect device for cleaning glasses and vases so with bated breath we decided it might be an appropriate time to dust the jib of our favorite carpathian prints vie Goff generally paintings of supernatural Carpathian warlords repel dust in most women but this modern-day Mona Lisa could still use a touch up truth be told when we gave Prince Vigo a nice brushing the only thing we noticed is that his face got red ER and it seemed as though he was going to fill the city sewers up with ectoplasm it goes without saying that we had to end this test and find out who we're gonna call now you might be wondering if you can make your own version we used a Swiffer brush and a trusty impact right after flawlessly disassembling the Swiffer brush we were able to simply slide it over an adapter that was placed into the driver of course adding a little duct tape for extra security is always a good idea to show this thing in action here's our upper deck 1994 mint condition dusty Donald royal here to blaze it straight down the lane sorry Donny you've been treated if you don't want to make your own the hurricane spin brush can probably take care of most of your dusting woes that being said because of its propensity to actually shoot dust all around the room you might want to do a little vacuuming afterwards next up we've got the lizard cam it's a litte waterproof camera on the end of a 4-foot cord that you can use to inspect your plumbing in addition to household things like pipe sinks toilets and a whole lot more after removing the contents from the box you should have three attachments a hook a magnet in a mirror as well as the lizard cam itself wound up at the side there's a camera with an LED light and attach to the other end of that cord is a handheld display boasting every bit of HD video that you'd expect from a 45 dollar plastic device the lizard can streams real-time video from the camera to its dazzling 2.4 inch display to help you find anything from long lost jewellery to heirloom hair balls after a sticky lis dropping this ring down the drain we snapped the hook attachment onto the cord you sent this thing down into the depths locating your fallen jeweler is no problem when you've got 22 pixels of HD clarity in your hands and using the hook to fish this ring out was pretty simple the lizard cam is a most inconspicuous spying device in the perfect way to peer through a keyhole just to make sure your housemates are still alive and breathing you know a courtesy check but you never know what kind of surprises lurk on the other end oh boy okay time to go but what about a wellness check on your elderly neighbor well just send the spy at V lizard cam right down the mail slot just to make sure they haven't been purged nope looks like everything's fine here nothing creepy at all everything's said and done the lizard cam is actually pretty cool for what it is and it seems to have a myriad of uses for your home garage or car projects now granted the price tag is a little steep but if it allows you to fix an expensive problem on your own probably worth it the Robo twist is an electric jar opener that provides OneTouch access to your jar delights all without troubling your silky smooth palms but is the $19 Robo twist the future of Jar enforcement let's find out slicing this bad boy open were presented with the Robo twist itself and a set of hefty instructions but this thing seems pretty straightforward so let's dive right in and see what we've got here glancing at the top there's a battery compartment on the end a single power button with an N on it and a couple warning stickers about touching the parts while it's in use taking a peek at the undercarriage of the bot you'll see where the motor will turn the gear twisting the mechanism and activating that GI Joe kungfu grip when the Robo twist caresses down upon a jar that's when you'll find its true value able to open anything from 1.2 inches in diameter all the way up to 3.5 inches it can be applied to mostly anything you've got on hand testing it out on an olive jar proved to be light worked for the burly robot but what if we really twist it on there utilizing some channel locks we put an iron grip on this jar of pickled jalapenos but even then the Robo twist prevailed proving that our feeble human tools will not stand up against it's awesome power truthfully this thing really did a number on just about everything we threw at it whether it was something as small and rigid as a plastic portable barbecue sauce container or something as resilient as a mason jar one of the only problems we had with the Robo twist is that we had hoped they had the ability to tighten tops back on as well oh and there is this one thing due to the fact that we didn't really study the instruction manual well if you take a close look you'll see that it specifically notes that this is not intended to be used on plastic jars when the outer arms grip the exterior of the more pliable plastic bottle the device didn't sense the resistance and continued to close this of course snapped off one of the arms in the process so in quick summary the Robo twist is a surprisingly useful device to have around provided you take a moment to read the directions and use it for its intended purposes but it's also a great tool for anyone that gets discomfort while opening stuck containers next one they hit the can is the Handy can opener fro claiming to open all cans as easy as 1-2-3 this thing cuts right beneath the lid of any sized cannon as a powerful magnet which secures the lid so it doesn't fall onto the ground or into your lentils after mangling the product wrapping to remove our opener well that's it the can opener itself actually started ringing like a phone so I answered it and had a great chat with oblivion it's got a power button on the top and a retractable blade magnet and gear on the bottom there's also a compartment to put the batteries in but those aren't included to kick it off we tried this guy on a delicious can of cold brew coffee just place the can opener over the top of the cannon press the button press the button hold on what's the deal here luckily we've got another can opener on hand to try so let's give our trusty paladin Silas a show yep not the straightest cut but hey it's 2018 no big deal okay back to the featured product the handy pro we realized that the motor will not engage if the magnet isn't fully activated since the aluminum can didn't draw the magnet down the motor didn't turn on we fix this with a simple hack dropping a washer atop the magnet ring itself which hold it down and allow the device to run as usual with our magnet in tow we grabbed a delicious can of our favorite Los Angeles sparkling water la crocks after firing it up one more time the opener slit right through the can making our empty soda terrifyingly sharp aluminium container that's success now everyone loves drinking broth from the camp but how do you get the can open simple you put this thing on top and let it run its course when it's completed its task it'll give you a little torque letting you know that it's finished now we could just sit here all day and show you how the Handy can opener Pro opens multiple cans but what you really want to know is how does it compare against its enemies welcome to the twice-weekly regional can opener competition are eager contestants are the can-do Pro the Zyliss can hammer 40k and me the best wrists in the West and they're off sport it's best Beyonce handy camo is out the gates with a shimmy and a shake but can hammers close behind on the turn looks like Dylan is having a little trouble getting into gear but breaks out of the gate with a fury unmatched turning quarter 3 now this Aya's has taken notes and putting its posterior to use but no it's the canto by a nose and illness disqualified for stopping at the end to assist other competitors his wrist ain't what it used to be all in all the handy can opener Pro is just what it says it is now you know how to make it work on any so we highly recommend it it comes in pretty cheap around ten bucks and it's priced right there with all of its competitors if opening cans is a pain for your wrist or you just don't want to deal with it anymore then give this thing a shot sealing up our video today is five second fix market it as a liquid plastic welding compound this thing looks like a flashlight pen from first glance but don't be fooled by appearances bonding with just $3.00 out of your wallet the five-second fix is priced for the frugal consumer in mind and we're excited to crack open the package to see what they've come up with what we've got here is a lengthy instruction booklet with illustrations depicting parts of the pan and it looks like the entirety of the Magna Carta the pen portion of the device is the holding chamber for the liquid plastic there's a small tip to squeeze it from hidden under the removable cover keep track of that thing because leaks are bound to happen considering this product doesn't harden unless you cure it under UV light speaking of UV light there's a small removable one on the other end of the pen and you aren't allowed to bring it anywhere near my bedroom for our first demonstration we snagged a pair of sunglasses we had hanging around that happened to be in dire need of attention these glasses snapped off at the hinge but even with a new screw in there we're gonna need to fill that hole once filled up and in position we shot the compound with the UV light for 30 seconds to ensure had sufficiently hardened and checked out what kind of eyesore we created well would you look at that good as new a little bit of it's bubbled on the end but we could never mind the entire glob fill out maybe it'll work better on a different materials over to this broken Halloween candy jar topper that's still in use after lifting the shiny dome from its seat on the lid we applied a generous amount of five-second fix towards the outer edge of the break then the skull was placed back on top of the lid and we reapplied a thin layer to cover the exterior of the break with a few seconds under the UV light this dollar-store decoration is ready for another decade of use while attempting to bomb these popsicle sticks wood came across the major weakness for this product when you use it to seal things tightly the UV light doesn't penetrate through to the interior gel effectively this means the exterior solution becomes hardened whereas the you're still filled with liquid plastic that hasn't even reached its final form with one last trick up our sleeve we stood in our transmutation circle and attempted to resurrect the ghost of our fallen comrade the Robo twist after filling the interior break with liquid plastic lighting it and reapplying to the exterior we're sure that this thing will fire back up and become a permanent pantry partner for us opening our hand-tighten mason jar of spaghetti sauce was right back in the robos wheelhouse and we're pretty happy with the results however our last test on this stabby jar of salsa proved just a bit too much for the Robo twist and lost his arm again considering the fact that this product is in direct competition with some of the most useful products of all time it's made some major claims and fallen short on a few of them the only thing we can recommend the five-second fix for is just that a fix for five seconds thank you so much for watching if you enjoy our thorough
