Zeus Vehicle Cleaning Multi-Tool gets the job done hassle-free

zeusSome folks absolutely love winter, while others loathe it, with yet another group feeling non-chalant about the situation. The thing is, each season has its fair share of beauty as well as down side to it, and with winter, plenty of cleaning needs to be done – to get rid of the snow on the sidewalk, the slosh on your boots, the list goes on and on. With the $29.99 Zeus Vehicle Cleaning Multi-Tool, at least it will be able to help you out somewhat in your daily cleaning chores – those that concern the other source of pride and joy in your life, of course, which is your ride.

For instance, the Zeus would feature shovel, brush, and ice scraper functions that make it ideal for winter situations. The wide shovel sports an ergonomic handle that allows it to deliver some serious snow removal, and all of the various features can be easily broken down in a neat manner so that it can be stashed away without a problem at all. Made out of high-impact plastic, the shovel head can be flipped over to become an oversized ice scraper, and the grip sports reflective ends so that you remain visible while digging out.

The Key Keeper will save your stuff from scratches, and make you lose your keys

Key Keeper
The single best way to find your keys if they are lost in the abyss of your bag is to shake it until you hear jingling. Of course, this also means you’re going to be scratching metal against anything else that you may be keeping in there. If you have items that might be prone to scuffing, then you might want something that will subdue the aggressive nature of your keys.

If you don’t have a separate compartment or smaller pouch for your keys, then the Key Keeper will help you to keep things organized and looking new. It is a very simple, yet effective idea which can save the screen of your delicate gadgets and gizmos from being beaten up. These are little rectangles of silicone that will fit just about any key shape.

They have a hole at the top so you can still attach them to your key ring, and when you want to unlock the door, just press it into the key slot. The silicone will push back enough for the key to go in, and will cover the key again once you’re finished with the task at hand. These come in a variety of colors, which is very handy for color coding your keys. Getting a set of three of these will cost you around $24, but you’re likely going to want more depending on how many you carry around. It will make your key ring heavier, and you won’t be able to use echolocation to find your keys anymore, but it’ll be up to you to decide the pros and cons.

The Snolo Stealth-X takes sledding a bit too seriously

Snolo Carbon Fiber Sled

There’s nothing quite like sledding on a snow-laden hill. The trip down is always a fraction of the time it takes to go back up, but it’s always worth it. Of course, one very important factor is the type of vessel you choose to carry you down. However, if the conditions are right, you can use anything from the regular bowl-shaped sleds to a cardboard box.

For those of you that want more than a mere experience of sledding, there is the Snolo Stealth-X. This is about the equivalent of bringing an armored tank into bumper cars. Even though it is completely overkill, this predominantly carbon fiber sled is still pretty to look at. The mono shell, front ski, and front arm are all made of this high-grade material, which I assume means it will take the inevitable crashes rather well.

There is a foam padded seat which will allow you lean back and relax on the flip-up padded back rest. If you like to make sure you are securely in place, there are also shoulder straps in a backpack-style placement which are attached to the rear of the sled. This can fold down and be worn as a backpack as well, which will make the return trip up the hill a little less cumbersome. Of course, such a masterpiece will not come cheap. This $2,549 sled is meant for those who have too much money, and want to experience ‘fun’.

Smart AC Automotive Power Strip makes life easier on the road

smartacWomen might say that they will never be able to have enough handbags and shoes (generally speaking), while men might never get enough of their power tools and hardware toys, and kids with their video games, but I am quite sure that something most of us will be able to agree on would be this – you can never have enough power outlets around, considering the rather large number of gadgets that we carry around with us these days. Smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, smart watches, the list goes on and on, and Thinkgeek intends to help you out with the $34.99 Smart AC Automotive Power Strip.

The Smart AC Automotive Power Strip will be able to juice up just about all things, where this inverter plugs into your cigarette lighter socket. It will come with a couple of USB power ports and two AC outlets, and fret not about it melting down or catching fire, since the safety features which have been thrown into the mix include over-voltage, overload, short-circuit, high-temperature protection, and low voltage shut-off. The whole family should be more than happy with this bad boy, since you can juice smartphones, tablets, e-readers, laptops, DVD players, game consoles, and digital cameras among others while you are on the go.

HoneyDru USB Car Power Adapter oozes with cuteness

honeydruHaving anything that is “cute” does seem to work these days, and considering how many of us carry a fair number of gadgets, it can be quite a task trying to make sure that all of them are fully juiced at the beginning of each day. Having said that, having a car charger in your ride is not too bad an idea after all, since you can never quite tell just when you might need to fall upon some backup power on the way to your meeting, with your smartphone running on empty. Why not get something cute while you are at it? The $19.99 HoneyDru USB Car Power Adapter will certainly not disappoint, where this small, bee-shaped car power adapter will come with light-up eyes and wings for added “coolness” effect, especially during the evenings.

Good thing nobody should be allergic to this bee-like USB car power adapter, as it does not sting at all, and the only thing it does well would be to power up those thirsty batteries in your well used gadgets. The HoneyDru USB Car Power Adapter would be plugged into most vehicles’ power outlet/cigarette lighter, and it is capable of 5V/2A output, which should be more than some of the native chargers which accompany your devices. Apart from that, it will also feature a coiled cord which can be stretched to 3 feet and retracts to 8 inches for adaptability and flexibility.

Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator makes life (nearly) a bed of roses

automatic-cordless-tire-inflatorBeing on the receiving end of a flat tire is no fun at all, especially when you consider that you are already running on a tight schedule, and have to roll up your sleeves to do the “manly” thing of keeping the tire inflated. A foot pump would just about take forever, not to mention giving you a really good workout. This is where a machine or tool would come in handy, and the $89.95 Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator would be able to get the job done.

The Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator, as its name suggests, is touted to be the only cordless inflator which will be able to shut itself off automatically, at the right moment when it arrives at the correct tire pressure that you have set it to beforehand. It works great to deliver the perfect level of inflation during daytime as well as nighttime roadside emergencies, where the latter is made possible thanks to an integrated LED which illuminates the tire valves. The presence of its built-in digital pressure gauge will be able to show off psi, kpi, or bar, where it will also even be more than capable to the task of inflating larger SUV tires. With a flexible 5″-long air hose that arrives tipped with a thread connector, it can ensure a proper seal with valves and the two included recreation ball and inflatable toy adapters. It works in pretty much the same way as a cordless drill, which is more or less dummy-proof.

Seven Person Tricycle is surely a hoot to ride

7person-tricycleWhen you hear of the Seven Person Tricycle, surely the first thing that you might notice is, how can that thing actually work? After all, aren’t seven people way too many humans to sit and make sure a tricycle move around, what more in the same direction? If there is an object lesson in unity that you would want to teach your family members, then be prepared to fork out a whopping $20,000 for the Seven Person Tricycle.

Surely one of the main questions that many people would ask is this, how the heck does it actually work? Well, this tricycle which can accommodate seven adults while playing host to a close-knit conference during joyrides will feature a set of pedals for each rider, so that they can all ride in tandem to send the tricycle up to a maximum speed of 10 mph. This in turn would encourage social interaction as well as team-building while pedaling, not to mention helping its riders to be more healthy in the long run. Only one of the seven riders will be able to steer the tricycle, which is a good thing, of course, and that person will also have control of the dual independent hydraulic brake systems.

Military Inspired ATV has tires that won’t stop…or be popped

Military Inspired ATV
Let’s say you’re looking for a new vehicle to get from A to B. The only difference is that it isn’t a car for getting to work, or a bicycle to save gas money on short trips. It’s something that needs to be able to handle rugged terrain, and can withstand harsh environments. While anything that is inspired from military gear is normally pretty rugged, it’s also expensive as all get out.

The Military Inspired Polaris Sportsman WV850 is one serious tank of an ATV. While the engine and frame aren’t too much different than something else you’d find in the market, the wheels are the big selling point here. They are TerrainArmor, which are non-pneumatic tires that can’t be slashed, shot, or popped. This is great if you’re on the battlefield, but the real-life applications for this are not as great.

This is not drop in the bucket financially. You’re looking at $15,000 for this commercial-grade vehicle. Even then, it’s not very practical for a business to have this unless they’re in a particularly shady area. While it may be useful in combat settings or video games, this just isn’t going to be worth it for day-to-day life. If you do have that kind of income to toss at it though, you can brag to all of your friends how no one can ruin your tires.

Grippy Gadget Mat keeps gizmos in place

grippy_gadget_mat_inuse
It’s funny, the things we need to keep an eye on seem to disappear the most. This would include your phone, money, and keys. No matter how hard you try, it always seems to end up in a new place. While there are ways to keep track of things at home, what about in your car? Do you stash everything in a cup holder, the side pocket, or toss it all on the dashboard?

Either way, they can usually be jostled out of place if you take a turn too hard. While you could just stick everything in the glove box while you’re driving, that won’t do you much good if your phone also acts as your GPS. The Grippy Gadget Mat is the missing link to keeping all of your valuables in sight and in place throughout the duration of your car ride. It’s made of a high-quality silicone, and will keep hold of whatever you place on it.

There’s no glue, tape, or mounting necessary. Just stick it and off you go. Well, that’s what I would assume anyway. While it only costs $9, I’d be a bit cautious trusting this little thing. It measures 5.6×3.2x.0.2”, so it won’t take up much space. There are likely certain things it doesn’t hold down very well, so try to give it a test run before going out for a spin. Don’t want to come to a sudden stop and have you stuff go flying, now do you?

DM-100 Universal OLED Touch Screen Automotive Gauge adds some glamor to your dashboard

oled-touch-gaugeI am quite sure that many of us have already watched at least one of the Fast and Furious series, or perhaps the rest of us love the Initial D anime and manga from Japan, where it depicts this boy, Takumi Fujiwara, who does look to be one of the most unlikely candidates to be a decent driver, but somehow defies the odds with his superhuman ability all the time. Well, you might not have the kind of mad skills in order to participate in a race not only now but in the future as well, but this does not mean that you are unable to do your part to make sure that your ride looks up to date. Why not go ahead and splurge $249.99 on the DM-100 Universal OLED Touch Screen Automotive Gauge?

This is a plug and play device, where it will be able to do stuff like measuring the RPM, vehicle speed, and engine load among others, in a far cooler way compared to the dials on your dashboard that already depict all that. Apart from that, the clever incorporation of soft start technology has certainly gone some way in prolonging the oxygen sensor’s life. This is an all-in-one kit which will allow you to connect your gauge to the onboard diagnostic port of any 1996 or later vehicle, allowing you to enjoy on-screen readouts in a jiffy without the need for any calibration, how neat is that?
