@Freakinreviews, What are your thoughtss on the FTC banning fake reviews? I think it's a good start. But since it shields 3rd party review sites like Yelp, Travelocity, Google, etc., it can't go far enough because of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.
That hand massager works great for post stroke! I had a stroke which affected my left arm and hand using this machine helped my left hand get its strength back up! I recommend it!
I've been blowing regular old bubbles for my dogs for over 30 years, $14 for this? They just like to chase and pop them not eat them. My neighbor bought a kids battery operated bubble blower which the dog loves but they all seem to lose interest pretty quickly. Nothing to catch, run around with and chew on lol

but by the same token i don't care about the airbroom, so i'll either skip ahead of pick a different video. that's the upside with specific videos, people who are interested will click on them. i was done after bailey gave up on the bubbles, and I'm sure the records of this video will probably echo something similar. I mean, the power's in my hands as a viewer, but it's also his channel. he can make videos however he wants kinda thing
The hand massager with heat has been a life saver for me. I have a degenerative bone disorder and my hands are frequently swollen and in pain. This bring so much relief, along with medication.
Regarding the lamp perhaps the 3-5 hours takes into account the ability to alter the brightness, perhaps testing the time at minimum brightness would give a 5 hour or more result.
Also with any battery powered device it's best to fully discharge the unit, then fully charge it again before doing battery life tests, it's not uncommon for devices to come not calibrated correctly, and a full discharge followed by a full charge should do the trick in terms of insurance the battery is actually fully charged and the unit doesn't just think that it's fully charged when it's not.
@@psychonauts0I’ll go do that, so I can use the light to see the manual choke knob on my car and ti find missing 8 tracks..both just as relevant today as fully discharging batteries
Absolutely correct. I use rechargeable lamps frequently and brightness makes a big difference. I have one that has two sets of LEDs - three warm and four cool white, that can be used separately or together and that makes a big difference, too.
I bought the hand massager a couple of months of ago, and it really does help! I use my hands a lot during work, coming home and using the massager while watching some shows relieves any tension and fatigue from the day. I found that putting your fingers out massages more of your entire hand/palm. My prefer mode is using the circulation with high intensity. It really helps soothe any muscle pains. Great video! I had a lot of fun watching it! Keep up the hard work!
The origami light would be a good emergency light. In it's folded form, it's compact enough to be stashed anywhere. And because it's a lamp, rather than a flashlight, it'd work well for lighting a bathroom, hallway, etc during a power outage.
@@majorphysics3669 No, but if your power is off, it is enough to light the way for 3+ hours if you leave it running continuously. You can recharge them with any power bank, and have multiples so you could stagger their use. Put one in a hallway, one in a bathroom, while you wait for the power to come back on.
I also thought about power outages. It's compact and easily stored, but how long does the battery last if stored for a while? Will the battery lose charge over time? Also, I think there are cheaper options out there for emergency lights.
Funnily enough, I want the hair to get caught in the bristles because that's what keeps it from floating in the air or being blown away from the pile. I actually intentionally press the bristles straight down on any of my cat's hair balls to catch them. He has really fine hair, so it goes airborne very easily, making it hard to sweep. You can also use an angled broom on your baseboards to remove pet hair and dust, which I figured out after making the mistake of painting my baseboards with matte paint (hair and dust stick it like crazy). With a broom, I can just scrub the bristles on my baseboards and pick up all the cat hair. It works surprisingly well and keeps me from having to get on my hands and knees to clean it. Then, you can use the bristles to scrub off any dried pieces of food that get stuck to the floor. I do this to loosen bits of wet cat food that have dried to the floor so I can just sweep them up instead of having to squat down and use a paper towel or my fingernails to get them unstuck. My cat is a very messy eater, so I have to do this multiple times a day to keep the kitchen floor clean, haha. Anyways, I guess I'm just a big fan of traditional brooms 😂
Bailey and the bubbles just melted my heart ❤. I haven't seen her in the videos in a long time. She's becoming an old gal, her face is almost completely white
You know what works AMAZING for peanut butter and jelly jars. Silicone blade spatulas, like for cake icing. THOSE THINGS ARE AMAZING, curvy enough for all edges, long enough handles, flexible blade on it to really create a seal, long enough to hit the bottom of even large peanut butter jars, and super easy to wash. Also like a 5 pack in fun colors are $20.
A silicone/rubber spatula works great as a jar scraper and likely most people have at least one. I find the average size works great for large jars like pb or mayo and I have a narrow one that's great for smaller jars like jam or relish.
My BIL has Raynaud’s too. He might like that hand massager. The folding lamp is actually a good idea. It would be really nice if a storm knocks the lights out. And, depending on the port, a multi-port phone charger might work on it too. You might want to test how long the charge lasts when it’s set on a softer intensity. Of this entire list, those would be the two items I’d buy.
We used to run our hands sideways through the turned-off auto pitcher's wheels as a massage in high school, worked super well. You could take the block out to the squash/handball setting and the wheels would almost touch.
If you drop a raw egg, just sprinkle salt on it, wait about a minute or 3, then wipe it up with a paper towel. The salt solidifies the egg and makes it easier to pick up. P.S. Bailey is too stinking cute
The bubbles were really cute, got to give it that. While it lasted. I think she didn't like the bacon much, and she just figured she didn't like them at all anymore.
😂 During the hand massager test when you said "but on the other hand" I just heard Andrew Dice Clay "OH, this guy's got jokes!" 😂 Digging that last bit of pb from that big jar, I was thinking that was like the last bit in a beer, meant to be left and not ingested😅
Another issue that I see with that broom is the fact that things get stuck in the grout, because a lot of floors do have grout and your regular brooms the bristles are going to get in the grout and pull the dirt out of it. These types of air brooms don't actually have bristles, so they can't get down in the grout. I mean, if you have a smooth flat floor, maybe it'll work a lot better for you, but not so much for tiled floors. I'm all for innovative ideas and tools but sometimes it's just best to use what already works. The broom works fine. It works great. Unless you have a design that really does something extra amazing or better than just leave it alone😂😂
20:10 finally a solution to pouring milk! Man when I pour it normally it just goes everywhere but with this I can pour more easily… 😂😂 it’s crazy it works but it solves a problem that has never existed. It is quite difficult to pour milk when it is literally filled to the top but it’s only filled to the top on the first pour. I just lower the milk below the counter or table and pour that way to prevent spillage. Crazy invention.
I was impressed with the slicer for cutting cherry tomatoes and grapes, too! I think I will get one! The hand massager might be a good thing when my carpal tunnel problems act up. I'm not sure I will invest in one, though. Thanks for the reviews. It's always great to see Bailey and your other dog, Ellie!!!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the PB Jife in comparison to the Jelly Knife. I bought one based on one of your videos a few years ago and I love it. It’s kind of unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, but it’s so pleasant to use for both scooping and spreading.
17:23 'They say it's ideal for those with arthritis' ... all the while a strapping young man, such as in the video, had trouble locking them into place. 🤔Yea, probably gonna pass.
When you brought out the jelly knife, I had the idea it was to cut through jelly. Then I realised it was for scraping out near empty jars, The transatlantic misunderstanding of words came into play. From your first use, I was thinking use a long handled spoon, e.g. latte spoon, This is what I do and works well, meaning you don't get any of the jelly, jam, preserve, etc. on your fingers, Was it worth the money? Definitely not!
I think for the peanut butter and jelly jars, there's nothing more convenient to scrape them out than using a rubber/silicone spatula. Regarding the longevity of the folding lamp, it looked like some of the corners of the paper where a lot of pressure goes as they are folded might eventually tear through. Lastly, my main concern with that slicing guide is introducing micro plastics into my food. I noticed you nearly chopped off a corner of one of the tabs while trying to slice a grape into fourths. Overall, great video!
After a hard day of work, I really needed Bailey playing with bubbles.🐶 And I bought a foot massager from Amazon that does that squeezing thing with the air. It also has a shiatsu mode that, when combined with heat and the air pressure, is heaven. I didn't know there was one for the hands. I'm going to look into that.👍🏻😊
The Jelly Knife looks a lot like a not as effective Mayo Spatula. Similar in shape, but the Mayo knife/spatula is meant to by flipped so the more bulbous end gets into the odd divot along the bottom edge and the angle at the top is scraped with the other side. It's difficult to explain I guess, but that mayo spatula has been passed down from my parents so ... When we need something to get nearly every last drop from mayo, peanut butter, or whatever - that's the tool we use most often. Similarly, though, a good silicone spatula/scraper would work well too.
For the slicing guide, just get two tupperware lids, flip 1 and fill with what you want to cut (cherry tomatoes, etc.) and sandwich them with the other lid. Now you can easily glide a knife between the two lids and cleanly slice a dozen cherry tomato's in half in about 5 seconds.
I think the shown device would be good for children or people with unsteady hands. People who have been around the kitchen for a while and don't have any handicaps would probably use the two lids/plates slice method.
For folks with arthritis in their hands, I don't think the milk spout would be helpful. You have to use pressure to put it on, pressure to hold the spout open, and pressure again to close it. Ouch.
I got some of the Peanut Butter bubbles (may have been a different brand) several years ago for my dogs as a Christmas present. Their reaction didn't change like Bailey's did. They were terrified of them then and still are.
Love your review videos and especially ones that expose the overpriced unnecessary gadgets, lol. I have a small silicon spatula that I bought at Dollar Tree at least three years ago. It cleans out the bottom of all my jars, regardless of what's in it. Probably my absolute favorite kitchen tool and it cost me a whopping $1. Have a great week!
Fun video. I find that a soft spatula works best for PB and Jelly jars. When you cut the grapes and tomatoes up together, you should have cut the rows which alternated grapes & tomatoes as the resistance to cutting will change. You already had done rows of the same item.
About the jelly knife, you should use it the other way for the bottom. You should use the end that sticks out to scrape the bottom, if you see it as a boot you should use the toes part instead of the heel like you did in the video.
11:33 you are not holding the dustpan flat to the ground, and when you sweep you angle it so hard, that you are using it as a scraper... Maybe try using it on more straight angles...
Love your reviews. You are very thorough with them and give your honest opinion. I might get the collapsible lamp after seeing your review. I do a lot of camping.
The squishy light might be good for power outages- keep it charged up and just toss it in a drawer until you need it. Maybe keep a charged power pack with it. It would be enough light to keep you from breaking toes on the coffee table and get you from the bed to the bathroom anyway.
29:28 gosh there’s just soo many unnecessary gadgets out there. I just use a small rubber spatula for PB and it works great 😂 But it’s cool to see all these gadgets and the creative minds that people have❤
Bailey always puts a smile on my face. I used to work at a restaurant supply store but was on the higher-end rated so when I see some of these gadgets, it makes me laugh. I absolutely love it. The jar scraper has SOO many better options lol.
I think that lamp would be very handy to have if the lights go out. During monsoon season, we'll have short blackouts. Since the lamp lights up as soon as it unfolds, it would be great. The only thing is; is it dependable? How long will the charge in it last when not in use? I also like that you could keep it in your bedside drawer. Those pet bubbles are not new. When I was a kid, you could buy a bottle like that for a quarter and my doggie loved them. The difference was, my dog was a lot more hyper than Bailey.
LOL - the hand massager sounds like our Sleep Number bed when adjusting the firmness of the mattress! I'll bet the warmth would feel good, though! I have a few of those scraper knives, but they are longer and work better than the shorter one you showed.
Sounds like the light would be great for emergencies. Small enough to stick in a drawer, then pull it out when storms hit in case you lose your lights and don't have the battery operated kind of lights (which we have in our lamps). Those don't get hot, and come with hooks so you can hang them wherever you are. We use them every time our power goes out. Very reliable too!
Slicing guide….use two lids, two plates, and I’ve done two plastic flat cutting board. One on top, one bottom. Cuts a bunch of cherry or grape tomatoes.
I like the Milk Spout idea. I have arthritis in my index and middle finger, so this would allow me to open the containers without having to stress these joints like you would with a traditional twist top. I love apple juice but always struggle with the twist top. Thanks! 👍
Thanks for sharing you have Raynaud’s! I was hoping the hand massager company will create one for feet, I have the disorder POTS which results in blood pooling in feet and lower legs. I have a calf massager but I feel like intense foot massage might do more. My hands sometimes get weird and blotchy which seems like poor circulation so maybe I’d have use for the hand massager.
The lamp strikes me as a dedicated backpacking item for campers. Light, folds flat, gives a solid 3 hours which is plenty for most people before bed once in a tent, plenty bright enough for a tent, I say this should be marketed for the overnighter crowd.
For scraping jars squeaking clean, use a silicone icing spatula. Those that are like 2 inches wide and like 11 inches tall. The soft round edges of the spatulas get into every crevice and sides perfectly.
The jelly knife sounds like something I would think up: a gadget for a single problem that there actually multi use tools already that work better. Just use a rubber spatula! The hand massager reminds me of the air compression feet/leg massager I have that are specifically for circulation issues. I imagine there are people who have the same issue with their hands, and that would be helpful. My feet tend to swell after traveling, and this particular type of massage (rhythmic squeezing) helps push the fluid out.
I felt the same about the hand massager, and i thought maybe a different brand would work with like a rolling effect but it seems they all just squeeze your hand lol. Feels good sometimes and others you wonder if youre gonna pull back and be missing fingers 😩
When I saw the hand massager, the first thing I thought of was the pain induction box used with the gom jabar, from the DUNE novel. LOL I wouldn't mind a foot massager like that, but no need for a hand massager. As for the jelly knife, just toss the jar out. You would have to scrape 100 jars to even come close to saving what the jelly knife costs. Unless I really need the p-butter at the bottom of a jar, because I don't have a new jar ready to do, I never scrape the bottom of the jar.
Slicer for grapes/cherry tomatoes - that plastic will dull your knife. Just use two plastic lids from standard round food containers (the ones that you get at the deli or Chinese food). Put the grapes on one lid, top it with the other and slice between them horizontally.
I might give the hand massager a try, even just typing on the keyboard my hands swell up and some times the right one turns a deep purple color, I have had this problem for a long time. for the price it would be a good idea to have a couple of the lamps in the house incase of a blackout or just to have on a table while sitting in the backyard to set a relaxed mood. Cheers.
Bubbles are a great way to exercise your dog without a lot of effort on your part. My dogs leap high in the air. For $1.25 you can get a rubber broom head with widely spaced sturdy rubber “fingers” and a squeegee edge and another $1.25 gets you a handle at the Dollar (and a quarter) Tree. It works really well! Well worth the price.
11:48 - I have severe psoriasis and I promise you, I make one heck of a mess in my home. On the bathroom floor (PVC flooring) and elsewhere (parquet flooring) in my apartment, I now mostly just use a floor squeegee to get all the «dust»… ❤❤❤
The lamp would be good for camping. Nice and compact. It may not last long, which could be a problem, but if you only use it in the tent then it shouldn’t be too bad
While the broom may be more trouble than it’s worth for small spills like the soy sauce I could see its usefulness on a large spill that you want to collect in one spot before wiping it up.
I bought my elderly mom that hand massager thing for Christmas last year she has really bad rheumatoid arthritis in both hands she absolutely loves that thing it has helped her a lot she can now do more with her hands.
The “peanut butter knife” I do have experience with - it kinda works better than a table knife… but not enough better to justify the extra tool in the drawer. Instead it’s basically the knife you use when all the regular table knives are dirty.
The light would be good for a child's room. With the broom - you can get something very similar to the one you use at $ tree for $3.50 (total). The tomato/grape slicer is cool. I can see where that would be useful. I've seen the trick of "sandwiching" tomato/grapes between 2 lids, however, I'm always afraid the lids will slip and I'll cut myself. I think a small rubber spatula (scrapper) would work better. Again, $ tree has one that's double-ended and the small end is perfect for scrapping jelly and peanut butter jars.
Thank you for testing the air broom... I was thinking of grabbing one for the back of my car that is constantly full of dog hair. Black carpet with a white dog that sheds like crazy... I'm always looking for the next best thing. I thought maybe using it with the squeegee handle might pull up some of the hair? Right now the best thing I found is a hacksaw blade- That's not a typo, LOL. I took it out of the saw and just grab each end and pull it towards me across the low pile carpet in the back of my SUV and the hair comes up like magic! The only problem is, it's such a narrow blade that even with gloves it's extremely uncomfortable to use in such a large area. I may just stick with the blade and come up with my own handle for it. Thanks for your hard work! Thanks for protecting our wallets!
I just bought a “floor squeegee” head that you would mount onto a pole. The mounting part makes a good handle. The stiff rubber blade works fantastic for getting pet hair out of carpet. Short strokes
I have that jelly knife and I love it. IMHO I don't think it was a fair test because you used the metal knife before you used the jelly knife on the same exact jar. So naturally after using the metal knife there is not going to be much left for the jelly knife to pick up. That jelly knife can also be used as a smaller spatula for smaller jobs instead of using a regular size spatula.

Each time you open the lamp, it was on. Is this a feature? Does the lamp shuts off when you close it?
On the cranberry juice it did snap. You musta just missed it but I heard a snap.
Retry the broom with liquids only using the edge of the rubber

Man when I pour it normally it just goes everywhere but with this I can pour more easily… 😂😂 it’s crazy it works but it solves a problem that has never existed. It is quite difficult to pour milk when it is literally filled to the top but it’s only filled to the top on the first pour. I just lower the milk below the counter or table and pour that way to prevent spillage. Crazy invention.
I was impressed with the slicer for cutting cherry tomatoes and grapes, too! I think I will get one! The hand massager might be a good thing when my carpal tunnel problems act up. I'm not sure I will invest in one, though. Thanks for the reviews. It's always great to see Bailey and your other dog, Ellie!!!
I am getting a tomato slicer as well
I wasn't expecting Bailey to become violent with that light! Crazy girl 🥰
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the PB Jife in comparison to the Jelly Knife. I bought one based on one of your videos a few years ago and I love it. It’s kind of unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, but it’s so pleasant to use for both scooping and spreading.
When do you ever need grapes quartered? 21:30 You should’ve done the whole “Fear is the mind killer” quote from Dune
17:23 'They say it's ideal for those with arthritis' ... all the while a strapping young man, such as in the video, had trouble locking them into place. 🤔Yea, probably gonna pass.
"(...) a strapping young man, such as in the video 😏"- Apocalypz
A strapping young man? Where?😁
When you brought out the jelly knife, I had the idea it was to cut through jelly. Then I realised it was for scraping out near empty jars, The transatlantic misunderstanding of words came into play. From your first use, I was thinking use a long handled spoon, e.g. latte spoon, This is what I do and works well, meaning you don't get any of the jelly, jam, preserve, etc. on your fingers,
Was it worth the money? Definitely not!
I think for the peanut butter and jelly jars, there's nothing more convenient to scrape them out than using a rubber/silicone spatula. Regarding the longevity of the folding lamp, it looked like some of the corners of the paper where a lot of pressure goes as they are folded might eventually tear through. Lastly, my main concern with that slicing guide is introducing micro plastics into my food. I noticed you nearly chopped off a corner of one of the tabs while trying to slice a grape into fourths. Overall, great video!
I like the tomato/grape slicer so I'm getting one for my Dad who always makes me slice the tomatos and grapes for his salad. 🙂👍
After a hard day of work, I really needed Bailey playing with bubbles.🐶
And I bought a foot massager from Amazon that does that squeezing thing with the air. It also has a shiatsu mode that, when combined with heat and the air pressure, is heaven. I didn't know there was one for the hands. I'm going to look into that.👍🏻😊
The Jelly Knife looks a lot like a not as effective Mayo Spatula. Similar in shape, but the Mayo knife/spatula is meant to by flipped so the more bulbous end gets into the odd divot along the bottom edge and the angle at the top is scraped with the other side. It's difficult to explain I guess, but that mayo spatula has been passed down from my parents so ... When we need something to get nearly every last drop from mayo, peanut butter, or whatever - that's the tool we use most often. Similarly, though, a good silicone spatula/scraper would work well too.
For the slicing guide, just get two tupperware lids, flip 1 and fill with what you want to cut (cherry tomatoes, etc.) and sandwich them with the other lid. Now you can easily glide a knife between the two lids and cleanly slice a dozen cherry tomato's in half in about 5 seconds.
Good luck cutting them in quarters like you can with this device.
True, but this gadget is a lot safer and more uniform
I've done this and it's works great!
I've been doing that for years!
I think the shown device would be good for children or people with unsteady hands. People who have been around the kitchen for a while and don't have any handicaps would probably use the two lids/plates slice method.
Putting eggs in a DUST pan is crazy 😂
🎉Love all your Reviews, they make me happy watching them.
The hand massager sounds like my vacuum sealer, lol.
A small spatula works a treat for scraping jars...
The thumbnail on this video had me flashing back to the Bene Gesserit litany against fear...

Absolutely LOVED your sense of humor in making this video. Also appreciate your efforts and hard work that you put into every video for our benefit.!
For folks with arthritis in their hands, I don't think the milk spout would be helpful. You have to use pressure to put it on, pressure to hold the spout open, and pressure again to close it. Ouch.
I got some of the Peanut Butter bubbles (may have been a different brand) several years ago for my dogs as a Christmas present. Their reaction didn't change like Bailey's did. They were terrified of them then and still are.
My husband uses a regular table knife to get out jam from glass jars. The sound drives me absolutely crazy!
Bailey is so damn adorable in the thumbnail!!!
Love your review videos and especially ones that expose the overpriced unnecessary gadgets, lol. I have a small silicon spatula that I bought at Dollar Tree at least three years ago. It cleans out the bottom of all my jars, regardless of what's in it. Probably my absolute favorite kitchen tool and it cost me a whopping $1. Have a great week!
You’re a good sport! Thanks for making me smile. Your fur babies are adorable. Dog bubbles were super cute.
The peanut butter scraper has a rounded nub on the side with the indention. That’s the part you scrape the bottom edges with
We have two mayonnaise jar "scrapers" just like the jelly knife. Only it's longer and works great for any jar (I use it for relish too).
I've had the mayo knife for decades, and you're right. It's longer and more efficient than the jelly kn.
Fun video. I find that a soft spatula works best for PB and Jelly jars. When you cut the grapes and tomatoes up together, you should have cut the rows which alternated grapes & tomatoes as the resistance to cutting will change. You already had done rows of the same item.
About the jelly knife, you should use it the other way for the bottom. You should use the end that sticks out to scrape the bottom, if you see it as a boot you should use the toes part instead of the heel like you did in the video.
11:33 you are not holding the dustpan flat to the ground, and when you sweep you angle it so hard, that you are using it as a scraper... Maybe try using it on more straight angles...
Love your reviews. You are very thorough with them and give your honest opinion. I might get the collapsible lamp after seeing your review. I do a lot of camping.
The squishy light might be good for power outages- keep it charged up and just toss it in a drawer until you need it. Maybe keep a charged power pack with it. It would be enough light to keep you from breaking toes on the coffee table and get you from the bed to the bathroom anyway.
29:28 gosh there’s just soo many unnecessary gadgets out there. I just use a small rubber spatula for PB and it works great 😂 But it’s cool to see all these gadgets and the creative minds that people have❤
Bailey always puts a smile on my face.
I used to work at a restaurant supply store but was on the higher-end rated so when I see some of these gadgets, it makes me laugh. I absolutely love it. The jar scraper has SOO many better options lol.
I think that lamp would be very handy to have if the lights go out. During monsoon season, we'll have short blackouts. Since the lamp lights up as soon as it unfolds, it would be great. The only thing is; is it dependable? How long will the charge in it last when not in use? I also like that you could keep it in your bedside drawer. Those pet bubbles are not new. When I was a kid, you could buy a bottle like that for a quarter and my doggie loved them. The difference was, my dog was a lot more hyper than Bailey.
LOL - the hand massager sounds like our Sleep Number bed when adjusting the firmness of the mattress! I'll bet the warmth would feel good, though!
I have a few of those scraper knives, but they are longer and work better than the shorter one you showed.
Thank you for your great videos, especially the Bailey and Elle intensive ones. Thank you for sharing them with us❤
Sounds like the light would be great for emergencies. Small enough to stick in a drawer, then pull it out when storms hit in case you lose your lights and don't have the battery operated kind of lights (which we have in our lamps). Those don't get hot, and come with hooks so you can hang them wherever you are. We use them every time our power goes out. Very reliable too!
My wife uses those silicone spatula/scrapers and they get the last drop of peanut butter, jelly, batter, etc. and they are dirt cheap.
One mans weird product is another mans treasure
Slicing guide….use two lids, two plates, and I’ve done two plastic flat cutting board. One on top, one bottom. Cuts a bunch of cherry or grape tomatoes.
I like the Milk Spout idea. I have arthritis in my index and middle finger, so this would allow me to open the containers without having to stress these joints like you would with a traditional twist top. I love apple juice but always struggle with the twist top. Thanks! 👍
Thanks for sharing you have Raynaud’s! I was hoping the hand massager company will create one for feet, I have the disorder POTS which results in blood pooling in feet and lower legs. I have a calf massager but I feel like intense foot massage might do more. My hands sometimes get weird and blotchy which seems like poor circulation so maybe I’d have use for the hand massager.
The lamp strikes me as a dedicated backpacking item for campers. Light, folds flat, gives a solid 3 hours which is plenty for most people before bed once in a tent, plenty bright enough for a tent, I say this should be marketed for the overnighter crowd.
For scraping jars squeaking clean, use a silicone icing spatula. Those that are like 2 inches wide and like 11 inches tall. The soft round edges of the spatulas get into every crevice and sides perfectly.
The jelly knife sounds like something I would think up: a gadget for a single problem that there actually multi use tools already that work better. Just use a rubber spatula!
The hand massager reminds me of the air compression feet/leg massager I have that are specifically for circulation issues. I imagine there are people who have the same issue with their hands, and that would be helpful. My feet tend to swell after traveling, and this particular type of massage (rhythmic squeezing) helps push the fluid out.
That hand massager is fantastic. My friend has one, I used it once and immediately ordered one for myself.
No regrets
I felt the same about the hand massager, and i thought maybe a different brand would work with like a rolling effect but it seems they all just squeeze your hand lol. Feels good sometimes and others you wonder if youre gonna pull back and be missing fingers 😩
When I saw the hand massager, the first thing I thought of was the pain induction box used with the gom jabar, from the DUNE novel. LOL
I wouldn't mind a foot massager like that, but no need for a hand massager. As for the jelly knife, just toss the jar out. You would have to scrape 100 jars to even come close to saving what the jelly knife costs. Unless I really need the p-butter at the bottom of a jar, because I don't have a new jar ready to do, I never scrape the bottom of the jar.
Slicer for grapes/cherry tomatoes - that plastic will dull your knife. Just use two plastic lids from standard round food containers (the ones that you get at the deli or Chinese food). Put the grapes on one lid, top it with the other and slice between them horizontally.
I might give the hand massager a try, even just typing on the keyboard my hands swell up and some times the right one turns a deep purple color, I have had this problem for a long time.
for the price it would be a good idea to have a couple of the lamps in the house incase of a blackout or just to have on a table while sitting in the backyard to set a relaxed mood.
Cheers.
I could see the cherry tomato cutter being useful, I grow those every year in my backyard this time of year
Here's a wild idea to replace the hand massager thing: the other hand
That broom looks so flimsy, and too easy to snap.
Reviews I've read all claim that it falls apart in a short period and was a waste of money.
@@laurahubbard6906 had one can confirm it doesn't last
I am still wondering what part is "air" about the broom. I am guessing it is light as "air" and just a weak knockoff of the original.
Bubbles are a great way to exercise your dog without a lot of effort on your part. My dogs leap high in the air.
For $1.25 you can get a rubber broom head with widely spaced sturdy rubber “fingers” and a squeegee edge and another $1.25 gets you a handle at the Dollar (and a quarter) Tree. It works really well! Well worth the price.
I bought one of those lamps. It is great.
Hand massager…. Am I the only one who wondered what “some” might do with that? 😂😂😂
That would be less harmful than what it does to your fingers. 😅 Don't like the idea of fingertips turning blue
@@kerplunkety 😂
put your right hand in the box.
What's in the box
Pain.
Fear is the mind killer.
love the doggy bubbles especially Baily because she is so adorable 😍😍😍
11:48 - I have severe psoriasis and I promise you, I make one heck of a mess in my home. On the bathroom floor (PVC flooring) and elsewhere (parquet flooring) in my apartment, I now mostly just use a floor squeegee to get all the «dust»… ❤❤❤
That lamp would be great for camping or overnight hiking!
The lamp would be good for camping. Nice and compact. It may not last long, which could be a problem, but if you only use it in the tent then it shouldn’t be too bad
4:43 I mean, does any dog or cat food or treats really smell good? But the animals love it right?
While the broom may be more trouble than it’s worth for small spills like the soy sauce I could see its usefulness on a large spill that you want to collect in one spot before wiping it up.
Like a floor squeegee that restaurants and grocery stores use.
A silicone jelly knife would be a way better choice!
I bought my elderly mom that hand massager thing for Christmas last year she has really bad rheumatoid arthritis in both hands she absolutely loves that thing it has helped her a lot she can now do more with her hands.
The “peanut butter knife” I do have experience with - it kinda works better than a table knife… but not enough better to justify the extra tool in the drawer. Instead it’s basically the knife you use when all the regular table knives are dirty.
The light would be good for a child's room. With the broom - you can get something very similar to the one you use at $ tree for $3.50 (total). The tomato/grape slicer is cool. I can see where that would be useful. I've seen the trick of "sandwiching" tomato/grapes between 2 lids, however, I'm always afraid the lids will slip and I'll cut myself. I think a small rubber spatula (scrapper) would work better. Again, $ tree has one that's double-ended and the small end is perfect for scrapping jelly and peanut butter jars.
Thank you for testing the air broom... I was thinking of grabbing one for the back of my car that is constantly full of dog hair. Black carpet with a white dog that sheds like crazy... I'm always looking for the next best thing. I thought maybe using it with the squeegee handle might pull up some of the hair? Right now the best thing I found is a hacksaw blade- That's not a typo, LOL. I took it out of the saw and just grab each end and pull it towards me across the low pile carpet in the back of my SUV and the hair comes up like magic! The only problem is, it's such a narrow blade that even with gloves it's extremely uncomfortable to use in such a large area. I may just stick with the blade and come up with my own handle for it.
Thanks for your hard work! Thanks for protecting our wallets!
I just bought a “floor squeegee” head that you would mount onto a pole. The mounting part makes a good handle. The stiff rubber blade works fantastic for getting pet hair out of carpet. Short strokes
I have that jelly knife and I love it. IMHO I don't think it was a fair test because you used the metal knife before you used the jelly knife on the same exact jar. So naturally after using the metal knife there is not going to be much left for the jelly knife to pick up. That jelly knife can also be used as a smaller spatula for smaller jobs instead of using a regular size spatula.
