I accept it. I got baited into basically an advert for declutter.
Did u ever use it personally.
I wanted to buy something of there but reviews are insanely bad
@@Luna_MorningStar I mean I got click baited into watching this video here. It would be even more shameful if I actually went ahead to shop with them.
This just popped up on my feed.
RIP you will be missed.
I’m sure you and grant Thompson (TKOR) are making some crazy stuff up there
Right. These were always funny little tips that may or may not have helped, but delivered in such a way that gave you a giggle.
I love this guy's sense of humor. Its subtle and flows well in the script but always has me laughing.
I deadass put a paperclip in my TV and got like 30 channels
LMAO
WHERE DID YOU PLACE IT I WANNA GET SOME CHANNELS
Power of the PAPER CLIPS!
@@okprofilename The coaxial part of the TV
Thats Cap 🧢🧢🧢🧢 i Will only believe If you take a picture or a video
The most useful thing about the little space heater is that it lets you rotate the plug so it can match all outlet orientations. I wish that feature was on more devices.
man dude is powerful we're still watching him even though he had passed away
excuse me what
Well shit I didn’t know he was dead
Cant believe I haven't found any comments about this yet. The Maglite flashlights can focus their beam! It hurt to listen to him talk about how the LED Maglite lit up everything except what's infront of him. You arent using your flashlights to their full potential haha
I’ve been on a household hacker kick lately, and I remember watching when I heard the heartbreaking news. To the team members still around: you are amazing!
What happened?
A crew member passed away within the last 5 years.
4:52 I hate myself for laughing at that joke
I remember ten years ago this channel made fake/prank life hacks
Sincerely going to miss Dylan. Remember watching him in high school and now I'm nearly thirty.
If you put the thermometer directly above the handy heater, the measure it provides you is not the temperature of the room because the thermometer is too close to the heater.
If you put a candle directly below the thermometer, then you will discover that you can use candles to warm your house, which is not...
Im surprised nobody has mentioned that the MagLite DOES light up everything. Just turn the head a bit to focus.
I have one and can confirm, you can either make it narrower for reaching longer distances or wider if you need. The only reason I see for buying that one is the water power thing, but for something that isn't reliable, I'd rather stick with my other cheap solar powered one, at least it won't break after a few uses

love your vids!
To everyone picking up TV station by shoving a wire coat hanger into your antenna port, there's a difference between analog and digital signals. Yes, you can get more channels, if the TV is lucky enough to catch the signal while it's scanning. With analog, you're adjusting the antenna so that it gets positioned into the perfect spot to get a signal with the least amount of static. However, with digital, because it works in 0s and 1s, either you get a signal or you don't. There's no adjusting the antenna to get the least amount of static. This means that digital antennas have to be more stable than just sticking a wire into an antenna port.
Why does this have 1 like
Theres no such thing as a digital antenna, antennas are pieces of metals in ways that pick up frequencies, typically UHF ( smaller antennas ) and VHF ( bigger antennas ) but yes you are correct about the analog part but analog TV signals were basically killed off in 2009
The antenna's job is to resonate at a particular frequency, it neither knows nor cares how the signal is modulated. So there is no meaningful distinction between a "digital" and "analogue" antenna. All signals are analogue BTW. Anything above a certain voltage is considered a logic '1', anything below a certain voltage is a '0', or sometimes the other way round. Signals in the in-between range are the problem, if the voltage is in between the highest and lowest values, Is it '1' or '0'?
So as you've noticed, a digital signal is either there or it isn't, and the transition range between "good" and "nothing" is quite narrow. The signal doesn't degrade smoothly like an analogue signal does. Before you had some noise which manifested as "snow" but still a usable picture. Now it's all or nothing. The digital signal is very intolerant of low signal/noise ratio so TV stations had to increase effective radiated power to reliably get the same range they had before.
@@TypicalBlox You are almost entirely correct. True, the antenna neither knows nor cares how the signal is modulated, its job is to resonate within some range of frequencies. However it's not COMPLETELY true there is no such thing as "digital antenna". After the 2009 DTV transition, US television channels 51-69 were basically vacated and the spectrum reassigned to first responders and mobile phone companies. So the antenna no longer needed to cover those frequencies, and thus could be more narrowly tuned. Whether this actually gets you any significant gain on the remaining channels is doubtful, so don't replace that old antenna you put up 20=30 years ago, before satellite and cable, it will work just as well.

Heaters gonna heat! I spit out tea when he said that! Keep up the great work!!!
Only thing I got from this is Decluttr isn't getting my money.
Did anyone feel like the cluttr thing lasted 3 hours when it actually lasted 3 mins
Thanks to youtube's recommendeds, I've became an addict to this YT channel
Royal Gamer 75 sir yes sir
You can actually focus the maglight by twisting the larger end left or right. You can completely close out that dark center.
5:03 wtf? The beam is adjustable. Why would you act like you can't adjust the mag light beam?
John Meise this is probably cheaper
Why do you know so much about flashlights?
The Handy Heater will probably cost you more than it saves. Just heating one room in your house is very energy inefficient when the walls between the rooms are not insulated. In most of the houses, internal rooms are not insulated. Meaning that a lot of heat will quickly be lost. Instead, you are probably better off heating the entire house.
Stormfox no one likes a heating nerd
Plus it only uses 0,2 dollars and hour
Do you mean insulated?
@@MechanicsStudents Whoops, my mistake. But indeed, insulated
For anyone curious, the hydralight is powered similar to the "lemon battery experiment". Zinc and Copper, connected with a "salt bridge"(any electrolytic solution, such as water, vingear, gatorade) will produce a charge, although very weak, under 1v.
-------
However, with a "Joule thief" circuit, we can take more volts from the chemical reaction, at the tradeoff that the cell will be used up faster. As the copper and zince corrodes the cell presumably dies.
------
i found this after reading a few websites online, and although i understand it to an extent, i am no expert.
Thanks Captain
Nope. I bought the Handy-Heater myself for my mom’s bathroom. We had it there several hours and it wasn’t able to raise the temperature of a 7 squaremeter bathroom significantly. Plus it makes a lot of noise when running on high capacity.
Very clever to place the thermometer right above the heater btw.
Maybe it was a joke? Idk man they have the most subtle jokes that I ever heard.
They did mention not to buy it...
The thermostat was right above the heater. True reading would be at the other side of the room.
I LOVE This Guys Narrations.... HANDY HEATER: "Set It High, No Problem...As Long As You Like the Sound of Jet Engines".....LOL
Someone help me i cant stop watching these videos
*you say it like it's a bad thing*
The handy heater was also tested on TV in my country it could barely heat the room and it sucks the electricity like hell then they wrote them confronted them with the test. after that they wrote back and said it is only for heating parts of a room (not like advertised)
That's ridiculous. It also looks really unsafe...
For the first one, I used a paper clip and got 70 channels
The TV antennas only work if you live like thirty miles from a TV station. Small towns out of luck
10:15 how are you cold in the shower? You got hot water
some don't have heated water in showers
You don't need no blanket for a heater. Just get a doggo and let them sleep on top of you, that should you warm more than the sun itself.
Sergio Ruiz Moreno what about allergies?
can u drink the water you soaked the flash light in or do i have to choose between dehydration or light
The dog was like what the he*l I’m trying to sleep 🤣🤣
10:27 How awful life must be, living inside an infomercial. Pulling a blanket over yourself suddendly becomes an impossible task.
that flashlight would be great for camping or a survival type situation
Yeah just dip it in a creek lake or river
I thought the HydraLight looked so cool I paused the video and looked it up on Amazon. Save your money. Apparently it only charges a few times, then you need to buy a new fuel cell ($15). Several reviewers said this. One said it oozed white liquid. And I didn't even keep digging - those were all from recent reviews on top. :(
HH tried to make it seem like the 300 hour thing was a good thing lol
Damn in USA unlimited SIM only plans are 40$/month?? In Romania its about 5$ and 60 cents
In vietnam it 2$
that heater is a fire hazard
@Teku 57 he pretty much said it was in the video
Maglites can focus their light beams. All you have to do is twist the head either way and it will focus/ unfocus the beam.
Did anyone notice the plug rotated automatically before he touches it, it is creepy @ 8:40
Saad Siddiqui I know... it’s creepy
Uh wh.... ok
Spring loaded
wow
Here are alternate ways of saving money with what is shown. This list is in order of appearance.
-TV without using a cable service: Any TV antenna will do, or you could make your own antenna as shown in 1:00-1:42
-Portable light source: If it uses removable batteries, get rechargeable batteries and a charger that can charge them or go with flashlights that are powered by a lithium-ion battery.
-Vacuum sealed bag: Use a tub of water as shown in 7:25-7:56.
-Something that heats only the room you want heated: Any space heater will do.
Notice: I am not trying to shoot down the point of this video. I posted this to show that you can use a different method to reach the same goal (at least when it comes to saving money).
Edit: I must say, one that plugs right up to the wall outlet without a cable like the one shown in 8:08-10:31 is a very portable space heater. I am impressed that something can be miniaturized like that.
Not sure if there are any safety features built into that heater, but do you really want to heat up an electric outlet to over 100 degrees?
This commentary is gold!
9:04 Setting the heater to 90 degrees doesnt mean it will blow heat at 90 degrees,it means that it will stop heating the room/area temp is 90 degrees
Exactly what i thought! 😂
a comfortable 90 degrees Fahrenheit. that guys a moron if he thinks thats a comfortable temp and if he thinks that was the actual temp.
Leaving Bruce banner a bit tanner
Instead of that heater, use ceramic ones with a motion detector. They heat directly on the skin instead of heating the abient air, saving energy.
At 9:00 I thought the heater exploded but it was it scene transition. 😱😂
picantesworld77 LOL
@@_VictorGrantz_ 😂🙂
Missed this channel
his ability to make reviews of products I’d never buy not just entertaining but addicting was so impressive. Every time I come back to the channel I end up watching like a dozen of these vids in a row. Hope the rest of you are doing well 🙏
Actually the LED mag-light has an adjustable beam, and that particular mag (takes 3 D cells) is extremely bright, with fresh batteries, you can spot light something from 3 blocks away.
"Slurping up raw meat"😂
back in the day we connected our antenna to our clothes line which was just a line made out of metal
Fuel cells work best with distilled water, so the standard water used may have led to that corrosion that happened.
Ok
This is true!
Came for the dollar, stayed for your dog. Gotta love a Dane 🙃
The hydralight cell only works for about 3 charges, and the 300hr rating is generous. Expect for have around 150hrs of actual usable light and that might also depend on if the cell has water but isn't being used. This is the type of product for preppers who dont want to depend on the shelf life of batteries, not the everyday trekker. Use it more as a backup rather than a primary lightsource.
You put the thermometer directly above the heater. What was the temperature on the other side of the room? Yeah if you're standing right next to the heater you going to warm up especially right above it. But these heaters don't provide all that many BTUs and so won't be able to heat a room entirely through.
Home thermostats aren't mounted at the height of your sockets for more than your convenience of not having to bend over. The heater's temperature is probably compensating for it's temperature compared to the amount of heat it's producing so was probably accurate because you wouldn't want to be in a room that's 77 degrees that close to the floor. The thermostat should have been placed at shoulder height and on a different wall to give actual ambient temperature
4:07 what am i supposed to think?
Piss. You can piss on the battery...
Any fluid will do!
@@dontmindme7818 Thank you!
Wow the tv antenna one surprised me so much I had no clue that a thing 😀
Seems to come as a great shock to anyone under the age of 30. Yes over-the-air TV broadcasting is a thing, and has been since the 1950s. You don't pay to receive TV signals in the US. The UK does impose an annual TV licencing fee per household, I think its currently about £159/year.
Haven't seen a video from you guys since 2008 or so. Can't believe you guys are still killing it
@IHas well, that would make my comment more inappropriate than I am comfortable with. Luckily a month ago was the last drop so probably not.
Even though I’ve already watched most of the videos, I still watch it again...
What. The. Fuck. A battery that is powered by water!? How!? Just thinking of all the possible applications makes my head hurt. How is this not more widespread? I want to learn moreeeeee
Search electrolysis
I'll save you alot of headache and just let you know that it doesn't have enough power to do much more than a flashlight, and doesn't last long enough to be used for anything else. Imagine a phone that has a battery only good for 2.5 weeks. It's not a miracle battery.
most old car battery have a water and an unkown content in it stealing the oxagin in water you can make them realy smol and olny have to fill them up very 5 to 6 years why we never use em anymore well ricein and solfer hxaclorid are not safe for humans
I got an idea for a product. Why not do something similar to your cheap idea for vacuum bags, but to allow it to be safe for meats too, just do a vacuum machine with a small, straw-like, rod inside, and do the same process. But not worry about slurping it yourself to get either A: the food contaminated and B: you don't take in raw meat or fish accidentally.
that's essentially what it does with the custom bags. . .
Let’s go 5 million subs. Join the fight

“You can turn the fan on high, as long as you like jet engines.” 😂😂
What? I can't hear you over my heater!
How did I get here from Live PD???
LogsH I am not sure I did to lmao
Diabetic coma?
Lol
You seem like a smart person.. but, you do know every mag light has an adjustable beam pattern right?
For research purposes how hard does the fresh vac suck
Just as good as ur girl can 😜
I wondered why the Handy Heater looked familiar then i turned around and realized the heater my dad stole from his work for me was the same exact one
That's a felony, and I am a police officer. Please do not resist..
/s
5:03 you can adjust the beam on a MAG Lite so it will light up the center.
True. Maybe he does not know how to use it
The handy heater takes up ab entire electrical outlit. Here is Chicago, outlits in older buildings are precious. Most rooms have only one, so you have to make the most of it.
how to save money:
step 1: don’t buy these products
step 2: profit??
Glad to know my iPhone 5s can be sold for 5 dollars
I heard they make excellent floor mats out of them for dacia dusters
Uh, did I watch a RUclips video for "As Seen on TV" products or was it a advertisment for "Declutter"? I'm not really sure.
“As long as you like jet engines” 😂😂😂
the heater is actually pretty good for the bathroom during winter.
Slurping up raw meat?... Ha sounds like my wife's Friday night... To bad she's always hanging out with that damn neighbor every weekend. In his defense he is always in such a great mood Saturday mornings...
so u let ur wife with another dude every Sunday?
Dude, it was a dark joke. Of course I don't let me wife sleep with the neighbor.... But it's a funny shocking comment to make
@@azjeepguy83 let me guess, you don't have a wife or a girlfriend and you're 12?
Guys stop bullying him man it was a funny joke
"Heaters gonna heat."
Me: *AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHYYYYYYYY*
I mean...you could adjust the beam on the mag light
This comment is for the 20 people who have ever used a Mag-Lite and/or have gone outside at night
When it comes to learning useful information, RUclips beats school by a long shot. And this channel's info will save me quite a lot of cash in college, which means I'll worry about debt less :D
"heaters gonna heat". I lol'd.
You placed the thermostat just above the heating element so the hot air goes up and heats it.But what about the other side of the room
3:36. Here you go
talking about a vaccum device: "let's see if this thing sucks"
my god who writes this
I love this channel but I forgot about it for three years I didn’t suddenly remembered the dude that does asotv
Wayne: It certainly does suck 😂
Alot of people sure seem to be triggered by this video for some reason people just abuse the dislike button there is literally nothing wrong with this video and it's well edited witch takes time
Thomas Polinze people disliked cause of the in video ads 🤦🏽♂️
Jay Nyc I don't have that problem I have a rooted phone
Maglights have adjustable beams dude. Twist the front of it and the dark spot goes away...
I can’t believe someone that makes a living on gadget videos doesn’t know that. I thought it was common sense lol
Geez no need to be rude :/
I'm guessing the 'fuel cell' of the hydralight is a normal chemical battery and water simply wets the electrolyte. Better get lantern with rechargeable batteries.
I bought the heater and It works great in the bathroom during the winter. No more frozen ass cheeks here.
4:10 Wait, you’re saying that I can rub and tug my “lamp” and charge my flashlight at the same time while looking at someone who is flashing people on a website specifically tailored for people to do that! Awesome!
You have to twist the bulb end of the mag light to get rid of the big 'ol dot.
the mag lights gan be adjusted by turning the front piece where the light is
U actually are really good at sponsoring
I remember one of my old customers when I used to work for Comcast connected one end of the coax into his TV and the other end he stripped it to the Copper core and left about 2 feet off. got 55ish channels. pretty smart
That Handy Heater thing looks like a portable fire hazard. I would be afraid to use it.
