**Product Review: 6 Products Put to the Test**
In this episode of [Show Name], we put six products to the test to see if they live up to their promises. From a kit that does its job just fine, to a tiny laser tape measure that's a steal at under 20€.
**First Up: A Kit That Gets the Job Done**
I recently moved into a new house and found myself constantly needing a product like this kit. It's a simple device that helps you stay organized, but it does its job just fine. The kit comes in different variations to suit all sorts of needs, and I was impressed by its overall quality.
However, my test setup wasn't ideal - my power supply delivers 180W, which is more than the 100W maximum recommended by the manufacturer. This resulted in a HP compatible adapter that didn't work as well as it could have. But even with these setbacks, I think this kit is worth considering.
**A Power Adapter That Charges Your Laptop on the Go**
This power adapter claims to solve a common problem for laptop users: carrying around big and bulky power supplies. For around 5€, you can get an adapter that works for multiple laptop brands and delivers up to 100W of power via USB-C.
I was excited to try this out, but my test setup wasn't perfect. The adapter didn't work well while the laptop was running, but it did its job when the laptop was turned off. I'm happy with the overall idea and hardware quality of this product, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone in need.
**A DIY Powerbank That Packs a Punch**
This updated PCB from our previous project video supports PD3.1 and can output 140W - more power is always better! I was excited to test out this new version, but I encountered some issues with compatibility. However, after finding a suitable trigger board and USB-C cable, I was able to get my 28V output working.
The results were impressive: the ripple on the output was good, and the heat created by the power handling components was minimal. I'd definitely recommend this PCB for anyone planning to build their own DIY powerbank.
**A Tiny Laser Tape Measure That's a Steal**
I've had a similar product in my arsenal for ages, but it's always been pricey. This tiny laser tape measure is a 5th of the price - and it's just as useful. Not only does it measure distances with accuracy, but it also calculates areas and volumes.
My only gripe is that it uses an internal battery, which can be a bit of a drawback. However, in direct comparison to my expensive model, this cheap version seems spot on. And when it comes to long distances, both models are incredibly accurate. If you don't need a digital spirit level, I'd definitely recommend the cheap version - you get a lot of value for your money.
**Conclusion**
And that's it for this episode - all six products received a thumbs up from me. Whether you're in the market for a kit to stay organized, a power adapter to charge your laptop on the go, or a DIY powerbank to pack into your backpack, there's something here for everyone.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enYeah; this is one strange motor that I ofcourse found on AliExpress which is an onlineseller that offers the newest, most bizarrebut also interesting electronics and non electronicsproducts.But since you never exactly know whether aproduct is really a hidden gem or simply garbage;I created this video series.And today I got 6 more intriguing lookingproducts to check out in order to ultimatelytell you whether you should give them a tryor stay far away from them.Let's get started!This video is sponsored by JLCPCB who offers free via-in-pad for their multilayer PCBs. Using via-in-pad often means higher additional costs, but in JLCPCB, you can enjoy this service for free.Via-in-pad allows vias to be placed directly on the copper pads, This gives a lot of extra flexibility in routing, especially under BGA components.Additionally JLCPCB is currently running a promotion for 6-layer boards. SoClick the link below to claim a $10 coupon and be amazed by their PCB quality and fastshipping.Let's start off with this crazy motor I showedoff at the beginning.This one was actually a suggestion from mydiscord server and I was a bit confused whilehaving a look at the product page for thefirst time.The reason is that I can apparently get a310V motor for around 9€ or a 7.4V to 12.6Vone for double the price.But after reading through the description,I realized what they offer here.You see, they can either send you an original310V high speed BLDC motor from a hair dryeror you can get a modified version that workswith a lower voltage so that you can powerit with batteries.The modifying process by the way consistsof removing the motor windings and replacingthem with new ones, like I also did in a previousvideo.And that is why the low voltage version ismore expensive and that is also the one Iwent with.And to properly drive the motor I firstlygrabbed myself a suitable electronic speedcontroller that can not only handle the maxvoltage, but also the current mentioned inthe description.My ESC also already has an Arduino hookedup, that creates the mandatory RC drive signalto control the motor speed and thus afterconnecting the motor to the ESC and givingit all power, everything seems to work perfectlyfine and it seems like this motor is trulya high speed one.Now such an EDF ake Electric Ducted Fan usuallyget used for RC aircraft models since theyproduce a lot of thrust.But since this one comes with an aluminiumshell and thus is pretty heavy, it is notrecommended for this application.Instead you can however use it to very effectivelydust off surfaces or blow fast air into hardto reach spots which is definitely a decentalternative to big and expensive air compressorsor such compressed air cans.And since the seller even offers free 3D printedmodels for such an application and my 2 minutefull power test didn't heat up the motor toa critical value, I would recommend this productand I am actually planning to use it in mygarage quite often from now on.And as you might have noticed; I used a 3SLiPo battery to power the motor which I ofcourse now have to charge up again with myold school battery charger here.Now don't worry this charger still works perfectlyfine; but how about a modern update with thisISDT Q6 Nano Charger that you can get foraround 34€.After unboxing it, I got to say that its designand shape looks very nice and high quality.And best off; it is quite a lot smaller thanmy old charger while featuring around thesame maximum input and output values.So after powering it up with my lab benchpower supply; I had a look at all its settingsand what it can do.And of course it can do all the popular batterychemistries, just like my old charger.But then there is also the addition of HighVoltage Li-ion that for example your phonesbattery uses.There you can even precisely set a chargingvoltage, very nice.And then you also got additional featureslike depleting batteries completely or usingthe charger as a DC power supply which inmy test worked wonderfully, came with a greatefficiency and decent max output ripple.But what I love most is that you can checkthe voltage of each individual cell of a batterypack as well as their internal resistanceand needless to say this modern display witha modern UI is definitely more pleasing thanmy old school solution.So yeah, all in all I really like this chargerwhich of course does its main job of chargingbatteries up just fine.Its utilized hardware also all looks verywell made and should hopefully last for along time to come meaning that this thingwill be my new standard battery charger fromnow on.Ok; next we come to a product from the category:„Why does this exist?“ and it is thiswireless HDMI extender kit that you can getfor around 42€.Now when going back 20 years ago then I fondlyremember these wireless AV kits because youusually only had one cable output in yourhouse and extending that to another room wouldbe a hassle and thus you would use such awireless AV kit.But now with HDMI devices, you can prettyeasily unplug them and just move them nextto the screen where you want to use them,so why does this kit exist?Well, according to the pictures in the productdescription, I can kind of see where theyare coming from.So let's simply test it out by plugging inthe dongles, connecting 5V power and therewe go.Now I got to say that at close range the lagbetween input and screen output was prettylow, you could play like this.But keep in mind that the resolution can onlybe 1080p and for me it felt like the feedhad very minor stutters.And when it comes to image quality then Ithink there is not much of a difference betweenwireless and wired HDMI.So next I measured how much power each donglerequires which was under 10mA for the transmitterand around 200mA for the receiver, not bad.And when it comes to the range, then the descriptionclaims 50m without any walls in between whichI firstly tested out with my crude setup hereand for me the video feed suddenly froze ata distance of around 30m.But the best news I think, is that the connectionwas surprisingly super stable pretty mucheverywhere I moved in my house.So yeah all in all I got to admit that thiskit does its job just fine and if you havea need for a product like this, then I canrecommend it.Next let's have a look at this small producthere that claims to solve a common problemwith laptops.You see when on the go, you always have tocarry their big and bulky power supplies aroundto obviously charge them up.But with this adapter, that you can get foraround 5€ and in lots of different variationsfor all kinds of laptop brands, you can apparentlycharge your laptop with a 100W USB-C powersupply.Now granted though, my test setup was notideal because my power supply delivers 180Wwhich is more than the 100W maximum whichthe manufacturer does not recommend.And also, the MSI brand was not an optionon the product page and thus I simply wentwith the dimensions of the barrel which resultedin this HP compatible adapter.But you know maybe even with all these setbacks,it still might work.So I firstly tried it out while the laptopwas running and that didn't really work.As you can see, the blue LED on the adapterwas on, the input power kept going up anddown and the charging symbol only came onevery couple of seconds.And after waiting 20 minutes like this, thebattery charging state also didn't go up.But on the positive side when my laptop isturned off, this thing seems to work justfine and charges with around 60W which yes;this time charged the battery in such a waythat the laptop noticed it.So all in all, I like the overall idea andthe hardware quality of this USB C PD triggerboard is also pretty nice.And because many people wrote that this adapterworked for them, I do have to give it thethumbs up even though it is not ideal formy laptop.So moving on to this intriguing looking aluminiumbox that houses a PCB inside which all inall costs around 28€.Now you might recognize this PCB because Iused its older brother in a previous projectvideo to build a DIY 100W powerbank.And this new PCB is basically the updatedversion that now supports PD3.1 and thus canoutput 140W aka 5A at 28V.And since more power is always better, I hadto give it a try and thus set its input toa 4S battery pack and connected the pack Icreated for my old powerbank to it.Only problem now was that I could not activatethe 28V output since my PD trigger board aswell as my USB C cable does not support PD3.1But thankfully I found a new trigger boardon AliExpress as well and in combination witha new USB-C cable, I finally got my 28V.And drawing 5A seems to work just fine eventhough the voltage did drop quite a bit.But the ripple on the output was looking prettygood as well as the heat created by the powerhandling components.Meaning I was pretty happy with the boardduring my test rides and thus I would certainlyrecommend it if you are planning to builda DIY powerbank.And that brings us to the last product whichis this rather tiny laser tape measure thatyou can get for around 17€.Now I do have in fact a similar product lyingaround that I very often use to measure distancesin all kinds of different situations and letme tell you this thing is really useful.Besides simply measuring distances, you canalso calculate areas, volumes or even useit as a digital spirit level.The only problem I have with it, is that itis quite pricey.So this 5 times cheaper option definitelyhas the price advantage here and what I alsolike about it, is that it has an internalbattery while my expensive one uses AAA batteries.Other than that, it seems to measure distancesjust fine as well and can also calculate areasand volumes.However in direct comparison and at the sameconditions, the expensive one seems to bespot on all the time, while the cheap versioncomes with a tiny bit of wiggle room.And when it comes to long distances they bothseem quite accurate and very close to oneanother meaning that if you don't need a digitalspirit level, I would certainly recommendthe cheap version because for that price youcertainly get a lot of value.And with that being said we successfully hada closer look at 6 more products and I thinkfor the first time ever, I only gave thumbsups, amazing.Of course there is still more to discoverin future episode so stay tuned for that.Until then consider supporting this show onPatreon and as always don't forget to like,share, subscribe and hit
