Heatstar Portable Propane Cabinet Heater Bruce L. 2023-10-21 | I wanted an emergency backup heater in case the power ever goes out in the house or garage and to perhaps use on the deck or porch. This one seems to fit the bill perfectly. It has three settings. Low = 6000btu, Medium = 12000btu and High being 18000btu and runs off regular 20lb propane bottles like you’d use for your backyard grill. Thanks for watching!

Cool New Screwdrivers! Bruce L. 2024-04-28 | I saw an ad for this Rotation 12 piece magnetic tip, hex drive, hammer-able screwdriver set and the price was right so I ordered it.

RC Micro Helicopter, It all started so good Bruce L. 2024-01-07 | But then she went a little sideways and crashed into the pool table light before careening into the wall and plummeting to the floor with a thud. This is what happens when you try to fly a helicopter with one hand and film it at the same time. No rc helicopters were harmed in the making of the video. This wasn't the first crash in the five years I've had the chopper and it likely won't be the last. It's a tough little machine.Thanks for watching! Please like, comment, subscribe and share

Byrna SD Canada Launcher Kit Bruce L. 2023-12-09 | The Byrna SD Canada Kit contain the Byrna SD Launcher, seven 8 gram co2 canisters, fifteen different samples of projectiles consisting of kinetic projectiles (rock hard unbreakable plastic), eco kinetic (composed of a compound that quickly breaks down when exposed to moisture) and some pro training projectiles that break into an inert powder when they strike a hard object. Unfortunately Pepper or tear gas balls are illegal where I live and some states. The launcher shoots the projectile at roughly 300fps. That may seem low but it’s launching a rock hard kinetic 60cal projectile known to cause bodily harm at distance of 60’. Thanks for watching ! Please like, subscribe, comment and share!

SKT 10 Amp SDS Rotary Hammer Drill on Sale at Lowes! Bruce L. 2023-11-30 | A friend clued me onto this awesome deal for a rotary hammer drill.

VODA Heat Powered Fan on Portable Propane Cabinet Heater Bruce L. 2023-11-03 | I’ve been curious about these heat powered fans for as long as I can remember and when I recently bought this Heat Star 6000-18000 BTU Radiant Propane Cabinet Heater I ordered this fan on Amazon to try it out. I searched YT for any videos showing someone using one with this type of heater and didn’t find much, so decided to record a video trying it out. It works fantastic. If you’re considering doing the same thing, do it. It’s whisper quiet and requires no power source. It moves a fair bit of air and is just plain cool!The fan continued to spin for at least fifteen minutes after the heater was shut off.Link to Propane heater video:youtu.be/MvdZnJVPFRMThanks for watching!
