Be aware of scam/spam accounts pretending to be me in the comments, telling you to contact them or offering you a prize. I report/block these as I find them, but RU-vid rarely does anything about them. When in doubt, click on the profile to see if it's legit or not! Also, I don't give away prizes in the comments here!

@frozedokkanbattle Год назад

I was getting them all the time never clicked on them. Love the channel James thanks for the heads up to your fans

@humble2246 Год назад

Hi there, I highly suggest you do not use the phone holder shelf as it exposes the live plug of the adapter which obviously can expose you to mains voltage and perhaps short circuits that would cause a house fire.

@TrollFaceTheMan Год назад

Hey man what you can do is go into your channel settings and blacklist common words they use like prize and such so comments using those words will be automatically held for review. If you do it right you should be able to just about eliminate all of them.

@jagergerg9771 Год назад

Yeah you’re totally right RU-vid does nothing about them I must’ve reported hundreds it’s not worth it anymore

@hannahanderson4305 Год назад

Just an FYI, you can put your phone on a night stand and wireless charger, 😁

@gkmacca1 Год назад

2:30 - in a few years time, James will open this book, see the scribbled notes and think, 'What does this MEAN???'

@ShellyS2060 Год назад

And you have just summed up my note taking in any class ever😀

@ShirlBussman Год назад

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@nii_amart Год назад

Didn't think the transparent sticky pad would be too useful but they are very useful. Especially with highlighting words in books. Something like that would've been really helpful when I was in college.

@Freakinreviews Год назад

I didn't expect much either, but I was pleasantly surprised!

@TheMaraj Год назад

I had always avoided highlighting and taking notes in my textbooks because I wanted to recoup the any cost I could be selling them. Those sticky notes are amazing. Too bad I’m not in school to enjoy them haha.

@Freakinreviews Год назад

My thoughts exactly!

@RBickersjr Год назад

I've actually bought the candle lighter previously. One use for it that you neglected to mention where it is perfectly suited is lighting fireworks. Higher winds won't matter and quick lighting is very important.

@benchandler4298 Год назад

A suggestion for stationery products such as the sticky notes - would be great to see these tested with ballpoint, rollerball and gel ink pens in the future, as these all act quite differently! Fountain pens are more niche, but at least covering those three would be very useful. Thanks for showcasing those interesting translucent notes!

@Asyouarenow Год назад

I can agree, I'm in a situation where I'm taking notes lately. Some ball points are fantastic and some are garbage, same goes with gel pens.

@RunescapeMeister-san Год назад

All in the inks baby, really big on my diamine imperial purple but it has a bit more of a smudge issue than others I've tried. Would be interesting to see how quickly it writes and dries on plastic like that.

@IvanGonzalez-xg4zw Год назад

Also, have these pads and they smear when I write on the actual pad itself

@JJJ115583 Год назад

in addition to that, after you made notes on the sticky notes, try CLOSING THE BOOK and leave it that way for a while. when the pages gets compressed, usually the opposite page can get ink blots.

@daddynolegs Год назад

Asking a general product reviewer to test stationary to its full extent is unreasonable. Should we have him take apart all the electronics to make sure they don't have faulty wiring too? Measure how much power they take out of an outlet? It's an 8 dollar sticky note!

@Meepstrocity Год назад

I have expensive textbooks for college and I don't really want to mark them up, especially if I make a mistake in my markings. The transparent sticky notes are an awesome idea. This will be the first time I actually buy a product after seeing the review! Thanks! I will have to self experiment with the kind of pens I use, incase they smudge with the different ink types. Changing to a different pen won't be an issue if just for note taking. Thanks again! I never knew I needed something that I never knew existed in the first place.👍

@Freakinreviews Год назад

Good luck and let me know how you like them!

@hamasathecold7842 Год назад

I 100% agree. I’ve been using sticky notes for note taking for a long time, this will actually be quite beneficial to me since I’ll actually be able to read what’s underneath now

@ivanpetrov5255 Год назад

I'm not in school anymore, but this was my first thought, when he started slapping them on books.

@flamefangstar Год назад

I hope it went well!

@Kenbur Год назад

I have a version of the candle lighter with a built-in light that points toward the sparking arch. It is something I have used regularly to light multi things over the last three years. From candles to campfires to burners to pilot lights. With the built-in flashlight, it is great for many things like overnight camping, hiking, and travel trips.

@Freakinreviews Год назад

That is a wonderful additional feature!

@qg786 Год назад

I usually keep my car keys upstairs rather than downstairs. I know of a few people who was burgled whilst they slept and they took off with valuables and cars because they left the car keys downstairs.

@lilsheba1 Год назад

I have had that exact electric lighter for a couple of years and love it. Light candles every day with it.

@Freakinreviews Год назад

That is wonderful!

@lisaboban Год назад

I have that arc lighter and it's still going strong after 2 years. Nice product.

@ManosRK Год назад

I love these videos with the various smaller, everyday objects!!!! Rather than the others were you show one big thing to the fullest extent.

@nateacgd1122 Год назад

For the charger sliding situation you can wrap a rubber band around the charging brick to create a lip so the stand doesn't slide

@quintonkoepnick Год назад

I'm not an electrician or anything, but when you put the plug shelf on the metal prongs and plugged it in, my brain said "Now who am I gonna watch for product reviews?". Not advised to ever risk electrocution lol.

@popenieafantome9527 Год назад

That is definitely a risk. But bigger risk is probably prongs heating up and making plastic catch fire. Pretty sure he is careful about how he pulls out the plug

@technicalotaku5970 Год назад

the sticky notes seemed so bland at the start but seeing how how they work when you use them as bookmarkers/highlighters in combination with the freedom to write or scratch through whatever was really impressive for such a simple item, kinda gives yoou the ability to give a second layer to anything you put it on

@InfectiousGroovePodcast Год назад

We have one of those electric candle lighters. We were very surprised by how well it worked. We use it a lot and the charge screens to hold.

@Freakinreviews Год назад

So far I like it!

@DeltaDemon1 Год назад

Normal BBQ lighters tend to stop working if not used over the winter for me. So I thought it was because they were cheap. I bought an expensive one, same problem. I reverted to using matches for BBQs but this might be worth it.

@ItsJustLisa Год назад

I love those post-it notes! I’d send those to my to my nephews who are in college. Those would have been fabulous for selling books back to the bookstore. If you forget one or two, the next person can just peel them off and it’s as good as new. I do have one of those rechargeable arc candle lighters and I love it! It’s a pain trying to light a candle with a butane lighter only to realize it’s empty and you forgot to replace it the last time you realized it was empty.

@Scott924m Год назад

I like how it was a camera from below then it magically turned into a candle from above 😄

@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Год назад

Okay, my mind is blown with those sticky-pads for highlighting! I'm not even in school anymore and can see how useful those would be! I hope the libraries and book stores at schools/colleges keep them on hand for sale so studentd have quick access to them (though this also being said, these places also often sell them above regular price, but if you need them in a pinch and don't want to damage your books, they'll do. Maybe sell the pads individually for 50 cents each or something). Hope this can help with getting more value back if the texbooks are sold off, considering they already cost an arm and a leg to buy them.

@Freakinreviews Год назад

Libraries should sell something like that!

@zigweegwee Год назад

@@Freakinreviews I work in a library. This is such a great idea. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to sell anything - just replace the books people ruin by writing in them. 😥

@JorgeGonzalez-yt8sy Год назад

also may be able to reuse the sticky notes by wiping with alcohol

@labsareperfect Год назад

That lighter made it so that I can light scented candles and birthday candles again! Having no more strength in my fingers I couldn’t use the regular lighters anymore.

@T3hN3wB Год назад

Love cheap gadget videos!!

@robert.m4676 Год назад

Love is always good

@markbajek2541 Год назад

If you could get in the right position to light a cigarette with the electronic lighter , it would certainly light a cigarette. (although they do make smaller versions of that device for cigarettes.)

@margeebechyne8642 Год назад

With the smeary pens, they are probably using gel pens. They smear badly, but are recommended for writing checks (they are very hard to erase from check paper). But I use regular pens when just writing notes, etc - so those new sticky notes will be a great thing for me to use. I'm also going to look for the candle lighter and maybe the microwave stacker. When I'm visiting my dad (about to turn 92), he likes to microwave food for us but he does it one at a time. I'm sure he would love to have one of those. Thank you!! 😊

@brianbaugusmusic Год назад

My concern about the cloud key holder is it’s so close to the wall, you’re gonna get scratch marks where the keys rest after a while

@cyberi4a Год назад

I had to have my furnace repaired last winter and the repairman used one of those lighters to relight the pilot light. So if a professional uses one, they must be a good product. Those sticky notes were a good item. I use gel pens so that may be what smears, couldn't really tell if any pen you used was a gel pen.

@rmx77 Год назад

those sticky notes are great to keep books clean. many times i find books that were used in school like novels, and personal text books. i even find people writing stuff in the middle margin in a bible. these would keep the books clean for the next reader or user

@Sicara91 Год назад

The transparent sticky notes are so cool, those would have been so handy for rental textbooks

@kathy32850 Год назад

The plate stacker is interesting but one needs to measure their mw turnplate first.

@daveharvey1141 Год назад

I really like the camera angle in the candle and the nicely timed edit when you lit it. Very nice James! 😊👍

@Freakinreviews Год назад

Thank you! That was actually one of my favorite moments to film!

@paulmcfarlane5481 Год назад

Hi love the channel.been a fan for ages now.before u even demonstrated the candle lighter I went on amazon and ordered 1 for a friend who loves candles.she has been looking after me while recovering from a heart attack and then covid that I got in hospital.all the best from Scotland

@lakrfan4980 Год назад

On the transparent notes you could have tried a gel pen to see if it smudges.

@woodstream6137 Год назад

Those sticky pads are a great idea - $10 for 400. Wish I had them in college, book prices were outrageous.

@jerrymiller276 Год назад

I have a propane lighter similar to the one used here, but it is flexible just like the RONXS. I can also light things like campfires, charcoal grills, deep candle lanterns, and many other things with it, unlike a lighter that is only designed to light candles and the occasional gas stove. Take that RONXS.

@foxycrystal8961 Год назад

Really would love to see a Magnetic Key Holder update in the upcoming weeks to see if it's holding up instead of waiting a year for the usual monthly update videos lol

@Freakinreviews Год назад

If there's a change, I'll update the video description and my article and possibly post a RU-vid Story about it.

@lhoffmann6537 Год назад

I bet gel pens will smudge on the sticky notes. They smudge on anything glossy.

@jeanneg7430 Год назад

If you decide you need to take the adhesive attached cloud from your wall, try using a hair dryer. It usually will release adhesive from the wall (or stickers from a glass or plastice surface, etc., etc.). You may have to buy your own adhesive to reattach it, though.

@sabby_80 Год назад

I've been using those charging lighters for a while now and I'll never go back to the Bics. Love em

@Skilful_basics8 Год назад

I had the insert for my zippo that was rechargeable and worked like the candle lighter. It sucked though and I couldn’t do crap with it. I now have the butane insert for it and it works like a charm.

@AwkwardHistory Год назад

This video was fun to watch. I really enjoy the videos where you cover multiple items. 😊

@bradasstv Год назад

I don't like the plug/phone holder thing... Mainly because it does weigh down the plug and after a while your outlet will probably be screwed up and your plugs will be falling out without the holder there. I would think that would speed up the process of ruining your 2 pronge outlets for sure lol

@ligiav864 Год назад

The little clouds I've had them for 5 years now and still holding strong.

@cantsay Год назад

I would like more tets on the microwave stacker please. Usually these technically work, but because the foods spread around so much it requires much more time to properly heat, so much so that just heating the individual dishes is faster. Can you do some time vs temp tests? Does it create excessive cold pockets in the food? Otherwise it seems like a great idea! Thanks!!!

@barcham Год назад

Well, you just cost me $11.33 CAN because I had to order the transparent sticky notes. LOL Cost a little more in Canada, but I think they will be well worth it. I plan on using them in cookbooks to add notes to recipes, this way, I won't have to mark up the pages themselves. Great idea! I would have ordered the cloud keyholder, but that is $18.60 here on Amazon Canada and that is just more than I am willing to spend on something like that. The phone holder is a nice idea, but my phone has wireless charging, like my 2 phones before it, and my PC has a wireless charging pad built into the case, so I have no use for it. I really like these cheap gadget videos, I can usually find something that is really useful. Keep them coming! 👍

@dinero1169 Год назад

CANDLE CAM!!!!!!!!! Loved it. Good thing I didn't enjoy my gummies from the "candy" shop before that. 😆

@james0000 Год назад

Right off the bat, those are amazing at being a lazy way to highlight very large sections of text. I am loving these so far.

@debbys2058 Год назад

Great reviews, especially the translucent sticky notes for students & their books ....always a "thumbs-up" video.

@crawdaddydoo Год назад

I've been curious about those sticky notes for a while, thanks for reviewing them

@bomafett Год назад

I have a similar lighter and I like it a lot. It is basically a mini stun gun. It can give you quite a shock if you touch the arc.

@JDKaye Год назад

Great video. Nice mix of gadgets. I have the arc lighter, but mine also has an led light. Same price.

@cristinweekley2547 Год назад

Thanks for the product testing, very helpful!

@christinekeleher3578 Год назад

I love the sticky notes and I use my lighter all the time. Have one for home and trailer.

@hannahanderson4305 Год назад

Love all of them, good picks

@Organizing-TV Год назад

For the first product; did you notice any smearing on the opposite page after closing the book? That would by my main concern as the sticky notes looked like plastic. In my mind I image the smooth plastic would easily rub off on the more rough paper when the pressure of a closed book is applied (especially if moved around). But again, thanks for taking the time to share all these innovative products with us!

@justincornelius3670 Год назад

Love your videos man keep it up

@ShirlBussman Год назад

I love the sticky notes but I can't think of any reason that I would purchase them. Thanks again James for another enjoyable video. 😁😁

@EggMan2003 Год назад

Im still rocking my 10sMax too! Works just fine for what i need it for

@michaelclatecki8157 Год назад

All of the products seem pretty cool, hours. Pretty impressed with the first product. The highlighter paper stuff. I'm not a book guy but I could see that will be real useful for kids or even adults who's going to college or even whatever kind of desk work you do with books. It doesn't damage the book and great on top of the sticky note. So that's pretty useful. I was surprised how expensive the phone charger holder thing is. The lighter was cheaper than that lol. And that seems like a basic piece of plastic with a hinge lol. Yeah if they make maybe two or three different sizes of the stack microwave thing that'll be pretty good. Lot of microwaves got different size, rotating dishes. And the phone holder again. Not too sure if I trust how it might wear and tear the sockets or outlets for having that weight. Looks like it might be better with those different shape of bricks or chargers. The ones you have to put the phone holder on the wall first then plug it in so it's secured just a little bit.

@shelleylemmond46 Год назад

Awesome video! I actually like all the products. Nice prices too. I really enjoy your video's!

@laurallewien2165 Год назад

Oh I remember that picture of the Russian kids standing around the sunlight in that psychology book, circa 1980something....great video as always James 👍

@Mrs.Foulfellow Год назад

Awesome review on all of these 😘😘😘 thanks

@juliebradley1184 Год назад

The cloud key thing is cute. I'll be excited to see how long it holds up. Good video James! 😊

@Freakinreviews Год назад

Thank you, Julie!

@katiehenry7 Год назад

I wonder if those colored gel pens smudge or the popular felt pens?

@MasterBalmung Год назад

The ink from whatever you're writing with on the transparent sticky notes gets on the opposite pages when you close the book. It's like you have to double stack them and write in the middle of the two notes. (best with either two clear, one colored on bottom and one clear on top, or maybe even put a black paper over it to use as a divider)

@vloveg80 Год назад

As soon as I saw the plate stacker, I thought of those tiny tables inside pizza boxes to keep the lid off of the cheese. Now ai’m wondering if you could use that to stack plates… 🤔😆

@michaelmardling3152 Год назад

probably what it was based off of. I wonder if it was made for larger microwaves, since the legs barely sit on a smaller one, and if there are smaller versions of the stacker for the small/medium plates/bowls

@CrazyBikerGuy Год назад

Phone holder is perfect as long as you have 3 pins. 2 pins if round have better holding than flat pins but I still personally didnt keep mine. Passed it on to family as i just didnt get on with it myself.

@bluephreakr Год назад

The Bobino is a nope-a-rino from me. I am deftly paranoid about NEMA connectors having exposed prongs, this especially makes my brain itchy thinking about it. I am sure with GB plugs it would be _great_ though, since the squared-off prongs allow for better fitment so long the socket isn't clapped out.

@adrenirushxaudri Год назад

That's EXACTLY the dialogue I used whenever I marked my college textbooks. 😆 awesome reviews as always!

@Lives.2.Ride. Год назад

I'm in school studying for my electrician journeyman test and have lots of texts books , those sticky notes look useful 🤔 thanks 👍👍

@shellyswanner3069 Год назад

I have the key holder and I love it!!

@TheNinnyfee Год назад

I absolutely love my electric candle lighter, it's so durable, saves you refills, doesn't explode on you, lights so many candles before you recharge. Good ones even stay charged long in the drawer. Just too narrow for lighting cigarettes etc. But you shouldn't smoke anyway. 😄♥️ The stacker should fit on the rotating tray perfectly being the simple plastic tray it is. 😕

@nrieh4553 Год назад

Definitely going to get those highlighter stickers for my daughter! How come I never saw these?! It's a blessing. I wish we had something like that when I was a kid, most I could do is carefully using very soft and erasible pencil, but It did not work for library books.

@briankale5977 2 месяца назад

Transparent sticky notes blew my mind like "why haven't I seen those until today?"

@Thekingofgodofwar Год назад

I love lighting my candles with a taser

@pennytrui1149 Год назад

5:38 pov: freaking reviews shocking you with the candle lighter lol 😆

@CrimFerret Год назад

I've already ordered a pack of those transparent sticky notes. Would have loved those when I was in school

@luigiviking3667 Год назад

I've noticed the bigger wall charger you get you can actually set the phone on top of the whole charger sometimes and it works without having to buy this product that you showed

@huntercoffman9525 Год назад

For future Q&A or answer in comments.. you say a lot that a product fixes a problem no one has. Is there a problem you have that you wish someone made a product for?

@LuckyStone888 Год назад

I have a plasma arc light and I believe it's the same one. I charged it once when I first got it and never charged it again for almost a year, It's great for candles and some fireplace fire starting,

@miamiceprincess Год назад

I own one of those candle lighters and LOVE it. It lasts a LONG time on one charge and is able to get down into tall jars/vases to light the wicks. I find the BIC ones too hard to use because you have to hold it and push and pull and light all at the same time. Not with this one...just push and light.

@AidenRKrone 8 дней назад

I'm impressed at how much weight the cloud-shaped key-magnet trinket can hold, but I'm positive it wouldn't be able to hold _my_ set of keys; I have three four sets of keys, plus utilities, all connected to a single large keyring.

@Thekingofgodofwar Год назад

That bobino also will pull at the wall plug, I'd argue that product does more harm than good

@tOSdude Год назад

I skipped forward during the sticky notes and thought you highlighted a page as a comparison, then you removed the clear note. Would absolutely be something I grab if I choose to go back to school.

@Timmycoo Год назад

I'm not a big fan of adhesive things either but I do use command strips in certain places (it's how I hang my keys in my apartment since we can't drill without permission). That transparent sticky pad thing was pretty awesome. I would've loved that in HS/College. Also the plate stacker seems a little gimmicky as I can't think of any times I've had to microwave multiple things after each other. When my wife and I reheat leftovers, we just combine it and then split it up lol.

@Telcomvic Год назад

I have used Command hooks to hang keys on the wall for years. They work well and you can put up as many as necessary to accommodate all of your keys.

@1RungAtATime Год назад

What a coincidence; I'm about to order that same lighter...to remove static from my vinyl records! Good thing to know it works on candles as well.😆

@valerief1231 Год назад

I’ve had mine about 2 years and it’s still like new, the charge lasts a long time, and recharges quickly. I’m very happy with it!

@Freakinreviews Год назад

Haha that is a coincidence, Eradicator!

@scootermom1791 Год назад

You can even buy lined transparent sticky notes. 🙂 The lighter would be great for lighting fireworks, since it's wind resistant.

@Sessuro Год назад

I found that the plate stacker actually made cooking times longer than prior. While doing two at once over all still speeds it up, things that would have taken say 3 minutes now took 4-4:30 to reach the same temp if not even 5 minutes.

@colinwheeler9086 Год назад

Had met cloud for two years adhesive as strong as the day I installed it I use all the time but my wife still walks past it and is still forever searching for her keys I guess it's as good as the users and I bought it for her on well life goes on all good reviews keep up the good work Colin from Manchester ,United kingdom

@AwkwardHistory Год назад

I love innovation and these things are a great insight into human creativity, and sometimes weird thinking. 😊 Always interesting though. Oh, and yeah, the scammers are onto your commenters. 😮

@BIGGROBB112IDGAF Год назад

I have the magnetic key holder. Love it. Hold up to 3 sets of keys.

@Rigel_Chiokis Год назад

The phone holder: I always have mine laying on the desk, dresser or bedside table. I've never put my phone on the floor to recharge. The microwave stacker is a neat idea, although, it might be better with a larger oven with a larger turntable. Just meassured my turntable and it's 12 3/4" diameter.

@tibaby2010 Год назад

I have the lighter and I love it!!

@llgaines7892 Год назад

The more food you add to a microwave, the longer it takes to cook. You may find it faster to heat the plates separately.

@Kiyoko191290 Год назад

That key holder like most key holders are a burglar’s dream but especially with it not having hooks

@Maninawig Год назад

For those port-its, you might not have hD water-based pens? Try Gel Pens as they are notorious for not working on such things.

@JustMamba Год назад

the candle thing is cool because it's very easy to burn your fingers or hands holding that candle lighter upside down. done it multiple times lol

@razz4taz Год назад

if possible please review indoor heaters (small rooms) space heaters, fireplace looking & I know you've done the bedjet but did you do the version with heating and cooling? does the cooling actually work?

@bobbyhempel1513 Год назад

They do have long candle or barbecue lighters that have a flexible extension on them but it still doesn't help if you're putting it down inside of a candle in a jar that doesn't have enough oxygen in it for you to like the wick when you have an electric Arc lighter you don't have to worry about oxygen until the wick is lit.
