Takeaway: Compact, lightweight, accurate, and simple to use.

The tire inflator comes in a zippered nylon padded case. Inside you'll find the air compressor, instruction manual, and nozzle accessories for inflating sports balls and other inflatable items like pool toys and air mattresses. The tire inflator housing is made from a lightweight plastic and it measures 7.5"H x 11"L x 5"W. On the back is the dual power selector switch which lets you choose between A/C power or DC power. If using DC power, you'll find a built-in cigarette lighter power adapter cable neatly stowed in the bottom of the unit along with the nylon braided air hose. For A/C power, use the included 6' cable which can be found in the narrow pouch on the right-hand-side of the carrying case.

On the front of the unit, is an LED light which can be set to a bright flashlight mode or flashing red emergency SOS signal. On the top of the unit is an LCD display that is backlit with a bright blue LED for clear viewing even in dark conditions. The number to the left on the display is the pre-set shutoff pressure and the number to the right is the current pressure of the tire. The '+' and '-' keys allow you to select a pre-set pressure for inflation. Just press and hold either key until the display starts flashing and press up and down to increase or decrease the value in half PSI increments. The ‘M' key allows you to change the units from PSI to BAR or kPa.

The unit is easy to attach to your tires and use and pumps air quickly. Using the sports pin, you can inflate balls quickly too. When the pressure of the tire exceeds the pre-set shutoff value, the unit automatically stops pumping air. In practice, you will always end up 1 PSI higher than your shutoff value. When checked with a tire gauge, the pressure reading of the unit appears to be accurate. If your tires are over inflated, you can let the air out of your tire easily by pressing and holding the bleeder button next to the air hose nozzle.

Overall, the tire inflator was able to quickly and accurately fill my tires. It's compact, portable, and simple to use.

Buy it at Amazon: CVLife E6-T6 LED Flashlight [Affiliate Link]

Takeaway: Bright, compact, and durable flashlight.

The flashlight and accompanying accessories come in a reusable storage case that can be stowed in your car's trunk or in an emergency kit. You'll receive a charger for 18650 Li-ion rechargable batteries, a spare battery, and a bicycle mount so you can use this as a bike headlight. The flashlight has a heavy duty construction from a lightweight aluminum and with the battery inserted still weighs only 4.5 oz. The flashlight lens is made of acrylic and is recessed to prevent scratches when you set this down on its face. It looks nice with its matte black finish and textured grips for easy handling. There's a wrist strap too, though it lacks a tightening cinch.

Inside the flashlight, there's also an optional AAA battery bay that takes 3 batteries in case of an emergency and you can't charge the 18650s. Note that the battery in either case is inserted with the positive end first. There are 5 modes for this light: high, medium, low, strobe and SOS. To switch between the modes, you can either press lightly on the power button or turn the flashlight off and on again. The beam for the flashlight can also be concentrated or "zoomed" to focus it for a brighter spotlight on a smaller area that goes a farther distance. The flashlight measures 5.25" and 6.25" when fully extended. The diameter is 1.5". With this flashlight, the unit runs warm after a few minutes of continuous operation. Make sure to turn it off before storing or putting it in your pocket. Overall, this flashlight is bright, lightweight and portable, so it's a good option for a utility drawer, glove box or emergency kit.
