LIFE+GEAR - 6 PACK FLASHLIGHTS

Right now at Costco.com there is a great offer to purchase six Life+Gear flashlights for $19.99.  The lights offer a multitude of safety features, are waterproof, and run on an LED lighting system.

 

The light has four different light modes which will help users customize the light to their particular needs.  All of the mechanisms to run the light are in the upper portion of the flashlight, and the handle is intentionally left empty for storage.

While the flashlights are not going to win awards for the most lumens (a measurement of a lights strength) in the industry, they certainly cast enough light to change a tire, navigate a powerless house, or get down a dark roadway safely.  

Flashlights always seem to be missing or dead when you need them most, and we have found from testing a number of LED lights that the shelf life can be much longer since the light draws very little energy.

Changing flashlight batteries when you check your smoke detectors is also a useful practice to integrate into home safety plans, and if the storage handle is utilized properly it can boast a wealth of resources in the waterproof handle for even more safety tools (fire steel, keys, pocket knife, or extra batteries). 

The direct link for purchase of the flashlights is HERE, or you can visit www.costco.com and search for the item.

 

BRAMMO - EMPULSE

Would you buy an all-electric motorcycle if it performed as fast as conventional bikes and was within the market pricing?  Brammo is betting you will and has produced a series of all-electric bikes.  The photo shown above is the Empulse and it runs on a digital drive train that allows instant torgue and launches the bike at break neck speeds.

The motorcycle doesn't need fuel, and runs entirely on electricity.  Maintenance costs are much lower and we expect the electric recreation vehicle market to increase drastically as technology evolves.  Brammo motorcycles are available for purchase at http://www.brammo.com/empulse/ 

 

 

 

COLEMAN - 25 QT STACKABLE PARTY COOLER

COLEMAN has taken a clever look at how people are using coolers and released several coolers in their new lineup that maximize space and help keep keep items cool without wasting valuable real estate.  Not only are they designed to accommodate standard size beverages, but this particular model stacks to even allow a secure storage while in transport.

 

The 25 QT cooler shown above will fit 24 cans of beer with ease, and we had to test each can for quality, and the cooler passed with flying colors!  For more information on their entire lineup visit www.coleman.com

 

BOSE - VIDEOWAVE

 

Bose has managed to introduce a product which is certain to catch the attention of anyone who wants a surround sound system to accompany their HD television, but are reluctant to make a purchase because they do not want the hassle that is often associated with it.

Often there is intensive preparation, configuration that requires a masters degree in electronics, or an end result that showcases too many wires or receivers.  To make matters worse people actually pay large sums of money as they seek a theater like experience. 

Bose has been listening to its customers, and decided to expand their product line to this new VideoWave.  While Bose has made its name in the marketplace by extracting incredible sound from an all in one system, it would only make sense that they challenge themselves and stuff all of the quality components into a high definition television set.    

 

 

 

The photo illustrated above is the all new VideoWave Television set that embodies a Bose surround sound system.  There is no need for additional boxes, speakers, or receivers.  Best of all is the simplistic remote that drives the entire system to the theater like experience we all strive for.  For more information visit www.bose.com  

 

 

MASTERLOCK - SPEED DIAL

 

Masterlock has introduced a first of its kind with a lock that operates by up/down/left right directional movements to allow access.  This is fantastic news for many of us because we no longer have to lug keys around, and it puts a twist on the conventional lock market.

There are several advantages to this type of lock to include gloved operation, anti-shim technology, the ability for the combination to be reset to any number of movements in any series of sequence.  Be the first at your workplace to get this lock and feel like the cool kid at school all over again.

NAUTICA  - BFD101 CHRONOGRAPH WATCH

Nautica introduced a sure hit with the BFD 101 Chronograph.  The appearance of the watch is very simple, yet it boasts stitching and craftsmanship that has become standard with any Nautica watch we have worn. 

We have been wearing the BFD 101 in brown for a few months now and have grown to love its ability to blend with whatever outfit is being worn.  The watch is 44mm in size and is considered to be middle of the road.  The watch has held very accurate time, and was very easy to set up.

We see this as a great value for someone who may find himself at the local union meeting one day and standing in front of a crowd at a board meeting giving a presentation in a suit the next. 

Its even more notable to see just how watches seem to extend the attributes of ones personality, and we would be very satisfied for any descriptor used for this particular watch.  The BFD 101 is a quality built watch with an exceptional value.
