Strange gadgets

A useful and slightly overkill habit tracker that beats phone apps, though the touch plates are a bit fiddly; 8/10.

Basically a good marinara with slightly misleading marketing and a high price; he gave it 7/10.

An impressive, detailed saber, but he marks it down because the sabers are rebadged from a Chinese maker at twice the price without being u…

A properly made, genuinely cool miniature lightsaber blowtorch; he gave it the first 9/10, though the colour inserts are pricey.

An elite-tier YouTuber product that smartly builds on MegaPro's design; he scored it 9.5/10.

A fun, fairly reliable toy web shooter, though the motor lacks pulling force; not really a serious product.

A gag gift at best, since a straight line doesn't help with elevation, wind or terrain.

Pure electrical stimulation that made his hand spasm; he wouldn't call it a massage.

The $40 original that the cheap rope launcher copies, with a fast string that defies gravity.

A bit less polished than the original Loop Lasso but just as fun at a fraction of the price.

The effect is as impressive as far pricier versions, with a dimmer light and slightly warped mirrors.

It does pick up dirt, but only a 10 to 15% difference, so trash.

Fiddly to set up, but comfy and secure, and the best product of the whole video.

A pointless blue light that wastes a USB port; the definition of a trash product.

Starts to feel like a race car with noticeably more power, and it knocked over six pins.

Approaches the speed of a real car, comes with warning stickers, and knocked over eight pins.

Painfully slow, like driving a toy for ants, and it knocked over no pins.

Bigger with a proper joystick controller that feels smoother, and it managed four pins.

Four-wheel drive and all-terrain tyres make it feel built to do damage, and it knocked over eight pins again.

The supercar of remote control cars, and it got a strike in an absolutely mental finish.

A charming Pokéball-themed shaver that gets the balance right, rated a solid B tier.

Looks normal, but has a locking mechanism that turns into a stand for the AirPods and a phone.

A case that makes AirPods look like a phone, built around a hinge within a hinge.

A gun-shaped case where you fold down the grip to charge and reload to use the AirPods.
