Minzos 4-In-1 TurboPen for Tablet & SmartPhone Review

I love love love companies with new and innovative products that put the needs of it's customers into every bit of thought that goes into making their products. I was selected to review the Minzos 4-in-1 Turbo pen to be used with tablets and smart phones free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to receive this, and luckily it arrived super fast.





The Minzos 4-in-1 Turbo Pen has everything in 1 writing tool that you will need.

1. The LED flashlight, which is a whole lot brighter than you would image something as small as pen would have. I was able to light up my bathroom pretty brightly, this will come in handy during our frequent power outages, for sure.

One of the walls/ceiling in my bathroom, that's pretty bright.

2. The second button located next to the first button for the flashlight, activates your very bright red laser light, that precisely points out anything near or far. This is perfect for presentations, teaching, or preaching. And if you're bored, this could keep your pets busy.

3. The lid on the pen contains a smooth rubber stylus that I was able to work with ease, on my Samsung Galaxy S5 screen, my iPad, my Galaxy Tab, and an extra Iphone I have laying around. There was no sticking, no scratching, and the tip was never pushed in, like some of the cheap styluses out there that tend to get stuck when you use them.

4. The pen... the pen is amazing. The smooth black ink glides across your paper, just as a top of the line pen would. There isn't much one can say about a pen, other than praising if possible it's ability to write well, which this one does. I love it, I really really do. 



This 4-in-1 pen is absolutely handy, it's great for both school/college aged kids, as well adults working any type of job. This pen comes pre-loaded with batteries, so it's good to go right out of the package. One minor thing to note, though is the cap does not stick to the back end of the pen, so be sure not to lose it, because you'll end up losing your stylus. Just keep it secure somewhere, when you're using your pen. 

That's it though, nothing negative to report on this pen, it's lightweight, and very sleek looking. Definitely looks good for any professional. The Minzo pen retails for $13.97 on their website, which I will link down below, as well as on Amazon.com. Please check it out. The Amazon Ratings have it at 4 stars, but I believe it deserves 5.

Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool Pocket Knife Review

This has been in my possession, no more than a week, and I can not count how many times I've reached for it to help me out with something. This is THAT product, I never knew I needed, but have always wanted. Does that make sense? This product was sent to me for review purposes, free of charge, and let me tell you, that it's been one of the best little blessings I now proudly own.





The Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-Tool Pocket Knife, is heavy duty, well constructed, and extremely strong. You will immediately notice the weight it has to it. This however, does not affect the performance of the muti-tool. Opening up each of the tools is tricky at first, but they lightly loosen just enough for your to open them up easily after a few uses.

The knife features two LED lights on both ends of the knife that light up brightly, not enough to project at a distance, but enough to shine on to a small task you are performing. The knife is a large 3 inch stainless steal self-locking blade, that cuts through the thickest of materials. My husband was able to cut a thick plastic cup for me.






The multi-tool also has spring-loaded pliers, that are just as strong as the best pliers in my hubby's tool chest, just as the Philips and the flat head screw drivers on the multi-tool are. Along with all these awesome tools, are wire strippers, a can opener, and a set of scissors, that are sharp enough to cut through a lot things.

Honestly, everything on this multi-tool works just as well, as the name brand products my hubsand owns. It has a sleek, and modern design, with rubber grips that make holding on to this tool very easy. One minor draw back is the difficulty I had pulling out can opener/screw driver. I know that after a bit of use it'll get easier to pull it out, but everything else worked like a charm. It also comes with a very sturdy carrying case, you can slide into your belt to carry it around. Hunting, Camping, Fishing, this thing is for you.





If you're in the market for an all in one tool, for yourself, or your spouse, (Valentine's Day is right around the corner) You should definitely consider this one. It retails on Amazon for $39.95, and ships free with Amazon Prime. This company seriously put a lot of thought into this item to create a compact all in one tool. There is not need to carry around a lot of items when you can have it all in one. Click the link below to read the reviews on this item. You will not be dissapointed.

3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight with Magnetized Base Review

You should really check my nightstands. I'm a flashlight hoarder. My husband who works out of town overnight, thinks it's pretty funny that I can not be without my flashlights. I have a small one in my purse, a key chain, a couple in my truck, and of course the ones in my nightstand. I kid you not, there are about 10 in my house.



I was selected to review the AYL 3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight, and was super excited about it. I wanted to compare it to the ones I have in my home, including the ones that are a bit pricier than your average flashlight. I wasn't expecting much from it. I mean, the concept seemed cool, it looked like a nice little gadget, but I wasn't expecting it to be as neat as it turned out to be.

I put in 3 Triple A Duracell batteries (not included) as soon as I opened up the package. With one press of the button the Cree light turned on. It was very bright, and the beam extended very far. The second click of the button activated the 18 LED lights, that cast a very wide bright light. In the dark, it lit up my entire living room, which was absolutely neat. By pressing the button a third time, the 11 Red LED lights are turned on, which can be used in emergency situations.

The base of the flashlight, where you twist to insert the batteries, is a magnet. This magnet is quite strong, as it held the flashlight in a horizontal position without it sliding and falling. The flashlight is lightweight, but it's made of a military-grade metal, that is designed to be durable, and versatile.

This flashlight quickly because my favorite. I think the company definitely thought of everything when constructing this flashlight. The ability to stick the it on a metal surface while you work under the 18 LED lights, is pretty cutting edge. Such a simple idea, that I've never seen on any other products.

This flashlight retails for only $19.99 on Amazon.com and ships free with Amazon Prime. The price is definitely worth it, and I highly recommend this product to anyone, and everyone. It can be used for scaredy-cats like me who hate staying home alone, for folks in the emergency field, for construction workers, oil field workers, truck drivers, ANYONE. I'm torn between leaving this in my truck, or by my bedside. I guess this means, I need a second one.

Check out their product page on Amazon.com, I'll have the link down below. It's a 5 star product, which deserves all the positive reviews it has. I'm in love with this flashlight, and think you would be too.
