 Everyone shiver one thousand here. I've got She's behind the camera making meatballs. Well, actually I made them. She's making them into the balls so Today We're going to be Reviewing this by our 20 volt What is that hypermax lithium? This is a Bluetooth radio This is a Bluetooth radio from our so Let's open this up. Let's check it out. This is my Christmas present for monkey, but there's a cute little story about that So stick around. Let's get into this. Hey guys. So like I said, this is what we are going to be reviewing This is from Harbor Freight It was what was it $39? right It was $39 Bluetooth streaming connectivity up to 40 feet away up to 30 hours of continuous playing USB charging port for mobile devices and compact design with AM FM antennas and aux port auxiliary port so Tool only battery and charger sold separately. No one I brought this out because this is the battery We're going to be using about this about four years ago I will be doing a review or You know follow up on some videos I have reviewed in the past and what I think about them and how they're doing This one's still doing fine This is like what $59 now. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, and when we bought it was 44 bucks Yeah, and it came with the bat with the batter and charger now bowler is not selling anything with the batteries and charger So be aware of that But the story is that we went to well Christmas. She had bought me a drill Well, we might have made a mistake. Yeah, cuz I don't I have no idea That's the new one one of the new ones rush the other one though. It's three speed which already had one so Well, I've got several Actually, so she was like well, we we can go back in and we'll take it back and you can get something different So that's what we did today. So that's cute little story. She bought me a drill From Bauer. I don't have a bowler drill, but I do have cordless drills. So we went today and this was 49 or the drill was $49 and plus tax. It was like 32 bucks. So this was 39 and I got these things. These are cool So I needed some long shank Bits some drivers. So I got these these were eight dollars. So still got two dollars back Okay, so let's go ahead and open this up, but that's why I got to do out here Let's check it out. We'll see how well it it Compare or compares see how well it pairs with my phone All right, so Let's open this up here They got a cool little light there too. I May I may still get one of them lights. Yeah There's the unit And here's the little booklet Yeah, and they're really pushing them because as soon as we walked in with that drill I'ma said you guys have a battery and charger for that Well, we're exchanging this and then when I brought this up there You have a battery and charger for that at least, you know that way you'll know well, I'm gonna need one That's the stupidest thing to sell something like this without a battery and charger It does because the batteries and chargers are as much as the damn tool You just bought so somebody didn't know that what was talking about like on Christmas Was if somebody didn't know that what she knew, you know already had that's why she got me something Bower because she knew I had a battery and charger, but if let's say, you know you buy Grandpa with present, you know for father's day or his birthday or Christmas, you know You buy him a nice drill. Now. He's like gee. Thanks. Now. I gotta go spend that much money On my present Before I can even use my present, you know They don't know Well, I didn't know until I seen that she was like, well, that's where they are now But yeah, you know, it's just And it's in little letters too right there. It's easy to overlook at you're looking at this stuff Love a blow. Okay. Cool. It says tool only and a little tiny letters. That's about an inch and an eighth long And the height is not I mean, you know, so all right because that we got a strap on the back So that's pretty cool. Hang it off stuff and We have our oxport Right there and we have our USB port right there And on the front We have our volume control our power or mode Presets Bluetooth play pause and this is a search like forward and backward So and this is kind of cute There's the little antenna All right, so Said I don't even know my phone's charged. Okay. Well, this is gonna be a good one because my phone is dead So we'll plug it in here. So we're gonna take our battery out of our impact driver And we're just gonna put this in here to see what I like about What I like about this battery is it's got a gauge which is Three bars I've charged this thing four times in four years approximately, but when you stick it in here You won't be able to push that You know what I mean There's the back of the battery and that's on the front of the battery. So you won't be able to push it to see So that they could have designed that a little bit better. I do like bower stuff. Damn. Come on, you know That's like buying a new car and then going out and getting in it to drive home and it not starting And you go in and tell the salesman hey that car won't start. Well, no, you need the battery You know, yeah, you gotta buy a battery I think that's a big mistake on their part for doing that Especially when everything you bought used to have the battery and charger with They will feel it because people won't they'll go and buy something else that has the battery included instead Yeah, because I you know, I mean I Wouldn't I wouldn't have went about like I would have never bought this one if it didn't have a battery and charger No, I would have bought something else Hercules. Whatever, you know, yeah, okay, so there's this Now it's gonna Sitter power button. Oh, it's red in for red See that look It's cool not pretty guys don't have pretty things Okay, so let's turn this volume down a little bit That was halfway. All right, we got it on two All right. Now, let's plug. I'm gonna use your charger since it's right here. All right Yeah, I'll Give us a good chance to check the charging thing out I really didn't have any idea that phone was dead because I've been using my up my old phone But it don't have as much music on it Okay, there plugs in there Now let's plug this into the phone Let's see if it charges. Oh, yeah, I felt it good. There it is. It's charging. It's not there it is I wasn't trying to see zero percent All right, so let's give this a couple minutes. Oh 1% Wow Well, it seems like it so I'm gonna let this charge for a minute and we'll see you know Yep, 1% let's let it charge up Let's see what time is it right now look set a timer Set your kitchen timer Alexa set timer for me. Oh wait. I know how long Set stopwatch Alexa set a stopwatch Never mind No, because it's not going to tell me how long Where is my phone? I have a It's where the clock is. I have a watch thing on there I Lock on there Okay, I'm gonna set stopwatch here and we're gonna hit start Okay, so now we're gonna see See how long it takes to bring this up to say 20% and I'll be back with you. Okay, everyone. We are back This has a little battery gauge on it Right there. Also what I forgot to mention, but first let's show you this 23% and It's been I'll just stop that 17 minutes 18 minutes I checked it. It was 16. It was it. It was at 16% on 11 minutes Also on the back of this this does have to be on for your device to be whatever device Um, let me see No, this one don't Never mind It's the light The light you can plug in too. All right. Yeah, but okay. Let's turn this on Okay, now We're gonna power up our phone. I don't need this anymore Hate this phone There'll be another update on this about the review I did on this phone I'm up. So Yes, pretty cool So I'll go ahead and unplug this So, you know, there's no shenanigans. Let's see how quick it'll take Take this Bauer Bluetooth radio To pair But there is Yeah, it looks like there's a something flashing there for the Bluetooth But I was gonna get the light and monkey was like I was like, oh, look at this. This is a radio. She's like, oh You could use that I said, but I got the stereo in the garage and she goes Yeah, but when you're out back working on the hut, you can use this when we're on the boat You can use this when we go camping. You can you all right. I'll get this Because that light was bad ass This has got some weight to it How many lumens was there was a lot of lumens? So All right, let's try to pair this thing we go to settings No, I don't want to go to settings I Want to drag down from the top Bluetooth is on what was on all right pair new device Versa three. That's my watch There it is Bauer. He came up Okay, so we're gonna hit Bauer and It's pairing right now allow access to your contacts and call history. I don't know why it's got to do that It's music, but and it's active. We are paired Let's see what this says Yep, it's paired. It's not blinking anymore. So it is paired All right, so Let's go to go into my music Where's my music? because I got a you know the copyright thing going into Audify here and See what we got here I gotta go to Here we go when you turn it up So it's easy to pair which that's good one more here Okay, so that works Doesn't have the best sound doesn't sound as good as that black speaker. I got that lights up No, but the batteries crap in it. Yeah. Yeah I'm glad we didn't pay full price for that thing because that thing sounds real good, you know Yeah, so all right. Well, there it is. That's the Bauer Bluetooth radio. Well, let's check the radio here We'll put the antenna. We'll go to mode That's auxiliary That's FM to find a station here. It's kind of slow, but we are in a concrete house. So Victim of a slip and fall it takes one phone call to take back control of your life and a jar of Levine will be fine outside Call me mark. Yeah for $39 747-3733 There's am and there's the truth again and it Just paired Okay, yeah, it was 3999 so it's 40 bucks. I think it's a little high Considering you don't get the battery in charger. I think it's a little high But it's fine I mean that speakers tiny, you know, that's probably Two and a half inch speaker if that, you know, that's inside of here. You can see the ring around in there I know it doesn't but you can see my hand. So Not bad Wish I had a little light on it Yeah But if anything, I mean To be able to charge your stuff when you're out when we're camping or whatever She has a habit of letting her batteries and camera run down or bringing dead batteries with her She can charge her camera and her little She's got a little monitor wristwatch monitor thing and she can charge it with that Like I said, it does have an aux port there I won't try it out because well, I don't have an aux cable handy But I'm sure it'll be fine Shut that off. Shut this off. Just one button, but you got presets you can set your your video to Let's fix it up that fast. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty quick Yeah, so the main thing is being able to have this You know Plug it in and it's charging So that's cool. Yeah charge this is charging as fast as my fast charger for my phone Right Right, okay, so there you go. That is the Bauer Bluetooth Thing The Bluetooth radio music Charging port yeah, it's 40 bucks. I mean I wouldn't I Don't know if I'd buy it just for the the radio For but seeing as how it's got a charger. Yeah You know what you think monk? What's your numbers? The same as always a three Good question, I don't know It doesn't really say if it's waterproof Or water resistant Yeah, it doesn't say I kind of looked over this manual and I didn't see anywhere on it But good point. Yeah, because if it doesn't it would be nice if it was You get on the boat and you know it starts raining You know or if you've been working in the backyard, I mean, yeah But you might forget or yeah, it doesn't say so probably not But I mean You know It's the same as a camera if I'm using my camera starts raining. I make sure it's dry Yeah for 40 bucks it should come with a battery and charger Is Yeah, I think just for this I think 30s plenty Because you know, you know, you know, you're not you're not gonna carry this just to keep your phone charged You know, they've got battery banks this big that you can stick in your pocket. Yeah, you know for 1520 bucks And you know for Yeah, I think 30 would be plenty for us. I would you recommend it? For 40 bucks Not the way it is now. No, I wouldn't you know, well, I'm not gonna recommend any power products without the battery and charge I just ain't gonna do that. No, I think it's stupid. I mean you really got a good deal on your Yeah, like you said this was 44 bucks But I mean if that's the case You can buy drills impact drivers impact guns at yard sales and flea markets Without batteries, but the reason why you see them all there a big box of stuff because people won't buy them because they got to go spend for a battery and charger Which is as much as this, you know But you know what let me look up and see what a battery and charger for this thing costs. Okay, so Here's about 20 volt 3.0 amp hour, which the one that comes with this is one and a half amp hour 39.99 just for the battery Just for the battery right there Okay, so I mean let's scroll up here a little bit a little bit more Bauer 20 volt hypermax lithium 3.0 amp hour, which is double this okay on Amazon 62.99 just a battery 62.99 This thing was 40 bucks You see what I'm saying So to buy a battery for that without a charger It's 40 bucks So if you buy this and a battery It's 80 bucks. You still got to buy the charger. Let's see What the chargers run shall we Okay, $24 23.99 right there the first one So, you know, that's 80 you're looking at a hundred bucks No, I would know I would not recommend it. Yeah, a lot of people go. Well, you know But the battery fits other tools. Yeah, but who wants to have just one battery? Like, you know because you know, I'd want to have at least two batteries You know what I mean? Yeah, because who wants to keep switching batteries from this You're listening to your music and then all I gotta pull the battery out of that to use this Well, if you're working you want to hear music. That's what you got to have two batteries So now if you don't have a battery and charger, you got to buy a battery and charger just for one thing So if you buy this now, you got to buy two batteries So you can listen music and do your work No, the battery The battery and radio 80 bucks Without the charger then you guys spend another 23 So that's a hundred and three dollars. Well 24 dollars. It's a hundred and four dollars Without tax, that's a hundred and four dollars to have that radio. It might as well buy the wall Yeah, you might as well. I think they're in they're making a big huge mistake from what they're doing Yeah, because hang on like hold that thought I gotta make room on my car. Hang on guys. Okay. We're back now What would you say a month? I think they're making a big huge mistake I mean the reason why people are buying these is because first the battery came with the tool and That you could interchange them. That was really nice, too But it was also they were cheaper. They were a lot cheaper than going to Lowe's or Home Depot Yeah, right, right. Yeah, we get that but now they're putting the prices way up there Well, they're getting greedy. Yeah, where'd I see that? Okay, so Harbor Freight right here this this exact thing that I bought That we bought for 44 bucks. I granted it's four years ago. But come on guys For 44 bucks. It's now 70 dollars 6999 you get a battery You get this And you get a little bag which nobody uses the name bag. I'm using a bag for something else but okay 70 bucks you still got to buy the charger. So that's what 94 dollars that you would have just for this thing That I bought four years ago from 44 dollars With the battery charger and bag Yeah, you know now you're looking at 94 100 bucks. That's ridiculous You know, I mean, you know, and well same as the Hercules the blue stuff It's the same exact stuff I showed her today the same exact thing. It's $10 more But it's the same company. It's just a different color and a different brand see I could I could buy this right here Yeah, a bunch of these I could buy a bunch of these instead of it saying bower I could put sb 1000 on it shape every 1000 And put my own price on it Because it's the same thing Hercules is the same exact stuff Your phone's ringing Hercules is the same thing as this and and I showed her Um, they had these little tiny blowers And You know again, no battery. You have to have a battery But the the Hercules blower was the same as the bower blower exact same thing The molding everything was identical except for the color and the name So there you go. That's that's what they do like I said, I you know Because you buy this from a manufacturer and you put your own brand on it That's what you do with these so You know, if you see one of these that's a Hercules It's probably going to be the same exact thing you tear it down All the components and everything in it's exactly the same the colors different and the brand name's different It'll say Hercules and they'll be blue instead of red and sand bower So, uh, I don't recommend it. No, um As far as bower goes, I don't recommend any bower I mean any any time you have to pay separate You know, you buy a tool and you have to pay separate For the battery and charger To me, it's not worth it Like I said, you can buy these all day long at flea markets for five bucks a piece But people don't like you can buy DeWalt's You know hammer drills whatever at flea markets and stuff for five ten bucks a piece But then, you know, if you don't have a set of that stuff at home for with the charger and batteries You go buy it. I mean like DeWalt that's going to even be more expensive for them batteries and charger That's why you see a box full of these things wherever you go There's always at least one of these sitting on a table, which usually a DeWalt and name brand Oh, yeah, it looks like brand new but That's why because the you know, they didn't get used much the battery just finally, you know got old Stopped working You know And now you're stuck with with that. I got three DeWalt drills in there right now. I think one or two. I'm the hammer drill but The batteries are gone. They're not gone. I still have them, but they're junk the batteries, you know They don't charge no more. I tried to bring them back I'll try it again sometime maybe on a video to bring them back around But what happens is there's a bunch of little batteries inside them packs And They'll go dead and when one or two of them go dead, you're pretty much screwed Sometimes they have like the smart chargers won't charge if the battery gets down to a certain level You know the smart charger won't let it charge so you can like Charge them another way with something else like with another battery run them direct together and bring that charge up to where The charger will acknowledge it But I mean no, I wouldn't recommend any power product. It does not come with you know what I mean With a battery charger. I'm just not going to recommend it. No I mean as far as the product. I mean it didn't sound that great. It was loud Yeah, it didn't sound that great. Yeah, it was fine. But like I said the charger, it's cool I give us a three but As far as um, like recommended now, I give it two thumbs down because I think it's ridiculous that you got a pexter for all that stuff Yeah, like I said, you go buy a new car even a used car go buy a used car go out and drive it off a lot It won't start. Oh, well, you got a pexter for a battery. That's another hundred bucks Screw that You know, I mean Doesn't make sense You know, that's like buying a new coffee pot. You get a home. Where's the cord? We got a pexter flat. Well, you want to use it you want to pay for Once I feel like I'm being ripped off by a product and this is ripple I I don't buy it because you know, who's going to buy this To have for an emergency Look at this thing. It's tiny. Yeah, it's It's a nice little size. It's a handy little size, but You can buy no you can buy waterproof Battery banks about this size right here. You can stick in your pocket For 15 20 bucks for a good one. Yeah, you can buy the cheap ones for five and ten dollars You know give you enough charge on your phone for an emergency No, we got it now But the light, you know, don't come with the battery The light none of their products come with the battery and charger anymore So not only do you got to buy battery you got to buy a battery and charger Sometimes over an ideal you can get them together But at least the light In the back of you can plug an extension cord into it. I didn't say that I just think Yeah, I just don't think this is this is worth it just to have that little charger there No, I just don't I don't think it's worth it. No Yeah, so I give this thing itself a three because it does work good But the sound quality, I mean you get it outside. You're just gonna crank it up anyway. You just want something to listen to Still it's it's okay It's a three Yeah, you know, it's a radio I mean, you know, you can buy you can buy them little tiny speakers That's big around that'll jam more than this if you want to listen music outside Um, but I I don't know I just I give this a three and I Just give the whole product anymore two thumbs down Yeah This you know, yeah, it was a two thumbs up five out of five stars, but The company is what's making these things bad You know, like I wouldn't recommend you go buy this Because it doesn't come with battery and charger anymore I don't I can't recommend bowler. I was shocked on how long you used it and how how well it has done and You know, it was great Whatever manufacturer whatever manufacturer is that bowler uses for this thing. Yeah. Yeah, they get it two thumbs out five out of five star Yeah, it's amazing. But as far as bowler brand. I can't know I'm not going to recommend them anymore because because of that reason everything said on it to only to only And like I said when we walked in she seen us have that Have that drill on her hand that was first thing she said Yeah, do you have a battery and charger for that already? So I mean what's pushing that having to buy the extra stuff because people got used to having them together is probably Yeah, I don't think it's just a warning. I think it's you know now spend more money. Yeah I screw that It gets two thumbs down product or this thing itself gets a three star Yeah Because it's not special about it Yeah, maybe we'll we will take it back and get the light Yeah, she's going. Yeah, we'll try at least that you can plug in Right, you know like if your battery goes dead You know you can charge your battery but plug your light in and still keep working. Yeah, you know We'll try that next who knows Thanks for watching guys monkey anything No, I think I said Yeah, me too The midland legend excuse me. I'm gone for now. I hope your ears going great. We'll see you in the next one. Bye. Bye guys. Take care
