I end up wearing sunglasses at night, while I'm driving. My eyes are sensitive to the light, and the bright ass headlights make it difficult for me to see the road and where I'm going. Glasses with yellow lenses tone down the glare.

[@zerohero4372]

I had one of the big lots pocket hose. It lasted me 2 years, we moved it stayed. I left it out year round. I did drain it after each use though. I was actually impressed with it. I live in the east cost. We can get temperatures in the 100s during summer to as low as single digits during winter with wind chills.

Big lots. I bought a small greenhouse, it lasted 1 year and disintigrated. I bought a cooking pot with 2 steamer inserts in it to cook more than 1 item. I still use that, 15 yrs later. I bought a kitchen island on wheels, still using that 7 yrs later but the butcher block top not holding up well. I bought a cheap butcher block with cheap knives in it for the block, not the knives. Much to my surprise I continued to use the serrated steak knives that came with the block and they hv held up just as well as my $20 each steak knives...over 15 yrs now. I bought a large floor rug 6 yrs ago. Still looks great.

I have found if you put a good car wax on the lenses of lights like these, it protects them, better, from UV and keeps them from yellowing.

Only issue I had with mine was the nozzle end it came with did not last long and if left the nozzle end on when you turn the water on the hose would take off and shot around.

[@DraciaNightcat]

That California cancer thing is one of those funny things. I visited a couple of times and Disneyland had that warning about their park. Starbucks also had a warning in their store. I think businesses do that to protect themselves in response to a state law rather than actually having any significant risk of cancer in their products or locations.

[@joedee7629]

I've used the Big Lots hose here in NJ for a couple of years without incident. I leave it out all summer, drain it after each use, store it in an unheated shed in winter. I think it's worth the price. Bailey is great.

[@MR_R.o.b.o.t.o]

Wouldn't a white hose be better because of heat? I have NEVER had a flex hose survive for morr than a few uses. They are great in theory , but reality says otherwise.....should make the outer part Kevlar.

[@NightOfTheLiving8bit]

I’ve had this same issue with the pocket hose. It’s a massive flaw with it. In fact, I’ve already returned two and will no longer unscrew the top end anymore as it’s about to crap out. Why they thought putting plastic for a thread was a good idea...is beyond me.

[@Waremonger]

What a world we live in where a hose that can withstand household water pressure for 15 minutes is considered a net positive and you're expected to toss the hose after one season. I've been using the same Neverkink hose for over 10 years and it works as well as the day I bought it. It takes me a whole 15 to 30 seconds to roll it up in the hose reel when I'm done with it.

[@chadhendershot2838]

Great review buddy love it and your dog line be famous in video

[@DorethaLynnette]

[@Telcomvic]

I purchased a 25' Pocket hose in the Spring of 2018 and it still looks brand new. We do drain most of the water after each use, but it does hang on the side of the house where it gets sun for about 10-12 hours/day. We do completely drain it and bring it into the house for the winter. We have used it quite a bit with our power washer for several hours/day with no ill effects or blow-outs. All-in-all I'm very happy with it, I like that it's lightweight and easy to store and that it takes a real effort to kink it. Well worth the $20 I paid for it. Edited to add: We live in NE Ohio.

[@bradasstv]

Orange isn't clearance at big lots. All their pricetags look like that... 😉

[@dannylancaster9950]

Good eye. Red is clearance

[@brittanymarie802]

At the biglots I work at the clearance are orange but they would say clearance on the top of the price ticket. The price ticket he was looking at is a regular ticket that we print out if the white tickets were not on the product box. I think it also depends on what colored tickets they send us for our tickets we have to manually make.

[@donaldvincent]

In Florida with sunglasses the important thing is the UV rating. If they do not block UV but your eyes dilate due to the tint, well now you are really harming your eyes because you are letting in more UV than if you wore no glasses at all.

[@M.C.D.Technologies]

We use a retractable hose and we drain after every use and have a bucket with a lid and they seem to last for about a summer sometimes longer doubt it would last even if brought in. These hoses are just not made to last. They are handy and don't take up much space which is why we continue to use them. I just wish they found a way to make them last longer.

[@GuyGuysonHimself]

Never stop doing comparison videos please

[@TheProgGuy]

Those multi colored "polarized" glasses that aren't polarized just look tinted to look that way, as the inside looks the same. Also, usually polarized sunglasses shift colors depending on which angle you look at them from, which didn't seem like the case here for the big lots.

[@sziltner]

Forgot, thanks for another excellent video on product comparison.

[@zekemchenry2368]

Awesome reviews James! By far my favorite YT Channel! Hands down the best reviewer! Keep up the Rad videos 🤘🏻🍻-ZEKE

[@zackphy]

There's an easier way to check for polarization, just hold them in front of any display, tv or phone screen and rotate them. In polarized glasses the screen will turn really black when you're at about 90°. Also when you're pumping gas the numbers look all weird through polarized glasses.

[@ResaO]

Bailey is wonderful! Enjoyed her with the hose. Include her in more videos please.

[@caseyreynolds4886]

[@trevormangus7832]

Not being polarized is a plus for some people polarized glasses make every thing distorted for me. Hate them especially when in a vehicle

[@larrybrown1984]

I have the Wish version of the Egglettes, they work fine. I do a quick spray of Olive Oil spray, the wipe around the inside of the bowl. The eggs come out fine!

[@cyberi4a]

I still say those egg things are only good for putting a whole egg in there to protect it and putting them in a cooler to go camping instead of trying to wedge a whole carton in which would take up more space.

[@heavensdevil2641]

Wellllll, if one saw the glasses while watching a Big Lots commercial, they'd technically be as seen on tv...

[@Dman8derek]

Hey James, I'm not sure if you understand how polarization works, but depending on the angle the manufacturer chooses this might be why the "tester" may work for some and not for others

He probably wouldn't believe us anyway." 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣

[@DigitalIP]

a little secret for old solar lights New rechargeable batteries Polish the solar panel to continue using it, add a clear coat as cleaning off the panel removes the UV protectant (The yellow film) If they still work after a year or so and the internals aren't corroded that's all you need to keep using them.

I find that the problem with solar path lights is that they stop working quite quickly into the night. You only get brightness until like, midnight.

Those hoses are for camping I would think. At least that is what I use them for because they don't take up much room and they are much lighter weight than a regular hose. I have two of them so I can water my horses when I go camping with them. They are easy to keep in the horse trailer and don't take up much room in a bucket.

Lots of things produced in China are sold by lots of different brands in the west, sometimes just with some branding stuck on it. Like Beats headphones were at least originally (don't know if this is still the case) just rebadged $6 headphones you could order with any branding you wanted stuck on the side. It can often pay to investigate a little. Quality differences can be a crapshoot, though. Some companies send people to their Chinese production facilities to directly oversee QA, some don't so there can be significant variations from day to day, based on the age of the molds being used and things like that, etc.

But the little orange nose grips kept falling off. I don't think they made things clearer, however. Just decent cheap sunglasses.
