Tool Let's Get This Started - Tool Test Tuesday

[Janger]

At US$120, it's not cheap; and it probably has the same issue as I have with my US$13 Fosmon - needs to be re-paired periodically, even if the power hasn't been out:

UPDATE: After making this post, I decided to reach out to the Amazon Seller for the Fosmon unit I purchased in March of 2019 (5 years ago) to ask about a replacement since they have a "Limited Lifetime Warranty:" I sent my message via Amazon at 9:42am, received a reply at 10:18am asking for my contact info so they can send a replacement; I didn't see their message until 10:35am, sent them my info at 10:38am and just received (10:45am) their acknowledge meant that a replacement will be on it's way. Granted it's a one-time replacement, but I'm definitely impressed: although Milwaukee has a 3-year warranty on their switch, and I could buy (US$18) a 2-year HD warranty to take it to 5 years total, after 5 years & one month I'd be out of luck.

I am SomeGuy lol always have been, always will be!

Honestly though, once in a while my videos get picked up and shared by places you'd never expect...Haynes manuals for instance once shared on their socials my garage tour video, such a random thing. Also have worked with channels like Torque Test Channel and FunkFPV who have shared my stuff. It's kind of exciting when it happens

UPDATE: I got the replacement Receiver Monday. It paired quickly and so far is working flawlessly. It does lose pairing if the power is out, but that's to be expected.
