I know why these are here - they don’t have a micro USB charging slot on the tool side. The first thing I’d do is lose that one product specific recharging cord.
Not worth it… I often wonder how accurate those Amazon comparison prices are… sometimes there is only one item left on Amazon from a private vendor at an inflated price… Things that make you go… hmmmm… and sometimes MEH
I’ve never owned anything equipped with one of those auto glass breakin’ hammers and intend to keep it that way, cause I know myself well enough to know I’m gonna wanna know if it actually works and, well, my neighbors have enough problems as it is; they don’t need a broken window on top of everything else.
I feel this will be far more effective at smashing windows than the yeti cooler, but FLIP 12 VS 5 IN 1 sounds like the next season opening fight on Robot Wars
@Steve7654- I shouldn’t have retired as an Auto Body Shop Owner/Operator. This looks like a JOB SECURITY TOOL!! ALAS, My dream tool. I’ll take 2; one for me & one for my accomplice, ah, what a meant to say is, my helper, yea, that’s the ticket, my helper, my wife!!
@sp3ar My over-the-stove microwave has a “2-stage” fan and light. One of the “stages” is more commonly known as “off”. Any guess as to what the other “stage” is called?
Trying to figure out the meh sales team’s thinking on this one:
Hmm, this is a tool of dubious origin and quality and no reviews which would be the kind of thing one might buy on impulse at Harbor Freight for $7-8… But this thing’s over twice that price and we’re going to sell them on a 2-for Tuesday, – How are we going to pull this off? Well, if we sold them the day after an insanely overpriced cooler, folks might see it as a relative bargain and snap them up!
You don’t have to hide the one you bought for yourself! In fact you can use it to inflate the image of the one you bought for the stepdad or other hapless soul. “Gee, it looked so great when I bought yours that I got one for myself!”
Meh 2 things if I may? First The 50 spinners you sold me 4 of the first 10 the loose ones either have broken lights, bearings or pieces falling off, but that’s why you can sell them for .40 cents, was able to interchange and salvage 2, so 10% damages so far, secondly the items offered tonight is not worth what your asking and is downright common, Most nites I enjoy coming here tonight not so much .But I’ll return tomorrow with high expectations !!
I get that the battery life is 4-10 hrs, presumably based on which lights on it you’re using. (The bullet points lay out the times for the 2W COB and 1W SMD times, and I assume the “-10” comes from using the emergency flashers?)
But what about true standby time. If I just charge it and throw it in the glovebox, will it be ready when my car veers off a bridge from a big gust of wind and this giant Ken Jennings head strapped to the roof? In a true emergency, I don’t have 5-6 hours to charge one of these.
W.W.K.J.D.? Probably just avoid the entire scenario altogether.
Does anyone know anyone who has used either the seatbelt cutter or the window glass breaker? Notably missing is the steering wheel saw for use in the event you cut your seatbelt away but in all the excitement your car keys, which are of course attached to your jeans by a chain, get tangled with the steering wheel. Panic sets in as the car fills with water - but your stuck? How are we supposed to deal with that? And no water detecting emergency beacon? Or cell phone panic button? What about a cloud based digital video recorder so you can record your last words…severely lacking!
I got only half of my order, and meh did not answer my request to send me the other half. Today I will call my credit card company if I don’t hear back and I will close my meh account.
@rlindholm They will take care of you. It can take them several days (possibly more right now due to thanksgiving) to respond. They generally more than make things right even if you don’t ask. For example, I ended up short 2 fidget spinners out of my order of 50 and after combining parts of ones with lights out, didn’t spin, etc. was “short” 5 more. I had asked to be sent 7 and much to my surprise instead they sent me a box of 50 (of which the excess are going to an organization that does christmas for kids in poverty). Give them some time. Meh won’t leave you in the lurch with things like this. While some of their products are crappy now and again (or someone in the warehouse uses new math to count), the people who work for them are not. @thumperchick@woodhouse@dave
@rlindholm I couldn’t find an email from your account! Like @kidsandliz said, we respond to every email we get. It just takes a bit longer, especially during the holidays. How long ago did you write in?
Hi @rlindholm - @Kidsandliz is definitely setting expectations higher than we’re able to meet. We’re meh, from mediocre, after all.
Since @woodhouse searched for your message with your email, I searched for anything on your recent orders. I don’t see anything from you about any order from Oct through now.
Can you please write back with attn: @Thumperchick or @Woodhouse and we’ll look into this for you further.
@Thumperchick Guess I have just been lucky with the outcomes of the very, very few problems I have had. I certainly don’t expect anything beyond the minimum of not losing money over something broken or missing. Twice though you guys have gone beyond the minimum. Back in your very early days a broken but useable beach folding chair was randomly thrown in, the other time my example above. My empty fuko box what was resent was well below an average fuko box, but then again I also could have also ended up with a non-empty original box full of broken things as it was, after all, a fuko - and you were sold out.
I guess the point I was trying to make was that meh stands behind what they sell if something ends up missing or defective. You make it right to the extent possible (eg refund, send a replacement) and sometimes you get unexpectedly lucky like I did with the fidget spinners. Sorry for implying expectations should be higher. Didn’t mean to.

I clicked through every picture and still can’t figure out what it is!
@norman8 Battery operated boyfriend.
@norman8 bulb will light up if you are in emergency which apparently you are not in right now
Joke’s on us

@mcemanuel
Good call! Found it on Amazon for $29.97 each.
Will this get me arrested for carrying criminal tools?
@norman8-No, but the other Laws You Break might!!¡LOL!!
@norman8 Trump is a criminal tool.
I’ve never owned anything equipped with one of those auto glass breakin’ hammers and intend to keep it that way, cause I know myself well enough to know I’m gonna wanna know if it actually works and, well, my neighbors have enough problems as it is; they don’t need a broken window on top of everything else.
@nogoodwithnames Who said it was about need?
$17 each sure seems like a lot of money for a … cheap rechargeable flashlight.
I feel this will be far more effective at smashing windows than the yeti cooler, but FLIP 12 VS 5 IN 1 sounds like the next season opening fight on Robot Wars
That must have been some non-compete clause you signed with Amazon.
These are awesome for breaking the tempered glass in car windows:

Plus you can hide it in your pocket to make your getaway.

@Steve7654 Isn’t easier just to use the posts from your headrest to break the glass?
The cheaper model made a great ‘white elephant’ gift last year. I am not prepared to pay more on a stupid gift for a stupid game.
“Your sleep will be fitful, your dreams haunted.” Ok, you convinced me, I’m not going to buy these. Thanks!
So this is 5 in 1 because of 3 different lights? Dang they really know how to squeeze in the uses… could be 6 in 1 it makes good use at being meh…
@sp3ar
If you think that’s bad, I got a different one from somebody which listed its magnetic base as one of 5 included features…
@sp3ar My over-the-stove microwave has a “2-stage” fan and light. One of the “stages” is more commonly known as “off”. Any guess as to what the other “stage” is called?
@mike808
“Not off”.

@ciabelle Oooo. You just saved me from a horrible mistake.
Thanks!
The math doesn’t work here.
@djslack Simple. At 2W, the hours are shorter.
It’s a Daylight Savings Time-thing.
@G1 so is this a time machine? I may need to consider purchasing…
Meh meh meh
Back to crappy stuff, at slightly less ridiculous prices.
No bluetooth? WTF
Can it be used to break through that solid wall of candy corn? No? No thanks!

@mellowirishgent Maybe you should return with much lower expectations. You’ll be less disappointed this way.
@mellowirishgent “you’re”
Day two of the warehouse staff getting a break …
I thought it was a seven inch, warm milk spewing,vibrating,bumpy butt-plug…Dang
@Bumplepimp You’re 2/5ths correct. Enjoy.

I carry my glass breaker…
(Kentucky CCDW Licensed)
@fastharry I reckon that metal case would work fairly well to break glass. A bit cumbersome to carry around though.
(Kansas CC Licensed)
@medz Carry ON!
I was kinda hoping they’d sell more candy corn today
$34 (plus shipping!) for two $5 flashlights? What happened to you Meh? What happened?
@gdibig $34 for two seat belt cutting glass breakers. The flashlights are free.
Does anyone know anyone who has used either the seatbelt cutter or the window glass breaker? Notably missing is the steering wheel saw for use in the event you cut your seatbelt away but in all the excitement your car keys, which are of course attached to your jeans by a chain, get tangled with the steering wheel.

Even MacGyver rates these a NO-BUY…

In case you’re wondering what this thing actually is, or you just want to see someone smash some glass, here’s a video:
I can vouch for lights with magnets if you’re fixing, say, a washing machine. They’re really handy. I love these things:

Of course they were a cheaper. A lot cheaper.
