Why is it when I need a tool THAT is the one time I cannot find it?

Been wondering for awhile…..“Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?”

I haven’t been promoting GearBest.com recently because….well….just because. I haven’t ordered anything from them in a little while so not much to say. They are still a great source for certain items to save some money if willing to wait on the shipping. For those not aware GearBest.com primarily ships products directly from China. Don’t want to buy Chinese products? No problem. There are many products that cannot be purchased as American-made. So rather than buy a 10,000 mAh backup charger from Wal-Mart I order direct from GearBest and save.

I actually just ordered a 10,000 mAh mobile battery bank. I have several of these in packs, cars, etc. My kids love ’em.

I helped my youngest with a science fair project a few years ago and we tested several brands of batteries. I discovered that the Member’s Mark battery lasted longer than all the others. Most expensive doesn’t mean the best.

So many projects…..so little time.

    I bought 2 of the Manker flashlights at Christmas from Gear Best. One for me, and one for my grandson. Both seemed to work fine. I put mine away for awhile. When I git it out again, it would only turn off and on. I contacted Gear Best. They said I had had it too long for a refund, but would exchange it. Cost to mail it back to them was $12, so not an option.They refunded 1/2 of purchase price ($34 = $17). So, next time I was at my grandson’s, I tried his. Same problem. No refund. Both flashlights had been used less than one minute total.Very disappointed as they were not inexpensive. Will not do business with them again.
    P.S. The batteries required for the flashlights were also quite expensive.
