Refresh Windshield Wiper Blade-20" and 21" (Pack of 1)




My car, a PT Cruiser, is one of those weird ones that can take two different sizes of windshield wiper at the same time - a 20 inch and a 21 inch wiper.

Installation was very easy. In less than 5 minutes I installed both blades.

This windshield wiper is different than the ones I took off. The new wipers don't have a visible metal superstructure that holds the wiper blades in place. Instead, the blades themselves have a natural bend that molds itself to the windshield when they are lowered into place.

How do they work? Excellent. I've had mine on my car for about 5 months and they've seen snow, ice, rain, heat and they are fantastic. I am absolutely pleased with them.

These wipers only work on "J hook" wiper arms. Please use Amazon's search feature to determine what will work on your vehicle.

I rate these wipers 5 stars out of 5. 


Note: I received a free set of wipers in exchange for an honest review.

At the time of this review these wipers cost $11.00 and $12.60. Click here to check for current pricing: 20 inch and 21 inch.

Brightech™ - SPIDER - Car Jump Starter and Battery Charger for Mobile Devices with Carrying Case

 

This battery charger has got a lot of things going for it. It can jump start your car battery and your phone and it is also a flashlight. 

I have been carrying this jump starter around for more than four months but I have not had need to jump start my car (and that's a good thing!). But, I can tell you that it held its charge the entire time even though it sat in the car and endured a range of temperatures in excess of 100 degrees during those 4 months. 

The set comes with its own cables, adapters so that you can charge an android device, an older iPhone or a newer iPhone. The built-in flashlight has two settings - regular and blinking. The device can be charged from a wall plug or from you car and the whole thing goes in a little cloth bag.

Hopefully, I will never need to try out this jump starter, but if I do I will certainly be glad that I am carrying this around.

Note: I was sent the SPIDER jump starter at no charge so that I could evaluate it for review purposes. My bottom line: having this in my car is much better than not having it.

As of the time of this review this jump starter cost $79.99 on Amazon.com. Check here for current pricing:
