Pros: It may seem trivial to many, but this actually is a very useful addition to the overall looks of my car. I like my car and like it to look as sharp as possible. All 4 valve caps were different, either plastic or metal. Now I have 4 neat looking caps on them, which do not stand out particularly, because otherwise they may get stolen... Inside thread is good and black paint seems good enough. Just look at the pics! Cons: I can't think of any, though I hope the paint doesn't easily fade as I read somewhere and the metal doesn't stick to the valve. To prevent this from happening I added a tad of vaseline in the threads. Bottom line: You like your car, you think it could look sharper? get these!

Pros: The batteries come in a neat box and seem to be really high capacity (not sure it's really 2500 mAh). I've had one in a flashlight in my car for about half a year and it still has its capacity. Charging goes well in the charger I also ordered from DX: SKU 33912. No heating or anything. The batteries look like giant penlites with higher voltage (see picture). Cons: None that I can think of, except it could be cheaper and actually they did get cheaper now than when I bought them. Bottom line: D'you need lasting 18650 batteries with a great capacity? Get these!

Pros: Good-looking, nice colour scheme. Real leather too. It has sufficient card slots to fit all my credit cards, driver's license, etc. Has all the options I like, incl. a secret bill compartment with zipper. Cons: Stands out (expands) when almost all card slots are filled (see pics), because the cards are almost all at the same spot. I think that's a design flaw. However, this might improve by time as the wallet gets a little looser. Also, the zipper on the coin pocket is very small and not easy to access, because a cards sticks in front of it...

Pros: Very easy to install: just screw in & it works! The bulb is rather heavy and feels really solidly built. It gives beautiful colours, and a nice spectrum of white selectable, from cold, hard white to very warm white. The app I use, Yeelight, gives a plethora of possibilities, from colour & intensity change to setting up timers for on/off. Also (remote) switching on/off from anywhere, easy colour settings and pre-configured scenes, including glowy and colour-changing options, even responding to music! The sky is the limit. In the pictures you can see my setup in a semi-transparent Ikea lamp. Cons: One possible con I can think of is you need a Xiaomi account to get the app to work. Who knows which data they can collect and what they do with it... And of course the bulb needs to be connected to WiFi to function. Not sure how things work when Internet is down.

Pros: This mouse arrived in a nice box with all the accessories and a Chinese only mini-manual. This latter is not needed, as it's really plug-and-play! The more anatomical design provides a better ergonomic grip, helping me reduce RSI-like wrist pains. I does take a bit of getting used to, but I was amazed that it was easy enough to use instantly, although a tad uncoordinated. All in all it took only about a day to get fully accustomed and I had considerably less wrist issues as a result. I use it at work, where I deal with people who have similar issues and I think this Vertical Mouse sets a perfect example of both ergonomic design and a quality product! For such a quality product the price is really good! The laser is really precise and insensitive to mixed surfaces, so it can be used everywhere! I have medium to large sized hands and I have no issues whatsoever with the button placement. I was worried that I would press the buttons at the thumb accidentally, but no worries there! Cons: The only real con I have is that the DPI-setting gets reset to medium after a computer reboot, while my preference is high. The wire of the mouse is somewhat sturdy, which makes it initially a bit harder to maneuver, but this settles after a while. Also, for other people a con might be that they are unable to use your mouse for a sec to point something out... This only makes me laugh! Bottom line: Do you work at a desk with your mouse for long times on end? This might very well be the solution for you to relieve wrist strains! Might get people laughing at you as the design is unconventional to look at (people had some weird associations at my work...), but it definitely feels right in the hand!

Pros:
I had no clock in my car and thought it should have one, so I bought this thingy. It really looks nice in my car and I like that you can switch the backlight from orange to green. I personally prefer the orange, which is softer on the eyes. I like that the backlight goes on only when the unit is powered, but the readings are still visible when not-powered by the car's batteries. The screen reading kind of gets inverted for this. Also, the amount of info you get is cool: time, temperature and a car battery meter. However, ... Cons:
... too bad, both time and temperature have an undesirable behaviour. Temperature response is soooo slow: it takes about 5 minutes for a 1 degree change, both on the outside and inside sensor. So, when I'm driving for about an hour the display finally reads 20 degrees C. This makes it rather useless. And then the time: it's inaccurate, because it's way too fast! 1 minute gets added every week! This is no clock to rely on to be ON TIME. Bottom line:
Want a good-looking addition to your car's cockpit? This is for you, but don't fret about accuracy of the data, because for that it's close to useless! i wouldn't buy it again...

Pros: Versatile and compact charger, as it can be used both at home and in the car; I like that! As I'm on the road (or rather off-road) a lot I need my 18650 batteries charged at all times, so my flashlight and other equipment doesn't run out of juice. This charger is just perfect. I bought some TrustFire batteries, SKU 19770, to go with it, which work fine. Each battery is chargeable individually (with red/green LED indicators). As I live in Holland all I needed for it to work at home was a power plug converter (I use SKU 3529 quite a lot on imported stuff) and it works! Cons: None that I can think of. I only wish the 18650 batteries were available in my country, they are so much better than AA or AAA which are the standard here. Bottom line: Just what I needed!

Pros: Where to start? It's a small flashlight, has a great brightness (not sure it's really 900lm) and it has a real quality look, making it seem sturdy enough to survive falls and other rough handling, like in water. I really haven't tried this though, but I feel confident it will last me a long time. It is small enough to fit in a pocket or in any kind of bag. Also, the fact that it accepts AAA-batteries (with an adapter) and the brilliant 18650-type rechargeable batteries is really useful. Both power sources give a similar bright beam. I actually just discovered the power of the 18650 rechargeables (I ordered SKU 19770 to go with this one), but I'm certainly going to find more use for these! The focus system works very well, it enables me to have a really wide beam and see my surroundings or watch hundreds of meters in the distance when zooming out. In this latter mode the beam is square instead of round, but this is no problem. Cons: The only thing I can nitpick about is the 5 modes, which I don't really use or want. I'm also not quite sure how they work, as when I press on, then off, wait a second and then again press on it mostly seems to be in the same mode, but not always. Whilst, when I quickly press the on/off button it seems to cycle through the various modes... Bottom line: Want a small, bright, versatile flashlight? Certainly give this one a try!!

... the screen of my Mi Band 2 is somewhat curved (not sure it's always the case), so at the lower edges I couldn't get the film to fully stick. This leaves the Mi Band 2 with a somewhat less nice front. Bottom line:

Pros: Nice white & bright light from these strips. I used them to light the boot of my 4WD, which is now flooded with light when I open the door. Exactly what I need! Look at the pictures. Both strips come packaged together in a anti-static bag. In total there are many LEDs on each strip, making it 1 LED per cm, which gives a more or less evenly distributed light. Cons: It wasn't in the description, so not a real con, but there is no self-adhesive strip on the back of theses strips, so you'll have to add this yourself (no problem for me). Other thoughts: Also the size of the red & black wires wasn't listed, which is actually 20 cm.
