As a mechanic with 2 herniated discs, the versatire hanger definitely would bring the most benefit to my life. I hope it goes into production in the future, or ill just make my own lol
That autowit box is actually a lot cooler than a normal battery box. It's a capacitor so it charges from your mostly dead battery then uses that power to give you a jump start.
Autowit only works if there is charge in the battery and it isn't at it's end of life. A regular lithium jump start box will jump start larger engines much easier. Project Farm reviewed it and it couldn't handle the tractor engine while similarly priced lithium ones would.
@@MrMega200 yeah, not for every circumstance. But I'd say it is amazing for most circumstances people face. Normal car battery that's just weak/old or 'ran the radio too long' kind of situations. Lithium batteries have to be charged ahead of time and they don't like to be stored at full charge since it reduces their lifespan. They don't like being stored in super hot or cold places, which is exactly what a car is most of the time plus they can occasionally catch fire for no reason. A lot of advantages of this kind of capacitor pack since it avoids all of that.
Well given the fact that some dickhole broke into my shitty as all hell '03 corsa when it was clearly as worthless as the content of the backseat (That was visibly empty of course), Imma go out on a limb and say that your window is never safe from crackheads
Making it known to potential burglars that u have a safe will most likely attract more attention (as u have something worth protecting in a safe). There’s not a great way to deter a burglar breaking in in the first place, but at least you’d only be out a window and not ur valuables.
@@jkizzle9953 True that. I guess if it looked like a booster seat it would be more inconspicuous, but the thought of the legality or safety regulations involved give me a headache
I live in Atlanta the probability of your window getting smashed is: probable. So if you have valuables in there, 30 seconds is more than enough for them to get tired/move on
Uncle Bumblefuck (AvE) did a couple videos on the Makita cooler that's basically a cooler that runs on power-tool batteries. It also has a heat option if you want to keep things warm.
To be fair, I don't think there was anything particularly wrong with the product for the people that did end up receiving one. It was gimmicky, sure, but the real issue was on the business end.
people who bought it from Amazon had their orders filled. If you didn't know about the campaign, you might not know that almost none of those orders were filled
Boosted Safe apparently now offers an actual "booster seat disguise" to cover the safe in the backseat. Now it just looks like a children's car seat. Pretty awesome!
@@mike10240Nah, they don't want to mess with car seats. They take too long to remove for too little money. They're all about speed and volume. They'll rather hit the next 10 cars thay have lose items, than mess around with one for a car seat.
Trouble with this concept is you have to actually take the time to use it. I can't imagine many people are going to bother going in the back seat to access a safe for their handbag every time they hop in the car. This is one of those things that seem really great but people will quickly find it too bothersome to use.
I would say that the VersaTire holder, these items are a damn life saver working at a dealership and constantly pulling wheels off of cars, since I do a lot of oil change and tire rotates, it sucks having to bend over to pick up the wheels, like the small wheels aren’t bad at all, it’s the big truck tires and shit that hurt
I'd like to see the Lockpicking Lawyer go at the Boosted Safe. It looks like the sort of thin sheet metal safe that can be popped open with any number of improvised tools, and like it has a combination lock that can be decoded by hand as fast as it would take to put in the combination normally.
I actually have one of those hudways and I've found that it's a great idea which in practice is a little inconvenient. For example, in my SUV the seating position is quite high and so I end up looking down at it and taking my eyes off the road anyways. Another thing is that you need at least a foot of space ideally on top of your instrument cluster to stick the thing, so if you have a low clearance windshield or an instrument cluster that slopes down in behind, it won't fit. Also I've found the projected display is a little fuzzy, but if you can mount it in a place where it's actually in front of your view while driving, it's a solid little thing.

The Autowit isn't a typical jump starter. It's a capacitor that scavenges what little energy is in the car battery, then feeds it back all at once. You need to connect it to your car battery for a bit for it to "charge".
@@bac1308 lmao literally this. They have the absolute best group of host's of any youtube channel.

I have the Hudway Drive and absolutely LOVE it. I like not having to look down so much to see my speed. The GPS function on it is nice, if you don't want to run it on your phone. But most of all I like that it displays my messages in the HUD. The addon options are cool too. You can get blind spot cameras and a back up camera for it, as well as a forward facing night vision camera. It's a cool product.
On my old phone, I used to have an app that would either change the background or make the entire app translucent to display basically your camera. It worked surprisingly well and I'd have a phone mount set up above my dash with GPS (imagine all that white empty space on Google Maps being your camera displaying whatever is in front of it like the road while keeping the roads on screen), but I mostly used it to walk and text or play games and stuff while still seeing directly in front of me. Just don't go into it thinking it'll look like you have a clear phone or anything, mine had slught camera lag when in use, so it was obviously delayed by 1/4 of a second but I loved it still.
@@forehand101 That sounds like a cool idea, but I would imagine it would suck power like no other since you're running navigation as well as just having the camera app open and displaying a live feed. There's a reason most camera apps have a timeout function for if you have it open for too long without doing anything.
@@moogle68 Oh yeah, that app could suck a battery through a garden hose if you know what I mean lmao. In my car, it was always plugged in so not a problem, but walking around and using it would only last 45-60 minutes on my phone that I normally only charged every few days lol
@@vladpcgamer Many people placed orders and waited over a year and never got the product, and many had a hard time getting refunds, and had to file disputes with credit card companies. Maybe same reason why Donut cannot get one either. It was a brilliant product idea, but they struggled to commercialize.
I also have a Hudway Drive, love the thing. It is great to do a split second check my speed/oiltemp/battvolatage by just changing my focus. Also when messages come up, instead of turning my head to the headunit, I can read everything while still looking at the road. The adhesive mount is kind of weak though... still deciding if I want a more permanent install.
Product testing vids were my gateway to Donut and loving cars. Other vids are food, but tests are still my favorite! Faves: illegal products, testing antitheft products, and horrible stuff from Wish!
Well if one part is going to be strong it's going to be the thing that holds the child seat secure. You can bet no company wants the PR nightmare from from THAT going wrong.
I actually got a HUD off amazing for like $18 a couple years ago. I mainly got it because the engineers at Mazda decided that my 2012 Mazda3 Skyactiv 6spd manual didn't need a coolant temp gauge, we just get a blue light for cold and a red light for overheating so by the time you hit red it's probably too late. My HUD does speed/temp/rpm/voltage although the rpms are real slow and the speed is not very accurate but IT plugs into the obd2 and reads the temps that way so I didn't have to mess with sensors or install a temp sensor in the hoses. Works good for that.
@@tombates9122 the newer one I got was a bit more expensive but it's also got a nicer display and the rpms almost match the cars, there's a slight delay. My old one the rpms were like 2 seconds behind. The new one I got is the "ACECAR Head Up Display Car Universal Dual System 3.5 Inches HUD", it's got GPS, compass, temp, rpm, and some other features. You can choose to have the mph by GPS or run off the cars ecu. But it was worth spending a little more. I did cut a little piece of plastic and made a taller hood for it so I couldn't see the actual device at all, just used double sided tape and stuck it to the side, but that's mainly due to the angle of my dash.
That one for boosted safe that shows the robbery while the people were in their Prius, it was camera equipment in the car they stole after casing the people and the car.
One of the reasons I invented the boosted safe was because I was a videographer and had more money in camera equipment, hard drives and laptops than my car was worth.
Not sure but I think the automotive bag might have been a fire/explosion risk. You're trapping gas fumes in a plastic bag for an indefinite amount of time. The fumes might also make the interior of the car smell after a while.
@@michaelclouse942 For modern cars, that is true. Older cars lack the emissions control hardware that prevents those vapors from escaping. In addition, fuel formulas have changed and now include a percentage of ethanol, which deteriorates the rubber fuel lines on classic cars that haven't been replaced with stainless steel.
....at that point it doesn't even matter since you've dragged that bag thing over ground/dirt 12:44 and then over the car, so your paint is scratched to hell.... The car might just go into fireball at that point....
for the last one I really hoped the bag would win and get funded I mean if it really works it would be a banger product because it could protect your car from snow, leaves, dust and so on
I think he was right saying it was invented by someone who's never worked on a car. All I kept thinking was, one wrong move and, instead of dropping a spanner down the engine bay, you've lost a whole toolkit down there.
I dunno, Tool Monkey looks pretty useful, how many times have you needed a place to put tools etc so you aren't dropping them into the engine bay? The Versatire looks like a valid product too, but you're not wrong about the magnet. I'd get the toy car thing if it let you drive your car like James Bond.
A bar with trays on it is going to be in your way with most anything you're doing under the hood of a car that requires multiple tools. A better solution is to pull up a table or a tool box next to the car with a work top on it.

So the device you clickbait us with in the thumbnail, you don’t even test? That’s some next level click baiting right there. That’s straight up bait n switching.
Did anyone notice that to use the car dust bag you have to roll your car into it? So you can’t use it unless you’ve got a flat surface or want to wreck your car in a bag 😂
I kick started the original Hudly, that HUD is awesome you mount to the windshield behind the visor and it projects down into a glass screen on the windshield reading from OBD2 port so you not only get speed, but rpm, fuel, volts, temp etc.
It’s funny, I actually new a few of these back when I was more active in researching about engineering (stopped getting involved as much in kickstarter side of inspiration when I decided I didn’t want to go into engineering as a career). The hudway is one that showed up at least 5 years ago but I think longer so it kind of explains the weirdness, also explains why the access to HUD apps is so bungy.
They forgot to mention the main difference between Autowitt and the other battery jump starter. The autowitt doesn't have battery in it. I've had Li battery jump pack deplete over time and takes a while to get a full charge. The autowitt uses super capacitors, if you still have some juice left, it can charge the capacitors in few min using the 12V cigarette lighter port. The downside of the device is that if your battery is fully depleted, you won't be able to charge it, also, you won't be able to initiate the jump sequence since it doesn't detect the battery. It takes a while to charge via 5V.

5:45 Is a great tool for tire rotations, other than that its easier to set in on the ground. Omega Also makes that same thing 10x better for cheaper lol.

I really figured the car bag thing was the winner. I just recently saw a post on Reddit (I think) of a Porsche in a bag to protect it from floodwaters. People in comments were saying it was probably just heavy guage/mil plastic sheeting, but the idea is the same.

@@boostedsafe Just one of these days, I want a company like you guys to partner with Lock Picking Lawyer to create an actual lock that can't be easily broken into with a simple shim.
I was totally prepared to just watch you try products from kickstarter. Adding in the guessing game with the products that didnt get funded was next level. Keep up the good work!
for the tyre magnet, it's likely a switchable magnet, similar to the ones used for welding
it was neodymium... an 10cm dia 3cm thick one can hold 150kgs...so it doesnt take much to hold that wheel😉
01:09: Fun fact! -40°C = -40°F,
this is where the 2 temperature scales cross.
To the editor that is inserting Captain Falcon "Yes!" SFX into the videos lately, I see you and I love you
0:56 i like that they moved the engine cover in imply the motor was starting
You know, I might be a bad person for this. But getting Justin to commit the robbery is just out of pocket funny to me.
The Autowit isn't a typical jump starter. It's a capacitor that scavenges what little energy is in the car battery, then feeds it back all at once. You need to connect it to your car battery for a bit for it to "charge".
Not offense to the rest of Donut (love you all), but James and Justin have become my favorite pair. Their videos are always so entertaining.
🍆♥
It makes my day to see a video with Zach Jobe and Uncle Jerry or Justin and James. Content powerhouses.
I feel this way about every pair I see.
@@bac1308 lmao literally this. They have the absolute best group of host's of any youtube channel. I personally like Jerry and Justin as a combo...however...as is type that...i start thinking "well, i cant leave out jobe" and then "well daaamn...also cant leave out James and nolan" ....its quite a good problem to have lol
It's so hard to decide they're all so great for different reasons.
I have the Hudway Drive and absolutely LOVE it. I like not having to look down so much to see my speed. The GPS function on it is nice, if you don't want to run it on your phone. But most of all I like that it displays my messages in the HUD. The addon options are cool too. You can get blind spot cameras and a back up camera for it, as well as a forward facing night vision camera. It's a cool product.
It’s always a good day when donut posts
Don't they post almost every day?
@@barefootalien if that’s true then everyday is a good day baby 😎
@@yolotheferret Heheh, you're welcome. xD I was gonna do the 😎if you didn't.
Not if your girlfriend died.
@@samuelgarrod8327 dawg…
7:01 bold move having the black guy do the robbery
That’s a reach
The tiny rc cars remind me of ZipZap rc cars from the early 2000s. Those things were epic!
Damn.. core memory unlocked
Would rather have the dust free over the rc car.
Hell yeah! We race K999's now lol
@@BareFlame racist loser .
@@BareFlame Ok kent state anyone ?
Tulsa ?
Iraq ? Syria ? Libya ?
Funny how u mentioned tianamen but I don't see proof
Having Justin do the robbery /demonstration is crazy
On my old phone, I used to have an app that would either change the background or make the entire app translucent to display basically your camera. It worked surprisingly well and I'd have a phone mount set up above my dash with GPS (imagine all that white empty space on Google Maps being your camera displaying whatever is in front of it like the road while keeping the roads on screen), but I mostly used it to walk and text or play games and stuff while still seeing directly in front of me.
Just don't go into it thinking it'll look like you have a clear phone or anything, mine had slught camera lag when in use, so it was obviously delayed by 1/4 of a second but I loved it still.
Do you remember the app name? And is it still in the play store/can you get it from apkpure?
@@UnitZER0 oh I have no idea. I remember there being tons of them tho, all claiming to make your phone look like something made by Tony Stark lmao
@@forehand101 That sounds like a cool idea, but I would imagine it would suck power like no other since you're running navigation as well as just having the camera app open and displaying a live feed. There's a reason most camera apps have a timeout function for if you have it open for too long without doing anything.
@@moogle68 Oh yeah, that app could suck a battery through a garden hose if you know what I mean lmao. In my car, it was always plugged in so not a problem, but walking around and using it would only last 45-60 minutes on my phone that I normally only charged every few days lol
1:12 we also use Celsius in Australia. Preeeeettty sure we speak English as well 😂
10:15 - I own a Hudway Drive. It's pretty great, and works quite well. I like how it can tie into your OBDII system as well.
Where can you buy one ? My buick lesabre came with a HUD from factory and it was amazing, but now that I drive an 80s bmw, I miss it a lot
Yeah I realized they completely misunderstood the product when they bought a smart phone reflector HUD as a “similar product.”
@@vladpcgamer Hudway has their own site, but you'll need to google it. They've sold out for now, but batch 6 will be shipping in March 2024.
@@vladpcgamer Many people placed orders and waited over a year and never got the product, and many had a hard time getting refunds, and had to file disputes with credit card companies. Maybe same reason why Donut cannot get one either. It was a brilliant product idea, but they struggled to commercialize.
I also have a Hudway Drive, love the thing. It is great to do a split second check my speed/oiltemp/battvolatage by just changing my focus. Also when messages come up, instead of turning my head to the headunit, I can read everything while still looking at the road. The adhesive mount is kind of weak though... still deciding if I want a more permanent install.
7:23 excuse me can I help you dude?? 🤣
“Get off me bro…” had me laughing more than it should.
Product testing vids were my gateway to Donut and loving cars. Other vids are food, but tests are still my favorite! Faves: illegal products, testing antitheft products, and horrible stuff from Wish!
My guess, is Boosted Safe is called that because it attaches like a Booster seat for kids.
Well if one part is going to be strong it's going to be the thing that holds the child seat secure. You can bet no company wants the PR nightmare from from THAT going wrong.
It also kind of looks like one with the cover on. Which makes sense, because it doesn't look like anything particularly valuable.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodoIt looks like a box, window definitely getting smashed.
I actually got a HUD off amazing for like $18 a couple years ago. I mainly got it because the engineers at Mazda decided that my 2012 Mazda3 Skyactiv 6spd manual didn't need a coolant temp gauge, we just get a blue light for cold and a red light for overheating so by the time you hit red it's probably too late. My HUD does speed/temp/rpm/voltage although the rpms are real slow and the speed is not very accurate but IT plugs into the obd2 and reads the temps that way so I didn't have to mess with sensors or install a temp sensor in the hoses. Works good for that.
Oh, I might need one for my Impreza which does the same thing. It's a 2012, too. Strange that they went with that system and it really annoys me.
@@tombates9122 the newer one I got was a bit more expensive but it's also got a nicer display and the rpms almost match the cars, there's a slight delay. My old one the rpms were like 2 seconds behind. The new one I got is the "ACECAR Head Up Display Car Universal Dual System 3.5 Inches HUD", it's got GPS, compass, temp, rpm, and some other features. You can choose to have the mph by GPS or run off the cars ecu. But it was worth spending a little more. I did cut a little piece of plastic and made a taller hood for it so I couldn't see the actual device at all, just used double sided tape and stuck it to the side, but that's mainly due to the angle of my dash.
Boosted Safe's hinge is exposed and you could pop that pin out in like 2 seconds with a product from Lock Picking Lawyer's store.
Na...
12:27 "Resualble" now that's the kind of attention to detail I expect from the company I'm depending on to protect my Porsche 😂
Its nice to see him on youtube after seeing him in the crew motorfest. Congratulations dude!!!
so cool to see him in video games🤘
That one for boosted safe that shows the robbery while the people were in their Prius, it was camera equipment in the car they stole after casing the people and the car.
One of the reasons I invented the boosted safe was because I was a videographer and had more money in camera equipment, hard drives and laptops than my car was worth.
I always forget about James' Golf, and then I'm reminded how gorgeous it is.
This certainly won't go wrong. 😂
Justin is awesome, glad he is part of the team now!
Not sure but I think the automotive bag might have been a fire/explosion risk. You're trapping gas fumes in a plastic bag for an indefinite amount of time. The fumes might also make the interior of the car smell after a while.
Other types if products are out there already like the bag its safe most fuel systems are sealed systems so fuel dosent escape let alone fumes
@@michaelclouse942 For modern cars, that is true. Older cars lack the emissions control hardware that prevents those vapors from escaping. In addition, fuel formulas have changed and now include a percentage of ethanol, which deteriorates the rubber fuel lines on classic cars that haven't been replaced with stainless steel.
....at that point it doesn't even matter since you've dragged that bag thing over ground/dirt 12:44 and then over the car, so your paint is scratched to hell.... The car might just go into fireball at that point....
for the last one I really hoped the bag would win and get funded
I mean if it really works it would be a banger product because it could protect your car from snow, leaves, dust and so on
The tool monkey is for grease monkeys. I'm guessing thats why its named that
I think he was right saying it was invented by someone who's never worked on a car. All I kept thinking was, one wrong move and, instead of dropping a spanner down the engine bay, you've lost a whole toolkit down there.
“This is Canadian cause he’s speaking English and talking in celsius”
- Literally every other English speaking country: 🫤
5:10 know what people find if they try to break into mine ? Absolutely nothing because I’m poor.
I love the autowit product, seems like a handy thing to own.
"Kobe and Shaq" 🤝Kickstarter. We love it here.
I dunno, Tool Monkey looks pretty useful, how many times have you needed a place to put tools etc so you aren't dropping them into the engine bay? The Versatire looks like a valid product too, but you're not wrong about the magnet. I'd get the toy car thing if it let you drive your car like James Bond.
A bar with trays on it is going to be in your way with most anything you're doing under the hood of a car that requires multiple tools. A better solution is to pull up a table or a tool box next to the car with a work top on it.
@@cb84capri Yeah maybe so, all that stuff up against the firewall might be obstructed slightly
@@cb84capri I would be interested in one solely for holding screws, bits, sockets so smaller than this but within reach.
Y’all have exhausted these types of videos to a whole other level.
Kudos to the boys for wasting money and a bit of sanity just for our entertainment
Kudos to whoever coded this bot to get massive amounts of likes on every video on UA-cam
9:30 "Yet it is still difficult to afFORD one" while plugging a ford ev in. Creators were definitely dads
6:43 Sure, put the black guy to break into the car and try to steal.
thats what i thought
love how someone is just casually working on Hi Car in the background, drop an RB in there since you guys don't like reliability hahaha love you guys
the camera work and the editing is so much better now
What do cardboard boxes and UA-cam have in common? Life gets better when you open them and see Donut.
Fortunately, the bag is "resualble".
I feel *very* confident about their quality control, and attention to detail.
(circa 12:27)
James saying "Let's go cruise!" "Let's go see our friend!" is giving off DJ Khaled vibes 🤣

Dude I just realized that James is the N-word guy from Key and Peele. Lol
Wait what
@@omegaofficer7139 look up the Key and Peele skit “negraph”
James' golf is so clean, honestly one of the best I've seen
So the device you clickbait us with in the thumbnail, you don’t even test? That’s some next level click baiting right there. That’s straight up bait n switching.
They did a head up display tho.........
I just like how someone is under the Z fixing things while James is hosting a video
1:34 Yall are missing the point, it claims it works down till -40, the ones that you usually buy will struggle to work at under 0 (32F).
"Excuseme, can I help you there?"..."Aaaaaaahhhh"(running) LOL, cracked me up!
13:54 He needs a suction bag for his wap
11:30 Wait a second.. Tell me more about that prah-poe-shah-nul staring
12:49 i can see that car bag quite easily scratching the paint
Did anyone notice that to use the car dust bag you have to roll your car into it? So you can’t use it unless you’ve got a flat surface or want to wreck your car in a bag 😂
The problem with the car bag is that they know eventually someone would forget to take their kid out first.
I love that at 11:57 some random dude walks through the shot 😂
"It must be Canada, hes speaking english but hes talkin Celsius" lmaooooooo i love you james
9:33 "less than $10,000" shows greater than $10,000$
I kick started the original Hudly, that HUD is awesome you mount to the windshield behind the visor and it projects down into a glass screen on the windshield reading from OBD2 port so you not only get speed, but rpm, fuel, volts, temp etc.
Having a blast seeing you in the crew motorfest, hell of a game and doing the donut missions
It’s funny, I actually new a few of these back when I was more active in researching about engineering (stopped getting involved as much in kickstarter side of inspiration when I decided I didn’t want to go into engineering as a career). The hudway is one that showed up at least 5 years ago but I think longer so it kind of explains the weirdness, also explains why the access to HUD apps is so bungy.
I feel like James has been searching for Justin for the longest time and now has a soulmate ❤️😂
They forgot to mention the main difference between Autowitt and the other battery jump starter. The autowitt doesn't have battery in it. I've had Li battery jump pack deplete over time and takes a while to get a full charge. The autowitt uses super capacitors, if you still have some juice left, it can charge the capacitors in few min using the 12V cigarette lighter port. The downside of the device is that if your battery is fully depleted, you won't be able to charge it, also, you won't be able to initiate the jump sequence since it doesn't detect the battery. It takes a while to charge via 5V.
James golf looks mint. Legit
I love the random guy in the background working on the car for effect!
Donut Zip Ties is the grabbiest of cash grabs I've ever seen and I've seen Stockys 😂
im so glad to see james back in a video
bc of him i now have a car to put my mo horsepower baby on board sticker on but i gotta build it. you guys should sell a cardboard cutout of james so i can cruise him around in the back everywhere i go
Tool Monkey is great for dropping 47 bolts into your engine bay instead of just the typical 1.
And the dreaded 10m socket that everyone looses😅
@@Guns_N_Gears I had one of those once. RIP
@@shaunald lol
5:45 Is a great tool for tire rotations, other than that its easier to set in on the ground. Omega Also makes that same thing 10x better for cheaper lol.
The thing that escapes sponsors is the lack of support and parts for the things they sell. This makes everything you back on Kickstarter and Indiegogo a throwaway.
1:41 James thought he got cancelled for a sec
Y’all should partner up with some of these car products like the tire hanger and car cover and make some sweet sweet donut merch!
me when a girl calls me cute 7:24
13:04 i could do the stretch test with Saran wrap and get the same result. What about a tear test from the side or a puncture test from the middle? All this shows is it's strong in one direction.
Getting donut media ads while watching donut media seems fitting
I really figured the car bag thing was the winner. I just recently saw a post on Reddit (I think) of a Porsche in a bag to protect it from floodwaters. People in comments were saying it was probably just heavy guage/mil plastic sheeting, but the idea is the same.
I’m digging the little cars/cat toys…😂😂😂😂
