[January 2026 Best Buy] 7 Items I’m Glad I Purchased. SHOEI, TONE, DJI… A Mechanic’s Complete Record of “Serious Shopping”

With the expansion of e-commerce and the shipping industry, shopping has become more accessible and faster.
Consumer spending seems to be increasing year after year…

Buy and then reduce. This is really important.

Doing a BEST-BUY at year-end is difficult and I tend to forget about it, so I thought I’d give up…
So starting this year, I want to make more effort with information sharing.

Glamster BLAST (Glamster Blast) TC-2

I bought my first SHOEI helmet.
It’s incredibly light. I’m amazed—truly amazed!

Even when I breathe heavily, it doesn’t fog up. Seriously? That’s amazing… incredibly amazing.
Even an old guy like me is surprised.

I’m the type to use it actively rather than keep it precious.

It’s lightweight and really excellent, but “wind noise and air turbulence” are present.
With this design, you have to accept that to some extent.

Compared to BELL or AGV, it truly feels like a domestic manufacturer’s quality helmet.
It’s a helmet I’m really glad I bought.

I finally left INSTA ACEPRO and switched to DJI, which I wasn’t particularly fond of.
Let me be frank… the battery life and responsiveness are significantly better.
And it’s incredibly light.
I use it with a chin mount on my helmet all the time, so the difference is huge.

Plus, the battery life is abnormal. It lasts that long? And it charges that fast with rapid charging?
I think almost no one uses GoPro anymore…
It’s extraordinarily good. If you want to buy an action cam, this is the only choice.
The ACTION6 just came out, so you can enjoy it for a while.

The 360 camera is interesting too, but you shouldn’t buy it yet.
New products will probably come out in droves around April.

Is the latest chin mount helmet-specific?

Neino (Neino) SHOEI Motorcycle Helmet GLAMSTER Glamster Dedicated Action Camera Chin Mount GoPro etc.

The packaging is very simple and beautiful.
The accessories are minimal too, which is nice.

The key is where the R coil is located, I think.
After positioning, I thoroughly degrease the helmet side and press hard for a few minutes—it’s solid.

The fact that it comes off so easily is also a benefit.
There’s no other choice for a helmet chin mount.

It’s very simple and great.

Should you hang a helmet on the wall vertically or horizontally?

I got an item to better utilize unused helmets.
It was supposed to hang vertically, but it just won’t go vertical.

But honestly, I prefer it this way. It’s easier to display like this.

KeiSquare Helmet Hanger Helmet Holder Wall Mount Helmet Rack with Hook Motorcycle Use Wood Finish (2-Piece Set)

Simple construction with steel plate and wood.
I don’t actually hate it.
The hook is supposedly for hanging keys and such, but… this Chinese product can’t do that.

I temporarily fixed it to visualize how it would look…

I thought it would be completely different! But… this works too.
When displayed this way, it looks like it’s looking at you, which is cool.
Plus, by mounting it flush against the wall, it’s easier to clean.

So I installed it in the bathroom. By the way, I didn’t use the included anchors.
I only trust Fischer DUOTEC10, so I’m using that for installation.
The installation is simple and incredibly solid.

If you’re splitting firewood, this is essential (*´ω｀*)

[Fireside] Camping Firewood Splitting Kindling Cracker 72000

TONE (TONE) Double-Faced Hammer BHAD-50 Red/Black 5lb

The key is how easily even women can do the work.
There are plenty of cheap knockoffs out there, but I went with the genuine article.

Sometimes you don’t know if it’s your technique or the tool that’s the problem.

[Fireside] Camping Firewood Splitting Kindling Cracker 72000
It’s made of ductile cast iron that everyone loves (*´ω｀*)
Made in New Zealand
Maybe the required volume is different… It’s a beautiful design you can love for a long time.

TONE (TONE) Double-Faced Hammer BHAD-50 Red/Black 5lb

That’s TONE for you! The passionate red really gets you fired up—burning bright!
This thing! A domestic manufacturer with this design for ¥3,536 including tax!
I feel silly for worrying about hammers for days.

I had my wife try it right away.

“The hammer is heavy, but because of its weight, it splits on its own, so it’s easy.”
We split kindling and larger pieces when we get them.
*Though we can only split pieces that fit in this cracker…
For our level of casual wood stove enjoyment, this combo is perfect.

I want to own and love tools I can use for a long time.

Starrett 277-6 6 Toolmakers’ Spring-Type Divider

Starrett 277-6 6 Toolmakers’ Spring-Type Divider With Round Legs And Solid Nut by Starrett

In other words, it’s a scribe compass.
I’ve been using cheap knockoffs for ages, but since it was acting up, I went for it.
Perfect in terms of feel, design, and everything.
I wish I’d bought it sooner… that’s the kind of item I’m introducing.

Seriously Amazing! Alkaline Electrolyzed Water Cleaner pH 13.2 or Higher Strong Alkaline

Our factory floor has a non-slip finish, which is harder to clean than expected.
Looking back, I wish I’d gone with a standard finish…

Solvents fade the color a bit, so I ruled those out.
I searched for various cleaners and found this strong alkaline one.
It cleans in a flash.
With wiping and scrubbing, it comes right off, so cleaning is really efficient and fun now.

That’s my January BEST BUY.
Please use it as a reference.
