Here is the full word-for-word transcript of the TradeFox Magnetic Umbrella Review video:
00:00 Hey guys, welcome back to We Love It Wednesday. It's Joanne here from McCombs, and today we have our featured product of our magnetic umbrellas.
00:09 These are really popular for HVAC techs, for even homeowners, whoever it may be, these are a very popular choice.
00:18 They come with... we have two options. We have the fire-rated one, and then we just have the normal umbrella.
00:26 Um, they come with carrying sleeves for each umbrella. Um, they come with the magnetic base... um, the swivel tool, so your umbrella can move.
00:40 And then the orange fire-rated one comes with a clamp, in case you don't want to use the magnet and you just want to clamp it onto something.
00:48 So, that's what we're showing today. In a second we're going to show you all set up, so stay tuned.
00:54 As you can see, we have the umbrella hooked up now. We set it up like an HVAC tech would here on a condenser unit.
01:03 I'm just going to quickly show you how you can adjust this base here based on where your sun is at.
01:09 So, all you have to do is push the lever down and then adjust it to where you want it to be, reset it, and it stays. Magnetic, not going anywhere.
01:23 We're back, and as you can see, we've set up the umbrella. I picked this location because it was pretty sunny, and as you can tell, the umbrella is now in the sun, but I am not. I am in the shade.
01:34 So, we have the orange fire-rated umbrella set up right now. The fire-rated umbrella is great for people who are using heat tools for soldering, brazing, anything like that.
01:46 We have the lanyard, you clamp it to a sturdy surface so it doesn't blow away. Sturdy magnet, not going anywhere. Our swivel base is tilted out, and then our fire-rated orange umbrella.
01:59 Now, we have two options. We have the orange rated... orange fire-rated umbrella, which is a little more expensive, but it does have the fire-rated fabric and comes with the clamp instead if you don't want to use the magnet and you just want to clamp it on.
02:12 And then we have our black umbrella, which is just your standard magnetic umbrella. Not fire-rated, but still a great option.
02:19 So, that's it for We Love It Wednesday. Thanks for joining us, and see you next time.
