8849 Tank Pad Tablet Review: RUGGED, Powerful, Projector, AFFORDABLE!

It’s a ridiculous product until you use it.

We can make a gadget tough, we can make it powerful, AND we can make that affordably.

[Lex was REALLY excited to help me shoot this review. “You WANT me to spray a TABLET with a HOSE?!?!?!”]
