2/20/25: This Week In Consumer Hardware

Recent launches from Planck, HOTO, Longer, and SainSmart.


Hi! Hope you’re doing well.

Came across some cool products to share this week.

From high-speed tire inflation to precision engraving and portable storage, here are this week’s exciting consumer products:

  • HOTO Air Pump Pro

  • Longer Nano Duo

  • Planck SSD

  • SainSmart Genmitsu Cubiko

You can see all of the product demo videos here.


HOTO Air Pump Pro: A Faster Way to Inflate Tires

The HOTO Air Pump Pro is a portable electric tire inflator designed for speed and convenience. It fully inflates a car tire from 0 to 35 psi in just 5 minutes, making it an essential tool for drivers.

It features smart auto-stop, which prevents overinflation by stopping at the exact pressure needed. With four preset modes, it’s ready to inflate car tires, motorcycle tires, bicycle tires, and sports balls without any manual adjustments.

A built-in LED display shows real-time pressure, while a 12-lumen LED light makes it useful for nighttime use or emergencies.

HOTO delivers a compact, powerful, and easy-to-use inflator that keeps you prepared on the road.

Longer Nano Duo: AI-Powered Laser Engraving on Any Material

The Nano Duo from Longer is a dual-laser engraver designed for both precision and versatility.

It combines a 2W infrared laser for engraving on metal with a 20W blue diode laser for wood, leather, and glass. With AI-powered depth adjustment, it automatically optimizes engraving based on material color, producing detailed 3D embossing effects.

It also supports batch automation with a conveyor belt system, making it possible to engrave multiple objects at once without manual alignment.

With high engraving speeds and smart automation, Longer makes precision engraving more efficient and accessible.

Planck SSD: Pocket-Sized Storage for Creators

The Planck SSD is a tiny high-speed external drive designed for creators who need reliable storage on the go.

It records high-resolution video directly from iPhones and USB-C devices, eliminating concerns about running out of space or dropped frames. Whether shooting long 4K videos or working with large media files, Planck keeps up without slowing down.

The drive is shockproof, dustproof, and water-resistant, making it ideal for travel and outdoor shoots. Built-in cooling ensures stable performance even during long recording sessions.

Planck delivers portable, durable, and fast storage for anyone who creates on the move.

SainSmart Genmitsu Cubiko: A Compact Desktop CNC Machine

The Genmitsu Cubiko is an affordable desktop CNC machine designed for makers of all skill levels.

It supports CNC carving, PCB milling, and laser engraving, with auto-leveling to ensure precise circuit cuts and engravings. It also features a fully enclosed design, reducing noise and dust while making it safer to use.

With multiple control options, including a built-in panel, a mobile app, and compatibility with CNC software, SainSmart makes precision manufacturing easy for hobbyists and professionals alike.

A word from this week’s sponsor: Doss

The best products aren’t just built—they’re designed to adapt. Whether it’s an air pump or an AI engraver, the most exciting innovations all share one thing: they give you control.

Doss takes the same approach to operations software. Traditional ERPs lock teams into rigid workflows. Doss lets them build their own—like assembling LEGO blocks. No long setup, no expensive consultants. Just a system that works in days, sometimes hours.

Thinking about starting your own company? The team at Doss shared their new hire onboarding presentation with me, a behind-the-scenes look at how the two-year-old startup won the trust of big brands.

Worth a read. Let me know if you’d like access.


That’s all for this week.

If you come across any cool products, feel free to DM me :)
