hi Dave Taylor here welcome to my garage
0:14
it's a little bit of a mess but there's
0:16
definitely space for a car to pull in
0:18
but here's the problem like probably
0:20
most drivers I don't always know exactly
0:23
how far to pull into my garage so I have
0:26
to sometimes struggle and I'll pull in
0:28
and it's like super too too close to the
0:30
wall and then people can't get in front
0:32
of the car or I'm too far back and it's
0:35
like ooh I better move the car in just a
0:36
little bit more before I close the
0:38
garage L something horrible happen
0:42
enter here's my prop enter the striker
0:46
garage parking sensor let me move in a
0:48
little closer you see what I got here
0:51
all right this is actually this really
0:52
cool little device and it's pretty
0:55
simple it here I'll pull it out of the
1:01
and it sits on the wall it has an
1:04
ultrasound sensor and it basically gives
1:06
you a red yellow green to show you how
1:10
far into the garage you're parking how
1:12
do you do that well you put it on the
1:14
wall and then you pull your car into the
1:17
exact perfect distance and that might be
1:20
a little bit of back and forth and then
1:22
you push the button that basically says
1:24
set and it's pretty hard to miss the
1:26
button it's that big red button on the
1:28
bottom right once you've done that then
1:31
every time you start to pull into the
1:33
garage it will sense you coming in and
1:35
it'll actually give you those different
1:37
LED colors so you can see just when
1:39
you're at the perfect distance so let's
1:42
go ahead and I'll install it which is
1:44
just going to be a simple matter of a
1:46
couple of pieces of velcro tape and then
1:48
I'll show you what happens when I pull
1:50
my car in once I've set the distance so
1:53
hold on I'll be right back
2:18
so that's how the striker works pretty
2:20
straightforward you pull your car in the
2:22
first time push the red button to set
2:25
your distance anywhere from 6 in to 6 ft
2:27
from the sensor at the bottom of that
2:30
and then every time you pull in as you
2:32
saw in that video um all you have to do
2:35
is pull in until it turns yellow and
2:38
then maybe just another inch or two and
2:40
once it turns red stop and you're good
2:42
you're perfectly parked and here's the
2:44
thing this thing's available pretty much
2:46
everywhere you can find it at Lowe's
2:48
probably Home Depot and it's $24.99 this
2:51
is not rocket science there's no
2:53
Bluetooth there's no app for your phone
2:56
it's just a straightforward garage
2:57
distance sensor and it's actually really
2:59
useful particularly if you have friends
3:02
or spouses that have a hard time
3:04
figuring out exactly how far the car
3:06
needs to be in the garage so you can
3:09
learn more at striker
3:11
one.com their website or you can just
3:14
check it out at your local hardware
3:15
store this is Dave Taylor and my car is
3:18
successfully parked so I'm out of here
