My angle grinder was stolen from my garage (it was a condo, shared space) along with some other tools. Now that I have my own garage, I had a chance to try out the Tacklife AGK31AC 6.3-amp angle grinder to see if it would make a worthy replacement.

I don’t take my blood pressure on a regular basis, but maybe I should. I have EMT training so I own a manual sphygmomanometer (“blood pressure cuff”) as well as a tabletop automatic and a portable. The Koogeek BP2, however, looked so small and sleek, I knew I had to give it a try.

I used to have one of these infrared thermometers, but it’s since gone missing. I suspect it was stolen in the Great Garage Robbery of 2015. I recently had a chance to test out another infrared thermometer, but with not one laser, but two! Let’s check out this laser-y goodness.

I’ve got quite a few flashlights, but I don’t really have a portable “floodlight” when I need to light up a large area. This time I got to try out something different. It’s not quite a flashlight, and it’s not really a camping lantern. It’s the Loftek 15W Portable Floodlight.

In 2014 I had a chance to review the cylindrical Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speaker. At the time, it was a uniquely shaped speaker paired with a 360-degree sound. There have been other versions of this speaker such as the Boom 2 and the Megaboom, but the squat, softball-sized Wonderboom caught my eye. Let’s take a look.

I’ve been seeing more of these supersized USB portable batteries that include AC outlets. I was recently given the chance to test the Suaoki Powerhouse portable “generator”. I had never heard of Suaoki, so I was naturally curious. What was this thing that looked like a silver and black lunchbox?

I’ve been staying away from keyboards for a while, since I haven’t really found anything new that caught my eye- until now: A slim, metal-bodied keyboard that looks like something from Apple, yet can pair with four devices and features backlit keys.

In 2011, I reviewed the AntLion ModMic, a boom microphone that you attach to your own headphones. The latest version is the ModMic 5, which now includes a mute switch, selectable omni/cardioid pattern, and more. How does it sound? Let’s find out.

The dash cam market is a crowded place. It’s so crowded, I’ve kind of given up on searching for “the best”. Recently, Waylens released a dash cam called the Horizon that not only boasts excellent image quality but gives the driver the option to overlay vehicle information such as speed, RPM, GPS and more, all
