REVIEW – I have some hearing loss like a lot of people. I have to have the TV up pretty loud to actually hear what’s being said. In crowded situations, I have to concentrate on the person speaking in hopes of grabbing enough of what they’re saying to be able to hold a conversation. Most […]
REVIEW – When you think of action movies what do the heroes, anti-heroes, and villains all choose as their primary weapon of choice? Right, a gun, but what is their backup weapon? Yeah, you’re right. It’s probably another gun, but the weapon of last resort is usually a knife. And what kind of knife? Well,
REVIEW – Living in Northwest Florida, it gets a bit warm in the summer. My boys share a bedroom which just happens to be the hottest room in the house. So you’ve got the hottest room and the body heat from two teenage boys. Needless to say, it gets a bit uncomfortable, especially on days

REVIEW – Growing up in the South, I was surrounded by men carrying a pocket knife. There was my Dad, his 5 brothers, and all my older cousins. If you asked one of them if they had a knife on them, inevitably you’d get the answer, I’ve got my pants on, don’t I? My Dad
REVIEW – I’ve always been a backpack man whether going back and forth to the office or traveling for work. I had one for my laptop and other office-related paraphernalia. I also had one for my good camera, lenses, etc. They were fine and did the job. Then I went remote and only needed them

REVIEW – Where my budget keyboard peeps at? Do you like linear switches with a little more resistance than those god-awful reds? Are you wanting to build a keyboard without having to spend a ton on switches? I may have found just what the doctor ordered for you. Epomaker sent me their Zebra set to

REVIEW – I’m a keyboard nerd and in my dive down that rabbit hole, I discovered I preferred a TKL, ten-keyless, keyboard. It’s been well over 10 years since I’ve used a full-sized keyboard, but sometimes I feel like I could benefit from having a separate numpad that I could remove from my desktop when

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a few laser engravers in the past and we get offers to review others all the time, but they don’t seem to differ much. Most all of them have the same form factor, offer basic functions, and a few safety features. So, I haven’t thrown my hat into the ring to
NEWS – Are you a fan of Case knives but wish they offered something with traditional looks but with materials found in other EDC knives on the market? Now they do. W.R. Case and Sons have released their new Bridgeline series. This new series incorporates micarta knife scales, a removable pocket clip, and CPM20CV steel.
REVIEW – I love knives. A lot of us on the Gadgeteer staff do and I’m guessing you are too if you’re reading this. I love the uber expensive custom knives and the affordable folders you will actually carry on a daily basis. I’m not a knife steel nerd or snob so I’m not able

REVIEW – I’m sure a lot of you like me have always wanted to try your hand at 3D printing. We get offers all the time to review different 3D printers and I always throw my hat in to try one out. I have never 3D printed anything and the only 3D printed objects I
REVIEW – Low-profile keyboards seem to be the current rage in the mechanical keyboard scene at the moment, and I think Lofree may have just cornered the market. They currently have a Kickstarter that started just a few days ago and is already funded for their most current offering, the Edge. I had already brought
REVIEW – I think it goes without saying that Leatherman makes some of the best multitools available. I own a couple of different models of theirs and have always thought them well-made and up to almost any task thrown at them. So when the Leatherman Raptor Rescue came up for review, I was very interested

REVIEW – In my trips down the many, many rabbit holes associated with mechanical keyboard fanaticism, I’ve heard Cherry was the GOAT when it comes to keyboard switches. They are the gold standard that all other switch makers try to emulate. In my early work life, I first became aware of Cherry maintaining POS equipment.

REVIEW – I’ve got an old beater truck, a ’91 Chevy with quite a few miles on it. I don’t drive it often but it’s great when I need it. One day I did need it and when I tried to crank it, all I got was a dreaded ticking. Dead battery. I guess I
