REVIEW – I can remember the days years ago when I would make sure that in the back of my car, I always had a portable battery pack for an emergency jump start, a portable tire inflator, and a flashlight among other things. Back then, I would never have even entertained the thought that there

REVIEW – Who doesn’t like to cut things apart? The more violent the cut, the better! Chainsaws are the tool that comes to mind for raw power and destructive cutting force.

REVIEW – If you’re of a certain age, you remember easy-to-work-on vehicles. My first car, a 1967 Buick Special, was just such a vehicle. If you wanted to change the oil, you could do it from the top or bottom as the 300 cubic inch V8 only took up a fraction of the enormous engine

REVIEW – Most urban and suburban areas are awash with scooters, both privately owned, and in many cities there are fleets of rental scooters strewn about like a hurricane had just hit.

REVIEW – As power stations are becoming more ubiquitous in the market, we’re starting to see some new segments emerge. One of those positive segments is a “value power station,” and the Deeno GT X1500 is one of the first aiming in that direction. At around $700 for a 1000 Wh power station, the Deeno

REVIEW – The Mozsly Watch Winder is for watch owners who have one or more self-wind watches but don’t wear them full time. When you put an auto-winding watch aside, they usually stop within a week or so. The Mozsly watch Winder keeps the watch mainspring ‘topped off’ so the watch is ready to use

REVIEW – Twenty-first-century folks are a mobile society. Humans have always clung to our hunter-gatherer roots, but lately, it seems we’ve become unstuck from all rootedness to place.

REVIEW – In late 2019, I reviewed the 1st generation of Master & Dynamic’s MH40 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones. Except for the wireless part, they were visually identical to the original wired MH40 headphone—an iconic design if there ever was one. It’s mid-2023, and M&D has decided to not mess with a good thing and is

REVIEW – A few years ago, a friend gave me a FoodSaver vacuum sealer she never used. I barely knew what one was, but accepted it anyway because it is a . . . gadget. I am glad I did. If you aren’t familiar with what a sealer can do, it literally sucks the air
