Ampere Time 100Ah LiFEPO4 battery 24

REVIEW – I have many power-hungry gadgets that gobble up power like Santa eats cookies. Keeping them running longer has always been fun! LiTime’s LiFePO4 100Ah battery is a beast that brings a sleighful of juice to my army of electronics! What is it? The LiTime 100Ah battery is a 12-volt lithium iron phosphate cell […]

Worx Nitro 20V Compact Brushless ½ inch Drill Driver review – All the power in a much smaller package!

Worx Drill 4

REVIEW – A cordless drill/driver is one of the most useful and versatile tools available. I use mine for drilling holes, driving screws, tightening bolts, and even with a brush attachment scrubbing soap scum from the shower walls!  My “go-to” for cordless tools has typically been “old yeller,” DeWalt.  My current main cordless drill/driver is

Verefa V60 Pro Robot Vacuum 46

REVIEW – When Star Wars was released in 1977, I was in awe of the variety of robots on the Jawa Sandcrawler. I never imagined having a crew of robots to help with my household duties. Forty-five years later, my house is filled with them! Now you can have one that vacuums your house and

REVIEW – Living in Michigan, I love the wintertime, but I hate being cold. So when it comes to winter jackets, I am always looking for the warmest thing I can find. I recently received a heated-down jacket from ORORO. I reviewed a heated vest (from another company) last year and loved it. In fact,

TurboAnt M10 Lite Folding Electric Scooter review – Zippy and fun transportation!

TurboAnt M10 Lite Electric Scooter 40

REVIEW – While on vacation several years ago, my car lost a belt idler. Miles from the nearest auto parts store left me few options other than begging for a bicycle, bumming a ride, or calling for a VERY expensive taxi ride across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. Thankfully a park ranger had mercy

WasagunDresser 14

REVIEW – For Gadgeteers, storage is sometimes at a premium. We have loads of cases, plugs, battery packs and such that can quickly overwhelm shelf space. A new release from Wasagun that can solve this is their 10-drawer Dresser. I was sent a sample in black with a grey wood grain finish. Let’s take a

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 headphones review – When you must have the best of everything

Bowers Wilkins PX8 19

REVIEW – Sometimes, you just have to have the very best of something, whether that something is a car, boat, speakers, or even a pair of headphones. As long as there are music-loving people who demand and can have the best, there will be others more than happy to fill that desire. British audio company

Ampace P600 11

REVIEW – If you’re in the market for a large battery power station, this is a great time to buy. The selection is impressive and prices keep decreasing as capacity and features increase. It seems like everybody now makes a power station. Ampace is a company with a single available power station (so far), but

Ender5 S1 22

REVIEW – I have now owned four different 3D printers.   My first was a Creality Ender 3 V2, a Christmas gift from my Mom.  I then reviewed the Elegoo Neptune 3, which added a self-leveling bed and a magnetic plate to easily remove prints.  The next printer that I reviewed was a Mingda Magician Max.

Boulies Master Office Chair review – Cradle your keister in comfort!

Boulies Master Office Chair 15

  REVIEW – With coffee as an exception ;-), your chair is probably the most important ally in our employment or gaming experience. Body contour, height, and arm support adjustments are keys to finding a ride that’s well-suited for the 8-hour long haul. Boulies Master office chair has what it takes to cradle your keister

Kaiweets KM601 Multimeter 25

REVIEW – No toolkit is complete without a good multimeter. Electrical troubleshooting is nearly impossible without one. If you’re a “do-it-yourselfer,” are curious if those batteries in that drawer are kaput, or want to play doctor with your car, then the Kaiweets KM601 Digital multimeter should be stuffed in your stocking this year!

VRURCmini 6 scaled e1669141881754

REVIEW – Due to the forward march of progress in battery technology, we are much less dependent on power banks than we were just a few short years ago. I heard a podcaster the other day say that he had stopped using the charging stand on his desk because his phone never gets below 80%

Atomstack X7 Pro 50W Laser Engraver review – Lasers aren’t just Star Wars and industry anymore!

Atomstack X7 Pro Laser Engraver 11

REVIEW – When I was growing up, lasers were huge, industrial, cantankerous beasts, and largely the stuff of science fiction.
