CJRB Pyrite button lock pocket knife review – pocket friendly in more ways than one

cjrb pyrite 1

REVIEW – I watch a lot of knife reviews and unboxing videos. So, I’m always interested when a knife comes along for review.  I don’t care if it’s uber-expensive or budget-minded. If I can get my hands on it, I want to use it, see the build quality, and check out the materials used.  I

Wuben X2 flashlight review – Honey, Wuben shrunk the flashlight!

WubenX2 18 e1674966910645

REVIEW – There are approximately 500 new EDC flashlights released daily. (This is only a rounding error – don’t @ me!) Most of them can be defined as a cylinder with a lens on one end. Wuben has a few flashlights that break this mold, and I was sent the most recent to review –

Xgody X1 Video Projector review – Big screen just in time for the Super Bowl!

Xgody X1 video projector 32

                               REVIEW – There’s nothing like the big-screen cinema experience or a larger-than-life sporting event. Unless you can fork over ridiculous coin for a monster flat-screen, the only way to experience 100+ inches of eye-popping glory in your home is with a projector.  Xgody’s X1 Pro projector brings a big-screen punch to a wall near

Dreo Macro Max S air purifier review – Helps you breathe easier

DreoAirPurifier 8

REVIEW – With the recent virus fresh in our memories, I think many of us have become more aware of how much indoor air quality can affect our quality of life. Even if you don’t have pets or allergies, moving the air in your home around and filtering it can mitigate the effects of flu

Yibintc Ash Vacuum review – A vacuum just for your fireplace!

AshVacuum 9

REVIEW – When it’s cold, there’s nothing like a wood fire to take the chill off the air and cheer me up. I’ve recently bought a house with a wood-burning fireplace, and am really excited to have one again, except for the irritation and mess of having to deal with the ashes. When this Yibintc

CASABREWS 5700 Gense All-in-One Espresso Machine with Auto Grinding review – a mouthful of a name with great mouth feel

casabrews gense 10

REVIEW – Coffee is life. While I’m not addicted to the point where I can’t function without it, I sure do enjoy a cup or two each day, and some of my top travel memories are discovering new coffee shops around the world. I’m fine with a standard drip-brew cup, but a well-made espresso just

VisionTek VT2900 USB-C Dual System KVM Docking Station review

VT2900 Rev 200559671 scaled e1675076969786

REVIEW – Working from home often means managing more than one computer. Since my home office is a bit small and my desk only has room for one large monitor, I need to maximize space whenever possible. Being able to run multiple computers on my one large monitor makes everything a lot easier and that’s

Fenix WF26R flashlight review – high performance, cradle charging duty flashlight

fenix wf26r 5

REVIEW – I like flashlights. If you’re reading this, then I guess you do too. I’ve always been a sucker for Fenix flashlights. A couple of EDC-sized ones I own have taken a beating but still work great after all these years. Now Fenix is introducing the new WF26R (rolls off the tongue, don’t it),

Vosteed Raccoon folding knife review – pocket sized guardian

Vosteed Racoon 01

REVIEW – I’ve owned a lot of folding knives. It’s something I’m passionate about so I was skeptical when a brand I’d never heard of wanted me to test their new $59 knife with a silly name. Let’s see if the Vosteed Raccoon can earn the top spot in my pocket.  What is it? The Vosteed

Shargeek Retro 67 USB-C charger review – Old school Mac charm

shargeek retro67 charger 01

REVIEW – The folks at Shargeek have been on a roll lately. It wasn’t that long ago that the Retro 35W Mac-shaped charger charmed its way into the world, but the Retro 67 takes the nerd factor up a few notches with three USB-C ports and a green phosphor screen inspired display with some “Matrix”

Olight Wyvern Bike Light review – Be seen on the road, in style!

Olight bike light 3

REVIEW – Lights on bikes used to just be for hardcore commuters and racers doing 24-hour endurance events. But more recently, lights have become a fixture on an increasing number of bikes, even during the daytime.  This is due to the increase in bike-to-car collisions and an attempt by cyclists to make themselves more visible

Worx 20V MakerX 2PC Rotary Tool + Wood/Metal Crafter Combo Kit review

Worx Rotary MakerX 15

REVIEW – Tools, tools, and more tools. I should be known for saying that. As a DIYer, I hate having to work on anything and not having the most appropriate tools. So, whenever I get a chance to acquire more and different tools, I jump at the opportunity. I now get the chance to take

Kensington SD5780T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K/6K Docking Station review – power and connections for all your computing needs

kensington SD5780T dock 10

REVIEW – Thunderbolt has taken off as the de facto standard for connecting Macs, Windows PCs, and even iPads to a number of external accessories in the last several years. The recent update to Thunderbolt 4 has allowed docks to support even more speed and port options than ever before. Kensington has long been a

Paris Rhone Tower Heater review – Because I am too cheap for lots of natural gas heating!

Paris Rhone 12

REVIEW – Have I ever mentioned how much I hate cold weather?  Well, I really hate being cold.  Maybe it has to do with living in south Texas for most of my life, but I will take 100-degree temperatures over 55-degree temperatures any day.  That being said, I am also a cheapskate, and the cost
