HAYOYISHU 1

The HAOYISHU Headlamp Flashlight is a headlamp that does both. It offers daytime brightness if you need it. The light has 10 steady and flashing modes and sells

Giraffe Tools Grandfalls Pressure Washer review – Powerful spiffy cleaning without the setup fuss!

GiRAFFE Tools 31

REVIEW – Pressure washers are both a blessing and a curse. They perform very well cleaning up a muddy or bug-goo-covered vehicle, keeping a garage floor squeaky clean, or flushing a hard winter’s grime away from vinyl siding, but… setting them up can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Thankfully, Giraffe Tools has addressed nearly all of

MingdaMagicianX 14

REVIEW – Ever since Captain Kirk pulled a plate of food from the replicator on Star Trek in the 60s, I think we’ve all harbored dreams of having everyday objects provided for us in a just-in-time manner.
