REVIEW – Most of us have spent our entire lives using gasoline or corded electric lawn tools. I had infamously bad gas lawnmowers when I was a kid, where you had to yank the starter cord 10 or more times with all your kid-strength to get it going, then you had the hassle of mixing
REVIEW – I used to think that when you went for a hike, any comfortable backpack would do. That is, until I went on a longer, more intense day trip with a normal backpack. My shoulders were sore and my back was covered in sweat. Since then, I’ve been using backpacks made for hikes, and

REVIEW – If you’re a golfer, you know the horror of trying to put on a crinkly, dry, cracked golf glove. How do they get this way? When you golf, your hand sweats, and that golf glove absorbs it, allowing you to keep that correct grip and par the hole. After your round, you crush

REVIEW – Sleep is one of the most important things we all do every day. Sleep is also one of the things many of us struggle with every day. For many of us, having some sort of masking sound that covers all those other sounds helps promote better sleep. Mintal is offering its vision for

REVIEW – As I’ve mentioned before, I live in a neighborhood more rural than urban, where there aren’t many streetlights. I want a flashlight that’s powerful enough to light up any part of my yard, should something unknown happen. I had hoped that the UT90 Predator from IMALENT would be that light, but it died

REVIEW – Lighting can really set off a house. Nice exterior lighting washing up or down a wall or highlighting a landscaping feature adds that wow factor. One of the problems is that if you want to control multiple lights as a group, they typically have to be connected together. This can create a wiring

REVIEW – MagSafe charging for iPhone has been out for a while now and it works really well. Apple’s charger is pretty slim, packs easily for travel and all but guarantees location on your phone when it’s time to charge. There’s lots of options out there when you’d rather have a dock, but they typically
