REVIEW – The Scriveiner Black Green Fountain Pen is from a manufacturer that claims to be “UK’s leading luxury pen brand”. These Brits use some German parts, and wisely so.

REVIEW – I don’t carry what most women consider a purse, but I do like to use a small crossbody bag to hold my essentials (EDC) when I’m running around in town doing errands or when traveling. I don’t need a lot of gear with me, so I prefer a small bag like the MAGEASY

REVIEW – I own several power banks, but I always seem to be looking for one that’s charged and ready to go. Additionally, most of the power banks I’ve accumulated are not fast chargers and seem to take forever with the newer fast-charge devices. The UGREEN 300W 48000mAh Power Bank came up for review and

REVIEW – I have the worst luck with indoor plants. No matter what I do they eventually give up and die on me! I have had some plants last as long as a year, and then they mysteriously wither up and die on me. I know it must be a combination of insufficient light, too

REVIEW – While I continually look for ways to simplify my overlanding gear, I’ve found that a lot of compromises need to be made. With limited space and payload, weight and portability are prime considerations for everything I bring along. Always complicating matters is the unknown quotient of food and cooking supplies. Cooking fuel, in

REVIEW – Growing up in the South, I was surrounded by men carrying a pocket knife. There was my Dad, his 5 brothers, and all my older cousins. If you asked one of them if they had a knife on them, inevitably you’d get the answer, I’ve got my pants on, don’t I? My Dad
REVIEW – Years ago, I thought about getting an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner—until my wife squashed that idea like a bug. Her objections were quite valid at the time. We have dogs—and dogs sometimes have accidents. There were too many stories of robot vacuums covering the floor with those accidents. So we relied on vacuuming

REVIEW – The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro smartwatch / fitness watch is very well made. Mobvoi is now considered a mainstream brand name so there’s no ‘knockoff’ copying going on here.

REVIEW – If you have a family with kids, then on a regular basis you have to inflate something. And if you are like me, over the years you have collected a bunch of different types of air pumps. Those old school air pumps where you put your feet on the bottom, grab the handle

REVIEW – Riding a bike on the road gives me anxiety sometimes, especially in areas without dedicated bike lanes and with narrow shoulders. Knog approached The Gadgeteer about doing a review and after looking over their products, the Blinder 1300 and Mid Cobber Rear bike light set really stood out to me. What immediately stood
REVIEW – A few months ago, I had the opportunity to review the Keychron Q10 Max keyboard and I was immediately a fan of the brand. I had no complaints except that I am a heavy user of the number pad and that keyboard does not have one. Keychron responded by allowing me to test

REVIEW – A pocket screwdriver? What’s wrong with the screwdriver on your multi-tool? For one thing, your multi-tool probably doesn’t feature a ratchet, and definitely isn’t as satisfying as a fidget-thing. What is it? The MetMo Pocket Driver is a compact ratcheting screwdriver with built-in bit storage. It’s a smaller version of the MetMo driver
