REVIEW – Things are not what they seem here! The TIZAG Customizable Digital Canvas iPhone Case enables you to customize that picture on the back panel, no bluetooth or battery required! How is this sorcery possible? Let’s learn more. To the review! What is it? The TIZAG is an iPhone case with an NFC-powered digital […]
REVIEW – I have lived in Florida for almost my entire life. One thing I’ve never gotten used to is the hurricane season and the power outages that come with it. Thankfully, we’ve never had a devastating storm wipe us out like many in our state. We’ve talked about getting a whole-home generator in every

REVIEW – Earlier this year I reviewed another vehicle scan tool that was packed with features. The rich graphical interface was delightful, but the older Android OS and confusing layout didn’t make for the most pleasant experience. The Innova 5610 is another scan tool that takes a different approach with a text-heavy display, real buttons,

REVIEW – As we come into the holiday (and eating!) season, a lot of people will be paying attention to their weight, myself included. I’m a competitive athlete, but tend toward the “big boned” side of things. So I need to pay attention to my body composition and distribution of muscle and fat to ensure

REVIEW – The X-Tech Ultimate is the latest product from X-Chair. You may recognize X-Tech from their television advertisements. These are premium office chairs that come with a price tag to match. I have always been curious about how comfortable a high-end chair could be, so I decided to review the X-Chair X-Tech Ultimate Executive

REVIEW – I do love a square-shaped flat flashlight. They’re more pocket-friendly. Now, Jetbeam has released another multi-mode EDC light that combines a bright LED, a green laser, and UV! What is it? The Jetbeam E26 is powered by a Luminus SFT40 LED rated at 2000 lumens output (though the included paperwork lists 1700 lumens). It

REVIEW – The cynical side of me just loves it when a product is hyped to be something it isn’t—and yet is. Reviews of the Brane X speaker from Brane Audio have touted how it “bends the laws of physics” with its ability to supply bass that was only possible from much larger speakers. Heck,

REVIEW – Backfire recently held a crowdfunded campaign for the NALU E-Skateboard, a new option that I thought looked like a great addition to the family fleet. The NALU E-Skateboard has some great features such as a gallium nitride battery, easy handheld controller, and a beautiful design. Since I am not a skateboarder I was
Backfire NALU E-Skateboard Review – Beautiful and sturdy design Read More
REVIEW – This past summer, I spent much time remodeling my garage turning the back half into a gym and the front half into my new workshop. My remodeling included some insulation, but it still gets cold in the winter, and I want to work on projects all year. I need a wall-mounted garage heater

REVIEW – Magnets are awesome, right? Well, I’ve been using MagSafe on my iPhone, and it’s led me to discover some really cool accessories that make using my phone a breeze. One of my favorites is the JOYROOM MagSafe Airplane Phone Holder. It’s a great example of how magnets can make a big difference in

REVIEW – I recently had the chance to try out Gerber Custom, a new tool on the Gerber Gear website that lets you design a customized knife or multi-tool that Gerber will then build and send to you. The design process was simple and fun, and I was impressed with the number of customization options
REVIEW – Pressure cookers are not new technology, but it has been interesting to watch how the cooking scene has changed since the Insta-Pot came out. An all-in-one cooking solution that does more than just pressure cooking, the concept has become widely popular. The Midea WideMax 12-in-1 pressure cooker is built on that concept and

REVIEW – A little over a year ago I reviewed the Alpha Pro, an Over-The-Counter hearing aid from Elehear. At the time, OTC hearing aids were still pretty new and the Alpha Pro at $999 was up to 5x less expensive than hearing aids bought through the traditional audiologist route. A lot has changed in
REVIEW – I like the Groove Life Groove Belt that I reviewed back in 2020 so much that it became my daily belt. But I always wished there was a leather version available. Boom! Groove Belt Max Leather! Let’s check it out! What is it? The Groove Belt Max Leather is an adjustable, stretchable authentic

REVIEW – Funwhole has been on a tear lately, recently releasing a wide variety of building block sets with lights. In my personal opinion, they are the #1 competitor to LEGO, and they continue to release great sets in a variety of themes. One of the newest sets in their Steampunk series is the City

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a handful of portable projectors now, but so far none of them have passed the “watching a Lord of the Rings Extended Edition on battery test”, of which movies the Return of the King runs a whopping four hours and one minute! I know most people aren’t watching 4 hours of
REVIEW – Miniature vehicles, including trains, have always been a favorite of mine since childhood. Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars especially. As I aged, my interest in all things remote control (RC) has developed. I recently reviewed an RC boat and loved it. Now I’m reviewing an RC car from the same company. The DEERC
REVIEW – Your phone is likely the last thing you use before going to bed and one of the first things you check after waking up. A good bedside charger is a must have. If you’re also running an Apple Watch and AirPods; well you’re going to want a 3-in-1 charger to keep things simple.

REVIEW – Fun holiday gathering post dinner/pre dessert discussion topic: Does every appliance now need to be “smart”? I have a “smart” carpet cleaner and I have exactly zero idea why it needed to be smart; now I have an app that tells me when it’s on or when the water is low, two very

REVIEW – A few years ago when I first purchased my home, there was a relatively large lawn in the back and a small lawn in the front. I hate mowing and I soon convinced my wife to create a 100% hardscape in the backyard, eliminating the lawn. We still have the lawn in front,
