REVIEW – On short trips, flying with a carry-on bag in lieu of checked luggage is a great way to save time and money – while mitigating the risk of your stuff arriving at a different destination. Rollerboards and spinner bags have been a staple of air travel, but can be a literal drag when […]

REVIEW – Every year, as soon as the weather starts to get warm in the Northeast of the US, I start barbecuing. This has become a custom since I bought my home and quickly realized that my family needs to take full advantage of the backyard and the short Suner season. With something going on

REVIEW – I’ve used solar pathway lights to light up our sidewalk and have solar lights on our front porch to add some flair to the house when it’s dark. I like using solar lights because I don’t have to worry about running electricity to the lights. Sunlight does all the work for me. But

REVIEW – It seems like most of the activities I’m involved with involve mud. Caving, mountain biking, and trail running can get you very dirty, often far from any “normal” places where you could clean up. Additionally, you usually end up with muddy gear. This leaves me with the option to drive home sweaty and

REVIEW – Some years ago, I had a snowblower with a gas engine of a similar size and shape to the Worx in this review. It was frequently frustrating and a pain in the patoot to start. The fuel smelled awful, stalled at the most inopportune times, and I damaged my rotator cuff trying to

REVIEW – If you’re a dog owner, you know it’s important to physically and mentally stimulate your pup regularly. I recently got to test out a toy that does both: the iFetch Ball Launcher. What is it?

REVIEW – It would be ridiculous if they weren’t so useful. I’m referring to the mind-boggling selection of power stations available today. Large, small, and everything in between, power stations deliver juice in spades to our power-hungry gadgets. This review covers the Ugreen PowerRoam 2200 Portable Power Station. It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s powerful and

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Ortur Laser Master 3 laser engraver that used an open frame design and although I did like it there were a few shortcomings. The open design meant I had to keep my garage doors open for ventilation but also curious kids kept wanting to look at the bare laser

REVIEW – Five years after reviewing my first string of LED lights from Twinkly, I got to play with a new strand called Dots.

REVIEW – I previously reviewed Longer’s 30W B1 with air assist (read it here) and have loved it since. The combination of raw power, ultra-fast cutting, and air assist made it the go-to machine for engraving and cutting. They’ve released an even more powerful version, topping at 48 watts for the fastest results. Please join
REVIEW – I’ve had a black cowhide leather jacket for about 30 years and really like it, but I have been wondering if it’s time for an upgrade. When the FJackets Women’s Real Leather Black Biker Jacket came up for review, I was allowed to review it. How does it compare to my old jacket?

REVIEW – Once again, we are back into the winter season in NY, and unlike last winter, it is cold. The house that I purchased in 2020 was built in the late 1940s, and I have found that there are a couple of rooms that have radiators that are undersized and do not provide adequate
