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

REVIEW—From January to June 11, 2024 (Yep, this year, Gadgeteers), FEMA reported 1071 fire fatalities in the USA. I’m sorry to sound harsh; not having smoke and carbon monoxide detectors is reckless and stupid. If you don’t have them in your home, apartment, domicile, shack, barn, or shed, please get one like X-Sense’s updated SC01-W
REVIEW – I’ve always been a backpack man whether going back and forth to the office or traveling for work. I had one for my laptop and other office-related paraphernalia. I also had one for my good camera, lenses, etc. They were fine and did the job. Then I went remote and only needed them

REVIEW – The POWERΛDD PRO 65W Laptop Power Bank is a convenient palm-full of power at an accessible price. It won’t overpower a briefcase, backpack or desktop with its weight or footprint. PowerΛdd puts ‘laptop’ in its name but it’ll charge phones, flashlights and other devices quickly as well. What is it? The POWERΛDD PRO

REVIEW – I’m continuing to build out my “adventure vehicle” for longer road trips. I have a power station, a portable refrigerator, and a few compact camp chairs. What I don’t have is a way to heat drinks or snacks. I was intrigued by the Stoke Voltaics Kettle Pot because I didn’t need a whole
