Lumintop Thor1 Spin Gyro LED flashlight review – Only the flashiest is worthy!

lumintop thor1gyro 6

REVIEW – The Lumintop Thor1 Spin Gyro LED flashlight is certainly the flashiest, most unique flashlight I’ve ever laid my hands on. I mean, look at it. If a flashlight and a disco ball had a baby, it would look just like this. It’s silver, it spins, it lights up, and even glows in the

Heybike Brawn fat tire electric bike review – A banger of an e-bike for the price

heybike brawnelectricbike review 1

REVIEW – When I reviewed my first e-bike, the TurboAnt Thunder T1, in 2021, I instantly became enamored with the world of e-bikes. After riding over 1700 miles on the Thunder T1, I decided it was time to explore other options in the e-bike market. That’s when I got a review offer for the Heybike

Costway 10000 BTU 4 in 1 AC 4 1

REVIEW – It is summer again, and it feels like the entire planet got hotter this year. I recently took the window AC out of my home office/studio and installed it in one of the windows of my living room to silence my kids’ complaints. Now my office is burning up and I need relief.

Bolton Velocity Off-Road Vehicle Cellular Signal Booster review – Reach out and touch someone from the middle of nowhere!

BoltonOffRoad Rev 004103853

REVIEW – The further I travel from civilization on my solo Overlanding adventures, the more I realize the importance of staying connected. It turns out though, remote places with beautiful scenic views often don’t get reliable cell service. Luckily, I was offered the chance to review a cell signal booster specifically designed for the Offroading/Overlanding

Huioe Kamvas 24 Pro 4K 16

REVIEW – Not only have I come to appreciate the broad selection of Huion pen tablets and pen displays, but I also depend on them in my daily work. My desktop contains two 24 in. Huion pen displays—the Huion Kamvas 24 Plus and now, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K). The 24 Plus has proven

Lockly Smart Safe review – One clever box

Lockly Smart Safe 12

REVIEW – During my time with the FBI, I remember the keycard access controllers were combined with the incredibly clever Hirsch ScramblePads. Think of your regular ATM keypad, but the numbers underneath the buttons change each time you enter your code. This increases security since it’s harder to “crack” the code just by fingerprint smudges

withings body comp 1

REVIEW – I have been using Withings scales every day to track my weight since I reviewed their first WiFi Body Scale back in 2010 and more recently, the Withings Body Cardio Scale that I reviewed in 2016. I find their scales to be excellent as far as reliability and ease of use. Can I

TOZO OpenReal True Wireless Earbuds review – Open ear comfort

tozo openreal true 10

REVIEW – I cannot wear “in ear” headphones. They just hurt too much! I even avoid the popular Apple AirPods. Besides bone conduction and traditional over-the-ear headphones, there’s this interesting middle ground of “air condition” headphones that sit just outside your ear. What is it? The TOZO OpenReal True Wireless Earbuds are a stereo, Bluetooth

Govee T2 TV Backlight 3

REVIEW – I have been looking at various companies and their TV backlight products for some time. I have an 85″ TV in my media area in my basement and I have always felt that backlighting the TV would produce a really nice effect. Over the past few years, I have reviewed several lighting products
