NEWS – Inevitably, while my husband is working on projects around the house, he stumbles upon a task that has a hard-to-reach screw. It’s frustrating to be hindered from completing a job by a simple but ill-placed screw! The SuperBit by Super Brand Tools aims to help the DIYer finish the project. It is a […]

REVIEW – The FreeTiger FT51 pocket knife is one sharp cookie – cutter. Sorry if I said that in a previous review, but I was immediately impressed with the sharpness of the blade on this knife and the ‘no cheap feel,’ knowing this knife costs under $30. How will it stand up to my normal

REVIEW – I love a clean floor, but I hate cleaning floors, so when something comes along that says it makes cleaning floors nearly “effortless,” I’m all in. Such is the claim of the Eureka New400 floor cleaner. It promises that you can both vacuum and mop at the same time, which could be a

NEWS – Am I the only one who thinks that new car colors are boring? White, black, silver, and some grey. Ugh. I’d love to be able to choose a custom car color without it costing a fortune, how about you? Over the last couple of years, E Ink and BMW have been working together

REVIEW – I am a recent convert to the world of cargo bikes (especially electric cargo bikes). I’ve tried out some models in the past but the huge bucket bikes all handled like whales, while other models were hit and miss for sizing, comfort, and cargo flexibility. Earlier this year, though, I was able to

REVIEW – Look at me, on vacation, carrying things! I’m testing the STM BagPack, a packable 15 liter backpack that you can stuff and pack for travel, then pull it our when you get to your destination. But this bag has another secret: it’s got an inflatable laptop sleeve if you need to haul your

REVIEW – We all have data that we need to protect, data like passwords, tax information, financial investments, social security and passport numbers, security clearance information, medical and dental records, and so on. It’s data that we don’t want anyone else to see, and we really don’t want it stolen and used for identity theft.

REVIEW – Typical in-ear earbuds are the pinnacle of portable sound, and can deliver an excellent listening experience. Though by design, they can make hearing what’s going on around you difficult. This isn’t great if you’re running or biking on the road, or in any environment where situational awareness is important. For a while bone

REVIEW – I wear reader glasses every day, pretty much all day. And I remove/place them on my head dozens of times every day. So because of that, the arms of the glasses are always becoming loose so I have to screw them back in, which requires a very small screwdriver. I also, from time

REVIEW – After testing a few Vosteed knives, I’ve become a big fan. I really like the design, quality, and affordability of their knives, but I have always wondered how they choose their knife names because they don’t seem to follow any rhyme or reason. When I saw the knife above, it reminded me of

NEWS – Notify for Smartwatches can elevate no-name smartwatches to a new level. I just reviewed two smartwatches back to back and both were brand names you probably don’t know. Those reviews will appear soon. The major problem with both watches was zero customize-ability to the vibrations they deliver. If you don’t notice one, single,

REVIEW – I’m on a never-ending, eternal quest to keep things organized. I’ve settled on small victories instead, such as this travel organizer from Inateck. Its clever clamshell design has a nook and cranny for almost anything. What is it? The Inateck Electronics Organizer Travel Case is a series of pouches designed to bring some

REVIEW – To overcome the limited screen real estate of most laptops, your options include investing in an expensive double-screen model, carrying a portable monitor, or using an expansion monitor like the SideTrak Swivel.

REVIEW – A galaxy or star projector has been on our wishlist for a while, as we have a toddler rapidly approaching the age where he’ll probably want a nightlight and/or be interested in the stars and planets. Govee offered their new Govee Galaxy Light Projector Pro for review, and it looked perfect for our
NEWS – The Stand One Max is the newest 3-in-1 charging device from Nomad. It is an elevated version of their popular Base One Max, which Julie Strietelmeier reviewed. The upright design features solid metal and glass for an elegant look. But this device is more than just pretty. It offers a lot of functionality.

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed a LOT of projectors here at The Gadgeteer, but I personally haven’t had the chance to try out a native 4K one yet (though I’ve tested some great 1080P models). The Paris Rhône 4K SP005 LCD Projector looked pretty similar to other one I just reviewed (the KJM K3 1080P projector)
REVIEW – Last year I reviewed Funwhole’s Lakeside Lodge, and it is probably my favorite building block set. It’s amazing how a good set of lights can really enhance the quality of a set, and no one knows how to light a set like Funwhole. I decided to review another set in this same genre
