REVIEW – One principle I’ve always lived by is that, just like good socks and underwear, one can never have too many hatchets. With PNW weather uncharacteristically great this summer, my hatchet-using opportunities have increased significantly, so it’s time to add to the family. While I still love my Gerber Bushcraft Hatchet that I reviewed

ARTICLE – This month (August 2024), The Gadgeteer officially turns 27 years old. Since I started the site in 1997, it’s given back so much to me.

REVIEW – Since the departure of the Philips Pronto and Logitech Harmony lines, there has been a substantial unfilled void in the consumer remote control market. I’ve explored a multitude of contenders seeking a comparable solution and was eager to look at SwitchBot’s new Universal Remote. Is it the “Harry Potter” of remote control wands?

REVIEW – Open ear air conduction earbuds are a fancy way of saying ‘directional earbud speaker’, but their capabilities are surprising. I’m digging further into this new trend of portable audio bliss with the latest flagship by OpenRock – the X earbud. It’s a premium offering, and we’ll see if it’s worth the premium price.

REVIEW – I started a new job a couple of years ago. Trust me, it was for the better. This new job, however, requires I go out on construction sites which means I need PPE (personal protective equipment). One of the items I needed was steel or comp toe boots. So, I researched online and

REVIEW – Vosteed is back with another knife. Shocking, I know. This time they’re following their excellent Raccoon pocket knife with a baby version, the Raccoon Cub. Get it? Baby version? Never mind.
