Giraffe Tools Grandfalls Pressure Washer review – Powerful spiffy cleaning without the setup fuss!

GiRAFFE Tools 31

They perform very well cleaning up a muddy or bug-goo-covered vehicle, keeping a garage floor squeaky clean, or flushing a hard winter’s grime away from vinyl siding, but… setting them up can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Thankfully, Giraffe Tools has addressed nearly all of

SnapFresh Cordless Leaf Blower review – a handy, lightweight wind-maker

SNAPFRESH 2

REVIEW – The SnapFresh BBT-ZE20BW leaf blower is the lightest blower I’ve tried. The blowing power and working time from a single charge did not disappoint.
