NEWS – I’ve been there – you know – watching my kids play soccer on a cold and blustery day. My tush would have thanked me had I bought a Gobi Heat Terrain Heated Camping Chair. This collapsible steel-frame chair provides nine hours of heating time via two zones and charges in about 3-4 hours.
REVIEW – The weather is starting to warm up here in Michigan, but I still had time to check out Venustas Men’s 3-in-1 Heated Jacket. Read on to see if the Venustas jacket could stand up to the mid-west winter! What is it? The Venustas Men’s 3-in-1 Heated Jacket is a battery-powered heated jacket with

REVIEW – I enjoy designing the landscape lighting around my home all year round. However, because of the NY winters, I tend to take a break when it is really cold and when there is snow. So from about right after Christmas to early Spring, I do not indulge very much. Now we are rapidly

REVIEW – Last year we put up our holiday lights on Halloween and took them down on Valentine’s Day. Our 5-year-old projector switches from ghosts to snowflakes to dots. But it’s always kind of a letdown that we only get Christmas colors (red and green). So when the Govee RGBICWW LED smart outdoor flood lights

REVIEW – The only thing I like better than a gadget doing something really well is a gadget that does 2 things really well! The $36.99 Ocoopa hand warmer does exactly that… warms your hands. But it also doubles as a 10,000 mAh power bank with 2 output ports to charge 2 devices simultaneously. This is

NEWS – I have a confession to make. I’ve never been sledding before. I’ve skied (badly), but I’ve never been on a sled. This is mainly because it was completely flat around my house where I grew up, so sledding just wasn’t a thing. My sledding days are past me at this point, but if

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. Heavier hand-held blowers can be fatiguing either from their weight, the blow-back resistance, or both. The SnapFresh was pleasant to use in that it was not tiring to use.

NEWS – Like a lot of preteens, my boys stopped wearing winter coats around the time they hit middle school. Didn’t matter how cold it got, a hooded sweatshirt was the best they would agree to. Last year, in my motherly angst, I dropped about $100 on a big-name workwear hoodie for one of them

REVIEW – Here we go again with another Litheli product test and review. This time around, I am checking out the LitheLi 40V Cordless Brushless Snowblower. Last winter I shoveled through at least 3 sizeable snowstorms, and I vowed that I would not do the same this year. In early October of this year, Litheli

REVIEW – The Denqir Mini Chainsaw is made for limb pruning and small tree cutting when loppers aren’t powerful enough for the task. But it can cut wood up to about 3”-5” diameter, depending on which blade is attached. With two rechargeable batteries included in the kit you could cut a lot of wood before

REVIEW – Thus far I have been very successful at remodeling my basement and one specific reason is that I am a guy who believes in having just about every relevant tool and a few that may not be relevant but can be invaluable when trying to do something slightly “irregular” or outside of the

NEWS – The Omniblade from Teryx is a 4-in-1 multi-tool for your outdoor adventures. It is made of hardened steel and has a paracord-wrapped handle on both ends. Grip it one way and you can use it as a saw or machete to slash your way through the underbrush on your next jungle expedition. Then
This multi-tool will let you chop, slash, saw, and hammer Read More
REVIEW – One thing I’m fond of is multi-tools. If I have a tool in my vehicle, backpack, or camping box, I always prefer that it have more than one function if possible. The Adventure Mate 5-in-1 multi-tool is just such a multi-purpose tool, but let’s see how it performs. What is it? The Adventure

REVIEW – When I first moved into my new home, it was the middle of winter and the ground was filled with tons of leaves from the 4 big trees in the backyard. By the time spring came around and the snow melted, I realized that I just had too many projects on my plate

NEWS – When backpack space is at a premium, the Gerber Freescape folding camp saw collapses flat without the need to remove parts. It features a 12 inch blade that is easily replaceable with any 12 inch blade on the market. That’s right, Gerber won’t make you buy some weird proprietary blade. Thanks Gerber. The

REVIEW – We’ve lived in our current home for over 20yrs and in that time, we’ve never put up Christmas lights. Why? Probably the main reason is that I don’t have outdoor power receptacles and have not wanted to run extension cords into the garage. Is there a solution? You bet there is. It’s Venusop

REVIEW: The Ryobi RY40407VNM 40 Volt Cordless Jet Fan Leaf Blower is a ‘uni-tasker’. It simply blows stuff from where it is, to where you want it to be. This is the first Ryobi tool I’ve handled and it has me thinking about other 40 volt Ryobi tools since they all use the same battery.
NEWS – Oh my gosh, I hate raking leaves, so much so, I don’t get to it most years. When I saw the Amazing Rake Ergonomic 3-in-1 Garden Rake, I thought, “Now there’s someone who hates it just as much as I do, but found a clever way to make it much less painful. Yay!”
