REVIEW – With the current supply chain issues and the general rising cost of goods and services, there has been a lot of focus lately on the “right to repair” for consumers. I’m a huge DIY advocate especially when it comes to automotive repairs but I’m often limited in what I can do by the …
NEWS – I live in the woods which means I have trees and brush all around my yard. Keeping my yard neat and tidy could be a full-time job, but the job can get easier with some special tools. The Hooyman Extendable Tree Saw is a 5 foot saw that folds down to a 12 …

Worx 20V Power Share 7.25″ Cordless Sliding Compound Miter Saw review Read More
REVIEW – Highly accurate measurements help everything from cooking and mixology to engine performance, aircraft stabilization, and a host of other engineering tasks. For physical measurements of objects, it’s hard to beat a set of Vernier Calipers. I was sent a set of digital Vernier calipers from Qfun to test, and have been measuring all …
REVIEW – Since everyone who reads my reviews already knows that I am remodeling a basement, I will not go into those details. Everyone also already knows that I believe in having every tool necessary for the job and as such, I have quite an extensive tool selection relevant to my DIY projects and tasks. …

REVIEW – Every once in a while, a product comes along that is amazingly innovative, eminently practical, and fills a mighty need. I’m my family’s go-to guy for all things technical and have long sought a meter that can be unobtrusively carried. The Volty voltmeter by PC Doodle lets me do just that! Volty, where …
UPDATE – Read our full Volty voltmeter review. NEWS – Garrison Keillor once said, “The curse of the handyman [or person] is that when someone asks you to look at something, they really don’t want you to just look at it – they want you to do something about it.” I’m that guy with my …

REVIEW – I previously had the opportunity (several years ago) to review the Bosch GLM 50 C laser measuring tool. Six years later, it still works great and it is my go-to laser measuring tool. But considering that it might be time for an upgrade, I jumped at the chance to try the MEAZOR 6-In-1 …

REVIEW – For some time now I have been writing about my DIY work in my new home and my DIY skills. I have also repeated that I fully believe that the end product and result directly depend on having the right tools for the job. In many instances, having the right tool as a …

REVIEW – Useful for cutting, grinding, and polishing, an angle grinder is one of those indispensable tools that belong in every do-it-yourselfer’s arsenal. The Greenworks angle grinder is a 24V cordless unit with a brushless motor that spins 4-1/2-inch tools up to 10500 RPM. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think! …
NEWS – Ryobi recently announced a new rechargeable battery that will power a line of handheld tools. The battery is a 2 AH lithium-ion battery that is rechargeable with USB-C, much like the battery in my Cyansky K3 flashlight. The primary benefit seems to be that a custom battery charger would not be required; any …
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 – I love crafting! I own a Cricut and it allows me to do most things, with the exception of engraving. I have looked into purchasing an engraving machine because of all the additional options, but never pulled the trigger. When the opportunity came to test out the Dewallie LA-400 Laser Engraving Machine, there …
REVIEW – I’m constantly measuring things in my workshop. I’ve been using a dime store plastic caliper for decades now, but just to get in the ballpark. Small rulers are getting harder for my eyes to read. Perhaps the Qfun 6 inch digital caliper with LCD display will find a home with me! What is …
