REVIEW – There’s not a lot worse than having to pay for air to inflate the tires on your car or bike. Not to mention finding a place that has an air pump these days. I own a portable inflator, it is nice, but it needs to be plugged into your car’s 12V outlet. That […]

REVIEW – Sometime last year I called my plumber and asked him to take a look at my sewer pipes to make sure that all is well. I made this request because the home I purchased 2 years ago was built in the late 1940s and I have a strong suspicion that many of the

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, I tested and reviewed the Depstech DS350 Dual-Lens Endoscope. I enjoyed using it and it was helpful with some of my tasks including looking inside wiring conduits and printers, etc. Imagine my joy when they sent yet another model for me to test and review. This time it is

REVIEW – As DIYer and a gadget nerd, I am constantly fixing things and taking them apart, and in many cases, I wish that I could see around corners to help me with what I am working on, rather than guess what could be hidden away from my view. An endoscope is a great tool

REVIEW – Since purchasing my home, I have been remodeling my basement space by space. The remodeling has included removing paneling that was installed by the previous owner of the house, and replacing it with metal studs, insulation, and sheetrock.

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

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.

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 – 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
