Retro Handheld Gaming Console
300 Games, One Pocket, Zero Downloads Some gadgets want your Wi-Fi, your account, and forty minutes of “just finishing the update.” This one wants two AA-adjacent minutes of charging (or batteries, depending on the pack) and a thumb. The portable handheld game console from GAMINJA is the little brick you remember, except the screen is […]
My Favorite EDC Knife? Klein Tools 44056D Electrician’s Pocket Knife
I know this Klein Tools Pocket Knife is targeted at electricians, which I am not, but I still love it. It centers on a ~2.99-inch sheepsfoot blade of high-carbon stainless steel that opens via a well-chamfered thumb hole and locks with an intuitive crossbar mechanism. The blade is sharp out of the box, holds an […]
Another Day, Another Fan – Shark ChillPill
Except this one’s not just another fan. Shark’s ChillPill is a modular 3-in-1 personal cooling system that tries to be your pocket-sized air conditioner for the great outdoors (or a farty stuffy subway). Launched in March 2026 and currently sitting at $149.99 on Amazon, it packs a high-speed bladeless fan, a dry-touch misting pod, and […]
Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan
The Dyson company has went from innovative and expensive vacuums to overpriced mediocre products. I have an old Dyson Vacuum and last year I bought an overpriced Dyson Hair Dryer ($450!) which I have replaced with a much cheaper/better hair dryer. Long story short, I believe Dyson has grown to an innovative products company to […]

Phoenix Portable Electric Percussion Massager
I was recently looking for a good portable percussion massager for sports therapy. I kept landing on the Theravolt massager but couldn’t quite stomach the $350 price tag. I eventually found the Phoenix version of a portable percussion massager and bought it. The Phoenix massager is pretty well built and works great for the $200 price. […]
Coin Purse Skull Thumper
Sure, technically it is a “coin purse” that has a couple of snaps so you can clip it on to your backpack or belt. But the EASYANT Coin Purse ($39) is also a “skull thumper” or self defense weapon similar to the old soap in the sock trick. You get the idea.
Best Portable Soldering Iron TS80
If you have ever needed a soldering iron while out in the field, away from wall power, you typically had to suffer with a subpar iron. For example, I used to carry the Weller P2KC which is a butane powered soldering iron. It is decent and has served me well. But I have found something […]
Panasonic Any Battery Light
Ever been stuck in the dark with a dead flashlight? I have. What I do recall is having every size and style of battery but the one that the flashlight needed. Panasonic has a new flashlight that will make it almost impossible to be without the right battery. The “Panasonic Any Battery Light will run on […]
