If you have ever used a TENS machine (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) for sore muscles or rehabilitation you know how helpful they can be. My only gripe with my current TENS unit is all of the cables and the complicated menu system. I sill like my current system, just think…
The last thing you want to think about when walking around in the dark with a flashlight is bumping into a scary nut-job. But if you do, you better hope your flashlight is an UltraFire Tactical Self Defense Torch ($27) which comes equipped with spikes and an audible alarm. The…
Leatherman continues to innovate with their coolest multi-tool yet, the Tread. The Leatherman Tread is a wearable multi-tool that is worn on the wrist, aka a bracelet. The Leatherman Tread is made of 17-4 steel which is both high strength and corrosion resistant. How many tools can you pack on…

I am typically not a fan of the bulky external back up batteries because, well they are bulky. Not too mention they require you to bring your charging cable along for the ride as well. But if I lived in a place with cold winters I might consider this double…
The FoodSaver name has been around for a long time and they have some great home vacuum system for keeping food and or supplies fresh. The idea is quite simple, use an airtight bag and remove most of the air via a vacuum. This process allows food, and general supplies…
