HOTO Laser Measure Pro: Tape Measure Energy, Laser Swagger
Your uncle’s metal tape measure is honest, loud, and refuses to sync with anything. The HOTO Laser Measure Pro is the opposite energy: a pocket laser distance tool good for up to about 164 ft / 50 m, with a colorful screen, app memory, and enough industrial-design swagger to live in an EDC tray. Expect […]
HOZO NeoSander: Kickstarter’s Palm-Sized Sander Goes Mainstream
Support scars on a 3D print have ruined more Saturday nights than bad streaming recommendations. The HOZO NeoSander is the Kickstarter-famous palm sander that finally walked onto Amazon after a $2M+ campaign — a fat-marker-sized reciprocating detail tool aimed at prints, models, and craft edges your orbital sander laughs at. Unlike a Dremel that […]
The James Brand Helton Multitool: Slim, Locking, Sold Out Already
Every few years somebody tries to out-Swiss the Swiss Army knife. Most of those attempts end up chunky, plasticky, or weirdly eager to stab your jeans. The James Brand Helton is the rare one that feels like a grown-up answer: slim as a pack of gum, all-metal, and picky about which tools actually earn a […]
Heck, This Gadget Might Actually Make Cleaning the BBQ Grill Fun
Let’s be honest: the best part of any barbecue is the food, the beer, the company, and that perfect sear. The worst part? Scrubbing the grill afterward. Elbow grease, stiff brushes that shed, burnt-on residue that laughs at your efforts—it’s the chore that can turn a great cookout into a reluctant cleanup session. Enter the […]
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 […]

Turn Your 5-Gallon Bucket Into A Cordless Shop Vac – The Ryobi Wet/Dry Bucket Vacuum Kit
Picture this: you’ve got a standard plastic bucket (the kind that’s probably already lurking in your garage, under the sink, or holding last year’s Halloween decorations). Slap this lightweight lid-like unit on top, click in an 18V ONE+ battery, and boom—you’ve got a portable wet/dry vacuum. No dedicated canister taking up floor space, no cord […]
The StepRanger All-Terrain: Your New Favorite Toy That Also Happens to Be Ridiculously Useful
Let’s be honest. Most “utility” gear is all business and zero joy. Wheelbarrows? Soul-crushing. Full-size trucks for every little job? Overkill and a pain to maneuver. Then there’s the StepRanger —the original electric micro-truck that hauls a full half-ton in a package so narrow it slips through a standard garden gate. At just 31 inches […]
Magnespot XR1000-K2 Drill Hole Locator – Black Magic!
Who knew this magic little gadget even existed? Not me. Amazing to say the least.
Taming the Metal Shaving Mess With A 180 LB On/Off Switch Magnet Is a Chop Saw Game-Changer
If you’ve ever fired up a chop saw (or abrasive cutoff saw) to slice through steel, aluminum, or other ferrous metals, you know the drill: the satisfying cut is followed by a chaotic spray and pile of sharp, hot metal shavings everywhere. They scatter across the floor, get tracked into the house, clog shop vacs, […]
