UPS Testing Truck-Launched Delivery Drone
The delivery via drone dream is a cool idea but has many hurdles to overcome. The biggest one is the range of said drones.

From jet boat to submarine in seconds. Fun starts a few seconds in… wait for it.

Custom Pickup Truck Tool Box Is Totally Hidden
The video above shows off one of the coolest pickup truck toolboxes ever. No more having your tools sliding around in the bed of your truck or having a large lock-box that alerts criminals to something of value.
