Just in time for Mother’s Day, I needed to tackle a few chores around my own mother’s house. One of those jobs included the long-overdue pressure washing of her back patio—it was full of dirt, mold, and grime.????

I admit it: I have a secret obsession with portable lights. I’ve got a bunch of tactical/EDC flashlights that I rotate through all the time (I guess I should review some of those, huh?) and several larger but still somewhat compact work lights—like my favorite, the Milwaukee M18 Radius that we reviewed a while back. … Read more
