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
A few weeks ago, the dreaded Check Engine light came on in my Jeep for the first time (it’s a 2013). Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and I checked a few of the more common issues many Jeepers report seeing from time-to-time but to no avail. Instead of letting my brother-in-law charge me an arm … Read more

But for the homeowner/DIY-er who just needs to clean the patio, family car or fence once in a while, some of the larger, more expensive machines can be overkill. In fact, more power could equate to material … Read more
Not only am I a gearhead (sorta), I’m also a total geek. I was banging out code, building gaming computers and bustin’ out electronic music before the graphical web even existed. Okay, so I’m an old geek. ? Er… what’s the correlation here?!? Back then, I blew through a TON of canned air (pun intended). I … Read more
