3M Worktunes Headphones AM/FM Radio Review
I do a lot of outdoor work, and it’s nice to listen to the radio or my trusty iPhone music […]
Milwaukee M12 Heated Jacket Kit 2331 Preview
One of the oddest, but strangely compelling products we saw at the 2010 Milwaukee New Tools Press Event was their M12 Cordless Heated Jacket. A battery powered jacket? Oh yeah – and why not, with much of the country (our own Florida excepted) having to deal with freezing temperatures, snow and all manner of uncomfortable working environments. While we don’t envision needing this too often in Southern climates, the jacket was really an effective solution that made unique and clever use of the existing M12 battery technology.

Crossfire Protective Eyewear Review
Whoever said that safety glasses look dorky obviously never saw the safety glasses that Crossfire Protective Eyewear produces. Their glasses offer the looks of high-end sunglasses but with ANSI-level bullet-proof safety features. They are literally bullet-proof, at least according to their literature. With a claim like that, we definitely had to take these to the shooting range just to see how well they performed.
Outback Big Stick Flashlight Review
Outback Flashlights just came out with three new models of super power flashlights; Big Stick, Mongo & Joey. These lights feature Cree LED light sources and put out up to 120 Lumens of light. Not only do they really shine bright, they also feature quality anodized aluminum construction, gasketed joints and will not break the bank.
Global Gloves Samurai Series Review
If your projects involve working with sheet metal, glass, knives or anything sharp, then you need to start using some cut resistant gloves. These new Samurai Series gloves from Global Gloves are made with Taeki 5 yarn, and what makes them so unique is the level of protection they offer with all the dexterity and tactile sensitivity you need.
Edge Dakura Safety Glasses with Blue Mirror Lenses Review
With premium features that won’t break the bank, Edge Dakura Blue Mirror Lens Safety Glasses provide the protection you need in a look that is more on par with high end sporty sun glasses. Things like a scratch resistant coating and anti-fog treatment to the polycarbonate lens is what helps to set these apart from what you might expect for safety glasses.

Ryobi RP4400 Tek4 LED Flashlight Review
its Tek4 4400 High Intensity LED Flashlight. While not as bright as a competing 12V version we handled from a competitor, it’s also just half the price – and half the weight! The Tek4 4400 weighs in at just under 7 ounces and will run for 6 hours straight. That’s one heck of a worklight! The light turns on by twisting the neck of the flash light. It’s pretty much all or nothing. We liked the light output we got from this work light. It was bright and a more-or-less “white” light, whereas incandescents are typically a very “yellow” white.
DeWalt Protector Safety Glasses Review
Safety glasses. If you do any kind of projects around the house – be it woodworking, tile, or any kind of remodeling – you need a decent pair of safety glasses. Dewalt’s DPG54-1C safety glasses do several things right: they fit well, they don’t distort what comes through the lenses and they wrap around the sides for ample protection. Now, with that said, I have a very small head and they fit me just fine. For larger heads these glasses may come up a bit short and may be a tad too tight over the ears.
