One of the weird quirks of working from home and owning a lot of cars is that I might go a month or a few between driving a specific vehicle. This is especially true in the winter, when I just won't drive my favorite cars at all to keep them out of the road salt. Many of my vehicles don't have the privilege of sipping from a battery tender. Yet, when I'm ready, the cars fire up when it's time to drive.
If you don't want to spend much, you can get its most basic model, which we've recommended many times. That one comes with 25 bits, and has three levels of torque for $29.99 (usually $59.99). But if you want more power and versatility, its PixelDrive model might be the better option.
The Clean+Wash Hygiene tweaks the way debris is collected. It still has a dirty-water tank and a debris tray, but it keeps both in the head of the device rather than cycling dirty water back up into a separate tank on the cleaner. Disposal looks similar to the old device, with the user still needing to empty both the dirty water and the debris tray, but removal of these items can happen at the same time.
When it comes to finding the best vacuums on Amazon, our editors are seasoned pros. We've been testing every model on the market from the most sought-after cordless vacuums to robot vacuums for years now, including longtime best-sellers as well as new and notable picks from names like Dyson, Levoit, and Eufy.
This is the best-looking power bank we've tried, and the price comes within $10 of the lowest we've tracked. The transparent housing and triangle shape are cool, but the battery also performs well, with a 24,000-mAh capacity, a maximum output of 170 watts, and even a little bit of water resistance.
Living in Cleveland, winters can be brutal with lake-effect snow and frigid temperatures. So in the winter of 2021, I bought myself a two-stage snow thrower. The model did a great job until I pulled it out of the shed to prep for a recent storm...and it wouldn't start. I struggled mightily with the pull cord before remembering it had an electric start.
The Unix UX-1519 NEOM power bank is different as it takes industrial design into the mix of solid functionality, often customary to a battery bank. The 10,000mAh battery bank for your power-hungry gadgets delivers 22.5W fast charging for compatible devices, never letting you down when on-the-go.
The latest in the wings? Bosch's new vacuum featured at this year's CES. The Bosch Unlimited 10 ($699) stands out for incorporating two features from two popular vacuum brands: Dyson and Shark. The Unlimited 10 can fold in the middle of the long stick that connects the head to the motor, as a Shark PowerDetect can, and it has a compression lever for the dustbin to compress debris, like the new Dyson Piston Animal will when it launches this year.
These unassuming pliers replaced my multitool for a fraction of the cost But sometimes there's a tool that completely changes the way you work, and you wonder why it took you so long to get one. This is how I feel about my Stanley Maxsteel MultiAngle Base Vise . It's an invaluable tool that goes a long way for me in the workshop.
I've spent a lot of money on multitools over the years. That's because I like the idea of a single tool that serves many functions, and partly because no single tool is ideal. Furthermore, there's a small bit of me that just loves new, shiny things. But ultimately, multitools all fall short in one way or another. Also: This $7 cable is secretly the most useful thing in my tech bag Too bulky.
Repair and assembly are usually framed as chores, tasks to be completed as quickly as possible, so we can move on to something more enjoyable. The bi:ts tool challenges this perception by transforming the act of tightening a screw into something closer to play. Instead of feeling like labor, the experience becomes tactile, intuitive, and surprisingly satisfying. At the heart of the product is a joystick-inspired interface, borrowed from the language of game controllers.
A reliable handheld vac is still a good option for cleaning everything from car seats to stairs, which is why the current $65 discount on Fanttik's Fold V10 Apex is worth pointing out. Normally $149.99, it's now on sale at Amazon for $85.49, which matches the vac's best price to date.
They do nothing to save you power Scam "power saving" devices are rampant online. These devices plug into an outlet and promise to "improve the use of energy," "extend the life of electrical equipment," and even "avoid illegal electrical waste." Sounds great, right? Also: This USB power meter I tested is shockingly accurate - especially for how cheap it is Well, despite the bold claims and the sticker on the front of the unit, they are too good to be true.
