Tek4 Utility Light Hero 250 175

Ryobi Tek4 Utility Light Review When the Ryobi Tek4 Utility Light (RP4410) first arrived for review, I wasn’t sure it was all that and a bag of chips… I mean it was cute and all, but it was a little light no bigger than my hand.  I should have known that good things come in [...]

I have not come across one of the Tek4 tools so far that I have not liked, and the Ryobi Tek4 LED Hi-Beam Flashlight is no exception.  If you read other reviews online, you’ll see that I’m not alone.  And, as I’ve said in past Tek4 reviews, once you get the batteries and pick up [...]

Ryobi Tek4 Portable Power Source RP4900 – Tool Review

Tek4 PPS Hero 200

Now, more than ever, our phones are our lifelines.  We use them constantly and we are lost without them.  And while it may sound a bit dramatic, we start to panic when the battery starts to die; we have no way to continue our work day without stopping to recharge. I am not a contractor, [...]

Ryobi Tek4 Flashligh RP4400 Hero 200

Ryobi RP4400 LED Flashlight This is not going to be the lengthiest review that you’ve ever read, because there’s really nothing negative to say about this little flashlight.  It’s a compact flashlight (about 4 ½”) but it packs a powerful punch.  It’s pretty simplistic in design… just an off –on switch.It runs on the Tek4 [...]

RIDGID® FUEGO 6 1/2” Compact Framing Circular Saw (R3203) – Tool Review

Ridgid Fuego Circular Saw 200

This week I had the pleasure of reviewing a brand new FUEGO 6 ½” CIRCULAR SAW BY RIDGID.  I was already familiar with the tool, and in fact I’ve used the tool over the past 5 years, so I probably am a bit bias.  I liked the tool then, and I like it now.  It’s [...]

Coast Rapid Response 3.00 Knife – Tool Review (video)

Video Review – Coast Rapid Response 3.00 Knife

I recently received the Rapid Response 3.00 knife from Coast Products. It took me about 10 seconds to really appreciate its design (by Ron Lake, a noted designer of all things sharp). The coolest thing about the Rapid Response is the spring-assisted opening. You almost have to see it to believe it when it comes [...]
