I know there are a ton of pages about “the best” and “Amazon.” I work for Amazon. I see millions of products go out and come back each day. I know what people are returning and buying and spot trends.
Also, as such, I have the opportunity to try out products at no cost, in exchange for my opinion. That’s a great deal, especially for someone who’s had everything he owned stolen. Some were monetary losses, others were emotional.
Over time I’ve now reviewed 420 products (dude) and have gotten pretty entrenched into this and tested lots of all sorts of products from surfboard bags to wrench sets to pancake batter pourers to you name it. USA and asian products it seems mostly.
I have a lot of interests and nearly all the tools and gear associated with it was stolen. All of it. So I have some ground to make up. The problem is, what was taken was the best of breed. I had been saving up and accumulating it for over 50 years. Gone.
But with that, I know what makes a good product and what makes a poor one. I know where the name brand doesn’t live up to the hype and where values lie. I have the background to also engineer and reverse engineer these things, and I’m honest and have integrity.
I’ve wanted to set up a repository of items that have stood out, whether it be design, efficiency, novelty, value, or whatever the case, something should be mentioned above all others. I have a growing number of these items, many of which I’d never had, but is such a great solution I have to share.
That’s what these posts are about. Sharing the best I can find, the best values, and the best design.
I also want to try and use some features on Substack that I haven’t been using like the video. Video is perfect for this. And people like GOOD video.
