Tool Reviews

Yeti is in another class altogether. The walls are thicker; the hinges more substantial, and the latches more rugged.

Yeti drinkware isn’t cheap, but it’s not higher than other quality products of this type. I’ve been using their cups for a few years and never had a problem with any of them. I recommend Yeti Rambler Mugs.

The Yeti Trailhead Camp Chair is a well-made product that opens and closes easily, providing a rugged and comfortable seat.

The designers of this product gave it some serious testing to maximize the coffee flow without spilling any on your shoes. This tool will help the morning get started.

The Napoleon PRO Series Cutting Board and Bowl Set has an attractive design that falls just a little short of its concept.

I could see this product being used for a football-themed get together, maybe to keep some hot sauce hot, but it’s not a serious kitchen appliance.

Firelight Flasks have a wider mouth to accommodate ice cubes. The fit and finish has an elegant feel and insulation is more than adequate.

What’s the worst part of the fire pit experience? Too much smoke. Solo Stove Bonfire claims to have fixed the problem, but does it deliver? Read our review.
