How we pick

  1. We read the specs. Materials, sizes and how a product is meant to be used.
  2. We look at owner reports. Common praise and common complaints, across many listings.
  3. We match tool to job. Each pick says who it suits, and who should skip it.

We don't lab-test products and we never invent reviews. More about our approach.
