I did a review on a small 110V mig/flux core welder, so I figured I would do one on a big boy. We have this Miller/Bobcat at work and it gets used a good bit. With an effective welding range from 40-250amps you can jump on some big jobs with this one. In addition to the finely selectable amperage range this machine is also equipped with a selector switch for polarity which is nice, you don't...

This has got to be one of my favorite tools! Equip this thing with a 3/8" square drive bit and you can do many of the the job you need to do without the restriction of being tethered to a compressor. I use this impact on a daily basis doing mechanical maintenance on production machinery. For the majority of what I do this impact is plenty. I don't think you could change a tire on your truck...

I bought my Big Bear 400 new back in 2004. I have spent a fair amount of time on it since then. When I first purchased it I did a lot of trail riding and pipe line riding etc. I have to say that while good for lower speed riding, the Big Bear is not geared for speed. Max top speed is around 40 MPH or so. First gear on the BB is pretty much useless unless your pulling on something, it's so ...

I have tried in my life, many, different electric shavers. I tried lots of $20-$30 ones because I did not want to spend much to find out if they worked good or not. Well I can tell you from these many attempts that if your spending $20-$30 for a shaver you will not find one that works well. About eight months ago I started shaving my head, like Mr. Clean shaved, not fuzzy with the clippers s...

This is another great tool from the Ryobi One + 18V family. This is in my opinion a great line of tools, where you do not have to pay for a battery and charger each time you buy a tool. With one + you buy everything separate. I purchased a contractor type set with a sawzall, circular saw, drill, orb sander, dust buster, and radio for about $150. How can you beat that price?!? Ok this rev...

I purchased this camera about a year ago, and have sense put it through its paces and then some. With it being the exact same size as my cell phone it is very easy to carry around with me, a don't even notice it in my pocket. The camera, when I bought it, comes with the camera, a dock/charger, rechargable battery, usb cable, power adapter and drivers cd. The dock/charger is small, simple...

I recently had DSL become available at my home, and have been searching for something fun to do with my new found internet speed. Enter the MMORPG (Massively Multilayer Online Role Playing Game), after some searching I found that several of these exist. The problem I kept finding was that after paying for the game, you still had to pay to play most of them online, which is their only mode ...

Firefox Internet browser is a must for anyone exploring the web. Worried about security? Firefox has you covered. Worried about learning a new browser, no problem….Firefox looks and feels almost just like Internet Explorer. Best of all Firefox is FREE!!! Do a quick google for Mozilla Firefox and you’ll be downloaded and running in no time at all. Instead of going into a bunch of technical...

Gun was one of the most enjoyable games I have played on the PS2! Having a wealth of missions and things to do, and also the ability to just explore the world. Whats more, you get to ride a horse around, how cool is that! With missions like “Kill the Whore” I don’t think I have to elaborate a whole lot on this game. I never got bored with the missions, it was always something different. I...

The L80X Ultra from Velocity Micro was my choice when I purchased my most recent computer.  Having a powerful desktop computer and not wanting to be tied down to the desk I opted this route.  The only reason I knew of VM is because I stopped by Best Buy to look at laptops, but I could not find one that had the XP operating system on it.  Turns out they had one in the back that ...

Having owned a couple different bikes I have to say the VTX is probably my favorite.  I was a sport bike guy, that was until my wife came along….she loves to ride the sport bike were not comfortable for either of us while two up.  I came across the VTX 1300 while searching for a new bike we could both ride.  Being an ex  sport bike rider I wanted the sporty look, some...
