FosPower Weather Radio Review: Right Shop Safety Tool?
When we pulled the FosPower NOAA Emergency Weather Radio D8 out of the box, it felt less like a gadget and more like a compact “plan B” we could actually hold. The bright orange shell is hard to misplace, and the 37000mWh power bank promises more than a quick phone top-off—it hints at breathing room when outlets go dark. We tuned through AM/FM and NOAA channels with the kind of quiet attention storms demand, then tested the flashlight and SOS alarm, imagining a campsite, a blackout, or a roadside wait. What impressed us most was the trio of charging options—USB, solar, and hand crank—because redundancy is the real luxury in emergencies. Is it the right shop safety tool? We’re finding out.
Jishi Multitool Pen Review: Right EDC Tool for Us?
We’ve tested plenty of everyday-carry gadgets, but the Jishi Multitool Pen Set (2pcs) feels like it was built for real-life “I need this now” moments. At first glance it’s a sleek pen—something we’d actually clip to a pocket or keep on a desk without looking like we raided a toolbox. Then the surprises show up: a mini multitool lineup tucked into the barrel, ready for quick fixes, tiny adjustments, and those inconveniently loose screws that always appear at the wrong time. As a gift idea, it hits an easy sweet spot—practical without being boring, fun without being gimmicky. In our review, we’ll see if it earns a permanent place in our EDC rotation—or stays a stocking stuffer novelty.
