DEWALT DWHT71843 MT16 Multi-Tool Review: Our Shop?
In our shop, a multi-tool earns its keep only if it can jump from quick fixes to real work without drama. The DEWALT DWHT71843 MT16 Multi Tool makes a strong case right out of the gate: compact in the pocket, confident in the hand, and ready when we’re crawling under a bench or trimming a stubborn zip tie. We like how it feels purpose-built rather than gimmicky—each implement seems to have a job, not just a spot in the lineup. It’s not trying to replace a full toolbox, but it does cover those “right now” moments when walking back to the drawer is the real cost. In this review, we’ll see if it truly belongs in our daily carry.
RAK Universal Socket Wrench Review: Right for Our Shop?
We’ve tested plenty of “one-tool-fits-all” gadgets, so we approached the RAK Super Universal Socket Tool with cautious curiosity. In our shop, speed matters, and this 7–19mm universal socket wrench set promises to skip the constant swapping of sockets by gripping different shapes—standard nuts, odd bolts, even slightly rounded hardware. Paired with the included power drill adapter, it turns quick fixes into a two-step routine: fit, drive, done. The gator-grip style pins feel surprisingly secure on common household and light-duty tasks, though we still reached for traditional sockets when torque demands got serious. As a Valentine’s Day or birthday gift for men, dads, or husbands, it’s the kind of “cool gadget” that actually earns drawer space.
