Is this cheaper version of a Cricut actually any good? We reviewed it
I'm generally not the "crafty" type. I'm more into drills, saws, lasers and CNC-type stuff. My better half, however, is an old pro at cutting, plotting, and crafting. We tested out this Cricut alternative. -

Budget night vision with big sensor: Cigman CNVPro field-tested
The second I picked up the CNVPros, I thought to myself, "Are they heavy? Yeah? That means they're expensive, put 'em back." The nighttime 'nocs have a bit of heft to them, and they totally feel like they should cost way more than they do. -

Review: I can almost see the future with this cheap flashlight
Big, bright, and maybe a bit overkill. 7,000 lumens, runs on rechargeable Li-ion or regular AAs, and even charges your phone. Too big for hiking, perfect for camping, emergencies, or blinding wildlife. Won't pick winning lotto numbers, however. -
