Lithium-ion batteries benefit from being stored at about 50 percent charge, which helps with overall battery life. Fully charged lithium-ion batteries self-discharge more quickly, so plan on checking every three months if you prefer to store your flashlight fully char

Packaging: Once the gift baskets arrived, we considered the unboxing experience from the recipient's eyes, including the look of the packaging. We also noted any perishable warnings, ice packs, or other matters to keep the contents fr

I also love the no-waste packaging that includes information about each coffee’s origin and unique flavor profile. Depending on your brewing preference and the desired strength, this gift could brew up to 60 cups of coffee, so it’ll definitely last a wh

Unlike our experiences with other dryers, this one has a powerful auto-sensing feature that was accurate for drying most clothing in one go. Some bulkier items, like towels, blankets, and even cloth diapers (which are layered), were still damp after a cycle, but a quick stint in a timed-dry cycle helped finish the

Gift Tree has been around for over two decades and offers an impressive selection of gift baskets containing wine, cheese, chocolate, and more for every recipient on your list. We tested the luxurious Royal Treatment Wine Basket, which comes with a bottle of chardonnay, a bottle of pinot noir, and tons of snacks that pair nicely with the w

The old rule of thumb was to find a dryer with twice the cubic capacity of your washing machine, but increased efficiency in dryer performance means you won’t need to adhere as strictly to that formula anym

You’ll want to find a washing machine with a capacity that matches your average load size, because over-filling your washer means your clothes won't get super clean, and under-filling it means a waste of water and ene

I’ve tackled projects with a physical level, a laser that doesn’t self-level, and self-leveling lasers, and the cross-line Small Apartment Interior Design Game Dlc|Https://Smallspacenest.Com/ makes jobs so much easier. It has a great range too, but it’s most accurate under 33 feet, and we notice the visibility dropping to about 12 feet in bright sunli

Unlike cross-line laser levels (and other line levels), this rotary level works by attaching it to your wall with a detachable base. The base is held in place by a flip-out tack, so using it puts a tiny hole in your wall (similar to hanging a picture frame). But it’s nice that there’s no need for a tripod or any other hardw

The magnetic base allows for truly hands-free use, and the adjustable head lets you aim the light exactly where you need it. The included clip also lets you attach the flashlight to yourself if you need to keep your hands free while moving around. You don’t need to worry about it falling or getting wet either since it has an IPX8 rating and survived dunk and drop tests in our

One thing I really like about this flashlight is the built in stand, which is great for hands-free operation. If you’re working on a project and need both of your hands, the stand flips out and pivots so you can point the light right where it needs to be and then set it d

I grew up helping my carpenter grandpa work with bubble levels and plumb bobs, and those memories really make me appreciate self-leveling laser levels. Laser levels are already a huge time saver compared to those older methods (and don’t require the same level of expertise), but self-leveling takes all the guesswork out of the proc

This level doesn’t come with a tripod, but the magnetic mount works well. I recommend picking up a tripod like the Huepar 60-inch Indoor Tripod if you don’t already have one. It doesn’t have multiple beam modes either, but the always-on cross is useful for a huge variety of jobs and tasks around the ho

This rechargeable flashlight from Anker is a lower-cost alternative that’s still bright, durable, and reliable. There are a few things I don’t love (micro USB and a battery you can’t replace), but it’s about half the price of our overall best recommendation, and it performed just as well in the durability tests we performed at our lab.

Brightness and battery life are the two most important factors for a rechargeable flashlight, and we were satisfied with both during our tests. If you’re worried that it’s too dim with a maximum 400 lumens compared to 1,000 lumens from the Nitecore we recommend as overall best, the gulf isn’t actually that
