This is my review for the MSLPro Motion Sensing Socket Plug, which is basically a night light which pumps out a bright white light for a predetermined time when it senses motion.
Premium Cotton Knee Support Sleeves
By +Ian C
This pair of Premium Cotton Knee Support Sleeves was one of those review items that I pulled rank to review. Having played a lot of sports in my youth, my joints are now feeling the strain, and combined with middle age, this adds up to sore knees and legs. My job means that I spend a lot of time on my feet, and frequently have to bend at the knee to access lower shelves, so by the end of the workday my legs are tired and my knees ache.

Re:VIEW June 2015
Reviews are a snapshot of an opinion about a product, but the true test of quality of a product is the ongoing opinion. That is why we have a 6 month cool off period and then re-review a product. Read on to see what we reviewed 6 months ago and if our opinion has changed over the period of half a year.
Sunsella Pastry Scraper & Chopper
By +Tina Cruris
I was excited to test and review the Sunsella Pastry Scraper & Chopper since I spend a lot of my time chopping vegetables for stir fry. A tool like this is great for getting those veggies from the chopping board into the wok with ease.

Ozeri Touch Body Scale
By +Brad Naylor
I have never been one to keep in touch with my weight on a daily basis. Yes I am a little overweight, but that is what happens when you hit middle age and don't get as much exercise as you used to. How do I know I am overweight? Because my new Ozeri Touch Body Scale told me.

Dicani Lawn Aerator Spike Shoes
By +Ian C
It's the last third of November here in Minnesota and there is usually a couple of inches of snow on the ground so why would I be reviewing these Lawn Aerator Spike Shoes by Dicani? While it isn't the ideal time for aerating your lawn, the ground is still soft enough to test these shoes and write a report about their functionality.

Stainless Steel Credit Card Holder by Ehauer
By +Ian C
It's been a while since I did a review so I jumped in to test out this Stainless Steel Credit Card holder by Ehauer. It holds six credit cards and protects them from RFID scanners so your credit card details are kept that little bit safer.

Reach Cables 10ft Extra Long Lightning Cable
By +Alexa Rankin
Since I am the only STP writer with a compatible Apple product, it was up to me to review the Reach Cables 10ft Extra Long Lightning Cable. I was thrilled at the thought of having a super long charging cable so that I can be more mobile while charging my iPhone 5.

Kukpo Five Quart Colander
By +Brad Naylor
I am the pasta-masta at STP so I was asked to review the Kukpo 5 Quart Stainless Steel Colander/Strainer. It is designed for straining pasta and noodles, as well as fruits and vegetables, so I put it through it's paces.

Premium Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker Set by Mixologist World
By +Tina Cruris
I wasn't really been much of a cocktail person but I was asked to try out this Premium Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker Set by Mixologist World, which comes with a double jigger and a cocktail booklet. My tastes were pretty simple when it came to liquor. I enjoy good whiskey, neat, and gin and tonic, so to open my mind to a world of mixed drinks was a fun challenge.

That's where the FuzzyGreen® 5ml Unisex Travel Perfume Atomizer Pump Spray Bottle comes in handy. It holds 1/6 oz. of your favorite parfum de toilette which is enough to make you smell like a tart's boudoir for an entire week.

X-Chef 6 piece cooking utensil set
By +Alexa Rankin
"Oh sure, let's give the kitchen utensil review to the girl," was what I thought at first, but once I started using this Six Piece Cooking Utensil Set, I was happy that it was my turn to write a review.

Ohuhu 16x52 Waterproof Monocular
By +Ian C
The Ohuhu 16x52 Waterproof Monocular landed on my desk at the perfect time, just before the Super Blood Moon last September. To be able to see an event like that magnified 16 times was a pretty exciting prospect and I had a few days to get some practice before the big event.

Ohuhu 3X3X3 Stickerless Rubik's Cube
By +Brad Naylor
It doesn't seem that long ago that I was reviewing a different Rubik's Cube, and here I am again with another one. This time I am testing the Ohuhu 3X3X3 Stickerless Rubik's Cube which is also a speed cube but with a slightly different build design.

Ohuhu 75ft Expandable Hose
By +Tina Cruris
It is October here in Minnesota, and I believe most of the rest of the world also, and it is hardly a time to be thinking about getting a new garden hose, but I was asked to evaluate and review the Ohuhu 75ft Expandable Hose and that is exactly what I did.

McLintech 5-in-1 Tire Pressure Gauge
By +Brad Naylor
I have always used the old school traditional tire pressure gauges, even with my love of gadgets and gizmos, I had never considered using a fancy digital TPG. Then the McLintech 5 In 1 Tire Pressure Gauge fell onto my desk needing an evaluation.

Nerdwax - The Original Glasses Wax
By Jean Poole
"What is Nerdwax?" I hear you ask, "It sounds like some kind of wax that a nerd would use to stop his glasses sliding down his nose." Well you would be exactly right. I am here to tell you all about my experience with Nerdwax. While I do not consider myself to be a nerd, I do wear glasses that have nerd like qualities.

Anybody who rides a bike knows the importance of keeping a good quality bike pump close by. Even though I am only a fair weather cyclist, I was asked to try out the Ohuhu® Mini Bike Pump - Mountain Bike Tire Pump and give my opinion, so here goes.

Esky Retractable Dog Leash
By +Tina Cruris
Here is my review of the Esky® Retractable Dog Leash with Ergonomic Handle (13ft model). I have a one year old puppy called Boo-Boo. He is a terrier mix who weighs 25 pounds and is full of energy so this leash, which is recommended for dogs up to 45 pounds, seemed ideal for him.

OxyLED® 500 Lumen LED Flashlight
By +Ian C
I am not a flashlight collector, but when asked to review this OxyLED® 500 Lumen LED Flashlight I did realise that I do have a reasonable collection of flashlights across a range of styles and prices, so that makes me kind of an expert. Just like pocket knives, a guy can never have too many flashlights.

Rechargeable LED Desk Lamp
By +Brad Naylor
I have been testing out the OXYLed Rechargeable LED Clamp Desk Lamp so that I can share this review with you nice people. Sometimes you don't want a big overhead light on, or maybe you just need a little more light in a small area which is where this portable rechargeable LED lamp comes in.

4 pack non-stick egg rings
By +Alexa Rankin
"What's for breakfast?" is something I don't hear in my apartment very often, since there is rarely anybody there to ask. But if there was, the answer would definitely be "perfectly round fried eggs", thanks to the non-stick egg rings I have been evaluating.

DragonBall Z Goku's Gym T-Shirt
By +Ian C
A guy can never have too many T-Shirts, and I take every opportunity to add another one to the collection. I can usually tell straight away if a T-Shirt is going to be an 'everyday' shirt an 'oil change' shirt or a 'next week's rag' shirt, and this Goku's Gym T-Shirt from AW Fashion is definitely an everyday shirt.

Heat Resistant SafeTGloves
By +Ian C
In our house we love pizza and fries and chicken tenders and all those other great oven ready meals, and since I don't have asbestos fingertips, I am constantly using an oven glove. For years we have used those mitten style ones which allow you all the dexterity of a lobster claw, but now I use the SafeTGloves, a pair of bright orange heat resistant oven and grill gloves which allows you to use all 10 fingers independently to handle hot items.
