Techie Product Reviews

The following product reviews are not guarantees of conditions described. In other words, we don't promise it'll work like we said.

HM4400A Hammer
74 credits

Ever find yourself working upside-down? Like hanging over a bridge, or reaching down into an open sewer? Then you know hammering can be very difficult since hammers are designed for rightside up use only. That's where this beauty comes into play. Tool To Rule TS introduces the HM4400A, the first hammer specifically designed to be used upside down. We found it extremely useful with a solid grip and good nailing power. While not as powerful as a nailgun, this is still useful--especially if Power Services has one of their shortages on power cords. 4 out of 5 stars.

Tractorbot Mark 1
3,250 credits

We're not sure what the point is with this big bot. It moves slow, handles like a scrubot and carves up the floor. The cutter attachment on the back looks designed for tearing something up, but we're not sure what since the blades didn't even cut through plastisteel. It also runs on ethanol instead of the usual battery, fouling the air with exhaust and making replacement parts for the motor rare to say the least. At least it's RED clearance (though we're not sure why). 2 out of 5 stars.

"Li'l Raddy" Power Adapter Set
127 credits

This is a mixed bag, but that's a bad thing. While many of the "Li'l Raddy" line of Power Service products are at least useable, this one is a confusing mess of wires, plugs and resistors. It took our testers ten minutes just to open the box and spread everything out! Another poor design feature is the lack of Tech Serv power converters; all 31 plugs only fit Power Services standard outlets. In other words, it's completely useless for us Techs. 1 out of 5 stars.
