Welcome to Best Home Gear – where we provide Homeowners with (DIY) How-To Guides and unbiased Product Reviews on the Best Tools and Outdoor Equipment for Your Home, Lawn, and Garden.
Greetings, I’m Kevin, the Editor-in-Chief behind Best Home Gear. With over 30 years of hands-on experience and expertise in home improvement, I created this publication in November 2018 and author and publish all the content you’ll find at Best Home Gear.
I currently split my time between Michigan and Arizona in the USA, while working from both locations and researching the best equipment and methods to assist DIY homeowners.
A little about me – and “why” I might be considered an expert on the DIY content and Product Reviews featured at Best Home Gear.
- Business Owner (Michigan, Florida): Architectural/Commercial building materials distributor for 20+ years (I understand the residential and commercial building materials market very well)
- Licensed Residential Builder/Remodeling Contractor (Michigan) 25+ years (multiple years of experience building and remodeling homes).
- Rental Property Owner/Manager(Michigan, Florida, Arizona) – 22+ years (have multiple years of experience performing remodels, maintenance, and landscape management on various houses and rental properties).
- Licensed Realtor (Florida) – As a former real estate agent with over 8 years of experience, I understand the value home buyers place on home improvements and how to make those improvements happen, whether as a builder or a do-it-yourself homeowner.
As you see, I’ve been “Around the Block” – working on residential and commercial properties.
None of that is to boast, but through those experiences, I have been fortunate enough to use (and continue to use) almost every type of Power Tool or piece of Lawn Equipment available to homeowners or professionals.
And, like you, I have also experienced and learned from the frustration of using unreliable equipment that was likely a poor purchase.

Types of Yard Tools, and Outdoor Equipment Best Home Gear Recommends:
Here at Best Home Gear, we’ve long been proponents of battery-powered (Cordless) Yard Tools vs. gas-powered yard Tools for several reasons.
Battery-powered yard tools provide dependability and efficiency that gas-powered tools cannot match for the average homeowner.
Battery-powered tools require virtually no maintenance compared to Gas-Powered tools, which require gasoline, spark plugs, oil, tune-ups, and pull cords.
Another option, of course, is to invest in Electric Power Tools – used with an extension cord.
The limitations are pretty obvious, including the need to drag an extension cord, the distance limited by the locations of electrical outlets, and the risk of cutting the extension cord with a trimmer or mower.
As a result of our learnings, you may notice that Best Home Gear’s focus includes many reviews for Cordless (battery-powered) Yard Tools.
With no gas, no oil to mix, no spark plugs to foul, and no extension Cords, connect a freshly charged battery to your equipment and go. That’s Quick and easy work.
“Removing the Mystery” of What and Where to Buy Equipment:
