The new DeWalt folding string trimmer model DCST922B arrived at this branch of Home Fixated about the same time as the new Dewalt 20v Max pole hedge trimmer (review coming very soon). These tools represent a step forward in the outdoor cordless tool category. Both tools arrived in the depths of an Upstate NY winter, so it was some time before I got the opportunity to give the DeWalt folding string trimmer a good workout. Join me as I put this tool through some torture testing on the farm. Read More

Incinerating Weeds with 500,000 BTU’s – The Bernzomatic Magfire+ Outdoor Torch
This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. I received the Bernzomatic Magfire+ 500,00 BTU Outdoor Torch a little while ago at this branch of Home-Fixated to try around the farm. It’s a propane powered torch that delivers up to 500,000 BTU’s of concentrated flame where ever you desire. It’s a mini flamethrower, not quite enough to make Elon Musk jealous, but close. The torch kit comes with the main shaft featuring an ergonomic grip and trigger to control the flame level, a 10’CSA hose, and a sparker for safe ignition. This torch will connect to any POL style propane tank (BBQ Tank). It is recommended that you use the torch with a minimum of a 20 pound cylinder. Read More
