John Patterson

Hi there! My name is John Patterson, and I am a meticulous individual who takes great pleasure in selecting the perfect tools for a variety of needs. Whether it be woodworking, gardening, or any other task, I prioritize quality and usability above all else. Since 2010, I have dedicated myself to testing a wide range of tools for both DIY projects and professional endeavors. In 2015, I decided to share my expertise with the world. I initially began by assisting in forums and various Q&A sites such as Quora. However, I soon realized the need for a more comprehensive platform to share my knowledge and experiences. This led me to establish this blog, where I aim to assist individuals like yourself in making informed decisions when it comes to selecting the right tools for the job.
