Hi, I’m Moses.
I’m based in Nairobi, and I research, compare and write every buying guide on this site.
I started this site because too many buying guides repeat marketing copy instead of explaining what the specs mean. Here I share which tools earn their keep, which quietly disappoint, and how to spend your money well.
- Specs over marketing
- Sources linked
- No sponsored reviews
My background
I focus on the technical details that decide how power tools actually perform: motors, battery chemistry and the electrical fundamentals behind them.
I focus on tools sold in the United States, since that is where the largest and most competitive market is and where most of my readers shop.
I’m not a general contractor and I don’t run a tool testing lab. I’m a researcher and writer, so every guide is built from published specs, trade reviews and verified owner feedback.
How I produce these reviews
Honesty about method is more useful than vague claims of “rigorous testing.” Every review and buying guide combines four inputs.
Clear about experience
Where a guide draws on direct use of a tool, it says so. Where it doesn’t, the guide makes that clear too.
Spec analysis
I read spec sheets the way a chef reads a recipe: motor ratings, battery chemistry, torque and IP ratings, not the marketing language.
Expert and trade sources
I cross check established publications like Pro Tool Reviews, Tools In Action and Family Handyman, plus forums where working tradespeople talk.
Verified buyer feedback
I read verified reviews across Amazon, Home Depot and Lowe’s, looking for repeated complaints and consistent praise rather than cherry picked quotes.
I also use AI tools to help research and draft, the way many writers and engineers do today. AI helps me work through source material faster, but every recommendation reflects my own judgment. AI doesn’t decide what gets recommended on this site. I do.
What I don’t do: I don’t claim hands-on testing of tools I haven’t used, and I don’t invent labs, anonymous tradespeople or testing facilities. If anything here looks like manufactured authority, tell me and I’ll fix it.

How this site makes money
Tool Expert Reviews is reader supported. When you buy through a link on this site, I may earn a small commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. This site participates in the Amazon Associates Program and other affiliate programs.
Commission doesn’t change which tools I recommend. I have no manufacturer sponsorships, no paid placements and no business relationships with any tool brand. If a budget tool beats a premium one for a job, that’s what I’ll say. Read the full disclosure.
Editorial standards
- Real sources only. Every statistic, quote or study links to a verifiable source.
- No paid placements. No brand has paid for a review or placement, and none ever will.
- Updates and corrections. When a product changes or a reader flags an error, the article gets updated.
- Affiliate transparency. Every article with affiliate links says so at the top.
