Ray Sandoval

Ray covers power tools, hand tools and garage equipment. He came to reviewing from job sites rather than labs, which shows: his comparisons weigh battery platform lock-in, service availability and how a tool behaves at the end of a long day over headline torque figures. He is blunt about when the cheaper tool is genuinely enough, and equally blunt about the jobs where buying cheap twice is the expensive option.
