About

ToolGuyd is a tool blog that focuses on new tool previews, hands-on reviews, industry news, tool guides and occasional DIY projects.

Our goal is to provide insight and information that helps readers determine for themselves whether a tool or product is suited for their needs.

There are few limits about the types of tools we will discuss in previews, but we avoid reviewing tools that are way beyond our experience. Paid-placement content is NOT permitted under any condition. If we think a tool is worth previewing or discussing in a post, we’ll gladly do it for free.

ToolGuyd was founded in late 2008 by Stuart Deutsch. Stuart has a background in physics (B.S.) and materials science and engineering (M.S., Ph.D.). Stuart enjoys working on electronics, robotics, woodworking, and DIY projects.
