Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

Our pal Steve Magnante is back at it with another feature video on this 1966 Impala wagon that is for sale at High Octane Classics. You know I have a certain love for a 1966 B-Body Wagon, since I have a 1966 Bel Air wagon myself, but this one here is a clean and cool hot rod for sure. It’s got billet wheels, clean paint, and a fuel injected 383 under the hood. It’s also got stereo, air conditioning, custom accessory drive, fresh interior and more. This thing would be fun on Power Tour!

My dad has been looking at electric chainsaws for a while but hadn’t pulled the trigger on one, and so being the good son I am (especially since he lets me send weird Chinese electric vehicles to his property), I decided to buy one for him. There are a few electric chainsaws out there, but I’ve heard good things about Ego’s tools and so I decided to try one of those. A couple clicks on Amazon and a few days later, a shiny green Ego Power+ 18-inch 56 volt electric chainsaw showed up at the door.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

There are approximately 1,000 deaths per year as a result of electrical injuries, with 400 of these due to high-voltage electrical injuries and lightning accounting for 50-300 of the incidents.

Of all the things that have helped spur the development of mankind as a species, it is perhaps the use of tools that has had the biggest impact. Our first tools go all the way back to the stone age when shaped rocks were used for hammering and cutting. Fast forward a few million years, and Frederick Trent Stanley refined things just a bit when he started producing hand tools in 1843 under the Stanley brand name.

What power and hand tools do your customers really need?

Delivery drones are intended to zip your packages to you by air, but that convenience has one unintended consequence: noise pollution. Amazon is testing its Prime Air delivery drones in College Station, Texas, where the cacophony of overhead drones is annoying the people who live there, CNBC reports. “They sound like a hundred swarms of bees,” one College Station resident said in an interview with NBC. The noise gets louder on a nearby launchpad, where all the delivery drones converge.
