Cool Stuff: November 2022

This month is all about the garage—one of my favorite places! While I try to live by the adage: “A place for everything and everything in its place,” we could all use a little assistance.


Lifetime Wall-Mounted Folding Work Table
My garage tends to get a bit messy, and while I have cabinets up in most of it, I needed a workbench for special projects and started searching. Boom! I found this one at Home Depot, ordered it, installed it, and—without a doubt—it’s my favorite thing in the garage (other than my car). Everyone who sees its storage capabilities runs out and buys one! Yep, it’s that cool! $300, homedepot.com

Marshall Stockwell II Portable Speaker
Marshall Stockwell II Portable Speaker
If you’ve read this column before, you know I love music. Even though I’ve installed sound systems in my garage, they tend to be a bit cumbersome, so I set out to find a Bluetooth speaker that spoke to me. Being a guitar “hack” (don’t call me a player—it’s an insult to those that really play!), this little Marshall speaker is perfect. It sounds great, offers 20 hours on a charge, fits anywhere, and includes bass, treble, and volume controls so you can rock out in the garage! $219.99, marshallheadphones.com

All my friends play golf and love it; I, on the other hand, have a problem with the game. I really stink at it; I mean it’s embarrassing. However, there’s no doubt that if I played, I would want to keep my golf stuff organized. I showed this to all my golfing buddies, and all I heard was, “I want one! Text me a link where I can buy it.” $99.99, amazon.com
