ToolCruiser is built for people who work with their hands at home. If you are setting up a garage workshop, upgrading tools, or trying to avoid costly buying mistakes, this site is here to help. Everything you read is written with real home use in mind, not showroom testing or marketing claims.
Who We Are
ToolCruiser is run by a long-time home workshop owner who has spent years working with power tools in a real garage environment. The site was founded by Mark Reynolds, a DIY fabricator with over 15 years of hands-on experience using welders, saws, and other shop tools in everyday home workshop conditions.
His work has always focused on practical use, limited space, and standard home power setups that most homeowners rely on.
The tools featured here are used for real-world projects, including home repairs, garage builds, woodworking, and small metal fabrication. That hands-on experience shapes every recommendation, explanation, and comparison on the site.
Everything is written from the perspective of learning by doing. There were early mistakes, tool upgrades over time, and lessons learned through real projects. This keeps the advice clear, honest, and grounded.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help homeowners and DIY users make better tool decisions with confidence. Buying tools is expensive, and the wrong choice can slow your work or create safety issues.
We focus on what actually matters when tools are used at home. That includes setup time, power requirements, safety features, and long-term reliability.
You will see this mission reflected in everything we publish, including:
- Clear explanations of specs and power needs in plain language
- Honest pros and cons based on real use
- Beginner-focused guidance to avoid common mistakes
- Practical advice that fits small and medium-sized garages
The goal is simple. Help you choose tools that work well in your space and match how you actually use them.
Our Vision
We believe good tool advice should be practical, transparent, and grounded in experience. Our vision is to make ToolCruiser a trusted resource for home workshop users who want facts, not hype.
Over time, we want to build a library of content that answers real questions people have before spending their money. Questions like whether a tool will run on a standard outlet, fit in a tight space, or handle the type of projects they plan to do.
By staying focused on real-world garage use, we aim to earn long-term trust and become a go-to reference for DIY users at every skill level.
