The Roxon Flex Go shrinks a modular tool system without losing the weird bits
The Roxon Flex Go takes the brand's modular tool system and shrinks it, but mercifully, it keeps the weird bits. That modularity, the ability to swap out tools and customize your carry, is the razor clam here, the detail everyone else might scroll past in favor of a simpler folding knife. Roxon didn't just make a smaller pliers-based multitool; it made a smaller system. It still lets you swap, still lets you choose your own adventure. The question, as always with a compact design, is whether the trade-offs sting or just trim the fat. We're digging into it.

The Tinde's porch roof steals the show before you step inside
The Tinde's most distinctive space sits outside its front door. A steeply pitched roof stretches over a generous covered porch, giving this tiny house the kind of dramatic silhouette that makes you stop before you even reach for the handle. It's the kind of architectural gesture that feels less like shelter and more like a statement: this home knows it has a good face, and it's not afraid to show it. I love a tiny house that puts its best feature somewhere you can actually use it, not just photograph it. That porch is a room in its own right, a shaded buffer between the world and the door. It makes you wonder what the inside is holding back.
Wyze drags the scale's brain up to eye level, and your feet can finally land anywhere
Wyze took the smart scale's brain and hoisted it up to eye level, which feels both obvious and overdue. The new Ultra BodyScan Plus keeps the retractable handle from last year's model but moves the 4.3-inch color display onto it, so you're not craning your neck toward your toes to see whether your muscle mass actually moved. The conductive indium tin oxide coated glass means your feet can land anywhere and still get BIA readings, which is the kind of forgiving design that real bathrooms need. It costs $149, about $30 more than the original, and ships in black or white starting today. The handle still does the segment breakdown across arms, legs, and torso.
