I know what you’re thinking—yes, we test out a ton of stuff every month here at Popular Mechanics. Of course, there are the everyday essentials, like lawnmowers, pressure washers, and grills, but there are plenty of other products we come across that take up a certain special real estate within our hearts—specifically, the stuff we immediately fall in love with and consider personal game-changers. Well, consider this an ode to those picks from our editors, who rounded up the standouts that crossed their desks this past May. From preseasoned cast-iron skillets to rugged runners to game-changing shaving kits, we took a bunch of editor-favorite equipment and highlighted what we loved about it. These picks all feature something special and personal to the team, and we can’t recommend them enough, especially as the summer—and the outdoorsy season—draws closer.
