HILLBILLYTESTED
Independent thinking. Southern attitude.

REAL GEAR.
REAL TESTS.
NO BULLCRAP.

Drones, tools, maker equipment, and whatever else deserves a closer look. We believe a product should earn your moneyβ€”not just have a fancy box and a suspicious number of five-star reviews.

Our rating philosophy

Three ways gear earns its reputation

πŸ† Hillbilly ApprovedSolid performance and a price that makes sense.
πŸ”§ Needs Some TinkeringUseful gear with drawbacks you deserve to know.
πŸͺ™ Ain't Worth a Plug NickelDoesn't earn a recommendation based on the evidence.

Ratings will only appear when we've gathered enough evidence to justify them. No made-up tests or manufactured verdicts.

Who we are

Country sense. Technical curiosity.

Hillbilly Tested is an independent gear-review project founded by Jeremy, a hands-on equipment enthusiast with experience in drones, electrical systems, workshop tools, and maker technology. The mission is simple: explain what gear actually does, where it falls short, and whether it's worth your hard-earned cash.

Our review promise: We will distinguish personal testing from specification research. If we haven't used a product ourselves, we won't pretend otherwise. We'll correct mistakes when we find them.
