Tools & Garden Expert
About Nils
Nils has 11 years' experience testing tools, building products and garden equipment. With a background as a carpenter and gardener, he knows exactly what is required of a product in practice. At Testix, he writes thorough reviews of everything from drills and chainsaws to barbecues and robot mowers.
With his background as a professional carpenter, Nils has a practical understanding of tools that few other testers can match. He knows how a tool behaves after hundreds of hours of use, not just when first taken out of the packaging.
As the Testix tools and garden expert, Nils tests products under realistic working conditions. Drills are tested in real renovation projects, chainsaws are tried on wood of varying hardness, and barbecues are used for everything from weeknight grilling to slow-cooked ribeye.
Nils has a particular passion for gardening and growing. He runs a small kitchen garden at home and regularly tests new irrigation systems, soil improvers and garden tools. His philosophy: the right tool does half the job.
“A good tool should feel right in the hand from the very first moment. No specification sheet can convey that feeling — that is why we test them ourselves.”
