Customer Reviews
Handyguys, The Guys Next Door
Great show, very laid back format. It's like asking your next door neighbor for advice, grabbing a cold drink and talking it through ! If your working on a rehab project and considering a tool purchase, and who isn't, subscribe to the podcast for practical, unbiased advice.
Great Show
Informative podcast, both hosts seem normal and actually admitt to their mistakes which is refreshing. Only thing that gets annoying are the sound affects and the over modulated announcer. Another thing that might help is if they have live callers. I dont know if they cant becuase of technical limitations or what but it would help if they had the callers live so they could answer their questions. A lot of times they can only guess solutions because they have to assume the callers situation. (through no fault of their own) But really its a great free podcast.
Great, helpful podcast
I have been listening to this podcast for over a year now. It seems that every podcast addresses somthing I am either planning in the house, or a problem that has come up! Besides being on target with their podcasts they take the time to answer questions that come to them, even if they do not put them on the air. I was lucky enough to have a question that I asked them, and the next week it was an episode with thoughts, options and discussions on how to best complete the project. Dedicated handyguys that want to help the averageguy.
