The Kitmaster is expert at banging things hard trying to make them work. He has been reviewing everything from cars to walking boots for national newspapers, magazines and websites for years.

We can reveal here the out-spoken star of the popular travel product review section of thetraveleditor.com is, in fact, the travel writer simon heptinstall. With almost 600 registered fans and more than a third of a million hits on that one site alone, Kitmaster has become renowned for his humorously abrasive style.

He says: "If I love something I’ll tell you... but if I can’t make it work or it falls apart while I'm playing with it I’ll tell you that too."

Please note: the Kitmaster tries to report everything accurately and reasonably but please remember that his opinions are his own and that the prices, suppliers and information can’t always be guaranteed because it is usually supplied by the very manufacturer who is trying to sell the thing. Also remember that prices change, suppliers disappear and products are changed.
