Well, in an earlier post I talked about my Husky tool bag that sits in my car. It served me well for several years, but it's time for a change. Veto Pro Pac MC…

I was just at Target and found a Victorinox Alox (aluminum scales) Cadet on clearance from $29 down to $8.68. I rarely see these on sale because they are popular knives. The Cadet has a 9 tools on it. It's nice. The funny part is that my daughters got me a Cadet for Christmas this year for...

We stop demolishing their house once we no longer find any signs of fire extension, but you make a valid point about the devastation. The Fire Dept. is a broad sword, not a scalpel. We make a mess. We take pains to salvage as much personal property as we can, but sometimes the aftermath looks...

My youtube channel is more of a video blog about stuff I like. I just thought members might like to see the video. The reason half the video was useless to you is because I have nothing worthwhile to say.

Here is a little tip about wrapping any handles with hockey tape for extra grip. I use it on my hammer that I have with my turnout gear as a firefighter. It has worked great for me, and hopefully it works great for you…

Thanks for the info petalmasher. I've always had a fear of getting "zapped".

What better excuse to go out and buy some tools. :)

The Wera Screw Grabbers review….

I bought this screwdriver set some time ago, and I have to say I really like them. The lasered tips really do produce more traction than a smooth tipped driver. I also love the handles. I've read that some electricians won't use their insulated drivers unless they think they need the insulated...

I have them, and I really like them. They come in a set of two sizes, and I've used them on my micro insultated drivers as well as my regular drivers.

I think these are nice, and more versatile. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ISLNRO/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I can't drive by a HF without stopping in and using a coupon. I CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO GO IF I HAVE A COUPON!!!!! Now I have a new magnetic towel roll and glove holder for my new space.

My daughters gave me a pair of Ebco Sawhorses for Father's Day, and today I got around to putting them into service. Last year I read an article in "The Family Handyman" about these horses, and I really liked how they set them up. I used 2 x 6 for the base, and made a cradle for a...

I've been moving into my new bench. I've added a few hooks, and two undermount, battery operated, motion activated lights from "Mr. Beams". They only put out 35 lumens each, but I think they will do the job until I get around to running some electrical to that corner of the garage. I'll also...

Thanks! Those Craftsman boxes were a steal. A fellow firefighter was upgrading his tool chest with a snap-on chest and sold me all three for $100. They were in great condition and they fit my space well.
