    What knife are you carrying today?

    I’ve never smoked or drank, so no cigars or whiskey pictures. And this pic was taken a minute ago so not from the files. But I do have too many guns and knives. Here’s the church carry for the day. Great Eastern Cutlery 48 frame. I’m not a fan of a pen blade secondary, but when they’re selling...

    Is real wood flooring (living room) no longer popular?

    I hate carpet. Our house the main level is all 3/4 oak. Bedrooms were carpet. Bathrooms and laundry tile. I’ve put wood in 1 kids room. Have the other prepped for install. Just gotta do it. Then will do my bedroom. Walkout basement was carpet squares when we moved in. We put wood look 6x36...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Garage/in front of garage/kitchen work. Bought my boy a 2011 Silverado for his school car. Way nicer than anything I had….Spoiled yeah, but polite, does anything asked of him, straight A’s, tests off the charts. Dash had typical GM cracks. And loud clunking every time you hit a bump under...

    What knife are you carrying today?

    The troll level was expert by Zero Tolerance back when Benchmade was cutting up guns for the Portland police. I’d buy a ZT. I won’t ever buy a Benchmade.

    What knife are you carrying today?

    I might carry a flipper mostly. But I like slip joints more. Here’s a 12 day of Christmas special DLT had made up by GEC. Crosscut Mammoth. It’s mostly carried to church.

    What knife are you carrying today?

    I prefer traditional slip joints, specifically 2 bladed trappers from Great Eastern Cutlery or even Case or full blown customs. But I tend to misplace them. Have probably 100 in different flavors. i might be an addict with a small problem. The last 7 months has been this no nsne chicom liner...

    What knife are you carrying today?

    Carried this modified Loveless from Rick Menefee in my pocket from the mailbox to the house today. Blue line micarta. And Rick executes a tapered tang to perfection. Does that count? Will be my nephews wedding present in a few weeks.

    Suggestions for light/medium duty steel toe work boots in $150-200 range

    I work in 4 plants around the country, so get to acquire lots of boots. In that price range I really like some Ariat moc toe boots I got from a local farm store. If your budget was bigger I’d say Thorogoods moc toe, they’re my favorite.

    His and Hers Tools - Wedding Gift Ideas?

    Homeowner here in a 20 year old house plumbed with cpvc. When you need a pipe wrench, you need a pipe wrench. I always buy “guy” things for weddings that are tied to me/my friends, vs my wife’s friends. I’ve given gift cards to Bass Pro, gave a gun to a close friend, my nephew gets married in a...

    What type of shop do you have?

    30x50 (5 bays 10’ wide) that the previous owner had left the north side open, just to park stuff in. For 10 years now I’ve said I’m going to add a full bank of garage doors to it. As it is now, it holds 2 boats and 3 bays full of junk….

    Zero Turn Recommendations

    I bought a used 2003 54” Exmark from a buddy retiring from mowing business back in 2010. 700 hours then. I mow a couple acres a week. I’ve beat the ever living **** out of it. Treated it like a bush hog in the brush. It just keeps going. I’ve replaced a spindle here and there, an idle pulley...

    Thoughts on a Ryobi Impact and Compressor for College bound Daughter

    Just used mine to pull lug nuts off jeep and then caliper bolts in Walmart parking lot. Bungeed to frame and drove home. God bless cordless impacts, harbor freight floor jacks, and friends to take you to grab them.

    Thoughts on a Ryobi Impact and Compressor for College bound Daughter

    I’ve got a 1/2” Ryobi, not sure which model. It presses me. 3/4 ton tires and suspension work, it hasn’t batted an eye at. I have that inflator. It was awesome. Until it wasn’t. It ended up after a few years squalling like a stuck hog and basically burning up. I used it mostly for mower tires...

    Vice Grip Garage Choice of Tools

    Of course O’Reilly sponsors him, he’s not trying to hide it. Whether he’s buying a couple hundred dollars of tools at hobo freight or Oreillys giving him tools and parts and he leaves them all behind, big deal. The premise of most of the show is go find some car in a hedgerow, and with some...

    Lowes refusing to warranty Kobalt

    Stuff (employees) like this when it happens to me, makes it become my sole mission in life to get them to admit they’re wrong. Sure it’s a $5 socket and it’s going to cost me time and frustration. I’d start calling numbers until the resolution is the store manager that told me it wasn’t...
