Suggest Bar Keepers Friend for cleaning up the All-Clad skillets. Been using that stuff since buying our All-Clad cookware and they all still look like new - great stuff. I buy at our local Walmart. Cheers, Tim

Have had several electronic stud finders over the years - the best of them only worked okay. Then a few years ago I read a review of the C.H. Hanson magnetic stud finder that compelled me to give it a try and I can say these are great...

This thread is absolutely blowing my mind - keep up the amazing work and sharing it with us mere mortals! Cheers, Tim

I ordered some super strong Neodymium magnets years ago from K&J Magnetics - and they are still in business: https://www.kjmagnetics.com/ For magnetic pickup tools I like Ullman and Master Magnetics: https://ullmandevices.com/collections/magnetic-pick-up-tools...

For the last 20 years I used corded Toro blowers with variable speed control and replaced them as they wore out/broke - usually about 5 - 7 years or so. Also necessitated having a 100 foot heavy gauge power cable that was a pain in the you know what... Well, for father's day my sons got me the...

Just checked - don't see them in the catalog but they do show up on their website: https://shop.snapon.com/search?q=hard%20grip%20ratchet Interesting... Cheers, Tim

I have the Husky 3/8 and 1/2 sizes from Home Depot and use them for the same purposes you intend - DIY vehicle maintenance, etc. Never had any issues with them and given that their warranty is excellent and easy to deal with should you need to - would most likely serve you well. I also have...

Well - problem solved! Reloaded the digital catalog and this time a download to pdf icon showed up in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Cheers, Tim

Thanks for sharing the links. I was trying to figure out how to download a copy to my computer and so far - no luck. Any ideas or suggestions? Cheers, Tim

I did a bit of research before settling on these 2 Tekton 1/4 inch drive wrenches: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M12284X/?tag=atomicindus08-20 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5ZL2EG/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Bought both because of the different ranges covered and happy with them. The...

Very impressive there 48548! My tool drawers look very similar to yours with lots of stacking and no spare room - just about 1/3 the size of your collection though... Anyways, thanks for sharing. Cheers, Tim

Here is a link to the Stanley one I have: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-1-1-2-in-Razor-Scraper-28-500/202262010 Pretty robust and all metal construction - does a good job. I have considered this similar one available from Garrett Wade which has some additional rubberized edges and looks...

How about a Buck 110 folding knife? I just picked up the drop point version and this think is built like a tank, extremely sharp, and with classic great looks. https://www.buckknives.com/product/110-folding-hunter-knife-drop-point/0110BRS6-B/ Should go along with fishing and crabbing...

I concur with the Snap-on standard length suggestions above as well. Then fill in later with shorter or longer versions as you build your tool holdings. For me Snap-on are well worth the money and an investment that will last a lifetime and can be passed on to future generations. Cheers, Tim

Lots of good suggestions here. I am with MoonRise - sharp knives are essential - love my Wusthof Grand Prix knives... For shears check out these gems from Garrett Wade: https://www.garrettwade.com/stainless-kitchen-household-shears.html I picked these up a few months back and they are really...
