    What knife are you carrying today?

    Now I have to dig through my tackle boxes. I am sure I still have a Barlow knife like that kicking around. That is unless one of my kids snagged it when I told them to help themselves and take whatever fishing stuff they wanted.

    What knife are you carrying today?

    This is the one I carry most of the time. It's German made by Karl Asbeck. I like it because it is thin and I barely notice it in my pocket. I have had it for about 20 years although when when I was working I carried bigger pocket knives. Now they all sit in my drawer or in the console of my...

    What knife are you carrying today?

    Ha, she just delivered a baby a couple months ago. I told her it was a good time to practice for her own delivery.

    What knife are you carrying today?

    She is 32 weeks pregnant right now and working. She has been on modified duty for the last couple months. Her last work day is this Friday and she won't be going back to work for quite a while after her baby is born. Knives are zero priority for her especially with her scatterbrained mind right...

    What knife are you carrying today?

    When my daughter was training to be a paramedic she asked me if I had an extra Leatherman kicking around. I lent her a Wave model and of course never got it back.

    Jumper cable/Charger clamps

    I made a set out of 2/0 welding cable with good clamps. I had to boost my SIL a couple years ago when it was -40. They worked well.

    Amazon Prime Day

    Not really a tool or probably not a prime deal but I'm addicted to these now after my neighbour gave me a couple. I bought a new motor for my rv awning last week and I also bought a couple packs of these Chimes too. I think they are only sold in Health food stores or Amazon. CHIMES Ginger...

    2026 Garage Sale Thread (15th Annual)

    I have the same model leatherman I bought from a garage sale about 10 years ago. It was in new condition and I leave it in my truck because my daughter borrowed my Wave forever.

    2026 Garage Sale Thread (15th Annual)

    There weren't many garage sales around these parts this weekend but I did find a couple worth while. The first I picked up a Mitutoyo depth gauge for $10 and a new hammer handle ($2) which was the size I needed. Then after a couple lousy sales I found one with lots of tools. It took quite a bit...

    Get a hook into it!

    I use a hockey stick with the blade cut off and a screw about an inch from the end. It stays in the box of my truck.

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    I bought this Snap On one back around 1978. I was an apprentice welder working in a machine shop. The truck came around and I bought the cheapest one that he had. I use it as a welding cart now and will probably let it go when I sell the welder.

    Let's see your axes

    Here's a couple more I have out at our resort property. One is a 3 1/2 pound Swedish one. Another is a 2 ¼ pound Swedish with Happy Days All star on the handle. I think the axe might have been a rental. The other has M5 stamped on the head. I put a new handle on it about 10 years ago.

    Let's see your axes

    I have a couple I picked up a few years ago that are in really good condition with original handles. They stay hanging in my shed for the time being. One is a Mastercraft 3 ½ pound one made by Mann Edge probably back in the late 70's or early 80's. The other is another 3 ½ pound one made in...
