I like Boker, I occasionally carry a fixed blade that was a neck knife clipped in my pocket. Today is a Titanium, damascus Spyderco and a lynch deep pocket carry clip. cause I have a collared shirt

It actually is my wifes hatchet. LOL Se saw it and said oh how cute I want it. First time we used it for limbing up our trees with a 6.0 battery. It kicked my ***. the battery lasted longer than expected so I didn't get a break I would have liked.

One of a few spydeco knives I carry. Got this one for when people ask to borrow at work.

I have my father's saws. I use them occasional. But they both run great once you get them started. But for around the house this gets used most of the time.

We live in the AC for 3 months out of the year. Only go out if you have too. Also if you are working in the heat, start early 6-6:30 am. I have found if you work in the heat and for 8hrs, in the morning it is "bearable" but if you try to start in the afternoon, might as well give up. Hydrate!!!!!!

I decided that I am using 90% of them, even the few that were obviously his (He did love to go to estate sales and pick up random tools) there are a few machinist tolls and older "rare" tools that were his. Several he engraved his name on so I know he was using these in the 50's. I do have a lot...

I am in the same boat but do not use tools for my profession, only maintenance and hobbies. Fixing my Jeep or others occasionally. I have decide to incorporate my FIL tools into mine and pass some to my son. When I do pick up a file, wrench or whatever I will be reminded of my FIL who loved...

I actually use standard more than metric, my daily driver is a work truck and I am at the point in my life I can afford to pay someone to fix/maintain the daily vehicles. I have a 1978 CJ 5 that is ALL standard, I rarely work on my sons Cherokee that is a mix of Standard and metric. My...

Considered the same, something USA made in the 50's or 60's may not be as good quality as something china made in this century. But I was raised in a family that was pro union so USA made still means something to me.

My Son (26) will get some for sure.

So I am contemplating what to do with some tools I inherited from my FIL. I've recently just started going through some tools that were my FIL's. Mostly Wrenches that were USA Craftsman, Long C a few, Snap On, Williams Etc. Some were his some I suspect were picked up at estate sales. Anyways I...

Going through some of my FIL tools that I inherited. Only picked usa made or items I knew he had for some time.

Oh I'd be afraid of that one. I have one from my dad not 220 though it is 110V. It is not grounded, 110 shock is survivable. When my dad was younger he was using it to drill a hole in a beam overhead in a barn. That day it had rained and it was wet. He got hit with 110 before he finished the...

I hook mine on the bucket over the tongue jack. Bucket protects the electric jack from sun damage. Chains keep the bucket on. Also would protect the plastic handle on a manual jack. Bucket gets replaced every 3-5 years. Not my set up pictured but same concept.

Didn't happen to find my USA Craftsman 1980's 3/8" combo wrench did you?
