Multitools never quite work for me although I have a few. The Leatherman Surge is my favorite for tools, but it's huge and heavy. These days I EDC a nice knife, small bit changer screwdriver w/ bits, a tiny tape measure, a pen, and a notebook. I'll add in pliers if needed but I can usually do...

Fluke makes one as well.

Trying to be frugal, I bought the Ernst and they didn't quite work for me in my box (SO KRSC326). I just got the Toolbox Widget stuff and it's much better. I'm trying to cram 8 wrench sets into one drawer, my offsets don't fit but everything else does. The magnets are strong enough for me, I'm...

I have the 3M as well. They work great, although the fidelity is terrible if you care about that sort of thing.

Thorogood moc toes with the Superfeet green insoles for me.

Data guy here When talking splitting signal to go to multiple TV's, are you using a cable box or something like a Roku/Apple TV/FireStick? -Cable box: Run RG6 to each TV from the single cable box, and use a splitter at the cable box to go to each TV. You won't be able to easily change the...

I'm not a drainage expert although I'd be willing to be a lot of your water issue comes from that driveway.

I live in the rust belt and have never used it, nor have I had any problems from not using it.

Apparently not enough. I'm always looking at new ones to get.

Edit: Sorry, I’m a dope sometimes

I've got a few myself, very nice bags. I've got the Tech LC as my main home tools bag, the Tech MC as my smaller travel tools bag, and the Tech XL for the large stuff. I also have the backpack that I used as my work bag but I don't do that stuff anymore so it just sits. I also have the older...

I’ve got the Mityvac as well, it works great.

If you have a lot of leaves I would strongly consider going with a backpack over a handheld. I originally went with a Stihl BG-86, the strongest they make (made?) a few years back. It did great, although it took longer than I wanted to spend and you can really only blow into separate piles...

I've got Snap On, SK, Proto, and US Craftsman. They're all nice quality items. Snap On is my regular stuff that I use and the SK comprises my mobile sets. Proto is SAE only so it never gets used and the Craftsman was my first set and getting saved to give to my boys when they're old enough.

Ortronics, Panduit, and Leviton all offer basically anything telecom related. Ortronics and Panduit are a step up from Leviton if you're looking for something "better" As mentioned, an RJ45 jack will work just fine with an RJ11 plug. In my line of work we won't even bother with an RJ11 jack any...
