Thanks. I will need to do some comparisons and sorting before I really know everything that I got. I already noticed a set of double sided sockets that are pretty interesting.

Did you ever get this? I just happened upon a stash of Bonney stuff including a top chest at a garage sale. I'd like to know how to compare it to other offerings.

I like the Larry 2 by Nebo for my similar light. It also has a laser pointer

This is not a plastic gas can. This is a metal Jerry Can for filling vehicles. I would prefer to leave it on the vehicle so that it is above the gas tank so I can siphon. I can't very well siphon from the ground can I. The reason I don't just use the filler nozzle is that they are awkward and...

I have a gas can that I keep in the Jeep. It has one of those crappy CARB approved gas spilling spouts. I decided that it is just easier to leave the "jerry can" in the back of the Jeep and siphon gas into the tank using some vinyl hose from Home Depot. From my industrial safety training, I...

I think I'll keep with what I have until I break it. Then I'll look for some "veg tan" leather and get a hard and durable sheath. I probably won't be doing any stitching. If anything I might lace the edges on the next one using some paracord or leather webbing.

Yeah, I wouldn't leave it on there around town, because that's just ridiculous. I wouldn't need an axe on the Jeep in town and otherwise it's just unnecessary. Plus it would probably get stolen. The rack is in paint process right now too. I'm thinking of making up some sort of brand and...

I have my first attempt completed. I wish the leather was of heavier stock, but this is what the hobby shop had. I think that other people's ideas to use Kydex would have been cool too. I'm going to look into that next time I want to be creative. Here's the pics: My Jeep with an axe. This is...

I bought some leather working tools and supplies yesterday. I will attempt to make something tonight. Bear with me.

Thanks for the info. I'll check my hobby shop today. I knew this place would be great for it. Can I get pics of your axe sheath mdbeck1?

I like this idea. I might take some rubber heater/vacuum hose I have and slit it and make a blade cover with a strap to go around the handle. Hmmm. Will update when I get it done. I would like to be able to make my own leather sheath and use the laser engraver at work to write "bad mother f'er"...

I am thinking about doing that. Where do you suppose I should look for thick grade leather? Google search comes up with a bunch of bike leather and alternative hobby shops.

I bought a Fiskers chopping ax for camping and off roading and such. It came with a crappy plastic "sheath" that broke. I'm looking for aftermarket nylon or leather sheaths that might fit this ax. If necessary, I could try to make a sheath for it, but I don't know how to work with leather or...

seriously. Put it by the door, then if you want to fight the fire you can go back and will have the door to retreat to.

I seriously doubt that you've never had to do any engine repair in 30 years. Do you qualify this by saying no rebuilt heads or bad cylinders or what? What about cooling systems and head gaskets? You never change those?

Got an email from Sears today. Gearwrench full polish ratcheting wrenches 8-piece set are 50% off. Online only. The set is now 39.99 for either metric or SAE. What does everyone think of these wrenches? I'm thinking about picking up a set.

Many people die from ladder falls each year. It's a sad thing to hear about somebody's dad that died falling off a ladder trying to hang christmas lights or something stupid like that.

You can find portable spill containment online. They are meant for storing chemicals outside in barrels (in case of leaks). They make vinyl tubular triangles that would work pretty well.

There were always tools laying around my house when I was a kid. They were my dad's leftovers and I used to play with them. I actually got my first tools for christmas when I was about 10. I used random tools from my collection and borrowed a lot from neighbors to work on my bikes as a kid. When...

At my work, we had the same issue of T5 vs T8 for some lighting replacement. From our research, the technology in some of the nicer T5 fixtures was better. Also some of the T5 bulbs had longer life. This was really important to us because we had 40 ft overhead trusses to mount the lights to. It...
