    JUNE 2023 TOTM ( tool of the month)

    Cord management kit. This has been quite helpful re all manner of electronica. The roll of “u-cut-it” “Velcro” wrap and the net tubes have been the most used items to date. Indeed I have augmented this kit with more of the netting tube already.

    Maybe? It was my bad and I didn't want to wait on a repair.

    This is absolutely the best shop/gunsmith apron ever:



    Not cheap, though: https://armageddongear.com/product/gunsmith-apron/

    Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....

    Light colored shop apron to shine lighter colored shoes. Made in the USA. sewn in MO in fact.

    Harry Epstein’s is a great old school tool store. Buy with confidence.

    Wow! Thanks for posting that link. How did I not know this place existed? Note: they even carry these old ass ammo cans (from WWI?). I have a few and use them in the shop. They are super cool. Lightweight, metal can with history. These cans are out there, but availability seems spotty.
    All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
    No one is coming. It is up to us.

    Knipex Folding Work Knife. I bought one for the tool box, one for a stocking stuffer and an extra.

    KC tool actually had them a bit cheaper last week but the linked price is still solid. 19 ish.

    TOTM Oct 2023. Finally caught up.

    LL’s tip on the micro stream light flashlights seems fitting.

    I got really excited for a second and then realized it was the battery cpversion and not the USB. Still a great buy but I'm trying to chase out of the physical/disposable battery business.

    Still can't seem to find any rechargeable AA/AAA batteries that are worth a damn long-term.
    Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
