I have specific criteria for work gloves. First, the gloves have to fit, meaning that when I’m wearing them, the answer to the following questions must be yes: Can I reach into my pouch and feel how many screws or nails I have between my fingers? Can I manipulate my tool triggers – especially the [...]
On some interior remodeling projects it feels like we spend more time protecting the existing home from the work being done than doing the actual work. And, of course, a big part of this set-up is protecting existing floors from demolition and construction traffic. We’ve tried all kinds of tricks to take the pain [...]
It took about 1 second to see the The Simple Sucker by Striker and know this dumbbell-looking find is pretty darn smart. Two suction cups on a stick (oversimplifying here, slightly) The Simple Sucker is a mount for your phone. Stick one suction cup a smooth surface (counter, windshield, airplane tray table, etc.) and the other [...]

Mark is fired up about Ram Ride and Drive. He’s ready for the fully-loaded Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel King Cab.
Searching for the right tool or fastener on the job gets expensive, one second at a time all day long. I’m costing myself effort and bucks every time I have to fumble for something or pry a pocket open, so a belt that holds the stuff I use 80 percent of the time is elemental [...]
I’ve used Diablo circ saw blades for years—especially for rough and finish framing on my circ and table saws. While many blades have coatings, Diablo’s coating is robust and resists accumulating pitch from cutting sappy framing lumber. But as far as recip saw blades go, well, I use what I’ve been using: mostly bi-metal demo [...]
I’ve tried different ways to stash my phone in my tool pouch with varying degrees of success and durability. Typically, hard plastic “holsters” have served me best.
