We should have a place to post all those tools and/or accessories we just can't do without
(or that were told we can't)

How did we EVER get by before such modern innovations were invented

Ladder Grabber EXT Review | Pro Tool Reviews


Obviously there always someone somewhere feels that an idea deserves merit

Then again just maybe there's a day your trying to carry one too many things at once! :D

This is another interesting one

18" Power Distribution Tool Bag

Run an extension cord and turn your your tool bag into an outlet center

And surge power protected so you wont burn your stuff up
But considering they do sell outlet strips in fact I keep one in my too bag

Again I'm like really surprised I lived this long without it :D

I could actually see some potential in it after having previously lost some of my tool investment on a job site a couple of years ago. Seems to get worse every year. Keeping your gear close by is a priority for me. Nothing is out of my sight anymore.

There already is the HF tools that don't suck, and the impact driver threads. What else is there? :laughing:

just kidding, this could get good. My backhoe comes to mind, and the impact driver.

If you want you can give them the startup money (I guess they need money to build the worlds smartest toolbox :) )

Me and my bud have always used a 5 gallon bucket for both tools and beer...just not at the same time!! :D


I confess to having Rockbox though

Tools and tunes!

Makes you wonder if there's any room for any useful tools in that box?

I like these better....

Since I got a tractor(s) I have pretty much retired my wheelbarrow, pick-mattock and shovel...
...I don't want to go back to those days...!

I carry a Leatherman SURGE all day, every day and use it at least 10 times a day. Saves dozens of steps daily...having something that most likely will do the trick WITH YOU...priceless...saves these knees as well as time!

Surge - Leatherman

And, this holster is just the ticket to carry the SURGE, a flashlight, and other needed items. Sturdy and very affordable.

Clip Pock-Its XL Utility Holster

Don't leave home without these, your cell phone, and your CCL. :forbidden:

Apparently still just a kid but the sandbox got a bit bigger? Almost looks like work. :D
Yep, I am well into my second childhood, but I am in complete control this time! :D

It may be work, but it is fun work.

My buddy has one of the Leatherman tools he carry's with him all the time. Uses it while he is at work being a custodian for town properties and offices he's always finding something to do with it. Somebody gave me a knockoff version of one also has the adjustable wrench and a belt clip. I find it a little to heavy to want to carry it around with me but I keep it in the storage console of my vehicle all the time. :D

Hah. That's cool all right. I doubt it would survive in my shop beneath all of the sawdust, fertilizer and grease.

I have a couple of Leatherman tools that just don't see much use because of the size and weight. I started carrying a Swiss Army knife several years ago and I couldn't do without it. I seem to always have a screw to tighten. I couldn't do with just a plain pocket knife anymore.
