well then i'll make the first post: get ahold of a plash palatka. extremely durable, has many uses (tarp, tent, sack, hoodie, ect), is waterproof, best thing you can bring along for lightweight camping. just make sure it was waxed first.

~$35 and you can find it on ebay

I recommend Nutnfancy on youtube for all reviews

Lolol

yall got any modern brand tool suggestions?
most stuff today is plastic and not reliable like an old black and decker

For outdoor power tools you won't beat Stihl.

Milwaukee is really good for other stuff if you can afford it

DeWalt is cheaper and almost as good quality. Good for hobbyists and home owners

Craftsman is always good, but apparently they won't be honoring their warranty soon.

Don't take my word on that

I use Klein screwdrivers

ive never worked with any Stihl tools but ive heard good things

craftsman has gone down in quality.... lots of plastic now

old craftsman tools are the tits

ive only had good experiences with dewalt, but am open to trying a new brand

Milwaukee tools all day everyday! I stand by Milwaukee, my only choice. Hand tools and power

Milwaukee lineman pliers stomp the shit out of Kline tools. Buy them for life and they are cheaper in price by about 20 bucks

Hammers Eastwing straight claw. Tack hammers Eastwing as well.

fuck its nice talkin about tools when youre surrounded by liberal cucks and fags

Never had a problem with Ridgid. But pros in HVAC have always sworn by DeWalt

both of my grandpas' tools still hold up better than anything new

@Goose Jewish tool cucking

lol wut?

@Goose same here I work for a 67 year old who has 40+ year old tools of his own, and he also has tools we use that his dad used.

@RevStench dude thats awesome!

old drill sets fetch a pretty penny at auctions nowadays

We do historic preservation so it makes sense we still use old tools.
I worked around an electrician who used an old wooden tool box, it was sweet.

Old hand planes are 100 times better than the "best" one made these days. New ones are cheesy and cheap feeling.

Eastwing makes the best hammers

@Goose All my Craftsman wrenches are 100% steel

@RevStench nice thats what i grew up doing in NOLA

Bro, I bought them only a few years ago

@John O - do you work in utilities?

No

Commercial electrical

Oh ok. I noticed some of the stuff you're around and was curious.

Actually I watched some guys lay underground power lines and I was like I wonder if that's the kind of work Johno does.

Nope

I would like to suggest a tape measure, if you don't already have a preference.
Milwaukee so sweet. I dropped this one 3 stories on to pavement and it didn't screw it up, I had the tape locked about 48in out. One of the magnets broke out but no big deal.
