When you think about manly clothing accessories, the apron is probably not the first thing that comes to mind, but it should be. If there was any company that could make the manliest of them [...]

We've loved all the leather goods from Corter Leather for quite some time. In fact, if they had a physical storefront, we'd have the exact opposite reaction of a cow upon seeing it - sheer [...]

How many times has this happened to you? You're out back enjoying a few beers with your friends when you get the urge to fire up the grill for a couple of burgers. You leave the [...]

When it comes to grilling, we try to be purists. We're guilty of the occasional gas cook out of sheer convenience, but we always feel bad about it when we take the first bite out [...]

Multi-tools are great. You can have pliers, scissors, screwdrivers, a few blades and even a ruler all in one hand whenever you need it. But what happens, MacGuyver, when you run across a bomb that [...]

Knowing you absolutely don't need something does not make it any easier to rationalize not buying it. The fifteenth pair of sneakers, a nuke proof phone case and these Escort Carbon Fiber Daggers all fit [...]

We don't often turn to Think Geek when we're looking to purchase a serious product. Yeah, they're first on our list for bacon-flavored gumballs and new ways to inject ourselves with caffeine, but for a tool [...]

Buffing and polishing anything is a pain in the ass. We put up with it for our cars because it gives us an excuse to stand outside in the nice weather and spend some quality [...]

It takes balls to call your product "The Best ______ Ever." If BK put out "The Best Burger Ever," you don't think the suits at Mickey-D's wouldn't take that as the initial act of a coming [...]

There are some things you don't think of often but end up using quite a bit. Like when we first saw Packaway Buckets, we thought, "Do we really need to spend $30 on a collapsible bucket [...]

Try to use a standard black crowbar in the dark and not look like you're thief or a criminal.  Impossible.  Go ahead, try and pry open a crate at night and not appear to be [...]

Cards on the table, we haven't picked up a guitar in ages. We were never very good at it to begin with, so it serves a much better purpose hanging on the wall as art [...]

We're tired of using the toothpick in our Swiss Army Knife as a unit of measurement. "How far down the block should we make the notch? About 2-1/2 toothpicks, right?" Not only is that not accurate, it [...]

As guys, we don't need overly decorated or visually appealing tools. We make our investments based on functionality cause we plan on beating the crap out of them. Most of the time. Sometimes we find [...]

How many of you reading this have contingency plans prepared for the zombie apocalypse? Be honest. Even before The Walking Dead (one of the few reasons we'll actually get out of bed on Sunday), Romero [...]
