Using a quality pen, or notebook, or laptop, or the newest smartphone, or bottle opener, or anything else, is great. The experience of using a quality set of power tools also seems to outdo everything else, though.

In an effort to help us build the things we want without the time consuming process of measuring, drilling and nailing, there's the PLY90 ... continue reading
On the list of things we despise doing, cleaning the gutters barely beats out picking up feminine hygiene products for our lady friend.

If you shell out 30 bucks, you'll never have ... continue reading
There's something about bladed weapons that's just inherently manly. Knives, swords, daggers, axes, even the weird Klingon weapons from Star Trek, are awesome. Pocket knives are just as cool, even though they're not as big, because they're much more convenient and portable. But finding one that fits you perfectly (in ... continue reading
