A guy's toolbox is in pristine condition for approximately two weeks after it is purchased. After that, it resembles a kitchen junk-drawer of loose screws, nails, power tools, hand tools and random things you didn't even realize you owned ("When did I get a digital level?"). In hopes of rectifying this ugly situation ... continue reading
We've never had an experience where we were manning the grill and some sniper tried to pick us off and snatch our porterhouse or a grenade was lobbed at our feet and a gang of guerrilla fighters waited on our soon available Igloo Cooler. We have however needed two tables worth of room to spread out all the gear we ... continue reading

It seems kind of random but we like how professional chefs keep their knives in a roll-up then lay them out when it's time to go to town on a whole pig. The simplicity of having all your tools for a job compacted like that is something we'd love for any and all of our interests. While riding your bike around with ... continue reading
At first glance this does not look like something you'd want to stick under the hood of your car, the crevice under the sink or even carry around in general. The Striker Light Mine Professional is the steroid injected version of Striker's original Magnetic Light Mine and is far more useful to you (a civilian we assume) ... continue reading
You don't bring a knife to a gunfight, but you bring one everywhere else. You never know when you might need to cut some cheese, sharpen a stick or spring a trap so it's good to be prepared. Even better if the knife is a multi-tool because then you can also use it to repair your gun as well. Victorinox (the Swiss Army ... continue reading

If you dumped the average guy’s toolbox into a Tumi messenger bag or a Diesel backpack and slapped it on someone they’d tip over like Snooki at 3am. Unless you plan on using tools around your own house only, you’re going to need a more convenient means to transport them. Whether you’re out and something ... continue reading
If we tried to carry around all the tools we need on a frequent basis we’d either need to lug around a toolbox 24/7 or get comfortable with the idea of wearing a tool belt as a stylish accessory. Neither option sounded ultra appealing to us so we went in search of something just as useful yet far more convenient. ... continue reading
With rooftop gardens popping up in Brooklyn and big-name chefs touting their locally grown produce, gardening is enjoying a bit of a guy-friendly rebirth of sorts. Despite being dominated by the likes of Martha Stewart and fuchsia-shaded kneeling pads for the last few decades, gardening is – and always was – ... continue reading
Measure twice, cut once. It's been ingrained in our psyche since we were five years old and dad showed us that hammers were for things other than hitting our little brother. Unfortunately, math has never really been our strong suit and using a tape measure is hard, so we always end up with a piece of wood that's more ... continue reading
If at first glance you’re wondering what an ueli steak is and why you would need a special knife to cut one you’ve obviously never heard of Ueli Steck the professional Mountaineer, speed climber and - some might say - mythological figure. Steck has set speed records all over the world and crushed Eiger North ... continue reading

This Tin Cloth Shop Apron is a perfect example of an apron you might find protecting a ... continue reading
Forged in the molten fires of Mordor, this knife is more powerful than any ring, wizard or dwarf. Ok, we're kidding. This knife wasn't really crafted in Mordor because Mordor doesn't exist. If it did though... In any event, this multi-purpose blade is laboriously hand-crafted from a single piece of 55Si7 spring steel ... continue reading

Building things with your bare hands isn't just something you enjoy doing, it's essential in some way to our continued existence as men. ... continue reading
