Hello,
I am looking for a staple gun that has a long reach. Maybe around 20-24 inches long.
I am having a hard time finding a staple gun that has this capability.
I need this for installing insulation in a warehouse roof.
I am not able to reach all the way up and I need something
that is long in reach and can staple at the same time.
Thank you  ..read more

Folks, I am searching for a 3/8 drive Craftsman ratchet handle to replace a lost item, from a long while ago. I received a packaged set, bought from Sears, in the early '70's that came with the handle and a set of shallow 12 point sockets, which were in a metal tray. The handle was around 7" long, being about the same length as the socket 'box'. By chance would anyone have information about this ratchet, like model number or the like?
Thanks much ..read more

Has anybody ever switched their regular EDC pocket folder for a custom multi tool? I was doing some “testing and evaluations” this weekend on a trip to the Atlanta area. I’m working mostly on a small sling-bag for “EDC-plus” carry and a small daypack for urban excursions. Cutting weight is important and my EDC had some limitations. I swapped out a pocket folder for a Leatherman P4 and was pleasantly surprised I didn’t feel much of a change either in the pocket or in function. I have normally carried both a pocket folder and multitool, but was needing to trim weight.
Just curious if anybody els ..read more

In the high-stakes world of oil and gas, safety is paramount. The volatile and flammable nature of the materials involved in these industries demands rigorous safety measures, including the use of specialized tools. Non-sparking tools have emerged as a critical component of safety protocols in oil and gas operations. These tools are designed to prevent the generation of sparks, which could potentially ignite explosive gases, making them an essential choice in environments where safety is non-negotiable.
