This thread is solely dedicated to stuff that's been time-tested and proven to kick a$$. In other words, the sh!t you're stocked on b/c it's tough and worked better than you could ever hope for. If it's new to you, it doesn't belong here.


i have and use a lot of tools, but i have never used or abused one as hard as this lil fugger.


most mcgyverish sh1t ever invented. if you don't know, you're really missing out (and throwing away perfectly fixable stuff). *note: "household" goop is NOT uv resistant - get this or the "RV" stuff instead.


i treat my outerwear like chris farley treated his hair and spend a great deal of time in it. gore tex sh1t is insanely expensive. this company makes by far the most bomber per $ outerwear i've ever used + their custy cervix is vanguard.

Has greatly extended the life of many surf and dive suits.

Mix and pour and get a crystal clear, uber strong and thick coat. Have used on abalone shells and varnish alternative on table tops/misc woodwork. Ridiculously easy to use, pour on and leave alone till dry.

This was Leo's first design for an electric guitar. More or less unchanged for over 60 years, it works in any kind of music. Its simplicity is what gives it is versatility as well as its flexibility. Not to mention, you can drag it behind your car on the way to the gig and not only will it still work but it will probably sound better



Right after he invented the Telecaster, he went and invented a whole new instrument. Once again, the standard was set then and "improvements" have only cut versatility. Much like the Telecaster, Leo pretty much got it right the first time and ever other manufacturer hasn't been able to match the simplicity, versatility, and flexibility.

I've had one of these for about 20 years of heavy constant use. Whenever I go to Home Depot or Lowes I check them out. They are the only items left on the tool shelf that are not made in China. They are still made in Switzerland. I keep thinking I should get one before they go to China but hell, the 20 year old saw still works like new. Best tool I've ever owned.



ps on a side note I bought a Dewalt angle grinder because it was Made in the USA and the thing is a POS, Had switch problems right off the bat and they told me I had to hand deliver to a place in Long Beach to get it fixed.
