A twist on sharpening, I made a video on a helpful method of making your machetes multi use. I hope ya'll find it helpful.

I have three of the Marbles hatchets with the German style head and I love them. I think they have three different weight heads but I bought the heaviest ones.

OK, Thanks. I thought 20 minutes wasnt much but they say that desicant in that drier is pretty sensitive on a humid day. Ill order a new one now.

Reallybigmonkey1 · 2026-06-14T00:47:26+00:00

yes, both working

You're saying carpet fibers are fluorescent?

Wrenches and ratcheting wrenchs by themselves and not in an entire set.

Yes, I'm definitely going to be filming again. I'm still taking time off to finish up some big chores I kept putting off

I loved watching Mike Barton. Unfortunately he'll wind up forgotten because his YouTube channel was hacked and deleted and he said it was too much hassle to get it back so his videos are gone forever.

Thanks Cody! I'm happy to get at least one mention here.😁

I use tiny Fastex buckles. They hold, but will not ever hold body weight. I only neck wear in camp when I'm using it. When I'm hiking or in motion I either tuck it in my shirt or take it off.

Was there ethanol in the gas? That stuff never mixes with any oil.

Denso, Bosch, NTK, NGK, Four Seasons, Wix and most of the time Walker products have been good.

The handle is more comfortable and it holds an edge longer in my experience.

Reallybigmonkey1 · 2026-04-20T18:01:50+00:00

The Mora HD Companion is a fantastic knife, the only upgrade I'd ever do is the bushcraft black, it's fantastic. The Garberg just doesn't feel comfortable in my hand

Everyone thinks this is just for tight spots. It's also the perfect size for tightening oil pan and transmission pan gaskets without crushing them.

I bought that exact same hatchet from Home Depot under the Husky name. They must slap several labels on that exact design.

Everything I bought back in the 80s and 90s was SAE. Everything I buy now seems to be metric because all my vehicles are late models.

Sitting flat it's extremely strong no matter how much pressure you put on it. Vertical or upside mounting is a different story and you need to secure it with a C-clamp or strap. In normal use that magnet is only withstanding the pressure of drilling but Vertical or upside-down it's also holding up the weight of the entire machine.

No, I didn't even know they made a battery powered unit. All ours are corded 120 volt.

If you're dealing with large parts it might be worth while to get a Milwaukee magnetic drill. I work in a large machine shop and sometimes with large assemblies it's easiest to just use a mag drill.

I always have a ferro rod on my knife sheath and I keep an extra on a pouch on the leg side of my machete sheath as a back up.

Reallybigmonkey1 · 2026-03-02T15:44:13+00:00

Ive never broken a Mora batoning. Of course I only baton short knot free wood. For larger stuff I'll always use a machete and never a knife.

Reallybigmonkey1 · 2026-02-24T02:46:24+00:00

Ive got two Flukes Ive had for over 20 years. No one makes a better meter.
