It’s designed to hold everything a BBQ enthusiast needs so that they never have to leave the grill. It’s got places for your tools, pockets for your sauces and seasonings, loops for your lighter, a thermometer, a place for your smart phone, insulated beer pockets and The Chamber TM – a special sealed and insulated pocket that holds a spare unopened beer. It also has a professional-grade “speed opener” – the kind you see bartenders use – attached to a heavy-duty retractable reel. No more fumbling for a bottle opener and no more “misfires” because of a second-rate tool. This is a great feature at tailgates and backyard BBQ parties. The Pit Boss is designed to be rugged and it looks the part. Details include 1680 Denier fabric, heavy-duty double stitched seams, reinforced pocket stitching, and a die-cast belt buckle. With a regular tool belt, you never misplace your hammer or measuring tape. With the Pit Boss you’ll never misplace your tongs, sauce or a frosty beverage. Just like a regular tool belt, when you’re done with the job, hang up the belt and it’s all right there, ready for next time you grill. The Pit Boss makes an outstanding gift for anyone who loves to grill, tailgate or for “the man who has everything”. Available now at www.bbqpitbossbelt.com
It started out with 16,000 contestants and was narrowed down to 6 this past weekend. I have written how unskilled I am with tools, so it was amazing to me to see real Tradesman working their craft. When it was all said and done, Daniel “Bam Bam” Shepherd a carpenter from Halifax England, stood alone as the Ultimate Tradesman! In this contest, the contestants had to remove two different sized pipe fittings using the Irwin Vise Grip Groovelock pliers, then use an Irwin Square and pencil to mark three lines on a 2x4x24 piece of wood, secure the wood, cut the wood, then drill two holes (all using Irwin tools of course) and placing the board into two pegs unveiled when the pipe fittings were removed.

First things first to have gadgets for a man cave; you have to have a man cave. If you need to build a man cave, your first stop should be at Lowes Home Improvement. Lowes is quickly becoming the official home improvement store for Gotta Have Gadget. Whatever makes a job easier for me is a Gotta Have Gadget. The Kobalt 1.5hp 26-gallon portable air compressor is one of those gadgets. The cool thing about the Kobalt 26-gallon compressor is it comes with 49-piece pneumatic tool kit. If you are building your man cave, why bang a hammer when you can use a compressor, impact wrench and nail gun? When using a nail gun, there is nothing more frustrating than using a small compressor and having to wait for the compressor while you are nailing. Read the rest of this entry
This Gotta Have Gadget is for you tool guys. I will honestly tell you my brother John Conrad would laugh his ass off every time he came to my house and I pulled out my little red toolbox. Well I have the last laugh now! The new Kobalt 53 Stainless Steel Tool Chest will be the envy of the neighborhood. It will take me 10 years to fill up the 16 heavy-duty drawers, and with the 1,000lbs casters and 4,000lbs weight capacity I will have plenty of shopping to do at Lowes. Im willing to bet my credit limit will run out before I fill this tool chest and test the weight limits! Not only will the Kobalt tool chest save me time running back and forth to get more tools, but when its break time I just reach to the bottom left door, open the built in 1.6 cubic foot refrigerator and pop open a cold one.
