Only 1 very slight bitch ....ergonomically should have a little more width on the aft end of the handle....

I wasn't sure if this would be about idiots or the band. Well color me surprised that it is about actual tools.

harbor freight is a good place for the non-professional handyman. Most of the tools wouldn't hold up with daily use, but I recently purchased a table top wet saw for a tile backsplash job for $45 after the coupon. Can't beat that. I may never use the thing again, but it did the job and cost half of renting one.
Also bought a circular saw at HF recently with a nice laser guide. It did outstanding. I may use it 2-3 times/year.
no offense to Chef, but those little knives can be bought anywhere for a few dollars. I have one I grabbed off the shelf at target. They are handy, but about as unique as a pile of cow shit on a farm.

I love when companies call shit "tactical" when it obviously isn't meant for tactical purposes.
95% of the time, that just means it's black.
Ahhh yes. The power of advertising and how they re-define words to get you to buy stuff. Free markets/advertising and its effects are largely ignored when it comes to identifying societal problems. They prefer to place the blame on other shit. People are stupid, and advertising takes advantage.Louis Lipps Service wrote:I love when companies call shit "tactical" when it obviously isn't meant for tactical purposes.

"Tactical" is a buzzword. It makes idiots in their backyards feel powerful. Even better when you can get cheap chinese shit for under $10, and then turn around and complain that "government" is exporting jobs.
Those knives are throwaways. Likely to break or bend when breaking down boxes, if the edge lasts that long before closing on your hand because of a cheap faulty lock. Some people like cheap disposable shit and don't worry about waste. Just like the cheap poorly made LED flashlights at hardware store check out POP displays (I own two. One still works, the other is kaputt). But hey, capitalism! (feeling ornery today)
I own this one from Spyderco. Nice steel, lightweight, great design, and well built. Adjustable so it fits in both left or right pocket with a hole in the blade for one handed operation. Not too expensive either.
http://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Delica-Flat--5466
In the end it depends on what you want it for. Even the one I own can chip if abused.
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

I bought a compressor at Harbor Freight recently that has worked out very nicely. Whole setup ran me about $100.

Really liked the Undertow album, but wasn't a huge fan after that. This past summer we were in Sedona, AZ. We made a trip up in the mountains to a town called Jerome. Had lunch and never realized the entire time I was eating that Maynard was sitting right across from us. Apparently he owns a winery in the Arizona mountains.

I think they put the little knob to flick it open with your thumb and that calls it tactical. Before we start bashing capitalism, Iets remember we all have free will of what to buy, and we have unlimited options to choose from. I doubt they had those luxuries in the USSR or Cuba.
I bought a $10 knife. It does what I need it to do. Cut a box open here or there. If I had spent $70 on a knife I use around the house to cut a box open here or there, I'd feel like a schmuck.

I actually just bought tickets to the Pittsburgh show.

Yes he does.
Love me some Tool.
The wife's favorite band also. Going to see them in Rochester, NY. Tickets went so fast.

Give Aenima another shot. It's one of the best orchestrated rock albums I've ever heard.

That's a funny story.
My only lunch brush with greatness was in Santa Fe. Me and the future Mrs. and a buddy wandered into a diner for migas outside of Santa Fe after a heavy night of drinking. We sit in a booth in an elevated area and down below us at a table with his wife is Gene Hackman shoveling eggs in his face. It was totally weird for me.
Seems right that rich weirdos would hang out in the high desert.

In my limited experience, any place situated two miles up the sky and in the desert is bound to be bad ass.
I fantasize weekly about somehow living in the high desert again.

Always loved Gene Hackman...
Yes, Jerome was awesome. The drive up was a little scary for someone from Ohio, but it was definitely worth it.
