Contour Gauge 5-Inch with Lock
Press the teeth against baseboard trim or odd pipe runs, throw the clamp, and carry the exact profile back to your workbench.
The bench itself: laying out, marking, drilling, joining and keeping the edges that do the cutting.
33 pieces land here, drawn from 4 shelves.
Most of what goes wrong at a bench went wrong before anything was cut. Marking tools earn their space by making the mistake visible while it is still a line.
Making the same part twice is a job for a jig, a stop block or a template. Doing it by measurement each time introduces a new error each time.
Chains, blades and bits go dull long before they wear out. A file and a stone at the bench keep a working edge for years.
Contour gauges, folding rules, angle finders and marking tools that copy a shape onto a plank before the saw touches it.

Press the teeth against baseboard trim or odd pipe runs, throw the clamp, and carry the exact profile back to your workbench.

This kit pairs tough alloy bits with an adjustable magnetic ratchet handle for tight cabinet corners and loose bench hardware.

Circles and straight mortises need clean pivots, so we built this aluminum base to guide your palm router through sheet goods and hardwood boards.

Set the center nut once, clamp the aluminum guide to the drawer face, and drill the handle holes where they belong without marking each front by hand.

Aluminum hardware jig sets your drill holes at matched spacing across cabinet faces so handles and pulls line up straight across the room.

A pocketable case of machined steel bits paired with a ratcheting driver handle that converts to a T grip when stubborn fasteners refuse to turn.

Six distinct striking tools cover everything from framing a shed corner to seating soft pine joints without leaving a dent.

A full tray of chrome-vanadium magnetic sockets, deep wells, and adapters built to grab fast and stay locked on the bolt head.
Small stick welders, torch heads and the gear for joining, heating and freeing metal in a home garage.

Smooth general purpose steel electrodes that strike quickly on AC or DC and leave light slag that chips away with a wire brush.

These general mild steel electrodes strike easily on smaller home welders and leave a smooth bead across awkward joints.

A small stick welder that runs on wall power with five click stops for carbon steel and repair joints around the shop.

A handheld stick welder in an orange housing, small enough for one hand and built to run standard rods on fence posts, brackets and scrap steel.

A handheld stick welder shaped like a torch for fence repairs, iron brackets, and carbon steel fixes around the yard.

A handheld stick welder that fits in one hand, runs small rods on thin iron and gate frames, and plugs straight into the wall out in the shop.
Short bar saws for limbs, storm cleanup and firewood rounds, with the chains, bars and files that keep them cutting.

A cordless grinder with preset angle guides to dress dull chain teeth right on the bar without dragging an extension cord across the yard.

A handheld cordless chain saw built with a copper motor to clear fallen limbs and prune fence rows without cords trailing behind.

Small desktop saw built for trimming model stock, thin boards, copper pipe, and plastic without setting up a full bench saw.
The bench is where a job slows down enough to be done properly. Nothing is urgent there, the light is good and the piece is held still, so this is the page for tools that reward a bit of setup.
It covers three stages in a row. Laying out with rules, gauges and angle finders. Making the joint with drivers, jigs and a small welder for metal. Then upkeep, which is filing a chain, dressing a blade and putting the edge back on the things that lost it during the week.
The bar length on our mini chainsaw is not the limb thickness it handles. Here is where the line really falls, and what happens past it.
One number sets how hard a tool pulls, the other sets how long. Also the part most brands skip: our packs are not one family.
The tool that turns a door casing into a pencil line. How to press it, when to lock it, and which length to reach for.
A dull chain makes dust instead of chips and asks you to push. What the angles mean, and why touching up beats grinding.
What a 110V inverter and a box of E6013 will and will not do in a home garage, and how to keep the breaker out of it.
Thirty identical holes, drilled once. How the jig sets centers and edge distance, and the order that keeps a run of doors matching.
Answer two questions about what is in front of you and the finder points at the shelf that handles it.
