We are just after This is the Sunday 14 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving twenty twenty five, which is when we traditionally 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: lay out for you our house Whisper Holiday Gift Guide. 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: This is a gift guide of curated items specifically for 17 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: the di wire, the home improvement of ficionado in your life, 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: the lover of manual things and such, and so every 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: year I try and put together this list to help 20 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: give you some insights on great gifts, great gifts for 21 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: these kind of folks. Anyway, Shall we get back to 22 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: the gift guide? All right? How about this the Rogue 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: Fishing Company has put together. Now there are a lot 24 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: of these out there. This is the one I like 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: the best from the Rogue Fishing Company. No, it's not 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: about fishing, not for us, not for our application. The 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: iPhone or the I should say, the smartphone protector and 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: phone tether. It's a leash. It's a leash for your phone. Okay, 29 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: it is a bungee cord kind of leash. The mounting 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: device for your phone does not require that you take 31 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: the case off your phone. It can be exactly how 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: it is, but it has a way of wrapping around 33 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: and holding on to your phone temporarily while you're doing 34 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: your work and keep your phone in your pocket. It's 35 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: totally usable. There's a d ring, a carabine or on 36 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: one side that you clip it onto your belt or 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: a belt loop or somewhere else on your clothing. Because 38 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, we're in the day and age in which 39 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: we always have our phones with us, and you know, hey, 40 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: when I've got to set a tool bags on, I've 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: got my phone there because a call might be coming 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: in or I may need to reference something, or sometimes 43 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: I just use the camera and or the flashlight for 44 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: on the phone for whatever it is that I'm doing. 45 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: There's a hundred reasons why we keep our phones with 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: us while we're working, but it puts them in relative danger. 47 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: And even if it's not so much the danger for 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: the phone, it is the fact that if we end 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: up dropping it and we're up on a ladder and 50 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: then we got to go down, you to stop what 51 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: we're doing. And da da da. This is a tether 52 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: and a leash for your phone. Another great stocking stuffer 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: because this one comes in at seven dollars and how 54 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: useful is it? And yes, it's made by the Rogue 55 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: Fishing Company because they're thinking about the fact that you're 56 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: out on a boat and you're fishing and active, and 57 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden your phone goes PLoP right over 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 1: the side. And with this you just yank it back in, 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: put it, dry it off, put it back in your pocket, 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: and get on with your day. It's a really, really, 61 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: really good idea. Another really good idea is the world's 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: best kind of setup for an extension cord. Now this 63 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: may not sound like the most exciting thing ever, but 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: let me tell you. Okay, the right extension cord can 65 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: make all the difference in the world. Now, what is 66 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: the right extension cord? Well, first of all, for a pro, 67 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: the right extension cord is a twelve gauge extension cord. Okay, 68 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: extension cords come in different gauges. That is the size 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: of the wires inside. So a little mini lamp cords, 70 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: very very lightweight cords. Right, you don't want to run 71 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: power tools with them. You'll literally run so much draw 72 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: so much current through them that you'll melt them down. Okay, 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: A medium gauge cord, yeah, you can get away with 74 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: a small power tool on that. Okay, a fourteen gauge cord. 75 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: But if you just want to go worry free, then 76 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: you get yourself a twelve gauge extension cord, all right, 77 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: that is going to be able to run on a 78 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: twenty amp circuit. It can pull all sorts of juicy 79 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: power through it. It can power up multiple tools at 80 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: once if you put a splitter on it. So it's 81 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: a twelve gauge cord. Secondly, it's long enough, but it's 82 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: not too long. And what is that typically, Well, my 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: own personal preference is if you're not working on big 84 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: job sites in places you don't need one hundred foot 85 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: extension cord, but a fifty footer is really, really super practical. 86 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: You think about the size of your lot, size of 87 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: your yard. A fifty foot extension cord gets you pretty 88 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: much where you need to be without being too cumbersome. 89 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Twenty five footers usually I find myself, you know, about 90 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: half the time they work and half the time I'm like, oh, 91 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: it's ten feet short. So I like a fifty foot 92 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: extension chord. Lastly, heavy duty outdoor, weather proof, waterproof, heat 93 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: and corrosion exist resistant. And here it is a light 94 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: up prong outlet and a locking plug. Okay, So what 95 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: it means is when you plug this in, if there 96 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: is indeed power coming into it, the plug side of 97 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: the cord is a clear acrylic and so there's a 98 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: light on the inside. So when you plug it in, 99 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: the light lights up and you know you got power, 100 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: because sometimes that's a question like why is there no power? 101 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: Is the chord bad? Is this outlet bad? Okay, you 102 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: plug it in, it lights up, you know you got power. 103 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: On the other end, where you're plugging your tools in, 104 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: there is a pole hasp a little lock. You can 105 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: just do it with one hand. But what have you 106 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: ever wondered why the plugs on most appliances, on the 107 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: actual prongs have those little holes in them at the end. Well, 108 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: a locking extension cord has a little ball bearing that 109 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: will actually engage into that little hole and hold it 110 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: in place so that you're not up on a ladder. 111 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: And you jiggle it and all of a sudden the 112 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: cord comes out. Okay, this locks your tool into the 113 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: end of the extension cord, and to take it out, 114 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: all you do is just pull back the collar a 115 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: little bit and boom, it pops right out. This is, 116 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: in my opinion, one of the world's finest extent any 117 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: extension cord that has all these features, and the one 118 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: that I'm referring to specifically is made by Dwault fifty 119 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: foot twelve gauge locking light up prong all of the 120 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: above fifty five dollars. There you go, and you are welcome. 121 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about blowing things up. No, not 122 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: to demolition, I mean an inflator, battery powered, cordless in flater. 123 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that on the other side of the break. 124 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: You are Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper. 125 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 126 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 127 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us on the show.

All right, let's get back 150 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: to it. Right before the break, I said, if you 151 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: feel like blowing something up, here's something for you. But 152 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I don't mean explosives, I mean an inflator. And again, 153 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: we live in the age of cordless battery powered tools, 154 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: and this is no exception. Now again, this is a 155 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: Milwaukee and I've already said, you know, I have a 156 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: lot of Milwaukee tools in our tool family. And so 157 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: again when it comes to battery operated tools, if you 158 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: kind of sneak into your loved ones zone and see 159 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: what you know. Are they a Milwaukee person, Are they 160 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: a Dwault person? Are they a Bosh or does it 161 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: not really matter? But if they are, if you see 162 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the same brand of tools, cordless tools, 163 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: then you're going to want to try and find a 164 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: gift for them in that tool family because they won't 165 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: have to buy new batteries. They'll use the existing batteries 166 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: that they have. On the new tool because the batteries 167 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: are interchangeable. So we're talking here about a Milwaukee. Now 168 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: I know Dwault also has a fantastic inflator, but this 169 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: is the M eighteen Milwaukee one hundred and fifty PSI 170 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: Max Tire inflator. Now, they have two sizes to it. 171 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: This is the one hundred and ninety nine dollars version. This 172 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: is they're larger of the two. This could take a 173 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: full on, you know, like a pickup truck with thirty 174 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: three inch tires and top off the whole truck in 175 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: just a few minutes. Okay, it's powerful, it's very very fast, 176 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: it's totally portable. It's like the size of a lunchbox. 177 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: There is a smaller version that you could also get 178 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: that's one hundred and twenty nine dollars. It'll also get 179 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: the job done, but you might have to use more 180 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: than one battery as it does it. And also it's 181 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: going to take a little longer, but it'll still get 182 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: the job done. And these also are perfect for bicycle 183 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: tires and sports equipment, balls and so on. And what's 184 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: so cool about these is that they're digital. Okay, so 185 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: what that means is you look on the tire or 186 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: the you know, the bicycle tire or the ball, and 187 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: you're like, what is the maximum psi? What is the 188 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: optimal psi? The tire will say it, oh, this is 189 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: a this is a you know, sixty five psi tire. 190 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: And all you do is you turn on the unit, 191 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: you press in sixty five psi and you press go, 192 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: and it's gauging it and monitoring it. It'll bring it 193 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: right up to sixty five and stop the end and 194 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: you move it on to the next tire. Inflators are great, okay, 195 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: moving on. Everybody needs a great ladder because we all 196 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: have things doing around the house that we can't reach now. 197 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: In past years I have recommended some really really great ladders, 198 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: eight foot ladders, six foot ladders, extension ladders. This year, 199 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I am moving down a notch to a ladder that 200 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: I think, in fact, will probably get the most use 201 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: of all. It's certainly around here these are the categories 202 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: of ladders that get the most use, because let's face it, 203 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: most of us are working in the eight to ten 204 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: foot ceiling zone and we've got to reach up that 205 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: far and not much further than that. So what do 206 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: we need we need to get up, you know, two 207 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: or three feet off the ground, which is not lugging 208 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: around even a big six foot step ladder, but a 209 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: really well made steel step stool project ladder, three hundred 210 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: pound rated. Okay, I'm trying to remember what the actual 211 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: brand on this one is that I recommend. Oh, it's 212 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: a Gorilla, of course it is. It's Gorilla. Gorilla is 213 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: a great ladder manufacturer, one of the two wonderful ladder 214 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: manufacturers out there are actually three Werner, Gorilla and Little Giant. 215 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: This is a Gorilla And what's great about it three 216 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: steps up, folds up real easy, out of the way, 217 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: but at the top a rail that you hold on 218 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: to for balance and stability, and a tool tray at 219 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: the top as well to set it whatever it is, 220 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: the light bulb that you're changing out, whatever the case 221 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: may be. Ninety nine dollars and it's so so it's 222 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: got the nine foot reach heighth capacity to it, three 223 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: hundred pound load. It's for everybody. So that is the 224 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: Gorilla three step pro grade steel step stool ladder. All right, 225 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: I've got just a minute before we run to break. 226 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna recommend to you a set of wrenches, the 227 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: only wrench set that I'm gonna recommend and crap, well, actually, yeah, 228 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: you don't set of wrenches here. It is Craftsman twelve 229 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: point metric and an SAE that's standard Imperial ratcheting box 230 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: set wrench tools. Okay, these are ratcheting tools. What does 231 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: that mean. Let's talk about it on the other side 232 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: of the break, because I've got these and what are 233 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: called pass through sockets, and if you don't know what 234 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: those are, then stay tuned. Ratcheting wrenches and pass through sockets. 235 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: Will talk about it right after this your Home with 236 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: Dean Shark the House Whisper. 237 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 238 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 239 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: And what we're doing today to help you do that 240 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: is giving you some gift advice for this holiday season, 241 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: for Christmas Day, for that special di wire or hands 242 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: on manual person, the crafter, all of those kind of 243 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: folks in your life. These are quality choices for them. 244 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 1: We do this every year. I try to do it 245 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: every year. There have been a couple of years where 246 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: we've had to skip over it for one reason or another. 247 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: But we're here and we're doing it this year. And 248 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: let's get back to our list now. Before the break, 249 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: I talk to you about some of the most basic 250 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: of tools, right, actual wrenches, Okay, not adjustable wrenches, but 251 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: actual box wrenches. Box wrenches are what you would imagine 252 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: your classic mechanics wrench right on one end, piece of steel. 253 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: On one end it's an open end, right and on 254 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: the other end it's a closed end. It's a ring. Okay. 255 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: Each wrench does the same size nut on each end. Okay, 256 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: both the ring and the box end. But sometimes the 257 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: open end gives you better access. Sometimes the ring gives 258 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: you better traction when possible. Okay, this adds one more 259 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: level to it. And believe me, these are wrenches that 260 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: I have absolutely loved. It is a twenty piece set, 261 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: which means that there are ten metric and ten imperial wrenches, 262 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: which covers you know, not everything, but most of the 263 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: most popular sizes of nuts and the range. But the 264 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: key is number one. It's craftsmen. It's made really really well, 265 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: lifetime kind of made. Number two. The closed end is ratcheting, 266 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: so it's not simply the closed end that you have 267 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: to turn it, lift it off the nut, put it 268 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: back on, turn it again. No, this is a ratcheting set, 269 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: so that closed end has a built in ratchet set 270 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: into it, which means once it's on, all you have 271 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: to do slide it back and forth. Yeah, and off 272 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: you go, off to the races. The other thing I 273 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: love about this set is that it actually comes with 274 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: a really rugged folding case a lot of wrenches. They 275 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: you know, I would say this if you're at the 276 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: at the hardware store and you're thinking about buying wrenches 277 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: and you're looking at the cases, the black cases, the 278 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: red cases. A lot of times they're just they look 279 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: nice on the outside, but they end up being kind 280 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: of like cheap polystyrenes kind of stuff, and they just 281 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: don't hold the wrenches in place. You know. You pop 282 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: them in there and you close it up and you 283 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: can hear like three of the wrenches just fell out 284 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: of their settings inside. Very very frustrating. But this set 285 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: comes with a beautiful, rugged, fully exposed case that holds 286 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: these wrenches in place beautifully. There's nothing wrong with this set. 287 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: Seventy dollars a twenty piece lifetime wrench set, and to 288 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: go with it, Okay, there is a twenty five piece 289 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: ratcheting set. Okay, you know sockets. Okay, ratchet sockets very 290 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: very useful. Here's the thing about sockets, though, that you'll 291 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: find out in a heartbeat if you've never really used 292 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: one before, and that is sometimes the bolt that's sticking 293 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: up beyond the nut is too long for the socket 294 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: to actually reach. And then you got to step up 295 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: to what we call a set of deep set sockets, 296 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: which are very very long sockets, very very heavy sockets, 297 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: and very very expensive because they're duplicating all your normal 298 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: sockets unless you do this because years ago, I think 299 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: Craftsman actually initially came out with this idea, but now 300 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: Crescent is doing it really really well. On our gift guide, 301 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: we've got a twenty five piece three hs inch drive 302 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: pass through spline mechanic socket set. Now, what it means 303 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: is the pass through. It means that that the sockets 304 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: have a hollow back end, which means that the bolt, 305 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: even no matter how long it is, passes through the 306 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: socket and the wrench itself, which means the bolt length 307 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: is now irrelevant and you don't have to have a 308 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: deep set socket. You got to take a look at it, 309 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: and take a look at it online. It is a 310 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: thirty two dollars set and it is worth every penny. 311 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: All right, those are wrenches. Now, let's move on to 312 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: something super simple, another stocking stuff for every household. Every 313 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: household needs a good utility knife. And I've talked about 314 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: utility knives through the years. There's a lot of good 315 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: ones out there. I like the Milwaukee switch Blade folding 316 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: utility knife. It's a great win. But this has got 317 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: to be my all time favorite utility knife, and that 318 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: is made by Dewault. It is so dang ergonomic. It's 319 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: heavy duty, it's well made, it's got a great grip 320 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: in the hand, and believe me, when it comes to 321 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: cutting things with a very very sharp blade, really the 322 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: comfort in your hand is key. Okay, it's got a 323 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: great locking blade, it's got a reservoir for holding extra blades. 324 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: It's you know, enough said. It is beautiful, it's lovely. 325 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: It's seventeen dollars. I love that, and it will last 326 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: a long long time. I mean mine are ancient at 327 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: this point and still going strong, and they're still making it, 328 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: which is a great sign that a tool has done 329 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: its job right, that it's been designed well, that it's 330 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: still around even today, and yeah, seventeen bucks d Walt 331 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 1: Tough Series retractable utility night. Okay, now here is something 332 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: for that workshop person, woodworker, somebody who's always working on 333 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: a wood bench. And it's not the easiest thing to describe, 334 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: or it sounds a little weird at first, but these 335 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: are called bench nuts. I don't know why I laugh 336 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: when I say that. They are hexagonal shaped, you know, 337 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: so they're honeycomb shaped. They are basically thick niaprem, basically pads. 338 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: And the thing with a bench nut is they come 339 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: in a set. I believe this is a set of 340 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: eight that you get for twenty five dollars. They simply 341 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: slide onto a dowl for storage, a little rack in 342 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: the corner. But the thing is, bench nuts have an 343 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: amazing ability to because they're open celled niaprem, they have 344 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: this amazing ability to grab onto the surface that they're 345 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: sitting on and the surface that you put on them. 346 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: So they do two things really. One, they lift the 347 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: thing that you're working on off the bench, off the workbench, 348 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: so if you've got to cut it or if you've 349 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: got to do something to it, it's not directly down. 350 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: And the workbench is no longer in the way. And 351 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: they do the second thing, which is they also grip it. 352 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean amazingly well. You could have a table full 353 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 1: of sawdust and slap a benchnut down, put something on 354 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: top of it. It's holding it in place. It's like 355 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: having a second set of hands on a workbench. I 356 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: know no woodworker or anybody who does regular work around 357 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: any kind of a workbench outside or in the garage 358 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: who would not appreciate these because they are just handy. 359 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: You can double stack them. You can triple stack them 360 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: if you need to. But there are eight of them, 361 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: which means you can put them all around and support 362 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: a very large piece. You could support a large piece 363 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: ofply would with this and have it not move on 364 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: you as you're trying to cut it, manipulate it, or 365 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: move it around. There you go. Carbon Method is the company. 366 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: Bench Nuts is the product twenty five dollars, really really good. 367 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: All right, So now we've gone from a stocking stuff 368 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: or two one of the most expensive items on the 369 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: gift guide.

All right before the break, Yeah, 391 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: I hear it. Every year. You're like, Dean, this is ridiculous. 392 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: It's not actually ridiculous, but I get it. I understand 393 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: that you feel that way. A two hundred and thirty 394 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: nine dollars hammer that sounds like something we should sell 395 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: to the US military two hundred dollar hammers. But this 396 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: one is two hundred and thirty nine dollars for a reason, Okay, 397 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: and just feel free to just be amused by it. 398 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: But there are some of you who are like, you 399 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 1: know what, that's the one that Dad deserves. It is 400 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: a technically a framing hammer made by Stiletto. These are, 401 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: in my opinion, currently the finest hammers on planet Earth. 402 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: This is literally the world's best hammer. Okay, when it 403 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: comes to this, and I'll tell you why, I'll tell 404 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: you why it is. Okay, this Stiletto framing hammer number 405 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: one for its size and it's like seventeen and three 406 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: quarter inches about eighteen inches long, okay, for its size 407 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: fifteen ounces. How could that be an all steel hammer? 408 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: Because it's made out of titanium and that makes it light. 409 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: Light is okay for a framing hammer. Now, because you 410 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: know what, we've discovered, the lighter hammer, the faster it swings. 411 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: The faster it swings, you can equal the amount of 412 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: force of a larger hammer even exceed the amount of 413 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: force of a larger heavier hammer, because it is the 414 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: speed the velocity of the hammer that ends up making 415 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: up all the difference. So lightweight not gonna hurt your elbow, 416 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: not going to wear out your shoulder, especially for somebody 417 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: who is a professional who hasn't already built those muscles up. 418 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Number two. This hammer pulls nails from the side from 419 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: the back. It's a straight claw hammer, which is fantastic. 420 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: That's the right one to do. It has a magnetic 421 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: nail set up on top so it'll hold the nail 422 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: for you to set it, which also makes you about 423 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: three feet taller than you actually are without getting up 424 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: on a ladder to set and nail in and nail 425 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: the face. That's where the nail gets hit. The face. 426 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: The milled face and a mild face means that waffly 427 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: kind of rough face on it for framing purposes is replaceable. 428 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: The one thing that any good hammer does. After you've 429 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: used it for a whiles, that face will smash down 430 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: and not be a milled face anymore. These are interchangeable. 431 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: It can also be interchanged with a smooth face, making 432 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: it a finish hammer. It can also be capped off 433 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: with a mallet a rubberized mallet tip, making it a 434 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: rubber mallet. This is a really really well designed hammer, lightweight, 435 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: shock proof, rubberized grip. The grip is replaceable. The grip 436 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: is also interchangeable on multicolor, so you can give this 437 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: hammer away to that loved one and make it the 438 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: favorite color of theirs. Whatever the case may be. Anyway, 439 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: you got to go check it out. It is.
