1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Home

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: on CAFI, the house whisper Dean Sharp.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: Good morning, Dean, Good morning Amy.

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: So we were talking about what we needed to address

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: this week because it's it's Christmas week. There's probably not

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of major projects being worked on around the

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: house because people are getting ready for Christmas. Exactly, exactly,

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: So let's talk about things that you can get for

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: your friends, family loved ones that might help them with

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: their DIY projects after Christmas is over.

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, people are some people are still thinking what

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: do I get that person, that handy person in our

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: life who you know has already seems like they've got

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 3: a lot of tools and unique things. And so, you know,

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 3: a couple three weeks ago, as we always do, right

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: after Thanksgiving, we put together our twenty twenty five Holiday

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: Gift Guide and I curate it myself. I've got twenty

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: five items on it this year. You can find it

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: on the KFI website under our page Home with Dean.

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: It's actually posted there in PDF forms, so you get

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: prices and links and photographs as well. But there's just

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: a lot of cool stuff on it, because there are

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: a lot of cool tools out there, everything from little

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: stocking stuffer is up to you know, ritzy one of

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: a kind thing. So what would you like today, Amy, Well, stock, Let's.

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Talk about a stocking stuffer first, and then we'll go

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: and go a little onto the ritzy.

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 3: Okay, So assuming that a stocking stuffer is like, let's say,

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: a you know, under twenty dollars gift, then I think

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: that there is probably no better informed gift that you

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: could give somebody other than a really really well designed

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: utility knife. Okay, some people call them exacto blades. That's

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: not what it is. It's a utility knife. It's got

34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: a big razor blade in it. But utility knives come

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: there in every shape and size, and most of them

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: are really poorly designed. What you really want is something

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 3: that holds spare blades, that's got a great grip, that's

38
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: really ergonomic and is tough. And the Dwault Tough Series

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: retractable utility knife is one that I've had in my

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: workbench for I don't know how long. I've got multiple

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: of them around. It is my go to knife and

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: it comes in around seventeen bucks.

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Okay, and I love this too, because you mentioned the

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: great grip because you guys have box cutters and they're

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: dark gray and they're made out of metal, so they're sturdy.

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: But I'm always worried about slipping.

47
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, my hand's gonna slip and I'm gonna cut

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: it open with that big blade exactly.

49
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: Most box cutters are just straight and slick and smooth,

50
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: and so you put a lot of pressure down or

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 3: if your hand gets sweaty or any wet or anything

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: like that, then yeah, everybody's worried about slipping, and it

53
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: is a concern. I've cut myself on more than one

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: occasion on that kind of a utility NFE. This utility

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: knife has an ergonomic grip. It's actually bent in the

56
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 3: center so your hand cannot slip forward on it, and

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: it's got a rubberized grip on the bottom, rubberized grip

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: on the top.

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: It is just a joy to work with.

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is out of the stocking stuffer category

61
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: because it's two hundred and thirty nine dollars for a hammer.

62
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Why would I spend two hundred and thirty nine dollars

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: on a hammer?

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, if you've got somebody who truly

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: is the person who has everything, and you really want

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: to purchase for them something so unique yep, so out

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: of the box, but not something that just sits around truly,

68
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: honestly arguably the world's greatest hammer. Then you got to

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: go onto the Stiletto website Stiletto Tools, and you're looking

70
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: for the fifteen ounce tye bone. It's not t bone,

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: tie bone, milled face handle, a hammer with a curved handle.

72
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: It is a titanium hammer. Fifteen ounce. Yeah, two hundred

73
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: and thirty nine dollars far as I know, the most

74
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: expensive hammer on earth out of the box, not because

75
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: the army bought it, but because it's actually that much.

76
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: But it's a brilliant hammer. Shock resistant titanium makes it

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: ultra light weight and for the longest of times, I

78
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: mean I remember when I started as a carpenter, you know,

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: thirty plus years ago, the very first thing they handed

80
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: me was a thirty two ounce I mean it was

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 3: like a mini sledge hammer hanging off our hip. Because

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: it for then it was all about, well, the heavier

83
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 3: the hammer, the easier it is to pound nails. But

84
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: we have learned so much about how hammers work just

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: in the last thirty years now we understand that it's

86
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: the speed that the hammerhead flies that actually creates most

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: of the force, and so you can lighten up on

88
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: the hammer head itself. And this hammer not only has

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: every great feature. It's got magnetic nails set up on top.

90
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: It's got straight claws, which is the best for pulling nails.

91
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: It's got a titanium handle, like I said, that is

92
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: rubberized also so won't slip, and it's shock proof. And

93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: I love the face of this hammer. The face comes

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: in milled. Now what that means is that kind of

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: waffle pattern for rough nailing. But it's interchangeable with a

96
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: smooth head and a rubber mallet head. So it's really

97
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: three different hammers in one. It's a framing hammer, it's

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: a finished hammer, it's a rubber mallet and it is

99
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: truly the last hammer anybody would ever buy for their life.

100
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: And you know this is awesome too, because it might

101
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: be something that somebody would like. Oh, I'm not going

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: to do that for myself, but what a cool.

103
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: Present exactly I would not buy.

104
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: I have not bought this hammer for myself, but I

105
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: have bought it for a couple of people.

106
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: In the past.

107
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: Plus these hammers they come in like four or five

108
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: different colors with multiple colored grips. You can really customize them.

109
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: They're really a work of art. But they're not a

110
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 3: work of art that just sits on a shelf. You know,

111
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: somebody will get to use one on day one.

112
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: I just got a text from my sister in law

114
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: because we were trying to figure out what my mom

115
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: needs because she has everything, and she says, your mom

116
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: has everything, but I don't think she'd want that hammer. Well,

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: she doesn't do a lot of hammering anymore.

118
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: And I mean, for God's sakes, okay, and.

119
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: You can still be fashionable while you're doing work around

120
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: the house. And everybody loves a good car heart.

121
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this is my favorite jacket. I own

122
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: this jacket.

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 3: So this is my full, full endorsement for the car

124
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: Heart Men's Shirp aligned utility jacket. I mean, I just

125
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: took this to Montana. We were walking around the Bozeman

126
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: Stroll in this jacket. It was twenty eight degrees outside.

127
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: I had just a T shirt on underneath, and I

128
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 3: was cozy, comfortable. But this, have no doubt, this is

129
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: not This is not some Rodeo drive jacket. This is

130
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: a full on Hof exterior work jacket. Some people would

131
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: call it a ranch jacket, has an integrated hood in it,

132
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: and it is comfortable. When I say work jacket, what

133
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: I mean is that there are plats behind both shoulders.

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: So as warm and comfy as this jacket is, the

135
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: arm movement is amazing. You can just reach forward seamlessly

136
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: because there's extra material back there. And despite all of that,

137
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: it's got a great look. It hangs really great. No

138
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: one would be embarrassed about wearing this thing out on

139
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: the town. It's a fantastic jacket, as are most of

140
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: the clothes from Carhart.

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Yep, I do love a man in a car heart
