Dewalt LED Tape Measure – Model DWHT35625S
While some may find an LED light on a tape measure excessive, we think it’s a fantastic addition! As remodeling contractors, we occasionally find ourselves in dimly lit spaces. The Tough Series 25′ Lighted LED Tape Measure from DEWALT does away with the need for extra lighting. This tape measure includes a built-in LED light and a sturdy housing that, according to DEWALT, can survive a drop of up to 100 feet. The steel blade’s astounding maximum reach is 17 feet. In the darkest work conditions, this DEWALT Tape Measure performs professionally.

Gerber Answer F.A.S.T Tanto Knife
A pocketknife is a type of knife where the handle folds over one or more blades and usually has a clip on it to secure inside your pocket. In addition to this term, they can also be referred to as folding knives, jackknives, or what we like to say Every Day Carry or EDC. Gerber has a vast variety of EDC knives. Here is one we think is a great EDC carry
This knife is a true innovation, designed to give lightning-fast access to a blade when needed most. Together with a clever safety-slide lock, dual thumb studs provide an intuitive ease of use, and the robust Tanto blade quickly solves issues.

Streamlight ProTac 2.0
We love LUMENS! The more lumens, the brighter the flashlight. Streamlight is an industry icon when it comes to flashlights. Geared towards true Public Safety heroes, Streamlight also has great everyday carry flashlights. This Streamlight ProTac 2.0 has 2,000 lumens and uses one USB rechargeable battery pack. It can be used one-handed and has three settings, momentary, variable intensity, and strobe mode.
On a full battery charge, you have 2.5 hours of continuous runtime on high and 25 hours of runtime on low. Just over 6″ in overall length and weighs 8.25oz, this light is perfect for pocket carry, or even deserves a home in your tool bags!

Brunt Martin Pants
What is the right equation when it comes to a pair of work pants? Some pants offer great flexibility, some offer durability. Well, Brunt offers durability, flexibility, and practicality. These comfortable pants are designed for long days of labor thanks to their clever pocketing system, inherent water resistance, abrasion-resistant fabric, and a concealed double layer from the thigh to the shin.
The Martin pants have a cargo-style design but don’t have bulky or ugly cargo pockets. Instead of being loose on the outside, these pockets are tucked inside the pants. Two thigh pockets: one self-closing (right leg), one zippered (left leg), and reinforced front pockets for a knife or tape measure. I do, however, wish the cargo pocket section had separators. Tools, pencils, and knives would be able to stand upright rather than fall to the side. When bending over, if something is poking into your leg, it can be painful.

15oz TIBONE Stiletto Hammer – Model TIB15MC
On job sites around the world, there has been a dispute for a few years now regarding steel versus titanium hammers. The two main concerns are 1) Can titanium hammers actually prevent injuries, or are they just more expensive than steel hammers? and 2) are titanium hammers truly worth the extra money?
The major attraction to using a titanium hammer is less vibration and weight. Titanium has the same strength as steel with 45% less weight and exhibits much less vibration than steel. Some hammer manufacturers claim up to 10 times less vibration. The reduction in weight equates to less fatigue over the course of a day, week, or year.

Crescent Screwdriver Set – Model CDT8PCSET
Who doesn’t like a full screwdriver set, especially one that looks really sharp? Having all the screwdrivers in a set will allow you more time on a task rather than spending precious time looking for the right one!
Crescent utilizes a co-molded handle to improve user comfort. The handles are different colors to differentiate the type of driver. The blades have a black phosphate coating that resists corrosion and the sizes are laser etched on the blades. The diamond tip is designed to increase the grip on fasteners allowing the user to get the job done more quickly.
