Using Tools CAN Be Your Day Job

Whether you’re a weekend warrior completing do-it-yourself ventures or a full-time professional, you know what it feels like to power through a project and get the job done.

For those of you past, present or future professionals in trades using power tools, we want to hear from you today. What resources did you use to figure out your path? Did you have a mentor or did you stumble upon it?

We found two online resources that may help young folks (or people looking to switch sectors) discover the world of construction and trades. Have you used these? What else would you recommend to people interested in these fields?

CLC-1132-7

Meet An Ace Tool Star: CLC 1132

If you aren’t familiar with the Custom Leather Craft CLC 1132, you should be!

This is a Tool Backpack Bag with 75 pockets and one of our top selling items. It’s lightweight and flexible (a soft pack) but incredibly tough. DuPont Cordura Plus fabric ensures durability and adjustable padded shoulder straps or handles make comfort standard. A multi-compartment plastic tray (7″ x 5″) and enough interior panels to hold a multitude of tools (14 pc wrench sets, electric drills, extension cords, pliers, screwdrivers, etc) make this the perfect go-to bag for any project. If you’re keeping track at home, the specific dimensions are 13″W x 17 1/2″H x 9″H.

Best of all, we’ve got the lowest price on this one. Seen elsewhere for $70.49 up to $129.10, ours is nicely priced at $69.99 and can be shipped anywhere! We’ve heard of people using this for tools, art supplies, even stowing laptops and gadgets for higher-tech projects. Keep it in mind if you’re looking for a good gift this holiday season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you tried this bag already? Care to write a review? We think it’s great, but we would love to hear your opinion.

The Anarchist’s Tool Chest

Have you read The Anarchist’s Tool Chest by Chris Schwarz? So many reviews have been written already, we won’t try to recreate the wheel. Here are some good reviews (and you just might discover a new website or blog you like) if you’re interested in crafting with hand tools.

This review from Ben at www.blowery.org includes a good discussion in the comments about how minimalism is not necessarily cheaper.

Kari at The Village Carpenter talks about how she thoroughly got something out of every single page, a rarity in book reviews!

If you frequently look for book reviews, consider Good Reads, where this particular item has quite high reviews!

Tools for Working Wood provides a short review/description and an actual opportunity to buy the book!

If this book leaves you realizing your hand tool collection is lacking, click here to stock up.
