Duluth Trading Company - Firehose Flex Pants

Duluth Firehose Flex is the most comfortable pants i own. They make several styles from a cargo style to a more modest style that could be worn to the office. They are a bit pricey compared to others but frequently go on sale and they last a very very long time. 

Cons:
In my experience the darker colors fade even in cold water washing but they are still very durable . I have several pairs of several styles and wear them almost daily. 

The ads for Duluth Trading can get annoying and a bit over the top but they do have  very good product. 

The warranty used to be lifetime on everything no matter what but this has recently changes to 1 year and at the retailer discretion meaning if you ran the pants through the skill saw a couple times and shredded them on purpose they probably wont replace them. Still, they are reasonable.

They dont have my size and they dont carry all sizes. This forces me to have them altered which drives the price up. Probably not a problem for most normal people.

Verdict: Highly Recommended

Stanley Insulated Coffee Mug

This thing is fantastic. I believe it comes in 3 different sizes. I am a bit of a thermos  connoisseur    meaning i have a lot of them. Everything from vintage ones to food jars to mugs like this. In my opinion this is WAY better than Kleen Kanteen or Hydroflask (Yes i have both). Those appear to be more of a fad. IF you want something that works well, get this Stanley. i have the 16oz version. It keep stuff hot for a very long time; Same with cold.  I think they run ~$20 and you can get them at Amazon or locally at Walmart. I wont go into that because nobody cares. Pour your liquid into it and then drink it. If you are pouring your liquid into it to let it sit for a week and then complain when it isnt still the same temperature, you are kind of an idiot. The pictured lid style is now harder to find but i believe it looks and works better than the latest model. Yes i have both. The current model is also very very good and would be my second choice and it is ...

Anker Rechargeable Bolder LC90 LED Flashlight

 This Anker LC90 is really good for the money. Great Flashlight...but more importantly you can run it as a bike light using the mount recommended in another post just below. I had to shim it with a small piece of plastic from a milk carton but it worked out great. Its a bit larger and heavier than your normal small pocket LED flashlight but its SUPER bright and works really well on the bike. You will surely be seen with this thing.  Verdict: Recommended.  Link:  https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Tactical-Flashlight-Rechargeable-Water-Resistant/dp/B01KH2JP5G

Ryobi 1/2 inch impact...non brushless

 I finally got around to picking up a cordless impact. This is not the brushless version but im not sure why you would need that over this.  I have used this regularly with the big batteries and it does everything and then some.  Removed 174 ft lb 35mm axle nut on a truck. Removes lug nuts no problem.  Pulled all my shocks out front and rear to put in new ones....no problem Remove steering rack bolt at 120 - 140ft lbs no problem ...and im in the rust belt. Massive corrosion on everything. Its a monster for the price. It runs $140 but you can get it much cheaper if you watch for sales or bundles. I think i gave $99.  Verdict: Recommended, Link:  https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-3-Speed-1-2-in-Impact-Wrench-Tool-Only-P261/205885687
