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

Best wash bucket / cleaning unit

I have been using normal 5 gallon pails for washing cars.....and for washing parts its usually a cheap small clear tote which usually fail or crack about every year and need to be replaced. Mostly from the degreaser etc...it just eats them away and makes them brittle. I stumbled on this. It just said tote and was up high. I grabbed it down and it has a REALLY beefy handle.......and grit grate for parts washing which is great. It will hold enough liquid to wash a car or two and its heavy black plastic so out in the sun it will keep your cleaners warm. Its also pretty big and will fit any parts id be cleaning. Happy to have found this and i will probably pick up another. I think they stack. For less than $10 you cant go wrong. Looks to be an unreal deal. I wont be able to really put it to the test until spring but it looks like a winner.    Home Depot Link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-16-in-Black-Plastic-Multi-Use-Tote-with-Grit-Screen-THD2020-003/315003283

Generic Bike Light Mount

 Bike light mount. These go by several different names and run about $2 - $5 depending where you get them.  I got some of these several years back from China ....probably Aliexpress or whatever.  These work great for mounting small LED Flashlights which i have been running for years as well. I upgraded to a rechargeable ANKER Bolder light. its bigger and heavier than my others but its really nice and a lot brighter. I found that this mount works well. I had to make a small shim out of a milk carton and found that you must run the mount backwards and under the bars to get the center gravity of the light so that it wont tilt down on you as you hit bumps. IT works really well and that setup is still cheaper than any bike specific light. Also...the flahlight can still be used as a flashlight.
