Industry Standard Tools

I scrolled through all 471 tools pending review with the same delight I experienced reading the original Whole Earth Catalog cover to cover — all 448 pages of very small print, every word — when it came out back in 1968.

Of the 471 under review I own 10: 

• Stanley FatMax Tape Measure

• Wiss Snips

• 3M Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape

• Pro Bar Halligan Tool

• Gardena Hose Connectors

• Haws Watering Can

• Welch Allyn Otoscope/Ophthalmoscope

• 3M Tegaderm Transparent Dressing

• Dansko Professional Clog

• RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrench

Soon it will be 11: I immediately ordered Pro Gaff Gaffer Tape when it showed up in this list so as to up my gaffer tape game.

So far 3 tools have passed review and become recognized standards.

I love stuff like this!
