Kirkland Laing's power tool reviews thread

[TitoFan]

LOL!

Nice thread, Kirk.
Two thoughts right off the bat....

First, I got flashbacks of the now-banned Finito.

He used to (try to) do these threads, but was dead serious in a comical, pitiful way.
I think he was going overboard trying to overcompensate for his metro-sexuality by posting "manly" stuff.
He would post about cigars, power tools, muscle cars, Mafia groups..... and then give himself away by posting about popping collars and other metro stuff like that.



My second thought is I guess you're abandoning the Forum Gay of the Year race, and leaving it up to Miles all by himself.

I bet you'd love to see me in a hard hat and a tool belt and nothing else.

[Master]

You tool.

I'm surprised a discussion on proper tool length did not ensue from the tool belt section.

Now that's just schoolboy humour. This is a serious discussion about power tools and appropriate clothing.

Yep, I thought it was time for me to show my more manly side. I'm not only going to be reviewing power tools, I'm also going to be talking about how important it is to wear the correct clothing when you're using your power tools. The most important item is of course a hard hat.


A hard hat

This protects your head while you're working. The most important thing to look for in a hard hat is how hard it is. If it isn't hard, it's no good to me at all.


You also need a tool belt.


A tool belt

This is for keeping your manly hand tools in. If you're doing a lot of screwing you can also get a belt with just a big pouch at the front for you to put your screws in, but they can look like the things women wear to keep clothes pegs in when they're hanging out the washing so you have to make sure yours is made out of something manly like leather and it's even better if it has a logo from a tool company on, then there's no chance of it looking womanly.

Once you've got your hard hat and your tool belt on you should look nice and manly like this :




Slightly unorthodox eye protection there but excellent safety boots.

Here's a better photograph of the tool belt:




Nice and manly.
