We're often asked for recommendations on a wide variety of KC related things so we thought we'd put a list together of other KC companies we like and recommend on a regular basis. I'm sure it will grow but this is a start.
Coolest store I've found in decades.

Crazy comfortable and warm fleece suspender pants. Get some!
Just bought couple more pairs. Warm as heck and lighter than my coveralls. Get some before they are gone.

Quality pliers at great price!!!
Bought these for my boys since they are always fiddling with their trucks or someone else's. The pliers are very nice quality and look great with the leather pouch.

Excellent value splitter.
I've split about 1/2 a cord of green wood so far, so just getting acquainted with it. So far, I like it a lot. Council makes quality stuff, but this isn't a highly finished boutique axe. The grind is a coarse grit but pretty even. The handle needed some sanding for my tastes. The things that matter most were done well. The steel is hard but still files so the edge should roll instead of chipping. The handle hang is great and the grain has no visible run out. With a little more work, this will be a great tool!
I don't own a hydraulic splitter, so my main splitter for years has been a council sledge eye 8lb maul. I feel like this is a good companion for that tool. Its lighter and less tiring but still effective enough in hardwood. Because the head is balanced you can easily flick split with this if that's your thing. The American flag stamp is a nice touch.
The biggest critique I've read from the axeperts online is that they think this axe is prone to sticking. For sure it does stick more than a maul, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It might stick less if the cheeks were smoothed. I'm happy with this so far.

Best Tweezers
Most tweezers lose their shape and get weaker as they get older. The Yankee tweezers don't have that problem. They are solid and very well made. I had bought my wife these tweezers for pulling crystals out of rocks. They worked so well that I had to get a set for myself for working on cars. The tweezers you didn't know you needed until you get them, and then you don't know how you survived without them.
