    I know I'll get laughed at for this. But most places want long sleeves. So I wear a tshirt. Then Red Kapp shop coat over top. Your still gonna be hot. But stay much cleaner.

    My ratchets? I'll beat a guy with snaps every time. My snap binders hang in the shop.

    If you’ve ever seen a Maverick truck, you’ve seen guys use 8’ beveled lumber. That was a requirement under coils 6 years ago when I worked there.

    The reason I asked the question is because I used to work for Melton and they used snap binders. Everyone told me ratchet binders were better, so I was wondering why they used the snaps.
