I love having tools and gadgets that easily make our life easier.
One of the best tools that I have ever purchased is a bag for our ironworker wire.
I use ironworker wire all day to link pieces of rebar together. I have to cut various lengths off the rebar wire spool. I can’t carry this heavy item around and cut pieces at the same time while also trying to keep our balance. I bought a special bag that holds a variety of unusual sizes of tie wire coils. I can hold all the way up to a 24 gauge size pry wire in the spool, then part of the tie wire comes out of the front and I can snip it unquestionably easily. This particular tool has proven to be one of the best items that I have ever purchased for the task. I am hoping to buy a new pair of boots soon. My seasoned boots have a tear on the bottom and they are no longer waterproof. The two of us do not work on a lot of days when there are heavy storms however the two of us do work in the light rain and that means that water is consistently entering our shoes, but when our feet are wet, I get cold. Wet feet also cause other concerns like athlete’s foot or trench rot. None of these concerns are easy to get rid of and it is better just to keep your feet dry. I had to go to the nurse for a bad case of athlete’s foot in college and I had trouble walking and running for two weeks until it healed consistently.
