West Coast Man
Welcome to West Coast Man!
I’m a licensed commercial/industrial electrician with over 30 years experience in the trade, DIYer, and farmer living in rural Pacific Northwest. Here you’ll find hands-on tool reviews (especially Harbor Freight, Klein, Knipex), maintenance tips, and behind-the-scenes farm work, all from a blue collar perspective.
If you're into tradesman skills, everyday carry (EDC), preparedness, livestock care, shop organization, or just want honest takes from someone who actually uses the gear, you're in the right place.
I post shorts, vlogs, and full-length videos weekly. Hit subscribe and come think, build, and grow with me.

Everything sticks… except my desire to walk back to the shop. 😄

Just added gloves for me and my wife in the truck.
Feels like one of those things you don’t think about until you really need them.
Do you keep gloves in your vehicle?

It's a sad day ladies and gentlemen. I lost my favorite EDC flashlight, but fortunately I keep one in reserve.

Stormy Saturday, time for some indoor tasks. Gave some rusty tools the spa treatment. Overnight soak in Evaporust, dried and sprayed some Amsoil CLP on them. Came back later and wiped them down, then a final rub-down with some Ballistol. Do you have a tool maintenance regimen?

Workpro sent me these pliers to test. I don’t review anything until I’ve used it on the job.
They’re replacing my Knipex for the next week. Think they’ll hold up?

Picked up a Workpro razor knife… honestly looks pretty good next to the Spyderco.
