West Coast Man
Welcome to West Coast Man (Formerly Kearney Creek Farm)
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.

If you caught my last video, I picked up a Wiha precision screwdriver to add to the custom Kaiweets Packout. I think it turned out pretty cool. Still have to add the spare battery case.

In my continuing quest to lighten my work EDC, I finally got ahold of the Klein K12075 hybrid strippers to compare to the Klein J215-9CRTP hybrids. I was mostly curious about how wide the jaws are on each of them. Looks like the K12075 are about 3/8" wide and the J215-9CRTP are about 5/8" wide.
Time to put the K12075 into rotation to see if they can perform whatever task I'm up against at work.

A pencil on conduit is quiet, precise, and humble.
A Sharpie is loud, messy, and wrong.

Just realized the base of the Wurkkos HD02 has 1/4-20 threads for a camera tripod... or bolts.🤔

Day 5 of moving the farm. We're hoping to be done by tomorrow, then it's time to organize! Hope to start getting fresh videos out soon.
Thanks for being part of the crew at WCM!
