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.

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

Hot take: If you need insulated screwdrivers for everyday electrical work, you’re doing it wrong.
Electrical work shouldn’t be live.
Turn it off. Lock it out. Verify it’s dead.
Insulated tools don’t fix bad habits, they normalize working energized.
If your safety depends on the tool, the process is already broken.
Yes, there are edge cases. No, changing a receptacle isn’t one of them.

I gave the Klein 32500HD a 90 day trial and it came up short. I've admitted before that I use and abuse my multi-bit screwdrivers. That being said, the Lennox stands up to that abuse better than the Klein.
Come to think about it, every Klein handtool I purchased last year ended up in a drawer in my shop and not at work. The pump pliers, the hybrid linemans, the strippers, and now the 32500HD KNECT all fell short of what I'd been carrying for years.
YMMV

Boss came into the shop and caught me sweeping. I apologize to my fellow electricians for being a poor example of our trade. Please forgive me.😄

90's nostalgia. They're so old they were made in the USA.😄

Electrician by trade… professional filing cabinet assembler by request.
Anyone else ever get asked to do something way outside your trade on a job?
