And then there’s Type 7. Those maniacs don’t just make videos… they build atmosphere. Mood. The production quality is so damn good it feels irresponsible to scroll past it like some dopamine drunk civilian.

Maybe I’m projecting. Maybe it’s nostalgia mixed with a little self-inflicted trauma. But give it a watch. There’s something lurking in there. It grabbed me by the collar and wouldn’t let go. It might do the same to you.

1. TheFixer. Winner of a Mileseey S50!
2. Lanyard. Winner of a Mileseey S50!
3. Slowbuilder. Winner of a Mileseey XTAPE1!

Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who jumped in. And before you wander off, a big thanks to Mileseey Tools for putting this whole shindig together. They also wanted to pass along a couple bits of news and an opportunity…

First, MILESEEY TOOLS is recruiting three experienced tradespeople for a paid product interview ($200) to help shape its next-generation camera-equipped outdoor laser distance meters.

They’re looking for:

• 1 Contractor
• 1 Carpenter (framing/large-scale projects)
• 1 Plumber / Electrician / HVAC Technician

Anyone interested can send a short bio and any relevant links to this email.

And lastly… If you missed out as winner, it’s not too late to avoid being a loser. Mileseey’s Black Friday deals start now. You can get your own S50 for $94.99 here or an XTAPE1 for $299 here.

So, here’s the deal:

Post a reply in this thread. You can reply all you want, but only your first reply actually counts. On November 20th — just a few days out — we’ll randomly pick three winners. Two folks will get an S50 just like the one I reviewed, and one lucky bastard will get an XTAPE1. Drop-shipped. No hoops. No gimmicks. Just free tools for doing basically nothing.

Have at it, fellas… and good luck.

Tomorrow, QuickJack is running a one-day-only sale, slashing 25% off everything in the store. If you’ve been thinking about adding a lift or grabbing some accessories for your shop, this is the time to pounce. I don’t think they’ve ever thrown out a discount this deep before.

Use the discount code above. More details here. But remember—this deal starts on February 25, 2025. and vanishes afterwards. No second chances.

Congrats, my man. Enjoy the spoils. And a big shout-out to NewAge Products for making this whole thing happen—damn cool of them. Also, thanks to all of you for jumping in and playing along.

That was actually kind of fun…

Now, here’s the kicker: all you have to do to throw your hat in the ring is reply to this thread. That’s it. On January 2, 2025, we’ll let fate take the wheel, pull a random number, and whoever’s reply lines up gets the goods. It’s that simple—no hoops, no fine print.

So good luck, gentlemen and gentleladies. And a big shout-out to the folks at NewAge Products for stepping up and making this happen. Super cool of them.

But then, I unboxed the NewAge Products Pro Series cabinets, and the trajectory of my plans took a sharp turn into uncharted territory. The build quality hit me like a shot of bourbon on an empty stomach – robust, refined, and undeniably fantastic. The thought of discarding these marvels felt like blasphemy, a crime against craftsmanship. So, I did the only sensible thing: I integrated them into my lab wall and documented the process. You can witness this transformation here:

For those of you allergic to my visual antics, here’s the distilled essence of my thoughts:

The build quality is bananas. Garage cabinets from your average big-box store? Sure, they do the job. I’ve got a set of Husky cabinets stashing paint and they’re perfectly adequate. But the NewAge Products Pro Series? They’re in a different league. Heavy gauge steel, high-end hardware, immaculate powder-coating – these aren’t just cabinets, they’re a finely finished fortress for your shit. Where your typical Home Depot fare might serve you for a decade, these are a lifelong investment, something your grandkids might fight over.

The size is another consideration. Most budget cabinets are a measly 12” to 18” deep. These bad boys are a full 24” in depth. That extra space is a revelation when it comes to storing camera equipment, larger tools, or whatever else your chaotic mind deems important.

And NewAge Products has an entire ecosystem of add-ons for these things. Mine came with a nifty clothes rod, but that’s just scratching the surface. Gun racks, matching slat wall kits, LED lights (I definitely need some of these), tool tray inserts – the options are many.

In the end, what you get is a cabinet system with a build quality that rivals the high-end giants like Lista, but at a fraction of the cost. It’s modular, expandable, and designed to last forever. I rarely think of high-end shop storage as a good value proposition, but in this instance? Hell yeah.

As per usual, I remain unshackled and free of corporate sponsorship from NewAge Products. They shipped these cabinets on their own dime, no strings attached, no greasy palms involved. Let it be known, if these things were garbage, I’d shout it from the rooftops without a second thought to the fallout or NewAge’s delicate sensibilities. But they’re not… You can learn more here.

It is massively impressive…

And while I know this is pretty far from the wheelhouse of this joint, I thought some of you might enjoy the technical side of all this as much as I did.
