Cheap-Ass Tools: Husky’s Nail Apron
By Sean O'Hara
If you love the old-school vibe you get from wearing a nail apron but don’t want to cough up $12 or more for one, Husky’s got your back with a 5-pocket nylon apron for a whopping $4. Besides, I actually used one of these while making some spot repairs on a roof the other day, and was favorably impressed with the strength of the material and the comfort. Fasteners didn’t poke through the material as mush as one might expect with thin nylon. In short: it rocked.
And it gives off that carbon-fiber feeling at the cheap-o nylon price. Seriously, despite the fact that it’s cheap, it’s a tough little apron. It features two big fastener pockets in the middle and three small tool pockets for razor knives, pencils, and well, whatever crap you want to carry ’round.

Not to sound to much like an old man. Heck, I’m only 32. But I remember when you got these for free from the lumber yard since they had the yard’s name on them. Granted, they were thin cotton and wore out in a month or two. But if you’re wearing ‘em out chances are you’ll be back at the lumber yard in that time.
