Help Us Settle Our Bet With The Hardware Aisle

By Chuck Cage

Monday morning we challenged our friends at This Old House magazines “The Hardware Aisle” blog to a challenge: we’d each post all the “patriotic gear” we could find over the next few days, then let you vote on your favorite item today, July 4th.

The winner receives… well, not much: a piece of autographed memorabilia and the pride of winning. But no matter who wins, we had a great time posting some tools that we wouldn’t normally focus on, and the whole project really got us in the holiday mood.

So if you can, take a minute and vote for your favorite (click on the name to see the full post):
