- I've noticed this since the show first aired. As far as I'm concerned,
- I have no problem with the "Power Tool Advertising" aspect of the show
- because power tools are what I'm into. But it really shows me (my wife
- pointed this out) how much of a "power tool junky" I really am since I
- can usually identify the tool he is using (down to the model #) although
- the brand names have been covered up! Personally, I like the idea that he
- often has several different brands and models of the same tool. It has
- often helped me to select tools for my own needs since I haven't the $$
- nor the sponsors to have them all. I only wish that I had the bucks to
- own a pickup truck like Steve Thomas drives around on TOH!! What a ride!
