The Clevis Barnwell's Spring Refresh: What We're Running Right Now
March rolls in, the mud thaws, and suddenly you're standing in the shed realizing half your stuff is either rusted, forgotten, or just... tired. So we do what we do: check what's working, refresh what needs it, and load up on gear that actually holds together when you're using it.
Here's what we're reaching for this spring—the stuff we trust because we've used it hard.
The Charging Station Situation
If you've got a desk, a workbench, or just a corner where your devices pile up like evidence of disorganization, you need to handle it. The Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1, Foldable) isn't fancy—it's just right. Magnets stay put, three devices at once, and when you need to pack it up, it folds. That's it. That's the review.
If you need real juice for actual work—say, you're running tools all day and your battery bank needs to keep up—grab the Anker 337 Power Bank. 26K capacity. You're not swapping batteries in the field. You're charging three times and moving on.
Extension Cords: The Unglamorous Essential
Nobody gets excited about extension cords. Until you need one and don't have it. The 2-Pack 12ft Braided Flat Extension Cords live in our truck. Flat design means they don't tangle like they're angry at you. Safety covers keep things from getting weird. Grab a pair. You'll use them.
EDC That Doesn't Quit
Your pocket knife is a tool. So is your pen. The Bolt Action Pen sits between writing and not breaking. Titanium construction (Stonewashed or DLC Black, your call), smooth action, writes when you need it to. It's the small stuff that separates "I've got a pen" from "I've got *a pen*".
If you've got a keychain with three things already hanging off it, consider the Bit Bar. Wait—we're actually sold out on this one right now, but it's worth mentioning: five driver bits in a titanium frame. Smaller than your finger. Saved us more times than we'd like to admit.
Flavor and Function
Spring work is long work. You're outside from dawn, and by mid-afternoon you're hungry and tired. Real food helps.
The Black Pepper-Garlic Premium Beef Jerky stays in the truck. Protein that doesn't require heating or preparation. Just tear and eat. The grab-and-go size is ideal for a work day.
If you're cooking anything once the day's over, the Bourbon Barrel Smoked Sea Salt changes the game. It's salt that tastes like something. Works on grilled meat, fresh vegetables, even scrambled eggs. The pinch jar lives on the stove.
And if you're into raw honey—the real stuff—the Raw Bee Pollen is worth a jar. Not health-food nonsense. Actual pollen from actual bees. Mix it with warm water or eat it straight. Works.
What's Changed?
We're in the process of refreshing some stuff that didn't survive the winter. The Jersey Short Sleeve Tee is still running, and we'll be cycling in updated designs soon. And yeah, some items are temporarily out as we restock.
The message is simple: good gear doesn't have to be complicated. It has to work. It has to last. It has to be there when you need it. That's what we're stocking. That's what we're using.
Spring's here. Refresh what needs it. Load up on what works. Get to work.
