Tools & Hardware
Hand tools, fencing tools, tarps, straps, and all the small stuff that disappears when you need it. Stocked for fast shipping across the lower 48.
What we carry
Drop-forged fencing pliers from Channellock. Knurled T-post drivers. Heavy-duty silver and black poly tarps from Sigman. Ratchet straps with 10,000+ lb break strength from Erickson. Rechargeable LED headlamps from Coast. Plus knives, multi-tools, hardware, staples, and the consumables every truck loses in the field.
The standard truck kit
If you're stocking a working ranch truck from scratch:
- One quality fencing pliers (drop-forged, 10-1/2 inch)
- One T-post driver (18 lb knurled head)
- 4-pack of 2-inch ratchet straps (27 ft, 3,333 lb working load)
- One 12 ft × 20 ft heavy-duty tarp
- One rechargeable LED headlamp with red night mode
- One folding knife
- Bucket of fence staples
That covers 80% of field work on a working operation.
Hauling and hay season
For hay season, ratchet straps and tarps do the heavy lifting. Read our Hauling Hay Tie-Down Math for federal DOT requirements and the strap math that actually keeps bales on the trailer.
Why we stock these specific tools
The brands we carry are what we use on our own ranches. Channellock fencing pliers from 1980 still work. Sigman tarps survive two seasons of Texas sun where cheap imports last six months. Coast headlamps come back to life after being dropped, soaked, and run over.
