[$28] Being a man isn’t all drinking whiskey and chopping lumber – men have to do a lot of other stuff too, like drink beer and put the lumber they just chopped into neatly stacked piles. But don’t take our word for it; take Glenn O’Brien’s instead. As the veteran “Style Guy” columnist at GQ, he knows a thing or two about being a guy, and he’s sharing those things in his book How To Be a Man. (more…)

[$80 - $180 depending on entry time] Some folks enjoy a nice cold brew and some couch-time on the weekend. Others enjoy running ten miles through a fiery hell-scape filled with live 10,000 volt wires, waist-deep mud, and 15 foot walls of ice. To each his own, but for those who want to prove they’re manlier than a seasoned lumberjack, there’s the Tough Mudder- the self-described hardest race on the planet. (more…)

[$25/month] Jerky is widely considered the third manliest food in the world, just behind turkey legs wrapped with bacon and great white shark steaks. And while those latter two delicacies are harder to come by, jerky is even more readily available than ever thanks to the Jerky of the Month Club. Each month the club will send you three new types of gourmet jerky, and not just the standard beef variety- we’re talking elk, venison, and buffalo (guaranteed to put some extra hair on your nuts).

[$15] The accomplishments of men are virtually endless- we’ve conquered foreign lands, built sprawling cities, and won every Super Bowl to date, but perhaps the greatest measure of a man is his cave. While we may not all be fortunate enough to have a man cave in our own home, each of us has certainly basked in the glow of a fellow man’s shrine to masculinity. For those looking to build their own man cave, or those who just appreciate greatness, The Man Cave Book by Mike Yost (mancavesite.org) and Jeff Wilsner is both a guide book and a tribute to caving.

[$80] A good hand-saw will take you places in life. Mainly to the hospital, but that’s beside the point. If you find yourself in the market for a quality saw, look no further than the Z-Saw. Built by renown Japanese hardware producers, Okada, the Z-Saw is unmatched in blade quality, and features a unique internal piston that puffs away saw dust using kinetic energy from the worker’s cutting motion.

[$8] Drills are up in our top 3 power tools along with band saws and nail guns, so we’re really pumped to be able to use a drill for things besides drilling. The C.H. Hanson Drill Pencil Sharpener attaches to any electric drill, allowing you to sharpen your pencils in an overly manly fashion. Apparently it’s also good at sharpening “Wood Dowels, Candy Canes, Bread Sticks, Biscotti, Cheetos, Pretzel Sticks”. Gotta love Amazon reviewers. (more…)

[$25 - $40] Vibrating razors with 51+ blades are all the rage these days, but those things can be hell on your skin and deliver a crap shave. If you’re looking for a clean shave with minimal irritation, you want a straight razor. And if you’re new to straight razors, you’ll probably want to avoid dropping a stack of bills on a quality razor (just in case, you know, shaving like a manly-man turns out not to be your thing, you little pansy.) Entering the straight razor world with the Dovo Shavette would be a wise choice. (more…)

[$36] It’s hard to overstate how much we love Neatoshop, and these awesome BBQ Tools only make us love them more. Yes, your wildest dreams have just come true: that’s a wrench, a hammer, and a tape measure connected to those grilling tools, and they work like a champ. (more…)
