How capability is counted

📊

Capability, not features

Each tool is scored by which of the twelve axes it lifts and by how much — not by its spec sheet.

🤝

Neighbors count

What the house next door already has can cover your gap. Borrow before you buy.

🌳

Built to be used

Tools for years of ordinary use, not a bucket of gear that waits in the garage. Good-looking enough to leave out.

How the shelves are chosen

Nothing here is stocked; every listing links out to the shop that sells it. A tool earns its place by being useful on an ordinary day and still useful when the power is out.

Solarpunk, not tactical. No camo, no fear, no prepper stigma.
