Tip for using this site:  We list fresh tools every day.

To see the tools just listed you must go to the "WHAT'S NEW" category, then in the center of your page you will see a "SORT BY"  button.  It is always stuck on DEFAULT, which happens to sort alphabetically. So you only see  amazing, awesome.... and other tools which start with A.
 
That would be great if it were your first time here, but what about tomorrow morning? Amazing and awesome was fine yesterday, but today you want to see fresh tools seconds after they hit the web. So grab a cup of joe and sort by MOST RECENT. Now you are looking at tools that were added today. Yes! tools are listed 365 days a year.
 
Here's a TIP WITHIN A TIP: when you get the page sorted properly, hit your favorites or bookmarks button. This will save the page to open this way every day. You can also drag the address bar to your tool bar to have JBT at you finger tips. After all, who has time to sort through thousands of recipes for whiskey and chili (all tool guys live on whiskey and chili...right? ) along with a thousand inactive sites?

it will take weeks to list the Georgia tools but if you suscribe to our newsletter you will see some advance peeks at some jaw dropping tools.
 

just back from the peach meet with over a ton of tools. thanks to doug fowler for his hard work and a great meet. while in georgia we picked up a collection of over 150 tools too phenomenal to describe. each tool is the best example available of it's kind... every tool!|

dear west virginia,

when you plow 30 inches of snow try this little tip: place the snow in the ditch next to the road as the passing lane is used by tool dealers to pass slower moving vehicles. i got to watch the superbowl on tape while i assume the wv plowmen got to watch in real time.
