Q: What were your initial thoughts on using The MAX® Tool Kit?

Brittney: Hands down, the absolute best tool that everyone should have in their horse trailer. It’s like the safety of always having a set of jumper cables in your vehicle – The MAX® should be in your tack room. It’s compact, hangs right on the bridle hooks safely, and you have a tool for nearly any situation.

Q: How did the performance stand up to your expectations?

Brittney: The MAX® Tool Kit exceeded my expectations in sturdiness; a tool with interchangeable heads? How strong could it really be? And no joke, the rake/fork blew my mind. I used it through heavily rocky areas and it moved through the dirt like butter.

Q: If you were to recommend this tool to someone, what would you say to them?

Brittney: As a woman who is usually traveling on my own, it’s comforting to know I always have an entire shed’s worth of tools with me that are high quality in a compact size to take up virtually no space on the wall of the trailer. Buy one, The MAX® Tool Kit is hands down the best all-purpose tool around that gets the jobs done.

If you’ve been looking for a does-it-all tool to add to your collection, then you can stop looking. Unlike other bulky tool kits that take up valuable space, this tool comes with eight commonly used tools all in one lightweight, easy-to-carry, and stow case. One of the things we love most about The MAX® is that it is proudly manufactured in the USA and is a standard piece of equipment on Army Light Tactical Vehicles.

Howdy, I'm Megan deFabry. I grew up in Reno, Nevada, but since 2017 my heart has called Texas home. I now reside in Austin, Texas since 2020. I'm driven by my faith, cherished relationships with family and friends, and my professional ambitions. I'm passionate about digital marketing and journalism, especially the wide-open spaces of America's Western lifestyle, the grit of agriculture, the excitement of rodeo, and the heart of country music. For nearly a decade, I've been sharing this way of life through storytelling. And like any good cowboy tale, there's a loyal sidekick, my little Dachshund, Frank, who I adopted from a shelter in New Braunfels, Texas, back in 2018. He keeps me grounded, reminding me to chase horizons and savor life's simple joys. I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Consumer Affairs and a minor in Mass Communication. My major taught me to decode consumer behavior, which is crucial for marketing, while my minor sharpened my storytelling skills. Since then, I've spent years mastering SEO and content strategy, staying ahead in a fast-moving field. My work even caught the eye of Cowboy Lifestyle Network's CTO, Irish Padmore, who recognized me for contributing to his research on Consumer Behavior in the Age of AI. Since 2018, I've been honored to work at Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Now as Editor-in-Chief writing, editing, and publishing articles that capture the cowboy spirit, crafting strategies rooted in Western values, and building real client connections. Guided by ethical journalism, I aim to tell stories that resonate and reflect the unsung heroes of the Western spirit.
