Collection: Kick Ass Fab – Tools & Branded Gear for Pros and Contractors Who Don’t Settle

Tools That Work as Hard as You Do

At Kick Ass Fab, we build gear for the trades—specifically for mechanical insulators, contractors, and jobsite pros who are sick of repurposed kitchen tools and low-quality knockoffs. Our flagship product, the Kick Ass Knife, is a direct response to decades of guys using the Dexter 1376, a ham boning knife never meant for the job. That stops here. This is a purpose-built insulation cutting knife, not a kitchen relic.

Engineered for the Jobsite. Not the Kitchen.

The Kick Ass Knife is made from German stainless steel (1.4116), with a full tang, a built-in tether, and an etched ruler on both the handle and blade. If you're cutting fiberglass board, faced batts, duct wrap, or sound lagging, you’ll feel the difference on the first slice. This is the fiberglass knife you’ve been waiting for—clean cuts, easy sharpening, and designed to save time on every single job.

Stop Losing Time. Start Cutting Smarter.

Whether you're on a ladder or crawling through a mechanical room, you don’t have time to dig through your bag. That’s why every Kick Ass Knife comes with a rugged Kydex sheath and a safety tether that clips to your belt or harness. No more wasted time. No more lost knives. And with the etched ruler, you’ll stop reaching for your tape measure on every cut. This knife pays for itself in days.

Gloves That Grip, Cut, and Rep Your Crew

We didn’t stop at blades. Kick Ass Gloves are ANSI Level 4 cut-resistant and tough enough for daily insulation work. Built to grip, carry, and protect on jobs where fiberglass, sheet metal, and sharp edges are everywhere. They're designed for the trades and customizable with your logo. Minimum order is 1,000 pairs, and they move fast—because they don’t just protect, they represent.

Your Name. Your Way.

Through our Branded Beast™ program, we turn jobsite tools into custom-branded gear. Whether you’re gifting knives or outfitting a full crew, we etch your logo where it matters—on the handle, the blade, the glove, or the box. This isn’t cheap promo gear. This is real equipment your team will use every day. Built to last. Built to represent.

Patent Pending. Field Tested. Jobsite Ready.

The Kick Ass Knife is patent pending because no one else has built a tool like this for mechanical insulation. Every detail was refined through months of field testing with real crews in real conditions. We listened, adjusted, and built something the trade actually needs. This isn’t a copy. It’s the next evolution of the tools mechanical insulators depend on.

More Than Tools. It’s a Standard.

Kick Ass Fab is here to raise the bar. For too long, tradespeople have had to make do. Now they don’t. From our fiberglass insulation knives to our cut-resistant gloves, everything we make is built with one goal: make your work easier, faster, and safer—without compromise.

So if you’re still cutting duct wrap with a Dexter 1376, it’s time to upgrade. Get the knife that was built for the job. Get the gloves that can take a beating. Gear up with Kick Ass Fab.
