The Best Home Tool Kit I’ve Seen

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

I subscribe to the theory that every home needs tools. I don’t care whether a person rents or owns, tools get elusive only when you don’t have them. This packet of a most generous array of tools for the home carries a special weight for me inasmuch as the entirety of the set not only includes tools and attachments meant for nearly every conceivable chore, but also even supplies drill bits in the assumption the homeowner already has a drill.

The other very, very cool aspect of this kit is how it fits inside a nylon bag, arranged easily inside and with everything within reach. The clunky tool box can go away because this thing fits in many more places, lots easier. It has all the essentials – literally everything and more. 115 pieces altogether from the good folks at Denali, a very good brand.

Tough Little Saw – Too Easy

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

This handy little saw is a handyman’s delight. A one purpose tool, this little workhorse is precisely what it advertises itself as. The remarkable improvements in small tools in the past few years has led to cheaper and more reliable tools with some serious specialization.

This one is plenty powerful enough to cut through 1 inch oak as well as metal. It makes quick work of PVC pipes, vinyl gutters, wire shelving, wallboard, craft projects and a hundred other things. It’s small and light enough for even the most petite among us to grasp it firmly with just one hand, leaving your other free. For sheer utility, this is a tool from heaven. Changing the blade is tool-less, requiring a flick of the fingers. It hangs nicely on it’s recharging wall holder, making it very simply to grab and go.

A Very Cool Battery Powered Wrench

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Ever had a hard-to-reach nut to remove and wondered in apoplexy how on Earth you’ll figure out the proper sized wrench to deal with it? This handy little item allows you to flick a button and it collapses around the nut like nobody’s business. Reaching under a sink or toilet, behind some diabolically-placed nut on a car engine just got easier to deal with.

Boasting 220 foot-pounds of torque, this wrench is powerful enough to handle most household tasks, from car repair to fixing leaks. With the Auto Wrench, you simply press a button (positioned where you rest your thumb) and the jaws would open or close to your specifications. It opens to 1 1/4″, so it can be enlarged enough to get a purchase on most items we encounter in our fixings, especially around the house. At 8″ long, it can fit anywhere. A Black and Decker product, this little tool supposedly gets 650 cycles out of a pair of AA batteries. This is truly a cool little invention.
