If you are thinking about adding crown molding to your house, this item is a must. This jig allows you to make the coping cut with your jig saw instead of a hand held coping saw. It takes a bit of getting used to… but it 1000% easier than using a coping saw. I installed crown molding in my current home and am adding it...
There are many electrical testers and current testers on the market. I always DOUBLE CHECK wires before working with them with a basic electrical current tester. NON-CONTACT ELECTRICAL TESTER – First, I use a non-contact electrical tester. This simple device lets you know if there is electrical current nearby without actually touching the bare wires. The Sperry unit is my favorite… although I have a...
The Dewalt cordless vacuum is another one of my favorite tools. Being battery powered, it allows me to quickly vacuum up a mess without having to worry about finding an extension cord and power. It has good suction and two built in tools. It can be operated both corded or cordless. And is one of the few tools that works with Dewalt’s 18v or 20v...
This tools makes pulling staples out quick and easy. The floor in the house I’m renovating had carpet in almost every room. Crawling along the floor with a screwdriver and wire cutters is a thing of the past. This tool slips under the staple, grabs it, then by tilting it back simply levers the staple out.
After 25 years of hard use, I decided it was time to replace my Makita Belt Sander. (It is still going strong, but I have broken off a number of the pieces and run over the cord a dozen times.) The new Makita 4″ x 24″ sander is almost exactly like my old one. Most of my tools are Dewalt, but I have been so...
These knee pads are AWESOME. I have two other gelfit knee pads that protect my knees BUT they end up around my ankles in a few hours. These knee pads DON’T SLIDE DOWN when you are walking around. I love them. These knee pads have a piece that straps around your thigh and are articulated so they bend just above your knees. They are comfortable...
Every toolbox should contain a basic contour gauge. It allows you to easily duplicate an exact profile of an irregular shape. There are many different types but I have always preferred a simple one. The gauge has zillions of super-thin pins that move with pressure. You simply slide the gauge up against the surface you want to copy. The pins slide in to copy the...
This cordless blower really packs a punch. It’s hard to believe a cordless blower can have so much power. I use my cordless blower very often but very seldom do I use it to blow leaves. The most common task I use it for is just blowing the dust, dirt, and leaves off the driveway, sidewalk, and deck. But, I’ve used it for just about...
I think the ability to control your thermostat remotely is a must. We have a cabin on a lake 200 miles from our home. It is so nice to be able to turn the heat or air conditioning on so the cabin is a cozy temperature when we arrive. It’s also nice to be able to check on the temperature in the winter. I actually...
This device is AMAZING! It senses when there is water present and sends a signal to your smart home device. I have had plumbing leaks in my basement on a number of occasions. I have this device sitting on the floor of my basement. When it senses water, it sends a signal to my “SmartThings” controller. The controller notifies me by text and automatically turns...
