Does your wrist get tired twisting on the electrical wire nuts. If so… this is the tool for you. Snap it into your cordless screwdriver or drill and it will do the twisting for you. I’ve found it easiest to get the wire nut started by hand. Then, slip the nut twister over the end and it and pull the trigger on your cordless drill....
This device makes a short bed pickup into a long bed pickup. I drive a Honda Ridgeline. The truck is AWESOME… but the truck bed is fairly short. So, when I carry sheets of plywood or long pipe, I plug this into my boat hitch and I instantly have an extended truck bed. You can adjust the height and width of the extension so it...
If you have a large sheet of plywood or paneling to move by yourself, this tool helps. My problem with carrying a large sheet is gripping it. I either squeeze it under my elbow or try to grab it and tote it above my head. When I was younger, both of these methods worked pretty good. Now, I need some help. I own three different...
These wheels make moving sheets of plywood across a smooth easy. In a house remodel, I had to put down a large number of sheets of 3/4 OSB. These tiny wheels helped make the job much easier. Just lift one end of the plywood and slide these wheels under. Lift the other side and pull. As long as the surface is relatively smooth… the sheet...
Ok… this blade scares me to use… but it has come in handy a number of times. I initially bought a few of these blades to trim the floor up next to the wall. When it spins up on the grinder it is like a chainsaw on steroids. If you need a cutting blade for your grinder, this one will do the trick.But, be sure...
If you work with tools you wear dust masks. I’ve worn a ton of the cheap dust masks over the years and I can’t believe how much better this style of dust mask is. It isn’t very expensive and makes breathing much easier. There is a simple one-way valve on the front of the mask that easily lets air out but when you breath in,...
Although not really a tool, it is a pretty cool device for keeping critters out of your yard. Basically, it is a sprinkler that is activated by motion. We have geese that keep coming up on our dock at our summer cabin. We tried everything but this is the first that is keeping them away. When it senses the geese getting hear, it sprays them....
This super simple tool has come in handy a zillion times. It’s basically like having a magnet glued on the end of your finger. The fingertip magnet allows you to hold and retrieve any small metal object. I heard of this tool when I was building my plane. There were oodles of times when I had to get a nut on the end of a...
Black and Decker has a great book containing most of the basic plumbing, electrical, construction, and mechanical codes. The pictures and diagrams make it fairly easy to make sure your DIY projects are up to code. I know you can find just about any code using the Internet, but I find it really handy to have them all in one place. Also, there is SO...
This awesome cable dispenser keeps your wire from tangling. It sits on a mount on the floor or hangs from a stud. If you do much wiring, this tool is a must. It’s sturdy and well designed. You just drop the roll of wire on the spool and thread the wire through a large swiveling eyelet.
