I keep all sizes of these connectors in my electrical tool box. They are very handy when you need to connect multiple wires and have limited space. They come in a variety of configurations for different size wires and different wire counts. There are a number of different styles. If you think you will be removing the wires, you might want to purchase the ones...
Almost every home handyman I know has a “zip” saw or reciprocating saw. This blade turns the saw into a pruning saw. These wicked looking blades make quick work of limbs and sturdy bushes.
I wished I knew about this tool YEARS ago. I break a few sprinkler heads off each year. Many of the times, the pvc is broken off right at a tee. So, you have to dig up a few feet each direction to replace the tee. In my rocky ground this is awful. If I had known about this device, all I would have had...
My wife ended up purchasing this portable scaffolding by mistake and it is one of the BEST MISTAKES EVER. She had driven to Harbor Freight to pick up a DRYWALL LIFT for me. She called and said they had portable scaffolding on sale too. (I thought is was the short light weight scaffolding.) When she got home I was surprised at the size of it....
If you plan to put drywall on the ceiling, you should seriously think about getting a drywall lift. After much research, I chose the basic drywall lift they sell at Harbor Freight. Years ago when I was putting sheetrock up on the ceiling, I rented a drywall lift. I will be putting drywall up on the ceiling off and on for a few months so...
Another tool I LOVE! This stapler is light weight and takes a beating and keeps on stapling. (I have dropped it from a ladder multiple times and it hasn’t skipped a beat.) I have used it for putting in zillions of staples and it hasn’t jammed once. STAPLES – It uses the basic T-50 staples that are available everywhere.
If you use a cordless drill… you need a drill holster. If you are like me, you lay your cordless drill on the ladder… only to have it fall to the floor when you NEED IT. A few months ago, I purchased the Dewalt drill holster and it has been awesome. I only strap it on when I’m using the cordless drill on a ladder....
This hook-shaped blade is pretty nifty. It works in a similar way as the cordless drywall cutout tool. The point pokes a hole in the drywall and you hook the blade in. It does a nice job to clean up some of the areas around a box or in places you can’t get the cutout tool.
Thew Black and Decker 20V MAX tool kit set it a great home system for the basic do-it-yourselfer. If you just want to tackle basic home repair projects, this 68 piece set has all the basics. If one of your kids is moving out of the house for the first time or you just want a set of tools to keep in the house. This...
This electronic tool allows you to digitize video. If you are an old person like me, you have oodles of video tapes. These things are pretty useless in the digital world. This simple device connects to your VCR or other analog video source and converts the signal to digital. It’s simple to use and does a great job. When done, you can save, view and...
