This isn’t your normal DIY tool… but I had to share my amazing knew printer. Finally, someone invented a printer that makes it affordable to print in color. The printer has super sized ink tanks that are easy to fill from small bottles of ink. My last inkjet printer had small ink cartridges that were expensive, tiny, and short lived. It seemed like every month...
This lightweight mask it the perfect HEPA filter dust mask. It is comfortable to wear all day, yet protect your lungs from dust and debris. The mask made of a soft pliable rubber that conforms to your face. It also has a one way air valve that makes breathing easy. I originally ordered this mask because my safety goggles kept fogging up with the disposable...
A work apron makes is MUCH EASIER to tackle jobs around the house or job. This apron is one of my favorites. For years I used a tool belt with suspenders, but lately I’ve found an apron with a bunch of pockets works better. I load it up with the tools I need for a specific project and it saves me walking back and forth...
This 11 inch double sided knife is perfect for cutting rock wool insulation. I am using rock wool insulation for the first time in the home I am currently renovating. I pulled a ton of the old black rock wool out of the walls and ceilings. I never would have guessed I would be putting rock wool back. But, after a ton of research, it...
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.
I LOVE these things. I have three inexpensive laser levers and use them all the time. These devices project a horizontal level laser line around the room. Each also projects a vertical level line. They are self leveling, so you just put them at the height you want the line and they project a level line. FLOOR LASER LEVEL – This device has been a...
Here is another tool I never knew existed but now that I have one I love it. This tool grabs ahold of the zip tie you are installing, tightens it, then cuts it off. You can adjust the tension on the cables. It is simple and effective. Every person who uses zip ties (which is just about everyone), should have one of these tools.
I have tried a number of stud finders but this is the first one that works consistently. This device automatically calibrates to the thickness of your wall, then lets you detect wood studs, metal studs, copper pipe, and even wiring. FRANKLIN WALL SENSOR – This is another of my stud finders. The users at Amazon give it a high rating, but I have found it...
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...
