This is an ingenious tool I’m sure was invented by an electrician. If you come across an electrical box that you can’t start a screw in, this tool taps the threads. It’s designed so it graduates to bigger sizes. Just pop it into the hole and it will move to the correct size. It taps 6-32, 8-32 and 10-24 screws. All the standard sizes!
Electricians Screwdriver
This screwdriver is like most multi-bit screwdrivers but with one FABULOUS feature. The handle end is designed to grab a hold of wire nuts and give you added leverage to turn them. Just slide the handle over the wire nut and twist.
Cordless Drill Holster
It seems like my cordless drill is just out of reach when I need it. Usually, I’m holding something up so I can’t grab it easily. This holster keeps your cordless drill handy. My only issue is the weight of the drill in the holster keeps pulling my pants down.
Drywall Lifter
This tool is designed to lift a sheet up off the floor with one foot while you put screws in the drywall. Simple, yet effective.
Drywall Blade
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.
Drywall Cutout Tool
I paid to have someone else tape and texture my drywall. I have tried it myself and I wanted a professional job. The guys who did the taping asked who did the drywall. They said it was one of the nicer jobs they had seen. I was proud of it. There are two reasons it turned out so well. The first was THIS TOOL. It...
Drywallers Knife
If you install much drywall this combination knife is a great addition to your tool belt. It is a standard utility knife on one side and has a pop out drywall saw on the other. This is my favorite plain old drywall knife. It is simple to flip open and I don’t worry about slicing off a finger when I close it like I do...

About me
Although I spent most of my life as a classroom teacher, I have always been interested in the latest tools, gadgets, and gizmos. From a young age, I roamed the aisles of my dad’s True Value Hardware store playing with the tools and gadgets. I would bring home the defective power tools, tear them apart, try to figure out how they worked, and attempt getting them working again. (I ended up buying the hardware store after my dad retired.)
On this site, I plan on sharing some of the COOLEST DIY TOOLS I can find. And… let you know what I think of them.
