New Tools For the Workroom 06/02/2009
I have a confession to make. I am a DIY TV Junkie. I long ago graduated from the HGTV Design on a Dime type shows, and now I want to see shows on how to rip down a wall. How to install an kitchen. How to retile my entire front hallway. I’ve even graduated from Better Homes and Gardens and other shelter magazines and I find myself perusing Home Depot for The Family Handyman, This Old House and Woodworking. Every tool in the house belongs to me. The miter saw, the jig saw and even the router, I’ve only ever used once. I also find that at some point or other every tool in my workshop garage, eventually walks into my workroom. So when it’s time to do a home repair project, like, oh say, replacing a sink’s shut off valve I have to dig through the workroom to find all my tools. That’s why I’m so in love with DIY’s show Cool Tools and their once yearly show about the National Hardware Show. Everytime I watch it I think, “That would be a great tool for my workroom. And that would be a great tool and that.” So here are some clever tools, that would work in your workroom. BOSCH MiterFinder Digital Protractor / Angle Finder w/ Leg Extension & Carrying Case - A digital angle finder. Just stick it in the angle of those annoying bay windows and it will digitally calculate and remember the angle. ProHold Wrist Band By McFeelys - Great for installations or even just working in the workroom. Never look for pins or screws again The VIKA USA Twofold Workbench and Scaffold. Just think, when installing you won't have to climb down the ladder, mover the ladder, climb back up the ladder. Instead you can just move across the scaffold. It raises up higher for a great mini work table too. Add Comment | welcomeTo the Needle and The Thread.
