RAK Magnetic Wristband for Tools - Premium Tool Belt
This is the best, most compact and lightweight fully-functional ratcheting 1/4" bit driver I've ever found. It isn't the toughest or the highest quality, but it's good enough, and it's small enough that it won't weigh down a toolbag. The extendible s...

Saker 10In Contour Gauge with Lock - Woodworking Tool
I have carried one of these on all of my key chains ever since I was a teenager (which was a long time ago) and have gifted them to many friends over the years.
This little knife has basic tools that come in handy every day. Though not heavy-duty (I have broken a few over the years by pushing it beyond it’s capabilities) the knife blade is great for opening envelopes or cutting the tape on packages, the scis...
Just remember to take it off your keys before entering concert venues or flying - I have lost several to security or the TSA over the years!

Victorinox Classic SD Swiss Army Knife, 7 Func
This is the kind of thing you dont know you need until you actually buy it, and then realize you end up using it way more often than you thought you would.
I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this kit. Definitely not another cheap crappy tool.

Telescoping Magnetic Pickup Tool Set with LED
Product works as expected. Easy to pull up old caulk and smooth out new. Really appreciate the built in caulk tube puncture tool - it beats using a long nail.
This is a nice little kit that makes a yucky job easier. I would highly recommend.

Goopreen 5-in-1 Caulking Tool w/ 6 Pads
This thing is a must have for DIYers. Easy solution to have a straight line when you are hanging something or painting.
The seller went an extra mile to include a screw driver to open the battery cover.
Although, you will not need it since batteries are preinstalled and the seller included an extra set of batteries as well as an additional ruler (other than the affixed one). Laser length is good. I used on 10 feet long wall and it was good.

Worth it. I always used scissors or a utility knife but the convenience of this electric scissor makes breaking down cardboard boxes super fast and easy. I can declutter from any Amazon deliveries amazingly fast. No more putting it off and having box...
Worx Zipsnip Cordless Electric Scissors WX082L.2
Now I have wanted one of these for years, and I finally broke down and bought one. I chose DeWALT because the price was less than other major tool brands and because I have many DeWALT tools that perform great.
This one did not disappoint either. It comes with a few attachments and a carrying bag, which is nice, but I did buy a multitude of bits from a different manufacturer so I’d have a larger selection.
From what I’ve found, bits are interchangeable for most of the multitools out there, and deWALT accepts them too! Overall a great buy!

DEWALT 20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit
This is my best 6" combo square. The slide is very flat and very easy to read, so long as you want to use imperial. The brass nut has a nice and sharp knurling and feels great.
High quality, best adjustable square I’ve ever bought

IRWIN 12” Combination Square, 45-90° Marking
I don't know why it took so long for someone to come up with the idea of having more than one sensor in a stud finder, but having a whole row of lights is fantastic for letting you know where exactly the stud is taking the guesswork out of finding it...
Before purchasing this product it seemed low technology to me because it has no screen etc. But it works better than the ones with screens. This product is best and easy to use compared to products at a same proce range.

Franklin Prosensor M210 Stud Finder 13-Sensors
This is a really useful little tool and ended up being one of those purchases I’m very glad I made.
I bought it when we purchased a new house and needed to measure rooms before moving in to figure out furniture placement. It worked extremely well for that. You really can’t rely fully on listing measurements, and this made it quick and easy to get a...
It's also nice and small and easy to carry in your pocket or tool pouch. Out of all of the ones I tested I ended up keeping the BOSCH.

his is a great bag for carrying your most used tools. I was looking for something to hold the tools I most frequently use in a project and this met the need perfectly.
It’s very well made. The fabric is very sturdy and I feel confident it will last for years. It has a great design that includes several pockets both on the outside of the bag as well as inside. It is plenty deep and wide enough to hold several larger...
I still have room for several more tools. It also has a sturdy shoulder strap with padding if you don’t want to carry it by hand. It also folds up neatly if you aren’t using it. A terrific value for the cost.

RIDGID 57003 EZ Change Plumbing Wrench
It cuts great, then it gets broken, then you take a new one, and around we go. But for the price its not bad, just dont expect the blades to last for ever, They dont. I have had premium blades and cheap blades, and none of them last forever.
Bionso 55PCS Titanium Oscillating Saw Blades
Although these tools are made of plastic, they are well‑constructed, rigid and not easy to break. The set has a small number of pieces, but every tool is exactly what I need.
