In these challenging
economic times, it is
understandable that
money can indeed be
tight! However, here
are two fairly in-
expensive tools that
provide good bang
for the buck.
And rather than
spending money on
items that basically
‘disappear,” why not
get something tangible?
The first tool, is the Can-Gun1 Spray Handle. It is a rattle-can trigger, and
although it does not reinvent the wheel, it is inexpensive, light, and it provides
2.5:1 mechanical leverage for fatigue-free paint application. As it snaps on to
any standard aerosol can, it can be used over and over again. The bottom line
is if your index finger ends up in an almost permanent ‘L’ shape, this tool may
well be for you! Cost: $3.99 -$4.69. It is available at Ace Hardware, Valspar
Paint stores, and through Amazon.com or by visiting: www.cangun1.com.
Next, is the WIHA Stubby 6-1-Bit Set. The premium German tool maker
WHIA has seen a real demand for its line of insulated tools at auto stores
as related to electric cars. This 2.5 inch long stubby screwdriver has a soft
grip handle and a magnetic cap that stores six hardened steel bits. Five
different sets are available including Torx, Security Torx, Ball Hex, and
various combinations of Slotted, Phillips, Square, and Pozidriv. Cost:
$19.98 - $28.98. Visit the WHIA web site at: www.wihatools.com.
Investing in good tools is always a good deal. And years from now, we
might be asking why we did not pick up two!
