Stop wrapping duct tape around your vise, and protect delicate material the right way with this pair of hard-rubber, ribbed pads made to cover the jaws. The pads have (2) rare earth magnets embedded inside the rubber. Made for a 4" vise, they measure 4" long x 1-1/8" high x 3/8" thick with a lip along one long side. The rubber is 3/32" thick.

It’s not all swinging hammers and sawing wood for carpenters. They do a lot of measuring and marking, which is why they have their own style of pencil. Ours has a built-in, removable sharpener hidden in the top and (2) kinds of lead (2B and yellow), allowing for clear marks on light or dark surfaces. Body is orange, with a pocket clip. You’ll also get a total of (6) refills in a slim, see-through storage case.

Sucking, of course, is the syringe bulb’s raison d’etre, and this one’s insatiable! Got a baby? Baby got snot? This little nose-vacuum will do the trick. Ear wax building up? Bring it on! Kitchen spill? Get a mop already—there are limits. But the 2.25" ridged rubber bulb and 2” tapered tip, 0.2" at the end, feel so good in your hand, you’ll happily agree next time someone tells you how much you suck.

Handy 3-pack of syringes, 10ml, 20ml and 60ml, perfect for squirting glues, greases, lubes, paint, whatever you need to squirt. And if you use them as squirt guns, you didn't get the idea from us. Small ones are graduated in 1ml increments; the big one in 2ml. All come with caps, so you don't dribble.

Got an inadequate hose? Nothing to be ashamed of. We’ve been there. Well, some people we know have. This little pressure-washer gizmo might do the trick when you’re cleaning up your Benz.

Pays for itself after a single wash.

Hang on to your widgets, screws, bolts, pins and assorted teeny tinies while you're taking things apart. This indispensable 6" dia x 1-1/8" deep magnetic stainless steel dish from Omaha Tools holds all those parts and saves you from crawling around on the floor later, when you're putting things back together.

What you torch is up to you, but we suggest you do it with this extra-high temperature 2300F refillable butane Torch Blue. It’s handheld, in a pistol-grip style, with a blue cylindrical body/handle, a wide black plastic base, a silver nozzle up top and a blue sliding lever control. Measures 6-1/2" x 5" x 2-1/2" comes empty but takes standard butane canisters. Creme brule anyone? 

Everyone knows sawing is hard work (even just saying “sawing is hard work” feels like an old saw!), so give yourself a break with this comfy yet aggressive 15” coarse-cut handsaw. The anti-slip black and orange handle with rubber grip reduces hand fatigue (comfy) while the alloy steel blade with tri-bevel teeth makes for fast cutting (aggressive). Has (10) points per inch.

A 2-1/2" x 1-5/8" plastic-framed mirror swivels on a ball-joint mount at the end of telescoping handle that stores at 8" long and extends to 31". The contoured rubber-coated handle makes those double-shift inspection days a little easier.

Translucent plastic, no-needle syringes. You pick! (8-pack of 1ml/cc, 4" long in .01 increments) or (6-pack of 5ml/cc, 3" long in 1ml increments) or (30cc / 1 oz. Measures 5-1/2” long compressed x 3/4” dia with an offset 1/16” ID outlet) or the assorted (8-Pack 2-each of 1,2,3,5 ml w/varying increments) Handy in the lab, workshop, kitchen and craft room, but you could also attach one of these to the head of your favorite teddy bear and have a furry with a syringe on top. (We’re sorry. We couldn’t stop ourselves.)
