Yes, there’s a scientific explanation, but we prefer to think this magnetizing/demagnetizing tool relies on magic. Stick a screwdriver head in the bottom, it’s magnetized. Stick it in the top, it’s demagnetized. Fun for the whole family. Measures 2” square x 1-1/4” with stair-step ports for blades of different sizes. Never drop a screw again.

And it’s cute. Just 4-3/8" long with a pocket clip, it looks like a pen but it has (8) driver bits stored in the barrel. The 5/32” hex bits include slotted 2mm, 3mm, Phillips #1, #2  and torque T5, T6, T7 and T8. We’ll pick one in red, black or blue, because who cares? In assorted colors of red, blue or black. 

The 8-in-1 screwdriver/flashlight combo from iZoom® features un-lose-able drivers. Includes slotted 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", Phillips #0, #1, #2, plus mini-slotted and Phillips, all on hinges at the bottom of the light. Swing them up and they snap in place with the light as a handle. The light/handle has (6) cool-white LEDs shining at 100 lumens. The whole shebang measures 5” long x 1-3/4” dia. and requires 3 "AAA' batteries which are included. 

Sometimes you need to screw around corners, and we feel your pain. Try this flexible extension shaft for your drill or driver. Accepts 1/4” bits. Measures 9” long over all with a flexible portion that’s 4-1/2” long and will bend 180 degrees.

The pipe wrench's gentle cousin, a strap wrench works with rubber straps instead of steel jaws. This strap wrench fits objects up to 4" across in virtually any shape—like oil filters, shower heads, faucets, bottle and jar lids, PVC fittings, stuff like that. Flexible strap makes it easier in confined spaces. From GRIP® Tools.

We like these small pliers and cutters - they're a higher quality than most of the Chinese import tools we're offered. They are drop-forged, high-carbon steel with double-leaf springs, lap joints and rubberized foam handles. There is a trim 6" needle nose, and a 4-1/2" mini-round diagonal cutter. For precision work and hobbies, and especially nice for anyone with small hands.

From the inimitable Stanley® Tools, this 6-in-1 screwdriver is maybe the best thing to happen to the screwdriver since screws. The reversible, stainless steel shaft has small Phillips and flat-heads on one end, and larger versions on the other. Plus the shaft doubles as 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch nut drivers. You might own one of these already, but if there isn't another one in your basement, kitchen, garage, glove compartment, desk, boat, golf bag, briefcase and laundry room, you need more.

For these pliers--known at lineman’s pliers, TLs or combination pliers--the combination is a blunt nose, flat serrated gripper, rounded gripper and cutting jaws, in that order. Ours is a quality tool from Tolsen Tools, 8” long in nickel-plated steel with plastic-coated handles.

Here’s a passel and a half of hex wrenches, and they come in a 14” x 10-1/2” plastic organizer. You’ll get a total of (36) wrenches in every size you’ll need, from 1/16” to 3/8” and 1.5mm to 10mm in both short arm and long arm. Bonus: you’ll also get a 7” extension pipe for added leverage. All are heat treated in a black oxide finish. From GRIP® Tools.

Extremely long nose pliers for when the object of your pliering is out of reach. Measure 11" from grips to tip with 3-1/4” jaws, grippy for the last 2”. They have rubberized handles, too, in case there's electricity at the business end. This is the tool you didn’t know you’d need, but you’re glad you finally got.
