Pictures crooked? This Professional Picture Hanging Home Toolbox Kit has been “used by museums and art galleries since 1964,” according to the box. Before that, museums and galleries must have used a different kit. Either way, this is one’s nice, and it’ll hang up to (38) works of art, including the dogs playing poker. Comes with a compact, sturdy hammer/screwdriver-nesting multitool, plus a bunch of hangers and nails, including “blue steel!” For hanging objects of up to 100 lbs, so no juries—artwork and picture frames only.

Storage Maid™ made these (2) kinds of rail-based storage systems for bikes and whatever else. Both come with mounting flat rail brackets that screw into the wall; hooks; instructions; and all the necessary hardware for each hook to hold 100 lbs. Super sturdy and space saving. Jarvis Says you pick.

• The Horizontal Bike Hook Kit has (2) side-by-side 16” rails and (2) hooks that extend out a full foot with 3” of rubber-coated hook with a 1-1/2” dip.

• The Garage Rail System has (2) 16” rails that you can mount anywhere to hold the included (2) curved steel hooks, 7” long with a 3-1/2” dip, and (2) L-shaped hooks that extend out approx 8”.

We’re into hygiene around here (it’s the Science in us), and if we didn’t already have foot grabs on our restroom doors, we’d be installing these in a hot second. They look like little soap dishes, with up-pointing serrated edges. Made of 14-gauge silver/grey powder-coated steel and include (5) #10, 1-1/2” long stainless-steel screws. Attach the 5” x 2” back to the bottom of a door, set your foot on 3-1/8” wide x 3-1/4” long toothed platform and gently pull. Way easier than it seems. Made in USA.

These are the gold standard of twist ties, not to be confused with those skinny little suckers that come on all electronic cords in the known universe. These are Gear Ties®, coated in protective, grippy black rubber with heavy rubber tips, 12" long x 1/8" dia (they look sort of like boot laces with match heads on the ends), suitable for indoors or outdoors, reusable veritably ad infinitum, and oh so satisfying to twist and creatively crimp. Use them for bread bags, earbuds, napkin and silverware sets, power cords, USB cables, mic cords or garden hoses--or turn them into jewelry and be the most interesting person at the party.

They teach you to say that in engine-repair school. They’re probably right, too. This basic in-line fuel filter is for small engines—like lawn mowers—with 1/4” OD fittings on both sides. Has a 1-3/8” dia see-through plastic housing so you can see the filter.

Clamps. Whatever. These measure approx 5" long x 1-1/2"' at their widest. They open to about 2", though, so they'll not only grab test tubes, they'll pluck cubes from an ice bucket. Or carry a few stems of asparagus. And you do get a pair, so you could always have a tong war.

Get started with this package of toilet bolts which includes (2) 1/4" x 2-1/4" bolts with nuts and washers for securing the bowl to the floor. Finally, the tank bolt replacement set, for securing the toilet tank to the bowl, is a pair of 3" long x 5/16"-18 brass bolts, with nuts, rubber gaskets and brass washers.

Your ordinary generic everyday plain old steel hinge measures 2" long x 1-1/2" wide when open with a 1/8" axle and mounting holes just a hair under 1/4". Comes with screws, as they will. Ordinary, yes, but necessary.

From Gardner Bender®, these flexible re-useable straps are a foot long x 3/8” wide with triangular links and can be, with a little tugging, unzipped for re-use. Rated for 20-lb tensile strength and can be daisy-chained for big bundles. Call them the Rezippers. You'll get twelve per pack.

It's a threefer from Farpoint® so you can see what you're doing, where you're going and fix what you were going there for. Includes a 5” long, 350-lumen tactical flashlight with a slide focus, and (3) power levels, plus a strobe and SOS flash. Also includes a 200-lumen weatherproof utility worklight with a folding hanger and a magnetic base. And the coup de grace an 8-in-1 screwdriver/flashlight combo with slotted drivers at 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", Phillips #0, #1, #2, and mini-slotted and Phillips, all on hinges at the bottom of the light. Oh, and there’s a 6-LED light in the handle, just as a bonus.

Like a third hand in the electronics lab, this circuit-board rack from Elenco® has a pair of stable 6-1/2" legs and 3" tall arms with clips, one spring-loaded, to hold the board. It's a must for any electronics DIY-er. Adjusts from 0 to 9-3/8" apart and lets you rotate the board it holds a full 360 degrees. Both clips and legs lock with thumbscrews.

In the wine? No, on the narrow strapping. These zinc-plated, spring-loaded cam buckles are 3/4” ID and measure 1-3/8" long x 3/8" thick with a hefty 450-lb capacity, assuming you use the right sort of strap.

A rubber grommet, 7/8" dia x 11/16" thick, with a brass insert that forms a flange over one face and lines about 3/4" of the length of the 1/4" dia bore. Use it as a grommet, a shock mount, or both. With  a brass wire hanger that is set under the insert flange and extends 1" to the side. The hanger is bent to hold a 1/4" dia wire.

If you had a 10-foot loaf of bread, these would be the only way to close the plastic bag. They're 34" long x 1/2" dia with flexible metal cores covered by a thick layer of foam that grips tightly. Tie up big tools and cables, make ad hoc hooks, tie down outdoor furniture, organize sports equipment, wrap sails and gear of all sorts (we think they’ll float), or make emergency repairs. Our each is a 2-pack of basic-Blue or bright green giant ties.

The mother of all flashlights! At a foot long, this extra-sturdy rechargeable LED COB flashlight shines an ultra-bright 5000 lumens and has the ability to charge your phone and other devices with its USB output. Has (3) beam settings (max/low/strobe) with an adjustable slide focus and a range of 150 meters. The 6000mAh powerbank has a USB port, and comes with a charging cable. Lasts 90 minutes on high, or three hours on low. Weatherproof, and the power cord stores in the handle.

Forget basketball and put up those shelves like you've been promising since Dartmouth beat Duke. These are standard, industrial L-brackets for garage, basement and storeroom items—not the sort to hold your bookshelves, unless you're into that look. The longer arm usually goes on the wall for stability, but for really lightweight shelving you could flip them. You pick the 6" x 8" bracket in light gray steel or the 8” x 10” in light gray steel. No weight rating, but the bigger the stronger. Go ahead, check around for prices on shelf-standard hardware. Then order these.

These small spring hose clamps are 5/8" dia when resting and 11/16" dia when squeezed to the max, which not coincidentally are the minimum/maximum ODs of the hoses they will clamp shut. We've all got something that needs pinching every now and then, don't we?

Hardware from Monkey Grip, Inc.? Those would be professional–quality tire repair products –– in this case, air–line couplers with a 1/4 NPT thread on one end and a fitting for a T–type connector on the other. The 1–1/2” long interchangeable steel nipples have T–connectors that are threaded. Excellent quality, whatever your application.
