Screw around corners or practice your close-order drilling with this right angle chuck adapter for an electric drill. Ratio is 1:1, so the speed matches your drill speed and has all metal gears for long life. Has a 3/8” chuck & key and fits drills with 3/8" chucks. Includes a 2-3/4” right-angle handle that will screw in the left or right side for added leverage. Whole shebang is 5” long and is from eazypower.

Any way you want it. This cast aluminum wire jig for jewelry-making measures 4-3/8" x 1" x 5/8" with (4) 1” x 1/4” steel pegs, semi-circular and triangular bending points, slots at 3/32",1/8" and 3/16" wide, plus one with a small divot to one side. Includes mounting screws so you can stick it to your workbench. Not into jewelry? Bend your own fishing hooks, S-hooks and soft metal strips.  

Jewelers have the best looking tools. This ultra-slim knife is 4-1/2" long OA, with a flat metal handle that comes in assorted colors (our choice). The short, broad blade is honed to fit into the slit in a watch case and pop the back off easily. It doesn't fold into itself, but does come in a protective vinyl sleeve for storage. Very sharp.

These rolls of light blue, pink and yellow masking tape (and maybe even more colors) would be right at home at an Easter egg hunt or a preppy-themed party. Or for any taping situations where you don’t want to use the same old beige stuff. Bring some happy color into your life! These rolls are 1" wide and 10 yards long, and our each is (3) rolls of different colors.

Safety is as safety does these days, and we recommend these high-quality, safety goggles, unvented for maximum splatter protection and ANSI Z87.1-rated. Measure 6” wide x 3-5/8” tall x 3-1/8” deep. The black elastic strap is adjustable, and the flexible sides and top allow for a better seal against the face. One size fits most adults, and Pat, the boss around here, slipped them over his glasses, no problem. Goggles are sealed in a bag and the vendor says sterile if un-opened, which is good since you just washed your hands. We’ve seen them selling for $9-plus in the Ama-zone. Our price is better, right? Our bulk pricing makes them great for the workplace or schools.

You know what you need to lock up better than we do, so when you finish building that cabinet, secure it with this cabinet lock. 11/16" cylinder diameter, depth is 1-1/4”, and it has a 1-1/2” lock arm. Comes with (2) keys because you know how you lose things (we do too). Locking nut is included and key removes in both positions.

Hang it all with this set of (10) magnetic hooks. The 1-3/16" long x 9/64" hooks screw into 1-3/8" dia magnetic bases with an approx 8-lb pull, which is heavier than most jackets and keys. Good for horizontal or vertical mounts, and dandy for adding hooks to gym or school lockers.

You say your ex locked your bike to a fence just to be cruel? We’ve been there. Worry no more. From Tolsen Tools, this 8" long mini bolt cutter is compact and ready to slice through steel. Has a CRV steel blade which opens to 1/4" max., a steel-plated handle with a soft grip and a wire lock to keep them closed. Tolsen makes good stuff. After you free your bike, go find something else to cut.

Wire glue-the solution when you can't find the soldering iron, don't want to bother, are out in the woods, don't quite trust a fifth-grader with a hot gun, can't reach the connection with both hands, whatever. This stuff conducts low voltage AC and DC circuits in a permanent bond and is easy to use. Our high-tech support group suggests that a toothpick is a good way to apply it. Cures overnight. Our each is a 0.3 oz/9ml jar.

Our thinner picker-upper, but with a powerful 5-lb-pull, 9/16" dia magnet on the business end (for spilled nails, the screw that rolled under the stove, or the heavy wrench you dropped into the sump). The 5/16" dia x 5-1/4" long 4-draw barrel extends to a full two feet. Has a convenient pocket clip.

The secret is ceramics. This newly redesigned 5-1/2" long precision cutter has a ceramic point that's as sharp as an X-actly knife, stays sharp 11x longer than steel, never rusts, is non-conductive, non-magnetic, non-sparking, chemically inert and is easier to maneuver in intricate cutting patterns. Cuts paper, card stock and more easily while being finger-friendly. Pencil-style ambidextrous durable nylon handle with a textured anti-slip grip and no-roll oval design has a cap and now features a replaceable blade. A boon for crafters, and a blessing for junior crafters.

Everything from Tolsen Tools is solid, and that includes this 8" long end cutting pincer tool with 1-3/16" jaws. It’s made of chrome vanadium steel, and you should get one for that reason alone. Not to mention the soft and grippy rubber-coated handles. Damn, we love quality tools.

Safety Glasses-R-Us. Behold our cornucopia of safety glasses, all in variations on the classic aviator style with added side shields. Measure approx 5-1/4” to 5-3/4” across with polycarbonate lenses. You pick the black metal frames with dark lenses and shields meeting ANSI Z87.1 standards or the brown plastic frames with dark lenses and shields.

Winner of this week's "What IS That?" award. It's a watch crab, also called a spanner wrench, that's designed to remove the back from watches, lenses from telescopes, and other thin, flat components from whatever they're attached to. Heavy for its size, it's 1" x 2-3/4" x 3/8" thick, with sharp 1/4" prongs projecting from the edge. The prongs move from 2" to 7/16" apart as you spin the knurled nut between them. An impressive tool to flash in front of your brother-in-law. If he doesn't read our catalog, he won't have a clue!

Our smallest vise, and arguably our handiest around the house: call it the Jaws of Aluminum. Clamp this small table vise onto a surface up to 3/4" thick and let it be your third hand. The jaws are 1-1/2" wide and open to a maximum of 1-1/4".

This 16-piece set of watchmaker's tools are just as handy for jewelry-makers, crafters, or anyone else working with small parts. The professional watch-repair kit Includes (2) tiny Phillips-head screwdrivers, (3) diminutive flat-heads, a case knife, non-magnetic tweezers, case wrench, metal/plastic watch hammer, link-pin remover, double-head pin pusher, (3) pin-punches, small needle-nose pliers, and a watchband holding block.

Then better check your bore. This tiny bore light, made for looking into barrels or other tight spots, measures 3-1/4" long x approx 5/8” dia with a single white LED. Includes a slide on right-angle fiber-optic head and a pocket clip. Take off the head and it’s a nice mini flashlight. You add (1) “AAA” battery.

The Easy Search Tool Bag combines the best of a tool box with the convenience of those bucket liners, where you can see all your most-used tools at a glance. In heavy, water-resistant gray and black poly-canvas with a rubber bottom, it measures 16” x 10” x 11” tall with a gazillion pockets. OK, (13) inside, so your pliers don't get lost at the bottom, and (25) total covering all four sides for the stuff you reach for most; including (2) hook and loop closed pouches. Pat says it's cut his tool-searching time by 70%, and his cussing has decreased by at least (5) words a day. Heavy-duty (the bag) with canvas handles and a hinged top so it will unzip and stand open like a Gladstone bag. Man, this thing is nice.
