Pictures crooked? This Professional Picture Hanging Home Toolbox Kit has been “used by museums and art galleries since 1964,” according to the box.

Devices used to hold spring in place, thus ensuring eternally promis-ing, but changeable and wet weather. No? How about this then: Steel grips, spring loaded to keep their tips tightly closed on whatever you chose to target. The handles and tips have been coated with a light plastic to improve grip and provide a bit of insulation. The clamp is about 4" long x 5/8" wide and opens about 1-1/4". They have strong grips and will crush fragile items, but do a good job of holding things while the glue dries, you do the soldering, or the materials bond.

Skivvy-sewing lessons? Nah, just go commando. But if you want to make your own drawers, as in places to keep stuff, try this small drawer slide. Measure 7” long, and extend to approx 12”. Drilled with a plethora of holes to screw it to the sides of the drawers you made. Or the ones you already have and want to slide. Note, this is a single slide, so unless you're replacing a broken one, you'll need to order two.

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.

No weight rating, but the bigger the stronger. Go ahead, check around for prices on shelf-standard hardware. Then order these.

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.

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.
