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.

You’ll never feel like a hack with this 16” quick-refill tension hacksaw from Great Neck. It’s all metal with a rubber handle grip, and it includes a standard 1/2” fine-tooth blade. (replacements available at any hardware store) A thumb release on the handle swings it open to quickly discharge the old blade for replacement. No screwing around here! Celebration cake not included, but you won’t even need a separate knife.

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.

Look, Ma, one hand! These 10" Powerbuilt® wrenches have spring-loaded, self-adjusting jaws made to bite, hold and turn virtually anything--round, flat, hex or oddly shaped--that will fit. The jaws open to 2-3/8" apart and remain parallel. Designed so the jaws will generate 4X the clamping power of the ANSI pliers standard. Unlike you, its jaws have hardened steel teeth. Good to have a few in the garage, workshop and camper.

Call it the best paint (and label and putty) scraper ever made. Great big nonslip padded grip, a blade holder with a thumbscrew (reverse the blade when not in use), and a 4-draw, push-button extension that takes it from 6-1/2" to 9-1/2" long. Comes with one blade installed and two extra in the handle. The scraper to have when you're scraping more than one window. From IIT®.

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.

We’re not sure why that saying never caught on, because it sounds really dismissive. But actually, it’s really satisfying to bend a tube, especially when you have a quality, lever-style tube bender like this one. This tool from HDX™ makes going on a bending bender a pleasure. Has (3) channels of different diameters to perfectly curve 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" tubes at angles up to 90 degrees.

There are plain ol’ planes and there’s the 42000 Plane from Tolsen Tools. This hand-held, steel-bodied wood plane has a carefully sharpened, adjustable blade that can be used for smoothing and removing soft or hard wood. Also has an anti-slip comfort PVC grip and knob. Blade is 1-3/4” wide x 3-1/8" long, and the whole shebang measures a compact 9-1/4” long. Though not numbered, we believe this is a No. 3 bench plane despite being a smidge longer than normal. Tolsen means quality, which sounds like an ad slogan, but it’s true.
