Portable Alarm

The gadget blog RedFerret points to a portable 110db alarm for placing next to tool chests, in the back of the truck, or near your lunch.

It's a horrible annoyance to worry about jobsite pilfering. A robot alarm is an important concept, although I was surprised this unit has a price of $250. I suppose new products carry a capital penalty. The rechargeable Yeti is here.

Save the kitty! Pull the nails!

The moment I saw the kitty in this box of trim and nails, the first thing that came to my mind was my new NailJack.

Perfect for the job!

At work I've finished lately, I like this new tool. They are more handy every day. Can use them for hours without hand strain. To save costly trim, nails are easily pulled through from the back of the piece, saving the good wood.

Big money saver.

Just like pliers, I can see the day when we call 'em nailjacks - no longer a brand name. "Hey Tom. Get me my nailjacks. Will ya, please?"

NailJack's flat curve, they call it an anvil, is a key improvement and won't mar and gnarl like common nail pullers. And the NailJack is fast, as easy to use as any pair of pliers.

Cats and kitties and me all agree, for remodeling, repair and renovation, these are the best invention in ages.
