Our apartment is filled with many pieces of original artwork, prints, and wall shelving. To be honest, and to the horror and dismay of my "by the books" girlfriend, these were mostly hung up by eye an...
For a long while we used to carry a small Swiss Army Knife on our keychain; we can't count the many times it came to the rescue in and out of the house. But thanks to heightened security everywhere, w...
Use a hammer long enough and you're bound to one day miss the mark and "nail" one of your fingers or thumb instead. Designer Matthias Pinkert designed the ingenious "Shark", which looks strikingly lik...
Last week, we found ourselves clearing out some old things and reconfiguring the contents of one of our closets. We wanted to consolidate and had to find a way to fit a vacuum, step ladder, and an iro...
That economic stimulus package hasn't arrived yet (Ummm, hello...Uncle Sam? Anyone?), but we're thinking some lucky dad might find himself getting one of these amazing tool sets from Sears funded part...
We don't know how many times we've needed a stepladder (which we do already have) or a hand truck to move heavy items (which we don't), but this is a two-in-one solution looks mighty useful in either...
They say "necessity is the mother of invention" and anyone who has regularly snowboarded knows, you'll undoubtedly need a screwdriver/wrench when you're least likely to have one on you. The 686 Snow T...

We're no prudes, but when it comes to our screws, we really, really hate stripped screws. We're bummed out we didn't know about the Grabit Screw Extractor before...would have saved us from many explet...
Scheduling a pick up? Every time we hit the swap meet, we always kick ourselves for not calling that friend of ours who owns a pickup truck. We've been using bungee cords, but they've been wearing...

The only thing worse than not getting around to hanging pictures is hanging them and then stepping back and realizing that they're not level. Never again with this Black and Decker BullsEye Auto-Leve...
If only this Runaway clock was invented when I was in high school, I probably would have passed biology the first time around. This clock is half-genius, half-novelty, and totally useful for us late-...
Finding a place for all your techno gadgets (cel phone, PDA, MP3 player, etc...) can be a challenge. One is by the bed, another on your desk, one by the door, etc... And It's especially hard, if your ...
