This is my list of must have remodeling tools that I have discovered over the years that make remodeling cleaner, safer, faster and just plain more fun! Affiliate links included. Since I am still dealing with the after effects of Poopmageddon, I though I would share my list of must have remodeling tools. I have […]

Impact drivers are amazing, but sometimes they can be tricky to use in tight spots. This new RIDGID 12-volt palm impact screwdriver uses a push-to-drive feature, so there is no trigger. Simply apply pressure and you’ve got power.
This tool is ideal for users who need access to hard to reach locations, such as under cabinets, behind furniture, and in electrical boxes. We use ours all the time for tasks around the home. We really like the compact size and dead-simple operation. The 12-volt battery lasts forever in the tool and we are very pleased with it’s overall performance.
The LED is another great feature as most tight spaces are poorly lit, and having a dark area illuminated makes a job much easier, and you are less likely to drop a screw.

Rolling tool totes are perfect for the pros and contractors who work on the go. Electricians have long recognized the value of easily rolling a heavy bag of tools versus carrying it from their truck to the job. We found the Husky 22-inch rolling tote to be much more versatile than we realized, as well as extremely durable.
The rolling tool tote features a heavy-duty telescoping handle and three rugged, steel-reinforced wheels for greater mobility. A fold-over rain flap and waterproof zipper help to keep water out of the main compartment, while the tote’s weather-resistant material offers additional all-around protection. With heavy-duty carrying handles, 38 storage pockets and four heavy-duty tape measure/pouch clips, this unit is built to handle all your storage needs on the job.
We used the tote to transport our automotive tools from our garage to our truck and use the tote as a portable tool box when going on overlanding trips or just weekends in the mountains. The 1680-denier, heavy duty and water-resistant exterior keeps our tools, maps, and gear protected from the elements. It’s 150 lb. weight capacity means I can throw in the biggest wrench I need without worrying about damaging the tote. 38 pockets also keep all of my tools from ending up in the bottom of the bag, so I can grab them at a moment’s notice.

Milwaukee Tool makes the ubiquitous Sawzall reciprocating saw. It’s become a standard demolition tool at jobsites around the world. But what good is a great recip saw if the blade you are using on it sucks? We recently joined Milwaukee at their plant in Mississippi to check out where their recip saw blades are made, including the awesome Ax carbide tooth blade.
Carbide teeth blades provide 30x longer life over standard bi-metal blades and 2x faster cutting. This more than makes up for the added cost of a carbide blade, and you don’t have to take the time to change them as often. The 5 TPI blade design allows for the fastest cutting in nail-embedded wood and a wide range of residential material.
Milwaukee Tool also prides itself on their Nail Guard and Fang Tip, which are two blade design features that allow the user to rip nails not teeth and make plunge cuts better than anyone. The Ax carbide blade is optimized for cordless recip saws, to get 25% more cuts per charge.

Milwaukee Tool has introduced the first 10-inch cordless miter saw. Aimed strictly at the remodeling and construction trade, this miter saw is powered by the new Fuel M18 9.0 high-capacity battery and promises nearly all-day run time. DIYers who have invested in the M18 battery platform can also benefit from this cordless tool.
Construction sites and house projects don’t always have AC power available, and lugging around a generator is not fun. This cordless miter saw runs on a single 18V battery and has all of the pro features and high quality you’d expect from Milwaukee Tool.
Designed with a POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, the M18 FUEL™ 10” Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw delivers a large 6” vertical and 2×12 horizontal capacity, giving users a solution to replace their corded miter saws. Utilizing the performance of the M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH DEMAND™ 9.0 Battery Pack, the new Miter Saw delivers up to 400 cuts and an entire day of work on one M18 pack.
This miter saw is available now from The Home Depot.

We took a little summer hiatus from our DIY Housewives series (well, I took a little hiatus from blogging in general), but we’re back! This month we’re bringing you 11 DIY outdoor & garden projects to inspire you for what’s left of the summer. If you’re not familiar with this series, I team up with 11 other bloggers each month to bring you projects from our archives which fit a specific monthly theme.
The project I’ve contributed this month is my DIY Faux Concrete Planter. I used FolkArt Painted Finishes for this project, which gives it an authentic concrete look. You can CLICK HERE to get the full tutorial.
Be sure to check out the rest of the DIY Housewives’ projects below!

Fair warning: This post might be even more gross than the last. I can’t tell any more. My gross meter has been maxed out since last Wednesday so I’m desensitized to it all. Well, the plumber came out and cleared the clogged drain line which was packed full of toilet paper. He then scoped the […]
