AngLevel

Slick indeed. You’ve probably never heard of the AngLevel, yet alone seen it. It’s a rather new invention (yes, people still invent stuff these days) that was thought-up right here in the good ol’ USA. One of the inventors of this product (it’s a two-brother team) actually sent me this tool and [...]

Chalk Hog 100

The Chalk Hog is used for marking lines at the “snap” of a string.

This is a large marking tool — thus the “Hog” in the name — and is made of a seemingly durable plastic case. A few metal parts accompany the tool — found in the sharpener (for a carpenters pencil), the reel [...]

Superpencil

About as basic a function as every woodworking & DIY project will need … marking measurements and jotting down notes.

None are built better [...]

Miller Dowel System

The Miller Dowels are designed to create solid joints in wood.
Both the stepped drill bit (TruFit) and the wooden dowels are well-made. The stepped bit is made from HSS (High Speed Steel) and if taken care of will last a long time while providing superior performance.
Interesting indeed, the Miller Dowel is a dowel system [...]

Picking up a pair of these pliers one is immediately reminded [...]
