Computer design has brought hand/power tools (used in different trades and by the average homeowner) and other home improvement materials such as fastening systems..bolts, nuts, washers, screws into the high-tech era! In the mid-1950s when I was young, my Dad started buying power and hand tools that were heavy cast aluminum, noisy, and not very safe. Growing up, Dad passed those old tools on to me. I kept using them and wondered why I wasn't getting the quality I needed. Now I could be a tool addict and buy every thing that comes down the pike, but I choose to purchase what I need and not what I want. Here are some tips that will help find hand and power tools, whether you work in a trade or are puttering around the house, in addition to the appropriate home improvement and repair supplies.

Razor Knives [VIDEO]
 I take a look at a type of utility knife that contains a long, segmented blade which slides in and out. As the endmost edge becomes dull, it can be snapped off from the rest of the blade, exposing the next section which is sharp and ready for use! This design was introduced by OLFA® in 1956. In the U.K., it is called a wallpaper knife.

An automatic wire stripper simultaneously grips the wire from one side and cuts and removes the insulation from the other. I'll show you how easy it is to use this tool.
