DIY TECH<br />
LEATHERMAN TREAD<br />
Anytime, anywhere. (I thought<br />
that was Martini), multiple<br />
tools in each 17-4 stainless steel<br />
bracelet link, making usable tools<br />
like Allen wrenches, screwdrivers<br />
and box wrenches available at<br />
a moment’s notice. Adjustable to<br />
accommodate any wrist size and fully<br />
customizable with the links you need most.<br />
Better remember to take it off before<br />
going to the airport at £159 you don’t want<br />
it confiscated.<br />

I was summoned to the<br />
garden this summer “Build<br />
me a deck” she said. I’m<br />
chuffed to say I managed<br />
to complete it just before<br />
the heavens opened for<br />
the gazillionth time too -<br />
so it’ll be ready to use in<br />
the spring. Now that the<br />
autumn is upon us, I’ll no<br />
doubt be given a quota of<br />
jobs to finish around the<br />
house. But, as I’ve said to<br />
her before - “There’s no<br />
need to remind me every<br />
six months or so - I’m on<br />
it already”.. Truth is, I’m<br />
actually holding out for a<br />
while as I’ve seen some very<br />
handy gadgets which I am<br />
sure will help me get these<br />
jobs done a little bit sooner.<br />
So, without abusing my<br />
column space... “Darling -<br />
only 15 weeks to<br />
go until...”<br />
UNIVERSAL SOCKET<br />
Every tool box should have<br />
one of these. Struggling to<br />
find that 13mm socket and<br />
the 12mm will not hammer<br />
on. Reach for the universal<br />
socket. Great stocking<br />
filler. Cheap as chips from<br />
screwfix :)<br />
LASER SPIRIT LEVEL<br />
Banish the wonky shelves and get the picture<br />
frames the same height all around the room -<br />
They cost about £15 for a small one.<br />
QUADSAW - this is genius!<br />
<strong>Eye</strong><br />
GEEK<br />
Loves<br />
It’s pretty amazing how long it takes to cut a square<br />
hole. Find the pencil, grab the square, mark the wall and<br />
begin the cut. That’s probably 3-5 minutes per square,<br />
depending on how much skill you have. What if you<br />
could just press a square to the wall and begin cutting?<br />
That’s essentially how the new Quadsaw works. This<br />
bad boy has 4 different saws that make up a square.<br />
They cut simultaneously providing you with a nice clean<br />
square. It’s a brand new product from a UK company<br />
(hurrah) and the chaps behind it are now taking preorders<br />
at £199 (Hopefully with shipping before the<br />
end of the year), though this is yet to be confirmed...<br />
Definitely worth visiting their website and registering<br />
your interest if nothing else! www.quadsaw.com<br />
