Cool Tools
« on: July 23, 2020, 01:34:40 PM »
I started listening to the "Cool Tools" podcast, where guests talk about their three favorite tools. Tools can be anything. Tech, Hardware, Books, Podcasts, or anything. I wanted to start something like that here, where we can help each other find our favorite things.

Is #1 worth the price over similar items priced at less than half?

I got this on another recommendation, and it has worked nicely for me. I cannot speak about the others i do not know about.

How does it work, I'm assuming there is no batteries?

You hit it with a hammer.

Link is not working for me.
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zenith-Trim-Puller-Multi-Tool-for-Baseboard-Molding-Siding-and-Flooring-Removal-Remodeling-ZN700002/206509569

 Had to put new vinyl flooring, and didn't want to add/nail quarter of an inch round moldings on the bottom so decided to take off the base moldings.

 The moldings usually break and get damaged while trying to remove it.

  This tool was worth every penny.

 I finished the flooring and took some finishing nails with a compressed air tank and had the moldings back on within 5 minutes.

 There's legit a tool for every job.

It is just for breaking loose stuck screws. You hit it with a hammer. You want to use it originally before the screw head gets messed up.
