Screwdrivers are wonderful tools. The issue I have with some screwdrivers is that I can’t quite get it to fit where it needs to go. This is increasingly frustrating when working in small spaces, especially behind your desk! Well, now you can see a little better using this Spot On Screwdriver from HardToFindTools.com.

The Spot On Screwdriver has an LED light built into the end of it! This is the solution for the professional or hobbyist needing more then the available light to get the job done. Especially when you dont have an extra hand! Push the button and the light shines brightly on this work tool! A long lasting LED spotlight is built into the bit tip permitting you to locate the screw head in dark places. This premium, patent-pending screwdriver also features a contoured sure grip handle for comfort and maximum torque. Hardened and tempered vanadium blade is 4” inches in length. A must tool for automotive, electronic, appliance repair or work with small engines.

For only $24.95, this is a great deal. Having this frees up a hand, by not needing a separate flashlight. Anything that makes life easier for me is something I need, for sure.

Did you know there’s such a thing as a cordless saw? I had no idea until I started looking around our Tool King section. I’m starting to take that home improvement thing seriously. Yeah, I know about cordless drills and… what the hell is Lincoln Lubrication!? Chicago Pneumatic – wasn’t that a drama series on NBC? Why doesn’t someone create a comprehensive list of “must have” tools for the average home owner? Ya know, tools that won’t cost me an arm and a leg (or remove them if used improperly). I’ve got a cordless drill with a handful of bits, a screwdriver set, a computer repair kit, a big-ass Black and Decker tool kit, laser level kit, and other assorted handheld goodies. Which brands should we trust – and which ones should we avoid? Actually, I bet Black and Decker isn’t good because it’s so readily available (that’s just a guess). Is DeWalt any good? I mean, honestly – how can you tell?

So, if one wanted to take home improvement into his or her own hands, where should one begin to look for help online? I really want to become my own handyman, if only because I’d rather “DIY” than wait around for someone else to do it for me. I can change light bulbs like none other, but beyond that – I’m useless. Awl I know is that I need to start collecting simple tutorials for common problems around the house. Let the link love begin!
