Holiday Guests Coming? Time to Clean with Rubbermaid Bathroom Tools $50 #Giveaway

by Tazim Damji

cleaning spraying scrubber

On a regular basis, I clean my bathroom to make it clean enough for myself —but does it pass the 'guest-test?' Whether it's for a special occasion or just having guests over, I definitely think about the state of my bathroom above any other room. I've been using Rubbermaid Bathroom Tools to make my bathroom more guest-friendly lately, as we get closer to the holidays, and will be putting the tools to the ultimate test right before I have company over. What areas of a bathroom should you focus ...

A Volume and Weight Scale — Deserted Island Kitchen # 8

by Greg

Escali Amana Scale

  At home we have nice thick metal measuring cups and spoons galore—they rattle around in our cupboards and drawers like a pocket-ful of change. But, just like all those pennies that you can never seem to spend, we hardly ever use them. Instead, we measure by weight: it makes it easy to double, halve, and quickly throw together, recipes from around the world. We couldn't live without our kitchen scale, which lives on our counter with an index card full of conversion factors taped to the ...

Heat Pro Deluxe II Heat Gun Review

by Tazim Damji

heatpro

One of the things that Tazim and I enjoy as designers is reusing and re-purposing things. Whether it's stripping and repainting kitchen cabinets, or bringing vintage classics back from a state of repair—there's little satisfaction to finding treasure in items you already own, or available at throw-away prices. But, like most satisfying things, refinishing furniture is hard work. Which is why we we're happy to have received this heat gun from HomeRight. The Heat Pro Deluxe II makes the job a ...

The Right Tools for the Job —Dremel Blades & Attachments

by Greg

If there's a problem with owning a Dremel, it's that getting attachments can become an addiction! I was never excited to get a new drill-bit (alright, I'll fess up to loving to buy the ones that go through concrete), but each time I pick up a new doohickey for the end of my Dremel, I feel like I'm adding a super-power to my toolbox. Recently, Tazim and I tried out a few new bits: A first party guard for the rotary tool, some new sanding and cutting disks with the easy release feature, and some ...

Gyros Tools—Gyros Guard and Accessory Kit Review

by Greg

A few weeks ago, we featured the Dremel Rotary Tool as part of our Father's Day Gift Guide. Shortly afterward, Tazim hooked me up with another bit of rotary tool kit: the Gyros Guard Rotary Tool Safety Shield, as well as one of their accessory ProPaks. Attaching to the end of the rotary tool, and working with nearly any screw-mount attachment, the Gyros Guide "Safety Shield" was at first a little fiddly to operate—however it significantly reduces the mess and spark that the cutting blades ...

Dremel 4000 High Speed Rotary Tool Kit Review

by Greg

The Dremel 4000 High Speed Rotary Tool Kit Performs Thousands of Functions on a Small Scale. As an apartment dweller, my tool-shed is both smaller than I'd like it to be, and messier than I'd like to admit. Crammed into a shelving unit in the storage closet is an astonishing array of wrenches, drills, screwdrivers and saws. They seem to proliferate while I'm not looking; but the reality is that I'm the handyman among our circle of friends, and whenever a new project comes up, I find in it ...
