First out the tool bag is the insta hang a easy and efficient way to hang just about anything in seconds
Wait can't you already do that?, It comes in a dazzling 47 piece set and each peg can hold up to ten pounds
So there's no reason to keep anything on your floor anymore.(yerp) after cutting open the packaging
we've got the device itself as well as a ton of pegs caps and hooks if you flip the
Packaging over on the back. You'll find some directions to get the insta hang go
The unit is primarily of plastic design with a silver
Plunger at the top that you'll use to drive the pig into the surface
There's also a small bubble underneath to ensure that your anchors are level to start loading it up slide the black
topper backward you'll reveal four pegs to place your hooks on give the rear a
Slight half turn and the sliding spring should come right out
Next just load your clip and replace the springs really just a three step process
Picket pack it fire it up. Come along hang a picture on my wall
all you've got to do is choose your mark hold the unit against the wall and after making sure it's level give the plunger a
Hefty tap as you can see hanging a few paintings from the local talent can be done in mere moments
We do want to mention that the insta hang doesn't only work well on drywall
Take this outdoor pillar for example after lining it up and given it a good smack
Our pig becomes a permanent fixture
Ready to display all of our finest art with everything said and done the insta. Hang does work
It's a quick way to ensure a level hang and it works fairly well on multiple surfaces
unfortunately, thumbtacks and nails are already a thing and you could easily just use those instead of these similarly shaped pay at a
Fraction of the price. So unless you're looking to do some rapid-fire thumbtack and action
you're probably good with what you've got in your junk drawer already greased up and ready for a good time is the
sportsman pocket chainsaw for when you want to tackle some light logging on the go but without the
complications of modern machinery(HE-MAN) our treasure came wrapped in a beautifully designed cardboard chest with a picture of
Bullwinkle off cracking it open we've got a fashionable belt pouch as well as a small bag containing a bonus fire starter
Inside the pouch is another bag containing the saw compactly wrapped and ready for use first impression
It's lightweight yet sturdy other than the nylon handles at each end
It's constructed very similarly to a traditional chainsaw while working out our kinks
We notice there weren't as many saw blades as we had expected initially nor do they look particularly sharp?
But let's give this a try on some forestry behind the householdhacker laier grabbing each handle and going in a smooth
But steady back-and-forth motion, you should be able to work right through anything that gets in its path
Surprisingly even thicker branches were no match for the raw power of these crazy
Back-and-forth dance moves the outer layers shed almost immediately in the entire process is much more painless than you'd expect
That being said the chain did manage to get itself stuck in just a couple of our tests
This is easily fixed
But you would want to be careful because the friction you're creating will make the chain quite hot now that we've tested the blades
Let's cut open this watermelon to pull them off a bit
Just place your fruit right on the table and sneakily wrap your blade around it
Once it's positioned to give it a hearty pull this may take a few tries, but you'll be left with a nice
cleanly cut watermelon and of course a
picnic to remember this method also works great on a bottle of water if your lids stuck just slide the
Chainsaw around the midsection and give it a Yank you'll know you are
Successful if you end up with most of the water on your clothes, in fact the pocket chainsaw works
Well on any fruits or vegetables dare enter your domain all in all these sports been pocket chainsaw really surprised us in a good way
Recommend it to you. Not only is it easy to use but it's compact enough to put in your camping pack
Unfortunately, it's hard to find this thing in most stores
So if you're planning on doing a little logging you'll probably have to head to the Amazon. Did I just polish my grapple? Nope?
It's the tack tool in as-seen-on-tv
Multi-tool that houses 18 tools in one. Let's bust it out and see what it's made of inside the packaging
We've got the multi-tool instructions in the all-too-familiar
arbitration agreement as well as another sweet addition to our utility belt the tack tool has a decent weight to it and it feels
Reliable a small clasp on the bottom
Transforms it from hammer to wrench with the sharp edge tools and screwdriver concealed safely away
The pouch makes no such guarantees
however
As the majority of the tool fits directly
Inside but leaves the pointy claws sticking out and ring nails is a non-issue for the tactful and removing them is just as quick
Not so much when it comes to the screwdriver left
It requires a very steady hand or it wants to repeatedly fold back into its base
The blade within managed to slice this tomato with no issues looks gorgeous
The branch saw was also very sharp
Although it really wanted to get stuck in the center of the branch during this process
We noticed that using any of the interior objects
you'll have to
Constantly be aware of the hammer o'clock is it'll sneak out and poke you in the wrist if you're not wearing gloves when?
Opening it up to test the wire cutter
We discover that this thing is more
appropriate for wire
Stripping than cutting as it wouldn't even get through this thin cord to the lack of a sharp edge on the cutter itself
giving it a go on some speaker wire was also a poor attempt which is why we've demoted it from cutter to crimper when it
Comes down to it. This thing isn't bad
If you're in a pinch or just need a couple tools to take with you the tack tool could be for you
But if you expect every option to be a grand slam really setting yourself up for disappointment
The Magno grip is not only a magnetic fashion statement
But it's also a pocketless tool holder to allow you to forego the need of a helping hand getting in that packaging this
Nylon bracelet is well-made and rugged but not heavy at all opening the velcro
Fastener you can see that this strap is a one size fits all situation and it has plenty of room to spare after
Slapping the wrist with a handful of screws the Magno grip seems to be in working order
Except for the nail that was dropped as a booby trap to see how it performs when things get shaken
We overloaded the wristband with a handful of about 18 nails. Although we did lose about 6 here
It's doubtful that you'd be shaking it all about or have that many with you in the first place
It's almost like having a personal assistant
Keeping everything handy without searching for that elusive screw in your pocket to give you a real measure of the magnet strength
We peg the strap to a post and grab anything nearby
Scissors are no problem, but larger heavy tools won't stand a chance
surprisingly the tack tool is an ideal weight to hang on for dear life with and it could still be the
Multi-purpose miracle that you've been longing for as far as we're concerned
Magno grip is a welcome addition to any project having a wristband that securely stores your nails and screws is great
It's sure to make any project go that much smoother and speaking of smooth projects

Straightforward list of our videos while also providing a way to get a hold of us
the editor is an absolute dream to use allow me to quickly menu items which also
Automatically created a new page for me

Latest video and then have an automated video feed directly under Wix already had a system in place to do just that
simply added a few householdhacker

I was able to put my featured content piece at the top resize it appropriately and even add some shadow for emphasis
Directly under that I wanted to put the rest of the videos
