I need tools that help me accomplish tasks without a lot of setup or having to haul multiple pieces to job sites.  That is why I like the Rockwell Jawhorse so much.  It has a built-in 1 ton clamp that eliminates the need for a second sawhorse or vice.  Plus the Jawhorse’s clamp is operated by a foot pedal leaving both hands free.  It folds down for easy transport, no tools needed.   Amazon has the Jawhorse on sale now with free shipping.

Like our culinary hero Alton Brown, we say, “Banish the Unitasker!” The Leatherman Multitools have been helping us do this for years. While silly useful, the design was never anything to gush about. No more! First introduced last year the Skeletool ($57.33) was simply wicked. Now its been updated. The Skeletool CX ($79.85) is wicked doubled. Stainless Steel construction with carbon fiber handle inserts and Tungsten DLC Scratch-resistant Coating plus a load of useful tools like a one hand opening blade, universal bit driver, needle nose pliers and wire cutters. All this, and it only weighs 5 onces. Buy one, now.
