Fortunately Bob has a very well equipped workshop, and almost all the tools needed for the Kitchen Project. [Thanks Alan, for coming round with the worktop cutting tools and necessary expertise and lending the tile cutter] But there have been two items purchased which have proved really useful. Around 150 flat pack packages from IKEA needed opening.
This orca makes quick work of slitting tape and cardboard without injuring me or the products.
The second item is a helping hand
It is so useful when drilling holes in walls - the hose from the vacuum cleaner holds it in place as all the dirt and dust is sucked efficiently away. A genius idea, and it makes cleaning up so much easier. There are a number of adaptors included so it will fit different vacuum cleaners.
I can see both these gadgets being well used in the future.
Certain jobs get done better with the proper tools, don't they?

ReplyDeleteGlad to be of help!
DeleteI didn't realize the little cutter had a name. I have one and use it to open the mail each day. It's one of those small gadgets that makes quick and neat work of several chores, if I just stop to think of additional applications. I will now call on it for boxes. Brilliant! I learn so much from you, Ang.
ReplyDeleteWhat handy tools! I can see they save a lot of effort and frustration with a big project.
ReplyDeleteI do like the little whale safety cutter. Brilliant!
