Here are some of the best home improvement tools you wouldn’t think to buy for yourself, but won’t know how you lived without. Bosch Laser Distance Measurer Miles ahead of your traditional tape measure, we love this pocket-sized tool for its accuracy and 165-foot range. It’s especially useful for contractors who bid by the square foot, or anyone who needs to quickly and accurately determine (to 1/16th inch) the size of a room. You can also sync it with a variety of Bosch measuring apps via Bluetooth, which makes this a must-have for us. WORX Universal Gutter Cleaning Kit Thinking ahead to warmer weather, why not spring for a tool that makes the most odious household chore, gutter cleaning, just a little easier? This gutter cleaning kit is designed to keep you on the ground, with a tube system that extends up to 11 feet. It fits most standard gas or electric leaf blowers so you can blast that gutter-clogging debris into next week. It works best on dry leaves but depending on the power of your blower, it can handle the damp stuff, too (word to the wise—wear some goggles). Dead On Annihilator Who doesn’t want to own a tool called the Annihilator? This is the ultimate wrecking bar and demolition tool—it’ll get you through your next remodel project and the impending zombie apocalypse without breaking a sweat. It hammers nails, straightens boards and even opens bottles after a long day of destruction. Its ax head is designed to shred through drywall and strip conduit, and it also has a built-in wrench for torque and chisel to get under tile. MagnoGrip Magnetic Wristband We’d all like to have more than two arms while we’re on the job, but these give you the next best thing. Instead of keeping your fasteners in your mouth while you’re hammering, you can use these comfortable and lightweight magnetic wristbands to keep screws, nails, nuts and bolts secure and at the ready. It’s equipped with super-strong magnets so you can even use it to hold small tools like wrenches until you’re ready to use them. Wagner PaintEATER If there’s something more mind-numbing than watching paint dry, it’s trying to scrape it off by hand. If you have a house that needs repainting and don’t want to spend days, you need a PaintEATER. It cuts through peeling paint in a fraction of the time but it’s gentle on wood, leaving a perfectly prepped surface that’s ready for priming. Paint adheres better with a more uniform coat, and it lasts longer, too. The only question now is what you’ll do with all your extra free time.
