B. Franklin™ Stud Detector В
While its rudimentary appearance might suggest otherwise, this is a remarkable stud sensor. Not only is it easy to use, but its readings are practically impossible to misinterpret. At 7Й wide, it covers a broad test area, with 13 sensors that independently scan up to 11/2Й below the surface. As soon as one of the sensors detects material of greater density than the surroundings, it shows the position by illuminating a red LED bulb. Wide enough to span most structural timbers, the LED array can indicate the full width of the stud, not just the edges, so finding center is simple – no need to sweep back and forth to outline the location. As well, unlike typical detectors, the sensors require no calibration before each use to prevent false readings; just place the unit against the wall and press the button for an instant reading. A reliable means to locate studs as well as floor joists or other hidden substructure behind drywall, wood, plywood, tile and acoustic tile, it even differentiates closely positioned studs, such as those around door and window frames. A low-friction backing glides smoothly over surfaces. Intuitive to use, it operates on two AA batteries (not included). An excellent tool. 88N87.10 Stud Detector $49.95

C. BrimLit™ В
Flashlights that clip to hat brims are popular because they provide handsfree illumination with all the comfort of your favorite hat. This version is made from flexible EVA foam that conforms to curved brims (even a worked-in baseball cap brim) and has two adjustable steel clips to fit various hat styles. A row of four powerful LEDs gives a broad field of illumination. Squeezing the center lets you choose between two light levels: a 14 lumen high setting for full-strength illumination (bright enough to read a book or a map) and an 8 lumen low setting that provides enough light to find your way while conserving battery life. The two included flat CR2032 batteries are good for 8 hours of continuous use on the high setting or 16 hours on the low setting, and are easily accessible for replacement. Measuring 61/2Й wide and 3/8Й thick, this light is so lightweight you’ll forget you’re wearing it. 68K06.80 BrimLit™ LED Hat Light $14.95

Each trap will hold 10 times that number and is effective for a month or more.

A. J.B. Lee’s Corn Cutter and Creamer
J.B. Lee, a Texan, invented this corn cutter in 1939 and his patent was issued in 1941. Since then, some 4 million of them have been sold and continue to enjoy a good market today. With some simple blade adjustments to accommodate the size of kernel being cut, it can be used either to cut whole kernels from the cob or to cut creamed corn, a process that clips the tops off kernels and makes two vertical cuts through the rest of the kernel. A scraper blade then extracts the kernel contents and strips the juice from the cob at the same time, leaving the kernel jackets still attached to the cob. Since many people have never heard of freshly creamed corn, a number of recipes using it are included. Whether cutting whole kernels or creamed corn, the cutter is effective and efficient. The 17ЙК21/4ЙК1/2Й frame is hardwood and the metal components are stainless steel. The simplest set-up for using the cutter is shown in the photo. 09A04.45 Corn Cutter and Creamer $11.50

Food Dehydrator Б Many fruits, vegetables, herbs and meats dry well. Using only 500 watts of electricity, this unit sends a warm flow of air over and through four stacking trays (included), each of which holds over 100 sq.in. of foodstuff. It is particularly effective for making lightweight snacks for camping or hiking, preserving berries in season, or reducing tomatoes to flavorful dried slices for easy storage. The thermostat adjusts from 95°F to 160°F (35°C to 71°C) to suit the food being dried; for example, herbs dry best at a lower temperature while jerky requires a higher temperature. The included smooth sheet lines a tray for making fruit rolls. Extra trays and fruit roll sheets are available to expand capacity (to a maximum of 12). The top-mounted motor ensures drips cannot fall into the motor housing. The dehydrator measures 131/2Й in diameter by 93/4Й high and comes with a manual full of recipes and detailed guidelines.

These are surprisingly effective serving tongs. Shaped much like a clamshell, they nest comfortably in the palm, securely grasping a portion of salad, pasta or hot food.

Wood stoves often burn too hot or too cool; the trick is getting it just right. This bi-metal thermometer removes the guesswork, helping avoid extremes that waste fuel or result in incomplete combustion and dangerous creosote build-up. Monitoring temperatures up to 450°C/900°F, it has a porcelain enamel-coated steel housing with an easy-to-read dial that indicates the optimum burn zone, and over-burn and creosote temperature ranges. The magnetic back and included safety wire secure it to a vertical single-wall stovepipe. WS701 Wood-Stove Thermometer $12.95 E.

This well-designed sharpener is compact, quick to set and about as straightforward to use as a pencil sharpener; just set the jig to the bar, position the pawl against a tooth, insert the burr through the guide bushing and crank the handle. To sharpen the next tooth, retract the burr, pull the chain forward and repeat the process; as you advance from tooth to tooth, the pawl acts as a stop to ensure accurate and repeatable tooth positioning. Results are predictable, and chain wear is kept to a minimum. About 3ЙК4ЙК21/2Й wide, the anodized aluminum jig comes with a removable crank handle and a set of guide bushings (for alternating right- and left-raked teeth) to sharpen at a standard 30° rake angle; a set of optional bushings for 25° and 35° is available separately. A soft-shell case (with nylon carrying straps and pockets for extra burrs and angle guides) is included.

A If you’ve ever experienced a blown fuse or a power outage when you are in your basement, garage, or anywhere lacking natural light, you know the value of having an emergency light that comes on right away. This light remains off when plugged into a 110V socket; when the power goes out, the spotlight instantly turns on, providing enough light to illuminate a stairway, fuse box, hallway or kitchen area. Handy for more than just power failures, it can also be used as a regular light when plugged into a socket, or an automatic night-light using the on/auto/off switch. It can also be unplugged from the wall for use as a spotlight. Both lamps can be rotated about 120° to aim the light where it’s needed. Each has six bright LED bulbs and the internal battery will last about 20 hours with both lamps in use, or about 48 hours with a single lamp. (Smaller rechargeable LED flashlights will last 6 to 15 hours depending on light setting.) The battery automatically recharges when power returns. The unit can be mounted on a wall with the included hardware or placed on a high shelf. Highimpact plastic case (51/2ЙК7ЙК21/2Й); for indoor use only.

Laser Measure The great value of this laser measure is that it gives you an almost instant measurement Laser beam is illustrative only. to any surface you can hit with a beam of light. More precise than using a measuring tape, it is effective over a much longer range*. Unlike a regular tape measure, you don’t have to worry about an end hook pulling free, struggling to make measurements while on a ladder, or guessing at an inside dimension by bending your tape into a corner. The measure performs addition and subtraction, calculates area and volume, and can even compute the distance between two points by triangulation, useful when you don’t have a direct line of sight. A stake-out function significantly speeds the layout of posts or piers; the measure lets you plot multiple positions at regular intervals, providing an audio signal when you are close to position. In continuous mode, it records the minimum and maximum distances to an opposite surface. The LCD screen displays metric (to 0.001m) and Imperial measurements (to 0.01И or 1/32Й), converts instantly between units, and has a backlight for use in low light conditions. An internal memory keeps track of the last 20 readings. The measure comes with a nylon belt pouch, and two AA batteries good for approximately 10,000 readings; the laser and device automatically shut off to conserve battery power. Dimensions are 13/8ЙК2ЙК43/4Й. Highly recommended. Stock is limited. 99W75.72 Laser Measure $79.00 * The range of the measure is 40m (roughly 131И). In favorable conditions, the accuracy is ±1.5mm (about 1/16Й) over the first 10m (32.8И). All laser measures have the potential for a small amount of deviation beyond a certain distance; the possible deviation for this measure is ±0.25mm/m (that’s about 1/100Й per 39.5Й!).

Veritas® Set-Up Blocks А Setting up machines in the shop can be C a frustrating and inaccurate undertaking. Tape measures and rulers are difficult to use when measuring gaps between curved bits and guide fences. B Worse, machines often require two hands to adjust, leaving nothing to hold the measuring tool. The Veritas set-up blocks help solve this problem. Simply place the appropriate block or combination of blocks between the fence and bit or blade and adjust accordingly. Accurate to within 0.002Й, the 2Й long anodized aluminum blocks are available in a primary set of five, as well as A two expansion sets. The set of five 1 1 1 1 3 includes /16Й, /8Й, /4Й, /2Й and /4Й thick blocks, plus a steel 1-2-3 block (so named for its 1ЙК2ЙК3Й size), accurate to within 0.0002Й! Combined, they stack from 1/16Й to 411/16Й in 1/16Й increments. As a supplement to the primary blocks, two expansion kits are available to simplify setting fine fractional measurements. The seven-piece expansion set includes 3/16Й, 5/16Й, 3/8Й, 7/16Й, 9/16Й, 5/8Й and 11/16Й sizes. Having the primary and seven-piece sets means you can work with the exact block size you need when working in 16ths up to 3/4Й; they can also reduce the number of blocks required when setting up larger combinations.
