One of the unsung heroes around the shop is our Cotterman 4 Step Rolling Ladder. Ok, great but why is the post about a Little Giant product? Don’t worry, I will get there….The beauty of this ladder are the 4 recessed casters that let you easily move it around. When you need to use it, just climb up. The ladder will automatically sink down and secure itself at floor level. The only real negatives to the product are cost and space. Units start around $400 and since it does not fold, the Cotterman is difficult to transport and takes up a lot space in the storage closet.
Because of those downsides the Little Giant could be a very good choice should we need a second ladder. Even at its largest, 4 step, configuration the Little Jumbo comes in at less than half the cost. Plus it collapses down to just 5 inches deep making storage and transport a snap. Additionally, the back legs have two casters that let you drag it around the work site while it is in its unfolded position. Finish up with a hand rail, small work tray, large rubberized treads and a 300 pounds capacity and it looks like a great choice to us.
Available in three sizes: 2 step/18 inches, 3 step/27 inches or 4 step/36 inches.

Filed firmly under you can never own too many screwdrivers…our current favorite is this Klein 10-in-1 model. Bit Includes: No. 2 Phillips with 1/4″ slotted, No. 1 Phillips with 3/16″ slotted, No. 15 Torx with No. 10 Torx, and No. 1 square with No. 2 square. The reversible bit holder also works as 1/4″ and 5/16″ nut driver. The rubber grip is a nice touch as well.
Traditional screw extractors work to remove stripped screws by grabbing the interior walls of the head. They work well as long as you have a large enough bit and the screw does not turn freely in the hole – the bit needs to friction to be able to bite into the screw to remove it.
Grabit work differently because they drill into the stem of the screw or bolt to remove it. This means that you can remove a screw even it the head is broken off. The 4 bits in the kit work with screws no. 4-24 including Phillips, Slotted, Hex, Trox, Tri-Wing,Pozidriv, Fearson, most tamper resistant screws and bolts no. 10 – 3/8-inch.

Looking for a great all-around saw for your tool box? This 12″ model by the Shark Corporation is about as good as it gets. It features a blade that works equally good on wood or plastic. The handle is ergonomically designed and allows for replacement blades that are flexible for flush cuts. We love the thin sharp blade for most any cutting task from plywood, to 2×4′s to PVC. If you like this one, Shark Corp makes a complete line of carpentry and finishing saws you should check out.

Mmm, destruction. I think everyone likes to do a little demo from time to time and the FuBar III is the perfect tool for it. Doubling as a forcible entry tool the bad ass crowbar is 30″ long and weighs just under 9 pounds and is perfectly balanced, making it excellent for prying, splitting, board bending & heavy striking jobs. The grip is textured for extra control plus Stanley has added a sledge hammer face and hydrant wrench with gas shut off.

Manual labor is never a favorite activity, but it does become a necessity from time to time so we love any tool that makes it easier to complete said task. The Stouts Backsaver is a simply addition to any hand tool that will help reduce back and shoulder strain. Just slip it on the handle, postion where comfortable and then tighten the screws to hold it in place. While movable from tool to tool, at just $8 we recommend picking up several.

Being a righty all my life, I never considered some the challenges my left handed friends encounter using tools. That is why I knew I had to post the Grizzly Left Hand Caliper when I saw it. All the same features of a standard caliper, expect orientated for lefties. Pretty cool.

This slick knife boasts multiple attacks. The 420 Stainless Steel blade separates to reveal a serrated edge on one side and power cutting shear on the other. The Fog Cutter’s blades have also been corrosion treated to prevent rust. The quick release sheath is included too.
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.
