Organizing tools seems like a job that has no end. Last week I was at it once again! Organizing all the mess I had in the garage and getting it ready for my next projects was, in itself, a big win, but I also took the time to take pics of these five tools that I wanted to highlight and recommend to you on this post.

Sometimes we don't even know there's a tool for certain job and on the other hand, there're so many other tools that we know exist and we use them all the time, but we usually don't have idea of all the capabilities packed in those tools.
Well, I'm here highlighting these five tools. Some might be new to you, while for others, you might find interesting facts you didn't know about. They all are wonderful tools that you or the handy person in your life might love to have in their collection.

Let's check them out:

1. BOSCH GLM 50 CX Laser Measure


A few of the Bosch GLM 50 Laser Measure are:

• Real time measurement - Length, area and volume measurement with accuracy of 1/16 in.
• Indirect measurement -  for measurements that can't be measure directly because an obstacle is obstructing the laser beam.
• Stake out function - Used to repeatedly measure a predefined length.
• Wall surface measurement - Used to determine the sum of several individual surfaces which all have same height. Like when you want to determine the surface area of many walls to be painted in order to know how much paint to buy.
• Memory function - The last 30 measurements are automatically stored.
• Level function.

• The Bosch GLM 50 CX offers a backlit color display with large numbers to easily see measurements, letters and words to provide simplicity when using its array of features.
• Default real time measurement shows distances move in relation to target
• The GLM 50 CX offers Bluetooth functionality, so you can digitally transfer measurements to a smatphone or tablet.
• Overall range is 165-ft.
• Bluetooth functionality.
• Free GLM measure and document app allows you to overlay your measurements onto photos.

2. RYOBI 18-Volt ONE+ Cordless Bolt Cutters

If you're constantly reaching out to your 14" manual bolt cutters, then, you need this! The new Ryobi CORDLESS bolt cutters, which means cutting through those bolts is going to be much easier for now on.

3. Husky Multi-Use LED Utility Lights

I was one of those who laughed at someone owning utility lights (the husband). Well, that was until I had to use them because the cell phone light was not enough.

Yes, the cellphone light is the one I use for many tasks, but when I'm doing something that requires hands on action and really bad light setting, it's always good to have a good set of utility lights so you can concentrate on the problem you're trying to fix not how to hold that phone!

I used them here when adding insulation to the walls on the attic behind the bathroom.

• Great for working on dark, tight spaces.
• Bright LED light to illuminate really well dark spaces.
• Hands free use.
• High and low light illumination.
• Lifetime warranty with no questions, no receipt required.

4. DIABLO TOOLS - Blades

If you have a circular saw or reciprocating saw, most probably you have the blades to use with each of these tools.  And you know that you need to use the specific blade for the kind of material you want to cut through.
However, you might not know that how each blade is constructed plays a big roll in how well it performs.

Well, let me show you this small video, where Diablo blades were put to the test against their competitor's:
