I double the tip for the nailjacks. I got an order a month ago. It’s a new invention that changes the rules for pulling nails. nailjack.com has small videos.

Might I suggest the NailJack, available at Amazon. It’s a very unique tool designed for pulling nails out of wood and allowing re use of the wood. Go green and give the NailJack as gift, this father’s day.

Believe it or not I do see a couple of items on that list that Hubby still needs. Though he has done framing and cabinets work for many years now. It takes time to acquire a good set of tools that you love. Thanks for the list.

I’d suggest adding Purdy’s Cageless Roller Frame.

This frame allows you to swap out roller-cover frames on the fly, so that you can quickly and easily move from one painting project to the next.

I found out more about the frames on the Purdy website at http://www.purdycorp.com/catalog/frames/detail/16.

You can find out where to buy Purdy products there as well.

From the 'forgot' category:
- chalk line
- levels: torpedo, 2' and if you're doing any framing or installing windows or doors, a 4'.

And especially useful for plumbing (to make sure you've got solder all the way around a joint), but useful for all sorts of fixing projects: a small dental-style mirror. Something like this, though a smaller round one is easier to get into small spaces.
