New 007 Tools of the Trade

In the movies good guys like James Bond look for bad guys like Odd Job. In the real world good guys spend lots of time avoiding odd jobs. However, if we had nifty gadgets as James Bond does, we'd be in there, too, mixing it up with the best of them. If you want to handle problems as pros do, start by peeking into their toolboxes. You'll find all sorts of neat gadgets and clever uses of many items that'll surely get you thinking. Pros often work in dark, tight places. As a result, many use a jeweler's visor as a hands-free headlamp. Some have magnifiers, too, for detail work. You'll find soft-jaw pliers that never leave a mark on gleaming chrome pipes and fittings. And a vast array of high-tech electronics such as an electronic leak alarm that signals water heater and undersink spills -- and prevents floods. When you're in a store, look around. There are lots of new gadgets. Then consider new uses for other new technologies; will kitchen gadgets help in the garage? Think like James Bond then go looking for odd jobs. And that's the On The House tip for today.
