Just read this article and thought some of you might find it interesting. I'm always looking for tools to make life easier. What's everyone's take? Any must-haves or gimmicks?

I skimmed it. Some of those are just overpriced toys. That auto-adjusting wrench? Gimmick. But the digital angle finder is legit, I've used one for years. Definitely recommend if you don't have one.

Yeah, I agree with Bob. The angle finder is solid. I was eyeing that laser level they included, but I already have a decent one. Also, that magnetic wristband looks handy for when I'm up on a ladder, but I don't know if it's a game-changer.

I'm all about that dust collection attachment for the drill. Beats holding a vacuum hose with your foot. But honestly, I can make something like that with a PVC pipe and some duct tape for cheap. Not spending $30 on that.

The digital calipers they mentioned? I've got one, best $20 I ever spent. But if you're just using it for rough measurements, the old analog ones work fine. I just like the precision when I'm fitting cabinet joints. That screwdriver set they showed looked nice, but I'm a bit picky about handles. Gotta have that cushioned grip.
