(ARA) - Is there someone on your holiday list who thrives on home improvement projects? Chances are, your favorite handyperson is always eager for a new tool.
The tool experts at www.rockler.com offer the following suggestions to fill the stocking (and warm the heart) of every handyperson on your list:
* Something as simple and basic as a pencil can be a great stocking stuffer. The Cabinetmaker’s pencil set features a sharpener to keep the point precise. Extra large lead prevents breakage and a belt clip ensures it’s never misplaced. For under $7, it comes packaged with extra lead, an eraser and a 3-inch reference rule.
* Banish bare walls forever with the Right Height Picture Hanger. This hanger takes all the guesswork out of hanging and grouping pictures, and makes unnecessary holes a thing of the past. A sliding hook on the hanger adjusts vertically and horizontally for perfect positioning. It’s another perfect stocking stuffer for the decorator on your list.
* Free up more time for your project when you use the rockler.com Woodworker’s Pocket Reference guide. Its convenient size means you will have it on you or near you right when you need it. The “at-a-glance” format provides quick information on subjects like wood, shop math and formulas, shop set-ups and safety tips.
* Safety glasses are a necessity for home improvement projects. The latest thing in safety glasses features LED lights, attached to either side of the glasses that free up your hands. It’s a unique and practical gift for any homeowner.
* Whether you’re assembling a furniture kit or crafting a project from wood, you’ll need to make certain you have solid 90-degree angles. The Mini Clamp-It (TM) Assembly Square Kit is the perfect tool for assembling small projects when only one set of hands is available. Align it, clamp it and fasten it to get perfect 90-degree angles every time.
* Maybe someone on your list would enjoy taking on more challenging woodworking projects. The gift of an Incra Jig lets both novice and skilled woodworkers produce a finely crafted box with beautiful joinery on the router table. Simply set the Incra jig to the color-coded reference marks and make your cuts. No math, no measurements and no complicated setups are required. The Incra jig easily creates detailed joints such as dovetails and double dovetails with precision. An added bonus is the free one-hour instructional DVD and joint-making templates.
* Most of us would love to see our name in lights, but how about in wood? The Turnlock Signcrafter System (TM) includes everything you need to create beautiful signs with your router. It’s a fun and easy way to create personalized signs for friends and family. The Signcrafter System lets you easily mount or dismount your router in seconds without tools. The system includes a bit and 164 letter and number templates.
