Prest-on Insta-backs Drywall Fasteners Review
We ran into Kirk Conville of Prest-on while walking around the International Builders Show. As soon as I saw their booth, where they were demoing (live) their Insta-back Drywall Fastener products, I was captured. Little did Kirk know that I had a project that perfectly matched his solution. You see, I had just installed a television mount overtop a fireplace – and I had done it incorrectly. As a result, I needed to make a drywall patch – and one that I had been dreading for some time. Looking at the Prest-on project, I was feeling a lot more confident, and downright excited to get started.
Milwaukee M18 Cordless 3/8″ Right Angle Drill Driver Preview

CEL Multi2PRO MT1 Cordless Multi-Tool Review
There are now over a dozen oscillating multi-tools on the market, which begs the question: which one do I buy? What we’re finding, especially thanks to universal accessory adapters now coming to market, is that they all cut basically the same – provided you are comparing them using the same blade. What that leaves is features, price, and of course, rugged build quality and ergonomics. CEL’s Multi2PRO has some nice features that make it stand out, and it’s an easy tool to use, so it fits nicely into the mix of oscillating multi-tools and provides the company with a competitive product with which to round out their product line. We tested the CEL Power8 Workshop all-in-one compact benchtop tool earlier last year and we’d rank the Multi2PRO in the same category. If you’re looking for an inexpensive multi-tool with decent features, CEL has something that’s at least worth a second look.
Benchmade 550HG Griptilian AXIS Locking Mechanism Knife Review
The Benchmade 550HG Griptilian Manual Lock Knife may come across as minimalist pocket knife to some but after spending some quality time with the tool, there are actually numerous features that make this knife a great choice for everyday carry. With an extremely gripable handle (hence its name), high quality hollow ground blade and a super safe, yet easy to use, locking mechanism, the Griptilian is a great performer.
