    Cheap Handyman Tools to Make Your Life Easier

    August 11th, 2016

    It doesn't take a fortune or ton of experience to make everyday tasks easier and to live more comfortably, you just need these 10 handyman tools that you probably never thought of.

    1. Zip-it

      If your bathtub or kitchen sink is taking a longer than normal time to drain, this handy tool will venture down in your pipes for you and zip out all the leftover debris.

    2. Gorilla Step Ladder

      In between an extension ladder and a step ladder, a hybrid ladder is perfect for everyday duties and more. It is lightweight and comes with wider steps that keep you from wobbling and safe.

    3. Sugru Hacking Putt

      A Play-Doh that does two jobs-it's fun and fixes everything, from fixing your wobbly chair to your cracking charging cord. This putty will stick to aluminum, steel, ceramic, glass, wood, and even some fabrics and plastics.

    4. Portable Jump Starter

      Save yourself from your delayed tow truck and pulling your hair out, with a portable jump starter. It will allow you to restart your car in most situations all on your own and it even comes with an alarm that will warn you if you are doing it incorrectly.

    5. Bungee Cords

      Durable, colorful, useful-from attaching your water bottle to the back of your backpack to securing heavier objects to your car, it is a good idea to have these in a variety of sizes.

    6. Wrap- Fix Tape

      A powerful watertight tape to save you from your unexpected plumbing emergencies, before you decide to call a plumber.

    7. PocketMonkey

      Twelve functions packed into one millimeter of stainless steel, it multitasks as a phone kick stand to a bottle opener. It's the size of credit card, so you can easily carry it with you at all times without adding bulk or heft to your wallet or purse.

    8. CircSaw Circle Handsaw

      Like any average person, you probably don't need a huge saw. This handsaw is compact and folds in which protects both the teeth of the saw and your fingers.

    9. Cart Hand Truck

      With a cart hand truck you no longer need strong muscles and the ability to life to transport heavy boxes and other objects. Then when you are done you can fold it up and tuck it away.

    10. WD-40

      The most useful spray to protect and remove objects from squeaks, grimes, and rust.
