Save your thumb from some pain and lower your stress level by about 200 percent. This is one of those products you look at and say, “I could’ve made that.”
A small groove with a magnet in it holds the fastener so you can hammer away, while keeping your thumb out of harm’s way. FW Tools currently packages a standard and a mini size ThumbSaver together for about $20.

Looking to startle house guests — or impress Toolmonger friends hanging out in the kitchen instead of the shop? If so, you’re likely the target market for the possibly-vaporware Pizza-Pro 3000. And before you ask: No, it’s not motorized. (Though we imagine a little time in the shop could fix this, erm, design flaw.)
Offered along with dozens of other not-yet-available products on the WorldWideFred website, this appears to be simply a molded plastic circ saw shape attached to the top of a standard.

On a backpacking trip across one of the dicier parts of Southeast Asia, I worried about being robbed; every other traveller I talked to had had something stolen from them, often while they were sleeping. So every night before going to sleep in my rented rooms, I spent ten minutes constructing a precariously balanced pyramid of empty beer bottles in front of the door, an improvised burglar alarm I hoped a thief would noisily topple upon entering.
I sure wish I'd had one of these, a Wedge Alarm. The diminutive device is easy to pack, fits under a door and lets out a shrieking alarm when tripped. Beats having to finish three to five beers before bedtime just to build a security system.
