GreenWorks Drill Driver/Impact Driver Combo Kit

[Scroll down to view product info]

Whether you're a professional contractor or just someone that enjoys doing his/her own home repair around the house, good tools are always essential to make what you're doing easier and also safer. It's a good thing Costco has the GreenWorks Drill Driver/Impact Driver Combo Kit available for your diy (do-it-yourself) projects. It's a great addition to your toolbox. It comes with both a drill driver and impact driver. You're probably wondering why have both when a good drill is sufficient enough. Well yes, a drill is indeed good enough for most smaller projects and for general use. But if you're going to be doing a lot of drilling and driving, then you'll want to invest in an impact driver which provides more force when driving screws and bolts into pre-drilled holes. That and you don't have to go through the tedious task of constantly changing the drill bit of the drill to make a hole and then change it again to insert the screw. That can be a hassle when you're going to be doing a lot of drilling many holes and putting in a screw in them. You'll definitely want a separate drill and impact driver.

WaterRidge Pull-out Kitchen Faucet

[Scroll down to view product info]

When we were renovating our kitchen, the faucet was one of the many items we needed to replace. If I knew that Costco carried faucets, I would have stopped by to grab the Water Ridge Pull-out Kitchen Faucet. I instead opted to buy at a specialty kitchen shop with, of course, charges a lot more for comparable products. The WaterRidge Pull-out Kitchen Faucet has a nice nickel finish would go great with the other hardware that we have in our kitchen. One thing to note is that this faucet does not seem to have a high arch which could be a problem when washing dishes as you may not have enough clearance between the bottom of the sink and the faucet. Fortunately, we have a deep sink so that is not too much of a concern. I like the fact that it is versatile in that it can fit sinks with up to 4 holes. I’m not a fan of using the deck plate since I like a cleaner, simpler look. But it’s good that the WaterRidge Pull-out Kitchen Faucet gives you that option. I also prefer the single lever handle..it is a lot easier to control compared to a faucet with dual controls. So during your kitchen renovation, consider stopping by Costco and grabbing the Water Ridge Pull-out Kitchen Faucet

Cosco 3 Step Stool

[Scroll down to view product info]

Every household should have some sort of ladder like the Little Giant Megamax Ladder for those hard to reach areas. But more often you will need just a slight boost rather than a ladder that will take you 15 feet up. That’s where the Cosco 3 Step Stool comes in. It’s significantly lighter in weight and is therefore easier to carry around from one part of your house to another. Although light, it has a weight capacity of 250 lbs so it should accommodate most people’s needs. This step ladder has many uses like when reaching that high cabinet or changing a light bulb. When folded, it takes up little space so storage is no problem at all. And the highest step is actually a platform with a slip-resistant material so you can have a sense of security that you won’t be falling off the ladder. We keep our Cosco 3 Step Stool in a hallway closet because we use it so often around the house. It was useful when we were hanging pictures throughout our living room and dining room walls.

Little Giant Megamax M17 Aluminum Ladder

[Scroll down to view product info]

If you’re like me then you probably have a lot of home projects that you just haven’t been able to get around to doing. You have the tools but do you have an adequate ladder that can get you high enough to work on the roof yet small enough to work indoors? That’s where the Little Giant Megamax Ladder from Costco comes in. It is very versatile; can work as a 4-foot step ladder or grow to be a 15-foot extension ladder. Another cool feature is that both sides of the ladder are telescopic so you can work along a staircase, normally pretty dangerous for other types of ladders. If you want to work alongside a wall, most ladders would be positioned where you are still too far from the wall, having to reach over to the wall just to get some work done. You can lean a ladder against the wall but the ladder can slip at the bottom. With the Little Giant Megamax Ladder, it can act as a 90-degree step ladder so you can feel safe that it has proper support while you are on it. The Little Giant Megamax Ladder also comes with a wheel kit so you can easily wheel it to your work area. Every garage should have several ladders of varying heights. But why buy several if you can buy one Little Giant Megamax Ladder that can do multiple jobs.

Little Giant Megamax Ladder – works as a step ladder, extension ladder and scaffolding system.

Little Giant Megamax Ladder – The MegaMax combines the strength, safety, and versatility of the classic Little Giant Ladder with several new groundbreaking features, including accessory portals and the AirDeck tool tray and safety handrail. The safety handrail gives you an added sense of security on the ladder; it can even prevent that shaky, uncertain feeling of vertigo you get when working at the top of a stepladder. Each side of the MegaMax telescopes independently, giving you the option of several sizes of stepladders, from 4 to 7 feet. You can also adjust one side to work on staircases and uneven surfaces, or as a 90-degree stepladder. The Triple-Locking Hinge allows you to use the ladder as a stable, wide-based, multi-height extension ladder. Finally, the inner and outer ladder assemblies separate to form two trestles for a time-saving scaffolding system. Just add a sturdy plank or an optional aluminum telescoping plank. The Little Giant MegaMax is the next generation of multi-use ladder systems.

    Key Features:
  • 24 ladders in one
  • Air deck with hand rail and wheel kit included
  • 15-foot reach
  • ANSI and OSHA compliant
  • Min Step ladder height: 4 ft.
  • Max Step ladder height: 7 ft.

Precision Sensors Professional Stud Finder Profinder 5000

[Scroll down to view product info]

Take the guess work out of finding studs and beams using the Precision Sensors Professional Stud Finder Profinder 5000. I bought this stud finder because the old Stanley digital stud finder I had didn’t give me a good enough indication of objects behind my wall. Sometimes I would drill and realize there was nothing there but drywall! I got fed up with this and opted for the Precision Sensors Professional Stud Finder Profinder 5000. This thing is wide enough that it can detect multiple studs at the same time. It even shows you the width of the stud. I like the fact that you don’t have to slide the finder along the wall thanks to the always-on deep scanning technology. This helps in making DIY work go quick and easy.
