THE HANDYMAN
Bernzomatic Utility Lighter

Bernzomatic Utility Lighter
Typical flame-aiming utility lighters' straight wands aren't great for small spaces, such as pilot lights. This one's bendy neck snakes into tight spots, keeping your hands out of the fire that it ignites.

Zircon 60277 I700 Multiscanner
As you scan for studs, the head pivots on its articulated arms to ensure that you're making solid contact with the wall. It also automatically boosts scan intensity if it detects that the studs are buried deep. $60

Cold Heat Pro Soldering Tool
The ceramic bit on this electric soldering iron will heat up or cool down within three seconds, so you can concentrate on melting metal, not avoiding melting your fingers. $30

Power Sentry Power Squid
It's a power strip minus the strip: Each of the five female sockets is attached to its own cord, so bulky plugs and adapters won't block other outlets. $15
