Welcome to the Smart Stuff tools section with some of the world's smartest gadgets, inventions and ideas for toolbox and workshop.


A.B.C.

And now there appears to be three wheeled shovels.
Just spotted (A) on one of our favorite blogs, and that set the old memory in motion. It looked like a great ideas, but at the same time strangely familiar. After a bit of research in the dusty corners of Smart stuff HQ, it came back. Our post on wheeled snow shovels of January 2006 vintage. Back then we had found two different shovels, and we first thought the new one (A) was the same as (B). But it is not. (Compare the fastening of the handle.) Although no-one has been as bold as the Wovel (C), design (B) must have inspired someone to make their own and make it a little cheaper, too. B is still USD 60:-, and (A) is USD 45:-. [Via]

Tool for opening difficult packaging
Tool for opening difficult packaging.
Changed the ink cartridge in your printer lately? We did last Sunday, when three of the cartridges decided to quit at the same time. We would have loved one of these, then. We could hardly believe how theft proof they have made at least the Canon Photo-printer cartridges. Come to think of it, that is probably the idea. Theft proof, that is, to keep people from stealing the cartridges, and leave the empty (and alarm chipped) boxes behind in the store. Anyway, we had to work a bit to get into them without any tools. I such cases maybe a tool like this could be just the thing. It is called Zibra Open It and it is equipped to cut, slice, nip, screw and pinch. About everything you need to open modern packaging. It is available in different colors and it is USD 11:- on the Zibra website. [Via]

Nail holder saves fingers and curses.
The most fun with carpentry is wielding a powerful nail-gun. But there are of course moments when the good old hammer still is the best tool. And in those cases there is always the risk of accidentally hitting oneself on a finger or two. So, to avoid this, perhaps the Nail Assist (concept) may be just the thing. Place the nail in the holder, the holder against the wall, pull out and bang away. The holder will keep the nail against the wall, and protect your pinkies at the same time. Now, this method may be slightly slower than the more straight forward thumb-and-forfinger approach but if you are in the habit of hitting yourself... Design Michael Harris. [Via]

angle cutter

Angle cutter.
From now on, it will be easier to make nice and straight angles on. This tool is called the Ultimate Easy Cutter and it looks really simple, all right. Just set the desired angle (from seven pre chosen) and cut away. From Amazon at USD 23:40. [Via]
