Tools to Work on Ladders and in Other Difficult Places
When you’ve been working on a ladder, flat on your back underneath a car, or in any other difficult spot, you know how much difference it makes when you have your tools at hand. The MagnoGrip and the Autoloader screwdriver are two original products that can make your life easier while taking care of the next chore around the house.
Why It’s Clever
The Autoloader screwdriver is a well-thought-through industrial mechanical design that allows you to change bits without actually taking the bit out of the screwdriver. Imagine the loose bit falling from the ladder – for the third time. A pump action suffices to change a Phillips screwdriver into a flathead one and back. It contains six different bits to accommodate different types of screws.
The problem of screwdriver and bits being solved, now what about the screws? Sure, you can put some in your pocket, but you’ll still have to reach for them. That’s where the MagnoGrip comes in. More an example of out-of-the-box thinking than of complicated industrial design, the MagnoGrip is basically a magnetic wristband to which you can stick your screws, nails, needles, drill bits, or other iron stuff. Just pick a screw, almost without having to move your arms, stick it to the magnetic tip of the Autoloader, and off you go.
In case you’ve already chosen your Christmas presents, at least you’ll know what to buy for Father’s Day (or even Mother’s Day).
