Home Hand Tools Tips:

Ever have a picture around the home fall because the holes behind it gave out. How about a lock plate on your door that will no longer keep the door safely locked because either someone tried to push it in or theres been too many slams over the years.


Here’s a couple tips: For those who may not know there is plastic inserts at your local hardware store which will fit most common screw holes. When inserted in the hole they expand and grip when the screw is re-inserted repairing the striped out hole no major hand tools required.

Here’s another trick and doesn’t require leaving home. Get some wooden matchsticks or tooth picks or any small sliver of wood then use any wood glue and shoot some of it into the stripped out hole, insert the wood then re-insert the screw.

Draw Shave Hand Tool

The Draw Shave or Draw Knife is a hand tool used to remove bark from logs. The name was first used about 400 years ago. The tool it self is still used in the home today by wood workers craftsman and hobbyists.

The hand tools found at this website has ¼” thick x 1-15/16” wide blade 8” long with 25 Degree blade. The tool itself has a blade in the center with wood handles on both sides. The hand tool is pulled by hand toward the person using it. Other uses in the home might be for art to shave clay or wax as well as wood. These Tools are also used for pre shaping wood to be turned on a wood lathe.

The one at DMSeeleys tools has a polished blade with the real wood handles 17” across the handle tips at the widest point and comes with a rubber blade sheath.

On an interesting point I once had a buyer tell me he was going to make canes with his draw shave and sell them. Only the users will think of all the possible uses for these tools.

Best to your cuts.

Home Hand Tools

Ideal for the home is the 4 in one hand truck. Whats nice about this one is its not real big but can still handle 200 lbs and fits easily in most autos trunks. I use mine for postal runs. Its also very light weight and the handle can be removed to make it even smaller.

The Hand cart is of all steel construction. Reinforced design toe plate, solid rubber tires with steel rims, solid rubber swivel casters and is adjustable in height in vertical position with safety locking pins. A very handy tool for the home.

This cart is a very versatile tool it can be used as a 4 wheel flat roll for large loads or a flat bed hand truck with access to the handle. It also can be used as a two wheel Garbage bag retainer to haul outside debris around your home as well as the more conventional hand truck.

I can recommend this hand truck as a real back saver when dealing with those extra work loads around the home or hauling things on the run, an inexpensive multi solution and Handy Tool found at http://www.dmseeleystools.com/.

Best to hauling those loads.
