Televator

Sometimes getting into the attic is just a pain, especially if the access is inside your house — try getting a ladder, say a 20-footer, into the room and positioned under the hatch.  You could solve the problem with an attic ladder built into the hatch, but most are more than four feet long.  However, the Televator, with a hatch measurement of just 22″ x 22″, allows you to place an attic access in even a fairly small closet.  Or install it anywhere, to increase the convenience of getting into the attic.

Expect to pay $175 for the 8′ version or $205 for the 10′ version.

The Snozzle cove-base adhesive nozzle attaches to your cove-base applicator — or “caulk gun” to the layman. It saves you time by covering more surface area in one pass, and it evenly distributes the glue for a well-bonded installation.

Great Product Names: The Scumbuster

Regardless of whether you give a damn about this product or what it does (or doesn’t) actually do, you’ve gotta love Black & Decker’s ballsy name for it: the ScumBuster. As far as I can tell, it’s some kind of battery-powered super-scrubber that spins various attachments to make cleaning the bathroom easier. Black & Decker claims a 25-30 minute runtime, and the box is chock-full of various extensions and attachments for scrubbing and rinsing.

But forget all that. It’s the ScumBuster, man. The ScumBuster.
