Pros call these “hooker hooks” or just “hookers” for short; they’re little Tetris-piece-looking hooks that hold a section of countertop in place while you’re cutting it out. Without ‘em, the piece would fall through and jack up your cut. With ‘em, you’re golden.
FastCap makes some pretty decent adhesive for attaching laminates and veneers. But what’s really interesting is that they offer it in a tape form as well. It’s like double-sided tape; you just apply the tape to the substrate, peel off the backing, and apply your laminate or veneer. The tape assures even and thorough coverage — with no overspray.
We seem to be finding a lot of tools from the new breed of “inventor consolidators” companies out there recently. This one caught our eye: It’s a four-wheel, fold-up, aluminum dollie that looks to be pretty handy for moving heavier items when space is tight.
