Any "mouse sander" will do the trick! And they're pretty affordable too. Hope it helps! xo, s

Hey Jen,

We actually don’t have a specific brand that we prefer. Any “mouse sander” will do the trick! And they’re pretty affordable too. Hope it helps!

I'm looking to refinish/paint some furniture... Thanks!

Thanks!

In response to Sheila's question about a tool kit for her daughter... My parents bought the one linked below for me when I went to college, and five years later I am still using it! I am about to move into my own house and can't wait to put it to work there as well. Everything has stayed in great condition. Oh and the hammer is lightweight (only 7 ounces) but packs a punch. I know it's unavailable on the Amazon link but a little bit of Googling should do the trick! http://www.amazon.com/Barbara-BK24214-30-Piece-Signature-Tool/dp/B0000CE1BE P.S. Love your blog! Can't wait to put some of your ideas to work... and I'll have a drawer to the left of the stove just begging for some tools! :) Hello Youngsters!

And we're seriously enjoying all the other tools that you guys are taking the time to mention! What an awesome master list this has become. We definitely see a few that we neglected to mention in our roundup- and a few that we have yet to try! Fun... xo, s (& j)

It's the one you push, not squeeze and my hubby gave it to me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I'm also in love with his chop saw, after using it to put down 5 rooms of laminate flooring all by myself! ...But of course, that doesn't fit into a kitchen drawer..

I think someone else called it Poster Putty, but out here in California we call it Quake Hold. MAN that stuff is FABULOUS. Nicole at Making It Lovely said once that she could not live without her 5-in-1 tool, but I've never used one. My toolbox has pretty much the same stuff as yours. Oh, and I could not live without my ratcheting screwdriver either. So much easier on the wrist. How can you live without Quake Hold?

There is nothing more annoying than banging on a wall trying to find a stud, thinking you've found it, and then realizing that you have not when one smack with the hammer send the nail flying out the other side of the dry wall! (yes...I'll admit it was me who did that!) Having just recently moved into a new house I have found that I always have my carpenter’s square and stud finder on hand.
