Irwin.

Vise-Grip Groove-Lock pliers adjust 50% faster than traditional groove joint pliers, the maker says. A multi-groove ratcheting system allows for precise positioning while a press-and-slide button adjusts the jaw. The jaw grips flat, round, hex, and square work pieces. Molded handles combine with anti-pinch design for added comfort. The pliers come in several sizes and varieties. 800.866.5740. www.irwin.com.

The Stud 4 Sure stud finder uses rare earth magnets to pinpoint the exact location of screws or nails in a stud. Users place the stud finder on the wall and sweep it in an “S” pattern to locate any metal fasteners. The finder, which doesn't require batteries and never needs calibration, carries a lifetime guarantee. 800.827.3398. www.chhanson.com.
