- BEST SCREWDRIVER SET
Klein 32288 $50
Klein’s screwdriver is here
for several reasons. First,
the bits are extremely
sturdy, suited to the work
of professional electri-
cians. Second, they swap
easily in and out of the
handle: Push them in to
lock, and twist the handle
collar to pop them out. The
whole shebang—five bits
and handle—stores in a
neat little wallet.
- BEST TAPE MEASURE
Milwaukee
48-22-0225M $25
Milwaukee added features
you wouldn’t normally
expect in a stout, 25-foot
tape measure. And it
got them all right. But
our favorite is the com-
bination of standard
horizontally arranged
numbers on the front and
vertically arranged num-
bers on its back, making it
far easier to read regard-
less of your view.
- BEST SNOW SHOVEL
Ames True Temper
1603400 $20
This Ames True Tem-
per shovel is a study in
sturdiness. Its 1.25-
inch-diameter steel
handle is firmly planted
to the 18-inch-wide blade
with a heavily ribbed
socket. And what a blade.
It’s molded from one piece
of slippery, high-density
polyethylene that resists
clumping snow, meaning
you spend more time shov-
eling and less time trying
to bang the True Temper
clean. A wear strip riveted
on the blade’s tip helps it
withstand the occasional
rough cleaning, though.
