Bondera Tile Mat Set
Their website: www.bonderatilematset.com I have been waiting for just the right project to give the Bondera Tile Mat Set a good test. The perfect situation presented its self in a kitchen backsplash. To prepare the area before the Bondera product was used, I removed the old existing tile as well as the drywall behind it. Some new electrical was ran, and the drywall replaced and taped smooth. I went about this they way I think most of us do, I …
Photo Group #1
This is one of the many Die Forge tools used to manufacture Channel lock Tools. As opposed to Drop Forged, Die Forging does a much better job making a stronger, precise tool.

Lags did the job fine for then, but now with these Torx Lags, the job has gotten much easier, faster, and in many ways, better. When you used to have to use …
Channellock Tools
Because of The HomeFix Radio Show, I get a lot of products sent in for “Testing”. It is not really fair for some of these items as I tend to have an opinion about them before I even give them a try. Either that or I have been using the thing / stuff for years and need no further convincing. So when Channellock tools came to me and wanted to work out some promotional activities and brand awareness on the …
