This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. Going green has gotten a lot more attention in recent years. The shift to green has also been happening with lasers used in construction and home improvement, but in their case, it has nothing to do with the environment. In the case of lasers, it’s about going from red to green beam technology. Is this just a fad like shag carpeting, water beds and wood paneling? Or, is greening your laser beam something you should consider pronto? We’ll cover all of this (except the shag carpeting and water beds) and more as we review the Bosch GLL 100 GX Green Beam Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser. Read More

Get a Grip on Your Wires with The Volt Claw
We periodically receive tools from different brands and not all of them make it to the front of the line for a potential review on HomeFixated. A couple years back, The Nonconductive Tool Company (NTC LLC) sent us a couple of their products to check out. For a while, these sat on the back-burner. I simply didn’t see the use for them. “I have fingers, so if I need to bend or push wires, I’ll use those” was my mindset. I also had some concern people might decide using these tools eliminates the need to shut off the power first (it DOES NOT). So, let me preface this review by saying, no matter what tool you may or may not be using, ALWAYS shut off the power, and then verify the power is indeed off with a voltage detector before working on said wiring. This dynamic duo of the Volt Claw 12 and the Volt Claw Multi-Gauge are setting out to bend electrical wires to your will. Read on to find out how the Voltage Claw made it from a neglected shelf into my Veto tool bag geared up for electrical work. Read More
