Do you have a love-hate relationship with your caulk tubes? I know I do. There is a whole shelf in the garage filled with multiples of the same caulk. Inevitably, trying to use a previously used tube results in a messy battle between me, the caulk tube, and some sort of sharp implement like a nail or coat hanger. I usually lose and have to tap a new tube. Apparently I am not the first person to struggle with Caulk woes. Enter Caulk Savers. Designed to puncture the membrane of caulk at the base of the neck of the caulk tube container and then seal the neck of the container to preserve the caulk for the next use. It is a handy tool that promises to save countless tubes of caulk, and, it can be re-used. Available in six packs (minimum order of two packs), for about $9/pack, direct from CaulkSavers.com

About Marc Lyman

Marc grew up under a brave single mom who "encouraged" home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out. In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, "We need to cut down some trees. . . . here's a chainsaw." A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine!
