More Tools

In remodeling when sheets of drywall or whatever must be held these adjustable "helping hands" do just fine. The notch shown in photo #3 is so they won't slip when against studs. On a concrete floor, usually I drill a 3/16 hole and use a tapcon to keep the feet from kicking out.

I call this "Jet Attach" Used when a kitchen drain must be jetted .
Take the fernco apart, screw the female adapter on the marvel at the drain connection in the wall. reconnect the fernco with the tee facing down. Rope comes up loops around the faucet secure with a half hitch. Under the tee put a five gallon bucket. Jetter hose now goes in the short piece and through the tee as far as you can push it. Now turn on the jetter all the water that the jetter is using flows into the bucket. As soon as the blockage is penetrated the water then flows down the pipe. This works good no mess ... unless you dump the bucket or overflow it! This is not a tool for stupid users !!!
