Most of our window screens have holes poked by tiny curious fingers that let in mosquitos and other unwanted guests because we haven’t gotten around to replacing the darn things. Now we don’t have to with this quick-fix screen repair tape. It comes in black or gray and just sticks right over any rips or holes.

This Drain Snake Is DIY Plumbing
Living with two long-haired little girls creates a lot of hair buildup in drains, evidenced by our bathroom sink that clogs every month. Trying to clean a drain without this drain snake is a nightmare – I’d never want to attempt it on my own!

This Smart Funnel Pays For Itself In A Few Uses
Why does this concept have to end in the condiment aisle? The same thing happens with soap!

Make DIY Touch-Ups Easy Peasy With This Paint Pen
If there’s one DIY job I absolutely despise, it’s painting.
