Hungstrong is on the hook for sticking into the drywall

Drywall and hooks go together about as well as mixing oil and water. Anything that weighs more than about three pounds means that the hook is going to be pulled from the wall and some rather ugly damage will be left behind. That’s why the Hungstrong Hook Kit was created. This particular kit includes a hook designed to hold items that weigh as much as 40 pounds. So a coat, purse, backpack, shopping bag or other item that would normally be too heavy can be hung up to help minimize clutter. How is this possible? Because the hook is mounted to the wall by driving its pre-installed one inch Allen Anchor onto any drywall interior surface. The provided T-Handle tool makes this possible with very little effort. If installation isn’t too complicated, the Hungstrong Hook Kit would make a great addition to any kitchen, foyer, workshop or office. This campaign seeks to raise $7,500. For $40, backers get one kit with an expected delivery of January 2015.

CombiRadHammer has magnetic effect on radiator sludge

CombiRadHammerPerhaps one of the nastier jobs that comes with owning a home that uses water heat is cleaning the radiator. The sludge and hard deposits that build up over time make for poor water circulation and cold spots that can render a radiator nearly ineffective. That’s why there’s CombiRadHammer. This unique device fits any ‘SDS’ or ‘SDS plus’ drill, and when the hammer setting is used, breaks up the debris through mechanical impact and magnetic disruption. According to the video, the magnet is a Neodymium N52, and is encased in strong plastic casing. For £35, backers get a complete product with an expected delivery of July 2014.
