You know how people use the word Kleenex when they mean tissues? That's sort of the same identity situation Dremel has. When people refer to using a Dremel, they mean they are using a rotary tool. Just like Kleenex, Dremel has become what people call a rotary tool. 

As part of The Home Depot ProSpective campaign, we are sharing a couple of Dremels, uhh, I mean a couple of rotary tools and accessories!

Name the scariest tool you can think of--did you think "chainsaw?" 

If you did, you're not alone. We thought the same thing! There is a BIG intimidation factor when it comes to chainsaws.

As part of The Home Depot ProSpective campaign, we were sent the new Milwaukee M18 16 in. 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery Brushless Cordless Chainsaw to use and review. The chainsaw has the same power and performance as a 40 cc gas chainsaw and is compatible with the M18 system. So if you already have Milwaukee M18 batteries, you can use the same ones with this chainsaw!

As part our sponsorship with The Home Depot Prospective campaign, we receive quarterly shipments of tools to try. Our preference is to use the tool in a project rather than just do a review. It's really a lot of fun for us to brainstorm how we are going to use the tools. Usually, it's pretty simple, but sometimes we get a tool that stumps us!

The Milwaukee 100' Chalk Reel is one of those tools. A chalk line makes a nice crisp line between two points. It's used most often by carpenters, roofers and flooring installations. When we built our garage wall last year, we definitely could have used a chalk line.

But, since no construction projects are in our near future, we came up with a simple way to show the tool in action.

An on-going theme in our #garagemakeover is the use of Husky products. We have many of their tools and love their "lifetime" guarantee. In the makeover we needed some things to help manage our storage needs as well as work needs. Husky came to the rescue with three garage "must-have" products. 

Take a look at three of our favorite products in our new garage work space.

Here in Florida, hurricane season runs from June to November-- peaking in late August through September. Since the start of the peak season is just around the corner, it’s time to inventory and add to our hurricane prep kit. 

The 2017 hurricane season was a wake-up call to get prepared. We realized that we have been woefully underprepared for storms—not just hurricanes, but other natural and manmade disasters.
