PROBABLY THE BEST DIY TOOL IN THE WORLD ... EVER - July 2013

Over the years of decorating, renovating and now practically rebuilding our houses, we have built up a fair sized tool kit comprising of big power tools down to simple gadgets, costing hundreds of pounds down to pence. However, there is one tool  which has been used probably every day during these renovations. Its use has surpassed any expensive power tool. It is the one tool Will and I have fought over, both claiming that it is essential to the project we are working on at the time. I have been known to hide it so Will has to make do with a lesser being wannabe (Ssshhhh).


We have named this tool "Omnitool". Omnitool can be used for virtually ANYTHING & EVERYTHING!

If a tin of paint needs opening ... call for Omnitool.

If old paint won't come off a wall  ... Omnitool will come to the rescue.

If you can't remove those fiddly things holding the lid onto a tin of B&Q mixed Dulux paint .. use Omnitool.

If you need to grout between tiles - floor or wall ... then Omnitool's your tool.

If you can't find an applicator or mixer for Polyfilla ... Omnitool does the job equally as well, if not better.

If you want to stir paint ... Omnitool does it excellently.

If cement has been incorrectly placed ... it removes well with Omnitool.

You name it - Omnitool can do it.

What, you may well ask. is this wonderful tool?



This is it ...

An old kitchen knife from which the original handle has disappeared.



And this is a Wannabe ...

We have plenty of Wannabes, but none are as effective as the original Omnitool!

And what else has been happening?

Well . . . You remember all those killer nettles I removed? Look what I have just found growing in a four foot high hedge...

You need a close up? ...

And the lower part of the house has gone from this ...

To this ...

And now this ...

Getting there slowly!
