DIY Network’s Cool Tools

We had the chance to ask Cool Tool’s Chris Grundy some questions about the show, and about the tools that he thinks are the best. Here is the interview:

1. What is the most “wish list worthy” tool? The tool everyone would want to have on their wish list?

A lithium ion impact driver – the extra power these give to setting screws makes everyone feel tough. Oscillating tools may be a good alternative choice since fewer people already have them.

2. What is the one tool you think no DIYer should be with out?

A sense of humor! Because if a job ever went 100 percent as planned we’d be living in some bizarre parallel dimension! After that, I like to have a good piloting countersink for my driver drill.  It’s a good way to slow down and remember the “devil is in the details,” so if you take care of the small things and don’t rush, the big picture will be more complete and not have some split wood.

3. What is your favorite thing about being on DIY Network’s Cool Tools?

Getting to be myself, share my love of tools and see everything that’s on the cutting edge.

Thanks Chris! DIY Network will be airing a special “Holiday Blitz” of Cool Tools episodes for the Thanksgiving weekend (starting 11/27 through 11/30) to get you geared up for the holiday season and ready to tackle some of your own DIY projects with the “coolest” tools. The new season of Cool Tools will air immediately after the Holiday Blitz on Thursdays at 9pm.

    Sorry for the last incomplete post–
    I meant to say that I’ve met the 300 Entrecard drop limit, but wanted to let you know I dropped by.
