DeWalt 5-In-1 Hacksaw

Guess who started making hand tools? The DeWalt 5-In-1 Hacksaw ($25) is part of the legendary brand's new line of hand tools, bringing the same toughness as their battery-powered brethren. This particular specimen features a reversible blade that offers up to 330 pounds of 90 degree slicing on one side and 45 degree flush cuts on the other, a removable nose piece that lets it function as a low-profile hacksaw, a blade storage compartment that holds a reciprocating saw blade, and the ability to serve as a pistol-grip jab saw for cutting drywall.

Thor Ice Scraper

What better name for a burly ice scraper than that of a Nordic god-turned-comic hero? The Thor Ice Scraper ($20) drops the hammer on ice and snow with a double-blade design so you can scrape with forward and backward motions, a front handle for added force, a telescoping arm so you can reach all the way across your vehicle with ease, and a front plow for blasting away snow.

Porter Cable Infrared Thermometer

Think your old windows might be leaking out your money in the form of heat? Worried that there are small creatures living in your walls? The Porter Cable Infrared Thermometer ($50) can help you find out. Measuring temperatures from -22º to 590º F, all you need to do is point it at the area you want to check — a built-in LED will shine on the wall, glowing blue for cold areas and red for warmer spots. As for what you do when you discover a gateway to the underworld inside your home? That's up to you.

Wera Koloss Hammer Ratchet

We've all used our ratchets as hammers at one point or another, so why not go ahead and make it official? The Wera Koloss Hammer Ratchet ($100) is designed to take blows with the best of them, thanks to a drop-forged hammer head, but also functions as a heavy-duty reversible ratchet with a minimal six degree return angle, a fine-tooth mechanism, a multi-component Kraftform handle that ensures a secure grip.

Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts. They turn back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and popular culture. From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.

Glowbar

What's the biggest problem facing home intruders today? Accidentally breaking glass because they can't see what they're doing. The Glowbar ($80) is here to change all of that. Made from high-carbon steel, it features a hyper-phosphorescent coating that should provide more than enough light to ensure you've got it wedged securely between the door and the frame. Just watch out for those McCallister kids — we hear they can be brutal around the holidays.

Bash Unbreakable Sledge Hammer

Nope, this isn't another workout tool. The aptly-named Bash Unbreakable Sledge Hammer ($40-$160) boasts a steel-cored handle that prevents breakage, a high-visibility, drop-forged head that's flat on the end to allow it to stand upright, a textured grip, a safety plate that firmly locks the head in place to eliminate dislodging, an anti-vibration neck, and a lanyard hole on the end to secure the hammer to your wrist — although we can think of a couple of instances (working on a skyscraper and dropping it over the side) when you'd be better to just let it go.

Best Made Cloth Extension Cords

Extension cords are a necessary evil — especially around the holidays — but no one said they had to be ugly. Most of them just are. Not these Best Made Cloth Extension Cords ($40), though. These eight-foot pulley-style cotton cords are woven in Massachusetts using three copper wires, each of which is stranded and left for dead covered in PVC insulation, then twisted together, padded, and braided with a cotton weave. Solid brass plug blades and rubber plugs round out the offering, which may have you looking for new reasons to string cords all over your house.

Stihl Battery-Powered Chain Saw

Green, low-noise, and lightweight aren't normally attributes we associate with chainsaws, but you'll find them all in the Stihl Battery-Powered Chain Saw ($350). This particular unit is powered by a 36-volt lithium-ion battery, eliminating the need for awkward and dangerous power cords, or smelly, emission-producing gas engines. In addition, it features a toolless quick chain adjuster, a foot-long guide bar, and offers up to 60 minutes of run time on the AP 160 battery or 35 on the AP 80, neither of which are included — nor is a charger, so expect to incur some extra cost should you decide to go cordless.

Gerber Apocalypse Kit

The name pretty much says it all. The Gerber Apocalypse Kit ($350) includes everything you need to keep yourself alive should a zombie outbreak occur — and that means machetes, axes, knives, and more knives. Pretty much anything with a blade on it, all packed into a durable canvas case. Be safe. Be prepared.

Black & Decker SureGrip Laser Level

Hanging photos, artwork, shelves, and anything else on your wall while getting it perfectly straight and level can be hard — but it doesn't have to be. The Black & Decker SureGrip Laser Level ($30) makes it so by securing to your wall with a combination suction cup and silicone ring to eliminate marks, offering an integrated vial that changes from red to green when you've got it level, and a laser line that emanates from left or right, to ensure that everything on the wall is at the right height. The only way it could be easier is if it had an arm to reach out and hammer nails into the wall itself.

LED Lenser X21 Flashlight

Sometimes you need more than a pedestrian flashlight — and the LED Lenser X21 Flashlight ($400) is definitely not pedestrian. Featuring seven ultra-bright, high-performance LED chips paired with terminator lenses, the X21 produces up to 1120 lumens of light — enough to put typical car headlights to shame — and can disperse it in a broad, circular beam, or in a tightly-focused stream that can reach up to 1500 feet. It goes without saying, but you probably don't want to be flashing this thing in your — or anyone else's — eyes.

Rockwell Trans4mer

Why buy two tools when you can just buy one? The Rockwell Trans4mer ($250) is a convertible power tool that changes from a jigsaw to a reciprocating saw in a flash, and offers wireless operation thanks to a 12-volt LithiumTech battery that recharges in just 30 minutes. It's also got the ability to switch between six cutting-position angles, a comfortable grip, and an integrated LED worklight to ensure you're hitting the mark.
