COOL TOOLS is about tools that really work and are worth buying or borrowing. The following items may be neither; they are Untried.<\/p>\n
An awful lot of goodies featured in magazines and blogs are simply cool sounding items that no one has actually tried, or even seen. The tools I usually review here on the other hand are offered by someone who not only has used the tool, but loves it, and ideally has tried many similar tools and can truly say, “this one is the best.”<\/p>\n
However the temptation to forward cool-appearing stuff remains strong, and occasionally I succumb to it. This week I offer notices of untried items that others (who have not seen or used these) have passed to me. Or they’ve come from the actual inventors or manufacturers.<\/p>\n
I make no recommendations about any of items below. I haven’t seen them, don’t know anyone who has used them, and I have no knowledge how reliable, honest, or competent the companies behind them are. All I know is that these look the most interesting and promising of all the blind suggestions I’ve gotten.<\/p>\n
I list them here because it’s the end of the summer, so I’m feeling a bit lazy, and I hope by sending them out a reader may have tried one or two and can let me know if they work.<\/p>\n
