Magnetic Spic Rack

My wife got this off of Amazon. 

The sheet metal measures 11" X 23" 




It came with:
1) the sheet metal 11" x 23" (pre-drilled holes)
2) wall anchors and screws
3) 50 glass jars
3) 50 super magnets (need to be super-glued on the lids)
    *note: my wife bought the sticky labels separate

Required tools to install: drill for wall anchors, phillip's head to screw the sheet metal to the wall, super glue

The installation was easy. My wife loves it.  She was able to pour all of the contents of the typical spice container to the new glass ones. She freed up a lot of space in the cabinet and having the rack on the wall does not take up any space.

This is a Porter cable Oscillating saw I picked up at Lowe's for $100.00.  I was very impressed with the quick change out saw blades.  The thickness of the blades are very thin and precise.  The saw even has a speed regulator.

Purdy Wire brush

Here is a Pic of the wire brush. The handle has a nice ergonomic shape and feel.  If you look above the wire bristles there is a rubberized grip section for your second hand, it is like that on both sides.  Bristles are bristles are all the same. Right?  Well not exactly Purdy angled the bristles in opposite directions, so some are better going forward and others are better going backwards.  The angle helps the wire get underneath the top layer of whatever you are using it on. There is a hole in the handle for convenience to hang on a wall. The only thing that I saw that might be lacking is a pole screw thread for a more versatile tool.  In Purdy's defense they do make a scrub brush that does attach on the end of a pole.
