We love new gadgets on Redoityourself and that’s why we’re excited to feature the JML Universal Screwdriver.
This thing is just perfect for dealing with those DIY jobs that are fiddly, small or awkward. A real help if all you have in your tool kit is a bulky power drill.
The JML Universal Screwdriver gives you a twelve in one chances to show off your DIY skills - with two barrels preloaded with six screw heads. The first sits at the front of the screwdriver, whilst the second is concealed in its base. I have lost literally thousands of screws with my ungainly fat fingers so this feature is particularly handy for me.
Another ingenious feature is the barrel bit loading system. JML say:

If you’re a bit tired of resealing the shower, you may want to take a look at Coram Shower Pods.
The technology is described as watertight and maintenance free. Not bad if you want to avoid constant DIY sealing attempts…
The pods can be manufactured in a variety of colours (including pink) using glass reinforced polymer which is a very strong and durable material. Each pod section incorporates an overlapping joint which prevents leaks without the dreaded sealant.
If they do leak, Coram’s offer a lifetime guarantee.

If you want to be assured that your water is of the highest quality, you may need an Abode Aquifer Filter tap.
This fitting converts any kitchen mixer into a filter tap which will improve water quality. It works by diverting water from the mains to a purifying filter cartridge located underneath the sink. This filter can remove alcohol, chlorines, bleaches and detergents which can sometimes be found in water supplies.
Abode say:
“The Abode Aquifier filter taps dramatically improve the taste, smell and appearance of drinking water offering a clean source of unlimited spring fresh water for you and your family. With unique internal valve operation our Aquifier taps offer water filtration with no need for extra levers or a separate tap.”
If you have ever struggled to locate the stop cock valve during a pipe leak you might want to consider installing a Surestop mains water switch.
This great little gadget kind of makes me think -"why the hell didn’t I think of that?”
It works by connecting flexible tubing to a switch which controls the water supply. Surestop claim that it can be installed in less than an hour and requires no batteries or electricity.
