Home Improvement TOOL TIME
By Derek Manson

(MONEY Magazine) – The pictures need hanging, the sink needs fixing and the shelf unit needs assembling. You wouldn't be caught dead in a tool belt, but you sure could use its contents right about now. Enter Rubbermaid's Tough Tools Portable Tools Kit, an eight-piece set of all the essentials for do-it-yourselfers, including a torpedo level, a 10-inch adjustable wrench, a 12-foot tape measure and a ratcheting screwdriver. Each tool sports a comfortable rubberized grip and fits neatly into a flat, nylon zip-up carrying case. The kit, $40, is a Wal-Mart exclusive until October; after that you can also pick it up at Target. To find a store near you, or for a little more tool time, click on rubbermaidtoughtools.com. The tool line also includes a picture-hanging kit and a bucket organizer. --DEREK MANSON
