Her Toolbox SUPER SAWZALL


Looking for gift ideas for the Fixie Chick in your life?
Her Toolbox is my December blog series. Check back 2X a week for a great gift idea for her toolbox!

Heavy-Duty Orbital Super Sawzall Reciprocating Saw

I've saved the best for last! Every Chick deserves a SUPER SAWZALL. I use mine almost as much as I use my drill. It's perfect for clearing brush. I've even used mine to cut sod for bare spots of grass in my yard. Of course there are many uses for a SUPER SAWZALL, but my favorite feature is how easy it is to use.

With this, my last post in my Decemebr blog series "Her Toolbox", I'd like to wish you all the happiest holiday season.

This one is definitely on my Christmas list! I love to paint and I can't wait to try this uniquely designed paintbrush. It is made of recyclable plastic and boasts an ergonomic round handle as opposed to the traditional flat handle. The best part is, when you have finished your painting project, clean up is a breeze. You simply attach the handle to a garden hose or wash tub faucet and rinse from the inside out.
