He shared with us many useful tips, ranging from how to get the most out of your camera lenses, to alternative activities for the senior surfer. Lloyd has spent much of his life researching the best possible tools and products for any purpose and doesn\u2019t disappoint with this lineup of excellent picks.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/cool-tools-show-and-tell\/id605920446?mt=2\">Subscribe to the Cool Tools Podcast on iTunes<\/a>\u00a0|<a href=\"http:\/\/feedpress.me\/cooltoolsshow\">\u00a0RSS<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/154y27qutoRCx5hPrLLpiHxN-1xPxPThVK2Y8tjG6txc\/edit?usp=sharing\">Transcript<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.soundcloud.com\/stream\/160999251-boing-boing-cool-tools-show-007-lloyd-khan-editor-in-chief-of-shelter-publications.mp3\">Download MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Show Notes :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shelterpub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Shelter Publications Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/surfmatters.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Surfmatters Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some of Lloyd&#8217;s books:<\/p>\n<p id=\"title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004W3BY0G\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">The Septic System Owner&#8217;s Manual<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ISBN\/0936070110\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">Shelter<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ISBN\/0936070625\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">Tiny Homes on the Move<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are Lloyd\u2019s tool picks, with quotes from the show:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal;\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81-uvGhD-qL._SL1500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"343\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00EQ07PG2\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">Olympus OMD EM-1 Mirrorless Camera<\/a>\u00a0$1299<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It got me to put away my Canon cameras which weighed five pounds.

It has a ten year guarantee and I bought four by twelve sheets&#8230;we tore off the fiberglass and put that on the greenhouse so everything in the greenhouse is much happier now. I&#8217;ve washed it once since we installed it.

There are really no controls on it other than a trigger, like you can\u2019t set it for different speeds or different torque. What it does is it backs up a little bit. Each time it goes forward it goes back a little bit, so it kind of chatters. It\u2019s just really great for grabbers and screws.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Image of Lloyd Kahn by Nicol\u00e1s Boullosa\/Flickr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lloyd Kahn &#8211; Cool Tools Show #7<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1559],"tags":[1555],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22245"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22245"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36736,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22245\/revisions\/36736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
