So this is my new screwdriver inside the house, and there&#8217;s a couple things I like. First, it\u2019s small. It&#8217;s like four-and-a-half inches long, and so it fits in a junk drawer really easily. The second thing I really like about it is it&#8217;s a ratcheting screwdriver. So, if you&#8217;re fixing a knob on a cabinet or something you don&#8217;t have to spin it around in your hand, you can just kind of ratchet it in, which I love. But you can also make it just a steady, regular kind of screwdriver. Then the third thing that I love about it is you unscrew the cap on the top of the screwdriver and inside are five other tips. So you\u2019ve got three Phillips head and three regular screwdriver tips, and they vary from pretty tiny to large and fat, and they&#8217;re right there in the cap, so you can grab your screwdriver without knowing what kind of screw you&#8217;ve gotta work on, and you&#8217;ll have the right tip.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-29640\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/masonjar-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"masonjar\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/masonjar-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/masonjar.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/191399941\/24-oz-mason-drinking-jar-stainless-steel?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=ball%20jar%20with%20straw&amp;ref=sr_gallery_1\" target=\"_blank\">24 oz Mason Drinking Jar &amp; Stainless Steel Straw<\/a> ($10.50)<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s actually a Ball jar, not a mason jar, and then it\u2019s got the regular kind of screw-on lid, but whoever made this took the little flat part of the lid on top and put a rivet in it and made a hole so you can stick a straw in there. It is actually pretty waterproof. I wouldn&#8217;t say you should leave it upside down in your car, but I&#8217;ll usually put a smoothie in here, and every once in a while I&#8217;ll shake it to just kind of mix up the liquid again, and it&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t come out at all. So, it\u2019s that waterproof. \u2026 A lot of times these will come with a metal straw, and I don\u2019t like that because, since I drink a smoothie out of it, I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;m never really getting that clean, so I found some straws on Amazon that fit to the bottom. It had to be an extra-long straw. It fits to the bottom of the jar, and it\u2019s got a little bend in it, and then I just toss it when I\u2019m done. \u2026 I just feel like glass gets really clean. And you don\u2019t have to worry about BPAs.\u201d<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-29639\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/spoonstraw-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"spoonstraw\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/spoonstraw-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/spoonstraw-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/spoonstraw-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/spoonstraw.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2xS2BFB\" target=\"_blank\">GFDesign Drinking Spoon Straws<\/a> ($10.50)<br \/>\n\u201cI was looking at cocktail items, and this caught my eye \u2026 We started using it when I was making mojitos, and you gotta stir up a mojito, because you\u2019ve got some granulated sugar in the bottom of it when you muddle the mint leaves. So you stir it up with this thing, and then I\u2019m thinking, &#8216;This is great, because then you just leave it in there, and you sip through it.&#8217; And if your sugar didn\u2019t all dissolve, you can still start drinking your mojito and kind of stir it as you go along.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29638\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/buymeapie.png\" alt=\"buymeapie\" width=\"188\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/buymeapie.png 188w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/09\/buymeapie-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/buymeapie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Buy me a pie!<\/a><br \/>\n\u201cI am kind of like a connoisseur of grocery shopping list apps. [This app] is actually organized by store, so I have a Whole Foods list, a Target list, and a Costco list, basically, and I can open whichever one I want, and then I can add items to whichever one I want. You can have the same item in different lists. You can have as many lists as you want if you buy the paid version. I think the free version you\u2019re limited to maybe two or three. \u2026What I really like about it is that you can color-code these items by grocery store area or by aisle. So everything that&#8217;s veggie is green and fruit&#8217;s green, and meat is under the red category, and cold foods are blue and frozen foods are gray. So that way, as you\u2019re going through your list, you go to produce and you just see all the produce that you need to get is all in one section.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool Tools Show 090: Wendy Frauenfelder<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1559],"tags":[1555,1472],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29637"}],"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\/74"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29637"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29643,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29637\/revisions\/29643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
