So many useful things around my house arrived via the personal recommendations posted by Cool Tools. But the “staff” of Cool Tools is not limited to the staff listed on the About page<\/a>. That’s where you come in. We’d like your recommendations.<\/p>\n

Here are a few things we are currently looking for:<\/p>\n

The ultimate walker for an elderly person?
\nA decent vacuum-cooking cookbook for amateurs?
\nThe best digital wildlife trail monitor camera?
\nIs there a product available that uses WI-FI to connect a desktop hard drive to a stereo? The previously reviewed<\/a> Roku Soundbridge did, but is no longer available.<\/p>\n

Best inflatable kayak?
\nCheap hair analysis for heavy metals?
\nAffordable, high-functioning walkie talkies?
\nRacquet stringing machine?
\nBest time accounting software\/website?
\nBest (cheapest\/most efficient) dimmable CFL replacement for a 60-watt tungsten bulb
\nWhat’s the best guide to internet radio? A site, blog or forum where various internet radio stations are reviewed, compared, and recommended. Not just listings of links.
\nBest intro to beekeeping book?
\nBest fiction podcast?<\/p>\n

Have you used\/read and can you recommend the following, or something comparable that’s superior?<\/p>\n

Drill Doctor
\nCobrahead gardening tool
\nBackyard Ballistics<\/em> by William Gurstelle
\nSeed to Seed <\/em>by Suzanne Ashworth?<\/p>\n

Or anything else you can heartily recommend from your own personal experience. If you love something you’d love others to know about as well, write me. (If you are feeling extremely helpful you might want to check the Cool Tools archive to make sure we haven’t already featured it.)<\/p>\n

If you’re not already a subscriber receiving our weekly e-mail with five new tool recommendations every week, sign up and submit your recommendation. For a broader perspective of this site’s tool philosophy, I recommend this<\/a> essay. Tell us what you use to open up possibilities, save money, make stuff, live better.<\/p>\n
