MAIN PURPOSE: Sort lever wire connectors by size in a Gridfinity bin

A 3x2 Gridfinity bin for electricians' lever connectors: six bays for the 2-, 3- and 5-way sizes and the inline splicers, in a bin that clicks into the van's Gridfinity drawer and lifts out to the job.

Stained-glass cutter station

MAIN PURPOSE: Keep a glass cutter oiled with its pliers and breaker

A bench station for stained-glass work. The glass cutter stands wheel-down in the oil cup so the wheel stays lubricated between scores, and the tray holds the running pliers, grozing pliers and breaker. It saves wheels and saves glass.

Pyrography tip vault

MAIN PURPOSE: File wood-burning tips by shape

A slotted box for wood-burning pen tips. Eight narrow slots keep the shaders, writers, spoons and ball tips apart, so their faces don't chip against each other, and each one can be picked out by shape. The lid reminds you: COLD TIPS ONLY.

ER32 collet rack

MAIN PURPOSE: Stand ER32 collets in order by size

A bench rack for machinists and CNC routers: eight ER32 collets sit nose-down in a row, in size order, so the right one is picked first time instead of being dug out of a box. The tray below catches chips and coolant.

Pin Pilot

MAIN PURPOSE: Start small nails without hitting fingers

Press a panel pin or small nail into the slot that grips it and tap it in while holding the long handle: your fingers stay 100 mm from the hammer, and the three slots take shanks from 1.4 to 3 mm. Pull the holder away sideways once the nail stands on its own.

Arc Rider

MAIN PURPOSE: Turn a tape measure into a big compass

Slide the clip onto a tape measure blade and push a pencil through the side ring: hook the tape over a nail at the centre point, lock it at the radius you want and swing it, and the pencil draws circles and arcs as large as the tape is long, for arches, round tables and garden beds.

Mini Podium

MAIN PURPOSE: Grip a miniature and store its parts inside

A miniature painting handle with a storage chamber: fix the figure to the screw lid with a dab of putty and hold the 36 mm body like a thick pen, then unscrew it between figures to keep spare bases, magnets and a brush tip inside. It stands upright on its own while the paint dries.

Spoon Blank

MAIN PURPOSE: Mark out a carving spoon blank

Lay the template on a split green-wood blank with the notches on the grain line and draw round it: you get a well-proportioned eating spoon, a 46 mm bowl on a 190 mm handle, ready to axe and carve, and every spoon in a set comes out the same size.

Sheet Mule

MAIN PURPOSE: Carry big sheets of board single-handed

Carry a full sheet of plywood or plasterboard on your own: hook the bottom edge into the J, stand the sheet on edge against your side and lift by the top handle. Your arm hangs straight, the board stays vertical and the sheet no longer needs two people or a wide arm span.

Wire Meet

MAIN PURPOSE: Hold two wires end to end for soldering

Feed the two wires to be joined through matching holes in the end walls and the two inner walls until the stripped ends meet in the middle bay: they are held straight, level and end to end, so you can twist or lap them and solder with both hands free. Two hole sizes suit thin and medium wire.
