What it concludes

• A wonder bar is thin enough to slide between a baseboard and wall without tearing the world apart.
• A finish hammer has a more civilized claw that rolls around the head instead of bruising the wood.
• A chalk line with white chalk is preferred over blue chalk to avoid permanent stains inside a house.
• An inside and outside tape measure hook measurement is accurate because the hook slides by its own thickness.
