[Closed] Win – Trojan’s Top Ten Tools

by Kyla on August 20, 2012 · 247 comments

When it comes to products for review, Dexter and I certainly receive the lions share but occasionally BTB Daddy gets lucky and with fathers day just around the corner I was delighted when Dremel and Trojan got in touch to see if hubby wanted to review some products (plus BTB Daddy almost squealed like a girl when I mentioned Dremel).

Unfortunately BTB Daddy was destined to be disappointed because he got bypassed and the Dremel went to BTB Grandad for review. My Dad is a tradesman, he has tools, lots of tools but the Dremel Saw Max is beyond handy, even for him. It’s powerful enough to cut through pretty much anything that needs cutting yet small and compact, able to be controlled with one hand which is great when working in tight spaces.

My parents are currently renovating their house and there’s a bunch of jobs that the Dremel Saw Max has been handy for, it’s a third of the weight of a regular circular saw and supremely portable so instead of Dad carting whatever needs cutting out to a work station he usually sets up outside, he can take it with him from room to room and avoid lugging things around the house just to get them cut.

The Dremel Saw Max comes in a handy carry case and features a dust extraction port to help maintain a clean workspace (this is Mum’s favourite feature!), a depth guide for precise plunge cuts and 4 cutting wheels tailored to different materials.

Retailing at $169, Dad says that the Dremel Saw Max is absolutely essential for anyone who is into DIY, renovations or even for professionals to take on the job. It’s simple to use and powerful, easy to handle and store and perfect for the home handyman or serial renovator.

Now I am not handy at all… all that dust, dirt and effort is not for me and while I can appreciate the need for a man to have tools around the home, I would much rather call in the professionals than have a crack at it myself. Plus I have a mild fear of large chain hardware stores, there’s so many things that I don’t understand and the store smells kinda funky. I visit with hubby under duress but am more likely to be found in the café watching Dex on the play area than wandering the aisles with him.

BTB Daddy is handy, he enjoys doing manly tasks and fixing things himself, he’d rather have a go than spend money on someone who might do the job quicker (or ‘right’ as I like to call it). He’s constantly bemoaning the lack of tools and the need for tool storage, I’d planned to buy him a tool box for fathers day but luckily there was no need to get over my fear of the local hardware store because Trojan sent us their Top Ten Tools to review (and I am eternally grateful).

Retailing at around $140 the Trojan Top Ten Tools contains nine essential household tools:
Combination Square
Tape Measure
Allen Key Set
Philips Head Screwdriver
Claw Hammer
Wood Chisel
Utility Knife with retractable blade
Stubby Wrench
Combination Pliers

all held in the most important tool of them all – a Trojan Tool Box (500 x 260 x 240) with built in compartments & lift out carry tray.

The tools are really good quality (even I can tell that), they feel nice in your hand and most have a nice soft grip. BTB Daddy is thrilled to have somewhere to store all his tools and has replaced some of his older, banged up bits and pieces with higher quality Trojan ones.

Thanks to Trojan Tools I have one of these fabulous (is that an adjective I can use to describe manly tools?) Top Ten Tools kits to give away. To enter simply leave a comment below to tell me about your (or your partners) biggest DIY mistake.

This giveaway ended on 21st September 2012.

Hubby has a habit of buying massive piles of wood that just hang around in the garage, never actually turning into anything! We are also known with the neighbours for all of the matching random posts we have around the house – for the decks, fences etc that the wood is apparently for! Seriously we currently have 7 random posts – unfortunately they don’t look as sculptural as they might sound!

When we renovated our kitchen (walls and all) I had to teach my husband how to hold a hammer and pull out nails. He was holding it up near the head. Cute.

My darling hubby put a gate on the deck but realised he needed to shorten the rungs
(so it would open and close over the top step) after he’d hinged it. Needless to say, he found it difficult to shave wood off the bottom of each so that is could function.

Biggest DIY was shaping the new front door to fit it’s slightly warped frame. It was only when it was finished, that we realised we had the door inside out. So the light refracting shaped glass is on the outside instead of inside!

hubby wanted to surprise me and put up the bathroom mirror, he was using liquid nails and didn’t realise it kept coming out of the gun even when it was on the floor, so he managed to stick his socks to the floor while he was holding the mirror in place…after all the effort and mess, I came home, took one look and told him he had put it up the wrong way, he had put it lengthways to the ceiling rather than across the wall!

Hubby tiled the bathroom feature wall, and started from an edge, not the centre. And it looked so bad, all these little bits up one edge. It eventually got re-done, when his pride and ego had recovered.

46 Diana O August 21, 2012 at 3:44 pm

Moron is all I can say. He was removing a huge old gum from the back yard and in his wisdom, climbed out onto a huge branch & began sawing away, only when it was too late did he realise his error. Fortunately he was OK and the fall didn’t break him.

47 Donato August 21, 2012 at 3:46 pm

Restoring an old chair, final coat of paint on and it looked amazing…….until I brainlessly sat on it. To this day I don’t know why I sat on it.

My mother-in-law had a tree blocking her afternoon sunlight and was paying someone to prune it. “Pay them?” I said. “I can do this in no time!”
So, borrowing a friend’s electric chain saw I climbed the ladder and went to work. All was going great when suddenly, BANG! I flew backwards off the ladder and acrid smoke was coming from her external power point. Yes, I had cleverly sawn right through the power cord! To top it off, her fuse box was blown too. I was unharmed – apart from a red face and need for clean undies. But Mum had to pay to have the job done properly – and the price of an electrician.

55 Ron Rose August 21, 2012 at 10:48 pm

I really like the 225MM Torpedo Level (product TJ93056) at Trojan tools.
There is nothing more frustrating than cutting or sanding, say a new door, only to find your old level wasn’t too accurate!

I was so looking forward to a new set of shelves being put up in the kitchen.
My partner eagerly set of to the hardware store, measuring tape in hand.
Returned with some beautiful smelling planks of wood, brackets and screws.
Straight into the job at hand.
Two days passed and finally……..beautiful finished shelves.
Up onto the new shelves goes my beautiful crystal glasses and bits and pieces that have been in the family for years.
About 1am that night, a very, very loud crashing sound of breaking glass.
We thought someone was breaking into our house, so we dialled ooo and waited for the police to arrive before going downstairs.
Flashing lights were evident and we quickly went to the front door to let in the police.
We (behind the two big policemen) marched through the house ready to catch an intruder……………
On entering the kitchen….Yes…….you guessed it……one of the shelves had come away from the wall…….crystal shards everywhere…….my extremely embarrassed partner was dumbstruck!!!!
Advised then by one not too happy policeman, who had built his own house….screws…a big no no…..certain bolts of which I cannot remember the name were the way to go….they grip into the wall.
Next day there was a knock on the door and it was the house building policeman with a gift for my husband……..a Spirit level!!!!!!
Sometimes it pays to Pay a professional. He will never live this down…he is frequently asked at gatherings how his home handy projects are going!!!!

I was painting my son’s cot before he was born, in our garage… With the door open… It was quite a windy day, and after finishing the final coat, the wind picked up, blowing dust everywhere. My fresh paint job was now embedded with tiny specks of dirt, on all surfaces. Awful.

We were putting up frieze along the nursery walls using that chalk cord stuff. He lined it up to where he thought level was, and then he and his friend proceeded to stick this stuff to the wall. They were onto wall #2 when I walked in and told them it was crooked. They had to try and take it off with out ruining the new paint as well. We had more frieze, so it wasn’t a complete disaster!

Because I’m a female plumber by trade, my husband always looks my way to fix various problems around the house. On the weekend when he was gardening, his shovel broke a PVC sewer pipe in the garden. Of course, it wasn’t his fault because the pipe should have been laid further into the ground, but thankfully his wife came to the rescue to fix it up. I come across more diy disasters from clients than I do at home!

Biggest DIY mistake, hmmm…

Not ordering enough plaster for our new bedroom?

Cutting a hole for a door handle before reading instructions to find the hole was too big and the wrong shape? (Still no door handle on that door!)

Piling the new wood on top of the new garden bed and plants?

Hanging plaster without noting where the power point wires were?

Take your pick…

We’ve made a few small mistakes here and there, but the best story I know is a friends’ mistake. He mounted their dryer on the wall, but only attached it to the Gyprock, not a support beam. One day they came home to find it had fallen off the wall, bounced off the washing machine and landed in the middle of the garage. Amazingly, it still worked! Good thing they were out or it would have landed on the car!!

My partner tiled our bathroom. He did an excellent job except for the drain hole in the shower. Instead of a recess for the water to drain down, the shower floor is flat with this tiny hole. I am running for the mop every time someone has a shower!!

Lets see there’s the toilet roll holder that sags off the wall, or the table he built that leans to the left…..best, scratch that worst, thing he built though the toy box that bites little fingers!

My partner, after many requests from our then 2 year old daughter to “make it faster, Daddy!”, decided to upgrade her 6v battery in her quad bike to an 18v battery. Well it did go much faster, straight into the fence! The 6V battery went back in there pretty quickly!

My story is about my dad….
he retired a couple of years ago and he’s never been very good at DIY but thought this was his chance to start doing more things around the house.
The ensuite tap was dripping in mum and dad’s bathroom. He went to the hardware store to buy the right wrench and washers and spent A LONG time fixing the leak.
Trouble was, the leak wasn’t fixed.
Mum insisted they call a plumber.
The plumber was very impressed that dad had managed to get the new washer on top of the old washer, rather than take the old busted one out.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD FLOODING FROM TORRENTIAL RAIN, OUR ROOF WAS LEAKING IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS SO HUBBY GOT UP THERE TO FIX THE LEAKS. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE LEAKS WERE RELATIVELY MINOR AND HE’D BE ABLE TO SEAL THEM WHEN THE RAIN CEASED. GREAT NEWS, HOWEVER, HE INSISTED ON HAVING A FURTHER LOOK AROUND, IN NEAR DARKNESS, AND SUBSEQUENTLY SLIPPED AND PUT ONE MASSIVE BIG FOOT RIGHT THROUGH THE CEILING. OUR MINOR PROBLEM SOON BECAME A MJOR FIX IT PROBLEM WHICH TOOK A LOT MORE MONEY AND TIME TO REPAIR. SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT TO THE EXPERTS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

shared on FB – My husband was clearing out a room to make into our nursery when the built in cupboard he was going to ‘easily replace’ took most of the wall away with it! Quite a setback haha.
