Is your kitchen or bathroom sink clogged?
You might want to buy a hand auger.
Ryobi recently came out with their cordless hand auger.
You can use this to clear clogs that are hard to reach.
We recommend mechanically removing clogs instead of using chemical cleaners.
Because chemicals can often do more harm than good.

Today’s show has pro tips from Steve White from SRW Contracting.
He recommends using a laser level to line up tile and make sure gets started the right way.
Steve uses a Bosch laser level and horseshoe tile spacers to get perfect looking tiles.
You can use a laser level to install mirrors, vanities, lights, accessories, pictures and more.
It’s worth the money.
