Jefferson Tool

The Extractor delivers slip-free extraction, making it easier to remove exposed nails and fasteners encountered during building, remodeling, repair, and salvage projects, according to the manufacturer. The tool's self-locking jaws automatically increase gripping force as greater resistance is encountered. Once the extraction has been initiated, only a prying action is necessary; the handles no longer need to be squeezed. 843-556-0455. www.nailextractor.com

Bosch Tools

The Hole Enlarger Kit fixes holes that are cut too small or widens old holes that won't fit larger materials. Users enlarge holes by attaching a hole saw, which matches the desired hole size, to an enlarger nut, then attaching a cup matching the original hole size. The inner cup acts as a pilot guide, allowing the outer cup to cut a clean hole. Two thread profiles accommodate cup sizes from 9/16 inch to 6 inches. 877-267-2499. www.boschtools.com
