TOOLS THAT DON\u2019T SUCK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As water feature installers, my sons and I are used to hard, dirty, sometimes dangerous work. We enjoy what we do, whether it\u2019s digging ponds, plumbing pumps, rolling boulders or tweaking waterfalls. We also value anything that helps make the work easier or more fun. We\u2019re always looking for tools, apps or gadgets that save time & effort, eliminate stress, add to our comfort on the job or are just fun to use. Often a buddy will turn us on to one. I\u2019d like to return the favor by passing our favorite Tools That Don\u2019t Suck along to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wobble Wedge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the best stuff comes in the smallest packages. That\u2019s the way I think of this next doohickey. This deceptively simple device that\u2019s so well engineered that I now take them for granted. But that\u2019s only because I keep a jar full of them in every truck. I\u2019m talking about the modest, overachieving Wobble Wedge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manufacturer calls them \u201ca modular system of securely-stackable interlocking plastic shims\u201d. Like any good system, there are a number of models to choose from. There are flexible and rigid wedges, white, black or clear in color. Three different sizes, all interlocking and cross-nesting, accommodate all sorts of leveling, shimming, tightening and locking tasks in and out of doors. All feature tiny ribs that lock wedge-to-wedge, regardless of the size of the wedge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can be adjusted in tiny increments and lock where you leave them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For our purposes, we like the rigid standard black wedges for shimming columns and overflowing vases that need small adjustments, while the Big Gap wedges handle really uneven situations. Regardless of the size, all Wobble Wedges can be adjusted in tiny increments and lock where you leave them, no slipping or shifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are they worthy of the status “Tools That Don\u2019t Suck?”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Heck yes! These guys thought of everything that I could want on the job, and they have a couple of patents to prove it. The standard black Wobble Wedges are small and easily concealed. The hard plastic is pretty much indestructible. I say that after shimming over a thousand pounds with them, driving them home with a mallet to get a granite sphere dead level. They\u2019re even forgiving! If you push them too far under a really big fountain or stone column, they have an inset Grab Bar at the back of the wedge that lets you pull them back out with a needlenose plier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did I mention that they are 100% Made in the USA? And they\u2019re inexpensive to boot, around $20 for a bucket of 75! When I showed one to my friends at a distributorship I was visiting, they brought them in the next day, no further convincing necessary. Love at first sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t already, try Wobble Wedges. I think you\u2019ll like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
