Black & Decker BDL220S Laser Level Review

Black and Decker BDL220S Laser Level
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The level comes with a nail system that is what makes it stand on the walls. The problem is that if you use this nail (in order to use the level as showed in the advertising pictures), you will leave a small, noticeable whole in your wall(!). There is no way of using the graded wheel that forms the base of the level without "nailing" it. This makes it very poorly design and only suitable to use fully either in places where you wouldn't mind leaving a small whole or during construction times, when you know the wall your are working will be later be repainted. of course, who would be interested in hanging a picture then?

NEW - Simple Strip Professional Power Solution Review

Just this week I successfully stripped an entire fairly large house's wallpaper with one of these. Instructions are printed on the label, and this is part of the Wallwik system that's very easy to use. i already had the scoring tool so didn't need the kit, but I find their paste busting solution is one of the best.
I find it so much easier than using a steamer. I used double-strength as directed for a couple of the rooms as they had wallpaper three layers thick and also had to increase the soaking time.

Simple Strip Power Solution Wallpaper Stripper, 32oz Review

I needed a good wallpaper stripping system as we are updating a 1980's bathroom that hasn't been touched since the house was built in 1984. This stuff is great! Although there is only one layer of paper, I can see that this product would have been a life-saver when I stripped the paper in the formal dining room and entry. Best of all, the solution works like a charm to clean up the left over glue on the wall. Just be sure to leave the stripper sheets on for an adequate amount of time. I thought 30 minutes would be good, but found out that just being patient and leaving them on for 1 hour stripped the wallpaper with absolutely no effort and no damage to the wallboard underneath. Just be sure to keep them wet. A pump sprayer works and you don't have to buy the one on WalWik's site. The wallpaper literally came down in sheets, very little tearing. I then used the same pump sprayer that I had kept the sheets wet with and sprayed the walls once more before attempting to clean off the glue residue. I used a plastic scraper and gently scraped the remainder of the glue off. I then used a sponge and very warm water to wipe down the walls. The biggest secret is to be gentle and take your time. DON"T RUSH! That way you don't mess up the paper on the wallboard underneath. WalWik is as close to a miracle product as I have found. It really does live up to its claims. I stripped our 2 dressing areas and the bath, cleaned up the walls and had everything ready for my husband to texture in 2 days.

The concentrate, mixed with hot water in a hand sprayer, did a good job of quickly breaking down residual wallpaper glue, which I was able to then scrape off. It was a tedious, messy project, but successful. It was a pretty good value; I had to spray 2 or 3 times in most places, but after finishing the kitchen walls I still had a little concentrate left. The Chomp softened the old primer behind the glue, and I ended up peeling a lot of that off and leaving an uneven wall. So go easy with the scraper.

This product worked like it said, but it was messy- too runny- too watery if mixed up as directed. I made mine a little "stronger" and it was still too watery. I went to Wal-mart and bought this same brand in an already mixed up gel and it worked a whole lot better, plus it was less than $5.

Simple Strip Small Project Wallpaper removal Kit Review

Simple Strip Small Project Wallpaper removal Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have never done a product review before, but I feel obliged in this case because Wallwik can save so much time and effort.
I am renovating (DIY) a house that looked as if each room had been gift wrapped--wallpaper in all the main rooms, the closets, behind built in bookshelves, even on crawl-space covers. I started with the home remedies, because I am cheap--the vinegar, fabric softener, just pulling and peeling. When that didn't work I moved on to the DIF with the paper tiger. These work, but it is very labor intensive (my whole right side started to hurt) and very slow. I also did the steamer, which is about the same speed as DIF, but HOT, and really awkward in small spaces.
Then I found Wallwik. Fair to say it has saved me WEEKS in renovation time. You can do a big room in a day. It's really that good. Worth every penny.
Things I wish I had known before using Wallwik:
1. You have to follow the directions to the letter if you want it to work like magic. Watch the video on utube. Score the paper, spray the paper, put the sheets on, keep them wet, leave it on for 30 minutes (longer for multiple layers). If you skip any of the steps or don't leave it on for long enough you will think it doesn't work, but it DOES!
2. Buy the kit if you are just starting out--it has everything you need in one place.
3. The sheets can be reused (just rinse them) and cut up to fit small spaces.
4. Wallpaper removal professionals (and Home Depot) will claim not to know about Wallwik. Seriously.
Good luck, it's a messy job, but the walls look great after you are finished.

Zinsser 2966 PaperTiger Scoring Tool for Wallpaper Removal Single Head Review

Zinsser 2966 PaperTiger Scoring Tool for Wallpaper Removal Single Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife and I had some wallpaper and some border to strip so that we could repaint a bedroom and bath. In combination with a spray-on gel stripper, I used this scoring tool to help with the job. I found that it does a great job of easily scoring the paper and the resulting holes do allow the stripper gel to penetrate better. If I had anything negative to say it is that in a lot of cases this is unnecessary. By doing side by side tests, I was able to get as good of results by spraying the stripper onto un-scored border as I did when using the "paper tiger." In fact, at times the scored paper was more work to remove because it tore into smaller pieces during removal.
I think this tool will be great for removing heavy/commercial wallpaper or wallpaper that has been painted over, but I also think that it is overkill for an awful lot of home use situations...

Wagner Power Products 282018 1-Gallon Wallpaper Steamer Review

Wagner Power Products 282018 1-Gallon Wallpaper Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I went to buy the Wagner 705 and ended up with the Wagner 905 (about $95) because it had a trigger as well as a small nozzle for tight areas. For years, off and on, I had been renting wallpaper steamers at $39 per weekend. They are heavy and tend to trip my electric breakers. While they hold more water they spew steam constantly (not a good thing). The 905 has wheels, a long hose and the trigger allows you to put the steam where you want it, when you want it. It works great, not only for stripping wallpaper but also for getting the old glue off the walls and baseboards. I stripped a 12' x 16' bedroom with 9' ceilings in one long day that had five layers of wallpaper. I'm anexious to try the squeegee on glass windows.
