Testing a Specialty Hand Sanding Kit. Nathan demonstrated the 20 piece Hand Sanding Block Set Hook and Loop Interchangeable Assorted Shapes, which is manufactured by Tool Guy Republic and can be found through online retailers.

How to Safely Replace a Ceiling Light. Heath clarified that a home with older wiring should be checked by an electrician before a new ceiling fixture is installed. Cable marked with ""NMB"" complies with modern code and can handle fixtures up to 90o C, whereas ""NM"" cable or any older wiring should use fixtures rated up to 60 oC.

Heath installed the 12"" Oil Rubbed Bronze 2Light Ceiling Light, manufactured by Hinkley Lighting.

Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Eaton and Eastman Electric.

How to Choose a Masonry Trowel. Mark demonstrated a variety of masonry trowels, which were all manufactured by The Bon Tool Company.

Build It | Tool Storage Shelf. Tom built the tool storage cabinet out of leftover materials from previous Build It projects, including 3/4inch oak plywood, 1x12inch select pine, and 1/4inch birch plywood. These can all be found at home centers and lumber yards if you don't have enough material in your scrap pile.

To cut the boards to the correct dimensions, Tom used a TS 55 circular saw from Festool. He then secured everything together using GRK #9 2inch multipurpose screws from GRK Fasteners and some wood glue from Gorilla Glue.

The kit that Tom and Kevin referenced and used as inspiration for their tool storage organization was the M18 18V Cordless Combo Tool Kit by Milwaukee Tool.
