Having a big-ass tool set is all well and good, but when you can have the most popular sockets on hand in just one tool, why bother? The Black & Decker Ready Wrench ($30) offers exactly that, with 16 of the most popular sockets — in both standard and metric — on rotating heads on either end of the tool, ready to replace both one- and two-inch deep sockets. With a rubber grip for added comfort, it'll let you save the big tool set for those really tough jobs — like assembling Ikea furniture.

While we might not know exactly what seven functions the sleek Gerber Shard ($8) will provide, we know enough to know we'll be on the pre-order list as soon as it's available. The lightweight, airline-safe keychain tool offers at the minimum a bottle opener, screwdriver, and nail puller, with a titanium nitride coating for corrosion resistance.

Whether you're a lawn care professional or just a guy with a big yard, you can get it cut quickly and greenly with the Cub Cadet Z Force S ($5,500-$6,500; 2010). As the first zero-turn riding mower with a steering wheel instead of lap bars, the Z Force S' wheel controls both the front wheels and the independently controlled back wheels for greater maneuverability, and boasts features like 48- or 60-inch triple-blade fabricated heavy duty decks, a dual hydrostatic transmission, and an optional liquid propane version that can cut your fuel costs by up to 30 percent while reducing emissions. Probably overkill if you don't have at least an acre and a half.

Whether you're sanding, carving, engraving, cutting, polishing, or cleaning, you're going to want the Dremel 4000 ($80-$150). As Dremel's new top-of-the-line model, the 4000 is the company's best rotary tool yet, sporting a variable speed range of 5,000 to 35,000 rotations per minute, compatibility with all Dremel accessories, new motor technology to provide more feel with less effort, electronic feedback control to ensure consistent power, a 360-degree grip zone with pencil-grip nose cap, a separate on/off switch and speed dial, and more.

Forget smashed fingers and the lovely sight of a near-decapitated mouse in the morning — ditch your traditional traps for the Victor Mousetrap ($130). Preferred by exterminators for its unmatched dependability, the Victor uses peanut butter or bacon bits to lure the rodent into the trap, where three electrically charged plates sense its presence and kill it instantly. Once the deed is done, the trap automatically rotates and dumps the mouse in a receptacle, resetting for the next customer.

We all know how handy duct tape is, but even we grow tired of its old grey look. Maine Guide Duct Tape ($13/2-pack) solves this problem by adding a stately green or red plaid pattern to the legendary fix-all, and while it's supposed to be for "sportsmen," we think it'll work just as well for fashion-conscious homeowner handymen.

Leave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
