If you have a camera with a lens cap, then you know well the lengths you have to go through in order to make sure that you don’t lose the cap.  My solution is usually to put it in my back pocket, but I’m always afraid I’m going to break the cap that way.  I’d rather not have to replace a lens cap that costs anywhere from $20 on up to $40.  Instead you can make one of these Lens Cap Keepers for no cost. The steps are pretty simple, you use plastic from a shampoo bottle or something along those lines.  Then you print out the template and tape it to your flattened plastic piece.  The rest is pretty basic and thankfully none of the tools you’ll need are out of the ordinary.  The only one that might give people problems is a hole puncher, but you can substitute that with a drill.  There’s a full tutorial as well as printable templates that you can check out

When you’re trying to do odd jobs around the house, it’s nice to have a few little tools around to make things a lot easier.  These Autoloader screwdrivers allow for you to go from job to job without having to make a run to the toolbox for a different sized screwdriver.  It adds just enough convenience that it’d be great for anyone that’s constantly having to do 10 things at once. The screwdriver has six interchangeable bits built into the handle in both Phillips and flathead form.  It has a pump action design that allows for the bits to be changed out automatically.  Each of the tips are magnetic as well, to make hanging onto screws easier.  These screwdrivers are sold in sets of two, one with smaller bits and the other with larger ones.  Although this isn’t something you’d buy for a guy who owns every tool ever created, it might actually be a great gift for someone moving into their first home.  You can purchase the set for $29.99 from Amazon

Panasonic has just introduced its latest LUMIX family member – the DMC-GF1, where it is touted to be the smallest and lightest system digital camera in the world to feature a built-in flash. What makes the LUMIX DMC-GF1 different from its predecessors would be an elegant, compact design that does hark back to the older days of classic film cameras, although it boasts state of the art innards by building upon Panasonic’s success with the revolutionary LUMIX G Series of digital interchangeable lens system cameras based on the Micro Four Thirds system standard.

If you are in construction, TV reporting, or any other job that requires you to bring expensive tools to another location, then you know the frustration of leaving tools behind. On a somewhat related note, I left a camera behind at a wedding that I went to last week, and all I could think was: “oh, I should have done a quick inventory of my things before I just drove off”
