One of the first things I've been doing in the new house is updating all the old toggle style light switches with Decoras, and have been replacing a lot of light fixtures and worn outlets as well, and my Klein circuit breaker finder has been indispensable. Plug the transmitter into any outlet or light fixture, and it will locate the corresponding breaker.

Shortly after we moved into our old house nearly 20 years ago, my mother in law stopped by after she was at the home show and dropped off some paperwork about a ladder she had bought for me called a Little Giant. I looked it over and thought "oh god, how much did she waste on this gimmicky POS?"
Well, not a cent, as that ladder has been incredible. It's fully adjustable, you can offset it to use in a stairway, it has a work platform, and is sturdy as hell. They've cheapened them up a bit over the years, but mostly to make them lighter as mine is quite heavy.

Another purchase for the new home was this Samsung gas range. It was the wife's choice and so far it has exceeded her expectations. I've never used it, but hey, if she's happy, I'm happy
