Mouse Shield

What's to love: Expanding foam made by DAP that can be used to fill gaps and cracks in a house keeping out mice, birds and bats and cold air.

What does it do: When it turns colder in a few months, critters will be looking for a warm place to stay. Mouse Shield's expanding foam is made with an EPA-registered pesticide to not only block creatures and pests from entering a home, but deter and protect the foam from rodents. The foam can also be used to seal under sinks and around pipe and electrical openings inside the house. The foam is tack-free in 15 minutes and dry in four hours. List price is $13.77. More information is available at touch-n-foam.com.

WORX 20V Reciprocating Saw

What's to love: The saw can be used for a variety of home and yard projects with a change of the blade.

What does it do: Often used for demolition-type work, the reciprocating saw can also be used to cut metal, PVC pipe, tile and even tree limbs by selecting the appropriate blade for the job. Blades can be changed easily without tools. The saw has a 7/8 inches blade stroke with maximum cutting capacity of 7-inches in wood, 3-inches in PVC and 15/32 inches in steel. The saw has an ergonomic rubber grip handle, a lock-off switch to prevent accidental startups and an LED light to aid in viewing the work area. The saw sells for $99 and comes with a battery, charger and one woodcutting and one metal-cutting blade. For more information visit worx.com.
