Kit revamps string trimmerA new retrofit kit lets you replace your string trimmer's monofilament line with a four-line blade-cutting system.
The line blades in the Aero-Flex Universal Kit are made of co-polymers and are touted as lasting 50 times longer than traditional nylon monofilament line. The company says they're tough enough to cut through heavy weeds that strings can't, but flexible enough that they can glance off hard surfaces without breaking.
The blades also produce less drag, so the trimmer can operate with less power at lower speeds.
The Aero-Flex Universal Kit sells for $29.97 at Lowe's stores, or it can be ordered for $29.95 plus shipping at www.aero-flex.com.

Bathroom kits ease renovationBath Simple's bathroom-in-a-box kit streamlines the process of designing a bathroom.
You start by creating a virtual room on the company's website, choosing from a few predetermined designs and a limited selection of options. The company then ships you a box containing all the fixtures and materials needed for the remodeling.
The installation can be done by a contractor certified by Bath Simple or one of your own choosing -- or by yourself, if you're a serious do-it-yourselfer. Once the project is complete, the old fixtures and construction waste can be returned in the same box for recycling.
