Mayhew Select 41500 Tweaker Multi-Use Tool
It doesn't look like much, but it will amaze you with what it can do to a twisted 2-by-4. Its jaw end fits snugly around the offending 2-by lumber, and with relatively little effort on your part, it twists the turned wood into place, allowing you to nail with your free hand, keeping it well clear of the inbound fastener. It's pretty much genius, as far as we're concerned, and we've been told that once it's used, it's indispensable.The Tweaker is solid steel, and as such, it is not light to tote around. And it doesn't feel great hanging from a toolbelt, either. But we think once you give this a turn on a uncooperative board, you'll be hooked, and you'll overlook its heft and take it everywhere you might meet up with a twisted piece of timber.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
