As a DIY addict, having the right gear is essential for success–or at least, it makes it a heck of a lot easier. I’ve been lucky enough to try out a few of the products from No Cry Gear, and they have been game-changers.

The tool belt offers an assortment of pockets for all your DIY projects, with the largest one capable of holding a drill or hammer.

The knee pads…wow. These kneelers are a dream–especially for someone with no cartilage in the left knee. For long projects, they velcro–and stay–in place. For quick, unexpected moments, they fit right in my tool bag. I grab them and place them under my knees.

The latest addition to my No Cry Gear is the paint sprayer. I am in AWE of how easy this has made my life.

And, if you’ve caught any of my projects, chances are you’ve seen my protective eyewear. The tint is perfect for making it easier to see–it brightens your surroundings. Forget rose-colored glasses. I’m such a big fan of the view, I’m making up a new saying: Looking at the world through copper-colored glasses. Another thing I love–maybe even more? The grip they have on the sides of my head. There’s no pressure, but they don’t move or slide.
