OUR SELECTION OF DIY TOOLS.

We have

tested and selected a few good quality tools

that will be very useful to you in carrying out kinook based projects. Some of these tools are little-known and greatly simplify constructions based on our system.

Useful tools

Large spring clamp

A clamp with an opening large enough to firmly clamp 2 panels against a metal stud. Once the level settings have been adjusted, you have your hands free to precisely fix the panels in the metal frame.

Drywall bit

Use this screw head depth limiter to screw perfectly in plasterboards without drilling through them and also leave enough space to plug the head hole with compound.

Long screwdriver bits

When building with the Kinook system, it is often necessary to screw inside the C-studs, If the screwdriver bit is too short, the drill's chuck will rub and damage itself against the edges of the stud. These 5 cm long bits will prevent the chuck to touch the stud's edges.

Stud finder

Very useful for locating metal studs inside a partition wall or ceiling to securely attach a frame, shelf, etc.. When constructing a dropped ceiling box, locate metal studs in the ceiling and screw in the box studs. Easy to use, it can also detect electrical cables for connection or to avoid damaging a cable before drilling. Metal or even wooden beams can also be located.

Cutting tools

Precise and clean cuts are the key to any successful project. The Kinook team has selected a list of quality tools with which to perfectly and easily cut the different materials used in your construction .

Nibbler

Easy to operate, this nibbler will cut the studs precisely and will require only a minimum effort. The clean cuts made by the nibbler allow you to easily insert the Kinook blocks into C-studs. We recommend using a nibbler rather than a snip if you are a beginner.

Snip

Snip are sllightly more difficult to operate than nibblers. With a good technique, you will be able to cut through the C-studs rapidly.

Foldable Safety Knife
