You'll take care of it as soon as your new tools get here.

Ah, springtime. Yeah. Great. Flowers and bunnies and all that crap. Pardon our lack of enthusiasm. After the last couple of months, we know we should be grateful that there’s scarcely a frozen patch of ground in the lower 48. But the end of winter also means the end of our best excuse for not doing all those pesky tasks around the house.

If you’re feeling that same dread, here’s a new excuse: you’ll take care of it as soon as your new tools get here.

Cleaning the garage? Sure, but it doesn’t make much sense to organize everything when you don’t know how much space you’ll need for your new 23-piece precision screwdriver set, your 9-piece interchangeable screwdriver set, your hex key set, your jab saw, and your 3-piece retrieval set. You’ll take care of the garage as soon as your new tools get here.

That back gate that keeps sticking? Probably just some screws or bolts that need tightening up. But how are you supposed to find the right size screwdriver bit or hex key in that messy garage? One of these Vermont American sets will have the right bit. You’ll take care of the gate as soon as your new tools get here.

Installing that new outlet you need by your computer? That’ll be really fun, yeah, totally. You just can’t wait to cut a hole in the drywall. Whee. But darn the luck, you need a jab saw for that. No, not the jab saw you already have, if you have one - a nice new one with a sharp edge. You’ll take care of the outlet as soon as your new tools get here.

That rattling sound the washing machine makes? Sounds like a screw that fell out, bouncing around inside the chassis. You need one of those long claw arms, or a magnet on a telescoping stem, or at least a mirror on a stick to see what’s going on. You’ll take care of the rattle as soon as your new tools get here.

Cleaning your gutters? Uh, well, none of these Vermont American tools will help you with that. But this job isn’t really the highest priority, and it doesn’t make sense to skip all those urgent jobs above to take care of this less urgent one. This one can wait until after you’ve done those other ones. You’ll take care of the gutters as soon as your new tools get here.

Just put your mind to it and you’ll see: there’s no household project you can’t delay or evade while you’re waiting for your new Vermont American tools to arrive. We promise we’ll ship them nice and slow.
