Good tools if you're struggling

 -  Others
It is normal for tools to increase with progress or to be purchased for better tools.
But in my case, it is essential to buy tools and equipment to compensate for my physical disability, which is very difficult.

We don't know what it takes to do unknown (ignorant) work, much less what it takes to do it.
The hand press machine I decided to buy after worrying about such tools.

After much consideration, I have decided that a caulking system is the best for me to connect the net basket and the handle, but I have some concerns.
As a former carpenter, familiarity with tapping is a thing of the past, and now both hands are so strong that the subtle sensations are dull and I can't tap well. So when I was having trouble finding another way to fasten it, I found a hand press machine.
I checked and this is indeed an easy way to fasten it.
But the price... The hand press machine is only the main unit, and the other striking pieces used are sold separately, again at a price of...
I'm really lost...

But I decided to buy it if I could save a little time!
The hand press arrived, and when I put it on the work table, the table was scratched, and I didn't want it to be scratched every time I moved it, so I used a piece of timber from home and fixed it with screws to make a base.
This will put you in a position to try it out.
The first test was to try sandwiching one 21 mm Fortuna pearl between two-sided caulk (medium) purchased from the local Pandora House.
It was easy, as described by users of hand presses.

This makes it possible for me, who has a limp hand, to fasten the handles.
In the future I am for tools

'If you're worried, you won't regret it, a good tool'

It was a hand press machine that made people think.

OK! This should make good handholding!
The rest is your uncle's sense of style.
But this is hard to solve with money ...
