Yes, they do, but i use tiny jewelers tools for lots of things. A Screw Extractor Can Save the Day One wants to tighten bolts tight enough so they won't come loose. However, if the bolts are tightened too much, they could break. There it is, a bolt broken off, with none of the bolt threads remaining above the surface. How do you get the broken stud out? A screw extractor will do the job. A hole is drilled into the broken stud, the screw extractor is placed into the hole, and the screw extractor is tightened in the broken stud with a left-handed motion. The reverse threads on the screw extractor back the broken stud out of the hole. It would be better to have a screw extractor set on hand than have to rush to buy a screw extractor when you need one.

Epoxies Epoxies are a somewhat mysterious class of material that home repair enthusiasts should be familiar with. They can be used to bond, fill, patch, and repair a wide range of materials. Typically they come in two parts that must be mixed together, starting a chemical reaction that yields a tough material that can be cut, drilled, or sanded when fully cured. Epoxies come in a wide range of consistencies and curing times, and the one you choose depends on your project. One common application in home repair is the filling and repair of rotted windowsills. Rather than remove and replace sills, they can be repaired in place with epoxy fillers and sanded and painted to match the original. Repair and rebuilding of decorative trim pieces is another application for epoxies when replacement parts are not available.

on http://www.athome-tv.com episode 102 I saw an incredible tool. You've seen the simple mitre box and back saw. There's an electric miter box version of this. You can cut 45 degrees. Well, combine this with a radial arm saw and you have a "rail saw". Add dual compound to that and you have the next grade up. Dual Slide Dual Compound Mitre Saw is the final evolution of this. Makita makes it and it's $699. Now, that's some tool.
