ChordSavers Floor Cord Covers

What’s to love: Cord covers tough enough to walk on and that match your wood floors.

What’s it do: Hate tripping over electrical cords, but also hate the idea of putting an ugly cord cover on the floor?

These cord covers from CableOrganizer.com are made from rigid PVC and come in three wood tones: light oak, dark oak and cherry. There is also a natural wood color that can be stained for a more exact match to your floor. The ChordSavers grip the floor with a no-skid rubber backing.

Prices start at $21.99 for a 3-foot length.

Good-Bye Cracks

What’s to love: Spray on crack repair.

What’s it do: Patching plaster or drywall often seems like a temporary fix, with cracks reappearing as a house continues to settle. With this product you repair the crack as normal, then spray Good-Bye Cracks over the area. It dries to a flexible cover that conforms to the surface and stretches with any new stress. Once dried, the surface can be painted. A 4-ounce aerosol can sells for $4.99.
