Many people are planning home improvement projects in 2022, and these technologies can help you succeed. Whether you are buying new gear for your own project or looking for the perfect gift for someone who likes DIY, these gadgets are the perfect choice for everything from upgrading home security to expanding garage workstations. Internet of Things devices and smart tools provide particularly exciting features that will make you ring in your new home in the new year.

1. Corsair Flash Survivor USB Drive

Corsair Flash Survivor is the ultimate USB thumb drive. It is made of aviation-grade aluminum, which is waterproof, anti-vibration, anti-vibration and shock resistance. Flash Survivor is compatible with all major operating systems, including the latest version of Windows. It uses USB 3.0 but is also suitable for USB 2.0 systems, so it should be compatible with any computer you use to access files.

As if Survivor is not nearly indestructible, it also comes with a five-year warranty. When doing home renovation projects, this USB flash drive is very suitable to carry around, because you don't need to worry about it being damaged by any dropped tools or parts, or even accidentally dunking in the sink.

2. Incredibulb Silicone Shatterproof LED Bulb

When upgrading your house, the last thing you want is a broken light bulb. Incredibulb was invented to eliminate the risk of glass shattering caused by broken bulbs. It has an innovative silicone bulb that is easy to bend and bend while springing back to its shape. Since Incredibulb is also an LED, it can be used for several years without replacement. Incredibulb is also cool to the touch, especially suitable for people with children.

After the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, everyone began to pay more attention to cleanliness. Convenient UV disinfectants such as SurfaceSoap Handheld are very suitable for keeping workshops and homes clean and virus-free. UV disinfectants have been around for many years and are mainly used in hospitals. Since the rise of COVID-19, personal UV disinfectants have become more and more popular due to their convenience and effectiveness. The disinfectant emits ultraviolet rays to the surface it points to, thereby killing 99% of bacteria and viruses.

You can find this home improvement gadget on your smartphone. The myTracks GPS logger application is very useful for those working on larger home renovation projects, such as installing new fences or drawing property boundaries. It is available from the Google Play Store and Apple AppStore, and is one of the top apps for landscape projects and design.

It allows you to easily track the path while walking, for example along the perimeter of your property, with features such as altitude, travel distance and accurate map overlay. Although you can use in-app microtransactions to add features, the app can use its basic feature set for free.

The DIY whiteboard can easily create a fully customized whiteboard for your home improvement projects. Whiteboards are great for brainstorming and developing new ideas. For example, maybe you are considering adding an extension to your home. The whiteboard allows you to try different floor plans for newly added items without having to leaf through paper or use an expensive tablet. Your DIY whiteboard can be whatever you want, it can be made of wood, or even cool transparent plexiglass.

6. Bosch Blaze Laser Rangefinder

Bosch Blaze Pro is a home improvement technology from the house of the future. The distance measurer uses a laser to scan the measurement value to within 1/16 inch, up to 165 feet. If you move while measuring, it will even adjust in real time. Blaze is small enough to fit in most pockets, and is equipped with a backlit color display, which contains some special features, such as calculating the square of the measured value. It even has splash and dust resistance, and is strong enough to withstand the harsh conditions of any major home renovation project.

7. Universal tool digital goniometer

The universal tool digital angle finder is ideal for home improvement projects that require precise wood cutting. Whether you are building a new bunk bed for kids or upgrading your back deck, a digital goniometer can easily and accurately measure your wood supply. It has a sliding T-shaped slope and LCD for quick and easy reading. The digital angle finder can even store your measurements and calculate the reverse angle.

8. DIY smart home security system

Smart home security systems are becoming more and more popular. However, the IoT home security system does not have to cost a lot of money or require professionals to install it. There are many affordable DIY home security systems to choose from today, and they will bring a huge upgrade to your home in 2022. With so many systems on the market, you can easily find the right function for your home. Some even include 24/7 professional monitoring services or full customization.

While adding new features to your house or apartment, home improvement technology will be fun to use. These technologies and gadgets can make the process smoother and more user-friendly, paving the way for all your planned 2022 projects.
