I just love working with tools, whether they are physical tools or virtual tools.

It has to be a fixation I had from early childhood days watching my Dad as a ship maker working with hand made tools carved out of wood, the days before plastic and commercially available made tools for his industry became readily available.

Using tools to make things always intrigued me.

I guess this why I chose a career in Design Engineering.

Working in this field our mantra was always Form, Fit and Function.

Just recently over a telephone conversation my good friend Alan Brandt and I where discussing different approaches to how we do SEO work and results.

When I asked “Alan what tools do you use day to day that help you with your activities”

Alan rattled off a list of must have tools he couldn’t live without.

Just this morning I had a problem removing a tool from my PC that was giving me problems to the point I couldn’t even remove it from my registry.

Then all of a sudden, I remembered the list of tools Alan had emailed me and I wanted to share this one with you.

Here is a description of an Uninstaller that Alan sent me. The good thing about this its FreeWare from Snapfiles.

Revo Uninstaller | uninstall and clean-up utility | Our Rating: 4 stars | User Rating: 5 34 reviews | FREEWARE |
Revo Uninstaller is an uninstall utility that includes additional system clean-up tools. It provides an alternate interface for the Windows Add/Remove software dialog that offers web search options, access to registry keys and some additional commands. The program also includes a startup manager to inspect and disable programs that start automatically as well as a privacy cleaner to remove Internet traces, a secure deletion tool and an option to find and remove files, folders and registry keys that were left behind during uninstall. Revo Uninstaller comes with a unique `Hunter Mode` that allows you to uninstall a program, search for information on the web or perform other actions by simply dragging a target over the program or shortcut icon on your desktop.   source: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/revouninstaller.html

I installed this program and in no time I had the difficult to remove program removed!!

I liked this so much I just had to share this, it saved me time messing with having to find a way to get rid of a pesky tool that was not working properly.

Since I like this so much, I also had it scan for junk files.

WOW!!!!

I couldn’t believe all the junk files that showed up. I use CCleaner daily to clean up my drive, but REVO found files that CCleaner never found. Great tool, REVO.

A word of caution. Any tool I mention always, always check it out with caution. I can’t be responsible how any tool is going to perform on anyone’s system. If you don’t know how to do a backup or protect yourself don’t try this, you never know how any of these tools will perform on anyone’s system.

I am going to try to share a new tool as frequent as possible on this blog.

I welcome anyone to contact me and share any tool that can be a time saver. If you have any of your own products that readers can benefit just contact me and I will review them and see if they fit with the blogs intent.
