Installing heavy doors and windows can be a lot easier with a Winbag. The small inflatable bag ($20) works like a blood-pressure cuff to help shim and temporarily hold windows and doors in place during installation. Unlike the inflatable bags carpenters have adapted from locksmiths, who use them for unlocking car doors, the Winbag is thinner (3/32 in.), so it’s a better fit for construction applications. According to the manufacturer, the device expands up to 2 in. and can exert up to 220 lb. of force. In addition to door and window installations, the tool can be used for temporarily leveling cabinets and appliances.
