Cool Tools!

Am I the only one here addicted to the show "Cool Tools" on the DIY Network?

I'm sick of it. Seems like it is all that is on DIY channel lately.

I like the show's concept, and have learned a few things ... but I really don't care for the 'personality' of the host and that has kept me from being a regular viewer.

+1 Grundy's 7th grade approach to everything tied with the "infomercial" nature of the show bugs me.

Jason,

I am afraid you may be one of the few on here who like "Cool Tools."

I take it you didn't get your fill over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The concept of the show is nice and I have seen some nice stuff on it.

But running 4 days straight of it, repeating episode after episode finally broke me. A more knowledgeable/ less obnoxious host would help.

DIY is shoving the show down your throat and beating everyone into submission until you like it.

I wish they would run a marathon of NYW and Woodworks over Christmas. Never know...it might actually turn some people on to our craft.

Until then I am stuck watching WW video blogs online.

Watched it one time - that was enough. I don't need to watch an infomercial on my hobby. And-- the host is terrible.

Unfortunately, the sponsorship money on those type of shows is huge, so we will probably see more of them. It costs $$ to produce and run the really good shows, and they can only sell 8 minutes of available ad time for a 30 min. show. Cool Tools is all ad, so the money has to be much better.

[Matt Ocel]

Watched it once. Thats all I needed.

[Jim Butterfield]

I've tried to watch it several times, but it's way too much hype -- and having a caffeine-addicted host takes it over the top for me.

I did see a torch stone cutter that was kind of cool on CT... No idea what I'd use it for. But, other than that, its pretty much been old hat.

I think so yes.

CALM DOWN, QUIT YELLIN', STOP JAMMIN' HIS HANDS TOGETHER, OPEN HIS EYES, and get some decent CONTENT, then it would be a good show for people who want a battery operated tape measure.
There.....I feel much better.

I've watched a few episodes -- mostly having it in the background when I'm online. Now, if the host were Amy Matthews, I'd be addicted for sure!

[Craig McCormick]

I like it in small doses.

Saw a few minutes of it when I didn't want to watch "Ace of Cakes" on Food Network HD. I didn't really see anything too "kewel" from a tool standpoint and yes, the host is somewhat "in your face", although that's typical for a lot of this kind of programming these days...including on Food Network HD which is about the only thing I watch outside of the news.
