Dr.Pen Flexible Drain Clog Removal Tool

Don’t get us wrong: It’s always a good idea to have the number of a reputable plumber stored in your phone. But when the occasional oops or minor clog happens, this drain tool can save the day without an expensive service call. Slip the slender, flexible tubing into the blocked drain, then press the plunger on the handle to activate the claws to grip the offending object. This handy gadget is budget-friendly enough to keep one underneath every sink in your home in case of emergency.

Zulay Kitchen Silicone Utensil Rest

While a spoon rest is useful, it typically holds only just one spoon, ladle, or spatula neatly at a time. Home chefs will love the genius design of this silicone utensil rest that can take on multiple items during whirlwind meal prep. You can slide in up to four items, especially when you rest them on their sides. The BPA-free silicone mat is heat-resistant and dishwasher-safe, so feel free to splash it with all the sauce and gravy. It comes in more than 20 colors, so it will fit every kitchen palette.

Classy Casita Soil Moisture Meter

No house plant will go overwatered or underwatered on your watch, thanks to this nifty soil moisture meter. Simply insert the probe in the dirt—you can even use it outside in your garden—to get a reading on the soil levels. Then, proceed with a hydration schedule ideal for that particular plant’s needs. This compact hygrometer doesn’t require batteries, so it’ll always be ready for a soil test, plus it comes with a free downloadable guide on proper plant care.

The best household tools are as useful as they are budget-friendly. Keep scrolling to find more clever home and garden gadgets, all on Amazon for under $15.
