These easy-install home finds require zero tools, all for $25 or less - chof 360 news

I don't know about you, but as we creep closer and closer to spring, I start to take inventory of things in my home that could use a refresh — from light fixtures to organizational solutions. But, as someone who isn't particularly handy, anything that requires tools for installation gets a big fat no from me. There are other things I'd rather spend time and money on than a complex assembly project, which is why I so appreciate the existence of easy-install products like the ones on this list. Oh, and if you're a renter (or simply care about aesthetics), you won't have to worry about drilling holes into your walls. Just stick 'em on with some adhesive and you're good to go.

From a space-saving under-cabinet paper towel holder to a No. 1-bestselling set of curtain rod brackets, these problem solvers will help elevate your home in a snap. And as if that weren't enough, each and every one of 'em is under $25. Go ahead and tell your hammer and screwdriver that their services are not needed at this time.

Easy to install and the brightness is perfect — you can adjust that too. I love how you can pop them off the magnets and use them like a flashlight. My friends and family loved them so much that they bought them too."
