Proof of the power of proximity! Just pass your tweezers, screwdriver shaft, or bit through the designated opening in this 2" x 1-7/8" x 1-1/8" tool and magnetize -- or demagnetize -- said tweeze, shaft or bit. Is this what Benjamin Franklin meant when he said, "He that lies down with dogs shall rise up with fleas?" Proximity rules.

92319 MAG/DEMAGNETIZER |
A precision drafting compass too fine to be listed as a school or art supply. This is definitely a tool. The flashy-plastic Helix drafting compass draws a maximum radius of over 6" and comes with attachments to hold thick lead, thin lead, a pencil or a cutting knife, and with extra lead, an eraser, and a classy, clear-plastic storage box. Our "better" model has aluminum legs, is 7-5/8" long, and has a thumbwheel adjustment. Priced so far below list that you can afford to buy one as a school or art supply.

The clever devils at Zircon® Tools designed this ultra-compact 4-way bubble and laser level. It's a 2-7/16" dia plastic sphere (think racquetball) with a backlit 3/4" sq bubble level and a 5mW red laser built in. You mount the little metal cup on the wall with one of the (12) included self-adhesive pads, then pop the level into the cup where a magnet holds it while you turn it to plumb or level. Includes (3) button cell batteries.

For internal combustion diagnoses, our auto mechanic's stethoscope features a 2-piece metal probe that's 11-1/2" long OA, instead of the little circular diaphragm you find on the people-doctors' version. The instrument is 22-1/2" long without the probe. Made with PVC housing, vinyl tubing, a steel probe and aluminum/rubber ear pieces.

93127 MECH. STETHOSCOPE |
A telescoping arm rather like a car radio antenna holds an alnico magnet at the end via a double ball joint. Closed is 5/16" dia x 5-1/2" long, perfect for a shirt pocket, right down to the clip. Open it is just under 2 ft long including the swivel head, perfect for fishing under the radiator, in the depths of the bilge or at the back of the rattler's cage.

We've had our eye on this macho needle kit. It includes (7) steel needles: (1) 1-3/4" for leather, (1) 1-3/4" for carpet, (1) 2-1/4" for sails, (2) 3" needles, one for packing and one for canvas, and (2) 2-1/8" dia curved needles, one for mattresses and one for lampshades. All right. So maybe you can use the lampshade needle to sew up softballs. May we suggest you stick these on one of our magnets, so you always know where they are?

91861 REPAIR NEEDLES |
The size of a pen when retracted, this telescoping pickup tool has a 1/2" dia magnet on the business end, and a pocket clip on the other end. The 5-3/8" long gold- and silver-colored version extends to 27 -3/4" OA and has an 8-lb pull. The 4 -3/8" long type with the black case extends to only 22" OA and has only a 5-lb pull, but the wand's last 2 -1/2" is a flexible spring - and being able to bend around a corner can make up for being a few inches shorter.

91300 EXTENDIBLE MAG PICK UP |
Cheap enough to buy a bunch and toss 'em away after small jobs-or equip a bunch of helpers. The 6-piece painter's set includes a 9" dia drip dish with clips to hold quart or gallon cans; a vented 11-1/2" long stir stick and small brush, both of which clip to the side of paint cans; a scraper with a snap-open cover and a removable blade; plus two foam brushes, 1" and 2". All in easy-to-find bright orange plastic, and the drip dish doubles nicely as a flying disc toy during coffee breaks.

Okay, we know you need 200 feet of yellow guideline twine on a handy spindle to mark lot lines and excavations and archeological digs and other very serious locations - but we hope you're smart enough to save at least one of these for a windy day and go kiting.
