Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $18.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

Hemostats are the clamplike devices dangling from veins and arteries in melodramatic operating scenes. Our particular collection are Pakistani surgical-grade instruments made of magnetic stainless steel. As such we rate them pretty good, but not fantastic. Hemostats look like little pliers. The jaws are relatively fine, with rounded tips. The inside faces are lightly serrated to get a grip on tubing or body plumbing. And the handles are much longer than the jaws. Now the heavenly part. Great hobby clamps that can be worked into small areas. Fine heat sinks for electronics. Good hook extractors for trout fisherpeople. Excellent tubing clamps for flow-sensitive chemistry experiments. Sizes are approximate length.

Just a basic common phone line. 25 feet long, flat, 4-wire, ivory casing. Nothing at the ends: you attach the modular plugs, spade plugs, or incorporate it into your imaginative electrical contraptions. We'll keep the price basic, too.

Individual cases for 3–1/2” computer discs. The nice thing about these is that they are stiff enough to protect the disc but just flexible enough not to be brittle and break the way most “jewel” cases do. Red, blue, purple or gold, all are translucent enough to read interior labels. We pick your color.

So your local highway department guys think they have the corner on crossing signs? Well, they may know what's crossing their road, but do they really know what's cutting across your driveway or patio, or through your personal space at home or at work? Mount your own well-made indoor/outdoor critter crossing sign. Each is metal, 12" square, painted traffic yellow with a black border and realistic animal or other graphics.

Plop this cork sheet into any of your projects. Quite flexible, 12" x 36", just 1/16" thick. That's pretty thin for a bulletin board, but just right for making yourself a cork wardrobe, or providing designer soundproofing in your Media Room. Use a sheet as a soft base for delicate model building, or craft a raft; cork floats, you know.

A fine concept and pretty successful execution. Weighted bases hold fully adjustable clips and lenses for delicate hands–free work. The Helping Hand w/solder has a 2” high base connected to (2) alligator clips via (3) universal joints and a 4–1/2" sliding beam, and to a 2–1/2" dia roughly 3X magnifier via another universal joint on the sliding beam. It also adds a holder for your soldering iron, plus a hole and thumbscrew in the base to firmly position it. The larger Work Stand has a 3–1/2” x 4–3/4” stand with a 2–3/4” square x 3/8” deep reservoir to hold small parts, an L–shaped sliding beam with (2) alligator clips, and another L-shaped beam with a 3–1/2” lens, about 4X magnification. Joints adjust every which way. The set screws can all be hand–tightened, but we suggest a small pliers to secure the hefty 4X lens. Think of the clips as extra hands to hold wires, components, beads, what-have-you while you perform some operation on them with your own two hands.

Our aluminum canisters with clear glass pull–off lids are cool. The smallest canisters are aluminum–colored, a set of (20) 1–1/4” dia x 3/4” deep in a 6–1/2” x 5–1/4” x 7/8” lightweight aluminum box with a hinged lid. When the box is shut, a layer of foam padding inside the lid presses down on the canisters, keeping them securely closed. If you need slightly larger canisters, and a cardboard box will work instead of a carrying case, try our colorful display of anodized tins. They are packaged in sets of (12) and come in great assorted colors and are 2” dia x 7/8” deep. Each is an ideal carrying case for paints, many different screws, or other sets of small items or quantities that must remain separate. Prices are per set.

This dustpan will sweep you off your feet. Forget those wimpy plastic jobs - if this had a longer handle, it would qualify as a shovel. It is enameled steel, 17" wide x 10" deep, with a slight retaining lip 3/4" in from the front edge. The handle is an 8" tubular loop, shaped to let you get a good grip on it. It's industrial equipment, but perfect for your basement or garage, or for cleaning up after your St. Bernard.
