Pull, Pull, Pull Your Boat
A nice pulley just ready to be combined into the block and tackle you need for tiny jobs, like trimming your bonsai trees or hauling your model boat out of the pond. Get this block with (1) sheave and rig up whatever you need. Each block has an aluminum frame about 3–1/2” long with “S” hooks on each end. The sheaves, or wheels are about 2” dia x 1/4” wide, with a “V” groove that looks perfect to handle 1/8” or smaller Venetian blind cord. These dudes are perfect for demonstrating mechanical advantage in the physics lab!! But not for heavy lifting.

A Snarl of Magnet Wire
One of those sharpie East Coast outfits pulled a fast one on this poor naive Midwestern dealer. The result is we have a pile of exotic coated copper magnet wire. The coatings and colors vary widely, as does the gauge of the wire. With a couple of exceptions there isn't enough of any one kind among the hundreds in the pile to list separately. So we are offering an assortment and you get whatever we grab. Either way you will get a terrific value, particularly if you have an exotic application and get just what you need. Even if you are just making a garden variety coil or electromagnet you will still find the prices are very good. So go ahead, profit from our misfortune. We are glad to be of service. Sigh.

AIRCRAFT CABLE
Stop picturing a fat cable you can use to tie down an airplane. This is great 20–strand twisted cable from the aircraft industry, but at 1/16” dia, it’s sized more for a Chicago Cub than a Piper Cub. The cable is high–quality stainless steel, unjacketed and very strong. Use it to hang extremely heavy mirrors, make repairs, create bendable metal sculptures! Order by 15–foot hanks. Enjoy!

Sew What?
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?

A Painful Choice
A thumbscrew, if you have an enemy with fat thumbs -- a thumbscrew-style hose clamp, if not. Metal, adjustable between 3/4" and 1-1/2". We suggest that this would be a good time to fix that leaky hose, before your wife starts eyeing your diphalangal digits.

Interesting Ceramics
Ceramic magnets, 15/16" dia x 3/16" thick. One side has a 5/16" sq that goes through to a steel plate is octagonal, 9/16" across with a 3/16" dia hole in the center. The plate allows flexible mounting of the 3/4 lb lift magnet. The other interesting feature is that the ceramic appears to have many poles around the rim, (4 ea N and S). This may be a focussing effect of the insert, though.

Wonder Magnet
Absolutely magnificent magnet!! Very strong - we estimate it has a 35 lb. pull - neodymium-iron-boron (rare earth) that is only about 3/4” x 1-1/8” x 7/16” thick. It is actually trapezoidal, so the 1-1/8” dimension slants from 1” to 1-1/4”. They are pretty clean take-outs, painted silver, white or black, and may have some very small chips. Be careful!! These guys will murder a computer or audio/video tape. A pair will leap into a deadly embrace from over 6” apart and may knock chips off themselves from the force of their impact!! A single magnet holds (4) of our catalogs (11 oz, 5/16” thick) to the side of a steel file cabinet. We cannot say too much in favor of this magnet!!

Well, I'll Be Hanged
Which is what happens to swivel hooks. Because I can then swivel and turn without ever unscrewing myself from the ceiling and dropping stuff on your head, on account of I know you hate that. And I come with a buddy just like me-we're a matched set of swivel-style ceiling hooks in black-coated aluminum with 1/2" wide openings. And we come with a pair of wood screws plus a bonus set of 2-1/2" toggle bolts, in case the ceiling isn't up to doing its part.
