22490 PENCIL TORCH |
Nontoxic, water–reducible acrylic– or latex–based paint sticks to most surfaces and glows in the dark after only a brief exposure to bright ambient light. We have 1/2 oz bottles of acrylic–based yellow/green, 1 oz bottles of acrylic–based in the hard–to–find icy–blue color. The 1 oz and 2 oz colors will glow for up to 20 hours. Any will work great for Halloween costumes and hobby applications, and glow like crazy under blacklight. And without a single radionuclide! Amazing!

Glass beads, 0.055" diameter!! They are German and are the kind you glue on stuff to make it sparkle or reflective--not the kind with holes. At our price you could do layers in little bottles for really cool thingums!! We have 'em in clear and a whole host of colors. Craft stores sell tubes of these beads for a ruinous $4.00 per tube or about $3.35 per oz.. Well, we don't have the tube so you are going to get a baggie, but you only have to pay $1.00 per oz so jump up and down and clap your hands over such a great deal!! The only thing left is to choose what you need. In case you can't do that, we offer an assortment of (10) packages which will include clear plus at least six (6) different colors.

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.

This is a really heavy-gauge clear-plastic box 14-5/8" x 7-1/2" x 4-3/4" deep. Picture a large shoe box. The top and bottom are each about 2-1/2" deep, and overlap by 1/4" or so halfway up the sides. They're flat on the outside so the boxes can be stacked, or the (2) pieces separated and used as (2) deep trays. Why, you ask, do we have such a sterling item? Perhaps because it was originally made to be an organizer for 4" high cones of thread, so there are (3) rows of (6) "cups" 1-5/16" dia x 3/8" deep permanently set on the floor of the box, and matching smaller cups 5/8" dia x 3/8" deep on the inside of the top. You can take advantage of the cups to store cones of thread or anything else that size upright, or hold items off of the floor of the box while they drain - or you can ignore them and appreciate the box for its strength and beauty!

32861 PLASTIC BOX |
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. When a set of a dozen contains lavender, red and 10 other colors, it’s cool to the max. 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. An ideal carrying case for paints, many different screws, or other sets of small items or quantities that must remain separate. If you need slightly larger canisters, and a cardboard box will work instead of a carrying case, try our colorful display, anodized tins in great colors come in a set of (12) 2” dia x 7/8” deep. Prices are per set.

If you like bowls that say "Pretzels" and address books that say "Addresses," you'll love this 4" x 2-1/2" x 1-5/16" black-plastic box the says "MOM'S JEWELRY BOX" on it in white. It has a mirror on the inside of the hinged lid, a cheesy red liner, and a light-activated music box that plays a snatch of Beethoven - after you find the little electronic device under the removable lining and put in a couple of watch batteries (not included). If you're not into labeling, Mom can be rubbed out with a little denatured alcohol (along with any other letters you choose). Lift out the music module, and you're left with a snazzy black box you can use for storing any number of small items. And you thought it was going to be tacky!

A set of (10) 3mm x 140mm needle files - that translates to slightly over 5-1/2" long, including their orange-plastic handles. All are a medium-fine grain. They come in a soft-plastic storage case with the file profile pictured above each file. They're just neat things to have, and if you can't justify them any other way, consider that the assortment of flat, triangular, rat-tail and other shapes includes a couple that are perfect for the macho man who can't bring himself to use the nail file from a manicure set.
