ExpandaSpatula
The bigger flipper. For when dad's pancakes get out of hand, or you've got bigger fish to fry. Our steel spatula starts with a 6-1/8" long x 2-1/2 wide surface, but pull the little trigger and it fans out to a width of 6". Has a contoured plastic handle, round holes in the spatular part, and measures 13" long OA. Also makes a handy expandable pocket ping-pong paddle.

Drainer Disks
With many, many other uses. Myriad uses, we tell you. There must be, given what they look like, and what our customers get up to. Our each is a set of (3) clear plastic concave disks at 5-3/8", 5-7/8", and 6-1/2" dia, each with (16) 5/8" holes and a removable white silicone gasket on the circumference. Made to put in the bottom of a bowl (curved side up) so salads, fruit, seafood, or whatever won't sit in its own dressing, juice or melted ice. Or you might want to make clear speaker guards, flower frogs, sunburst-style pencil holders, lamp parts, air vents for acrylic hamster habitats, alien hats, mouthpieces for robots, flowers for your acrylic garden. Send us a pic.

You Can Buy These For A Tong
Our very first-ever multi-use white-plastic tong set could be used, we suppose, for serving salads (their intended purpose) but they'd also make dandy rib cages for skeletal models, scary claws for a costume designer, huge barrettes for the over-coiffed diva, pasta servers, or very effective head-scratchers. They're 6" long x 3-3/4" wide, with (3) big prongs and short, horizontal grips that make them eminently packable for picnics. Our package of (2) is really a package of (2) pairs. Which is good, considering how multitalented they are.

Picasso's Pal
This clever little artist's brush holder/cleaner will keep those oil or watercolor brushes standing up (or down) straight with their little heads under water or paint thinner, clean and un-bent until you need them. A 4" dia x 2" deep aluminum cup is topped by a 6" tall U-shaped handle with a brush-holding spring across the top. Inside the cup is a mesh screen (with its own handle) for to clean the paint off and let it settle to the bottom, away from the bristles. The handle is removable for storage or travel.

The Mother Of All Fresnel Lenses
It came from either outer space, or a projection TV. Our largest Fresnel lens measures 49-1/8" x 37-1/8" x 1/16" thick, with a 42" focal length. Build your own lighthouse or projection TV, teach optical properties to students, or just turn your 21-inch model into one with a tavern-size picture. Held in the sun, the lens will concentrate rays enough to cook eggs or torch lumber. And, under adult supervision in the parking lot, employees of a certain un-named scientific and surplus purveyor actually melted pennies in seconds. Extremely cool and done strictly, we assure you, to determine the lens's focal length. Do not, we shouldn't have to remind you, store this puppy in direct sunlight. Or let the underage or under-mature sneak it into the sunlight.

Putin These On Sale
Seventy-plus years of Soviet history neatly packed into a set of (5) wooden nesting dolls, just like the chubby-mummy matryoshka, but with hammer and sickle emblems on their backs. The outer doll is a 6-1/2" tall Gorbachev, with Brezhnev, Khruschev (we think), Joe Stalin, and a tiny, 1-3/4" Vladimir Lenin all nesting inside. Recent Russian events are putin them in the surplus universe.

Squeeper
Combo squeegee and sweeper, it's "The World's Best Broom!" Says so right on the box. Could be a slight overstatement, but it is right handy for wet spills, scratch-abl e hardwood floors. And pet hair on carpets, ceramic, wood floors! It really works for pet hair! The "OneSweep"" has an attached squeegee on its 13" x 2-1/8" head, along with hundreds of rubbery polymer bristles, but the rubber bristles have something of a squeegee effect themselves. Includes a take-apart 57" long handle. As seen on TV!

RARE FIND!
Rare earth magnets are usually killers for their size, and these thick discs are no exception. The price, on the other hand, for (3) 7/16" dia x 1/4" 5-lb lift or (2) 9/16” dia x 3/16” 8-lb lift magnets each stored on a 2" dia steel disc, is a rare exception.
