Rare earth magnets are usually killers for their size, and these thick nickel neodymium 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.

Tired of being beholden to the computer mega-corporations? Get back to basics with the original computer. This fine wood abacus is approximately 9-3/4" x 4-3/4", with (13) sets of (5) balls and (13) sets of (2). Computing speed is considerably slower than even an old 286, but then it's guaranteed to never need rebooting. Instructions included. Made in China, naturally.

We just wish there was something, anything, to do around here that required this thing, on account of it's so cool. Our newest Helping Hand has a pair of alligator clips on swiveling arms, likewise a 2-1/4" dia x 1.5X magnifier plus an LED flashlight on a gooseneck. Everything swivels every way there is and tightens with little thumbscrews-and some of the configurations look like it's maybe alive, and from Venus. Jewelry makers? Diamond cutters? Forensic scientists? Maybe we'll start making small electronics, or tying flies.

Sextants came along after astrolabes but before GPS. (Just like you.) They're used for finding latitude and the distance between objects, and are still the non-electric, non-satellite-dependent back-up for navigators. Ours is a beauty in solid brass with glass optical components, at a tiny price. Measures approx 4-5/8" x 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" OA and comes in a very nice wooden case. Includes instructions for use, which you're going to need unless you went to Annapolis where they still teach it because computers can still go all kaflooey. (Note that well before computers started going kaflooey, compasses and sextants lost an adventurer here and there, too, so don't call us if you and the sextant set out for Madagascar and end up in Iceland.)

"Micro Fiber Colths," is what the label actually says. We love surplus, especially when it means perfectly good merchandise from folks who can't spell so good. These cloths were marketed for car care, but you can use them to dust and polish pretty near anything, particularly delicate surfaces. Each pack has (1) 14" x 7" and (1) 14" square cloth. Both are as soft as baby blankets. And both feature "efficiency of Micro Fiber for perfect wiping."

Try a convex mirror. This lightweight, chromed-plastic version measures 2-3/4" x 1-3/4" and is on a self-adhesive swivel mount. Might help you live with your car's blind spots; might be useful for other purposes, like keeping an eye on the whole room behind you, or that hidden spot in the hallway ahead of you.
