Entomologist and janitor alert! Catch butterflies and other bugs (and errant bats) in this oversized, but very collapsible, critter net. The sturdy aluminum handle extends from 18" up to 30" and the removable 14" dia ring folds down to a 11" x 3-1/2" eyebrow shape. The fine-mesh nylon net is conical and a full 36" long. Very nice.

This all-purpose scissors is the favorite of everyone at A.S.&S.: Pat uses his to cut and strip wire. C.J. uses his to slit the tape on packages. Mary Ann uses hers to open bags of pretzels. It's 6-1/4" long overall, with a very sharp 2" stainless steel blade and large, comfortable handles. It would sell for $9.95 retail if it was new, but it was used for one day to cut cloth in the assembly plant of a major car company, then discarded. Quality control is a wonderful thing.

Even Grumpy would be happy if he had this very cool, stub-handled claw hammer to work with. It packs the punch of a 10-oz hammer, but is only 6" long overall, so it fits nicely in a sleepy cottage in the forest - or a studio apartment, emergency toolbox, or kitchen drawer. It's ideal for crafts, picture hanging and other dopey little jobs, but we wouldn't be bashful about using it for any hammer-type task. Drop-forged steel head a little (4-1/2" head to claw), but they gave it a heavy-duty frame, a contoured rubber grip, and a small magnet in the head for starting brads and nails. And we gave it a price that's nothing to sneezy at.

For running white glove tests. These are closer to a cream color, and are unused UK military surplus liner gloves for N-B-C suits, but they're nicely made, and would be quite useful as emergency opera-wear if you're in white tie but left your gloves in the Bentley. The men's Lg are labeled 8 to 8-1/2, and will be either 9-1/2" or 13" long (our choice) from fingertip to end of glove. These are also very nice painters/craft gloves for folks allergic to latex. Package of (3) pairs.

Tired of being a slave to the electric company, or just worried about shredding documents if the FBI cuts the power to your office? Try our foolproof, non-electronic document shredder, a very scissors-like hand-held innovation. OK, a pair of scissors with (5) sets of parallel blades. Destroys credit cards in a couple of passes, takes care of full sheets with a few more. Craft/classroom/party-planner bonus: makes confetti like a champ, and produces fringe just as easily.

And twice as space-savingly useful. Our skinny, clear-plastic pitcher, a mere 4" wide at its widest spot, is made to occupy as little space as possible. So slim an oval that it can pour without a spout, it's 9" tall and 8-1/2" deep, including the handle. It holds a full 64 oz/2 liters and is graduated in 8 oz/250ml increments. The flared base adds stability, which it needs because it has no lid to keep it from spilling if you use it in the fridge. Yours might have some very slight, surplus-induced, scratches. Or it might not.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
For both tots and folks with arthritic fingers, these ergonomic comfort grips are 1-5/8" long triangles of soft rubber, approx 3/4" wide on each side, from Ticonderoga. Note that (despite the pencil pictured on the label of the bulk pack) these are the Jumbo size, with a 7/16" bore, slightly larger than a standard pencil, so they're made for the larger diameter crayons, pens, and markers. You'll get an assortment of colors that may or may not be neon.
