Micro Bits
And we do mean micro. Sizes #61 to #80 (yes, that is twenty different bits) which are from 0.013 to 0.038 inches diameter!! The big boys sell a set of similar bits (carbon steel, like ours) for about $30.00!! Maybe theirs aren't from China.

The Penny Cutters
These are the so-called miracle shears from Pakistan. They were designed for use by paramedics and others needing quickly to cut wire, light sheet metal, or other tough stuff that might stand between them and their quarry. They are normally demonstrated cutting a penny in two. Which they will do. But not as a steady diet. Let's dispel a few myths. While these are Pakistani stainless, we're not talking any miracles in manufacturing. They are good for their purpose, and real handy to have in the old tool box. But their purpose isn't making pennies into 5-mil pieces, and you will twist or break them at about the same time you find out that you've done the same thing to U.S. laws! For sheet metal or wire or fishing leaders or tin cans or whatever, be our guests.

A New Favorite
Mary Ann's favorite new toy! This 2" dia rubbery soft-foam ball can be turned inside out to become an even-softer, powdery-feeling spiked ball that resembles a sea urchin. The critter comes in pastel shades of pink, yellow, aqua and orange -- and it glows in the dark. We tell you, she's this close to giving it a name, buying it a leash and taking it home with her!

Add Music & Stir
It's a mood light for your car! Set the mood with red, blue, green and yellow LEDs in a slim, cone-shaped plastic housing (think ultra-modern candlelight) 4-5/8" tall OA. Select the light sequencing pattern that suits the moment. Powered by your car's cigarette lighter, the light has a 9-ft lead, so you can mount the base with its self-adhesive tape almost anywhere in the car. Not in the mood? A switch lets you shut it off completely.

Cheap Time
Quartz stopwatch which presents you with the time (12 or 24 hour system), has an alarm, and operates as a stopwatch. Palm sized, it has 3/16" tall LCD readouts, and comes in assorted colored plastic (our choice) with lanyard to hang around your neck. That all sounds great, and it is, once you exercise a little patience translating the instructions from the English translation of Chinese on the box!! The problem is that the case and the movements of the setting and stop/reset etc. buttons are pretty cheap. It is fully functional, but we are not going to make any claims about durability. On the other hand, how extensively do most of us use stop watches anyway?

Hobby Drill
A really cool mini drill set for your mini projects! The 7-1/4" long aluminum push drill for delicate work comes with (1) 1/16" and (1) 1/32" collet, and (20) bits that fit them. The bits are #61 through #80, some so needle-thin they could add tear ducts to a fashion doll. They come in a mini case marked with the number and size of each bit in mils.

The Littlest Headlamp
Or book light. Or bike light. Or anyplace light. At 1-3/16" dia x 1-1/4" deep, it weighs approx nothing but has a very bright, single white LED with a collimating lens. It's in black plastic and mounted on a little spring clip which has an 11" long, adjustable elastic strap threaded through it. The light swivels 90° on the clip. Wear it around your head, on your wrist, arm or leg; clip it to a book, clipboard, a car or hat visor, the dog, a bike part, a tent flap. Runs on (2) coin batteries, included, and you tighten the lens holder to turn it on. Can you say "versatile?"

Butane Beauty
It's stylish, it's handy, it has a slightly menacing look to it, and-truth be told-it's a lot of fun. It's a handheld butane torch, great for everyone: in the lab, under the hood, working with circuitry, melting copper and other metals; heck, a chef can even use it to flambé the dessert. 6-1/4" tall, 3-5/8" x 2-1/4" dia base, 3-5/8" long at the top, with a textured grip, push-button start with safety, and air adjustment to control the size of the flame. Easy to fill with butane, which you'll need to do 'cause no fuel is included.

You're Feeling Calm...
Very calm. You're sensing inner peace and seeing the comforting, soft lights at the very core of consciousness. It's on account of you've got the Color Cube, dude. It's a soft white cube, 2-7/8" on a side with internal LEDs that morph from purple to pink, light green and blue every (5) seconds or so. Its (3) button-cell batteries are included, but this would still be a good time to order extra batteries, especially if you intend to sense inner peace for a long, long time.

You Can't Be Too Thin
Or too useful. Our pocket pal proves it. Credit card height and width and a skinny 1/4" thick, this little wonder has a pair of white LEDs on one edge, a red laser, a small hidden ballpoint pen, a pair of folding scissors, a 3"/8cm ruler/straight edge, and (and this is the really cool part) a 2-1/4" long flex-neck LED that pulls up out of the top. Call it the smallest gooseneck lamp in captivity. Runs of a pair of button cell batteries, included.
