OK, maybe it’s not cage-free, but this bar soap is handmade on an Amish farm in Springfield, Missouri, using Abraham Graeber’s family recipe, which contains “no cancer-causing chemicals,” according to the package. Because this soap is made by people and not machines, it’s good for the earth, too. Our each is (5) giant 5-ounce bars, approx 3-1/2" x 2-3/4" x 1-1/4". (For you youngsters out there, bars of soap are what humans used to use to get clean before there were liquid soap dispensers.)

There is an entire class of transformers that surplus dealers call "AC Adapters." What we really mean is transformers or wall warts that plug directly into the wall (primary voltage 110 VAC), and via a cord and/or plug provide various levels of output current at various voltages. It is a rare buyer of surplus that gets the plug configuration he/she wants, and many get snipped off (plugs that is). They are handy power supplies, battery charging units, substitutes for batteries in toys and games, or for providing safe illumination to models and displays. Be sure to note whether the output is AC or DC (Direct Current, like a battery) and whether it can provide enough current for your application. Unless otherwise noted, all are suitable for indoor use only. Stick with us and you'll get the hang of adapting to AC...and at much lower prices than your friendly appliance/game/computer/calculator shop asks. Unless otherwise noted, all adapters are for 115 volt AC primaries, and all have about 6 ft. cords. (MA=Milliamp) (A=Ampere) (VDC= Volts DC) (VAC= Volts AC).

All have 1-7/8” ID mouths with gasketed screw caps, so they should also work with hot water.

Our bulb-type manual siphon pump comes with 12” and 45” lengths of clear vinyl 3/16” tubing that attach to a 3-1/2” long x 1-7/8” dia bulb. Made for petroleum products. At $4.95, it pays for itself with the first gallon or so you suck out of your neighbor’s Toyota. (Just kidding!) Use it to empty oil on something besides the garage floor or your head, fill the mower straight from the mini-van, or transfer gas from one vehicle to another. (Check to make sure you own both vehicles first.)

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..

Our each is (2) rockets for your launching pleasure.

Call for larger bulkier pricing. 

A big step up from the basic soldering iron, and much safer, our soldering station features continuously variable power between 5-40W, a 1.5mm pointed tip thin enough to use on surface-mounted components, a 4-foot cord, padded grip, iron holder, built-in cleaning sponge, and a stand-alone controller with a 5-1/2" x 4-1/2" footprint and a power switch.

Add the glitter of bright, brass-tone aluminum buttons, 9/16" dia, to tops, jeans, purses, backpacks. The buttons are new and convex, with a stationary 1/8" sewing loop on the back, and an embossed star and small hammer and sickle design on the front. All right, so they were from the Soviet military (circa late 1970s). The design is very discreet. And we weren't the ones who had to tear down a wall, so you can consider these the spoils of a cold war. (Lots and lots of spoils. Left-leaning artists who want to cover a giant canvas or Soviet statue with them should call for a volume discount.)

Whip any number of small things into shape with our set of (30) assorted diamond burs and bits-cylinders, ball-tips, cones and points in graduated sizes.

Could be a really flexible ear of sweet corn, but it’s not. Here’s what it is: a super-bright, 30-element COB light in a 3-3/4" hex x 1-1/2” housing mounted on a tension-locking ball and socket joint that’s attached to 2-1/2” hex base with a 2.5-lb pull magnet.

Throws a hefty 250 lumens, has a rubberized on/off switch on the side and comes with (3) “AA”s.

Call it the Heart of a Doll, because that’s what it was, once upon a toy store. Today it’s a red, heart-shaped plastic thingy, 2-1/2" wide x 7/8" thick, with a smaller heart-shaped button on top. And yeah, it’s a little creepy. Hold the button and it emits a soothing electronic heartbeat at a tad under 60bpm. Runs on (2) button cell batteries, included.

Pardon us if we don’t swipe right, but we’re just selling digital thermometers here. This one, from HomeMedics®, is 8” long but the 3-1/2” probe folds away and tucks into the 4-1/2” long handle. Readout is 1” x 1/2” LED display, shows -40 to 450F, -40 to 232C, and has a hold button to freeze display. Made for cooks, but because of its wide temperature range it doesn’t really care what or whom it’s measuring, heat-wise. Powered by a pair of common CR2032 batteries (included). 

Tube tents are tubes in the sense that they're one piece, with floors, and can be used as shelters, ground cover or or blankets in emergencies or disasters. This one is bright orange nylon with an aluminized coating on the inside for insulation. Measures 82" x 36". Includes 23 feet of nylon rope for hanging between trees or posts and (4) 9" zinc-plated steel stakes.

What we have here is the inside of a walking toy that’s lost its outside. What’s left is a white plastic potato-ish fellow with a stumpy head. Like a naked robot. Has the usual set of eye-holes and earlobes, a speaker mouth (but nothing to say) and a belly button that doesn’t do anything, just like yours. Toddles on big black clown feet and has (2) power switches, one on its back, one at the end of 9” leads. We like it just the way it is, but crafty folk might want to make him or her a body. Either way, you add (3) AA batteries.
