The Star Master is a star projector, but no, that doesn’t mean it can predict who’s going to make it big in Hollywood. It’s a little gizmo, about the size and shape of a quart of paint, (4"X5") that shines star-like points of LED light in white, red, green and blue.

This small, clip-on, retractable cord reel measures just 1” dia x 3/8” thick, in black plastic over steel, with its spring clip on the back.

This set of (4) 3” tall army figurines are in dark green, variously on a walkie-talkie, with binoculars, holding a metal detector, and throwing a grenade. They’re your basic army guys, except these are made of polyresin, think unbendable plastic-like material, and made for putting on the seabed of an aquarium. We don't get it either, but maybe the guppies will feel safer. And no, you don't have to put them underwater if you don't want to. We think they look just fine on a shelf.

Threaded shaft is at a right angle and is 4-1/8" x 7/16". Shaft thread is non-standard, so treat it as a smooth shaft and mount pulley or gear with a setscrew.

Winner of this week's "What IS That?" award. It's a watch crab, also called a spanner wrench, that's designed to remove the back from watches, lenses from telescopes, and other thin, flat components from whatever they're attached to. Heavy for its size, it's 1" x 2-3/4" x 3/8" thick, with sharp 1/4" prongs projecting from the edge. The prongs move from 2" to 7/16" apart as you spin the knurled nut between them. An impressive tool to flash in front of your brother-in-law. If he doesn't read our catalog, he won't have a clue!
