Look, Ma, one hand! These 10" Powerbuilt® wrenches have spring-loaded, self-adjusting jaws made to bite, hold and turn virtually anything--round, flat, hex or oddly shaped--that will fit. The jaws open to 2-3/8" apart and remain parallel. Designed so the jaws will generate 4X the clamping power of the ANSI pliers standard. Unlike you, its jaws have hardened steel teeth. Good to have a few in the garage, workshop and camper.

From Belgium, where they kept the gas mask and left us holding the bag. In olive drab canvas, with a shoulder strap, the pouch measures 11-1/2" tall x 5-1/2" square with a buckled top flap with leather-reinforced sides and (2) 8-1/2” deep pockets. Has (3) external C-rings, and the adjustable strap is approx 48” long with a lanyard clip.

These high-quality 8” long nickel-plated pliers from Tolsen Tools have an extra long nose, even when they’re telling the truth, and, as you know, pliers never lie. The 3” long jaws finish with a 1/2” gripper section and another side-cutter section. Also have coated plastic handles.

From the Slinky® brand, this kit, Our Amazing Bridges®, is for budding engineers, model-makers and pretty much anyone who’s curious about anything, because, let’s be honest, bridges are everywhere. Exactly how do those things work? You’ll know after you cast, assemble, construct and paint (3) bridges of your own. Suspension, arch and truss–they’re all here. You’ll come away not only with some cool models, but also with new knowledge about the construction of the real-life bridges you’ll soon be riding and walking across. Kit includes a landscape, many bridge pieces, plaster, sandpaper, wooden sticks, glue, paints, a paintbrush, nylon thread and an instruction guide. For ages 8 and up—and that includes you.

Kids today don't know the value of a dollar, and we think you should use these long days together to teach them an unforgettable lesson in money management and save valuable space at the same time. Call it gambling in place. Our Mini Blackjack table, a 10" x 6" version of the Vegas classic, includes a miniature deck of plastic-coated cards that won't get ruined if the kids spill their complimentary drinks on them, plus chips, a rake, a card shuffler and a storage drawer. They’ll thank you someday when they’re old enough to hustle people at cards.

But it will still keep the flying critters out of your kitchen. This hanging screen is made of a plastic fabric mesh and will fit doorways up to 36” x 80”. Installs with adhesive hook-and-loop tabs and has a weighted bottom, so it won’t flap in the wind. Portable, handy and ready for summer. Just like you.

These skinny, clear glass bottles hold (9) ounces and measure 7-1/2" x 2-3/16" with sloping shoulders and short necks. They come with a red plastic screw cap and remind us of what Kayo used to come in last century, when mothers still let kids drink chocolate milk.

About the size of a iPad mini at 5” x 7”, but 70 times cheaper and without the need to recharge it every night, this annual planner/datebook is year-agnostic--you add the actual dates. Has (80) pages with (12) month tabs and space up front for personal info. Includes both week- and month-at-a-glance formats. Oversized ring binder, black cover, and two-tone gray pages.

Same here. But before you head outside (and we're all ready to head outside), best have a backup plan. We use this Philips 10,000 mAH Battery Pack, the size of your larger smartphones at approx 6" x 3" x thin as a Swedish pancake at 5/16".

Zivko the Robot. Our best selling STEM kit ever! Just call her (or him--it’s unclear and we don’t like to ask) “Zivko” because “the Robot” is her last name. Using just a screwdriver and side cutters, you build Zivko from this 107-piece S.T.E.M. kit. Set the mode for “Follow Me” or “Explore,” and Zivko will, yes, track you, or evade obstacles, respectively, via an infrared sensor and micro-controller programming. Interactive LEDs and sounds abound. Measures approx 5" x 5-1/2" x 6-1/2" when assembled with all (6) legs. You add (4) “AA”s for power, which is the least you can do for someone this cute. Ages 10+.

A famous woodworking apprentice carves out a living today making these puzzle boxes from recycled hardwoods. Pull the secret wooden pin and the critter opens up to reveal, well, an empty velveteen-lined box, but it's just waiting for you to put your treasured jewelry, ill-gotten cash, safety-deposit box key, or candy stash inside. You pick: the bear's head measures approx 5-3/4” x 3-3/4” x 2” with an interior compartment about the size of a deck of cards; and the gator’s cranium measures 5-5/8" x 3-3/4" x 2-1/4" with an inner sanctum approx 3” wide x 3-1/2” long x 3/4” deep. Click here for a short video.

That’s why they call it the Mad Dana Bandana, and it can be worn a bunch of different ways. A couple of the ways are a silly, we admit (it's a wrist-bandana!), but most are ultra-snazzy, especially the face mask style—because you shouldn't have to look frumpy to be safe. This one is sans fleece and is a lighter, silky material. In assorted colors. 

And you can too, with this 18-foot length of solar-recharging indoor/outdoor rope light. The weather-resistant 3/8” dia tubing with multicolored LEDs inside is great for the patio, holidays, parties, the kids’ fort or just permanent accent lighting. Powered by a NiMH cell charged via a 2-1/2” solar cell. Comes with a plastic stake and wall plate for mounting. Includes instructions, mollies, screws and cable clips.

Funniest line Ring Lardner ever wrote, and it was directed to a kid in the backseat who asked if daddy was lost. Won't happen to you if you have this combination front seat protector and back-seat organizer. Back has a iPad/tablet holder, (4) water (or whatever) bottle holders, a large 9" X 9" pocket, and a pair of 12" X18" cling-film sunscreens so they'll be able to see their games and won't notice if you get lost. Front part is easy to wipe clean and has a mesh pocket for your stuff.

This little (although we suppose that goes without saying) microswitch from Defond is rated for up to 6A at 125VAC or 3A at 250VAC, 1/3HP. The like-new takeout has both N/O and N/C contacts. Measures just under 13/16" x 7/16" x 1/4" with a 5/8" bat. UL.

You could put photos in these clear acrylic standing easel frames, or you could use them as place cards, or you could have photo-place cards and nobody would have to read to find their seat. You get a dozen little standing frames, 6" tall x 4" wide, at a very nice price.

Because doesn't everybody poo? Yes, they do, but visit some people's bathrooms and you'd never guess--because they have a Poo-Pourri® spritzer, the odor-blocker extraordinaire. "Spritz the bowl before you go and no one will ever know." Traps aromas under the surface of the water without using synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, aerosols, alcohol or formaldehyde, which means it's safer than a can of dessert topping. Ours is the original refreshing citrus scent to help you keep it to yourself, and make your bathroom smell like a frozen daiquiri.

You OK? We thought we heard something when you stood up just now. We feel your pain. And we know you’re trapped—exercising in place, and in pain. Try this wrap-around Optima Dual ROM (range of motion) knee brace, with lateral support and a polycentric hinge that adjusts for flexion and extension. One size fits most, and provides stability and support with a comfortable latex strap. Measures 12” for less bulk.

Because your steady hand isn’t really as steady as it used to be, is it? No, and if you’re like us, it never really was in the first place. Why not admit it and get these 60-yard rolls of 1-3/8” wide, blue painter’s masking tape. Made in the European Union, where they hate wiggly lines.

Just like the classic Yankee drill, but for the kitchen. Has that “as seen on the television” kinda feel. You push the handle of this 10” long spring-loaded whisk and it spins clockwise on the push, and reverses when you let up on it. The 10-tine head is 2-1/8” dia at the bottom x 2-1/8” long, with a little center pin to keep it off the bottom of the bowl or jar or whatever. In stainless steel.

Create your own crystal garden and you'll never again have to run out to the store in the middle of the night for more crystals. Put the approx (2) ounces of rocks from this kit in a bowl, add white vinegar, put it in a warm place, and wait for the vinegar to evaporate. You'll have crystals in (2) days to (2) weeks. Add food coloring if you want to change your tasteful monochromatic crystals into a phantasmagoric garden of color. You provide the bowl, vinegar, food coloring and warm place. For ages 8+ with adult supervision.

You can do both with this non-functioning, fake electrical outlet that’s actually a small safe. Looks like an ordinary off-white outlet, but has a 7" x 2" x 2-1/4" cavity in back. Swap out a real outlet, or use the teensy drywall saw that’s included and make a new bogus one anywhere you like. This one even takes plugs for further verisimilitude. We suggest putting a burnt-out bulb in the lamp you plug into this outlet to fool the smarter burglars. Always work at least one step ahead.

Our each is a 6-foot length of HDMI high speed with Ethernet cable from PCT International. Meets ATC 1.4 standard. UL listed and RoHS compatible.

Da Mare could use this to point out cracks in the infrastructure at Wrigley Field. You, having a forgiving nature, will resist the urge to point out cracks in da mayor's infrastructure. You will, of course, use it to point out chimney cracks to the tuck-pointer, a cracked limb to the tree-trimmer, and the crack in your profit picture during a slide presentation. You can do all that and much, much more with the bright light from this 5mW green laser pointer. It's an unbelievable tool. If you need a laser pointer that seems to go on forever and is so strong that you can actually see the beam in the dark, it will be the best low-cost investment you ever made. Or the coolest high-end toy. The 532nm Class IIIa light is 5-5/8" long x 1/2" dia, with (2) "AAA" batteries (not included), a momentary-on switch, pocket clip. (Sorry case not included). An absolute necessity for construction, surveying, warehousing, inspection and other large sites. And for playing in the dark.

What do you get when you cross a cow with a giraffe? A Mooraffe©! From Genetipetz®, this super-soft stuffed animal has the body of a giraffe, 29-1/2” tall foot to mane, and the classic black-and-white markings of a Holstein cow. Pat thinks it’s the most ridiculous thing we’ve ever had the privilege of offering, and Karen thinks it’s just plain adorable. For ages 3+, and surface-washable.

High tech comes to Am Sci & Surp!! It is here in the form of a Peltier junction, a thermo-electric device that translates electric power into heat, and perversely, into cool. Apply current at 15VDC to the gizmos and they extract thermal energy from one face, thereby cooling it. The heat is dumped onto the other face, thereby heating it. Please note: you must use a heat sink on the hot side or the junction will fry itself, since it can quickly create a 65° C temperature differential in a no load situation. Stack two, or build a cascade to increase the thermal differential created. Or run it backwards. Apply heat or cold to the relevant face and produce a current. Amazing for science projects and experiments. Practical for coffee warmers, beer coolers and mini-refrigerator or warming oven applications. They come with a datasheet. Large is 1-9/16" sq. x 3/16" thick and draws 6A and small is 1-1/4" sq. x 3/16" thick and draws 3A.

We don’t altogether understand the name, but we like this beginners’ electronics kit. Has (4) pairs of blue LEDs and a Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) to cycle through various patterns on a 2-3/8” octagonal PC board with decorative wire coils to give it a steampunkish look. Lights change pattern in a circle, like a certain superhero arc reactor. You add (2) CR2025 batteries. Should take under an hour to wire up, and has immediate results.

No need to spin dials when you have this nifty mobile-phone-activated combination lock kit from Madlab©. Phone tones activate a relay switch with a programmable combination of up to (10) digits and an activation cycle up to (10) seconds. You add a case, a 9V battery and medium-level soldering skills. dimensions: 100 x 50 x 17 mm / 3.4 x 1.9 x 0.7"

Sometimes an ordinary zip tie just isn’t going to do the job. When you need, for example, to tie your kangaroo down, sport, these monster black nylon ties are the answer.

Neon strip cardboard spectacles with diffraction gratings as the lenses. You can see the regular world, but all light sources and bright objects appear in multiple rainbow hued images. The effect is a little as though the whole world were a giant hologram. Great stocking stuffer or birthday party item for grade school ages.

From iZoom®, our light source of choice, comes this tiny flood that lights way above its weight. Hard to believe (but true) that such a small package is rated for a staggering 500 lumens with (21) white LEDs that have a 30,000-hour life. It’s also indoor/outdoor weatherproof!

What is a killer rare earth magnet? Well, once upon a time, a copywriter put this little magnet next to his computer monitor and got really pretty, wavy, aurora-like effects. And then got a new monitor! Don't try this at home. Our shiny, silver-colored 1" x 1" x 1/2" neodymium magnet looks innocent, but is industrial strength, pulling something like 25 lbs with enough strength left over to erase all your credit cards. And wreak havoc with your monitor.

This Firelight & Framework Pocket Tool Set from True Utility is a multitool and flashlight you can take anywhere. The pocket multitool has pliers, wire cutters, (3) drivers (flat and Phillips), a knife, saw, can and bottle opener, file and awl in one tool; and the keychain flashlight has a 20-lumen LED light with waterproof lid and believe it or not a working flint wheel lighter.

Nope--we thought it was a theodolite-- a surveying instrument for measuring angles in horizontal and vertical planes, but it seems we missed the mark. With the help of a knowledgeable Surpie, we’re reasonably sure this olive drab apparatus is an artillery sight for a Chinese howitzer. (See, even we don’t know everything.) Measures approx 7-1/2" x 5" x 4" with a plethora of moving parts: optical head that pivots up and down; focal knob calibrated from 0 to -90 and +10 to + 80; horizontal and vertical adjustments with a locking lever; and a 1-5/8" dia ball with a 1/2" hole in the bottom for a mount. Weighs in at over 5 lbs. The paint is chipping, but you would too at this age.
