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.

Why doctors scrub in and not up is a mystery, but these pre-op surgical scrub kits are made for surgeons to scrub, yes, “in” before rummaging around among your internal organs. The BD E-Z Scrub™ 107 brushes are from Becton, Dickinson and Company, and come in a sealed, single-use package with a brush and small plastic nail cleaner inside. The brush is impregnated with a 4% chlorhexidine gluconate formulation, and is meant for serious scrubbing of arms and hands only, and should not be used near eyes, ears or mouth. Surplus alert: yours might be expired, but you know how that goes—it will still work fine—and we trust you’re not doing actual surgical procedures.

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.

First of all, this adjustable wrench has a super-handy 0-3/4” x 1/16” rule that functions as an outside caliper on one side, with a 0-25mm x 1mm version on the other. And it’s an 8" drop-forged steel adjustable wrench that opens to a maximum of 1-1/16”. It’s a handy tool, to be sure.

It's our first eleven-fer, and an actual fashion item, which we usually only see with Bulgarian military surplus. But this is brand new, called the Mad Dana Polar Fleece Bandana, and it can be worn (11) different ways. A couple of the ways are a touch dopey (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. The top half is fleece and the bottom half is a lighter, silky material. Also works vice-versa, so feel free to flip it at will. In assorted colors. 

In another life this would have kept the Cisco Kid dry and made riding on Diablo a lot comfier. For you, it's a hooded rain poncho with a built-in stadium seat cushion for when you can go to stadiums again. Our VP for measuring maximal glutei says fits best for folks 6-foot and under, but don't take personally, high-pockets. In black, which is always elegant and slimming in the rain.

For all your unmet faux zoological needs, look no further than this ample assortment of good-quality rubber critters. Hailing from the Insecta, Arachnida and Reptilia classes of the phylogenetic tree, this assortment includes grasshoppers, dragonflies, honeybees, rhinoceros beetles, scorpions, tarantulas, spiders, bearded dragons, iguana and water dragons. Whew. There are probably more, but that is all our resident naturalist has managed to classify so far. A nice bulk pack for classrooms, or for Halloween décor and costumes.

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. 

Our each is a (12)-pack of BIC® fine-point markers, (7) in spectrum-ish colors of pink, purple, blue, lime green, yellow, orange and red, plus (5) black. And to ensure your work’s immortality, they’re all permanent, acid-free ink.

Until this one. It's called the Moondo Parent Backpack, but we make no judgments here, so we're selling it to anyone who appreciates what separates it from the kids' versions. The large main compartment is augmented by: a laptop and tablet compartment; cable management system; adjustable stroller straps, diaper changing pocket with changing mat and separate wet pocket; multiple phone and bottle pockets; key chain holder; luggage support strap; accessories pocket; wipes dispenser; and hidden security pockets on the back for tickets, passports and wallet, plus one on a front strap for cash or credit cards. Call it the ultimate travel/diaper bag/backpack that you won't leave home without. In fashionable and water repelling, stain-concealing black.

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.

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.

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+.

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.

Our test tube rack, in unfinished wood, measures 11-3/4" x 3-3/8" x 2-5/8" and will hold (8) tubes at least 75mm tall and up to 21mm in diameter. Also has (8) 60mm x 10mm drying rods, which means it could be repurposed to hang belts or ties.

It's (16) oz, like these glasses, and like it is everywhere here in the US of A, because Starfleet Command was based in San Francisco. These Star Wars™ pints are wrapped with images of Kylo Ren, Storm Troopers, Captain Phasma with Kylo Ren, and Captain Phasma with Fire Trooper. Starfleet Command also commands that you use no primitive and dangerous 20th Century devices like dishwashers or microwave ovens. But then again, why would you with Star Wars™ collectibles as lovely as these?

Welcome to AS&SDOT, the better department of transportation.

Mount your very own well-made indoor/outdoor critter-crossing sign. Each is metal, 12" square with a graphic depiction of the critter(s), realistic or otherwise, and each hangs diagonally from a pre-drilled 1/4" hole.

Okay, it isn't the cheapest magnet in the warehouse - but we pulled about 35-40 pounds with this 4-7/8" x 1" x 3/4" ceramic magnet,  and we think it's a bargain. It has a 6" bracket with mounting holes on 5-1/2" centers, plus a 1/2" ID eyehook bolted into the center of it. It's all set to troll the bottom of the lake next time your filing cabinet falls overboard.

Those long nights trudging from tiki bar to tiki bar are over. You can now decorate your fro-frou drinks in the comfort of your own basement rec room with this package of (50) 4” long toothpick umbrellas. In dark blue and discretely branded with a vodka logo, you’ll find they’re a nice complement to the neon red of old-fashioned maraschino cherries. Plus it’ll never rain in your drink.

SPECIAL NEWS ALERT! WINTER IS COMING! Avoid those hip-cracking amateur sidewalk double-axels with TREX™ slip-ons, extra-aggressive traction spikes. It regularly ices up here at the home office, and we stay on our feet with these. The chains and spikes are stainless steel, with both sole and heel coverage, and the stretchable rubber tops are high-visibility orange for added safety. You pick small (men’s 5-7, women’s 6-1/2 to 8-1/2 ); Medium (men’s 7-9,women’s 8-1/2 to 10-1/2 ); or large (men’s 9 to 11,women’s 10-1/2 to 12-1/2 ). The rubber uppers are uber-flexible, so they’re likely to fit larger sizes than suggested. (Pat stretched the small over his size 11 boots!)

Got worries at home at work or while driving? Diffuse them with this very nice USB-powered, portable Geek Tek® essential oils diffuser/humidifier, which holds a little under 8 oz of water, can glow in (7) different LED colors (shifting or steady) and offers (2) mist modes (steady and intermittent).

The only hose you'll ever need! The incredible expanding Xhose has made its way from your favorite TV commercial to our warehouse. In a lovely darkish blue, it’s approx 25 feet long, but expands to 3 times that length, to 75 feet, when it feels water coursing through it. Rolls up to a minuscule 18" dia. Save space, reach farther. Has standard sized reinforced hose fittings, plus a shut-off valve. Durable, easy to use and easier to store because it’ll fit in a bucket. Connect two or more together and you’ll be able to water the flowers in your neighbor’s yard! But don't borrow it to them, they might not bring it back.

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.

We love multipurpose stuff like the Internet loves cats dressed as people. And we dearly love this 8-way tool for your car, which has a digital tire gauge, glass-breaker head, white LED flashlight, blinking red LED, seat-belt cutter, tire-tread gauge and air-release valve. Yeah, that’s only (7). Surplus, y’know. The manufacturer counts the magnet and lanyard as the eighth use. Comes with (2) “AAA” batteries and the whole thing is just 7-1/2” long.

Originally a fire safety escape kit, you'll get a headlamp (which is the meat and potatoes of the kit) with (8) white LEDs on a pivoting bracket with adjustable elastic straps that are nominally approx 8" across and powered by (3) included “AAA” batteries. Also comes with a screw hook, a suction cup child locator, and (10) reflective 2" arrow stickers. But it’s the LED lamp, at our great price, that makes this one so attractive.

There's no escaping the automobile attraction when you've got giant flagpole mounted on your roof. The lightweight frame with folding bracket mounts atop your vehicle with scratch-resistant suction cups and durable straps. The flagpole itself extends up to 4' long which folds down for garage access and works with the included 2' x 3' American Flag or up to a 3' x 5' flag with grommets. Fly the flag of your local sports team, our classic Jolly Roger. Plus, at the top of the pole sits a bright white LED powered by your vehicle's accessory port which means you can keep showing your pride after dark. But keep in mind that you can't drive fifty-five—the manufacturer recommends keeping it under 30 MPH if you want to keep your pride intact. Easy setup instructions and 2' x 3' American flag included.

Expedited shipping is not available and your entire order will ship standard ground.

No, not you. You’re not a golden retriever. We’re talking about these spectacular heel clips with flashing LEDs inside. Clamp one around the heel of your shoe, set it for fast, slow, or constant on, and it glows bright red around the back and both sides of your heel. Makes you visible on night runs and extra-stylish in a darkened disco or rave. The strong spring makes them quite grippy. Our each is (1) clip, but you really should get a pair if you’re as symmetrically inclined as we think you are.

Our each is a set of (4) removable sink strainers with stainless steel mesh wells and flat rims. The set includes (1) 4-1/2" dia for 2-1/4" drains, (1) 2-3/4" dia for 1-1/8" drains, and (2) 2" dia for 3/4" drains.

These gray rubber gas masks from the Russian military fit over your entire head and lend a very insectesque appearance. Eye lenses measure 2-3/16" dia and the front of the mask ends in a snout-like fitting for a filter, which you won't get because we don't got.  (We think it is a standard size) As usual, don't wear these masks into any "situations"--they're for decorative purposes only.

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.
