Looks like a missing part from the Starship Enterprisingly, but it’s really just a dandy little 12VDC piston-action water pump. Originally used for medical purposes. Draws 600mA, has a rate and lift on the low side but should be fine for continuous use for you fountain fans. Measures an L-shaped 5-3/8" x 4-5/8" x 3-1/2", with barbed 1/4” output and 5/32” input diameters.

This dual-frequency binaural stethoscope from a popular pharmacy has a non-chill bell and diaphragm, and measures 28-1/2” long. Acoustic response with its lightweight chestpiece. Large-size ear tips and spare diaphragms included.

Yes, campers, you can now tote a teapot to the woods. This devilishly clever, collapsible silicone tea kettle measures 5-1/2" dia x just 1-3/8" when folded down to its stainless steel base, but pulls itself up (actually, you do the pulling) to stand 6-1/4” tall and hold more than 40 oz of water. Even has a locking spout, and a fold-away handle. Food-grade and dishwasher-safe, it’s good over any low flame as well as on electric stoves.

Great balls of air! The mighty AIRZOOKA is back--and as cool as ever! Looking like a plastic bucket with a handle and a flip-up gun sight, it blasts a puff of air up to 50 feet. Blow out candles from across the room (and avoid spitting on birthday cakes), spook the cat, disperse bugs, take target practice at styrofoam cups or buy a pair and play air-tag. Measures roughly 11” tall x 11” dia in bright blue plastic and is, frankly, much more fun than you would imagine.

From 3M Scotch™, the fastener folks who make a career of hanging on like Sloopy. You pick the Bundling Wrap, (30) feet of 1-1/2" wide black strapping, for multiple-use wrapping of pipes, lumber or anything else that needs to stay together; or the black, outdoor hook-and-loop fastener, 1” wide x 15 feet long, described as 1.5X stronger than Velcro®, able to hold 1-lb per inch, wet and/or dirty; or the self-adhesive extra-wide white, hook-and-loop straps, 10 feet long x 2” wide, for indoor or outdoor use, and also able to hold 1-lb per inch.

The manufacturer calls this Toilet Hoops, but we have too much dignity to print that. It’s a 5-1/4” dia suction-cup-mounted basket and backboard, a 27” x 30” felt court for the floor, (3) 2-3/4” dia basketballs, and a holder for the balls that you can mount near the toilet so you can be like Mike. Includes a “Do Not Disturb” sign for the bathroom door.

The boombox may be dead, but Boom Bags live on to fight the onslaught of all those ear-bud-wearing newbies. Play it loud with this audio take-out from the makers of Boom Bags carry-on audio luggage and backpacks. Our each is a self-contained stereo amp with 5W per side via 3” speakers, plus a 4” 8W subwoofer, all with metal mesh covers. Has 1/8” output, audio input and mic input with separate level control. Remote has a 15-foot range, and adjusts the subwoofer volume. Also has (3) USB charge ports, and comes with a 5-foot 1/8” standard headphone cord and power supply with a 6-foot cord. Remote has a coin-cell battery. Power LED is a standby light. Measures 13-1/4" x 12-3/4" x 1-3/8" thick. Build your own bag or box, or just hang it on the wall.

Probably, but why bother now that you’re out of school and everyone calls it a blood-pressure kit now anyway? This one comes from a popular pharmacy, and has a 5-1/2" x 19" sleeve with a large aneroid gauge, inflation bulb and a stethoscope. Includes instructions and a storage case. Latex-free.

To everything turn, turn, turn. This padded seat measures 15-1/4” dia x 1-7/8” thick, and has a lazy-Susan bottom, allowing you to spin with less effort. The gray plush covering is removable and washable, while the foam rubber it covers makes it comfy. Think of all the personal energy you’d save. Might also be a source of amusement for your cat.

Before there was olive drab canvas there was genuine leather military equipment, like these 4-slot German military magazine pouches. Measure 10-1/4" x 6-1/4" x 1-3/4" with a quartet of compartments at approx 1-1/4" x 1-3/4" x 8" deep with flip-down covers that fasten over brass studs. Has an angle-mounted 60” buckled strap with a 4" x 2-1/2" x 7/8" flapped pouch sliding on it. You’d need to roll your magazines pretty tight to fit in the slots, but they’d hold any number of Slim Jims.

Just like all the fashionable coroners wear, this clear plastic face shield is approx 10-3/4” tall x 6” deep, and wraps around your face and the front half of your head. Has thumbscrews to adjust the forehead strap and angle of the face guard. Not impact or heat resistant, so pay heed to the “antispray mask” on the tape at the top, and don’t use it like safety glasses or a bump cap.

Organize those loose magazines and brochures. Elegantly designed (slightly assorted styles) with a glossy finish, these cardboard file/holders are sure to please. 11-3/4” high x 3-1/2” wide x approx. 9-1/8” deep, open at the top and 3/4” of the front (or back, depending on how you file them.) They come flat, have easy pop-up assembly and we will pick two for you. 

Made specifically for attaching to pill bottles, this 1-3/4" dia magnifier has a 2X acrylic lens with a blue tint that increases readability. It’s mounted on a ring and bracket with a rubber strap to hold it in place on the bottle and keep the lens an inch above the label/instructions.

Top is a 7” dia red plastic funnel, with a removable 40” long x 3/4” ID acrylic tube attached, with an equally removable red plastic stopcock at the other end. Handy for a staggeringly wide array of uses with an even wider array of liquids. Originally marketed as a “Party Bong” for college beer bashes, we’re looking at it as a really inexpensive funnel with a valve--you know, for more sciencey applicatons.

This dipped, nominally 10K Ohm thermistor is on a heatshrunk and tubed 27” lead with a 6mm 2-pin Molex connector. Resistance drops as heat increases (NTC). Comes encased in a 1” x 1-1/8” plastic housing with a clip. AC takeout.

We’ve got your paint pots right here. You pick from the acrylic paint sets from Testors™. The Hobby Set comes with (6) 0.1-oz pots of paint in Stoplight Red, Turn-Signal Amber, flat and gloss black, Engine Red, and silver, plus an applicator brush and a tube of model cement. The Military Set comes with (6) 0.1-oz pots of paint in Neutral Gray, Olive Drab, flat black, dark tan, Gunship Gray and silver, plus an applicator brush and a tube of model cement.

Fret not. Many, many people don’t, which is why we feel an obligation to supply pre-polished rocks for the polisherless masses. Our each is a bag of shiny, ready-to-become-jewelry, rocks weighing in at about 1/3 of a pound, which works out to 25-55 rocks, depending on the very assorted sizes. Hand-packed, like the finest ice-cream, right here in the AS&S headquarters.

If you remember that poster, you’re really old. Today’s generation just grabs the Decide-O-Matic, which lets it decide for them. Like the Magic 8-Ball, but with more options and more fun via a pendulum and magnet. Select a Decision Disc--fortune teller, truth or dare, movie “flix mix,” pizza picker or playlist shuffle--then set the pendulum swinging and watch it lurch from choice to choice before settling on the one that relieves you of the burden of decision-making. Includes a blank disc to add your own custom quandaries.

Got boring throw pillows? We feel your boredom. Try these 18” square (a common throw-pillow size) nylon pillow covers to bring a touch of whimsy to your couch. You pick: the pug dressed as Henry VIII, as they will if left to their own devices; the cat dressed as Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I; or the corgi with top hat, bow-tie and monocle, which they wear when the queen’s not around.

The Clay People were all gray in Flash Gordon’s world, but this 24-piece set of modeling clay comes in (24) colors, including the non-rainbowish black, white and gray because a lot of stuff is, after all, those colors. Pieces are 2/3-oz and 3/8” x 1/2” x 3-3/8" long sticks. And they’re gluten-free--says so right on the box.

Just how big are your hips? Big enough to handle our 64-oz hip flask? Measures 11-1/2" tall x 6-7/8" wide in the traditional curve x 1-5/8" thick. Holds a party-ready half-gallon, which is 1.89 liters which would be, yes, bigger than those 1.5 liter bottles. In surgical stainless steel with the all-important attached screw cap that won't get lost. Brushed-finish sides, polished top and cap. Suitable for engraving as an extra-special award item.

And then give us a little tweeze, and a couple more for luck. Our 4-piece stainless steel tweezer set includes: 4-5/8" long bent tweezers; 4-1/2” fine point; 4-5/8” cross-locks; and 4-1/4” blunt-tip stamp tweezers with 1/4” wide tips for you philatelists.

Managing people will be so much easier with this giant red NO! button on your desk, or at home. Push it and hear a digital voice deliver (10) different versions of no, including No!; No, No, No; Noooooo; For the last time, NO!; and more. Great for denying tasks at work, and later-bedtime requests at home. (Remember--you can always change your mind to Yes, but going the other way never works.) Measures 3-1/2" dia x 1-1/2" tall in red with a black frame. You add a pair of "AAA" batteries.

Check out our keychain version! Same great sounds in a mini version. 

If the Tin Man had been plastic, this would have been his lid, and he'd have been rust-free. Our giant plastic funnel is 9-3/4" dia with a 3-1/8" long x 15/16" ID neck. Just under 10" tall top to bottom. Could be red or green depending on which way the surplus wind blows. Hang it by the little tab with a hole on the top edge. Buy (3), get a tennis ball, and run the biggest shell game in town.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a screeching flying monkey to the rescue! And at a screechingly low price. Our hero is an 11" long stuffed monkey in assorted colored superhero togs (a hat and a removable cape with ebay deals on it). Put two fingers in the little pockets on his paws, pull his bungee arms back, and let him go. He'll fly a good 25 feet or more, issuing hideous monkey screeches all the while, faster than a flying nun and able to brighten up a day in the office in a single bound.

Able to stand up to the infamous Helsinki Miasma, this brand new gas mask hails from the Finnish military (it's the standard NATO M61 model, although Finland isn’t in NATO) but we sell them for decorations. Don't depend on it for self-preservation. In gray rubber with the filter on the side and adjustable straps, it measures approx 8" tall x 5-1/2" wide and is very similar to the U.S M-9A1.

Our fashion buyers are just back from the shows in Milan with these brand new, nice quality, 80% poly/20% cotton lab coats. These are Euro-sizes, which generally (and generously) match chest circumference. The 42 has 34-1/2" sleeves, and the 48 has 36". All are about 39" long, which means fingertip length or mid-thigh, depending on how long you are. Think men's small and XL. They're all five-button, with one breast pocket and two large side pockets and have no name or embroidery added. Notched lapels, no vent-just what all the best-dressed technicians are wearing this season.

A great hand held rotary tool and an excellent buy. The plastic carrying case at 12" x 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" contains not only the 120VAC-powered variable speed (8,000-30,000 rpm) mini drill/grinder, but a 3-ft flexible extension shaft that allows you to operate in even the tightest spots and a good assortment of bits, grinding stones, cut-off wheels, etc, including collets to fit 1/8" and 1/16" bits. A nice package, and a very nice gift for yourself, or for anyone who enjoys working with hobby tools. UL listed, just like the big boys. Check out all our rotary tools and accessories. Click! 

Teensy tiny brushes for cleaning teensy tiny tubes, airbrushes, spray guns, tattoo equipment, nozzles, etc. Think miniature bottle brushes. You get a set of (5) brushes: 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" and 3/16" dia. All have nylon bristles, are 4" long, and are on a slip ring so you won't lose them.

I am not a rock, I just look like one. I'm actually a 3-1/2" x 2" x 1-1/2" deceptively rock-like hunk of gray and black polyresin that's hollowed out to hold your spare key and hide among all the other rocks.

Diamond files never wear out, hardly, unless you file diamonds with them. This 10-piece set of diamond files has an assortment of wedges, flats, points and triangle files, all 6” long overall and up 5/16” wide. If you can’t find the one you need here, you probably shouldn’t file the thing in the first place.

We don't know the folks at TSA, but we're hoping they won't let you on the plane with this remote-controlled rattler, for everyone's sake. Measures approx 16" long with (22) segments and creeps along quite quickly when you push the forward, left or right buttons on the snake-eggish infrared remote. Remote runs on (3) button-cell batteries, included, and the snake is rechargeable via the included USB charge cord. (If you're USB-deviceless, get our 40579 USB-out wall plug.) Range is about 20 feet. We'll pick a snake in serpauthentic speckled gray, speckeld white, or green or orange, all with a nice retractable tongue.

A classic returns! Our extra-large punching-nun puppet features a pair of thumb controls that activate very impressive jabs from both sides. A Nun’s Story meets Raging Bull. She’s wearing pretty much the same habit that Audrey Hepburn sported in the aforementioned movie. Ladies and gentlemen...wearing black and white, standing 12” tall with an 8-1/2” reach, weighing in at 1/2-lb… the Super-Flyweight Ecclesiastical Champion of the World, from Niles, Illinois...Sister Mary Punchyerlightsout….

If the question is whether to tie a bunch of these giant latex professional weather balloons to a lawn chair, the answer is no. (They burst at about 82,000 feet anyway.) Besides, this is a true weather balloon, with plenty of fun, nonfatal uses. The cream-colored latex balloon is approx 40" dia when flaccid, you should pardon the expression, but has an 8-foot dia when inflated. The neck is 9" long x 1" dia. Scientists, meteorologists, inventors, teachers and the imaginative filmmaker are warned to launch the balloon carefully. The material is delicate and not made to survive brushes with pavement, pine branches, or clumsy physics students.

Red not available and only available in egg shell/cream color only. 

and make like Martha Stewart. You’ll get (5) general purpose hot glue sticks, ready to load, at 12" long. For cartoon scanning, woodworking, upholstery, furniture and lots more. From 3M, for glue guns that accept 1/2” dia sticks.

..my sweet engravable you. Safeguard your stuff with this little battery-powered engraving pen. The 1/16” dia head vibrates to let you inscribe your ID on stuff  that might otherwise wander off. Surprisingly effective for a lightweight tool. Measures approx 6” long x 1” dia and works on metal, wood, glass, plastic, leather and more. Runs on (2) included “AA” batteries.

These brand-spanking new 12VDC motors are made to move automobile seats but are willing to change. They spin at approx 190 rpm, draw 1.5A no load, and stall at approx 25A. 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. Measures 5-5/8" x 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" overall, not counting the shaft, and has power terminals opposite the gearbox with (2) 1/4" mounting holes opposite the shaft.

Just like (pretty much) the old steel ammo can GIs carried, and then carried home to their garage workshops, but in olive drab or black plastic, which doesn’t rust. Measures 11" x 7" x 5" with a gasketed flip-up lid, 3” latch and a 5-1/4” folding handle on top. Weighs in at a little over a pound.

Please Note: Our current stock is black and not sure when olive drab will be back.

Don't panic. A meteorite is speeding toward you, but it will only hit your mailbox. These small hunks of genuine meteorites are approx 4,200 years old and have been harvested from Chaco, Argentina. (We never miss the meteorite harvest in Chaco.) Most will weigh 20-33 grams and measure approx 1-1/4" x 3/4" x 1/2", which is very dense. Carry one in your pocket and you'll never be hit by a large meteorite. (And if you are, we'll give you double your money back.)

From the official Sharpie® people, this set has (20) fade-, water- and smear-resistant markers: (10) fine point in blue, green, yellow, neon yellow, tangerine, both neon and leg-warmer orange, hot pink, red and brown; plus (10) ultra-fine point markers in black, navy, techno and nano blue, aqua, green, orange and optic orange, magenta and jellie pink.
