No, It’s a very small strap, but a mighty nice one. In black leather with a steel buckle, it’s just 6” long x 3/8” wide. Measures approx 1-3/4” dia in the first hole down to approx 1” dia in the last hole. Hamster collar? Watch band for a Dachshund? Really classy way for an audiophile to bundle wires? Closures for craft projects like wooden boxes? You decide, we just sell the stuff.

This submersible 12VDC water pump is rated for 360gph flow, and up to a 6-foot lift. Draws approx 1A at full power. Input is 13mm ID/17mm OD with a slight lip. Housing measures 1-11/16” square x 2-1/2” on a 3” x 1-5/8” plate with a pair of 5/16” mounting holes and 7-1/2” leads.

Our Associate VP for Residual Tackiness says this cloth tape is not as residual as duct tape (meaning it won’t leave as much residue behind when you pull it up), but tackier than gaffer’s tape. Strong and sticky, easy-to-tear, and just right for repairing vinyl, upholstery, plastic, canvas and most other stuff. On 4-meter (approx 13-foot) rolls, they’re 1-7/8” wide on a 1-1/2” core. You pick red or white.

Cute little keychain-size carabiners in cerise (that’s like an electric pink) anodized aluminum. They measure 2” x 1-1/8” and open to a max 7/16”. There are (2) per pack, so you’ll get (6) total but they’re not for climbing—only for hanging stuff.

This storage pouch, in safety-vest-chartreuse, is 9” x 2” x 2” with a 2-step zip-lock and hook-n-loop water-resistant seal. Good for walking in the rain, biking, sailing and triathlete-ing with valuables, either strapped around your waist with the adjustable elastic belt and molle buckle or not. The pouch is gusseted, which means it’ll also open to 4” wide—perfect for a cell phone.

Do we love multi-purpose stuff? Yes, we do. Herewith, we present our Swiss-ish army-like file folder organizer. A 14-1/2" x 9" x 7-1/2" gizmo with (4) plastic file holders and a 13" x 3-7/8" white dry-erase board on the front for you to write messages to yourself on with the thoughtfully included black marker.

These pillow block bearings have 13-gauge steel mounting straps, 4" long x 1-1/8" with 5/16" x 5/8" mounting slots, and a sintered iron ball unit measuring 1-11/16" dia with either a 5/8” ID or 1” ID brass sleeve. The 5/8” ID one has an oil cup on the top; the 1” dia version has a grease fitting in the same place.

We’ve got a lovely bunch of sanding sponges. And they can be yours for less than you’d drop in a fast food drive-thru. Most are from 3M and Norton Abrasives®, and they range from coarse to fine grit in sizes from 4" x 2-3/4" x 1" to 4-7/8" x 3-1/2" x 1". We’ll pick a couple for you, OK?

Washable, non-toxic water-color poster paint. Can you say kid-safe? How about furniture-safe, too? That’s what the bottle says. In 2-oz squeeze bottles. You pick the regular water-color paint, and we’ll send you (3) different colors from our selection of white, green, blue, black, yellow or red; or pick the extra-fancy glitter-infused paints, and again you’ll get (3) different colors: purple, silver, green, blue, red or yellow.

You obviously need a stainless steel one. This one’s a foot long, marked mostly in 1/16” increments but with a section of 1/64” markings for your tiny-measurement needs. The other edge is 30cm x 1mm, but with 10cm in 0.5mm increments. Has a handy metric to English standard conversion chart on the back. Measures 1-1/8” wide, with a hole to hang it by.

These military surplus pop chutes are made to help open really big parachutes, but please don’t use yours to jump out of airplanes with. (That prohibition applies to all AS&S items, by the way.) This chute measures 26” dia x 21” long or tall, depending on how you look at it. It’s in off-white nylon and mesh with a big compression spring inside and a pair of grommet holes on the bottom. We think it would make a nifty post-modern holiday tree, or a spectacular hat with a tie through those grommets.

To put a fine point on it. Our each is a set of (5) Sharpie® fine point marker pens for under a buck apiece in black, blue, green, orange and the ever-popular purple. And they’re bleed-resistant.

Drinkgrabs. Beerbandits. Whatever you’re imbibing, they’ve stolen your old fashioned for the last time.

You pick the Voice Bubble or Name Tag version, and we’ll pick a pair for you in a fetching color combo. Our each is (2) coasters. They’ll come with a little dry-erase marker that will probably be dried out, but if you shop here you’ve already got markers.

Pay no attention to Coach. Just tape it up if you’re too old to also shake it off. Use this white cloth medical tape with a crinkled edge so it’s easy to tear. From Select® medical products, each roll is 1” wide x 10 yards on a 1” core.

That watch on your wrist won’t save you, no matter how smart it is, but this survival timepiece might. In black with a 1-1/4” dia luminescent face, the quartz movement runs on an included AG4 battery. The adjustable hook-and-loop strap closes with a molle buckle with a compass, magnesium fire starter and whistle on one end and a tiny steel blade (for the fire starter) on the other.

Sounds crazy, but stay with us here. This 7-LED bulb runs on its internal 700mA rechargeable battery or on AC power when you screw it into a standard outlet. It charges when in an outlet, with a 5-hour charge for a 3-hour use cycle. LEDs are a cool white temp inside a 3” dia x 4” bulb, rated for 250 lumens. Bonus! Works great as a handheld flashlight. Double Bonus! Comes with a wireless remote control. 

Or giraffe, zebra, tiger or leopard. We’ll send you (3) of our animal-skin print aluminum carabiners, 3-1/8” long x 1-3/4” with a 5/8” mouth, in whatever critter-prints run to the door when we open the cage. Not for climbing. (Think: keys.)

And we’ll bring you our very best in plastic hand and foot skeletal models, from Lindberg Science Kits™. You pick: the right foot is 11-1/2” long (which is pretty much a foot) with (18) pieces, plus assembly instructions, a fact sheet and a stand; or the right hand, life-size and including (26) pieces, assembly instructions, a fact sheet and a mounting stand. You add the glue. For ages 10+. Made in the USA.

Safety Glasses-R-Us. Behold our cornucopia of safety glasses, all in variations on the classic aviator style with added side shields. Measure approx 5-1/4” to 5-3/4” across with polycarbonate lenses. You pick the black metal frames with dark lenses and shields meeting ANSI Z87.1 standards or the brown plastic frames with dark lenses and shields.

There are some things you just shouldn’t look at directly, like the mind of our copywriter, and this iZoom® flood light. The latter is a 10W, 700-lumen floodlight with a 3/4” dia COB LED behind an acrylic lens. The whole shebang is in a 7" x 4-1/2" x 1-3/8" weather-resistant housing with a 3-1/2” handle on top, and a pivoting kickstand. Color temp is 6000K (coolish) and it comes with (6) “AAA”s for power, which is about (3) hours’ worth.

You add a D-cell battery and a few household items. Created by Berkeley science-education whiz Penny Norman, Ph.D., and attractively boxed, with a lavishly illustrated 40pp instruction book. For ages 8 to 80

That’s what they call the hooch just out of the still in Kentucky, but this version is a white dog on a stick. Dog head, anyway. Looks like a plain white polyresin Labrador retriever, and as such, it’s ready to paint. (Tan dog? Green dog?) Measures approx 7” x 6-1/2”, and sits right up on a 3” long, 1/4” rod on a square, black painted wooden base.

This small stainless steel fine-mesh filter is 2" dia x 1-1/2" tall. It has fine mesh sides, a solid plastic bottom and slight lip around the top. Nice for small filtering jobs, but would also make a passable basket for a gerbil hoops game.

Take-outs from unused medical equipment, this package of (3) premium Duracell® Quantum "AA" batteries comes inside a plastic battery holder with 2" leads. Pop the long-lasting batteries out and use 'em elsewhere, or build yourself something. The ones we've looked at have expiration dates of December 2023, so you've got time. You'll get (6) "AA"s and (2) holders in each PKG (2).

Or drip some drops. These translucent white plastic (HDPE) bottles hold 50ml (1-2/3 oz) and measure 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" and come with a matching safety dropper cap that's marked for 0.4 and 0.8ml. Our each is a pack of (6) bottles so you'll have enough to drip drops through the tulips before needing to refill.

Just ask him where he got his bag. Probably here. This sturdy messenger bag in olive drab canvas measures 13” x 10” x approx 5” with a deep pocket, little pocket, long pocket, snapped pocket, clips for keys, straps for an umbrella, and a padded strap. On the smaller side for messengers, it’s perfect for students, commuters, travelers and anyone who carries a bunch of stuff. (Mr. Mom alert: nothing looks less like a diaper bag.) Manufacturer suggests a price of $44.95, but phooey on them, we say.

Inflatable air loungers are all the rage, and we’ve got ’em! Ours, by Drenched, weighs just a smidge over 2 lbs, and when it’s folded and stuffed into its bag with shoulder strap, it measures a mere 14” x 8” x 6”. No pump required! Just swing it around to fill the pockets with air (or use the wind), snap it shut and plop down. Great for the pool, beach, concert, game, picnic, campsite or living room. Hey, it’s your life. When inflated it’ll look like a 20” high x 30” wide x 70” long hot dog bun. Sit in it longways, for a hammock pose, or the other way, where it becomes a single lounge chair--or a love seat if you’re willing to share. At this price they won’t sit around here for long.

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.

Let's cut to the chase here -- buy these the first time you read this, or they're going to be gone! There aren't that many of these flexible chopping mats, and the versatile 15" x 12" x 0.024" thick mats are not only ideal for small kitchens where every inch counts, they're great for any kitchen, and for cookouts, camping and picnics. Our each is a set of (2) of the translucent Euro-look mats that protect countertops from sharp knives and fresh-from-the-oven cookies, and protect food from outdoor surfaces. They can be lifted and slightly folded to funnel chopped food neatly into a pot. They're dishwasher safe, and roll up for portage or storage.

Hook these on the zipper pulls on your jackets and you'll never be in the dark again. Tiny LED lights measure 1" x 9/16" in a 5/16" thick oblong, and come on a 7/8" long lanyard clip. We'll pick some that will go with your eyes, in blue, green, black or red. Include little button cell batteries that can be replaced if you're the sort of person who does that.

Steampunk alert! Also…model and jewelry maker alert! This pair of 10X acrylic doublet loupes is mounted on black eyeglass frames and flanked by LED lights powered by (2) included CR1620 button cell batteries. These are for close work only, from 1" to 1-1/2", and can focus only one lens at a time (not both on the same object) so if you’re a steampunker looking for a new accessory, plan on perching this rig on your pate or chapeau.

The smart cutters and choppers these days are using ceramic knives because they stay so sharp for so long, and who remembers to have their knives sharpened? Ours measure 7" long over all, with a deep aqua handle, a 3" blade and a sheath. Don't go into the kitchen without one. Slice, dice, chop and mince, and forget about sharpening. Like you always do.

Wire glue-the solution when you can't find the soldering iron, don't want to bother, are out in the woods, don't quite trust a fifth-grader with a hot gun, can't reach the connection with both hands, whatever. This stuff conducts low voltage AC and DC circuits in a permanent bond and is easy to use. Our high-tech support group suggests that a toothpick is a good way to apply it. Cures overnight. Our each is a 0.3 oz/9ml jar.

Projects include color organs, strobes, IR detection, LEDs, color spectrums, motor control, photo resistor and transistors. You can even plug your audio player into some projects. CJ, our Senior Light & Sound Boffin, called it "an enchanting rainbow of scientific theory wed to practice, with fun in the bargain," but he talks like that sometimes. For ages 8 and way up, it has over (55) parts and yes, they will play well with other Snap Circuit® components.

An exhausted physicist. Also this 3-1/4" dia camping lantern. Stands 5” tall with fold-down handles, but pull up those handles and reveal the super-bright, a whopping 600 lumen COB LED light inside.
