Measures 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 3/16" thick, made of a copper-plated zinc alloy with a smart-device soft tip. It's a phone/pad/pod stylus and elevator button-pusher with a curved door and drawer puller, and box opener, on a keychain/ring.

Handy 3-pack of syringes, 10ml, 20ml and 60ml, perfect for squirting glues, greases, lubes, paint, whatever you need to squirt. And if you use them as squirt guns, you didn't get the idea from us. Small ones are graduated in 1ml increments; the big one in 2ml. All come with caps, so you don't dribble.

Small, but mighty useful if you need a tiny tap and die set for threading wire or stripped screws. The micro set has a 3-1/4" long die plate and 14 taps (sizes 7 through 20 -- read 0.7 mm through 2.0 mm), and a mighty attractive price. A little oily in its vinyl storage pouch -- but it's all steel, after all, and has to safeguard its complexion.

Could be what you do if you’re buried alive, or if you want to dance your life away, but most likely it’s a description of the machinist’s friend. This tap & die set cuts straight, clean threads and includes a 1/8” to ¼” tap wrench, and a tap & die in 6-32 NC, 8-32 NC, 10-24 NC, 10-32 NF, 1/4 – 20 NC and 5/16 – 18 NC. In drop-forged, heat-treated steel coated with titanium nitride. Titanium tools!

If your knot-tying skills are a clove hitch short of Eagle Scout, you'll want this set of CamJams, cord-tightening carabiners. In sturdy black plastic with stainless steel gates, there are (2) ways to use them, a loop or fixed-end system. Anchor the carabiner to any hook, D-ring, or loop and feed your cord through, then pull firmly until the cam locks. Sounds ridiculously easy, does is knot? Works with 1/16" to 3/16" diameter cords. 

The interior decoration version of the Krummlauf gun (just groogle it, OK?), this 2-1/2" wide polyester-bristle paint brush has a semi-circular ring as part of its handle so that it swivels 90 degrees right or left, and front to back. Tightens with a thumbscrew clutch on the 6-1/2" long handle. Remove the handle and it's a 5-3/4" long brush on a ring. Jim dandy handy for painting behind fixtures, inside bookshelves, anyplace with limited access.
