And they’ll save you considerable drawer space. Our 4-piece set of stainless steel nesting measuring cups from Superb Chef have short handles to save space. They’re the usual 1, 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 cup sizes but with added smaller increments (incl 1/3) on the sides. They also have small spouts for pouring, and holes for hanging or stringing together if you’re into that.

Pardon us if we don’t swipe right, but we’re just selling digital thermometers here. This one, from HomeMedics®, is 8” long but the 3-1/2” probe folds away and tucks into the 4-1/2” long handle. Readout is 1” x 1/2” LED display, shows -40 to 450F, -40 to 232C, and has a hold button to freeze display. Made for cooks, but because of its wide temperature range it doesn’t really care what or whom it’s measuring, heat-wise. Powered by a pair of common CR2032 batteries (included).

The Alligetter is a pick-up tool that works much better than "You come here often?" Sorry--joke. This pick-up tool is for getting stuff that's stuck in the garbage disposal, an alternative to having your fingers disposalated. Translucent white plastic with a gatorish head and 2-1/2" long serrated jaws, a white LED for lighting up the drain, and a clever little device to spread those rubber drain flaps, it folds for storage. Personally, we think it's way too alluring to stick down a drain, and its real future is with imaginative children and invented games. Consider buying some marbles or playing cards. Or mini dinosaurs… Please note, the included (4) AG-3 batteries are getting old, may be corroded and in need of replacing. Check out our battery assortment Button Cell Batteries for low cost replacements. That's just the way surplus works sometimes.

The other is the same thing in a slightly smaller size, 8-3/4” long overall with a 3-3/8” x 1.5X main lens with a 1” dia bifocal on the left at approx 3X and a doublet in the handle at approx 7X. You add (3) “AAA” batteries for the LEDs.
A smaller version of the monster flood lights most of us can’t afford, this one’s rechargeable from iZoom with a 600-lumen 10W COB white LED with a 2-3/4" x 1-3/4" reflector in a water- and dust-resistant 4-3/8" x 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" with a padded 3-5/8" handle and adjustable 6-1/2" x 5-1/4" H-shaped base plus an adjustable mounting bracket. Includes a cigarette-plug charger and wall plug. Runs a little under 2 hours on a full charge.
