One thing you don’t want your multitool to do is rust, which is one of the reasons this stainless-steel, rust-proof one is a beauty. That’s a lot of ones, but this one multitool, which is 4” x 1-1/8” x 1/2” closed, has a pliers with side-cutter, (8) blades and drivers, and a rule etched on the sides. In other words, many uses. Ever wonder why they don’t call them manytools? Includes a black canvas belt pouch, too.

From the enlightened folks at iZoom® comes this two-pack with a 600-lumen collapsible lantern (see our #95833) along with a bonus 350-lumen flashlight. Lantern is gun-metal gray and collapses from 7” to 5” tall. Black aluminum flashlight is 6” long with settings for high, medium, low, strobe and SOS. A great gift set for any camper, and batteries are included.

Most of your Tyrannosaurus rex models just stand there, looking all rexish, but this 4-1/2" tall molded rubber dinosaur model is posable, with articulated legs, tail and jaw. It’s like he was made to star in your stop-motion animated Dino-epic. Better get a pair or you won’t be able to film any tender couple-in-love moments or battles.

Nothing is forever, hence these small, removable color-coding labels. You’ll get a total of (525) 1/2” x 3/4” peel and stick neon labels in green, orange, yellow and pink. Not printer-friendly, but easy to peel off. Nice for pricing at yard sales without damaging the stickee.

No, no, no--nobody likes to see a pooch penned up. These are ball-point pens inside plastic dogs. They’re long, with spots, like dachshund-dalmatian crosses, but in pink, blue, white or yellow. We’ll pick (2) different colors for you. Pull the tail on the 4-1/2” long dogs, expose the ball-point, and bring a little canine whimsy to your memo, love poem, grocery list or resignation letter.

These NanoBaja Racers aren't just miniature monster off-road racers, they're the smallest radio-controlled vehicles we've ever seen. they have 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" wheel bases, spring-loaded rear wheel suspensions, and a range of approx. 40 feet! Control units have forward, back, left and right, plus a charge cord. We'll pick one of two colors and 27MHz pick-up trucks or 40 MHz cars, or you can have a pair if them to race. All come with (4) little traffic cones. For ages 8+

Introducing the wooden desk lamp kit, a version of an adjustable metal desk lamp for people who like wood better. This DIY kit has (41) pieces, mostly unfinished pine with some plastic and hardware. Includes a white LED in a 1” dia frosted housing and a 53” USB cord for power, but no power switch. Just unplug it from any USB port to turn it off. Includes full instructions. Finished lamp will be adjustable with a max height of 16”. It’s not super-bright, which makes it great for reading in bed or lighting up your laptop keyboard while you work.

And blue-handed, green-handed, yellow-handed and purple-handed. From the universe of the useless (our special-i-tee) come these creepily realistic little rubber human hands. Measure 2-3/4" from wrist to middle-finger tip and you’ll get (5), (1) each in red, blue, green, yellow and purple, and no, we can’t guarantee rights or lefts because we don’t want the entire warehouse staff to quit en masse.

You’ll need some genuine Transformer bandages. Luckily, they also work on humans. Our each is a tin with (20) sterile bandages, 2-3/4” x 3/4”, all resplendent with licensed Transformer images. As a bonus, you’ll get (2) Transformer-themed temporary tattoos.

Acupressure slippers, spring-loaded. The (32) little round springy magnetic massage buttons on the insole depress and twist when you walk. Every one of them is marked with the organ it will apply to, including heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, colon and sundry parts we don’t like to list in a family catalog. Include a big hook-and-loop strap and a lot of suggestions. Box says they're a size medium, which is roughly 10-1/2" long. Ignore the surplus-generating “Acupuncture…slipper” on the box--these will not stick needles in your sole.

Plastic disc, 2-1/4" dia with a diffraction grating face. Place the disc in the sunlight, and it will reflect a myriad of rainbow splashes on a wall, ceiling, screen etc. Neat!

Stick this brand new digital oral thermometer in it to see if you’re sick or not. Measures 5” long in cream-colored plastic, and displays Fahrenheit/Celsius, has a multi-function button, replaceable button-cell battery and auto-shutoff. Beeps with high temps, and comes in a handy plastic case.

We think we got these solar-powered British bobble-head figures because the sun doesn’t shine enough to make them bobble back home. They’re all 4” tall and include a British Bobby, Beefeater, and Betty herself, Queen Elizabeth II. They stand on 2-3/8" x 2-1/8" bases with 1-1/4" solar cells. We’ll send you (2) different ones in your order.

Wee-gee, like the photographer, is the most common way and no, we won’t get into where it comes from, although oui (yes) + ja (yes) is an old wives’ tale, and those are just a bad as old husbands’ tales. Just be grateful that there’s a way to communicate with another dimension, and that you could own a thing called a planchette. So take this 15" x 10" laminated board and the aforementioned 5-3/4" x 4-1/4" planchette and wait for your nervous system to spell out something. Guaranteed to be even more accurate than a magic eight ball and not to lead to demonic possession.

Naked squirrels always trouble us. For your instagrammatic pleasure, this 7-3/4" tall laminated squirrel cut-out stands on a folding easel and comes with (39) assorted, reusable vinyl clothing stickers, including tighty whities, pearls, a propeller beanie, sneakers, an argyle sweater and a whole bunch of holiday costumes. Easter bunny with a chain saw, anyone?

If so, you might understand this circuit board originally from an HVAC controller. Maybe better to have an artistic brainstorm and repurpose this pretty little thing. Might be fun to use as a part on a faux robot. (Fauxbot!) Measures 2" x 5-3/4" with a 2-digit alphanumeric display, (14) green LEDs, (9) push-button switches, a 12-pin connector with multicolor leads, and, because it is true surplus, no wiring diagram.

It’s an AS&S debut--socks with fun built right in. We’d say they’re wacky, but we hate saying wacky. These are all cotton/poly/nylon/spandex blends, which is a lot of blending right there, medium men’s, but really, they’d pretty much fit most feet, and they’re gender-indifferent. You pick the blue/red/yellow with a rubber chicken on the side; the two-tone green with pickles rampant; the four-tone with Bigfoot; the black and blue with Tesla coils; or the green/black with a Plague Doctor.

Sometimes at the end of a long day of typing, our fingers just need to lie down for a while, so we grab one of these finger cots and….sorry, we were challenged to write a clean finger-cot joke. Never mind. These are your standard, natural rubber latex finger cots, aka “sheaths,” size small. Use them to protect your fingers from paper cuts, dryness, chapping, irritating liquids, whatever. Our each is a box of (144). Gross, you say? Yeah, kind of.

Remember dictionaries? Never mind--they’re all inside your phone now, but in an homage to the dictionary stands of the past, we present this little black aluminum stand for your phone or tablet to sit on while you look stuff up, or do anything else. Measures 4" tall x 4-1/2" x 3" with a ledge with silicone pads and keyed holes to organize the cords through when the battery runs low. Bottom also has pads to keep it from sliding around. Will work with most phones and tablets up to a 9” screen.

More likely cowskin, but who ever says that? Leather, anyway. Our each is a package of (10) leather cords, 3/16” x 1/16” x approx 48”-70” long, in assorted colors and ready for your frontier craft needs, or for lacing up your boots. Also dandy for cowboy key chains. Our samples were brown , dark brown and black. What will yours be?

Whip any number of small things into shape with our set of (30) assorted diamond burs and bits-cylinders, ball-tips, cones and points in graduated sizes. All with 1/8" shanks and all 180 grit, in a black-plastic case with a clear top. Not the super-expensive grade 3 quality, but these are definitely grade 2 and-are you ready for this?-better than the average bur!

Make your fingers (and toes, too, if you can reach them) twinkle with this compact 8-piece stainless steel manicure set. Includes small and large nail clippers plus 3-1/4" long curved cuticle scissors and, in the same size, a cuticle pusher, trimmer, tweezers and a nail cleaner. All in a zippered imitation faux leatherette pouch.

It doesn't get much cooler in the robotic-arm-kit game. The assembled arm is 15" tall x 9" long x approx 3-1/2" wide. It's 2-pronged hand opens to 1-3/4", lifts up to 3.5 oz, swings 120 degrees at the wrist, pivots 300 degrees at the elbow, and sits on a base that swings 180 degrees up and down and rotates 270 degrees, like, well, an arm. Controlled by (5) 2-axis joy-sticks and powered by (4) D-Cell batteries that you provide. Includes a hand-mounted light and over-torque and gear-breakage alarms, which is more than your arm has. Requires simple hand tools for assembly and is made for ages 13 and up.

This stainless steel-bristle wire brush from Clorox was made for cleaning swimming pools and hot tubs, but don’t let that stop you from using it on any stubborn stuff. Great for tough stains on concrete. Brush is a comforting blue and a whopping 10” wide x 1-1/4” with 1-3/8” long stiff bristles. Heavy-duty aluminum handle is 4-3/4” long, and the whole thing could be used alone, but it’s made to take a 3/4” dia tapered, unthreaded pole, which is pretty standard. Has a hole for a screw to hold the pole, and you should probably ignore the quick-release buttons, which were for the proprietary pole that we don’t have and you don’t need.

When is a toy not a toy? When you can have fun with a kid, and build a digital voice recorder at the same time. If the young Tom Edison had had one of these kits, your grandparents' lives would have been a lot easier. Elenco's Pro Model SC-750 is a Dr. Toy winner, from their Snap-Circuits" series. Has over (80) parts to snap (no soldering) into a grid and learn electronics while building an AM or FM radio, digital voice recorder, burglar alarm, doorbell, and electronic games, among over 750 experiments, including solar, electromagnetism, and computer-interfaced applications.

What a cool little clamp! Only 8" long overall, the jaws open to 4" when you press the release button and close incrementally as you pull the trigger. The 3/4" x 7/8" pads on the metal-and-plastic tool won't mar the surfaces they're sandwiching. Makes you want to find something to clamp!

And easy to store. One of the better pick-up tools we've seen. Folds to just over 16" to store, but locks open at 30" with spring steel arms on an aluminum frame. It has soft, suction-cup-shaped grabbers and big, locking pistol grip. Pretty good gripping capacity too-maybe to 10 lbs or so. Get one for Mom, because at her age she can't reach the things she used to. And then get another one for yourself, because you'll be Mom's age before you know it.

One of the greatest inventions since the garage-door opener and instant polenta: the dimmable LED. This one’s a standard medium base, 120V LED floodlight that draws a scant 8W to throw the equivalent of a 65W halogen--650 lumens with a 3000K soft-white color temperature. Has a 25K-hour lifespan.

There's nothing quite like the thrill of assembling your very own clear plastic heart model and pumping red fluid through it for the first time. This classic kit includes tubing, instructions, rubber squeeze bulb, plastic frame, and of course, both atrial and ventricle chambers. You supply the glue and snips. Also comes with a small bag of red dye for coloring your own water, though we'd opt for blue food coloring or highlighter fluid and a blacklight for Halloween displays. The anatomical model stands 11” tall when finished, and is recommended for budding cardiologists ages 10 and older.

Our each is a standard set of (28) cream-colored, black-divot dominoes, sized 1-7/8" x 15/16" x 5/16" thick. Includes a wooden case and a tiny sheet with the rules for Double-Six, one of the endless popular domino games.

Nothing really stops extraterrestrials, of course, but you can use this one to keep your leftover wine sealed, especially if you’re drinking in Area 51. Stick the green head in the neck of the wine bottle, push back on his little alien forehead and the bottom expands to keep it tight in the bottleneck.

Generally a bad thing, unless you’re a roll of clamp tape, which only sticks to itself. Mega-handy for when clamps just won’t fit, or when you’re gluing stuff with delicate surfaces. Air- and weather-tight, tis black tape measures 3/4" wide and stretches up to 300 percent. Our each is a 5-foot long roll.

is best done with the sacred mother of all novelty items, the original Whoopee Cushion. Marlon Brando owned one. Of course he did, they're both American classics, except the cushion was born in Toronto. Ours is the classic 8" version.

"Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek!" Recognize that? It's the sound of someone sawing a styro-foamal block. It's followed by the sound of a vacuum sucking up hundreds of little foam shards. Free yourself from both with this clever electric hot-knife that slides through those chunks of craft foam like a straight razor through a ripe mango. Perfect for carving foam blocks into shapes - or smaller blocks. Measures 10" long OA with a 4-3/4" long, needle-like cutting wand, heats up to 410°F (so be careful), and makes screeeek-free and shardless cuts. Has a 7-foot cord, line switch, safety stand, and wall-outlet adapter.

What scratches your back but won't provide breakfast for you? It's our glow in the dark back scratcher of course. Has chicken like talon "hands" and extends to over 26” long, but shrinks to a pocket-sized 8-1/4”. Super duper handy to have around when your significant other says they just cut their finger nails.

This one’s actual size at approx 5” top to bottom. Fully detailed with all the parts you need (really) but on a display stand with (32) components listed, including exposed chambers for observation, plus veins, valves and arteries. Includes assembly instructions. In red (duh) plastic. For ages 10+. Made in the USA.
