From your local mega hardware store, this wooden kit was made to give the kiddies something to build. Like an oversized Pinewood Derby kit, but with the power of a pull-back motor on the rear wheels. Has (3) pre-drilled wooden pieces, (2) sets of wheels on axles, a sticker sheet, instructions and an iron-on patch. Car will be 6" x 2-7/8" x just shy of 2” when done. Ages 5+.

Meeting unrecognized needs once again, we are proud to feature this 8-cup automatic drip coffee maker cleverly disguised as an NHRA Funny Car drag-racing helmet. It’s the John Force autographed model, complete with sponsor decals. The pot’s hidden behind the flip-up face mask. Measures 11-1/2” x 11” x 9” wide and includes a reusable filter and a free scoop. And no, you can’t also use it on your head. 

Please Note: Your entire order will ship standard ground when purchasing this item. Contact us for expedited shipping information. Thanks!

Who says demonstrating kinetic and potential energy isn’t more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Well, the monkeys. But everybody else will enjoy this rubber-ball-based energy demo toy. Includes colorful rubber balls at 1-7/8", 1-1/4" and 15/16" dia on a 5” plastic rod, capable of shooting one of three 3/4” balls (you’ll get two spares) up to 5X higher than the drop distance. Comes with a pair of safety glasses, just to be safe.

Little takeout 3-6VDC Mabuchi motors (6VDC nominal) spin approx 4000 rpm and draw 50mA no load. Stall at 300mA and measure 1-1/2" long x 1-1/16" dia with a 1/2” long x 3/32” dia shaft with a 2-sheave 9/16” dia pulley. Sheaves are 1/16” ID. Wired with 2” leads (positive and negative) for super easy battery or wall adapter hook up. A little dusty but incredible for scout projects, classroom robotics projects or making your own army of walking zombies.

You say your shirts look like they were folded by someone without opposable thumbs? Is your mother mortified by your closet shelves? Now you can fold your stuff like someone being criminally underpaid by a national clothing chain. This adjustable folding board, as seen on the tube, takes just “3 steps, 3 seconds” to deliver perfectly folded garments, and can be adjusted for fabric thickness.

Door stoppers all look alike, right? Ugly little brown-rubber things that no self-respecting hip influencer would own. Not any more. This red-rubber stiletto heel is ready to stick its pointed toe under your door and make you proud. Measures 7” long x 4-1/2” tall at, of course, the heel. Our each is one shoe, but we think a pair looks better.

No, but it is a mighty fast remote-control pocket race car. Just 2-3/4" long x 1-1/4" wide x 3/4", these cars have a NiCD battery inside and a nifty 4-way controller/charging station/storage case combo that measures 3-3/4" x 2-3/8" x 7/8”. Range is 60 feet and a five-minute charge gets you five minutes of drive time. Car styles include a yellow Fury, blue Bullet, black Phantom and red Bull, but those last two are just coincidences. The controllers pair with each individual car, so you can race multiples. You’ll get (4) tiny orange traffic cones for driving practice, but you’ll need to add a pair of “AAA” batteries.

Chocolate fountains are so over. Give best friends a nice gravy fountain for their wedding reception. Or just buy this 11-1/2” x 9-3/4” x 3” bogus box with “The Amazing Gravy Fountain” photos and text extolling its virtues, discussing the included ladle and recipe book and featuring a cute, gravy-spitting frog on the front. Feel free to put something equally stupid from our catalog inside, or give something they’ll really appreciate, like a chocolate fountain (they’re not over).

Glass beads, 0.055" diameter!! They are German and are the kind you glue on stuff to make it sparkle or reflective--not the kind with holes. At our price you could do layers in little bottles for really cool thingums!! We have 'em in clear and a whole host of colors. Craft stores sell tubes of these beads for a ruinous $4.00 per tube or about $3.35 per oz.. Well, we don't have the tube so you are going to get a baggie, but you only have to pay $1.95 per oz so jump up and down and clap your hands over such a great deal!! The only thing left is to choose what you need. In case you can't do that, we offer an assortment of (10) packages which will include clear plus at least six (6) different colors.

The Color N’ Fly kit includes (5) foam gliders that the kid in your life uses his or her imagination to design and fit together. With the (6) included markers, your young artist will color in the lines (or ignore them) on the fuselages and wings, and then add (or don’t) any of a huge batch of stickers to create an airline, air force or a handful of the most-different looking gliders the neighborhood has ever seen. Because they’re foam, they’re safe pretty much anywhere. Gliders have plastic nose-cones for durability, and will be 7-7/8" long with 5-3/4" wingspans. For ages 5+.

Throw some at the wall and see. On the other hand, butterfly stickers are a different kettle of insects altogether. You’ll get (2) sets of (21) butterfly stickers ranging in size from 1-1/8” to 1-5/8” wingspans in assorted pretty colors. That’s (42) stickers total.

Or pflöcke und stöcke maybe. Und strick (rope). These are tent pegs, sections of poles and rope from the East German military, which has been kaputt for some time. You’ll get (10) pole segments at 15-1/2" long x 15/16" dia that will interlock, plus (14) 9-7/8" long x 1-1/2" galvanized steel stakes, and (5) 48" x 3/16" dia lengths of pre-knotted rope, all in a camo pouch. Better go find some German canvas.

Shibusa Studio has miniaturized the business of table-top photography, which we do a lot of, and you should too, don’t you think? Their folding plastic photo booths have a 4-1/4” dia hole in the tops with an attached cover, (2) COB LED light strips powered via a USB port or wall adapter that you supply. (We like these). Also have black and white foam backdrops, and fit into black canvas zippered carrying cases. You pick: the small studio measuring approx 11” cubed when assembled; or the large studio, 15-5/8” cubed when assembled. For 3-D photos, add the motorized white plastic photo-booth turntable. Measures 7-3/4" dia x 2-1/4" tall, and will spin approx 5 rpm when plugged in via the 5-foot USB cord. Rated to hold up to 11 lbs.

A phenomenal glow-in-the-dark star finder is the perfect solution for learning constellations. Charge it up inside or with a flashlight before you head out to enjoy the night sky or use a red flashlight outside to preserve your night-vision. Shows star positions for any date and time; just match up the two on the outer ring and you'll be able to tell Betelgeuse from Aldebaran. Wondering if that bright thing over there is a planet? Check the chart on the back to find out which constellation the four visible planets are in and impress your family members with your new found knowledge. Also includes a self-contained zodiac dial on reverse side.

We think these started life in the Chinese military, but they won’t say. They’re small garment bags in a heavy rubberized fabric. Measure 24" x 15-1/2” x 5-1/2" but have a set of double-snap male closures with (3) alternate sets of female clips so you can keep it full length, fold it once, or roll it up to 1/3-size. Has zippers halfway down for loading ease, and the handle will detach and re-attach in another position when folded smaller. Also has a 2” x 1-1/2” ID-card slot.

Hexagonal silicone. Whatever you like to call them. You definitely need a bunch of these translucent white, six-sided silicone discs. We've seen three sizes, but there could be more (that's surplus for ya.): 2-7/32", 2-9/16" and 3-11/16” across and all 1/16” thick. Probably from a gasket factory, but they’d make dandy vibration pads, non-slip feet, Hobbit hot pads, shot-glass coasters, earrings or very odd bouncy floor tiles. We'll pick a handful of assorted sizes for you.

That’d be tough to heal, but easier if you had this box of (24) rolls of 1/2” wide x 10 yards of latex-free, transparent surgical tape. (We did the math.) From Select® Medical Products.

No, really. Stop scraping your fingernails along the tape trying to find the end. That’s not sanitary anyway. Try this handy medical-tape dispenser with a cover. Includes the white/clear plastic dispenser plus (2) 30-foot rolls of 1” wide white latex-free cloth medical tape.

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.

Mega-useful aluminum tape. A 2" wide x 50-yard roll of .004” thick aluminum on a 3” core. Has a paper backing and is conductive on the non-adhesive side. Reflects heat and light, useful for seaming riveted aluminum sheets, particularly good for cold weather and metal repairs. Our fisherman friends love to wrap wooden lures with it and work it with a piece of soft wood for metal-finish effects.

Good things come in (2) different small packages. Our pocket microscopes are compact and perfect for a clear, close look at stamps, coins, flora, insects or assorted minutiae. The 30X version measures 5-3/4" x 1-5/8" x 3/4" in black plastic with a focus knob, on/off switch, small LED for illumination, and a vinyl carrying case. Requires (2) "AA"s.

Magnifies from 60-100X, with coarse- and fine-focus knobs, and has a vinyl carrying case.

They're back! Those of a certain age will remember being taught to crouch under their school desks in case of nuclear attack. Shortly thereafter, the United States gov't, in its infinite wisdom zoomed about the cityscape plastering yellow and black signs on buildings with basements to designate them as fallout shelters wherein it stored cans of water and radiation meters which were so insensitive that any reading could only mean the past tense of crispiness. We have a quantity of these signs, brand new in the sense that they have never been plastered, but antique in the sense that they are Cold War U.S. Civil Defense originals and may show slight wear from being stored. 10" x 14" , 25 ga. galvanized steel. They have a black base coat on the front over sprayed with orange/yellow reflective paint in the familiar design rendered nearby by our faithful artist. This is a true collector's item fetching $50 and up in antique stores! A tasteful addition to even the dullest basement hangout.

Red is the new olive drab. Unless it’s navy blue, or orange, or camo. You pick from our rainbow of new repro bags designed like German Field Medic’s bags, in heavy-duty 22-oz cotton canvas with a pair of leather buckled straps and adjustable web shoulder strap in black, and a white cross on a red circle on the front flap. Bags measure 11-1/2” x 12-1/2” x 3-1/4”.

It’s the Forever Belt of late night fame, the no-holes ratcheting cinch for your expanding waist. Features a 32-position gear rack on the underside in 1/4” increments in lieu of holes. In 1-1/8” wide black leatherette, it can be cut to length and will fit waists from 22” to 44”.

You get a 4-pack of standard 1/4" hex-shaped driver bits that are 6" long for those hard-to-reach screw-heads. Includes a 1/4" slotted driver plus #1 & #2 Phillips and a #2 Robertson in case you're Canadian.

Looks like an antacid tablet, a white disc 13/16" dia x 3/8" thick, but drop it in water and the rayon instantly expands into a 9" x 13" reusable wipe. Can you say handy? No mother should ever leave the house without a few in her purse and no glove compartment is complete without a handful. Click here and watch the magic! 

Not in bad taste, but paper tape that will stick to a surface when keeping a measurement is just as important as taking one. This 32-foot x 15/16” wide measuring tape has the stickiness of a sticky notes so it will stay put while you drill or cut, or whatever. Marked in 1/16” increments, it’s particularly handy for hanging pictures. Made in Canada, where they know how to stick with things.

Konvenient for kamping! And kramped kitchen kabinets! These nesting, collapsible silicone and plastic bowls are made for campers but they work great at home, too, particularly for apartment-dwellers, whose space is precious. In gray and powder blue. You’ll get an 8” dia x 5” deep bowl, a 7” dia x 3-3/4” deep bowl, and a 7-1/2” x 4-1/2” deep colander. Smoosh them down and they turn into one 11” wide (counting handles) x 2-1/2” deep nest. Pay no attention to the temperature misprint on the package; these bowls are good for up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Your long nasal nightmare is over because we now carry a battery-operated nose-hair trimmer. (Also good for another nightmare--ear hair.) The steel blade is recessed so there’s no danger of becoming a latter-day Vincent Van Gogh or Tycho Brahe (just look him up). Easy to clean under the tap, and comes with a blade cover and brush. Runs on (1) “AA” battery (included), and measures just 4-3/4” long.

This single-earphone 200 ohm military headset straps around your head with a second OD strap over the top from ear to ear, all adjustable with hook-and-loop ends. Manufactured in the mid 1980s in the USA for the US military, we know not which branch. Part #s include DAAB07-85-C-E613 FSCM 80063. Has a 4-1/2" foot cord terminating with a BNC connector.

You’ll never lose a water-balloon fight again with this amazing set. Has (37) water balloons on 8” straws, all attached to a single garden-hose threaded nozzle. Turn on the hose and watch all the balloons fill up until they’re approx 6” dia, when they’ll fall off, self-sealed and banded, ready to throw. Has an adapter for a regular faucet. Buy in bulk--the manufacturer says you can fill 100 balloons a minute!

Our each is (1) snap-lid clear plastic storage box with (6) compartments holding (28) 1-1/4” threaded stacking canisters to keep those hard-to-manage beads in. You’ll get (26) containers at 11/16” deep; and (2) containers at 1-3/4” deep. Not a beader? Use them for insects, glitter, colored sand, tacks, fishing flies, diamonds or your collection of homemade flavored lip glosses. Storage box measures 10-3/4” x 5-1/4” x 1-3/4, and the compartment dividers are removable.

A neat bag-o-wood, suitable for model-making, art projects and hobbies of all sorts. The balsa bag weighs almost 3/4 of a pound, and is a random assortment of balsa that may range from 1/8" square strips to a 5" long x 2" square hunk, and lots in between. The basswood may have half a dozen 5" long x 2" square pieces, 8" x 3" sheets, and a whole bunch of 1/16" to 1/8" strips. Whatever the variety of sizes, either bag will total approx 72 cubic inches in all, which is more than it sounds like.

This MW® regulated power operates on 120 VAC and delivers constant accurate power to a video game, radio, portable TV, or any device drawing up to 2.0 amps. The 5 1/8" x 3-7/8" x 2-5/8" housing has a rotary dial to designate 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9 or 12 VDC output, and heavy-duty red and black binding posts.

More fun than a canned ham, this flip-top storage tin has a train set inside, with a plastic steam engine, tender, boxcar and caboose, as well as a 12-piece track that forms a 10" x 22" oval. You add a "AA" battery and you're the engineer. 

Mats-R-Us, and we’ll prove it with this 3-piece set of flexible cooking mats, including a 15" x 12" white plastic, flexible chopping mat; a 13" x 15-1/2" black plastic (PTFE) grill mat to keep smaller items from falling onto the coals; and our fave, a 14-1/2" square crispy cooker that prevents frozen pizza soggification, among other things.

Nah, we don’t know either. Ours has that number, but yours may not, and it’s removable anyway. It’s an olive drab canvas bag 30” x 29” in a vaguely torso/chubby clover shape, e.g. with approx 8” bump-outs at the the top and on two upper sides. Like a garment bag for a fancy dress uniform with a giant collar and big epaulets. (OK, we made that up, but still.) Has a double zipper over the top, canvas handle grips, and adjustable 40” straps so it can be worn like a backpack. (French vets are encouraged to call us and explain.)
