We know you’re wondering why we’re selling these handsome, regular-looking wallets. Because they’re not regular—that’s why! These RFID security wallets from Buxton® keep your credit card numbers and other personal information in your wallet, not in the hands of cyber thieves. We’ve got (2) styles, both nylon with a hook-and-loop closure flap in black leather. Each has all the windows and slots you’d ever want. We’ll pick one for you—either the tri-fold in blue that’s almost black, or the definitely black bi-fold. Both are standard size, 4” x 3”. Pat loves his not only for the identity protection but also for the stretchability of the nylon since he has way too many credit cards. They’re pre-priced at $22.99 each, but we’re selling them for way less than half of that. That’s why you come to us, right?

We don’t know how much this GE light fixture bar weighs, but it’s pretty light. More importantly, it throws a lot of great LED light—698 lumens, diffused, with no hot spots.

Or under it, or somewhere. These 1/4" thick cork rubber sheets are approx 22” x 16”, and they’re surplus from a gasket manufacturer. They make great vibration dampers, and can be cut to fit for furniture and floor protection. Also good to deaden sound in the storage of tools, and pots and pans. Various black streaks through the brown cork may militate against bulletin-board use, but then again maybe not since the bulletins will cover that anyway. And, yes, they're perfect if your hobby just happens to be gasket-making.

It’s like a travel alarm got jealous of a smartphone. Measures 4-1/2” long x 1-3/4” in a rounded triangular shape. Functions as a clock, alarm, LED flashlight, and voice recorder that will take (12) notes/messages of (10) seconds each.

In black and silver “for that high tech executive look.” You add a pair of “AA” batteries.

We believe this 12V LED light is a takeout from a small tractor. Also, we’re not positive, but it looks new, as in never-used. Surplus!

We gotta stay, we love a nice water bottle. This one is made of brushed stainless steel and holds (27) oz. Stands 10-1/2” tall x 3” dia at the base. Mouth is 2” dia, with no sharp edges, and the black cap (with either a green or blue accent), had a nice, comfortable finger loop. Screws closed and seals easily, too.

We can’t stop popping the tops on these plastic pop-top vials. Measure 2-3/4" tall x 1-3/4" dia and look vaguely like the bigger sibling of an old film canister, except these are clear so you can always see how much is in them. Lid snaps tightly closed, and you squeeze the sides to pop it open again. Try to do it just once and then stop. Impossible. If you forget how to do it, after doing it fourteen times in a row when you first get yours, instructions are on the lid. Use them for pills or breath mints or anything you’d put in little canisters you love popping open

This buckish knife from Alpha Outpost is a heavy-duty—and weighty—single-blade pocket knife. Hang it at your side, but you might want to use the built-in belt clip so it doesn’t drag down your jeans. This is a solid piece, understand? Measure 8” long open, 4-3/4” closed with a 3-3/4” locking blade that’s 1” across at its widest. Handle is a wood-and-metal combination, and it’s got a hole to hang keys from.

If you’re looking at this doozy straight-on, it’ll look like a standard light bulb coming out of the wall. But the back is flat, see? So it’s only half a bulb. Press the front and it lights up in blue LED splendor for 60 seconds, thanks (and you’re welcome) to the included (3) “AAA” batteries. Use the included mounting tape to stick it to a wall and you’ll soon forget what it was like to flip a switch. Measures approx 5” x 3”, you know, like a light bulb.

These compact scissors from Tolsen Tools are technically Electrician’s Scissors, designed for the telecom and electrical applications. That means cutting through your stuff is a snap. Scissors are 5-1/2” long overall, and their 2" long stainless steel blades are serrated to grip cables and wires. But a copywriter just used them to slice through thick cardboard like it was butter. Big, round finger grips are comfortable, too. These scissors are a joy to scissor.

Pully, pullish—what’s the difference? This sturdy pulley has a 3" x 1-1/4" aluminum body with a fixed eye/loop that you can attach to something. Wheel is approx 1/2” wide, so keep that in mind when you’re thinking about what size rope you’re going to pass through it. Get creative—it’s what you do, you’re a Surpie—and send us pictures of what you make with a few of these.

These are the gold standard of twist ties, not to be confused with those skinny little suckers that come on all electronic cords in the known universe.

Small for a TV but perfect for keeping the bacon grease from spattering all over your kitchen, and for straining pasta over the sink.

We like these small pliers and cutters - they're a higher quality than most of the Chinese import tools we're offered. They are drop-forged, high-carbon steel with double-leaf springs, lap joints and rubberized foam handles. There is a trim 6" needle nose, and a 4-1/2" mini-round diagonal cutter.
