Don’t get too excited--we don’t have Tesla parts. But we do have this honey of a reversible 12VDC gear motor from a kid’s ride-able toy car. Spins approx 75 rpm, draws 800mA no load and stalls at 11.5A via a 1/4” dia gear that runs through a multi-gear box to a 6-spoked, 2-1/2” dia hub. Will run with as little as 3VDC with plenty of torque. Unit measures 7-3/4" x 3-3/4" x 4-3/4" in a teardrop shape, with a pair of 3” leads and a Molex connector.

If you had a 10-foot loaf of bread, these would be the only way to close the plastic bag. They're 34" long x 1/2" dia with flexible metal cores covered by a thick layer of foam that grips tightly. Tie up big tools and cables, make ad hoc hooks, tie down outdoor furniture, organize sports equipment, wrap sails and gear of all sorts (we think they’ll float), or make emergency repairs. Our each is a 2-pack of basic-Blue or bright green giant ties.

Stick this 15-foot flexible LED light strip on anything indoors and your otherwise dull life becomes a light show. The strip is self-adhesive, 3/8" wide with (238) flat LEDs capable of (16) colors, (1) color at a time. A floor-mount power supply plugs into the wall, and into a control box with buttons for color, speed and mode/demo. The battery-operated remote lets you pick the color, choose (4) pre-set brightness's, select an auto shut-off time from 30-120 minutes, pick the color order you prefer and swap modes of operation, including flash, (2) fades, (2) jumps, quick, slow and auto. Yes, you can daisy-chain two strips together for twice the fabulousness, and yes, you can cut the strip anywhere you like if the fabulousness is just a little too long. The box says Bluetooth compatible, but we found the app not very reliable and phone/tablet compatibility is unknown but we like the remote control better anyway.

Remember those slap bracelets that swept the nation a few years back? This 18" long x 3/4” wide easy-to-read ruler is sort of like those in that it stays bent and then snaps open again, but nothing like those in that this is a tool, not a fashion accessory. Or is it? Until you decide on that, consider that, tool-wise, it has magnets on the end to keep itself shut, but also to attach it to dry-erase boards or anything metal. Has standard 1/16" markings with clear lines and large digits.

You might need this “LAUNDRY” hamper to get your duds off the floor. Measures approx 20” tall x 13” x 9-1/2” and it’s flexible and foldable, just like your clothes.

Maybe the pilot hole was too small, your driver bit was dull or – sorry – your screw was low-quality. You can’t just sit there stripped and stuck.

We’re sure the Italian Air Force drinks vino only when they’re grounded, but those folks know how to live la vida dolce, capish? This glass carafe, in new condition, is etched with the Italian Air Force eagle symbol. Stands 9-1/2” tall with a 4-1/2” wide belly and a slender 3” tall neck. Holds a full liter. Made in France, where they know a thing or two about wine, too. Serve any kind of drink in it, though. It’s all about the sweet logo—and the story. Oh, should we serve it in my Italian Air Force carafe?

Hydroponic scissors. Yeah, a first for us, too, but these Titanium-bonded, non-stick, precision-ground scissors are corrosion- and adhesion-resistant, with soft, flexible handles. Short, 1-3/4” long blades, like bonsai folks use, except these are made for people who grow Boston bibb lettuce without dirt. Paul the buyer assures us, however, that these scissors won't know or care if you use them to open bags of nacho chips.

Let’s say the only way in is through the window, and the glass is really thick, and once you’re inside you’re going to have to leave a note. Wouldn’t you know it, someone came up with a gadget for that very scenario. It’s a tactical pen, 5” long x 1/2" at it's widest in black metal with a pocket clip on the cap. Always at the ready is a glass breaker tip. But unscrew the o-ring sealed cap to reveal a hidden pen with a replaceable high-volume cartridge. This is a solid piece, nice enough for the aforementioned hyper-specific mission, but also solid enough to use in self-defense (no joke). We like it as a nice pen to keep around the house, and if we ever need to get out through a window—hey, bonus.

It doesn't get much cooler in the robotic-arm-kit game. The assembled STEM educational 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 (100g), 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 search light and over-torque and gear-breakage alarms, which is more than your arm has. Requires a diagonal cutter and Philips screwdriver for assembly of its 200+ pieces and is made for ages 12 and up.

Before robots take over completely, it might be a good idea to learn a little about how they work. Start with this Elenco® Joysticks Robotic Arm Kit. After building it, you’ll understand mechanical basics and be able to watch the inner parts working in tandem (mechanical rods, planetary gears and transmission) as you control the arm’s (4) axes in (8) different directions simultaneously and easily with (2) joysticks. Pick up objects of different sizes and shapes with the convertible (2)- and (4)-claw grippers. Fully constructed, the machine measures approx 20” long x 10-1/2” high x 6-1/2” wide. Requires (2) “D” batteries, not included, but we’ve got them for you. Ages 10+
Before robots take over completely, it might be a good idea to learn a little about how they work. Start with this Elenco® Joysticks Robotic Arm Kit. After building it, you’ll understand mechanical basics and be able to watch the inner parts working in tandem (mechanical rods, planetary gears and transmission) as you control the arm’s (4) axes in (8) different directions simultaneously and easily with (2) joysticks. Pick up objects of different sizes and shapes with the convertible (2)- and (4)-claw grippers. Fully constructed, the machine measures approx 20” long x 10-1/2” high x 6-1/2” wide. Requires (2) “D” batteries, not included, but we’ve got them for you. Ages 10+
Skivvy-sewing lessons? Nah, just go commando. But if you want to make your own drawers, as in places to keep stuff, try this small drawer slide. Measure 7” long, and extend to approx 12”. Drilled with a plethora of holes to screw it to the sides of the drawers you made. Or the ones you already have and want to slide. Note, this is a single slide, so unless you're replacing a broken one, you'll need to order two.

These laminated, 12" x 17-3/8" mats have full-color fronts, black-and-white backs. Choose the United States Map, Stars & Constellations, the Periodic Table of Elements or The Metric System.

And this one will, running on rubber-band power after you spend a few happy hours putting it together.

Includes (19) spare parts.

Safety is as safety does these days, and we recommend these high-quality, safety goggles, unvented for maximum splatter protection and ANSI Z87.1-rated. Measure 6” wide x 3-5/8” tall x 3-1/8” deep. The black elastic strap is adjustable, and the flexible sides and top allow for a better seal against the face. One size fits most adults, and Pat, the boss around here, slipped them over his glasses, no problem. Goggles are sealed in a bag and the vendor says sterile if un-opened, which is good since you just washed your hands. We’ve seen them selling for $9-plus in the Ama-zone. Our price is better, right? Our bulk pricing makes them great for the workplace or schools.

Yes, there’s a scientific explanation, but we prefer to think this magnetizing/demagnetizing tool relies on magic. Stick a screwdriver head in the bottom, it’s magnetized. Stick it in the top, it’s demagnetized. Fun for the whole family. Measures 2” square x 1-1/4” with stair-step ports for blades of different sizes. Never drop a screw again.
