Well, a pair, but that's a lot in the tank biz. This very cool kit has translucent green frames, pre-wired circuit boards and motor harnesses, and all of the steering and suspension parts you could shake a stick at. The result, despite the kit's "Titan Tank" name, is TWO 5" square x 3" tall wireless remote controlled tanks (with separate controllers) that fire invisible infrared shells at one another, and reverse direction when hit. Each controller has (4) channels, so if you buy (2) sets of (2), everyone can join in the action. Each Tank takes (8) AA batteries, that you supply, but remember they light up, shoot beams of IR, make noise, and move around, so you're getting a lot of bang for the battery. Includes a 15 page manual and circuit boards that are pre-assembled, so anyone from your 9 year old nephew to your tank commanding Grandpa should have an easy time assembling them.

Jarvis says: The regular retail on this was $64.95. Pat made a special buy, so don't delay, these won't last long.

Giving socks as a gift is lame only if they’re regular socks. If they’re special socks, like the ones we have, it’s one of the best gifts you can give. And PS, you can give a socks gift to yourself. We have (3) new designs, each in a cotton/poly/spandex blend. You pick: the 16” Day Tripper beach-themed socks, which are green with turquoise accents and palm trees, surfboards, cars, campers and RVs; the 16” Spells Trouble socks, which are maroon with black accents and sorcery symbols like pointed hats, crystal balls, skulls, candles and the moon; or the 20” Cold Things Being Cold socks, which are blue with red accents and various ice-cream treats.

We have nothing against disco balls. We’ve sold enough of them to fill a Bee Gees museum. But this USB-powered multicolor disco light, vaguely egg-shaped at 3-1/2” x 2-1/2”, is grabbing all our attention lately. Has an 8” gooseneck that doesn’t always support its weight, but we’ve all been there, right? More importantly, it sprays spinning colored flecks from one side and shines a white flashlight beam on the other with the press of a mode button. Powers on and off only when you plug/unplug the USB.

Why, you’re using this 164 feet of light-duty, green garden wire by RapiClip® to keep your garden neat and tidy, that’s why. Wire is 3/64” dia, meaning it’s super thin and bendy and wrappable. Time to get your plants in order. This stuff will help.

Not even Todd Rundgren fans will want to bang on this drum, but it’ll keep your food and drinks cool, though, because it’s a foam-insulated soft bag cooler with a double-zippered main compartment approx 11-1/2” dia, (2) deep, double-zippered side pockets with netting-sleeves, and (1) tighter zippered compartment on the front. Stands about 12” tall and 16” wide overall, and comes with a padded, adjustable shoulder strap. We tested it for leakage and it held water, unlike most of our arguments. In festive red with black accents.

Nothing beats a classic Hot Wheels® car except this, which is (3) of them. From Mattel®, this Hot Wheels® 3 set includes assorted die-cast cars that look fast even when they’re sitting still in the cardboard and plastic-window viewing packaging they come in. Each car is the standard Hot Wheels® size, about 3" long, but larger than life. Each set contains cars that range from standard production models to the wild and fantastical concept cars that Hot Wheels® is known for. Can’t beat a classic Hot Wheels® collection. It’s like baseball and apple pie.

Attenzione, military buffs and woodshoppers! This Italian military steel auger bit measures 13” long x 5/8" dia with a 1/2" base that has a flattened side.

John Singer Sargent didn’t use crayons for his watercolor paintings, but that’s only because he didn’t have them. He probably would have loved these (15) premium watercolor crayons from Faber-Castell®. The pigment-rich, washable paint is in the crayon itself, and the kit comes with a brush and storage tray. Crayons are triangular-shaped for more control, and their colors span the spectrum. Ages 3+.

These World War II Era British Lee Enfield No. 4 MK1 and MK2 spike bayonets are 10-1/2" long overall. That includes the approx 8” “pigsticker” spike packed in Cosmoline in a steel scabbard with a P37 webbed frog belt attachment. The bayonet you get may have MK1 or MK2 markings on it, or none at all, sadly we can’t accommodate requests for markings. It’s a piece of history either way.

You know why (3)-ring binders never go out of style, even with all the technology flying around our heads? Because they’re useful. They’re useful like the knife and fork—not much to improve on. This one’s blue, and PVC-free, with front and back panels that fully cover divider tabs and sheet protectors (which you provide). Also has (2) clear interior pockets and 2" round rings.

This clear glass, 8-oz decanter with a glass-topped stopper that has a plastic plug is one classy bottle. Measures approx 3-1/4” across at its widest, 2-1/2” deep at its deepest, and 5-3/4” tall, minus the stopper, which adds another 1-1/2”. Kind of oval shaped with a 1” wide neck, like something you’d see in a movie that involved perfumes or potions. From the Marilyn Miglin brand, if that means anything to you, and we’ll send you (2) of them.

A Gamecock is a bird, and a fine one at that, but we don’t have any of those. We do have (2) kinds of stopcocks, though. They’re valves used to control the flow of liquids or gasses, fluids—stuff like that. You’d know ’em to see ’em. Slightly different valves, both of which will accept 1/4" id tubing and have (1) input and (2) outputs. Originally for Veterinary usage, they are plastic, and you’ll get (5) no matter which kind you order.

Don’t use this blanket on your bed, but if you find yourself in the midst of flames, by all means, whip it out. It’s a flame-suppression/flame-catching blanket, and as the saying goes, it might save your life. Like Pat does all day long here, this blanket puts out fires. Made from 100% glass fabric, it has pull tabs for quick and easy release from the 13" x 8" x 1" black storage bag which is meant to hang from it's metal grommet for quick and easy access. At-a-glance instructions are printed on the bag, but basically you’ll want to drape the 40” x 40” blanket over the flames to seal off the air. Says it's intended for single use, but how many fires are you having anyway?

Don’t let Sir Winston Churchill, or even The Pogues’ brilliant 1985 album, quell your fervor for British Navy style. Nothing should keep you from wearing these smart, snappy, white shorts in size XL. Well, nothing besides frigid temperatures and the dates between Labor Day and Memorial Day! Shorts measure approx 17” long with built-in waist adjusters (approx 30"-35"), pleats and a single, buttoned back pocket. They’re used, but when shorts look this good, they’re going to get used. Tennis anyone?

Our best and prettiest-ever slices of polished agate, showing concentric rings of natural and dyed colors. The slices range from 3" to 4-1/2" across and from 1/8" to 3/16" thick. We've seen samples from milky white to blue, purple, red, yellow and brown. No two alike, by definition. We'll choose. Think scientific specimens, framed art, coasters, trivets, paperweights, or skipping stones for rich kids who don't want to search the beach for flat stones.

Made specifically for attaching to pill bottles, this 1-3/4" dia magnifier has a 2X acrylic lens with a blue tint that increases readability. It’s mounted on a ring and bracket with a rubber strap to hold it in place on the bottle and keep the lens an inch above the label/instructions.

Long nose, like Cyrano. Unlike Cyrano, these pliers measure 6" long in nickel-plated steel with mostly serrated jaws and a cutting edge near the pivot, where it ought to be. Handles are dipped in rubber to help prevent electrocution.

You’ve heard that a trillion times, and it’s true, but you don't listen to your mother anyway, do you? Especially since she’s the one who made the dinosaur cookies in the first place.

Set includes instructions and (3) cookie recipes, because dinosaurs didn't all taste the same.

What is a killer rare earth magnet? Well, once upon a time, a copywriter put this little magnet next to his computer monitor and got really pretty, wavy, aurora-like effects. And then got a new monitor! Don't try this at home. Our shiny, silver-colored 1" x 1" x 3/8" neodymium magnet looks innocent, but is industrial strength, pulling something like 25 lbs with enough strength left over to erase all your credit cards. And wreak havoc with your monitor.

Take a quick look at this cylinder-shaped olive drab heavy canvas duffle bag and you’ll think it’s standard issue GI. But surprise, soldier—it’s from the Chinese military.

Now you can make your own Pong-style, TV tennis game and while away days at a time just like your ancestors did. (It’s mysteriously compelling--go find an ancestor and ask.) Will work through any TV with NTSC video (via RCA jack inputs). For one or two players and has (4) levels of difficulty. No case, but there are standoffs. You add a pair of “AA” batteries.

No, O-rings. Get ’em here, because we got ’em. These black rubber (neoprene, we believe) O-rings are nominally 1-1/2” ID and 1/8” thick, and made in the USA. Use them for crafts, tiny ring toss games, in dioramas or dollhouses, as vibration pads, or in actual O-ring applications. Because, after all, they’re O-rings.

Well, if you had a crystal ball, you'd be able to see that there's a crystal ball in your future, and you'd know not to pass up this very, very nice glass gazing ball. It's 4-1/4" dia (and heavy) and comes with a footed dark-wood stand that spins smoothly. The stand is just over 3" dia. Together, the ball and stand are 6-1/4" tall.

Sextants came along after astrolabes but before GPS. (Just like you.) They're used for finding latitude and the distance between objects, and are still the non-electric, non-satellite-dependent backup for navigators. Ours is a beauty in solid brass with glass optical components, at a tiny price. Measures approx 4-5/8" x 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" overall and comes in a very nice wooden case. Includes instructions, which you're going to need unless you went to Annapolis where they still teach it. Handy for learning the principles of how a sextant works, but please don't try to find your way to Bora Bora with it, this one is more decorative than accurate.
