BEST SELLERS

These brand-spanking new 12VDC motors are made to move automobile seats but are willing to change. They spin at approx 190 rpm, draw 1.5A no load, and stall at approx 25A. Threaded shaft is at a right angle and is 4-1/8" x 7/16". Shaft thread is non-standard, so treat it as a smooth shaft and mount pulley or gear with a setscrew. Measures 5-5/8" x 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" overall, not counting the shaft, and has power terminals opposite the gearbox with (2) 1/4" mounting holes opposite the shaft. If you're looking for a power supply, we've got one. Just snip the plug of this regulated switching power supply and wire it up. 

This 300 Lumen LED light is a mighty mite. Just under 4-1/2" long x 1" dia, you slide the sleeve and the beam zooms from a flood to a don't-stare-into-this focused spot. In black or gun metal anodized aluminum, it's weatherproof and shockproof with a latching button switch and a pocket clip. Depress the button halfway when it's on and it goes into a rapid-flash mode for emergency signaling. Visible for 275 meters. Five hour life with the included 1-"AA" battery and a 110K+ hour bulb life.

Shaped like a thick hockey puck, this Bluetooth® speaker won’t knock your teeth out (like a real hockey puck) but it might blow your mind. Rechargeable and portable, the speaker measures 2-1/2” dia x 1-1/2” thick in dark blue with the logo of the bank whose name adorns a hockey rink in Our Nation's Capital. Feel free to cover it up, like the Blackhawks fans in our office did. Rechargeable batteries are lithium, which is better, and it charges via the included USB to micro-USB cord. Comes with a microphone, microSD card slot, volume control, play/pause/phone selector, and next-song feature. Sounds good enough for Paul to drown out Pat's ambient Australian heavy metal holiday music. Priced at half the MSRP.

Our each is a package of (2) steel tech rulers. One is 6” x 1/32” for the first 2-1/2” then 1/64” for the next 1/2” then 1/16” for the last 3”. The other is 150mm x 0.5mm. Both have sliding markers/pocket clips, and both have mm:inch tables on the reverse side. You’ll need excellent eyesight.

Works on all of them except the ones stuck to your eyeballs. Corrosion-Be-Gone is a gel made to remove the schmutz from all types of battery terminals, circuit boards and contacts, on everything from cars to computer boards. Our each is a 0.3 oz jar.

This isn't a book, but it's definitely book-ish. Looks like a leather-bound volume from the Bodleian but it's just a little wooden box, approx 8-1/2" x 5" x 2" (7" x 3-7/8" x 1-5/8" inside) that's perfect for stashing the jewels, cash, or whatever you need to stash in plain sight on the shelves.

You say your desktop or laptop computer doesn’t have Wi-Fi capability? Well, with this handy implement, voila—it will! (Pardon our French.) This LINKSYS™ N300 Wireless-N USB adapter couldn’t be easier to use. Plugs right into a standard USB slot, so you can connect your device to Wi-Fi with little setup. N-type Wi-Fi adapters can have a range of up to 175 ft and offer transfer speeds up to 300 Mbps, which means you can stream movies from almost anywhere in your house or even movies in your backyard. Also features advanced WPA2 security. Known as model AE1200-NP, it’s sold in gigantobox computer stores for $32, so get a bunch of ours while you still can.

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.

Don't toss it and buy a universal remote. (How many things are really universal, after all?) Try this jar of Keypad Fix, designed to clean and restore conductivity to the carbon on the keys and the copper PC board pads that make up the rubber-coated switches on remotes, game controllers, and security keypads. Contains enough to coat over 200 button contacts.

Our each is a dozen nickel-plated 2” long steel alligator clips with PVC sleeves but no boots because they’re made for electrical testing or soldering. You’ll get (6) each with red and black sleeves.

"Laser" safety lights each with super bright LEDs run by (2) "AA" batteries that you supply. It's square and has a flashing or steady LED lamp visible up to 2500 feet (distance may be exaggerated). A 2" x 2-1/2" red plastic reflecting lens covers (3) lamps. Hook it on your belt or pack with the belt clip, use the included elastic strap for arm or leg mounting, or the included aluminum flange to attach it to your bike. It's great for general use as a warning device or as an emergency signal for roadside breakdowns.

Wouldn't you rather hear that than "Is that a cell phone in your pocket...?" Yes, you would, and you will if you strap on this olive green w/ woodland camo highlights phone holster. Made to strap (we like saying that) to your leg above your knee, like Wyatt Earp's Colt (or any number of the army surplus gas masks we sell), but you can also attach it to your arm or some other handy body part because the two straps extend from 15" to 27" and 10" to 13". The weather resistant holster is 7" x 6" with a 5" zipper, and the phone is operable in situ, as it were, through the transparent protective covering. Manufacturer calls it a "Hunter's Phone Holster," but don't let that stop you from wearing it around the neighborhood. Also adaptable, we think, to small dogs.

It'll be like going outside again, and we need that. Slip the confines of the home office and classroom with these VR BOSS reality 3D glasses with earphones. In black and white and made for 4.7” - 6.2” smartphones. You’ll get a 120-degree, wide-angle field of view (FoV) and an adjustable IPD (interpupillary distance). Supports 0-800 degrees myopia and 0-400 degrees hyperopia viewing, has an auto-demist lens, volume control and a mic for answering phone calls and talking to your virtual playmates. They weigh less than a pound, and measure approx 8-1/2” x 7-2/3” x 4-3/4”. Pat says they work great with online videos like Youtube but remember to turn the Zoom camera off.

No, not you. We meant whatever you attach this nifty motion-sensor alarm to. Measures 4-1/4” x 2” x 1-1/8” on a 4-1/2” cord. When armed, any motion will set off an 80dB alarm. We like it for purses slung over chair backs in restaurants, left luggage, hotel doors, rental cars, like that. Easy on, easy off, and sounds for (20) seconds, then shuts off. You add a 9V battery.

Extend the reach of your favorite USB 2.0 port with this handy 6 ft. desk mounted extension cable from GE™. Male on the end that goes to port you want to extend, and has a flat adhesive base on the business end, making it perfect for mounting to a desk. It's clear jacketed with visible cable shielding for reinforcement which will also help to prevent the cable from kinking because no one likes when their USB gets kinked and they lose all that data pressure.

This 3-5/16” dia double-sided wire gauge wheel measures from 0-36 AWG on one face and from .005" to .325" on the other. Not sure how to use this gauge? Just strip a bit of wire and slide it through the gauge slots, not the holes, until you find the smallest one it'll fit through. It’s for non-ferrous metals, which is pretty much all of what you run across anyway, unless you’re Ferrous Bueller.

From ET Tech, this series 23 liquid micro-pump draws less than 300mA at 4-6VDC (5VDC nominal) with a liter-per-minute flow rate and up to a 3-foot lift. Not submersible, but suitable for hot-water apps and continuous duty. Measures 1" x 1" dia with a barbed 1/4" right-angle outlet and a 3/8" OD inlet on top. Great for fountains!

You’ll get big sound from this little Xoopar Turbo Bluetooth speaker. Pat gives it a 5 out of 5 on the sound-to-price ratio. Perfect for blasting AC/DC in the office.

You can also use the included 3.5mm aux cable. Measures approx 5-1/2” long x 2-3/4” wide x 2-1/2” tall, which makes it suitable for any place with a cranny. Also comes with a black metal perforated case with a blue top.
