BEST SELLERS

In 1958, Buddy Holly came out of radios like these. This retro version of the first transistor radios measures 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 1" in dark blue with a wire handle that doubles as an antenna. AM works better than the FM, but who listened to FM in 1958? Plenty loud (guaranteed to not fade away) with classic thumb-wheel tuning and volume. You add a pair of “AAA” batteries. To make things even more like 1958, carry the radio in your shirt pocket.

This nicely made 13-piece file set has a dozen diamond-encrusted files at 2, 4 and 6mm wide x 1-3/16” long with 120, 180, 300, and 400 grit surfaces. Includes a colleted 4-3/4” long aluminum handle, Go rub something the right way.

This rounded 2” karambit-style blade, called the Hideaway Knife, comes in a quick-release, hard shell sheath that’s olive tan to match the hand grip. Blade looks like the talon of an eagle, and you can hang it (in the sheath), around your neck (black beaded necklace included), or stuff it into your boot or pocket.

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.

Just because your radio is square doesn’t mean your music is. Actually, this radio is a cube. It’s also transparent, letting you can see the electronics inside. Antenna extends to 9” and picks up both AM and FM frequencies. Has a 3.5mm headphone jack on one side, easy to use tuning and volume/power dials on the other, and a big mesh-covered speaker on the front. Cube sides are 3” each. Requires (2) “AA” batteries, not included, but available. Comes in a clearish transprarent plastic shell.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Stocking cap, actually, or (Navy) watch cap, but the hip kids call them beanies now, so we’ll try our darnedest to stay “with it.” This black acrylic knit beanie lights up with 5 white LED's. Has a small battery holder with a little switch under the fold. Put this one size fits most hat on when you walk the dog, shovel snow or shooting hoops at night. They come with (2) CR2032 button-cell batteries that work but may need to be replaced soon. Jarvis loves you so we will include two extra sets at no charge. Now go shovel your driveway, it looks terrible.

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. Shaft Thread 7/16"-8 ACME thread w/M6x1 LH at end

Ear buds, period. These are your standard, everyday versions—except the cords on these are green, which works well on March 17, even if bars aren’t back to full capacity. They fit standard headphone jacks, and have a mic and a clip to hold it. Cables are approx 40”. No case, but at this price we recommend getting a pair for every desk, end table, glove compartment, purse and pocket you have. And a pair each for all your St. Paddy’s Day-reveling friends, too. Green wires and black buds.

Little is the operative word here. These surface-mount LEDs are perfect for hobby trains, dollhouses, even flashlights, anywhere you need tiny but bright lights. Color is white with a luminous intensity of 1000-1300 mcd (millicandelas), 2.8-3.4 volts, and a color temperature of 6500K. View angle is 140 degrees.

Jarvis Says: These require soldering so if you are not familiar with the process these are not for you.

Your laptop is tough, but like the rest of us, it appreciates a little comfort. This 11-1/2" x 15" neoprene zippered case/sleeve is uber flexible, soft and padded to protect your investment. Big enough to fit a laptop that’s 10-1/2" x 14", or maybe a smidge larger. In white, with a tasteful black border and zipper on (3) sides.

Order quickly; It's only a question of time before these are seen on the runways in Milan.

Snap this tiny JCamera onto the temple of your glasses and it's like Major Boothroyd himself sent you out to follow Auric Goldfinger.
