Astronautical kids will love this pack of (12) little space-suited astronaut figures, a couple of them holding flags, and all at 2-5/8” tall. Yes, that would be the total number of ’nauts who walked on the moon, although (4) of these figures have removed their helmets, which would have been a big mistake in a real-life moon visit.

The 5/32” bore in the center of this small plated neodymium magnet just makes it easier to mount. Measures 3/4" dia x 1/4" thick with a pull of approx 7 lbs. Works great with #6 or #8 flat head screws.

It's easier to see. Our each is (100) feet of 3/32" dia high visibility neon-green type-III paracord. Made of 7-strand, 550-lb test nylon, it's color-fast and resistant to rot, UV light and mildew. A camper's dream! Also makes really snazzy bootlaces.

No self-respecting number cruncher can afford to be seen without one of these fashion classics. We'll pick out (3) black or white vinyl pocket protectors in the traditional 5-1/2" x 3-1/2" size. Order quickly; It's only a question of time before these are seen on the runways in Milan.

Tired of having to hold your old, worn test leads just so to make a connection? Then it's time to upgrade your test bench. Our each is a set of (4) 36" long test leads with 16AWG wire, and booted 3/4" alligator clips on each end. You'll get (1) each in red, black, white and yellow.

This 3/8" dia braided orange nylon tow rope is a tad over 13 feet and rated for a max load of 6,613 lbs, which should pretty much make it good for whatever you’re driving, including the weight-class-leading 6,052-lb Rolls Royce Phantom EWB (Extended Wheel Base). Includes diecast 3/4” ID x 2-7/8” snap hooks at each end, with rubber non-slip grips.

Time was, you could easily hold a phone on your shoulder and have both hands free to make notes and hold your drink. Those days are back with this handset that mimics the Bell System's model 500, in use 1950 to 1984 and designed by the venerable Henry Dreyfuss. Stick the standard 1/8" mini-plug into your cell phone, tablet or PC and you're a mad man on the phone. Includes answer button, volume control and a coiled cord longer than you need. Now just choose a retro color that suits you!

Those would be little plastic vials, like these, which are 3” long x 1/2” dia in translucent white with black gasketed screw caps. Hold 2ml (0.067 oz), which is all you need for certain things--and hey, it’s your lab or worskshop. Made in USA.

"Very interesting," our chief bottle washer said. This 3-1/16" tall x 1-7/16" dia corked glass bottle has a cream-colored rubber coating on the outside and a 15/32" ID mouth, with a little lip like an old-time baby bottle. The coating may make the bottle less likely to break if you drop it, It will certainly make it less likely to scatter shards of glass all over the floor! Holds approx 30ml (1 oz). Now with corks included and perfect for writing special messages on.

Start with our selection of punches from Paper Shapers®. We'll pick (5) different paper punches, with cutouts approx 3/8" to 1/2" across, from a staggering variety of shapes, including hammers, leaves, birds, state outlines, animals, fish, tools, geometric shapes and many others. The punches themselves are 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" ovals with a thumb press.

From Brazil, rescued from the guts of quartz crystal antennae, these clear rock crystals are pebble sized (some maybe 3/8" long, most smaller). We're thinking classrooms and microscopes, small jewelry items, or, at these prices, a nice little bowl of crystals for the table. Each small box contains approx 2-1/4 oz of crystals. We'll send you (2) boxes, which will about fill a test tube if combined.

Pure surplus: 11” x 4” x 1/4” thick oblongs (which is to say, rectangles with rounded ends) of dense, black nitrile rubber. It’s like padding, matte on one surface and glossy on the other. Great for dampening vibration, or wherever you need cushioning. Ready to use as is, and ready to cut to shape.

Life, and needle-threading, is hard enough, so this little tailor's friend has a 3/32" loop with a white LED below it so you can see what you’re doing. Includes a pair of button-cell batteries and the threader has a cover plus a little hook so you can string it on something and find it in your sewing box.

We’d start with triops, lovely little crustacean-ettes that have been around since Triassic days. You pick the Ghost Triops, see-through honeys, or the larger Gigantic Triops (gigantic among lesser beasts). In both cases you get eggs, baby and adult food, and a pipette. You add a bright light source, bottled natural spring water and a small tank. They hatch in a day or three, are full grown in a month or so, and have a life-cycle of up to 90 days.  Ages 8+.

Our each here is (5) 5/8” warm white COB LEDs that are insanely bright (think: airport runway) and rated for 1A at 32VDC. Mounted on PC boards from 3/4” to 1”. Marked for polarity, with solder tabs for power. No lumen rating, but don’t stare at them head-on if you like your retinas because, like we said, they’re awfully bright. And as with all COBs, a heat sink backing is also a good idea.
