BEST SELLERS

Micro tactical cord measures .046" (1.18mm) dia on 125-foot spools. Made in the USA by Atwood Rope Mfg., it's UV and rot resistant with a 100-lb test strength. Lotsa solid and blended colors and we'll just grab (3) different-colored spools for you to save you the trip to our warehouse.

K & S makes great tubing, rod and sheet stock for hobbyists and DIYers, but all of those pieces have ends. Knowing that hobbyists and DIYers are creative folk who love bits and pieces and hate waste, they offer big ol' (and little ol') bags of end scrap. Two sizes of bags to choose from, for all of those projects you will definitely have in the future, not to mention the countless ideas you'll get when you see the assortment you receive. Please Note: Since these bags are full of cut ends, no two bags will be the same and the included materials will always vary bag to bag. #320 is a smaller sized tubing & rod only assortment and #707 is nearly a pound of larger sized flats, tubes & rods in a larger bag. 

Although they work best next to steel. You’ll get a whole bunch (that’s 25) of ceramic magnets at 3/4” dia and either 1/4” thick or 3/16” thick. Some packs might have a center bore approx 1/4”, and some might be solid. (We’ll just grab what’s on top, OK?)

Looking for a very, very, very long refrigerator magnet? At 15 ft, this 3/8" wide x 1/16" thick magnetic strip should just about go up one side, across the top, and down the other side. It's flexible, but can be broken if bent back against itself -- which means that small children can make craft magnets without having to cut the strip or themselves! We love it when a plan comes together!

Pair of alnico bar magnets, each 7/16" x 1/4" x 3". Magnetized end to end with the North pole marked, the North end painted red and the South pole painted blue. Come with a pair of keepers and a wood separator bar.

Little-bitty horseshoe magnet, for traditionalists. Just 1-1/4" across x 1" x 5/16" thick. Red-painted Alnico, with approx 2.9 lbs of pull (ignore the 2 lb on the label) it includes a little steel keeper for when it's not sticking to a tiny horse's foot.

Beats us, frankly, but this black plastic cover, 1-3/4” x 1-1/2” x 1/4” (not unlike a tiny toilet seat cover) is hiding a really nice 1” dia x 1/8” (think: quarter size) plated neodymium magnet, with at least a 8-lb pull, inside. The mystery is that the cover won’t open unless you break it. The magnet grabs fine in the case or out of it. Tap it on its side with a hammer to crack open the case and reveal nothing but magnet.

It’s a scientific breakthrough! Oh, wait, no, it’s a rare-earth magnet encased in white plastic. Great for holding notes on your white refrigerator without clashing. Measures 1-1/4” x 3/8” x 5/16” and also has a piece of self-adhesive foam on the back to stick where magnets won’t grab.

Okay, they’re just strips of metal, but CJ says one of each and a grapefruit will get you at least a “C” at the science fair. The copper electrode is 100mm long x 18mm wide  x .8mm thick (3.94" x .7" x .041”). The zinc electrode is 4” long x 3/4” wide x .027” thick and stamped “ZN”. And both of them are awfully useful for crafters and jewelry makers, too.

Then get these actual horseshoes. These are not those Clydesdale-sized behemoths your grandfather used to toss at iron stakes. These are more like the delicate steel shoes you'd tack onto a filly's feet before the Breeders' Cup. Measure 4-3/4” long x 4-1/2" across x approx 1/4” thick. If your horse gets scratched from the race, just hang one of her shoes above a door for good luck. (Remember to put the tips up and the curved side down. Otherwise, all the luck will fall out and you'll be…out of luck.)

Seriously, who at some point in life doesn’t need a nice hunk of 1/8" plexiglass for something? We have (2) nice solid pieces here and it’s your lucky day because you get to pick. The rounded-rectangle measures 4-3/4" x 7", has 1/4” x 1/4” notches in each corner and curves 1/2" along the shorter dimension, like a knee pad. The egg-shaped piece measures 12" x 6-1/4" x 3/16”, has a 5/16” hole at the narrow end and halfway up each side, the large end is flat and has notching that extends about 1-1/4” up and is perfect for glass-bottom boats or ritzy side tables in your jet (or screened-in porch). Both were meant as lenses; we’re not sure what for but we’re guessing car/truck lights.

Mega-bungee cords. Just the ticket for tying down motorcycles, refrigerators, or large marsupials. (Tie your kangaroo down, boys!) Our each is a package of (10) of these monsters, approx 1/2" dia x 6-feet long, (Yes 6 Feet!) in black with green accents (colors may change), with 1" x 2-1/2" hooks on both ends. According to the manufacturer, these will stretch to double their length, 144", but you may want to keep it under that just to be safe. That's almost 8-LBS of bungees and just under two bucks a piece. Outstanding!

A neat bag-o-wood, suitable for model-making, art projects and hobbies of all sorts. The balsa bag weighs almost 3/4 of a pound, and is a random assortment of balsa that may range from 1/8" square strips to a 5" long x 2" square hunk, and lots in between. The basswood may have half a dozen 5" long x 2" square pieces, 8" x 3" sheets, and a whole bunch of 1/16" to 1/8" strips. Whatever the variety of sizes, either bag will total approx 72 cubic inches in all, which is more than it sounds like.

This small stainless steel fine-mesh filter is 2" dia x 1-1/2" tall. It has fine mesh sides, a solid plastic bottom and slight lip around the top. Nice for small filtering jobs, but would also make a passable basket for a gerbil hoops game.

This is your chance to own a genuine cow magnet. Fed to cows by vets and farmers to attract the odd metallic parts of cows' diets (they tend to scarf up nails, staples and other stuff with the grass) and prevent bovine traumatic reticuloperitonitis, also known as hardware disease. Used for lots of magnetic lab experiments because they're so handy. In plated alnico, 3" long x 1/2" dia in a rounded tubular shape. Approx a 5-lb pull.

Once upon a time a surplus dealer bought 50,000 spools of high-quality, 40-weight, polyester, multi-strand embroidery thread in nearly (140) different colors. The end. But wait—there’s more! This means great savings for Surpies! Spools extremely colorfast they measure 2” x 2-1/2” with a 1-1/8” center, and come with 2,000 yards of thread each. Made in India, by Oasis, this is good stuff. You’ll get (4) different colors of our choice or (12) different colors, or the GIANT pack of 24 different colors. We promise—no duplicates. The more you buy, the cheaper they are.

Please note-Due to it's popularity, we make these in batches. Multiple orders at the same time will result in same colors. Please contact us for other color options, but we are not able to pull specific colors. Thanks!

Attention, sewers! We’ve got (2) kinds of T-90 nylon thread. You pick: the anecord nylon thread, style F, in coyote color on spools, (23) yards per spool; or the lubricated nylon thread, style H in beige on bobbins, (19) yards per spool. You’ll (10) get spools full of spooled thread per order.

These 3-3/4” black plastic disks are 5/16” thick and were made to display the mini-models from Metal Earth™, which we also have. These bases have a pair of white LEDs at the 4 and 8 o’clock positions, lit by the included button cell batteries in the base or the also-included USB-Mini USB cord. Use them to display tiny treasures, or as nightlights, or just turn them on and play mini-frisbee in a dark room for some excitement.
