HARDWARE

Our each is a set of (4) removable sink strainers with stainless steel mesh wells and flat rims. The set includes (1) 4-1/2" dia for 2-1/4" drains, (1) 2-3/4" dia for 1-1/8" drains, and (2) 2" dia for 3/4" drains.

Cut your own. Our each is 16 feet of black flexible wire coated with 3/16" dia soft rubber, ready for you to snip off for your heavy-duty, padded twist-tie needs. Very nice stuff. Reusable. We're thinking cable bundling, sports equipments, tools, hoses, like that.

Stop wrapping duct tape around your vise, and protect delicate material the right way with this pair of hard-rubber, ribbed pads made to cover the jaws. The pads have (2) rare earth magnets embedded inside the rubber. Made for a 4" vise, they measure 4" long x 1-1/8" high x 3/8" thick with a lip along one long side. The rubber is 3/32" thick.

Since the corner of a door has only so much real estate to hang stuff on, we all need to expand at some point. We do it with these durable, stylish, chrome-looking over-door hooks. No screws or drills needed. Just slip them over the top of any door up to 1-5/8”—bathroom, bedroom, entry, craft room, workshop, garage—and watch how much stuff ends up hanging from them instead of piled in a heap. They hang down 9” and stick out about 7” from the door, with a nice round ball on the end, and require a mere 1/16” clearance at the top for the door to close. That’s not a problem for most doors. Our each is a (3)-pack.

Hang it all with this set of (10) magnetic hooks. The 1-3/16" long x 9/64" hooks screw into 1-3/8" dia magnetic bases with an approx 8-lb pull, which is heavier than most jackets and keys. Good for horizontal or vertical mounts, and dandy for adding hooks to gym or school lockers.

You know what you need to lock up better than we do, so when you finish building that cabinet, secure it with this cabinet lock. 11/16" cylinder diameter, depth is 1-1/4”, and it has a 1-1/2” lock arm. Comes with (2) keys because you know how you lose things (we do too). Locking nut is included and key removes in both positions.

Then better check your bore. This tiny bore light, made for looking into barrels or other tight spots, measures 3-1/4" long x approx 5/8” dia with a single white LED. Includes a slide on right-angle fiber-optic head and a pocket clip. Take off the head and it’s a nice mini flashlight. You add (1) “AAA” battery.

Walking sticks have moved into the space age! This walker's/hiker's friend has futuristic features and the look of an inter-galactic weapon. The high-quality collapsible aluminum stick extends from a packable 27" to a full 43", and has a carbide tip with a rubber cover, a removable 2" dia disk to keep the stick from sinking into soft ground, and an internal shock absorber that can be turned on or off. At the top, a 5-LED flashlight with a 90° pivot is embedded in a molded-plastic cane-style handle to light your way. For mountain trekking, lengthen the stick, slip the adjustable canvas wrist strap over your hand, and clutch the stick by the padded foam section below the cane handle. Directions, diagrams, and 1100mm to 1350mm gradations are marked clearly on the 3-draw pole. We'll pick a black or anodized red, blue, or silver version for you.

Our smallest vise, and arguably our handiest around the house: call it the Jaws of Aluminum. Clamp this small table vise onto a surface up to 3/4" thick and let it be your third hand. The jaws are 1-1/2" wide and open to a maximum of 1-1/4".

It's officially a watch-case holder, and indispensable for jewelers and watch collectors, but it's equally useful for holding anything small and squirrely while you work on it. A pair of 1-3/4" long x 15/16" tall brackets have (4) sets of (6) holes that take (4) movable posts. Spring-loaded jaws dial open to a max of 1".

Call it a gonzo version of our best work-light, this 4-5/8" x 2-1/4" x 1" cigarette-pack-size light has (60) white LEDs in a 3" x 1-1/2" window with a bright mode and a way brighter mode that would blind a turkey vulture, plus (4) more for a standard flashlight mode. Includes a flip-out easel, hook and a disc magnet. Comes with (3) "AAA"s. Manufacturer rates this bad boy at 900 lumens. 

The package says these are “zipper pulls” and it could be right, but we know them as 1” dia steel split rings with 1” long spring clips that open to approx 3/16”. Our each is a pack of (18). Go pull a zipper, or make a bunch of key rings.

No large ones, but (101) amazingly assorted small extension and compression  springs -- most, but not all, 1" to 2" long. You might even find a stray torsion spring! Assorted lengths, assorted widths, assorted finishes, a sorta handy bag of replacement parts to have around the house.

They teach you to say that in engine-repair school. They’re probably right, too. This basic in-line fuel filter is for small engines—like lawn mowers—with 1/4” OD fittings on both sides. Has a 1-3/8” dia see-through plastic housing so you can see the filter.

Our 200-lumen COB LED work light lets you get your projects done at any wee hour of the morning or night. It’s 6.5" long x 2-1/2”, sort of wand-shaped, like a light stick with a black plastic body and an integrated rear magnet. Everybody loves a hands-free light. Has (3) modes: 100%, 50% and strobing, and requires (3) AAA batteries, not included. But look at that price, you know?

Two guys from our warehouse and a truck? Sorry, our guys aren't all that hefty, but we can lend you a hand with this Hefty Haulers Furniture Moving Kit. Lifts up to 2,600 pounds (which is about 2,400 pounds more than any two guys in our warehouse can lift anyway) with the lever/crane, and lets you wheel up to 960 lbs. of stuff around on (4) handy little trolleys (240 lbs. max each). Slide the lever under the corner of the fridge, washer, sofa, file cabinet or any other weighty item, lift it off the floor, slide a trolley under it, repeat on the other three corners, and roll the item along. Trolleys rotate 360 degrees and have swivel wheels. Kit includes a lever, cradle and (4) trolleys, plus (4) risers and (4) mini-risers for items with longer legs. Works on wood, tile and floors with short-pile carpeting. Truck not included.

Need some zip ties on the smaller side? Here they are. Our standard cable ties from Power Phase® are 4" long, have an (18)-lb capacity and are good to go in temps from -40 to 185 Fahrenheit. They come in natural (white-ish) color, and we’ll send you (100) of them. Use ’em to organize thin cords and wires, or basically any little thing that needs to be bunched up. Also good for arts and crafts, model-making, dioramas and stuff like that.

This is the warranty-violator special, or just a MacGyvering guys toolbox. The black, 8” x 6” x 1-1/2” zipper pouch holds a rechargeable battery power pack with a USB output, which will power the little, quite gusty fan, the 5-LED flashlight, and the reversible torquey screwdriver with tiny Phillips, flathead, hex and square bits, each with a 4mm shank diameter. Battery will also charge cellphones and other devices.
