This double burette clamp has rubber-coated jaws that can grip a cylinder up to 1-1/2" dia. The adjustable jaws swing on a T-shaped lab-stand clamp for free horizontal movement. Not a chemist? These are perfect for metal sculptors creating fanciful crabs, lobsters and crayfish.

A rubber grommet, 7/8" dia x 11/16" thick, with a brass insert that forms a flange over one face and lines about 3/4" of the length of the 1/4" dia bore. Use it as a grommet, a shock mount, or both.

Lasts 30 hours on a set of new alkaline batteries (3 "AAA" heavy duty batteries included).

Clamps. Whatever. These measure approx 5" long x 1-1/2"' at their widest. They open to about 2", though, so they'll not only grab test tubes, they'll pluck cubes from an ice bucket. Or carry a few stems of asparagus. And you do get a pair, so you could always have a tong war.

The solution to spare keys, and attaching any number of things to any number of other things, is the ubiquitous split ring. These are the even ubiquitouser 15/16" OD x 1/8" steel ones.

This float valve assembly has a 2-15/16" x 1-9/16" dia white, barrel-shaped plastic float on a 1" x 1-1/4" stainless steel arm, making it look like a float valve for a Lilliputian toilet tank.

It’s a 5-draw extension shaft that extends from 7” to nearly 26”. One end has a padded black rubber handle and the other has, well, nothing. To be fair, it has a 3/8” long metal cylinder with a 7/32” ID at the business end, but for what, we don’t know. We suspect it was on its way to being some kind of pick-up tool but got distracted. As is, it’s a dandy pointer or the beginning of a clever something that you’re going to invent.
