Our most reversible double-axle split and swiveling lantern work-light. Hard to explain, but incredibly handy. Has a pair of opposed but ratcheting frames/handles, bracketing a pair of intense 500-lumen LED COB lights in waterproof housings. Carry it or stand it up and shine the lights up or at 90-degrees or anywhere in-between, together or separately. Probably best to just buy it and see for yourself how useful it is. Measures 7-3/8" x 4-3/4" when it’s folded and double that when open, and comes with (4) “AA”s for power.

Let there be light. Without switches. These (2) pivoting light bars at 6-3/8" x 1-5/8" x 3/4" with two 2" COB LEDs are motion- and light-sensitive (with a 30-second auto-off feature), and can be mounted pretty much anywhere via their self-adhesive strips and disc magnets. With 90-degree tilt-ability and rated at 300 lumens, these little lights are about as bright and versatile as anything this size can be. Each package comes with (2) light bars and (3) AAA batteries for each. Get a couple and you’ll probably be back for more.

It’s a ninefer. This 6” long x 1/2” hex ball-point pen has a rubber stylus at the other end, which unscrews to reveal a tiny driver with both small Phillips and regular heads, while the shaft has a little bubble level and (4) rulers: 0-4” x 1/16”; 0-10cm x 1mm; and both 1/200mm and 1/300mm rulers. The ninth part is our name on the side, so you remember where the coolest stuff comes from. Plus it’s in the ruler shade of yellow, with a pocket clip. (Sorry, no laser.) Need more ink? Our refill pack is a set of (2) black and (2) blue cartridges. Just pull out the silver knurled tip of the pen to screw in a new ink cartridge and your Great American Novel will be finished in no time.

It’s the Forever Belt of late night fame, the no-holes ratcheting cinch for your expanding waist. Features a 32-position gear rack on the underside in 1/4” increments in lieu of holes. In 1-1/8” wide black leatherette, it can be cut to length and will fit waists from 22” to 44”.

Let's cut to the chase here -- buy these the first time you read this, or they're going to be gone! There aren't that many of these flexible chopping mats, and the versatile 15" x 12" x 0.024" thick mats are not only ideal for small kitchens where every inch counts, they're great for any kitchen, and for cookouts, camping and picnics. Our each is a set of (2) of the translucent Euro-look mats that protect countertops from sharp knives and fresh-from-the-oven cookies, and protect food from outdoor surfaces. They can be lifted and slightly folded to funnel chopped food neatly into a pot. They're dishwasher safe, and roll up for portage or storage.

A lovely mini-funnel, made for pouring Dad's special medicine into a hip flask, but just dandy for filling salt and pepper shakers or anything else with a little yap. Stainless steel with a 1-3/8" ID intake mouth and a 5/16" ID outlet. 1-7/8" tall OA.

Just like the classic Yankee drill, but for the kitchen. Has that “as seen on the television” kinda feel. You push the handle of this 10” long spring-loaded whisk and it spins clockwise on the push, and reverses when you let up on it. The 10-tine head is 2-1/8” dia at the bottom x 2-1/8” long, with a little center pin to keep it off the bottom of the bowl or jar or whatever. In stainless steel.

Save yourself from sliding on the ice or slick terrain. Use our easiest-to-carry, simplest-to-attach black rubber treads with metal spikes whenever you hike, regardless of conditions. Just 4" wide x 2" with (5) steel rivets on the bottom, they have stretchable toe loops on the front and a hook-and-loop strap to secure them over the top of your shoes. Store flat in a pocket, bag or glove compartment in less room than you’d need for a decent-sized chocolate-chip cookie.

This pocket-sized mini-flashlight has (9) 405nm ultraviolet LEDs and myriad uses, from checking U.S. currency to working the door at your ultra-hip downtown clubs, spotting radiator and transmission fluid leaks, mineral identification, and (yes, it's true) locating lost scorpions in the dark. Measures approx 3-3/4" long x 1-1/8" dia with knurled sections so you won't lose your grip, and a wrist strap in case you do. You supply (3) "AAA" batteries and the scorpions.

Da Mare could use this to point out cracks in the infrastructure at Wrigley Field. You, having a forgiving nature, will resist the urge to point out cracks in da mayor's infrastructure. You will, of course, use it to point out chimney cracks to the tuck-pointer, a cracked limb to the tree-trimmer, and the crack in your profit picture during a slide presentation. You can do all that and much, much more with the bright light from this 5mW green laser pointer. It's an unbelievable tool. If you need a laser pointer that seems to go on forever and is so strong that you can actually see the beam in the dark, it will be the best low-cost investment you ever made. Or the coolest high-end toy. The 532nm Class IIIa light is 5-5/8" long x 1/2" dia, with (2) "AAA" batteries (not included), a momentary-on switch, pocket clip. (Sorry case not included). An absolute necessity for construction, surveying, warehousing, inspection and other large sites. And for playing in the dark.

Yes, the sun already lights your yard, but with this set of (100) solar-powered white LEDs, it will light up the yard at night, too. On a 40-foot cord attached to a solar cell and a NiMH rechargeable battery, it operates in steady-on or flashing modes. Recharges in the day and illuminates at night. Eight-hour charge cycle. Internal sensor detects ambient light and only turns on at night. Includes mounting hardware, mollies and a 7" mounting stake. Perfect for the holidays in remote locations. Great for modeling or doll houses.

Our newly updated wireless motion-sensing light now comes with COB LEDs for brighter and more energy efficient 120 lumen white light in a 3-1/8" dia mirrored face that throws light approx 15 feet. This makes it great for small rooms, large closets or gigantic doll houses. Housing is 4-3/4" x 4" x 2-1/8" in white plastic on a pivoting turntable that rotates 360 degrees. Detects motion within 10 feet, stays lit for approx 60 seconds, but also has an on-off switch. Battery housing (you add a quartet of "AA"s) is gasketed for water resistance. Includes mounting hardware. Made by i-Zoom®.

Dead-center at the confluence of cute and useful, this mini digital panel-mount thermometer has a suction cup on the back for mounting pretty much anywhere. Has a probe on the end of a 10-foot cord, a range of -58 to 158 degrees F and -50 to 70 degrees C. Measures just 1-7/8" x 15/16" x shy of 1/2" with clips and the suction cup, and has a 1-3/4” LCD screen. Includes an AG13 battery.

Steampunk alert! Also…model and jewelry maker alert! This pair of 10X acrylic doublet loupes is mounted on black eyeglass frames and flanked by LED lights powered by (2) included CR1620 button cell batteries. These are for close work only, from 1" to 1-1/2", and can focus only one lens at a time (not both on the same object) so if you’re a steampunker looking for a new accessory, plan on perching this rig on your pate or chapeau.

Paul’s in love with these solar patio accent lights, probably because he’s charmed by Edison bulbs, which these resemble. Dual COB strips inside a glass bulb are powered by a solar cell in the base. The bulb and cell hang upside down in a 6-1/2” tall x 5” black wire cage, like work lights, with a handle. Has a sensor for auto shut-off plus a main switch. Picture a series of them hung from a wire over your deck, across your back yard or at your campsite, with no outlet needed. They also look good sitting on a table.

Direct from our faithful hospital supply suppliers--handy dandy (and brand new) tubs for storing, sorting, scrubbing, or schlepping toys, mittens, craft supplies, chicken feed, whatever. In yellow/gold pretty-much-indestructible #5 plastic, each is approx 13" x 10" x 5" deep. (Some might be a tad smaller). They have lips and rounded ends, nest when not in use, and are graduated inside from 2 to 6 quarts.

The smart cutters and choppers these days are using ceramic knives because they stay so sharp for so long, and who remembers to have their knives sharpened? Ours measure 7" long over all, with a red, green, or deep aqua handle, a 3" blade and a sheath. Don't go into the kitchen without one. Slice, dice, chop and mince, and forget about sharpening. Like you always do.

You know about messages and ships in bottles, so it’s probably time for you to branch out with these terrariums in bulbs. It was bound to happen. Our very nice, clear-glass, upside-down light bulbs measure 7" tall x 3-1/2" dia at the widest. Inside they have polished rocks and plastic succulent foliage accented by a stylish 10-LED string of grain-of-wheat-style lights twisting through it. Featured flora include agave, aloe vera, torch plant and jade. Comes with four CR2032 coin cells for power. Just press the top to turn on the lights.
