Yes, there’s a scientific explanation, but we prefer to think this magnetizing/demagnetizing tool relies on magic. Stick a screwdriver head in the bottom, it’s magnetized. Stick it in the top, it’s demagnetized. Fun for the whole family. Measures 2” square x 1-1/4” with stair-step ports for blades of different sizes. Never drop a screw again.

And it’s cute. Just 4-3/8" long with a pocket clip, it looks like a pen but it has (8) driver bits stored in the barrel. The 5/32” hex bits include slotted 2mm, 3mm, Phillips #1, #2  and torque T5, T6, T7 and T8. We’ll pick one in red, black or blue, because who cares? In assorted colors of red, blue or black. 

Sometimes you need to screw around corners, and we feel your pain. Try this flexible extension shaft for your drill or driver. Accepts 1/4” bits. Measures 9” long over all with a flexible portion that’s 4-1/2” long and will bend 180 degrees.

We like these small pliers and cutters - they're a higher quality than most of the Chinese import tools we're offered. They are drop-forged, high-carbon steel with double-leaf springs, lap joints and rubberized foam handles. There is a trim 6" needle nose, and a 4-1/2" mini-round diagonal cutter. For precision work and hobbies, and especially nice for anyone with small hands.

What's a backwards light socket? A socket light. This vanadium steel socket adapter for 1/2" and 3/8" drives has a bright white LED that shines through your sockets, so you never have to ask someone to hold the flashlight. Runs on (3) AG-13 batteries, included along with a spare set of (3) more. 

Jarvis Says: Don’t even try the “TRY ME” invitation on the package because the (3) AG-13 batteries in the piece are dead. Good news is, we’re sending you (3) brand new ones. You might have to blow out some gunk from the battery compartment, but that’s a small task for such a cool piece. Instructions included for changing them with a screwdriver and a pen. That's surplus, folks! That's surplus!

Perfect Pack of 6-Piece Precision screwdrivers in a hard plastic case. About 3" long, they come in flat head sizes of 1.4, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0 and Philips sizes PH0 and PH1. From tolsen tools, makers of all things good. Now grab a set and toss them in your everything drawer.

The pipe wrench's gentle cousin, a strap wrench works with rubber straps instead of steel jaws. This strap wrench fits objects up to 4" across in virtually any shape—like oil filters, shower heads, faucets, bottle and jar lids, PVC fittings, stuff like that. Flexible strap makes it easier in confined spaces. From GRIP® Tools.

For these pliers--known at lineman’s pliers, TLs or combination pliers--the combination is a blunt nose, flat serrated gripper, rounded gripper and cutting jaws, in that order. Ours is a quality tool from Tolsen Tools, 8” long in nickel-plated steel with plastic-coated handles.

You need this. Anybody who's ever made a third trip to the hardware store on the same day needs this. The (100) -- count 'em, (100) -- chrome vanadium driver and bit attachments include slotted, Phillips, square (Robertson) head, torx, hex and 12-point bits, plus security Phillips, torx and hex, and (4) different driver adapters (one of which, a super-cute cup-hook driver, has us oddly excited). They're all in a flip-top plastic case. How come it's surplus? If you turn it upside down and shake it, some of the bits fall out of their little size-marked slots. So don't do that. Or stick a thin sheet of foam inside it and all will be well.

This 34-piece set of chrome vanadium bits includes 1/4" hex bits with (8) security Torx from T8 to T40; (3) Pozi from PZ1 to PZ3; (2) Phillips at PH1 & PH2; (6) security Hex from H2 to H6; (4) Tri-wing from Y1 to Y4; (4) spanner head from U4 to U10; (3) Torq from S6 to S10; and a 6mm slotted bit. All are 3” long. Includes (2) mag-demag blocks, and a storage case.
