Got tactical stuff to carry? And by “tactical” we mean “stuff you really-really don’t want damaged”? If so, or if you want to give the impression you’re carrying super-important stuff, get this great-looking Flambeau® hard shell tactical case. Made of crazy-strong black plastic, it has (2) rugged dual action latches for extra security. Also has a waterproof seal, Zerust anti-corrosion technology and two separate layers of cubed pick foam inside. Measures approx 13” x 12” x 6” outside and 12” x 9” x 5” inside, and weighs just under 4 lbs. Meets TSA and airline requirements for transporting firearms, but feel free to fill it with personal electronic devices or other fragile equipment. Or turn it into the toughest-looking picnic basket in the neighborhood.

Pack more vacuous, because vacuum packing isn't just for coffee, it's for saving storage space for anything soft and squooshable. We suggest this incredible 6-piece variety pack of vacuum-seal storage bags, into which you can stuff pillows and blankets and sweaters and overcoats and stuffed monkeys and any number of other things, then suck out all the air with the enclosed hand pump and watch it shrink by 80% so you can slide it under your bed and forget about it for mold and moth-free years. (OK, it's not a pump, because it sucks, so call it a handy little sucker.) You get 2 small bags 24" x 16", 2 medium bags 28" x 20" and 2 jumbo bags 32" x 24". Also dandy for travel because the little sucker doesn't take up much space, so you can shrink your return laundry too--and keep it hermetically sealed. For faster sucking, use a vacuum cleaner!

Add these heavy-duty black rubber treads wherever you need extra safety. In a raised pattern the same as diamond steel plate, each tread is 12" x 12" x 1/4" thick with a peel-off, self-adhesive back. Put ’em on stairs or in the workshop, garage, pool house, deck or shed.

Only dentists and lawyers put their degrees on the wall. The rest of us need someplace to keep the virtual sheepskin. (Degrees have been on fake sheepskin since the 60s.) Try this hand carved graduation keepsake safe box with a mortarboard, rolled scroll and uppity thumb on the top. Measures 7” x 3-1/2" x 2" with “to/from/date/ occasion” space inside. Carved with a hidden peg to unlock it so nobody can steal the proof of purchase for your education. Made from 100% exotic hardwoods with no paints or stains. 

A famous woodworking apprentice carves out a living today making these puzzle boxes from recycled hardwoods. Pull the secret wooden pin and the critter opens up to reveal, well, an empty velveteen-lined box, but it's just waiting for you to put your treasured jewelry, ill-gotten cash, safety-deposit box key, or candy stash inside. Your choice: the bear's head, gator's cranium, pelican, bear on a log, and angelfish all of which measure about 5-1/2" X 3-3/4" X 3-1/2". Click here for a short video.

This 300 Lumen LED light is a mighty mite. Just under 4-1/2" long x 1" dia, you slide the sleeve and the beam zooms from a flood to a don't-stare-into-this focused spot. In black or gun metal anodized aluminum, it's waterproof and shockproof with a latching button switch and a pocket clip. Depress the button halfway when it's on and it goes into a rapid-flash mode for emergency signaling. Visible for 275 meters. Five hour life with the included 1-"AA" battery and a 110K+ hour bulb life.

Or are you just an inaccurate swatter? Either way, this humongous fly swatter is what you need. The swatter end is 7-1/2” long by 6-1/2” wide and is on a telescopic handle that extends to 39” long, which means the buggers can’t escape to the tall ceilings anymore. Contracts to 16” long for storage and has a rubber grip. In neon green so you won’t misplace it.

Hands-free magnification here. Just clip this handy tool onto a surface and swing the 5" dia, 1.5X rimless lens around until it focuses on your subject. Lightweight, but with a heavy-duty gooseneck arm and a sturdy jaw that opens to 2", so it can clip onto a desk, book, clipboard or anything else less than, yes, 2" thick. (Science is our middle name.)

We all need tape, all kinds of tape. The smart folks (tapeworms) stock up and have it ready when things go south, as they will. Our each is a quintet of tapes, including: (1) 55-yard roll of 2" wide clear carton-sealing tape; (1) 82-foot roll of 1" wide beige double-sided tape; (1) 60-yard roll of 1-3/8" wide painters' masking tape; (1) 60-yard roll of 2" wide standard duct tape, the one you can't live without; and (1) 50-yard long roll of 2" wide aluminum tape, conductive on the shiny side and great for cold weather and metal repairs. Bonus use: fisherpersons use aluminum tape to wrap wooden lures for added fish-luring. Bonus tapeworm joke: they're the perfect pets--no leash, no license, go where you go and eat what you eat.

Got anxiety? So do we. Get bored? So do we. Let’s all spin our cares away and stay occupied with a themed spinner, aka fidget spinner, aka one of those spinny things. Ours are standard-size, with the standard, weighty, smooth action. They come in (4) styles, with symbols that match their themes: heart, baseball, soccer, golf. You pick whichever one will calm you down soonest, or hold your interest longest.

This medium blue (call it French blue) washable surgical gown is made of Rotecno polyester (a lightweight waterproof but breathable medical fabric) with a slightly rubberized feel.

Made in USA.

From the Chinese military, this olive drab canvas recon chest rig is made for carrying SKS rounds. We think it’d also be great for fishing lures, balloons (if you’re a balloon artist or a water-balloon tosser), various nails and screws, bolts and washers and probably a hundred other uses. Business part measures 24" wide x 5-3/4" with (6) 4-1/4” deep pockets, (2) at 2” wide and (4) at 1-1/2” wide, all with flaps that close with little plastic clips. Has 4 holders for items in the 7" long range. (Photo shows 7" long tubes inserted) Fits via adjustable crossed shoulder straps and a buckle. We also think it would hold a nice assortment of snacks for hands-free hiking.

iPhones like the holidays, too. Help yours celebrate with this 44" long USB-to-lightning connector charge cord. The celebratory part is that instead of being another boring cord, this one has (10) LED holiday bulbs in assorted colors. And they light up even when it’s not charging!

Comes without a plug but with 15” leads ready to be hardwired into a 12VDC source, as in a standard automobile. The (15) white LEDs inside the green cover will flash, but if green's not your color, the plastic dome unscrews so you can easily repurpose it for your own DIY use.
