Paul went out to the warehouse and almost picked up a pallet jack with this monster 2” square 100-lb pull retrieving magnet from Magnet Source®. Painted red it stands 2-3/4” high with a 1” dia (5/8” ID) eyebolt screwed and bolted into the top, and has welded steel construction to protect and focus the ceramic magnets inside. Includes (2) magnetic shields that you remove before use. Attach a rope or chain to the eyebolt to retrieve or hang heavy items, or use to hold/position hoses or wiring temporarily. Also good for plucking stuff out of rivers and other waterways when the fish aren’t biting.

It’s not all swinging hammers and sawing wood for carpenters. They do a lot of measuring and marking, which is why they have their own style of pencil. Ours has a built-in, removable sharpener hidden in the top and (2) kinds of lead (2B and yellow), allowing for clear marks on light or dark surfaces. Body is orange, with a pocket clip. You’ll also get a total of (6) refills in a slim, see-through storage case.

North, South, East and West (plus some others) are all included in this sturdy, stainless-steel compass featuring a glow-in-the-dark dial and degree markings around the face. Measures 2-1/2” dia with a 1-1/2” dia face and a glass cover. Probably the nicest compass we’ve had in a long time. Great for…wait for it...compassing. Actually, it’s perfect for that. Ages 4+.

We’re into hygiene around here (it’s the Science in us), and if we didn’t already have foot grabs on our restroom doors, we’d be installing these in a hot second. They look like little soap dishes, with up-pointing serrated edges. Made of 14-gauge silver/grey powder-coated steel and include (5) #10, 1-1/2” long stainless-steel screws. Attach the 5” x 2” back to the bottom of a door, set your foot on 3-1/8” wide x 3-1/4” long toothed platform and gently pull. Way easier than it seems. Made in USA.

Here’s a nice little flame-shaped, dimmable LED bulb that’ll give you 25K hours of light with a cool flame effect. Has an E12 Candelabra Screw base (12mm) and at a mere 5W it pushes out the equivalent of 40W and 360 Lumen. Light color is 2700K, which is a warm white flamish shade. Made of plastic, the bulb stands about 4-1/2” tall. From Infinite Energy Solutions it’s EnergyStar rated. You can’t make s’mores with it, but it also won’t burn anything down.

There was a day when you just slid your hammer inside the belt that held up your pants. Those were the days before you got serious about tools. We know—we’ve been there. Now you (and we) need a serious tool apron. Ours is made of heavy-duty canvas, in worker’s tan, 19-1/2” wide x 10-1/2” tall with (4) front pockets that are about 8” wide and either 5” or 7-1/2” deep. Also has (2) front slots for marking devices or slim tools. Strap is 1-1/2” wide with a molle buckle in back, a canvas loop (for that hammer of yours), a metal tape measure clip and fits waists 30"-54".

These are some of the sturdiest jars we’ve come across in ages. Made of extra-thick clear glass, they have a low profile, less than 2” tall including a 1/2”-high light-gold domed cap. Measure 2-1/2” dia, and hold 50ml each. As jars go, they’re beauties

We love this thing because it looks like a standard LED light bulb, (100-240V) with the equivalent of 60W output, yet it’s a motion sensor light. Sneaky! Has a standard base, and a "built-in radar sensor” that’s “triggered by movement." Radar? Microwave? PIR? We don’t know and sometimes with cool stuff like this, not knowing is best. Draws 8W of energy and shines at 800 lumens with a 5000K (neutral/natural) color temp. Should shine for about 25,000 hours.

You’ve heard the advice a million times. Want to remember something? Write it on an index card! A prized recipe, notes for a test, a joke for open mic night at the Giggle Warehouse? Write it on an index card! Ours are in (4) colors, lined and 3” x 5”. You’ll get (25) of each color, a total of (100) cards. Write that on an index card!

Of course you want to wear your knit hipster hat today—when don’t you?—but it’s so damn sunny. We got you covered, literally, with this olive drab 100% wool knit cap that includes a built-in brim in front. This “jeep cap,” inspired by the U.S. military, meets U.S. Defense Department specs, though it’s been redesigned to be larger, cover the ears, and include the bill upfront. Radar O’Reilly loved his! Made in the U.S. of A., of course.

Our squeezy emoji faced eggs are foam, cute and cuddly—perfect for lightening the mood in any office! They come in a nice (6)-pack carton, and they’re a little bigger than regular-sized eggs. Squeeze or toss them to relieve stress, or simply to participate in general merriment since they all have faces with wacky expressions. Just don’t hard-boil them. They don’t like that. Squish 'em all day long, though. They love that! The best part? No shells to clean up.

These compact scissors from Tolsen Tools are technically Electrician’s Scissors, designed for the telecom and electrical applications. That means cutting through your stuff is a snap. Scissors are 5-1/2” long overall, and their 2" long stainless steel blades are serrated to grip cables and wires. But a copywriter just used them to slice through thick cardboard like it was butter. Big, round finger grips are comfortable, too. These scissors are a joy to scissor.

Why did the Italian soldier bring a standard-issue sewing kit into battle? In case he needed to sew something! This military sewing kit is like new, in a neat khaki pouch, 6” x 5” when open and 2” x 5” rolled up. Inside are spools of white and dark green thread, coat buttons (classic plastic and ornate gold/metal), scissors, an assortment of sewing needles, and safety pins. You know the Italians, they’re all about style. This is a very nice collectible piece.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the apes of our lives. There might be better ways to waste, er, measure time than with a somber 9” tall polyresin monkey holding a large sand-filled hourglass, but we seriously doubt it. This particular primate chronometer sports brown trousers and a red smoking jacket with gold trim. His hourglass is 6-1/2” tall and fits beautifully in his monkey mitts, resting between his monkey toes on a 3/4” base. Sand runs out in 2 minutes 40 seconds to 3 minutes—perfect for a soft-boiled egg—which, as any primatologist will tell you, monkeys love!

We hate having to hold onto a towel or rag. So much gripping power required! We jest, but putting on this microfiber detailing mitt and polishing away is a lot more enjoyable than dealing with rags and towels. Made of ultra-soft blue microfiber with a white elastic cuff, it’s a mitten—sort of like an oven mitt—designed specifically for cleaning and polishing. At 11” long x 7-1/2” wide at the thumb, one size fits most hands, and how many towels can say that? Machine washable, lint-free & super absorbent. Get a pair and do the double-polish on your blinds, furniture, knick-knacks and more.

You buy as much cord as you like and make your own extension cords with these male and female electrical connectors. Also use them to replace damaged plugs or sockets. Rated for 15A at 125V, type B. Use with 14AWG wire or thicker. Connectors are 2-5/8" long x 1-1/2" dia at their thickest, with strain reliefs on both at the cable sides.

Our most stylish trash bin, this 8” dia beauty is made of black polyester over springy wire. To store it, simply push it down and secure (2) hook’n’loop straps, making it about 1/2” high. When you’re ready to use it again, undo the straps and let it pop open to 10” tall. Has (2) carry handles that hang on the outside, nicely out of the way, when you’re using it. Also works great as a bin for clean socks, rolled up napkins, tennis or pickle balls, or any supplies you need to carry somewhere but not bring back home (which is when you’d fold this bin back down again).
