NEW STUFF

You've probably got a long drain snake to root out huge plumbing clogs, or at least your dad does, but this little beauty is made for snaking out those hair balls in your bathroom sink or tub. Only 1/8” dia in rubber-covered flexible wire with a 3/8” brush head, it's a whole 27 inches long, or long enough to reach to the P-trap, where all the yuckiness ends up. Make your dad proud and don't call him.

Beyond Rubik's cube, this complex wooden puzzle is inspired by the Antikythera Mechanism, a mysterious astronomical device discovered off the coast of the eponymous Greek island in 1901 and sometimes called the first analog computer. The puzzle has (5) concentric rings with an increasing number of tabs with numbers printed them. The object is to have the resulting (12) columns all add up to 42. Difficulty level is five stars, unless you don't care what the columns of numbers add up to, in which case it's quite easy. Also, really pretty. Ages 14+. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Working with curves? Of course you are. Or you will be someday. You need a gauge contour, and luckily for you, we just got a bunch of them. We’ll send you a pair of durable plastic JSK contour gauges, each with inch and centimeter measurements, and you’ll never again have to eye it or wing it by transferring a profile to a hunk of cardboard or piece of paper. In just under 10-inch and 5-inch sizes, these gauges are perfect for measuring pipes, circular frames, ducts and other curved objects when you’re fitting tile, carpet, molding or whatever. Also great for car body work, design and model-making of all kinds. This is the tool you didn’t know you needed until you had one. And we’ll send you (2) of them. Probably in the color of orange but don't hate us if it is another color. 

Remember when people said that? No? Ask your dad. We brought it back because we miss '80s surfer dudes and because it's such a good headline for these metal nesting tubes. All are 12” long with .014” walls. You pick: the set of (8) aluminum tubes in 1/16” through 9/32” outer diameters; the set of (7) copper tubes in 1/16” through 1/4” outer diameters; or the set of (12) brass tubes in 1/16” through 13/32” outer diameters.

In the lab or craft room, the uses for this 250cc (8-oz) translucent wash bottle are legion. Measures 5-1/2" tall x 2-1/4" dia with a nozzle that points straight up for 2-1/2” then makes a 90-degree turn for another 3”. Has a very small opening that you could snip to make larger if you were squirting some kind of artsy foam, gel, glue or paint instead of washing out test tubes.

The Star Master is a star projector, but no, that doesn’t mean it can predict who’s going to make it big in Hollywood. It’s a little gizmo, about the size and shape of a quart of paint, (4"X5") that shines star-like points of LED light in white, red, green and blue. Don’t expect it to transform your bedroom into a planetarium, but do expect it to give off cool effects in darkness. It also makes for a very nice soothing nightlight. You supply (3) “AA” batteries because we can’t give you everything, even when we give you the stars.

Cat lovers know litter boxes, but now, through the magic of modern design, we can all pull tissues straight out of a cat’s butt. Don’t act like you’re offended. Our Cat Butt Tissue Dispenser is a 5-1/2” cube (which fits a small cube tissue box) in super-classy golden yellow fuzz-fur with a cat’s head on one end and a raised tail on the other. Ironically, though, it’s you taking care of business every time you pull a tissue from that poop portal. Kitty’s gold and white face has whiskers and surprisingly realistic eyes. Lucky for you, they face forward so you don’t have to look at them while you’re ripping a tissue from that innocent little cat’s butt. The whole thing is 10” long overall, and if you can find brown tissue to hang out the back, we salute you. You think pulling tissues from a cat’s butt is gross? Wipe the boogers and snot off your face and then we’ll talk.

We’ve got surplus strobes! Shaped a little like R2-D2 without legs, these personal strobe lights, approx 3-3/4” tall x 2-1/4” wide, were campaign goods for Rocky De La Fuente in 2016. Now all they need are (4) “AA” batteries. Screw the clear dome back on, and they’ll strobe at a slow pace. The barrel body will be in either safety orange or classic black.

Needless to say, the logo is molto cool.
