NEW STUFF

Maybe the pilot hole was too small, your driver bit was dull or – sorry – your screw was low-quality. You can’t just sit there stripped and stuck. When you can’t get it in or out, use this (5)-piece screw-extractor set for sizes ranging from 3/16” to 3/4”. The extractors are made of CR-V steel, and all taps have a square drive. No one who screws, even now and then on the weekends, should be without one.

Who needs a barista? Well, a coffee shop does. But your kitchen doesn’t—as long as you have a Chef’s Drawer Profrother. We think there should be a space after “Pro” but what do we know about frother-spelling? This stainless steel frother, pro as it may be, is a compact 9” long overall, including a thin rod with a crown-like frother on the business end. Stores away nicely in a stainless steel cap that turns the whole thing into a 9-1/2” x 1-1/4” tube. Uses (3) “AAA” batteries, which you supply. Simple push-button operation. Now, go froth and conquer!

These super-cool rechargeable string lights with mixed-color LEDs draw their power from a super-hot source, the sun. Red, green and blue LEDs pulse through 2-1/2” long x 3/4” dia clear droplet shapes that are strung together and stretch across approx 9 feet. The string extends another 7 feet to the solar-powered control box. On a full charge, lights will flash or remain solid for up to 7 hours. String powers on when the sensor detects low light. Turn your yard into a wonderland.

If that corner drawer in your kitchen is like ours, you’ve got tons of batteries wedged between the takeout menus, matchbooks and packets of soy sauce. Test them (the batteries) with this compact battery tester, and toss the duds. Tests 1.5V “AAA”, “AA”, “C”, “D” and 9V with a color-coded analog gauge marked simply “Good, Low, Replace.” A similar tester for relationships is still in R&D.

Have you ever bagged a chef? Doesn’t matter. These Chef’s Drawer Reusable cotton Produce Bags do matter, though, because they’re reusable, environmentally friendly and delightful to look at and touch. You’ll get a set of (8) bags, (4) solid cotton and (4) mesh in three sizes: (2) each in 8” x 9”, (1) each in 10” x 11” and (1) each in 12” X 14”. Drawstring at the top has a metal cinch. Color is natural off-white with muted green strings. Nice bags here, shoppers and chefs.

You know how every once a while you just need a standard grab bag of a dozen roaches? This is for those times. Our critters are rubber, each approx 2” long, and (9) of them are neon/glow in the dark. The other (3) are good ol’ classic roaches. Super gross and fun. Don’t act like you don’t want a bag.

Surplus! These (former) promo items are 5" tall golf bags, mostly clear with primary color accents. Best of all? No logos! Golfers use them to store (3) balls. There’s also an outside pocket for pencils, tees and ball makers, and that pocket is zippered just like the main compartment is. Each bag has a plastic snap clip so you can hang it from something—like an actual golf bag. But you don’t have to use it for golf. In assorted primary colors. Ours samples were blue and green, but there may be others and we'll pick the best color to match your golf cart.

At least that’s what someone told us in junior high. And now we can do it again with this giant rubber earthworm that’s 1" wide at its plumpest x 15" long. Unlike our worm in junior high, this one stretches to more than 7 feet! Don’t stretch it too long or you might rip it. And keep it off painted walls, fabric and wood, because like real worms, it might stain. Also comes with educational facts on the package so you can learn while you pull. Ages 3+. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Feeling unattractive? Like you have no pull? Not anymore! This strong magnet has dual eyebolt hooks and around 100 lbs of pull, give or take. It’s 3” dia and 1” deep, with (3) different threaded holes for said eyebolt hooks. Manufacturer explicitly warns against use near pacemakers, so you know it’s powerful. You’re more than welcome, though, to use it near that love interest who until now just hasn’t been drawn to you. Again, as long as there’s no pacemaker involved.

Don’t use this 7-1/2" metal grappling hook in a wrestling match or you’ll get disqualified. This is a different kind of grappling, from the Old French word “grapil” meaning “hook.” Ours has (3) sharp radial hooks extending 3-1/2” from the center, which has a sturdy ring at the top to tie a rope or chain to. If you don’t have serious work for these hooks, they’re nice to hang things from—(3) things to be exact.

This 5-pack of 24" multi-strand elastic bungee cords aren’t High Definition—they’re Heavy Duty. Cords measure 3/8” dia with sturdy metal hooks that are 9/64” dia thick and 2-1/8" long with 3/4" inner dimensions and rubber caps on the ends. Outer cloth is black with green flecks. These serious bungees are great for autos, trucks, ATVs, motorcycles, campers, boats and household use. Keep some on hand. You always find uses for good bungees.

You know the problem with adorable cat-shaped ceramic salt and pepper shakers sitting in little baskets? They never come when you call them. Impossible to walk on leashes, too. Great for seasoning your food, though. Each measures approx 3" tall and 3" around, in white with nice, painted details. One has (2) holes and the other has (3), but we can never remember which is salt and which is pepper! Just fill the (3)-holer with whatever you want more of. 

With this nice hot and cold laminating machine, and the included (50) thermal laminating sheets, you can protect your documents and still see them at a glance. Comes with a cutter, corner rounder and hole-punch, which works for single holes and (3)-ring binders. Unit measures approx 12” x 4” x 2-1/2” tall, which means it fits on pretty much any desktop, and has a 230mm inlet that’s 9” wide (A4 size). You’ll get (10) A4, (15) A5 and (25) A6 laminating sheets. Surely you have documents, cards and photos to preserve.

Teach a kid to count (and much more) the fun way—by counting (60) cute and detailed 1” tall plastic bears in (6) vibrant colors with matching soft silicone cups (like cupcake cups), (2) 3/4” wooden dice, one with numbers, the other colors, and 5-3/4”plastic tongs. It all comes in an easy-to-store, clear plastic case, approx 6” x 8” x 3”, like a little toolbox or craft box with snap closures and a lid with a fold-down handle.

In authentic rubber-ducky yellow with (2) rubber wheels on the bottom, independent suspension and no fuel required. No batteries, either. This thing basically drives itself. Let’s see a rubber ducky do that.

Here’s another great paint set from Zenacolor®, this one with (36) different watercolor paint cakes, 1/2” x 5/8” each, inside a great metal tin case that folds out into a palate with a finger loop. Case measures approx 4-1/2" x 9" closed. Includes a brush and a blending sponge that’s approx 1-1/2” square.

This hobby knife has the kind of oversized soft grip that we think will be x-actly what you were looking for. Sometimes, those skinny metal handles can be tough on the fingers. This tool measures 5-1/4”" long before the included #11 blade; has a safety cap, that comfy contoured handle, 1/2” dia. near the blade and 15/16” x 7/8” at the base. Listed as a #1 handle, it also fits #16 and #17 blades and is labeled as being for light-duty cutting, scoring and trimming. From Techni-Edge, who claim it’s "The blade America buys." We certainly hope so—our warehouse is only so big.
