NEW STUFF

Now you can start down the Quartermaster road with the Logiblocs Spy Tech e-building system.

Time to give the rubber duckies a break. These aquatic-themed dense foam toys from Chipmunkk® float, and they’ll stick to the side of the tub. There are (30) in the set—crabs, octopi, rays, whales, turtles, starfish and enough fishes to start a Mrs. Paul’s plant—so they'll pretty much line the whole tub. Measure 3” to 6” wide x 3/8” thick. The big company with all the trucks gets $12.50 for these.

See through the lid or the jar. You pick the straight-sided translucent plastic jar with the white screw cap, which holds (2) oz and measures approx 2” tall x 2” dia; or its reverse, the straight-sided white plastic jar with the translucent screw cap, which holds (2) oz and measures approx. 2” tall x 2-1/16” dia.

Our mini keychain light looks like an elongated dime, or a little bug, and attaches via a tiny swivel and split ring to your keys. Perfect for party giveaways, or as nice little gifts to people who have to use keys at night. You know, like basically everyone. You’ll get (3) per order.

From Gardner Bender®, these flexible re-useable straps are a foot long x 3/8” wide with triangular links and can be, with a little tugging, unzipped for re-use. Rated for 20-lb tensile strength and can be daisy-chained for big bundles. Call them the Rezippers. You'll get twelve per pack.

You're not Santa, and you don't need to risk your life to catch those digital HDTV rays, because they come indoors, too.

What we have here is the LARGEST neoprene rubber gasket in all the land. It measures 25/32" diameter and is as big as Pat stretched out all the way. (approx. 60" across when relaxed.) What was it for you might ask. We were told for sealing some form of shipping containers. What can you use it for? How about a huge slingshot, super exercise bands, tug of war or you use your imagination. Stamped on the side is PRESS-SEAL GASKET CORP and the numbers MSL78-25/32" NEOPRENE MSD-2/89 for what that's worth. Now go get all gasket-ie.

Wood or wooden you like to never see another pun on wood or wooden? Too bad--we’re not even trying to quit. Meanwhile, you can try this wooden wiggling fish automaton that you crank to move.

You've seen cords on lights—pull the cord, turn on the ceiling light—right? Well, this is the reverse. Tie the cord onto something on the ceiling, pull the bulb on the bottom and it lights up. Seems backwards, because it is, but it somehow makes sense when you want the light on the end of the rope, not on the ceiling, and don't you think you've been doing things right-side-up for long enough? Bulb is 40 lumens, cool white for indoors, and runs on (3) “AAA” batteries that the manufacturer didn't include.

These small swivel plate casters have dual 1-3/8” dia plastic wheels on coincidentally 1-3/8” square mounting plates with (4) holes. Measure just under 2” tall and are screaming to be used to make rolling plant holders, because nothing is more boring than plants that just sit there in one place all the time. They have a little dirt on the wheels that cleans up nicely with some soap and water. That's Surplus for ya'.

We don't know if this is a specialty-use tape for a specialty we've never heard of, or just a beautiful mistake. But it's good quality duct tape, 2" wide on a 60-yard roll in your standard duct tape gray, and when you get halfway through the roll, it turns to red, or another color...it's a surprise! Call it special, and buy it because, well, you're special, too.

Each has black lettering stenciled on bright yellow plastic tape, with the message repeated over and over. They are 3" wide by 200 ft or 1000 ft long. All are the real thing, made for sale to police and other serious users. Some have an obvious industrial application, some will work in the school playground, some seem appropriate to cordon off the kids’ rooms.

Why, when we were your age all we had to play with was a stick and an old tin can.

The winding shaft is 1-1/8” long and the whole shebang measures 1-1/4" x 5/8" x 1/2" and has a good long running time of approx 10 seconds.
