Turn your garage into Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca with this easy-to-install adjustable three-arm ceiling/task light that shines a stunning 6,000 lumens into garages, workshops, closets and storerooms. A total of (144) cool-white SMD LEDs—(48) in each of the arms—swivel 90 degrees to illuminate corners, crannies and projects. Screws into standard light sockets and requires no tools or wiring. Measures 11” x 3-3/4”, has an estimated 50,000-hour lifetime. Please note, these do not work with dimmers. ETL Certified. Better hurry—the AS&S staff are throwing away their regular light bulbs and buying these up like lobster tacos. As a bonus, it looks like a ceiling fan in a place like Rick’s Cafe Americain. If we can’t have Paris, at least we’ll always have surplus.

Jarvis says you need this! Kitchen conversions are easy with this 3" x 4" deluxe American Science & Surplus fridge magnet that lists everything from a tablespoon to a cup with the equivalent in ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters and fractions of a cup. If your kids already have fridges of their own, you can buy extra magnets for them - unless they were the only kids on the block who knew how many ounces were in a cup. Kitchen Fun.

Get a grip on your nail clip. These 3” long nail clippers have finger and thumb loops built into the arms. Called EZ-Grip, they're much easier for anyone to hang onto, period—but they’re also extra-good for anyone with arthritic hands or other grip issues. When you’re done clipping, they fold back down for storage, just like standard clippers do.

Someone goofed which means you get a deal. These shiny 8GB USB flash drives have a little misprint which we slapped a sticker over. Plus they’re attached to a keyring so you can keep it attached to your keys, bag or maybe a necklace if you’re feeling quirky. 8GB is more than enough to hold more than 5,000 images, 1,800 MP3 files or one really, really, really long word document. And at this price you can afford to fill a desk drawer with them. 

Yes, there’s a scientific explanation, but we prefer to think this magnetizing/demagnetizing tool relies on magic. Stick a screwdriver head in the bottom, it’s magnetized. Stick it in the top, it’s demagnetized. Fun for the whole family. Measures 2” square x 1-1/4” with stair-step ports for blades of different sizes. Never drop a screw again.

Zivko the Robot. Our best selling STEM kit ever! Just call her (or him--it’s unclear and we don’t like to ask) “Zivko” because “the Robot” is her last name. Using just a screwdriver and side cutters, you build Zivko from this 107-piece S.T.E.M. kit. Set the mode for “Follow Me” or “Explore,” and Zivko will, yes, track you, or evade obstacles, respectively, via an infrared sensor and micro-controller programming. Interactive LEDs and sounds abound. Measures approx 5" x 5-1/2" x 6-1/2" when assembled with all (6) legs. You add (4) “AAA”s for power, which is the least you can do for someone this cute. Ages 10+.

who's got the button? You do, which means you don't have to go the drugstore when your watch, calculator, camera, radio or nearly anything else stops. Be prepared for electronic quitters with this 30-pack of button cell batteries in the most popular sizes. Our each is (6) AG1, (6) AG3, (6) AG4, (3) AG5, (3) AG12, and (6) AG13 batteries.

…but only if you buy one today. This 10” diameter LED ring light from Farpoint® provides even, 360-degree illumination so you won’t end up with unflattering shadows or mustard-colored skin during video conferences, live streams and selfie-snaps. It’s like a 450-lumen halo you can put anywhere you like. Comes with a 7-1/2” tripod with a locking ball-and-socket joint, and has an adjustable phone holder in the middle, which also makes it great for applying makeup. Plugs into a standard USB port via the 6-foot cable, and the in-line control switch lets you select between (10) brightness levels and (3) color temperature modes. If selfies and video aren’t your thing, the light is also great for product photography, which is what we use ours for, among other things.

Shaped like a thick hockey puck, this outstanding Bluetooth® speaker won’t knock your teeth out (like a real hockey puck) but it might blow your mind. Rechargeable and portable, the speaker measures 2-1/2” dia x 1-1/2” thick in dark blue with the logo of the bank whose name adorns a hockey rink in Our Nation's Capital. Feel free to cover it up, like the Blackhawks fans in our office did. Rechargeable batteries are lithium, which is better, and it charges via the included USB to micro-USB cord. Comes with a microphone, microSD card slot, volume control, play/pause/phone selector, and next-song feature. Sounds good enough for Paul to drown out Pat's ambient Australian heavy metal holiday music. Priced at half the MSRP and is perfect for the pool, park or cubicle.

Teensy tiny brushes for cleaning teensy tiny tubes, airbrushes, spray guns, tattoo equipment, nozzles, etc. Think miniature bottle brushes. You get a set of (5) brushes: 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" and 3/16" dia. All have nylon bristles, are 4" long, and are on a slip ring so you won't lose them.

A handy space-saver, this 6-outlet tap expands a double outlet (with grounded plugs) to take (6) grounded plugs. In off-white plastic, it measures 4-3/4" x 3-1/8" x 1-1/4" thick, with the outlets on the long sides. The plugs run in the same direction, along the long axis. Can also be flush-mounted if you remove the existing wall plate, since it will take a long screw (not included) through to the outlet threads. Rated for a maximum of 15A. Great for behind furniture, TVs, etc. UL.

Pocket protectors are for nerds (like us) but sheet protectors are for smart and sensible people (like you). Not bed sheet protectors! The (100) sheet protectors in this package are for your important documents. At 11" x 9-1/4" with reinforced edges and (11) holes punched in them (so they’ll fit any binder), these things are priceless at less than five bucks for the lot. Acid-free and archival-safe, too. javascript:;

A lovely mini-funnel, made for pouring Dad's special medicine into a hip flask, but just dandy for filling salt and pepper shakers or anything else with a little yap. Stainless steel with a 1-3/8" ID intake mouth and a 5/16" ID outlet. 1-7/8" tall OA.

Each set has (1) d4, d6, d8, d12, d20, and (2) d10 percentile dice, (1) with 10S and the other with single digits. Use to slay dragons and journey through the deepest dungeons, or just to upgrade your Monopoly nights. Officially judged “nice dice, dudes” by the office gaming geeks. Ages 8+.

And it’ll never smell like leftover pork lo mein again. The fridge, that is. We love this 4” tall penguin in the traditional black and white outfit just for the way it looks. But pull off the black silicone top, and fill the hard plastic bottom with baking soda, and the little bugger will deodorize your ice box for no additional charge.

Pop one of these roughly 1-1/4" dia stones into the toe of a sock, smash it with a hammer, and be the first person ever to see your real-as-Nature-makes-it geode!! Ninety percent of them have the familiar beautiful white crystals inside. Formed by volcanic action, they are found all over the world, but ours are from Mexico. There is no way to tell from the outside if they have crystal centers, but we will send you two just to raise your odds, and we haven't had a dud yet in our stores!! Much much more fun and satisfaction than buying one already cracked.

From X-Acto®, the folks who make the precision arts & craft knives, the "Bulldog" is an old-school crank pencil sharpener with a translucent blue, green or red case so you can keep tabs on your shavings and watch the menacing teeth grind away. Unit is roughly 5" tall x 4" wide (including crank handle) x 3” deep. The square rubber pad on the bottom provides suction when the side lever is pulled. Works best on a flat surface, but you knew that.

They don’t give them away in bars anymore, so you’d better buy this Matchstick Fire Starter. Has a 1-1/2" x 1-1/8" x 3/8" flint housing and a 1” striker with a small cotton wick around the end. Fill it with a little lighter fluid and you’re ready to start something. Includes a 1/2” clip to hang it on something. A must for camping.
