TOOLS

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 really small guy who lives....Whoops! Wrong Chuck. This one is a drill or rotary tool chuck with a 1/8" shank and fits bit sizes #60-#80 to facilitate handling tools with truly small shanks. Very handy in the modeling and electronics worlds.

This set of (6) tweezers is as useful as it looks daunting. The (6) stainless steel tweezers vary in size from 4-1/2" up to 7". Two of the tweezers have serrated tips one is inverse, one has a slide latch and the others are straight flat tip. The set comes in a clear front plastic carrying case. Good for model cars, planes or hard to reach splinters.

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.

Jewelers have the best looking tools. This ultra-slim knife is 4-1/2" long OA, with a flat metal handle that comes in assorted colors (our choice). The short, broad blade is honed to fit into the slit in a watch case and pop the back off easily. It doesn't fold into itself, but does come in a protective vinyl sleeve for storage. Blade is made of 440 Stainless Steel and is very sharp.

Not just hooking-and-looping anymore, Velcro® brand now makes adhesive for plastics. Our each is a 1-oz tube for porous and non-porous materials, including PVC, plastics, rubber and leather. Permanent and fast-drying, they say.

Not us, which is why we prefer this fast-drying Permatex® super glue. Ours comes in a 1-oz applicator bottle. Dries clear and will bond aluminum, acrylics, metal, plastic, vinyl, leather, rubber and more, including fingers, so try to be neat.

Life will never be dull again if you carry this pocket-sized diamond knife and scissors sharpener. Comes with (3) 2" long diamond encrusted rods, (2) medium coarse and (1) fine. The 1-15/16" x 2-3/8" x 5/8" holder is also a frame with slots that hold the rods at the correct blade-sharpening angle. Even though it's made as a pocket tool, with a short keychain, it would abrade its way right out of any pocket. We recommend you just hang it above your workbench.

Hydroponic scissors. Yeah, a first for us, too, but these Titanium-bonded, non-stick, precision-ground scissors are corrosion- and adhesion-resistant, with soft, flexible handles. Short, 1-3/4” long blades, like bonsai folks use, except these are made for people who grow Boston bibb lettuce without dirt. Paul the buyer assures us, however, that these scissors won't know or care if you use them to open bags of nacho chips.

And we do mean micro. Sizes #61 to #80 (yes, that is twenty different bits) which are from 0.013 to 0.038 inches diameter!! The big boys sell a set of similar bits (carbon steel, like ours) for about $30.00!! Maybe theirs aren't from China.

Stop wrapping duct tape around your vise, and protect delicate material the right way with this pair of hard-rubber, ribbed pads made to cover the jaws. The pads have (2) rare earth magnets embedded inside the rubber. Made for a 4" vise, they measure 4" long x 1-1/8" high x 3/8" thick with a lip along one long side. The rubber is 3/32" thick.

Any way you want it. This cast aluminum wire jig for jewelry-making measures 4-3/8" x 1" x 5/8" with (4) 1” x 1/4” steel pegs, semi-circular and triangular bending points, slots at 3/32",1/8" and 3/16" wide, plus one with a small divot to one side. Includes mounting screws so you can stick it to your workbench. Not into jewelry? Bend your own fishing hooks, S-hooks and soft metal strips.  

A really cool mini drill set for your mini projects! The 7-1/4" long aluminum push drill for delicate work comes with (1) 1/16" and (1) 1/32" collet, and (20) bits that fit them. The bits are #61 through #80, some so needle-thin they could add tear ducts to a fashion doll. They come in a mini case marked with the number and size of each bit in mils.

Let’s hear it for our 4-piece scissors collection, ready to meet all of your home and office scissing needs. All with cushioned handles and all stainless steel, you’ll get 5-1/2” and 6-1/2” straight-handled office/detail scissors along with 7-1/2” and 8-1/2” contour-handled kitchen versions. All are ambiscissoral,or equally easy for righties and lefties to use.

Sucking, of course, is the syringe bulb’s raison d’etre, and this one’s insatiable! Got a baby? Baby got snot? This little nose-vacuum will do the trick. Ear wax building up? Bring it on! Kitchen spill? Get a mop already—there are limits. But the 2.25" ridged rubber bulb and 2” tapered tip, 0.2" at the end, feel so good in your hand, you’ll happily agree next time someone tells you how much you suck.

Hang it all with this set of (10) magnetic hooks. The 1-3/16" long x 9/64" hooks screw into 1-3/8" dia magnetic bases with an approx 8-lb pull, which is heavier than most jackets and keys. Good for horizontal or vertical mounts, and dandy for adding hooks to gym or school lockers.

Safety is as safety does these days, and we recommend these high-quality, safety goggles, unvented for maximum splatter protection and ANSI Z87.1-rated. Measure 6” wide x 3-5/8” tall x 3-1/8” deep. The black elastic strap is adjustable, and the flexible sides and top allow for a better seal against the face. One size fits most adults, and Pat, the boss around here, slipped them over his glasses, no problem. Goggles are sealed in a bag and the vendor says sterile if un-opened, which is good since you just washed your hands. We’ve seen them selling for $9-plus in the Ama-zone. Our price is better, right? Our bulk pricing makes them great for the workplace or schools.

If your beads need reaming, nothing reams beads like diamond-coated bead reamers. This quartet includes a 5" tapered tip, 3-1/2" conical tip, a3-1/2" cylinder with a conical tip and a 4" pointed tip, all with color-coded plastic handles, and all ready to meet your most sophisticated bead-reaming needs.
