In translucent polypropylene, these measure 6” long with a bulbous top, 3mL capacity, dropper point and 0.5ml markings.

Our each is a package of (50). Great for labs, crafts and hobbies.

Rare earth magnets are usually killers for their size, and these thick nickel neodymium discs are no exception. The price, on the other hand, for (3) 7/16" dia x 1/4" 5-lb lift or (2) 15/32” dia x 3/16” 8-lb lift magnets each stored on a 2" dia steel disc, is a rare exception.

Includes slotted 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", Phillips #0, #1, #2, plus mini-slotted and Phillips, all on hinges at the bottom of the light. Swing them up and they snap in place with the light as a handle. The light/handle has (6) cool-white LEDs shining at 100 lumens. The whole shebang measures 5” long x 1-3/4” dia. and requires 3 "AAA' batteries which are included.

Our set of (10) comes in a nice wooden box with a hinged lid. It includes 1/8”, 3/16” and 1/4” straight bits; 3/16” and 1/4” points; concave, convex and straight edge bits; a 1/4” round–nose bit; and a 1/4” groove–cutting bit that is flat on the bottom and curved on the sides.

Don’t stick cotton swabs in anyone’s ears, even your elephant’s, although the largest of these will be tempting. Our each is a giant 325-piece pack of single-tip cotton swabs on wooden sticks and in (6) different sizes. The smallest is about what you’ve got in your medicine cabinet, and the rest range on up to the elephantine, 8-1/2” long with 3/4” dia swabs on the end. Were thinking artists, art restorers, auto detailers, electronics techs, gunsmiths and fussbudgets of all sorts will love them.

Now you can have a good, strong hook without drilling any holes. This plated magnetic hook sticks to any ferrous metal surface via a 2" dia alnico magnet with a 10-12 pound pull.

Each of the (6) diamond-coated carbon-steel bits in this set has a 1/8” shank for use in rotary tools. All of them are 1-3/4” long and include: a ball, cylinder, two sizes of cones, a spindle, and a point.

You know, like the Mounties, those Canadian police folks with the red coats, big hats and black horses. Actually, this tape is for mounting objects in frames and on walls. Its double-sidedness allows you to stick one side to something and the other side to the spot you want the something to stay put. Use it in place of tacks, screws, nails and glue. You’ll get 15 feet of tape on a spool, 1” wide. Made in USA.

"Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek!" Recognize that? It's the sound of someone sawing a styro-foamal block. It's followed by the sound of a vacuum sucking up hundreds of little foam shards. Free yourself from both with this clever electric hot-knife that slides through those chunks of craft foam like a straight razor through a ripe mango. Perfect for carving foam blocks into shapes - or smaller blocks. Measures 10" long OA with a 4-3/4" long, needle-like cutting wand, heats up to 410°F (so be careful), and makes screeeek-free and shardless cuts. Wall-outlet adapter outputs 6VAC 9W 1500mA and has a 7-foot cord, unit has on/off switch and safety stand.

Refills from standard butane lighter canister.

We love soldering, always have. Circuit boards, models, repairs, our own artistic creations that will live forever! Sorry, we got carried away. To us, soldering is kind of like welding, without the commitment or expense. Interested? We’ve got a nice soldering iron for you here, 60 watts, drawing 110 volts and heating up to 550 degrees F.

This might the year you become a solderer like us—or return to that satisfying hobby you once loved so much. All for the price of two pumpkin-caramel spice frappalattes.

Whatever you call them they are super handy. Used for suturing, these are carbon-steel straight-locking needle holders, 5” long with narrow serrated 7/16” tips. And yes, you’re permitted to use them for other stuff if you’re not a surgeon. (Or even if you are a surgeon, actually.)
