TOOLS/HARDWARE

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.

Our each is a set of (4) removable sink strainers with stainless steel mesh wells and flat rims. The set includes (1) 4-1/2" dia for 2-1/4" drains, (1) 2-3/4" dia for 1-1/8" drains, and (2) 2" dia for 3/4" drains.

These compact scissors from Tolsen Tools are technically Electrician’s Scissors, designed for the telecom and electrical applications. That means cutting through your stuff is a snap. Scissors are 5-1/2” long overall, and their 2" long stainless steel blades are serrated to grip cables and wires. But a copywriter just used them to slice through thick cardboard like it was butter. Big, round finger grips are comfortable, too. These scissors are a joy to scissor.

Hell of a tool bag here. Measures 15” x 10” x 10” with (18) slip-in pockets on the outside, a double-zippered top and (2) carry handles with a hook’n’loop sleeve to hold them together. Easy-access main compartment pops open like a breadbasket, and the hard bottom (with grippy feet) holds that shape. Mostly black, with forest green panels and a see-through ID card holder. This bag is so nice, and so sturdy, we wish we had more tools to put in it. Also great for gardening, camping, picknicking and road-tripping. Collapses down to just about flat with nothing in it. Canvas type material. 

Paul went out to the warehouse and almost picked up a pallet jack with this monster 2” square 100-lb pull retrieving magnet from Magnet Source®. Painted red it stands 2-3/4” high with a 1” dia (5/8” ID) eyebolt screwed and bolted into the top, and has welded steel construction to protect and focus the ceramic magnets inside. Includes (2) magnetic shields that you remove before use. Attach a rope or chain to the eyebolt to retrieve or hang heavy items, or use to hold/position hoses or wiring temporarily. Also good for plucking stuff out of rivers and other waterways when the fish aren’t biting.

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.

This pocket-sized mini-flashlight has (9) 405nm ultraviolet LEDs and myriad uses, from checking U.S. currency to working the door at your ultra-hip downtown clubs, spotting radiator and transmission fluid leaks, mineral identification, and (yes, it's true) locating lost scorpions in the dark. Measures approx 3-3/4" long x 1-1/8" dia with knurled sections so you won't lose your grip, and a wrist strap in case you do. You supply (3) "AAA" batteries and the scorpions.

Our thinner picker-upper, but with a powerful 5-lb-pull, 9/16" dia magnet on the business end (for spilled nails, the screw that rolled under the stove, or the heavy wrench you dropped into the sump). The 5/16" dia x 5-1/4" long 4-draw barrel extends to a full two feet. Has a convenient pocket clip.

Ahh, what the heck, go crazy and call it whatever you want. It’s a (3)-pack of all-purpose contact cement glue in large tubes that hold just under (1) oz each. That’s a lot of very powerful glue. You could repair shoes, furniture, toys and appliances made of wood, rubber, metal, glass, leather, plastic or cork and still have some left over. A light coating from these self-piercing tubes is usually all it takes. Advanced formula dries clear and bonds fast. Package says to wait 15 minutes, but we’d wait a little longer just to be sure.

Refillable butane torch, with a 1/2" dia x 5-3/4" body and a 1/4" dia. x 2-1/4" long head. Strong enough to melt solder, silver and gold solder, glass tubing and such metals as gold, silver, copper, tin, and aluminum. Equally handy around the hobby shop, jewelry bench, or lab. Refills from standard butane lighter canister.

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.

You get (3) of these stainless steel surgical scissors, which have a shorter working length (with the hinge closer to the jaws) than regular snippers, but you still shouldn't try to remove your own appendix. Measure 4-3/8" long and are quite sharp.

Prick tiny bits of gunk from nasty places with these U.S. made hardened stainless steel dental tools. But please don't use them for dental work. They are slight seconds, and some may have been re-worked which only matters to teeth. Trim excess glue from models, place a barrel on the deck of the ship-in-a-bottle, clean a rasp. If you need the strength and durability in a tiny pick, you need these tools. We have an assortment of the sort you've seen laid out on your dentist's tray. We'll pick (3) different ones for you.

..my sweet engravable you. Safeguard your stuff with this little battery-powered engraving pen. The 1/16” dia head vibrates to let you inscribe your ID on stuff  that might otherwise wander off. Surprisingly effective for a lightweight tool. Measures approx 6” long x 1” dia and works on metal, wood, glass, plastic, leather and more. Runs on (2) included “AA” batteries.

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.

You don’t even have to be rude about it because this is a set of (3) small cleaning brushes for removing rust, paint, grime and schmutz in general. They’re 7” long with plastic handles with 45-degree offset heads. You’ll get (1) each with stainless steel, brass and stiff nylon bristles. The brush area is 1-1/2” x 1/4” on all of them.

The 8-in-1 screwdriver/flashlight combo from iZoom® features un-lose-able drivers. 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. 

Jarvis Says: $4 for a limited time special surplus deal. Wrong info on the packaging has led to this special price.

Jump on it fast as it won't last long. 

It’s not all swinging hammers and sawing wood for carpenters. They do a lot of measuring and marking, which is why they have their own style of pencil. Ours has a built-in, removable sharpener hidden in the top and (2) kinds of lead (2B and yellow), allowing for clear marks on light or dark surfaces. Body is orange, with a pocket clip. You’ll also get a total of (6) refills in a slim, see-through storage case.
