A Working Wonder

If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it. The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction. And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.

Tubs for Stuff

Originally intended for hospital use (Think Nurse Cratchit. Think cold, wet sponge baths.), these 12” x 9–1/2” x 4–1/4” deep washbasins have rounded ends and flat lips. The #5 plastic is that wonderful institutional–yellow color. But they’re indestructible, short of melting them, and they nest when not in use. Use them to store your craft supplies, the kid’s action figures, the cat’s squeeze toys. Or take up nursing.

Multitasking Grinder

Give this adaptable Multigrinder a whirl, and we know you'll like it. It's heavy enough to stay put on its rubber feet, but small enough at 9-1/2" wide OA for you to move it to where you need it. The almost 3" dia wheels -- (1) for buffing, (1) for grinding -- are variable speed, up to 10,000 rpm. Best of all, it has a 31" flexible-shaft attachment with a 1/8" collet at the end. It accepts most Dremel®-type bits, and can save you the cost of a rotary tool. The 6-ft power cord has a 3-pronged grounded plug. Comes with detailed instructions for use and safety, and this reminder from A.S.&S. that you should tighten the wheels, if necessary, before using it, and always wear eye protection. It's not as strong as a big bench grinder, but it's a very cool hobby tool!

Square Deal

"Timmy, son, take a look at my beautiful new magnifier - nice and hefty, 3-1/8" square glass that blows stuff up to 2X, and best of all, it's got bright white LEDs at all four corners. And a purty 5" long colored-plastic handle that bends up to 20 degrees so your old gramps doesn't have to." "But, Grampa, I thought magnifying glasses were always round." "Well, most of them are, Timmy, but not all of them. Not if you know where to shop. This one's got corners, because those newspaper stories that Grampa can't see are rectangular, not round. It just makes sense. Here, you push this button and watch it light up these obits and Grampa'll read 'em to you." Requires (2) AA batteries not included.

21st Century Walking Stick

Walking sticks have moved into the space age! This walker's/hiker's friend has futuristic features and the look of an inter-galactic weapon. The high-quality collapsible aluminum stick extends from a packable 27" to a full 56", and has a carbide tip with a rubber cover, a removable 2" dia disk to keep the stick from sinking into soft ground, and an internal shock absorber that can be turned on or off. At the top, a 5-LED flashlight with a 90° pivot is embedded in a molded-plastic cane-style handle to light your way. For mountain trekking, lengthen the stick, slip the adjustable canvas wrist strap over your hand, and clutch the stick by the padded foam section below the cane handle. Directions, diagrams, and 1100mm to 1350mm gradations are marked clearly on the 3-draw pole. We'll pick a black or anodized red, green, blue, silver or purple version for you.

Electric Styro Knife

"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. Has a 7-foot cord, line switch, safety stand, and wall-outlet adapter.
