A flashlight with no batteries!
The Forever Flashlight uses no batteries or bulbs. Instead it uses Faraday’s Principle of Induction and a bright LED to produce light without batteries. The light is shaken for about 30 seconds to recharge a capacitor and it will then provide about 5 minutes of light. As the light is shaken, a magnet passes through a metal coil generating electricity. During prolonged use it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes.
The light requires no maintenance so it can be left in your home or car for a longtime but will still be ready to produce light. The bright LED will last for thousands of hours and does not burn-out like a typical lightbulb – it should never need replacement.

Sure, you love music, but do you love music? We do. We love it so much that when we found these pillows shaped like a popular portable music player, we just had to grab ‘em. You’ll want to, as well! These MP3 Player pillows are soft and durable, but the fun doesn’t end there. Hidden in the deep recesses of this pleasing pillowy plush lies an unusual feature; it can actually play music!
Plug in your own portable music player into the hidden pocket and enjoy as your tunes issue forth from the internal speaker, or you can listen to the built-in FM radio. But wait! There’s still more! The face of the pillow isn’t just for show – the buttons on the pillow actually work! Change the volume! Switch to the radio! Scan stations! Or, when it’s time to lay your weary head to rest, press the power button to shut it all down.
The MP3 Pillow is fuzzy on the front and shiny silver on the back. 9″ x 15″ x 6″. 100% space-age polyester so it resists stains. AA batteries required, but not included. Since there are electronics inside, you shouldn’t wash it – spot cleaning only.

Easily pick-up metallic parts trapped in tight spaces
It has happened even to the best of us. You’re installing that new rack mount server and you’re putting in your last rack screw as it gently slips, falling down into a maze of wires and metal brackets. Doh! Now you’ll have to walk back down to the second floor just to get a single screw to finish the job. That is, unless you have the LED Magnetized Telescopic Rescue Stick at the ready. It can easily swoop down and rescue your rack screw from its terrible misfortune.
The Rescue Stick is shaped and sized like a standard pen, making it super convenient to carry or toss in your toolkit. A quick pull extends it to over 2 feet, allowing you easily reach whatever needs rescuing. The built-in LED turns on automatically when the stick is extended, perfectly illuminating those dark corners and crevices where small parts love to hide. The magnet is even strong enough to lift screwdrivers and other metallic objects.
- 3 x button cell batteries (included)
- Acrylic transparent head complete with magnetic strip and White light LED
- Auto LED ‘on’ when the stick is extended
- Closed length = 6.25″ (extended = 26″)
