A fine concept and pretty successful execution. Weighted bases hold fully adjustable clips and lenses for delicate hands–free work. The Helping Hand w/solder has a 2” high base connected to (2) alligator clips via (3) universal joints and a 4–1/2" sliding beam, and to a 2–1/2" dia roughly 3X magnifier via another universal joint on the sliding beam. It also adds a holder for your soldering iron, plus a hole and thumbscrew in the base to firmly position it. The larger Work Stand has a 3–1/2” x 4–3/4” stand with a 2–3/4” square x 3/8” deep reservoir to hold small parts, an L–shaped sliding beam with (2) alligator clips, and another L-shaped beam with a 3–1/2” lens, about 4X magnification. Joints adjust every which way. The set screws can all be hand–tightened, but we suggest a small pliers to secure the hefty 4X lens. Think of the clips as extra hands to hold wires, components, beads, what-have-you while you perform some operation on them with your own two hands.

Pop one of these roughly 1-1/4" dia stones into the toe of a sock, smash it with a hammer, and be the first person ever to see your real-as-Nature-makes-it geode!! Ninety percent of them have the familiar beautiful white crystals inside. Formed by volcanic action, they are found all over the world, but ours are from Mexico. There is no way to tell from the outside if they have crystal centers, but we will send you two just to raise your odds, and we haven't had a dud yet in our stores!! Much much more fun and satisfaction than buying one already cracked.

These 44" long inflatable plastic barbells are not recommended for children under five - but we think kids a little older, say up to 23 or 24, were made for them! Bright colors. No backvalve. No backache.

An imported tape dispenser specifically for the 2" wide carton tapes listed below. Guns of this type retail at $9.50 to $11.50, but we're offering this price to you as an accommodation to introduce you to the thrill of packaging, and to let you transform your dining room table into a shipping department overnight. The clear tape is an uber-sticky, high-quality tape made in the USA, and can be used as protective covering over labels or for sealing cartons. The tan tape is, well, tan, and the standard lightweight, 2” carton-sealing tape, available in 36 and 110 yard lengths, both of which are on 3” cores and fit the dispenser. And do compare the savings -- even discount stationery catalogs can't touch these prices.

There's a tool for everything. Think post-hole diggers for a model railroad layout. All right, all right. Think cork borers for all those solid corks and rubber stoppers in laboratories, the ones that need holes for glass and rubber tubing. Our each is a set of (3) 3-3/4" long brass tubes with sharpened ends and red-plastic T-handles. Diameters are 9/32", 7/32" and 5/32". They're nested on the 4-3/4" pin used to clear the plug from the tube.

AKA automatic stripper. Sorry folks, but this one strips insulation to reveal wire, not flesh. Which may still give you a charge, depending upon your hookup!! 6-1/2" Long with pliers type grip and automatic self-adjustment to strip wires from 0.2 to 6mm without damaging the wire says the manufacturer. We recommend use on 18 GA stranded, 22 GA solid wire or heavier as it will cut the wire of lighter weights. A second jaw is a cable cutter. Brand new, made in China. And very handy too, if you are doing anything with wiring.
