MagnoGrip for the smart Do-It-Yourself’er

magnogrip.jpg

This is a glorious idea. One problem of working on DIY projects is that those damn nuts and bolts that you need to remove are always quietly rolling under the heaviest furniture they can find. A solution could be placing loose nuts (hehe) into a jar or dish, in order to keep them captive. Or you could do it the smart way and get something like the MagnoGrip. We love stumbling over these “why the hell didn’t I think of this” type gadgets.

The MagnoGrip straps on to your wrist like a wristband, but is no ordinary style accessory. As the name might suggest, the MagnoGrip is magnetic. The super duper magnetism holds any loose bolts or screws that you might be working with at the time, to insure a jail break doesn’t occur for the freedom of under the couch. Available for $14.99. — Andrew Dobrow

Valentine’s Day Geek: HTTPanties

Still not sure on what to get your lady for the 14th? Check out these HTTPanties. All of the colors come with strategically placed error messages. Including 403 Forbidden, 200 OK, 413 Requested Entity Too Large, and 411 Length Required.

Depending on the size of your input plug, the latter two could be a really funny joke. Of course, until she breaks up with you and tells all her friends about it. That could keep you out of the game for years. Just think wisely, we suppose.

Check them out at Think Geek. Only $7.99 a pair. Is that cheap for underwear? We have no idea. — Andrew Dobrow
