If you happen to be traveling overseas you’re going to want to bring your travel adapter, or you might end up like this guy. There are plenty of places where tourists can pick up adapters in other countries, but not if you get into your hotel at 3 a.m. with a phone in need of a charge. With a few metallic household tools you can find in most emergency kits, you too can create your own electrocution device fire hazard... Continue reading

If you’re anything like me and were hoping to purchase these tools just so you can lick the stainless steel and ingest whatever Elvis-fluids might remain in an attempt to gain The King’s super rocking powers, forget about it. Unfortunately these tools have been thoroughly cleansed. All of the items used in the autopsy and funeral preparations will be offered at auction, including: rubber gloves, forceps, lip brushes, comb and eye liner, needle injectors, an arterial tube and aneurysm hooks....

If you’re like Vince and I, competitive bikers and participators in the Tour de France, then you’ll be happy to know that the bike company Trek is pioneering the forefront in vending machines for bikes called “Trek Stop.” It’s the cycling convenience center that provides nearby stranded bikers all the needs (without the know-how) for bike repair. At the moment, there is only this test unit, which will be set up for a month outside of Machinery Row Bicycles in... Continue reading

These laser-etched tools were created by artist Dan Funderburgh. Though not all of them serve an essential use, they all have exquisite detail and beautiful patterns that really make them pop. Intricate designs scatter across handles and blades. Let’s just be glad Dan didn’t go balls out like Craftsman.

I don’t care if you’re a construction worker or a mechanic, there is just no way you have a need for so many tools. Don’t get me wrong, it would be incredibly awesome to own a tool set which features gizmos that don’t even have a name yet (yes, that’s how big this thing is), but the 1470 piece Craftsman Professional Tool Set takes the macho allure of tool collecting to a whole new level. Most men (and some very... Continue reading
