Digital Measuring Tape

Getting accurate measurements is important whether it's a repair project in the garage or a new experiment in the lab. Sometimes a fraction of an inch can mean the difference between a successful experiment and a complete meltdown. Of course we realize that sometimes complete meltdowns are the experiment.

The Digital Measuring Tape features a large easy-to-read display that is capable of memorizing your measurements with the push of a button. It can give measurements in either feet and inches or metric units and will even display fractions of an inch (as small as 1/16th) just like a standard tape measure. There is also a setting for adding the case length for taking inside measurements. The Digital Measuring Tape turns on and off automatically, when the tape is extended (on) or fully retracted back into the case (off). Price: USD 20. Buy it Here

Singing Buck

minbuc_lg

Now, those of you who've been with us for a while will recognise this little fella immediately. Back in the days of talking fish (not real ones, unless you're referring to that time you picked the "wrong" mushroom from the allotment), Buck was one of our star products, and we were very sad to see him go. But, like all good crooners, we knew he was due at least one comeback tour (Sinatra had to have had at least 40). The Mini Buck is an all singing, all dancing miniature talking stag head, mounted on a display plaque. Push his button, or activate his sensor and he'll bark out a witty quip (do deer bark? They don't usually sing, so that's probably a moot point) and regale you with his version of Lynrd Skynrd's Sweet Home Alabama. It's so convincing even his lips move, though it was a bit puzzling trying to figure out where the sound of his backing singers and house band magically appear from. He's getting on a bit in years so his set list has shrunk considerably along with his stature (he just hasn't got the range anymore, dahling) but he'll be great for a good few laughs propped up on your desk.
