‘Albert’ Digital Clock Forces You to Wake Up, Calculate the Time

Albert - digital clock for kids (and grownups)

Give your brain an early morning workout every day with Albert. It’s a digital clock that makes you think and do some mental math before giving you what you want– the time. It’s a neat clock to put in your kids’ room and in yours too, specially if the old noodle is in need of some sharpening.

The display shows a mathematical equation instead of the time, and you have to solve it before you can figure out what time of day it is. You can set it to different levels of difficulty and you can start it off at level one, if you’re really that rusty.

The United M48 Tactical War Hammer with Sheath

m48_tactical_hammer_1

Whenever we come across something like the United M48 Tactical War Hammer, we often read about zombies in the description some journalists give it. It’s as if we have to conjure up some reason to own this, and zombies is a safe bet since no one will ever be sad we’re contemplating killing a fictional character. However, we think the United M48 Tactical War Hammer with Sheath is badass all on its own, zombie or not.

The M48 Tactical War Hammer from United Cutlery is the hammer/axe combination! The cast 2Cr13 stainless steel black oxide-coated head can pummel almost anything with ease. The handle features a defensive war hammerhead and a devestating piercing spike, which offers great applications as an effective breaching tool and defensive hammer. The 30% fiberglass handle is nearly indestructible, and the axe head is attached to it with metal bolts. Includes a TPR hammerhead cover and a nylon sheath with Velcro closure.

– 7 3/4″ cast 2Cr13 stainless steel head
– Powerful back spike
– 30% fiberglass & reinforced nylon handle
– Measures 15 1/2″ overall in length
– Includes TPR head cover and a nylon sheath with a Velcro closure

Better yet, it’s not going to break the bank at $50.

Kingii, The Wrist-Worn Inflatable Flotation Device Could Save Your Life

Kingii-inflatable-wristband

You’ve seen them: kids on boats thinking they’re too cool to wear a life jacket. It’s all fun and games until one of them falls off and realizes he doesn’t know how to swim. Had he been wearing the Kingii wristband, he might’ve lived. It’s a flotation device that’s activated with the pull of a lever: pull on it and it punctures a CO2 cartridge, which then fills up a bright orange bag. This will give the wearer enough buoyancy to make it back to the surface, while the bright orange bag makes finding the person in distress easier. There’s even an integrated whistle to help you attract attention, increasing your odds of survival. It’s a brilliant design, since more people are likely to wear an unobtrusive wrist-worn flotation device than the admittedly bulky and annoying vests. It’s a $79 pledge for one Kingii with 2 CO2 packs.

Homping Grill Is An Upgrade To Portable BBQs

Homping-Grill

BBQ season is in full swing and the list of ways to get your meat cooked is nearly endless. You’re going to have to add the Homping Grill to that: it’s a portable charcoal BBQ with an integrated fan, and 95% less smoke than traditional grills. It uses a special gel to light the briquettes, which reach 400 degrees within 2 to 3 minutes. The angled design of the cooking surface directs fat drippings away from the flames, reducing flareups and thereby keeping smoke production to a minimum. The battery-powered fan stokes the flames, maintaining a constant temp, or reducing it as needed. Best of all, it’s already available at $200.

Giant Unicorn Lamp is Ginormous and Awesome!

Giant Unicorn Lamp

A small unicorn lamp is cool. A medium-sized one is better. But a giant unicorn lamp? That’s just plain awesome! So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a campaign on Kickstarter to make the latter has reached its funding goal several times over. The ginormous unicorn lamp measures 20 x 12 inches– which is larger than your average lamp for sure.

The Giant Unicorn lamp has various lamp modes (because first and foremost, it is a lamp.) A pledge of $85 will get you one giant unicorn lamp, and you’ll get the mini uni light if you add $10 more to your pledge.

‘Tiny Hands’ Gives You Creepily Small Hands–Well, Sort Of

Tiny Hands

 

No, there’s nothing wrong with that dude’s hands. You should be able to tell easily if you look closely, because they’re clearly made from plastic. What he actually has is a pair of Tiny Hands and it’s exactly what its name says it is. Molded from plastic, you can use these unusually small plastic human hands to pull pranks, scare the bejeezus out of people, and shoot some pretty gnarly photos.

There isn’t anything particularly funny about a person’s hands. Unless, of course, they’re about five times too small for their body. The set includes one right and one left miniature mitt so you can make a silly salute, give a hilarious high-five, and maybe even pop some bubbles on the Lawrence Welk show.

Tiny Hands are available for $8.99.
