3D printer for the home office
3D printer for the home office.
3D printers are among the most fascinating pieces of technology on this planet. Nerdy? Well, in that case, so be it. It is close to pure magic to watch a product prototype slowly growing in the printer chamber. We saw it once at an industrial fair a couple of years back, but that machine was the size of a closet and cost maybe USD 60,000:-. Now, however, technology has reached a point where 3D printing might be affordable for the home office or small business. Desktop Factory has designed a pretty small 3D printer that can build objects up to 5 x 5 x 5 inches (12,7 x 12,7 x 12,7 cm) and will have a reasonable price tag; USD 4.995:-. [Via]

Credit card sized mini tool.
We like these little clever mini multi tools, so it was pretty predictable that we should fall for this one. It is called the BCB Mini Work Tool, and they have managed to squeeze in no less than eleven different tools into a piece of stainless steel the size of a credit card. BCB wants USD 11:95 for this little miracle, but we have found a dead ringer on Amazon for USD 3:99. [Via]

The revolutionized wrench
A wrench with a twist.
This wrench has received seven patents, won a number of industrial awards and an award in the IDEA Awards 2007. We should confess that it took us several seconds to see the actual revolutionizing idea here. Can you see it? Well, the two ends are twisted perpendicular to each other. This offers a better grip and better torque, since the new configuration gives a 500 percent lager gripping surface than that of an ordinary wrench.

Stanley Tripod Flashlight

Tripod flashlight.
A tripod flashlight seems to be the thing to have when you are alone and have to change a flat in the dark. We do not know if there are any like it, but this one has been awarded in the recently presented IDEA Awards 2007. The flashlight, called MaxLife 369 TriPod Flashlight from Stanley, is actually even smarter than what one thinks at first, since each of the legs contain 3 AA size batteries. The batteries in each leg is promised to last for 75 hours and the brightness can be adjusted in three steps; 1 LED, 3 LEDs or all 6 LEDs. The flashlight is available, among other places, on Amazon, where it is USD 22:82. [Via]
