FiberFix isn't made out of steel, but with a claimed 100 times the holding power of duct tape, this wraparound adhesive is just about as strong. Post-application, it hardens like steel too. In about 10 minutes. You need...

It's a hammer stampede! Grab some nails and take out your aggressions, or just add this winning take on the animal kingdom's favorite horned herbivore to your collection of desktop toys. The Rhino Hammer is a functional...

Brass rivets in the handles and a Swiss cheese block gave this Cangshan knife set an Honorable Mention in the 2016 RedDot Awards. It does look pretty nice. Complementing the design details are the solid walnut used to...

If you won't fly without the Knee Defender or park without DrivewaySpikes, then you best not share a bed with a cover hog anymore without the Cover Clamp. The Cover Clamp secures sheets and comforters in place on the...

Here's that bionic arm you've always wanted. You don't even have to get rid of one of the ones you've got to use it. Unfortunately, all it's going to give you super, machine-like strength to do is chores around the house...

I'm about to tell you about the Mandelmap, which means my brain is about to get really sore. You might look at the poster and think it looks cool. Artsy layout, vintage finish, and lots of "stuff" spanning its surface...

The praying mantis. As fascinating and educational as a moon jelly, but even more fun to keep as a pet because it will "tolerate handling." Especially if you let it suck some of your blood...

Smaller spaces, smaller children, smaller water bills--a toilet sink makes sense. Technically. But you can tell me all day long about how the water that comes out of my toilet tank is exactly the same as the water that...
