Klein and C-MON Scissors

The two pairs of scissors shown attest to the old saying that form follows function. Klein Cutlery makes the 548LR (left) for trimming nap on carpet and C-MON makes the Think Easy 3-Ring Styler (right) for control (and flare) when cutting hair. The shapes remind me of different bird species and how different animals have specialized features for their specific needs.

Craftsman Compucarve

The Craftsman Compucarve is a toolbench-sized computer controlled milling machine. At $1800, it is pretty affordable. The milling software lets you select from premade patterns or draft new 3d patterns yourself. Watch the video of it in action here.

Swingline Saddle Stapler

The Swingline Saddle Stapler solves the basic problem of stapling a large booklet or zine. If you have ever tried to put one together, finding a stapler that will work is a big problem. The long arm staplers do work, but this little Swingline makes it very hard to mess up the spine placement.

Douglas Hammers

Check out this sexy hammer (if there is such a thing)...It's sleek and looks like a hammer with a purpose. I like the niche for a nail/screw to help you make that initial punch into the wall.
