The Master’s Laser Screwdriver Turns Doctor Who into Doctor Pew Pew Pew
8:45PM Addy Dugdale | Doctor Who fans can now get their hands on the Master’s laser screwdriver. Darth Vader to the Time Lord’s Luke (father-son relationship aside), the Master’s laser screwdriver is more powerful than Doctor Who’s—well, that’s what you’d think, wouldn’t you? Although you can get a simultaneous blast from all three laser barrels, not to mention the Pew Pew Pew, it’s not multi-talented like the Doctor’s version. Can you write a list for the weekly shop with this version? No you can’t. Those eight-and-a-half inches of pleasure (when extended) will set you back US$18.99. [ThinkGeek] More »

Pocket Coin Screwdrivers Pass FAA Screening
12:55PM Jason Chen | Although not as long or stabby as real screwdrivers, these pocket coin screwdrivers go many places where real ones cannot (when’s the last time you stuck a flat-head into your pants without getting a dirty look from your wife?). However, with these coin screwers, you can both screw in and out on the go with nothing but a pocketful of jingling to make anyone the wiser. A set of twelve can be yours for $8.50, which is the perfect price for stealthily unscrewing the train seat in front of you for subsequent laughs. [Leevalley via Book of Joe via Make] More »

Coleman FlashCell Cordless Screwdriver Charges in 90 Seconds
4:04AM Charlie White | If you’re like us, you might use a cordless screwdriver once a year, long enough for its charge to trickle away. But get this: The Coleman FlashCell Cordless Screwdriver will be ready for you in a jiffy, charging in 90 seconds or less. That’s because it’s not charging batteries, it’s charging a large capacitor, sucking up the juice and getting you back to your screwing duties lickety-split (yikes, how many double entendres can I use in one sentence?). The Popular Mechanics reviewer says it’ll last a little less than two thirds as long as a regular rechargeable screwdriver on a charge, but then, you can plug it in, and a minute and a half later it’s ready to go again. Only drawback we can see? It’s $99.99. [Popular Mechanics, via Oh Gizmo] More »
