We would like to extend the advice to normal screwdrivers too. Or any pointy thing. Or not pointy. Look, just don’t insert anything in your penis, ok? Mac mini dissections, yes. Penis, NO. [Thanks Francesca]
Thanks to its special foolproof screw guide, the Black & Decker Ll4000 SmartDriver might just be the perfect holiday gift for that special poseur carpenter in your life who’s nothing but thumbs.
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]
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]
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]
Screwdrivers with multiple changeable heads are nothing new, but this Multi Screwdriver tops all those by expanding out like an octopus. This makes it both easy to see which tip you want and easy to poke your eye out eight different ways.
And to make sure you can see what you’re doing, there’s an added light on the end as well, which is probably the only reason why you’d buy this over regular multi-headed screwdrivers. Unless you just really love extending out the bits and shouting “I’m Doctor Octopus!!” in a really high-pitched voice. – Jason Chen
