    PDA with AAAs and USB

    Some Handspring Visors used AAA's - the original, Deluxe, and maybe one other model (the Pro?). Gray scale 160x160 display, Palm OS 3.x, USB cradles and cables (and serial ones, too). But given my experience, I'd be wary of older AAA PDA's now. I know of a few where the capacitor that stores the...

    Need A Good Hammer

    If you can, find/buy/borrow the book "Tools of the Trade" by Jeff Taylor. The first chapter is on hammers, and I learned more about them in 10 pages than I thought possible. The whole book's an entertaining read for anyone interested in carpentry/hand tools. The ones I use the most are a Hart...

    I Need A Warm Pair of Pants!

    If you're lounging/sitting on the couch, etc., how about a slanket? http://www.theslanket.com Essentially a big fleece blanket w/sleeves. Don't have one myself, but read about it on http://www.kk.org/cooltools - a very dangerous place for my wallet! - Dwayne

    Looking for a titanium watch...

    A Tissot T-Touch? Titanium (not black, though), digital (& analog) display, and a blue (not exactly sapphire blue) face. Touch sensitive sapphire crystal, the coolest watch compass I've ever seen, altimeter, thermometer, etc.... The biggest shortcoming is that there is no backlight for the...

    Q re: CD Clock radios

    Only other one I can think of is the Boston Acoustics MicroSystem CD, but it's as pricey as the Bose (that is, way beyond what I'd pay...). www.crutchfield.com has some info on it. It can play MP3 & WMA CD-R/RW discs, but I don't know their shipping policy to places outside the USA. Oh, and...

    Whats the Best Water Purifier Under $100 ???

    [ QUOTE ] jtice said: ...snip... I saw that they had the Sweetwater there, looked nice, and I think that one will screw onto a wide mouth Nalgen bottle. I think it was about $80. and the extra Filters are about $30. How many gallons can one filter do? Also, I plan to only use it in clear...

    Timex compass watch works???

    I have this one, and I wouldn't rely on it. It seems to need recalibrated every time I want to use it (admittedly not that often) - I'll take a reading, turn the watch about 90 degrees, and take another reading. Often the difference will be only 15 degrees or so, and I don't believe that I'm...

    Japanese Leatherman

    Yaesumofo - for the curious (i.e., me) could you post some photos? You might have a prototype or engineering sample. Maybe someone had the tool that fits their screws and replaced the blade with a Japanese one (assuming that it's the knife blade that indicates the Japanese origin). I'd contact...

    Vibrating watches

    A Tissot Silen-T watch might be something to look into. Don't have any experience with it myself, but I do have a different Tissot model that I'm pretty happy with. - Dwayne

    watch > pocket watch conversion?

    As far as a carabiner-style watch, have you looked at this? Don't have any experience with it myself, other than seeing one in a display case at the local Galyan's. - Dwayne

    Dremel vs B&D RTX rotary tools

    I've got both - a 20-yr old single speed Dremel and the RTX. I don't use either extensively so I can't really comment on the torque comparison with any authority, but when I need to use one I find myself getting the RTX. However, if the Dremel were multi-speed like the RTX, it might be a...

    Gerber Sportsman Multi-Plier for $5

    For any central Ohio residents, the Walmart in Grove City has them for $11.00 - they had 40-50 or so last night. I picked up one, but am trying to keep from opening the package in case they mark them down again... - Dwayne

    Refurbishing a brushed watch case?

    I've had success removing minor scratches from a titanium watch following this bit of info. As I understand it, the scratches I had were only in the oxide layer that forms on the titanium, not the titanium itself. In any case, a pencil eraser worked very well for me! Unfortunately, I can't say...

    ? for the watch folks - Tissot T-Touch

    Thanks for the info/links. I found one to try on and liked most everything about it, except that the digital display has no backlight. But hey - that's why we all have flashlights, right? In any case, one is headed my way - can't wait! - Dwayne

    ? for the watch folks - Tissot T-Touch

    As an admitted gadget freak, I've been looking at gadget-laden watches for some time - although never at anything (by my definition) very expensive. I've thought about a Casio Pathfinder for years, then a Suunto - but could never get over the size of those things. I also looked into the Nike...

    Belt?

    Mine's from Independent Truck (makers of skateboard trucks). Seems like decently thick leather and the buckle sports a phillips screwdriver & hex key. The keeper has a 1/2" socket and 3/8" & 9/16" wrenches. A Google search for "skate tool belt" will turn up some pics. 686 Enterprises makes...
