Hollow Spy Coins

Hollow Spy Coins

Hollow Spy Coins

These days spy tools have all gone high tech... don't get us wrong, it's pretty cool to packet sniff someone's network to ferret out secrets, but it just doesn't have the same spy flavor as using a tiny camera to take covert photos for later conversion to microfilm. That's why we love these retro style Hollow Spy Coins. Each coin is precision hand milled to create a secret compartment inside. Once closed, it's virtually impossible to distinguish these spy coins from a regular coin. Store your secrets then pass it off to your undercover contact as pocket change... no one will be the wiser. The half dollar is even capable of storing a micro SD card. Just think, gigs of data in a coin... 007 would be so jealous.

For realistic Whovians

Doctor Who 11th Doctor's Diecast Sonic Screwdriver... Screwdriver

Best Gadgets

Collectibles look cool, but let's face it, that's about all they do. What about the Whovians who prefer not to clutter their TARDIS with mostly-useless things? It may be bigger on the inside, but you don't have to fill all the space! Gotta leave room for the energies to flow. It's all feng shui and stuff. That's why we just had to snatch up a bunch of these Diecast Sonic Screwdrivers. They have the beauty of a collectible with a very realistic twist. The Diecast Sonic Screwdriver is a real screwdriver. Open the chamber in the base, select your tip, and get all DIY on your household chores. Three tips are included for large, medium, and small screws, with each tip reversible for Phillips or flat-head ends. When not using it for mundane tasks, it will light up and make sounds so you can cosplay the Doctor in style. The Diecast Sonic Screwdriver may not save the universe, but it'll definitely keep your world in order. Gadget for geeks

Uzi Tactical Defender Pen

Uzi Tactical Defender Pen

We've always had a thing for crime shows, especially the kind with lots of forensic science. Also, it may help when the scientist happens to be a tattooed goth girl that's on a constant sugar high. Just sayin'. Even if it's faux science done in blue-tinted labs, we love it. The thought of a criminal being brought to justice because they left an eyelash at the scene of the crime is just sweet. But we're also reminded that crime is real and you never know when the bad guys might strike.

Are you expecting the unexpected? Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected? Either way, the Uzi Tactical Pen turns a mere pen into a life saving tool. The DNA Catcher on the crown of the pen is very sharp and can be used to deliver a very nasty jab to an attacker, causing extreme pain and giving you a sample of their DNA to use when you go to the police. Not expecting to get attacked? The crown also doubles as a glass breaker if you ever get trapped in your vehicle... If things get really bad, you can always rely on the hidden handcuff key inside the top of this pen. This badass writing utensil is made of high-grade aircraft aluminum and writes upside down or under water. If you can find a situation where you use all of this pen's features and live to tell the tale, we probably owe you some sort of prize.

Product Specifications

•Tactical pen made from aircraft aluminum

•Pointed DNA catcher crown that you can use for self defense and come away with your attacker’s DNA

•Also works as a glass breaker, if the idea of getting DNA samples squicks you out

•Handcuff key hidden under the glass breaker crown

•Accepts standard Parker and Fisher Space Pen refills

•Pocket clip (removable)

•Writes with black ink, upside down or underwater

•Dimensions: 6" x .55" (152 x 14mm)

Bullet Shell Whistle

Bullet Shell Whistle

There is one very simple piece of survival equipment that many folks forget about: a whistle. A whistle can quickly and easily warn of danger or signal your location. So, we wanted to find a really unusual whistle for y'all. And this is it. What makes it so unique? Well, it's crafted out of a for real bullet shell. That's why we call it the Bullet Shell Whistle. Aren't we clever?

The Bullet Shell Whistle is made out of a real bullet shell - hand-crafted to make sure it's free of danger (lead, going boom, etc). It's got a paracord (550 lb) loop on it so it can easily attach to your gear, pack, keychain, or any loopy thing you have on your person. It's also loud - tested up to about 120 dB (which is just a little softer than an actual gunshot). So get a Bullet Shell Whistle for your survival gear today, and be the envy of all those who survive tomorrow!

Bullet Shell Whistle

•Brilliant (and wicked) survival whistle hand-crafted out of a spent bullet casing

(.223 / 5.56 to be precise).

Click Dip-Switch Watch

Click Dip-Switch Watch

We spent numerous hours of the 1980s in our local arcades, pumping quarters into our favorite machines. These days, if we want to relive our childhoods, we have to go to PAX (or PAX East) to hang in the classic arcade room. Unfortunately, turning a room of our house into a dank, sticky-floored, blinky-lighted sanctum of gaming is out of the question for both reasons of money and housemate relations.

The Click Dip Switch Watch allows us to embrace the glory days of arcade gaming and have it embrace us... on the wrist. The dip switch was used in arcade games to store settings back in the days before RAM. We love the ingenious way dip switches are used to show the functions of this digital watch. Each dip switch activates a different function of the watch, from bar graph metered time display, 12 hour and 24 hour digital time display, month, date, day of week, and backlight. The strap even looks like electronic ribbon and it comes packaged in an actual circuit board.

Product Specifications

•Dip switches show the functions of this digital watch

•Each switch activates a different function: ◦Bar graph metered time display

◦12 hour and 24 hour digital time display

◦Month, date, day of week display

◦Backlight

•Strap looks like electronic ribbon

•Comes packaged in an actual circuit board

•Battery: CR2032 (included, replace when lights look dim)

Electromagnetically Shrunken Quarters

Electromagnetically Shrunken Quarters

The man at the carnival held out a minuscule coin.

"What I've got here," he said, "is the product of magic... dangerous and bright magic at that."

We peered at the coin and then raised an eyebrow.

"Actually, it looks like the product of electromagnetic forming."

What could the man say after that? Not much really, so we went on to explain the process just as we'll explain it to you.

When you were a wee geek, you probably took a coil of wire and wrapped it around a nail. You hooked up each end of the wire to a little 9v battery and then using the resulting electromagnet to pick up paper clips. Well, electromagnetic forming is the same basic concept except blown up to Tesla-like proportions (well, more of a byproduct of Faraday to be precise).

In a nutshell, electromagnetic forming is the result of cranking some scary high energy through a coil wrapped around a conductor. The coil gains a wicked magnetic field that's changing quite rapidly and imparts a magnetic field to the conductor via the "magic" of electromagnetic induction. The thing is that these two magnetic fields repel each other in a very violent way. If the power is sufficient and the experiment controlled, the coil explodes and the metal in the conductor is compressed.

This all happens in less than 1/100th of a second. A dangerous and bright magic indeed!

Product Specifications

•Real quarters zapped by 6,000 volts at 100,000 amperes

•The process takes less than 1/100th of a second

•Size: About diameter of a dime but twice as thick

•Yes, it's totally legal. Destroying money is only a crime if done with fraudulent

intent. This is just fun science.
