Balanzza Mini Digital Luggage Scale

Posted: 03 Jul 2010 06:50 PM PDT

Don’t you just hate it when you go to the airport and check in your luggage, keeping your fingers crossed that a nice, broad smile with a wink will help you squeeze past the additional kilos onto the conveyor belt without forking out insane amounts of money that airlines charge? Well, you can easily avoid such a potentially embarassing situation if the attendant turns down your request (suggested via body language or otherwise), making you look like a miser who can afford to buy a plane ticket but can’t fork out the extra dough just to get that huge suitcase across the Atlantic. Well, best be prepared from home we say, with the Balanzza Mini Digital Luggage Scale more than ready to help. This £19.99 device lets you know how much your luggage weighs – all you need to do is attach your bag to the strap, pick it up by the scales and get a reading through its display. Switchable between lbs and kgs, it helps you bring only what is necessary, so that you can use the saved money on your vacation. Be warned that it has a maximum weight reading of 44kg or 111lbs.

CRKT Eat’N Tool

Posted: 03 Jul 2010 06:43 PM PDT

Sure you ain’t no MacGyver who can come up with great solutions to all of the tight situations which you’re in, but sometimes, just sometimes, you might be able to rescue a situation simlpy because you have the right tool (without thinking about making one out of your surroundings). What we bring you today would be the CRKT Eat’N Tool, where it was invented by NYC designer Liong Mah. Looking like a mini spork of sorts at first glance, it offers far more than that, being full well capable of popping bottles open, functioning as a screwdriver for quick fixes to your equipment or even help you pry open canisters. Apart from that, each $6.99 purchase comes with a trio of metric wrench reliefs (10 mm, 8 mm, 6 mm) and a carabiner. What we like most about this pocket-sized tool is, you won’t need to use your hands to eat food anywhere else again.
