Waterbouy a stroke of genius

waterbuoy.jpgEver dropped your keys into the toilet bowl accidentally during one of the clumsier moments in your life? Well, you’ll save yourself a whole lot of heartache with the Waterbuoy.

This clever little device contains a high-strength rubber balloon that can lift up to 1Kg and automatically inflates within seconds of hitting the water, causing the whole shebang to rise gently to the surface. And thanks to a high-intensity LED beacon that’s visible from over 250m at night, you can spot it bobbing about and retrieve your keys/valuables with ease.

Capable of holding up to 1kg of weight, the Waterbuoy can keep your belongings afloat for up to 24 hours before it starts to sleep with the fishes. The Waterbuoy retails for £14.95

Imagine jumping into the pool with your keys in your pocket…. “Hey there? What’s in your pocket? Or are you just happy to see me?”
