Victorinox Rescue Tool is Swiss Army Awesome

February 4th, 2008 by Carolyn in Medical Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

rescuetool.jpgLast year, at the 2007 IWA & Outdoor Classics trade show (a show for Hunting, Shooting, Optics, Clothing, Knives, Gifts, Security and Law Enforcement) they awarded the “2007 Knife of the Year” to the Victorinox Swiss Army Rescue Tool. Now going to a trade show where they give out an award for the best knife of the year may not seem that prestigious, but this little snippet about this tool may impress you more. From the Victorinox website:

The title of Knife of the Year 2007 was awarded to the Victorinox Rescue Tool during the IWA, the largest knife exhibition in the world. The IWA International Knife Award has become an international reference and quality label: the Rescue Tool was picked among 77 knives from 34 exhibitors coming from 9 countries. The Rescue Tool has been developed by Victorinox in close collaboration with rescue and safety services.

Considering the competition and that they worked closely with rescue and safety services makes this tool even more impressive to me. The Rescue tool can be operated with gloves (handy for firefighters) and has luminescent handles so you can see it in dim light. Here’s a full list of features: Read the rest of this entry »

DeTox Spa cleanses feet

January 17th, 2008 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Medical Gadgets

detox-spa.jpgThe DeTox Spa helps to keep you in tip top condition no matter how rough a day you’ve had.

This revolutionary foot spa treatment draws harmful toxins out of your body, leaving you feeling re-energized and re-focused. Simply add the special salt to the energizing cartridge, place your feet in the bowl, and turn the unit on. A relaxing bio-energetic current travels through your body, disposing of waste and toxins through more than 2000 pores in your feet.

I say, Al, do you think you could get one of those for next year’s CES trip as you make your way through 1.7 million square feet of booths? It certainly sounds more relaxing than watching the fountains of Bellagio. It retails for $199.99 each.

Relaxview BV

December 22nd, 2007 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, Medical Gadgets

Relaxview

Hey, want to make that trip to the dentist a little less painful? Maybe if you were wearing one of these relaxView BV, you would be a little more cut off from the real world of pain.

I’m not certain if this viewer is anything different than other viewers such as the myvu or the iWear, but this one is hooked up to a DVD player and I’m told it can replicate a 60 inch screen.

I believe the reason this is supposed to work is that it completely blocks off the real world. Therefore, the big distraction is supposed to take away from the little distractions such as the needles and gloved fingers, you know. You know, out of sight, out of mind. If you don’t know the dentist is about to shove a needle the size of a pitchfork into your gums, then the painkiller will actually live up to its name.

Zaky Pillow is unique and effective

December 16th, 2007 by Edwin in Home Gadgets, Medical Gadgets

zaky-babypillow.jpgThey say that necessity is the mother of all invention, and the same applies to this Texan mother who had some trouble keeping her newborn son comfortable and quiet, and hence conjured the Zaky Pillow that simulates a warm, human touch. It comes in the form of a large hand, with the appropriate weight and size being as real as an actual thing (to the baby, at least). Parents themselves will be able to feel as though they’re laying their hand on their baby even when they’re busy with other chores in the house. This is a transitional item and should not be used as a permanent fixture in the baby’s life.

MAX TURBO slimming belt

December 5th, 2007 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Medical Gadgets, Sport

slimmingbelt.jpg

I guess in this day and age, folks are more often preoccupied with the outside more than the inside. Just check out the deluge of advertisements that we see wherever we look. Most women would kill to have a svelte body, but most of them aren’t willing to put down the hours to achieve the magical hourglass figure. Rakuten is offering its MAX TURBO slimming belt that is capable of belting out (no pun intended) a maximum vibrating speed of 1,234 times per minute! I just can’t imagine what the feeling will be wearing this - is it gonna be ticklish or what? Remember folks, there is still no better substitute than ample exercise and a healthy diet.

Eye Power promises better eyesight in just 10 minutes

November 30th, 2007 by Chris in Electronic Gadgets, Medical Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

Eye Power

I’ve been blessed with 20/20 vision, and thus have never been forced to either wear glasses or contacts. Knowing my knack for misplacing common items, I would likely never survive with the need for glasses. My best bet would be to save up the cash for Lasik eye surgery, or purchase Eye Power.

George Foreman USB iGrill - Desktop Grilling At Its Finest

November 29th, 2007 by Carolyn in Cooking Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Medical Gadgets, USB Gadgets

igrill.jpgI have a George Foreman Grill - wait, I take that back, I have a couple of George Foreman Grills. They’re great for cooking hamburgers, turkey burgers, steaks, chicken breasts, bratwursts and just about anything else that you could think to cook on a grill - you can cook on the George Foreman “Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine”. There’s ones with removable plates, ones with bun warmers, and all sorts of different sizes and shapes. But the only thing that was the same was that they all required to be plugged into the wall socket to work.

Well, until now.

The awesomeness that is ThinkGeek offers the George Foreman USB iGrill. This desktop grill is powered by one single USB 2.0 port. Read the rest of this entry »
