Helpful Gadgets For Back To School, And Back To Work Too!

If you want to write in ink, you can erase it if you want.

I never knew there was an ‘erasable ballpoint pen’! But there were a lot of Pilot Frixion Erasable Pens at the New Products Show. I tried and was impressed with the way they work. Some more info from the company: FriXion is the first erasable fine point marker pen. Its unique thermo-sensitive ink formula lets you erase and rewrite repeatedly with ease without ruining the page. The FriXion gel ink pen writes smooth & erases clean. (I was amazed at how it erases and there are no shavings to dust away.) Frixion is the 1st and only pen authenticated by the nation’s leading STEM accreditation and education organization. Over at Amazon you’ll find a huge assortment of styles in the FriXion line. They can cost as little as $1.06 when bought in packages. ($ as of 8/4/22)

Another Back To School Gadget or Great For Anyone Who Uses a Padlock! 

While browsing Amazon for gadgets I found the Master Lock Magnification Combination Lock. Some info from the company: The Master Lock Magnification Combination Lock eliminates the hassle of wearing glasses at the gym or pool and the frustration of entering your combination multiple times due to miss dialing. The unique lens design offers high contrast numbers, 360° of magnification, and obscured visibility to onlookers. With the traditional rotary dial functionality, an easy to grip soft-touch dial ring and tactile dial feedback at each number, precise dialing is assured.

From the Giz Wiz: I do like the big black numbers on a white background and the magnification lens. And as you turn the dial every number has a click. But you should be aware you can’t set your combination, you have to use the one assigned to the lock. (They are said to be about 6500 combinations available. It comes in colors, but you have to accept the one they ship. But it was only $8.18 on 9/1/22.

Here’s a reasonably priced back-to-school backpack with lots of features!

This is great for students or anyone who carry a lot of stuff. It’s a backpack that can expand by about 20-25% if you need more room! The Matein Backpack is expandable from 29.5L to 36.8L by opening a zipper. There’s a padded compartment for a laptop, Chromebook, MacBook up to 15.6”. 17 difference pockets for everything you need to carry. Even a key fob hook. Two side elastic net pockets for umbrella and water bottle. The luggage strap allows the backpack to be placed on a rolling suitcase handle to free your hands and back. But wait, there’s more! With the built in USB charging cable port you have a more convenient way to charge things. The Anti Theft hidden pocket on the back, can protect your valuable items from being stolen while you’re wearing it. It was $33.00 on 9/3/22, which I think is a fair price considering all the features.
