Tools for your keychain, a light for purse or pocket.


Every year at the National Hardware Show I make sure to stop by the Swiss Tech booth because they never fail to introduce several new products. This year a few of them caught my eye, and here are two of them. The 7-in-1 XDrive Micro Ratchet Tool is lightweight and easy to use. Rather than have all the tools fold out, the X-Drive Micro Ratchet-Tool has a swing-out bit storage tray containing all five-tool drivers. There’s a Flat Head Driver, #2 Phillips Driver, 5/32” Allen Driver,1/8” Allen Driver, and a 1/4" Socket Driver. The ¼” socket driver fits standard sized sockets and adds tremendous versatility to an already versatile and convenient pocket-sized micro multi-tool. Each driver locks in magnetically and can be used with the smooth action reversible ratchet.. There’s an LED at either side of the tool so you can illuminate the job at hand as you work. If you want to wear the Xdrive Micro Ratchet Tool, there’s a key chain quick release. The tool is 3.6" x 1.4" x .7" and it weighs 1.92 Oz. The 50,000-hour LED bulbs are powered by 2 CR1025 lithium batteries which are included. MSRP Under $12. Under $10 if you do a web search at Amazon. Company website info:

Years ago, when I did the Zelco Purse Guard, Leo make fun of it (see link below). I don’t how he’ll react to the new Swiss Tech BodyGard Purse Light and Alarm. This device should appeal to anyone who has been frustrated trying to find something in a dark purse. But it’s not limited to lighting the inside of a purse. A large clip on the back of the BodyGuard Purse Light attaches it to belt, purse or pretty much anywhere. You could attach it to a pocket and with its 3 LED panoramic dome light and reflector, it could help light your way as you walk at night. But wait, there’s more! If you feel threatened and want to attract people nearby, push a button on the BodyGuard Purse Light to set off the built-in sonic alarm, which reaches up to 130 dB. There’s also a lanyard to attach this device to a purse strap or you can wear it around the neck. The replaceable batteries are included. It weighs 1.3 oz and is 2.4” x 1.83” x 1.33”. MSRP: Under $12.00

Gold is one of the important and natural sources available on the planet. In order to understand how the gold market determines the price of gold or Today Gold Rate, we have to first dismiss the principle of supply and demand . The supply and demand forces are the factors that define Today Gold Rate, they do not factor all that much over the long term.
