    Ever Hear of A Cork Fish?

    Well you will now! The Cork Fish is an ingenious gadget that makes retrieval of wine corks as easy as catching fish in a barrel! Just slip the flexible, strong stainless basket into the neck of the wine bottle, let the stray cork float into the basket, and pull firmly on the sturdy stainless steel handle. Voila! Out comes the cork! But wait, there's more. What if the cork has broken apart inside the wine bottle. There's a solution for that too. The Corkfish comes with a handy piece of gauze mesh stored in the handle to retrieve even tiny cork fragments. Actually, two of them, one stored in each side of the handle. And it comes in a very nice package, an ideal house warming gift, or stocking stuffer. (But you'll need a big stocking!) And the price is amazing. On 12/4/21 it was just $7.00 on Amazon, but that price can change at any time.

    It Cuts Cardboard & Soft Plastic Packaging, But It Didn't Cut My Skin. 

    I'm leary of metal boxcutters because they can be very dangerous. That's why I wanted to buy and try the Slice Carton Cutter. I think this is pretty neat. It looks good, and it's so much safer than using one of those fearful box cutters. You'll see me try it on several packages in my video, but first here's what the company says about it: Slice safety blade’s unique cutting edge might seem dull, but it cuts right through your material while keeping you safe! Other blades are dangerously sharp. Slice blades start at a safe and effective sharpness and stay there 11 times longer. With a metal sheath and a reinforced nylon handle, this durable tool stands up to industrial use. Ideal for cutting boxboard, cardboard, tape, clamshell and flexible plastics. Ships with a 10526 rounded-tip reversible utility blade. Each side lasts up to 11 times longer than a comparable steel edge. I was impressed at how well it works. Under $10.00

    A Tiny Device That Uses 2 AA or AAA Batteries To Provide Emergency Power For Your Smart Phone.

    This is really mini Emergency Phone Charger. It's not to fully charge your phone, because it probably won't be able to do that. But it can work to provide emergency power via 2 AA or AAA Batteries. It comes with a Micro-USB Interface, a Lightning and MicroUSB to C Adapter, so it can power most small recharageable devices. It's magnetic so it holds the batteries in place quite securely. In an emergency it's likely you'll have 2 AA or AAA batteries handy, or can find some easily. If you're in a hotel and need emergency power for your phone, you could use the double AA batteries that are probably in the TV remote. Under $14.00

    I bought mine here on Amazon:  https://amzn.to/3uXvOts
