Beer Bottle Opener



Drinking beer whilst operating tools and machinery probably isn't the best idea, but if you're ever doing some DIY and fancy a cold one, rest assured you won't be left thirsty with the Beer Bottle Opener. Forget jokes like ‘lets get hammered’ and, ‘a must have tool for knocking them down’, this bottle opener means business. The stainless steel head can be used to hammer a nail or get hammered, and the long sturdy neck provides added leverage to open your beverage!The Beer Bottle Opener takes multi tasking to a new level, who would have thought they could come up with something so useful (the bottle opener) that serves another purpose (tapping in nails). Shaped like a Claw Hammer, the metal head can be used for striking things (normally nails), but with this version the curved claw is replaced with a bottle opener.The fully functional hammer can be used for bashing in the nails on the garden shed, or some routine maintenance on your fence. Then flip it over and it’s instantly converted into a bottle opener, which is perfect for any beer swigging DIY enthusiast!

Technical specifications

• Approximately 23cm in length
• Stainless steel handle and head
• The handle is covered in a protective rubber

Metallic Tangle



From the moment you uncoil the Tangle, you will be captivated, twisting and turning this small and simple item. Suitable as an entertaining toy for children or an executive toy for adults, Metallic Tangle lets you create almost limitless shapes in the palm of your hand through the 18 interlocking curved sections. It’s great to play with, very difficult to put down and is guaranteed to keep you quiet for hours at a time!The original inspiration for Tangle came through a limited edition work of art called The Infinite Sculpture, which was produced by Richard X. Zawitz. The Infinite Sculpture consisted of 20 interconnected 90-degree segments, or quarter circles. The Infinite Sculpture quickly grew into a successful business, and miniaturized versions called the Tangle are still produced today. Over 60 million Tangle toys have been sold since 1982, so there is no doubt the Tangle has been a massive success and is as popular as ever.

Astroblaster


The Astroblaster is a very unique educational toy developed in America by an Astrophysicist. It consists of 4 super bouncey rubber balls and a plastic rod. The rod is secured into the centre of the biggest ball, and is long enough to take three others balls, each slightly smaller in size. The idea is that when all 4 balls are on the rod, the AstroBlaster is dropped, and the impact with the ground spreads through the different size balls causing the smallest ball to “blast off” at high speed into the air achieving heights of over 5 times the drop height!

To operate the AstroBlaster:
• Hold the tip of the Astroblaster rod that extends through the smallest ball.
• Hold away from the body at arms length.
• Release when the Astroblaster is hanging straight down.
• The Astroblaster can reach heights of over 5 times the drop height!The pack contains an extra 2 balls just in case the top ball blasts off and is lost. A simple but very enjoyable educational toy…happy blasting!

Brain Trainer


The human brain is the most complex structure known to man, it’s made up of 100 billion neurons, most of these are already formed at birth. Its computing power is almost infinite, but many of us take it so much for granted that we never realise a fraction of its true potential. As we grow older, even the parts of it we do use function less efficiently than they did in our youth, and this is where the Brain Trainer can help.Imagine keeping in tip top shape with only a 3 minute workout, sounds to good to be true doesn’t it? But we’re not talking about your body, it’s your brain that’ll be in good shape after a workout with the Brain Trainer. The concept of training your brain may seem odd at first, but in fact it’s as natural and as healthy as exercising in the gym, swimming or walking.

Developed in Japan by neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima the Brain Trainer is a smart, palm-sized state-of-the-art module that enhances your memory and mind capacity with 4 training modules or metal workouts. The Brain Trainer tests speed, accuracy and memory and gives you feedback on your performance at 5 levels, your progress is stored so it can be monitored over up to a 12 month period. Better still, it’s a stand-alone unit and doesn’t need any software.How does it work?A simple solution for mental alertness, the Brain Trainer has a large, very readable LCD screen and sensibly-sized buttons. There’s no age barrier to using it, it works as well for 40-somethings as for octogenarians. Women and men can both benefit, and If you’re a couple, you can even compete to see who’s sharpest. And while it’s good for retraining an older brain, younger minds can use it too, to develop essential logic, memory and numerical skills.Exercising with the Brain Trainer is like having your very own personal mental gymnasium, it consists of two operational modes, Basic and Advanced Training, specifically designed to enhance your mental agility and memory retention, stimulate the frontal cortex and ensure your brain is consistently performing at peak levels.Basic TrainingLike a workout in a gym, first you warm up before you tackle the serious stuff.

A series of 100 relatively easy addition, subtraction and multiplication problems, the answers to which are never more than 20. For example, the screen might flash 5 x _ = 15, prompting you to key in the answer 3 to complete the problem.The aim is to complete the series of 100 problems as fast as you can, and making as few mistakes as possible.You can run the programme as many times as you want each day (the problems are randomly generated, so you'll rarely get the same sequence twice), and the Brain Trainer monitors your performance and time for each session, with your high score automatically updated and recorded.Advanced TrainingThis consists of a counting test, focus test and memory test, in which you are challenged to add, subtract and multiply as fast as you can, count as fast as you can, to add a random series of numbers sequentially, and to memorise and recall as many numbers as possible from the 30-number sequence displayed on the screen.The more time you spend on your Brain Trainer, the better and faster you'll get at performing the various tasks. And in the test data mode the unit plots your progress towards genius in graphic form, either over 30 days or a full year, so you can really see your improvement.

Glow Brick



Glow Brick has to be one of the coolest coffee table accessories we have seen in a long time. How do you explain a light bulb seemingly levitating inside a clear plastic brick that you don't even switch on?Looking like something out of the Tate Modern just isn't enough, there's a science involved. While you waste away your days watching cartoons and the kids run around biting your ankles, your Glow Brick is grabbing all the solar energy it can. Now, this is where the Brick really impresses. Once the sun goes down all the energy stored inside the light bulb releases itself as soft light, the light bulb then starts to glow inside the brick. You can use Glow Brick to add that extra something to those cosy nights in front of the fire, or just to add a touch of mood lighting to your post clubbing chill-out sessions. However you choose to use it, you're always left wondering exactly how it works.


Technical specifications

• Brick dimensions: 11x7.8x7.8cm
• The Glow Brick needs no batteries, just plenty of sunlight!

Soundbug



This Soundbug from Feonic allows you to turn any hard, flat surface into a speaker!Soundbug uses a revolutionary metal called Terfenel D to generate sound, it does this by vibrating against the surface that you decide to stick it to.Now concentrate, here's the science bit. The metal's shape changes in a magnetic field....wait for it....called (deep breath)magnetostriction, so an electromagnet can drive rapid vibrations. It attaches itself firmly via a sucker push ring and connects to the headphone socket of MP3 players, CD players, portable DVD, Laptop to name but a few! Plus when your music stops, the Soundbug switches itself off automatically, therefore saving your batteries! Press ReviewsLoaded"Nice." [The 10 Best Gadgets Under £100] The Independent"One of the strangest devices we've ever featured." Boys Toys Magazine"If you're looking for an interesting gadget for a gift, [the] Soundbug is sure to make an impression."PC How To Magazine"This is my favourite [travel gadget] at the moment." The Guardian"If you can't travel without music, consider investing in a Soundbug." Business Traveller"Sayonara portable speakers. Say hello to the 8-ounce Soundbug, which cranks out as much as 75 decibels from any flat, smooth surface you attach it to... Turn it 90 degrees clockwise to lock it in place and you have a private concert in your cubicle." Business 2.0"Plug the Soundbug into a music device and attaches its sucker base to any hard surface and Bob's your auntie's brother's lover (as they say in Texas) -you've got an instant take-anywhere speaker." Rated Magazine"...measures in at about the size of a computer mouse [and] is certainly a nice and shiny piece of kit." Boys Toys Magazine"...does what it claims." Which? (June '02)"...ergonomic, sleek, techno..." The Times"The soundbug is a fantastic portable speaker without the speaker, and it really works a top dream treat especially on glass or something thick like a polished table top. It even has a battery saving feature so when there's no sound playing, it turns itself off. OK, it's gimmicky, but it'll get people talking and it offers remarkably good sound quality from something as mundane as a picture frame." bbc.co.uk"Imagine a world in which every surface, even the back of your head, could be transformed into a loudspeaker. The Soundbug achieves just that." Q Magazine"...It even turns the human skull into a loudspeaker if it is pressed on the back of the head." news.bbc.co.uk"The sound quality achieved by Soundbug is impressive, especially when the device is attached to a thick piece of a dense material -- such as a desk." ZDNet"...Very soon, angry parents could be bursting into their childrens' rooms and shouting: 'I told you to turn that table down!'..." The Guardian"...This strange looking gadget from Olympia called the Soundbug is a revelation..." The Mirror"...along comes Soundbug and it's fantastic. Simply stick a lead from your portable CD, MP3 player, laptop or whatever into the Soundbug and then attach it to a shiny solid surface such as a window or glass picture frame, MDF counter or metal. The Soundbug actually turns it into a speaker. Tell me that isn't the best idea you've heard in ages..."

Giant Microbes


We’ve all had a bad dose of the Orthomyxovirus, or Shigella even! …..and that Propionibacterium can be a real pain in the you know what!...Haven’t got a clue what we’re talking about?..., no offence intended but we doubt whether you would, !

Pet Plant Key Rings


Hanging anything else, apart from these Pet Plants from your key ring is so last season! Forget about his ‘n’ hers love hearts, name tags and those hideous trolls with the fluorescent hair!... the latest and coolest gadget to reach us here at crazyaboutgadgets are the Pet Plants! Pet Plants are the latest trend from Japan and are currently taking us by storm! Measuring a minuscule 4.2cm in height, these tiny plants are incredibly small. Each plant, (although at the minute they don't really look like a plant) is encased in its own little dome with an attachment for your keyring or mobile phone, that sits on the top, therefore you can take it with you wherever you go!

However it will need some care…don’t panic you don’t need to be Alan Titchmarsh to do so! All you have to do is place the dome in a saucer full of water every couple of days, and give it plenty of sunshine until it grows big enough to be removed and transferred to a bigger pot, this will take 3-6 months to do so. The Pet Plants are an ultra cool, perfect gift and look good on any key ring.
