Field Test! The Klein Tools Tradesman Pro Magnetic Wristband

Trying tools right out of the box is one of my favorite benefits of working at URS Electronics. When I saw the Klein Tools Tradesman Pro Magnetic Wristband it was love at first sight. While I drive a desk at work, at home I have two young kids that require things like a wooden dollhouse, a swing set, and sandbox to name a few. Each requires a generous amount of assembly and contains as many screws, bolts, nuts, and washers as there are stars in the night sky.

Frankly, keeping track of the various metallic parts becomes a greater chore than the assembly itself. Now, I just dump the various metal parts I need on the Klein Tools Tradesman Pro Magnetic Wristband. The metallic lot are held fast to my arm by magical demons that live inside the wristband – actually, it’s the measurable force supplied by the rare earth magnets woven into the fabric - but that is a story for another time.

Picture yourself in this situation: You arrive at the jobsite, it rained the night before, you pull out a box of wood screws, position them where you want them, and go to work. Something happens and you bump the box. Plop! It goes right into the mud.That totally sucks! I'd bet you'd wish you had the Klein Tools Tradesman Pro Magnetic Wristband at that magical moment. 

Bottom line, I truly love this wristband; it has saved my marriage more times than I care to say. I can also attest that walking on dropped screws is worse than stepping on Lego. With this product, you can avoid lockjaw by preventing an unfortunate lag screw puncture, or stop a lawnmower propelled t-nut killing an unfortunate and very rare songbird; you can kiss that backyard certification goodbye!

Save yourself the hassle (and pain), save a songbird, repair a marriage -  by getting this wristband.

New from SparkFun - Wireless Joystick Kit

New from SparkFun - Wireless Joystick Kit

The SparkFun Wireless Joystick Kit provides an easy way to control your next XBee project. Before the wireless joystick, radio-controlled projects used hobby RC transmitters, the same that are used for RC cars, boats and planes. The problem with these transmitters is many aren’t customizable, and the ones that are tend to be too expensive for many of us. The Wireless Joystick Kit offers a custom wireless solution for those who want to control their project their own way.
