Too bad we don't have Horrible Freight up here. I was really looking for a pneumatic slide whistle.

I need a cordless hammer.  I keep getting tangled up in the cord on mine... :)

 

I actually spent about 30 seconds looking at the first tool thinking "what the heck is that for?", before I read the text and realized it was all in jest.

Haha ~ The moron lamp is a classic, and the nose picking tool with attachments is VERY interesting!

 

Kinda reminded me when i saw 'the world's best invention - a solar powered torch light' ... 

[cteno4]

Ha, ken gotcha! thanks for the chuckle!

 

i actually went to radio frequency power transfer for my hammer. i have a huge coil running around the garage and it works great, but makes my hair stand on end when switched on for some reason. arcing can also be an issue at times. my neighbor has taken to calling me thor. unfortunately i can only use the hammer in the garage, but now thinking of putting the induction coil all around the house...

well a depth gauge is definitely necessary for a nose picking too otherwise brain damage is possible, but then you could purchase the moron light...

Very funny Jeff! But I do want to order the Muppet work gloves....and does anybody know if the cordless hammer is "left or right" handed?

You have to use both hands with a cordless, so it doesn't matter. Isn't that a proper number of fingers, that's what the Simpsons and Wallace and gromit have so it must be reality! I remember nick parks taking about the three fingers thing. He said 4 fingers never looks right when drawn, viewers thought there was something wrong when hands have 4 fingers.

While looking at some documentation I just realised that the 110 years old MUKI cargo boxcab trams still in use in Budapest do have pneumatic slide whistles. The capability to change the whistle tone on the fly is one of the most important features as much as the incapability of the management in the last 100 years to retire vehicles until they literally fall apart. :)

Cool but hazard fraught lets you buy your own!

[kvp]

Yes, no need to wait another 100 years to get a used one. I still wonder if they are trying to sell them since 1904 and stocked so much because some idiot east european company bought a bunch. Btw. a company called lomex just two corners and a railroad yard from my workplace sells the 'some kind of gauge' too. I've asked them and they couldn't tell me what it was but it must work with a gas or fluid or something else. The only information is that they are brand new and were made in east germany. These items can be recognised that they are placed near the door on the customer side of the counter, have low bulk prices (pay for the paper box, take what's in it). There are also very nice unmarked chips and a tray of some kind of piece of wire wrapped around yellowed plastic something permanently on sale until sold, stolen or thrown out with the trash. They also have lots of very nice 'made in china by an unknown company' branded electric equipment. You can even choose to get the simplified or the traditional chinese manual.
