We have some great unanswered questions over at Ask Cool Tools this week, and I have a feeling that the Cool Tools community has more than a few answers.

What’s the best hand pump for ridding a basement of water post-Hurricane Irene?

Where can I find a push button pump vacuum flask for easy tea-making while at work?

Is there an alarm clock out there that has a hand-crank for emergency power-outages? Alternatively, is there a hand-crank power source I can use to charge USB-devices like a cell phone?

What’s the best 16:9 movie projector screen?

What essential equipment should I have in my home gym?
