\n“I have many lock picks I have bought or made myself over the years, but never saw what I was doing until I was given a clear plastic padlock<\/a> ($10) a few months ago. Now I can plainly see the pins, driver pins, sheer line and springs, etc.”– Kent Barnes<\/p>\n

\n“The Nitecore Tube<\/a> ($10) is my go-to keychain flashlight after using many giveaway promotional products or $1 LED lights sold next to convenience store cash registers. The extremely light-weight rechargeable lithium-ion battery is quite a change from the expensive coin cells that made me unwilling to use other small lights.” – Trace Gilton<\/p>\n

\n


\n“The OXO Good Grips Deep Clean Brush Set<\/a> ($6) is a great little set of brushes that will replace that worn out toothbrush you use for cleaning little corners and the like. With stiffer bristles, and a grippy angled handle these little brushes will go places a toothbrush cannot.” — Dan Mushrush<\/p>\n

\n“Since I switched from dress shirts a few years ago to polo shirts without pockets, I\u2019ve been forced to find a better place for my pen and misc items I like to keep up close and handy. I settled on neck wallets<\/a>, which come in various colors and cost about five dollars.” — Craig Wilson<\/p>\n

\n“The Spotlight rechargeable LED vehicle light<\/a> $8)recharges in the car\u2019s cigarette lighter, so it\u2019s always right there and charged in the car. I gave them to everyone a couple Christmases ago, and was with my son a few months later when we needed it.” — MB Davidson<\/p>\n
