Talking Hand Strengthener

“Speak to the hand, because the face, it ain’t listening” is a phrase that I am quite sure that many of us have heard of before. Now this statement would be less funny and a whole lot more serious if the person dispensing said statement were to be extremely buffed up, one whose physical size doubles yours. Well, perhaps that guy must have spent way too much time with the $39.95 Talking Hand Strengthener.

Yes sir, we know what hand strengtheners are like, and it is ideal to de-stress with it especially when you are at the office trying to figure out a solution to a rather difficult problem, but why not infuse some technology into the entire shebang? In a nutshell, the Talking Hand Strengthener will verbally announce results as you exercise, doing away with the distraction of tracking statistics visually. Other than that,it works just like any other hand strengthener as each squeeze of the device’s handgrip would strengthen the extensor muscles in your hands, wrists, and elbows, while helping reduce the painful symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and tendonitis. Some of the announcements include the force of the current squeeze, the accumulated force of all squeezes, total number of repetitions, and maximum squeeze force (up to 110 lbs.) in a pleasant female voice, with the slew of statistics being shown off on an LCD panel. Of course, sometimes when you need a little peace and quiet, just mute it, and also save on the two AAA batteries that are required to run it.

Eat’N Tool Dark Edition

If you are a sucker for attention, then perhaps you might want to check out the $7.99 Eat’N Tool Dark Edition, which is definitely not something you would see on the dining table every single day. This is truly a unique tool to carry around, where it has been described as the ultimate multi-tool, doubling up as an eating utensil, too! It does not matter whether you are in a tight position, you will still be able to have your spoon, fork, bottle opener, screwdriver/pry tip, metric wrenches, and carabiner with you.

Not only that, the Eat’N Tool Dark Edition will not bog you down on your travels, considering it tips the scales at a “mighty” 1.5 oz. Invented by NYC designer Liong Mah, it does resemble a distant cousin of the spork at first glance, but also comes with a plethora of other capabilities as mentioned above. The trio of metric wrench reliefs (10 mm, 8 mm, 6 mm) should come in handy in tight spots for sure! There is a large central hole that is suitable for finger gripping, while it ensures the tool remains nice and light.

Klipy Cake Divider

As a parent, you wear many hats, and while you treat each of your kids differently based on their age and personalities, this does not mean that you treat them in a biased manner. Fairness must be maintained at all times, although the approach should always be different to suit the individual child. When it comes to cutting a freshly baked (or purchased) cake, this is one tricky move since there is every possibility that your little one might come up to you and say that his or her brother’s slice is larger than the one you allocated. Such disputes will be a thing of the past with the $14.99 Klipy Cake Divider, where as its name implies, it is capable of dividing a cake into perfectly equal piece.

Cakes or pies, they will all fall to the Klipy Cake Divider, as you are able to make 6, 8, 10, or 12 equal slices. It is definitely a no brainer to use, and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning afterwards. The trick in making sure you get evenly divided slices of cake each time is this – you will have to place it right smack in the center of the cake, and the rest of the hard mathematical work is done by the Klipy Cake Divider. Of course, it goes without saying that this works only with perfectly round cakes, cakes of other shapes and sizes do not apply.

Ergonomical Back Massager

Many of us office drones tend to suffer from bad backs after spending so many hours in front of the computer monitor, hacking away on our keyboards to finish up that report that was due since yesterday. Couple that with poor diet and a dire lack of exercise, and you have got a recipe for a bad back. Well, good to know that there are ways to obtain some form of relief, and the $99.95 Ergonomical Back Massager would definitely be one of them.

The Ergonomical Back Massager comes across as a lightweight back massager that sports a superior ergonomic design, making it a whole lot easier to pinpoint aches as well as pains located at your back. This would do away with the need to contort the body in targeting hard-to-reach areas of the back, as all you need to do is hold up the massager in front at waist or hip level, allowing its curved arm to arch around your shoulder. The massaging “ball” head would then be placed in the ideal position so that it can get to work, relieving tense neck, shoulder, and upper back muscles. Need to reach your lower back? No need to strain yourself, where all you have to do is lift the handle to chest level, and you’re good to go.

All controls are located at the handle, where its dual-speed motor delivers 4,500- and 5,500-rpm oscillation, which is ideal for light relaxing pressure or penetrating deep massage. It comes with a trio of massage heads: a “point” for precise trigger point release, “knuckle” for multiple knots in the same area, and a “palm” to help promote circulation, and guess what? The Ergonomical Back Massager will play nice with your feet, too.

Electric Shark Saw

There comes a time when a man’s got to do what he’s got to do, and this includes clearing up the yard around his home. After much nagging from his wife, of course, and if he were to want an easier life while doing all the backbreaking work, he can always fall back on the likes of the $179.95 Electric Shark Saw. The Electric Shark Saw sports an innovative design, where it is actually a chainsaw in essence, although the safety issue has been tackled head-on by enclosing the bar and chain while employing a scissor-cut action in order to limit dangerous kickback.

The jaw design itself will grab onto the object that you want to cut in two, where it also offers a stabilizing factor, while there is an auto-tension feature that guarantees optimum tension. Not only that, it even cuts directly on the ground without having to prop your item up. The Electric Shark Saw will also come with an automatic chain oiler with oil level indicator, and considering how it is corded, you can forget about this ending up in an explosion should things go awry since there is no need for any gas. Seniors too, would definitely appreciate the ease of use of this chainsaw.

Hotelier’s Rechargeable Sweeper

Is it me, or is today cleaning up time? That is, after all, the impression that I had after covering the Leaf Genie, and here we are with the $129.95 Hotelier’s Rechargeable Sweeper. This cordless sweeper is trusted by restaurants as well as hotel chains, hence its unique name, where it is capable of delivering unobtrusive cleaning power without being overly complex to operate. Sporting a rechargeable battery-driven agitator brush as well as geared belt drive that will work equally well on carpet or hard surface floors, it will get to work quickly without any fuss, sweeping debris into the large 17-oz. removable dustbin.

The Hotelier’s Rechargeable Sweeper boasts of an extremely lightweight construction, while carrying the detail of one-handed operation. You will not wake up the dead either if the cleaning bug happens to bite you halfway through the night, as it sports a nearly inaudible 12-volt motor. Thanks to its telescoping handle that can adjust from 40″ to 50″ in length, it is capable of accommodating users of different sizes. Even better yet is the convenience of recharging it, as the battery can be removed for recharging, where you get 90 minutes of operation on a 10-hour charge.

Leaf Genie helps you clear your yard in no time at all

Whenever fall arrives, there is just one particular house chore that you will need to get done – that is, to make sure that the leaves in your yard are all nicely swept away to one side, otherwise it would end up being a major mess, visually as well as physically. I guess that is where the alternative name for ‘autumn’ came in, no, with all of the leaves falling down like nobody’s business. Well, the usual rake might have done the job for a fair number of decades, but how about getting a little help from outside technology? Case in point, the $139.95 Leaf Genie.

This bad boy will sport an interesting all-in-one design, where a single one-switch flick will turn it from being a forceful blower to powerful vacuum and handy mulcher, and despite wearing multiple hats as a single device, it will not bog you down or be dead weight in any way, functioning as a compact, one-handed operation. The Leaf Genie is capable of mulching leaves up to 1/10th of their original size, and the blower works at speeds of up to 210 mph! Alternatively, suck them leaves up with a vacuum that generates 350 cubic feet of airflow per minute.

Big Button Phone

Sure, growing old gracefully has its fair share of benefits, where among them include half price discounts when it comes to the little things in life such as dinner at a restaurant in certain places, or perhaps even when you are flying. Well, the price to pay for some might be failing health, as the internal organs start to wind down, while other senses of the body such as hearing and sight begin to fail, too. Hence, it is not surprising to see seniors walk around with hearing aids as well as a pair of glasses, and if you think that your ocular abilities are starting to be shaky, perhaps it is time to make sure the stuff around your home, too, will be able to keep up with your, er, degeneration, for the lack of a better word.

Since the telephone is one of the more useful tools at home, I guess you cannot really go wrong with the $49.95 Big Button Phone, where it works just as it is named – carrying extremely large buttons on the phone itself. The numbers on these buttons will also be raised for a Braille effect as well as easy dialing. There are three programmable “one-push” buttons that help you summon fire, police or medical help, in addition to other features including a speakerphone, 13-number memory, last number redial, visual ringer indicator, and volume controls for both the ringer (up to 90dB) and the handset. Heck, it will play nice with your hearing aid, assuming you wear one, and works even during power outages thanks to its power reserves.

Nokia into the microwave business now

Well, well, what do we have here? It seems that Nokia, the smartphone company from Finland that used to dominate the mobile phone market, is about to take the plunge into the home appliances market with a microwave, of all products. I say, why not? After all, the humble microwave might not be a centerpiece in your newly renovated kitchen, but it sure as heck is one of the most important pieces of the kitchen puzzle. After all, it is the microwave that helps you heat things up in the blink of an eye, making sure that those TV dinners which you bought would taste absolutely delicious in a matter of minutes. This microwave is called the Nokia 5AM-TH1N6 Constellation, which happens to be a touch-screen microwave oven – perhaps it is a sign that expertise from their Windows Phone 8-powered smartphones being handed down?

The Nokia Constellation will set itself apart with a superfast, water-cooled 8-core high-voltage transformer, where it is capable of delivering a combined performance of 5,000 watts to end-users, allowing one to heat up turnkey meal solutions in a matter of seconds. Olavi Huhtikuu, Nokia’s director of household innovation, said, “Nokia has a proven track record and extensive IPR in working with microwave radios, so for us this was a logical next step. We can attack our competition in their core business. That’s why we developed the highly innovative 5AM-TH1N6 Constellation, which will revolutionize everything from single households to canteen kitchens”

Other innovative features in the new Nokia 5AM-TH1N6 include eye-tracking technology that ensures food will stop rotating whenever you look at it, and it will even be able to adjust the temperature automatically, depending on just how hungry you look. Expect the Constellation to ship from Q2 onwards at a suggested retail price of €399 a pop.

Just in case you were wondering whether this sounds way too good to be true, or that it is just a hoot to hear the Finnish smartphone company venturing into the consumer electronics and home appliance segments of the market, do remember that today is April 1st, and what you have just read is, indeed, too good to be true.
