The Giant Swiss Army Knife from Wenger

Swiss Army Knifes have been around a long time and come with a number of knifes, gadgets and other items. The Giant Swiss Army knife is built by wenger and has over 100 functions. It measures nearly 9 inches wide and has knifes, tweezers, laser pointer, saws, wrenches, screwdrivers and more. For a larger list of features you need to check out firebox.

Who knows how you are supposed to cart this knife around… but I am sure it will make some happy that they have all the tools they ever need on a pocket knife.

Scale RC Models

RC planes, helicopters and cars are cool. I have seen a few RC planes and jets, but not actually seen scale models of real planes such as RC 747s, RC Concordes and others. Over at funny pictures you will see a bunch of planes that have been made, scaled down and actually being flown around.

The Robotic Fly is perfect for those spying missions

This little fly was built by the robotic department at Harvard university and is ideal for those missions which require a fly on the wall type presence or places where it could put some one in serious danger. The robot has been given funding by military organisations. Due to its small size, off the shelf parts could not be used. Harvard Unis robotics team had to design each piece which has been cut with laser micro machining. It is built from thin sheets of carbon fibre and polymer with tiny bearings and motors to allow it to fly.

What interests me more about this miniature robotic fly is that it does actually fly. Its wingspan is 3 cm and it weighs just 60 milligrams which is not much at all. More details about the robotic fly can be found later down this post.

Move around secretly in your luxury sub

If you have had success financially in life and are not convinced that a luxury Yacht is for you, then you might want to go buy yourself a luxury custom built submarine. The company who produces them is called U.S. Submarines of Portland Ore. According to one source there are now about 100 private subs sneaking through the oceans of the world.

Cost of having your own submarine is anywhere from $12 million up to $80 million depending on size and the features kitted out inside. For a decent sized 10 passenger sub you can expect to pay around $15 million.

LEGO has been around for ages and probably ranks as one of the most used toys ever. I had stacks of the stuff which was pretty much all Technics type Lego as well as a few other things. We recently wrote about the LEGO PS2 memory card holder and now we show you the Lego ring and cufflinks. They each can be made to order with custom colour preferences. The ring has a Swarovski crystal in it too.

Roof Rack keeps scratches away

This inflatable roof rack is one of those excellent ideas which you are glad someone thought of. It is named the HandiRack and is set to cost around $100. The roof rack as mentioned earlier is inflatable which prevents you scratching or damaging the roof of your car while trying to fit it. Installation is easy as you just put them on your roof and fasten it to the car with straps which are thin enough to fit between the doors. Once inflated they can carry up to 175 pounds of weight.

Stretchy Swimming Cap Bag

The Swimming cap toiletry bag can store a ton of things in it due to its stretchy nature. Just be careful not to throw too much in it though as it could loose shape eventually. It basically is what girls used to wear when they went swimming and what you see the pros wear to streamline themselves. The difference here is that it has a zip around it to make it in to a bag also.
