Bottles In Translation |
Company: | Bottles In Translation |

Is your thirst stronger than your second language skills? No problem!
Bottles in Translation offers a simple solution to language barriers,
when you travel to another country. Simply take along this 32 oz water bottle,
and when you need to communicate with the locals to find food, a ride,
a restroom, or a place to lay your head - you will have your bi-lingual
bottle ready to help you out. Simply find the word you need in english,
and it will have the same word in the other language for you to use.
If you are unsure how to say it, just 'point'!
Over 100 words are on each bottle they offer. Of course this is not as elaborate as a bilingual dictionary, but it is much handier for those every trip necessities we all encounter. Great for cruises, where you make small jaunts to local towns and villages. Also great for day trips to Tiajuana, or backpacking through Europe. You name it, if the communication needs are not extensive this will be a very handy tool to have with you. Features a loop top, so it is easy to hang from your belt loop using a clip. Comes in multiple color choices, so the style is your choice. Available Languages: English/French, English/Italian, English/Spanish Available Colors: Grey, Pink, Blue, Red, Green, Violet *** Genuine Nalgene Bottles - Made in the USA <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |

Ettore Grip 'n Grab |
Company: | Ettore |
|
How handy is that!?! Ettore has solved my age old dilemma, by offering
the Grip 'n Grab. I was constantly moving out the fridge or the sofa,
to grab items that either the baby threw behind there or the cat rolled
under. Fetching socks between the washer and dryer was also a favorite pass time of mine (humph!) ... Not any more! The Ettore Grip 'n Grab extends up to 3 feet and
can grab on to everything I have challenged it with to date. The other nice bonus is
the kids love it! So, when things go missing, they do not mind grabbing up
the Grip 'n Grab and going on a hunt.
Out of all the purposes I have found for it yet, I think my absolute favorite is how I can now reach things on the top shelf. Things that were out of sight out of mind prior. When you are short like me, reaching can be a daily challenge. However, with the Grip 'n Grab my reach now out extends my husbands. The rubber grips make it great for jars, as they will not slip out of the grip once you have latched on to it. It also has a rotating head, which is very handy when you are trying to get into tight spots. It will not rust either! Grip 'n Grab is fully rust proof. This is a handy tool that will last and last. Use it indoors or out, and you will not be disappointed. In a home with a husband who has power tool fever, my use of this handy product far outweighs the use he gets out of any other tool in the home. Ettore ... My Hero! <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |

Ettore Window Wand |
Company: | Ettore |
|
Wrap those bonus features up into one package and you have the Ettore Window Wand. This tool makes it a snap to do your windows, even if they are higher than your normal reach. The microfiber washer can even be used on stained glass windows, without any fear of scratching. For those of you who like washing windows as much as I do (zilch!) you will find consolation in using this product, as it makes the task a lot less dreadful and a lot more doable! My windows now are as clean on the outside as they are on the inside. This was not always the case, because it was always such a hassle. Not anymore! I truly love and appreciate the Window Wand! <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |

!ntellect |
Company: | Chaos Software |
|
Wishing I had a way to keep track of everything in one great program, rather than using several software programs to keep track of customers, contacts, emails and the like, I came upon an excellent contact management / email program. Now I can have all of my information together, using this easy-to-use interface that keeps track of everything from contacts to appointments and notes.
!ntellect! is a terrific, comprehensive choice, when you don't have the extensive funds that are required to purchase ACT or OUTLOOK, ans when you are leery of the constant security leaks found inside of Outlook, as a common target of hackers. Inside !ntellect you can link appointments, notes, addresses and emails to the contacts in your database. You can link several contacts together as a group, to keep the entire group updated. You can also send bulk email to everyone in your database, saving a lot of time and resources. You can have several lists of contacts, depending on what this contact is known to you for (marketing, sales, vendors, etc.) I have used Chaos Software programs for years. I have always found them to be intuitive, easy to use, and very handy. They also offer very stabile software. Now they have taken the programs that I have always used and linked them together to make the finest contact management system I have ever witnessed. This surpasses Microsoft Outlook and ACT by a mile, in my humble opinion. Also, the price is in a different league (ie: easily afforable). Using !ntellect, I can receive my email from all email accounts into one program. I can then link those emails to contact information in the database, so when I wish to contact someone who has emailed me prior, all of the information is right there. If I need to call someone, I simply go to the entry with their information and their phone and address will be there as well. I can also backtrack to look up all emails sent between the contact and myself prior, to remind me of where we were. It gets no easier than this. In a business setting all employees can share the contact database, yet work with individual clients one on one. When used in a company setting appointments and tasks, as well as contact information changes are updated in real time, saving from the hassles of duplication and confusion. A free download is available to try out this great program and I encourage you to try it. This program offers every convenience imaginable to keep your business running smoothly and once you make the change, you will never go back. <<<- (2007) RETURN TO TOP |

Thumbsaver |
Company: | FW Tools Inc.com |
|
#@!*!!! %#@!!! &%#@!!! Sound Familiar? This is the sound I have heard so many times, when watching myself or others hammer in nails... or shall I say while trying to hammer in nails. Why is it a thumb is always in the way? Well, the makers of Thumbsaver had also heard this all too often, and decided to solve the problem for all of us. Thumbsaver - the name says it all! Coming in two sizes, small and large. No job is too small or large. Great for nails, screws, you name it! The finely machined tool has a highly magnetized component on the end which grabs on to the nail and holds it in place while you hammer. Now if and "when" you miss, it won't be your thumb that loses the battle. [No, a black thumb nail is not a sign of being macho! ... sorry!] Well priced, lightweight, convenient and so easy to use that even a child will benefit from this in shop class or at dad's side in the workshop. A definite must add to any carpenters belt or handyman's toolbag. They will thank you again and again! <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |
