Tool kits for girls

Thursday, July 17th, 2008 by Jo

For those of you who enjoyed the boys’ BBQ tool belt, I thought I’d spread the tool love and find some stuff for the lasses too. I found some interesting tool kits for girls – unless you’re a boy and you like pink – which is cool.

From general tool kits to drill kits, they’re all pink, check them out:

Rolson_25_piece_pink_tool_kit
This Rolson 25 Piece Pink Tool Kit is a bargain at £19.99. It includes all the basics like screwdrivers with 16 different sized bits, a wrench, a hammer, some pliers and more. It’s all packed up in a little pink carry case so that you can take it to the pub and impress all your friends.


Pink_drill_kit
For those of you who want to do a bit more damage, you can get your hands on this pink drill kit, complete with charger and safety specs for £34.99. Perfect for working out which walls are plasterboard and which aren’t…


Pink_socket_set
And you’ll never be short of sockets with this pink 94 piece socket set. With flexible extensions, universal joints and quick grip handles, you’ll be laughing with change from a 50…only 1p, mind but there we go.


Three pink tool sets. Great as gifts or to keep for yourselves.

iPod cases with a difference

Thursday, July 10th, 2008 by Jo

Following on from our fun iPod docks post, we’ve got a cracking set of iPod skins and cases for you today.

Ifrogz_tadpole_ipod_case_2
I had to start with the iFrogz Tadpole iPod Case, which is meant to be for children but I was semi-tempted. It’s bright and extra shock absorbent so that you don’t have to worry about little ones (or slightly larger ones), dropping them. It also means that you’ll never lose it in your handbag…It’s 100% coated silicon so that it repels dust and lint.  This is compatible with 30, 60 or 80GB iPod Classics and will set you back £24.99.


Toro_treo_case_2

If you’re a more stylish individual, may I suggest this leather case for your Classic? Toro’s Treo leather case has a clear plastic screen protector so that you never lose sight of your music and a rotating belt clip that (I didn’t write this bit) “lets you experiment the best fit to look as snazzy as possible”.  They’re £12.99 and come in pink and brown leather.


Gelaskins_red_robot_ipod_case_3

If you like a patterned case, there’s bunch of cool cases called Gelaskins. They come in different sizes for different types of iPod. This one is the Red Robot design but you can be as bold or as understated as you like because there are loads of different designs. This 2nd Generation Nano case is £9.99 and available over at iPod World.


Griffin_disko_ipod_case

For flashy types, the Griffin Technology disko is the case for you. As well as the protective, tough polycarbonate shell, the LEDs flash and swirl away in motion-activated light sequences. Forget disco balls, this can control a party all on its own. They’re £16.95 from MacHeaven.


Hymn_book_ipod_case_2

For the cautious amongst you, why not keep your iPod from thieves by disguising it as a…hymn book? The case is designed for 30, 60 and 80GB Classics but if you have any other make that’s about the same size, it should work for them too.  For £15,’cherishing’ your music has never been so easy. (sorry).

If you’re debating over whether or not to get an iPod or another brand of player, you can read the MP3 player reviews to help you decide. If you’re set on getting an iPod, check out all of the iPod reviews so that you can find the best one for you.




Tools out for summer

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 by Jo
Grillslinger_bbq_tools_2

Boys, we’ve found you the ultimate tool for summer. Now that barbeques are in full swing, chances are you’re getting frustrated at having too many tools to carry and nowhere to keep them? Do you wish someone would just get on with it and create a barbeque tool belt? Well, all your wishes have come true.

The Grillslinger Barbeque Tool System has come to aid men across the land with its fire retardant coating, its stainless steel tools and its fully adjustable waist band. Women will marvel at men equipped with its Grill Knife, Speed Tongs and Pro Flipper as they effortlessly create mouth-watering dishes in front of crowds from far and wide.

Well…if it all goes wrong, at least you’ll look hunky in the belt. All girls love a man with a good set of tools.

The waistband adjusts from 30 to 60 inches so if you’re pushing more than 60, you might have to lay off the bangers for a while.

So how much is this piece of barbequing heaven? A mere £49.99 from the Gadget Shop. Worth it just for the compliments.

If you’re looking for a barbeque, take a look at the barbeque reviews to help you decide what to buy.
