The 0.01 $ Drill Dust Collector – Wall Model
Drilling a hole in the wall is a man's job (sorry, ladies) – the times of hunting large animals and fighting neighboring tribes being long gone, attaching a coat rack to the wall or checking the car's oil level are some of the few things left for us.
Do-it-yourself is fine, but who doesn't hate moving half of the furniture out of harm's way before you can start to drill, and cleaning up the dust afterwards? We can of course ask our wives to hold the vacuum cleaner when we're drilling, but hey, then we'd have to admit that we can't even manage that without help.

Multi-Chargers for Electronic Devices ComparedWe've discussed in a few other articles several multi-chargers for electronic devices. Two of them charge a lot of devices simultaneously. Another one adapts to almost any outlet and is most suitable for travel. All of them have the benefit of only using one power outlet in your home to charge different devices and to reduce cable clutter on your desk. The following table compares the different options. If you know another one that stands out of the crowd, you can let us know. Click on the names in the table heading to read about the individual solutions.

The Five-Device Recharging Station from Mundi We've already covered the ChargePod, which charges six electronic devices simultaneously. Although we found this to be compact and useful, the devices, with their short charging cables, are still lying around on the table while charging. In contrast, the five-device recharging station adds the convenience of a holder for each device.

Radiator Booster Increases Heating Efficiency and SpeedCompared with “traditional” radiators, convector heaters warm up a room very quickly and don’t send half of the energy into the wall to which they are attached, but often they are built into the floor or they are mobile and work on electricity. The Radiator Booster turns your existing radiator into a convector, thereby increasing both speed and efficiency.

Orbita Launches a Radically New Mouse Concept for Heavy Scrollers
I was the owner of a wheel mouse for quite some time before I realized just how many unnecessary mouse movements I could save while scrolling through documents. Today, I can't do without it.
Some manufacturers, such as Logitech, later introduced an additional improvement to the wheel mouse in the form of a right-left movement function, allowing you to shift the info on your screen left or right without having to click on any scroll bars. And for the average user, this might be enough. But for those who need to do a lot of scrolling through video footage, 3D graphical design packages, very large spreadsheets, or just have fun with Google Earth or games, Orbita has really been thinking out of the box to come up with a radical new mouse design.

ChargePod - Charge Six Electronic Devices With One Charger
Electronic devices are proliferating in every household. On the upside, most have now started using rechargeable batteries instead of disposables. On the downside, now you have a charger for each device, requiring a mains plug per device and causing a lot of cable clutter. And when you go on travel, you have to drag the whole set with you. This ChargePod multi-charger promises at least some improvement.

Tip – Store Your Car Rooftop Box Ijust love car rooftop boxes. They are light, relatively affordable, dry, and aerodynamic, and when you open them they offer a surprising amount of storage space that you would never suspect looking at them from the outside. The drawback, as with many other storage and transport solutions, is that they take up a lot of space in your home when you're not using them. Here's a solution.
