    Go to CountyComm - now! They are now stocking AA and 123 battery holders - each hold 4 batts. They show up on the main page.

    Subdermal Led implants

    I saw somewhere (don't remember) where someone was implanting a LED panel subdermal as a sort of tatoo. What was really cool was that it was supposed to be reprogrammable.

    What are some nice pens?

    Zebra has two pens I'm EDC'ng. One is a telescopic http://www.zebrapen.com/ball-tele.html , the other is a 1/2 size pen http://www.zebrapen.com/ball-f301compact.html What I like about them is they have dark black ink, are relatively fine line and are compact enough that I clip them into the...

    Carbon-based remote control contact repair kit?

    I believe Caig.com sells something similar. Caikote 44. Never used it personally. Has anyone here tried it?

    Car Tool Kit?

    I actually put a couple of $50 Amex Traveler Cheques in my car. Safer than cash. The tow truck people here sometimes insist on money up front as do the lockout people.

    Car Tool Kit?

    1. Dump the jumper cables and go with a rechargeable battery booster instead. With jumper cables and no one around, you're walking. With a booster, you don't have to get close to someone's else's car to jump them. 2. Along with the flares/triangles, get a reflective vest for yourself...

    How do I remove battery acid from inside battery tube?

    If the dried substance is from a corroded battery, then it is likely to be alkali, not acid. Energizer and Duracell both recommended using vinegar to disolve the acid.

    Pilot G2 Minis?

    I love the G2, but have you tried the ultra cheap Office Depot Foray Gel Ink pens? Extra fine point 0.5mm, nice deep black or relatively bright blue and suprisingly good writing. I recently went and purchased a bulk pack on special for $15 - that's a pack of six individual packs - each with 12...

    Pocket flip top notepad??

    If it is just the notebook - what they call a "reporter" type flip up style - you could try dropping into Border's and looking at the Moleskine - they have various styles. WWW.MOLESKINE.COM.

    Surefire V70 Holster...

    My G2 rides in a SF leather holster made for the G2 and 6P (don't know model number.) Tight enough fit that it has never popped out. It rides bezel up and there is some sort of cloth covered ridge inside the holster that presses up against the barrel to make it snug.

    Bail-out-bag for evac from work hi-rise.

    I ordered a BOB from CountyComm. Looks like too many people got hired, we had to expand to another floor. We're going to take a look at the space sometime next week so I'll get a better feel for just how much cubicle space I end up with to work with. Regular fire drills are scheduled but it...

    Does anyone know the size of a choke tube versus a 123 batt? I saw this at the NRA site and thought - spares carrier! http://www.nrastore.com/nra/Product.aspx?productid=SS%2022115

    Has anyone add LED lights to supplement cabin light of your car?

    There are many makers of LED light bulb replacements and supplemental lights for auto applications. You can search and turn up dozens of makers. There are some who sell pre-mounted/resistored LED's on wires - relatively easy to splice into your existing wiring. They even come in different colors.
