Chances are, sooner or later, you’re going to spill something on your keyboard. After all, how often do you grab that cup of coffee or a glass of soda before you sit down and spend some time at the computer? Spilling liquids on your keyboard is usually a complete disaster, time to toss the keyboard out and replace with a new one.
Not the case with the Silver Surf keyboard. The Seal Shield Silver Surf Wireless Keyboard is waterproof.

Most people haven’t stopped to consider what a potent transfer agent for germs and bacteria your computer keyboard can be. After all, we touch the keyboard with our hands. And we know that contact with the hands is one of the surest ways to spread germs.
It makes sense to protect against spreading germs in environments where keyboards are shared such as your home, a public or school library, a school lab, at work and in the office.
Seal Shield is a recognized leader in infection control innovation.

The Gardena Oscillating Lawn Sprinkler Is The Best You Can Find
July 2, 2012 by mintgadgets
Filed under Garden Gadgets
Take a common item like a lawn sprinkler. Most of the lawn and garden portable sprinklers out there are pretty mundane, and actually leave lots of room for improvement. There’s definitely an opportunity for some company to come along and deliver a better lawn sprinkler solution.
When companies step up to the plate with better products, these are exactly the kind of gadgets we like to uncover at Mint Gadgets. Here’s a new lawn and garden sprinkler that clearly stands out from the rest. Introducing the Gardena Oscillating Lawn Sprinkler, easily the very best lawn and garden sprinkler you can find.
Tested by the well respected Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, the Gardena Oscillating Lawn Sprinkler achieved the “Best Rating” over and above the other lawn sprinklers tested. This lawn and garden sprinkler earned the best in class because it offers convenient features that make it easier to use and more important, it covers a larger watering area than the other models.
The Gardena Lawn and Garden Sprinkler covers up to a full 2,728 square feet which is more than 628 square feet of watering coverage over the other sprinkler models. You can adjust the watering spray length from 10 feet up to 62 feet. That’s 12 feet longer than inferior lawn and garden sprinklers.
And the sprinkler spray width is easily adjustable as well. Two convenient slide switches on the side allow you to quickly adjust the watering spray width from a minimum of 13 feet all the way up to a width of 56 feet. This helps you avoid watering driveways, patios or other areas adjacent to your lawn or garden.
What’s one of the most inconvenient aspects with portable oscillating lawn sprinklers? If you’re like most of us, you will probably answer “the attaching and detaching of the sprinkler from the hose”. That’s usually a big hassle, don’t your agree? The Gardena Lawn Sprinkler solves this problem with a smartly designed adapter that you leave attached to your hose. Then you simply hook up the hose with adapter to the sprinkler with quick easy snap and un-snap. No more tedious twisting and untwisting and forever untangling your garden hose.
The Gardena Oscillating Lawn Sprinkler is also equipped with a mechanical timer that automatically turns off the water after five minutes all the way up to a full two hours of watering time. The sprinkler is 23 inches long, 6 inches wide, 4 3/4 inches high and weighs 2 1/4 pounds. And carries the famous Hammacher Lifetime Guarantee!
This sturdy and rugged precision German design is hands down the best Lawn and Garden Sprinkler you can find anywhere.

How About A Flying Hovercraft

If you’re an outdoors fan, and you’re looking for a better way to get around over water and land, you have to check out the Flying Hovercraft by Universal. Most hovercraft elevate just a few inches above the water and barely skim over the surface. The flying hovercraft is different.
Leveraging the aeronautic principal known as the “ground effect”, the flying hovercraft glides over water and land at a cruising altitude of 2 to 6 feet and can fly at speeds of 75 mph and more. The good news is that operating a flying vehicle in “ground-effect” does not require a pilots license. But you will need to register the flying hovercraft as a boat.
The flying hovercraft presents interesting possibilities for many commercial applications and is a great idea for the tourism industry if you want to offer outdoor enthusiasts a new and different experience.
The integrated wings enable the hovercraft to literally fly over water and land. Powered by a 130 horsepower twin-cylinder, turbocharged and fuel-injected, liquid-cooled gasoline engine. Propelled by a 60 inch wood and carbon composite propeller and an 1,100 RPM 34 inch lift fan inflates the durable vinyl-coated nylon skirt to hover above the ground.
The flying hovercraft can operate in fresh and saltwater environments and can maneuver over sand, grass, mud, swamp, desert, ice and snow at up to 30 percent inclines. The wings and horizontal elevator allow the pilot to literally hop over land or water based obstacles with the ability for brief 20 foot high jumps. These types of obstacles are usually insurmountable for normal or typical hovercraft,
You pilot the flying hovercraft with a joystick that controls three vertical rudders and the elevator. A twist friction-lock throttle controls forward speed. And a variable drive system controls the lift fan for hovering. You break or slow the hovercraft by lowering the lift fan RPMs which will cause the vehicle to come to rest on the Kevlar composite landing skids.
The flying hovercraft, with a low center of gravity and lighter weight composite fiberglass/PVC hull, can operate in winds as high as 25 mph and can navigate waves as high as 6 feet when in flight.
The two nine-gallon gasoline tanks hold enough fuel to enable a 160 mile range, and the flying hovercraft can support pilot and passenger payloads of up to 600 pounds. Dimensions are 19 feet in length, by 7 feet 8 inches wide, by 6 feet 6 inches high, and weighs 1,100 pounds.
At $190,000, the flying hovercraft may be out of reach for most people, but if you have the budget, this fun outdoor gadget will undoubtedly draw lots of attention and place you in a class of your own.

The Best Commuter Cup You Can Find

If you’re one of those people that just have to have that ready supply of hot coffee with you on your drive or commute into work every morning, then maybe you can relate to this dilemma. I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have trouble drinking from the commuter cups I’ve tried. I’m forever and constantly spilling, dripping and dribbling coffee all over myself as I try to drink from these poorly designed commuter containers while I’m trying to drive.Sound familiar? Nothing is worse than spilling hot coffee all over yourself, what a messy disaster!
Fortunately, there’s a perfect solution, the Best Commuter Cup from Hammacher Schlemmer. In search of some of the best products in many different categories, the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducted a series of comparisons tests to find the absolute best commuter cup you can find. The result is The Best Commuter Cup, the hands down winner of the commuter cup comparisons.
The Best Commuter Cup solves a couple of common problems you typically find with most of the commuter cups out there. First, this commuter cup simply does not leak, even when you flip the container completely upside down. The convenient spill-proof lid pops opens with the touch of button for easy drinking and sipping your beverage. More importantly, the lid stays closed when you it closed. No more “oops, the lid accidentally opened by itself and I spilled coffee all over the place”!
This commuter cup model has a sleek and slim design so it easily fits an your vehicle’s cup holder. Hammacher Schlemmer also conducted a series of tests to determine how well the commuter cup maintains the temperature of the liquids you place in the container, both hot and cold. The Best Commuter Cup was able to maintain the temperature of hot water for over 2 hours, allowing the hot water to decrease in temperature by only 18 degrees F. Inferior commuter cups allow hot liquids to drop by as much as 71 degrees F in the same time period.
The Best Commuter Cup is also able to keep ice cubes frozen for up to 36 hours. Again, the inferior commuter cup models typically can only keep ice cubes frozen for as little as six hours. Several design aspects of the Best Commuter Cup contribute to its superior ability to retain or maintain stored beverage temperatures. The dual-wall container design with a vacuum insulation between the two container walls prevents heat or cold to transfer or escape.
And the Best Commuter Cup is easy to clean due to the wide mouth and nonporous interior. Available in an attractive Blue or Champagne brush metal finish. The Best Commuter Cup has a 16 ounce capacity, is 9 inches high, by 2 1/2 inches wide and weighs 17 ounces.
End your search for a good quality commuter cup that really works. You can trust Hammacher Schlemmer, this is truly The Best Commuter Cup and you’ll never need to hunt down another commuter cup ever again.

The Grippy Pad is available in four different colours; Grey, Black, Clear and Red. The Grippy Pad is impervious to water, high temperatures and sunlight and it will work virtually anywhere. The pad never needs replenishing of any kind, and when the stickiness begins to fade, simply wipe the Grippy Pad with a damp cloth and the sticky grabbing power is good as new.
