A soldering iron that works like a mini arc welder? I should imagine that would kick the shit out of any static sensitive components you might use it on!

I really need to invent one of these pointless products, create a need, and sell the hell out of it.

I was so disappointed to find that someone had already come up with the DVD rewinder. I think my implementation was better though. I was going to sell walkmans (walkmen?) with a sticker on the bottom saying "THIS SIDE UP".
... That doesn't sound as funny as it did when I thought of it. I'm probably forgetting the funny part. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

A real DVD rewinder would be one that searches for the words "SIDE A" or "SIDE 1" on the inner ring of the facedown side, and flips the disc over if it sees them. Of course, ot would only be useful on double-sided DVDs. A bonus feature could be WIDESCREEN detector.

Here are a few of the items I really want. Whenever they're on the tv, my hands get itchy and I want to start dialing the phone.

Radar,
Miracle Blade? Neat. Aircore Pots? Good idea and energy saving. Step Stool Chair-thing? Good appearance, etc... ...but you mean to tell me you want a $10 device that peels eggs for you? Step 1: drop boiled eggs in cold water. Step 2: peel. Step 3: use saved $10 to pick up beer to go with that egg salad. And what, exactly, does an ion bracelet do? "Balance Your Body's Yin-Yang" I'm not putting any bracelet, or jewlery for that matter, on my Yin-Yang. |

one of my clients makes a healthy living inventing things that end up in the junk aisle of walmart and on tv. he doesn't do the fullblown infommercial though. he specializes in bottle and jar openers. his latest is the gator grip. they all work really well, but i couldn't see myself ever purchasing one.

As far as the egg peeler thing goes, it's really cool to see it work, but also I'm going back on Atkins soon, and you end up eating a lot of boiled eggs and deviled eggs. It's a pain in the ass to peel them all, especially when the shell is sticking to the egg. This thing does it in less than a second and gets it all.

I browsed the one in Montgomery Mall and came away with a bunch of those fold up miracle spring open never get them back in the little circle for easy storage hampers.
They are wonderful.

These things, maybe?
Found by Googling "fold up spring open hampers". I was really disappointed not to find it the first time by Googling "fold up miracle spring open never get them back in the little circle for easy storage hampers" |
