Solar LED Address Numbers
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Great Ideas on May 11, 2010
Your address – up in lights!
Kind of like the moon appearing after the sun goes down, these Solar LED Address Numbers illuminate at night making the numbers easy to read. The unit turns on automatically and lights up using two bright white LEDs. Mounting is simple (no wiring or timers) with the included hardware. The number plate itself is spaced 1″ from the wall causing the LEDs to provide a backlighting effect. The numbers are made from anondized aluminum and the entire unit is weather resistant. The lights run on for about 8 to 10 hours (direct sunlight, of course, producing the best results).
Simply select from the dropdown the numbers needed to create your address.

Bosch 11221DVS 7/8-Inch SDS Rotary Hammer
Technical Details
- Integrated dust collection system – keeps work environment clean in critical areas
- SDS-plus® bit system – tool-free bit changes with automatic bit locking, dust protection and maximum impact energy transfer rate
- Multi-function selector – 3 modes of operation, rotation only, rotary hammer and hammer only mode
- Variable-speed reversing trigger – for accurate bit starting, as well as removing fasteners or bound bits
- Constant ResponseTM Circuitry – - Provides soft-start – Maintains constant speed under load – Provides overload protection
The first thing you’ll notice about Bosch’s rotary hammer is its great ergonomics, which clearly were a major consideration in the design of the hammer. The grip and trigger mechanism are well integrated, especially the front grip, and long enough to accommodate different body styles (I’ve got long arms; my buddy is the opposite: we both liked the tool’s feel). For a rotary hammer, design is especially critical during overhead and down-drilling operations, where fatigue can quickly rear its ugly head. The tool’s vario-lock positioning is great; it gives you 36 different working angles to choose from so you can modify the tool to fit the application. Likewise, the hammer offers three operational modes: hammer only, rotation only, and hammer with rotation. We really appreciate the self-contained dust removal system, which does a great job of keeping the mess to a minimum. Are there drawbacks? Not many. The bit-changing mechanism is a little stiff and a little cumbersome, perhaps–but that’s a pretty minor negative in a tool that otherwise provides such pleasant operation. The people at Bosch really know what they’re doing, and it shows in this tool. –Michael Shilling

Boombox Freeview DVD Projector
Posted by Daoco in Gadgets, Great Ideas, Innovation, Technology, Unique Designs on May 1, 2010
Watching TV and movies on the big screen usually requires a TV and a big screen, neither of which is particularly portable. But thanks to the jaw-droppingly impressive Boombox Freeview DVD Projector you can do both without strapping a telly to your back.
The clue’s in the name because despite looking like Darth Vader’s boombox crossed with a pair of Bono’s most ludicrous shades, this all-in-one cinema/entertainment system projects DVDs and Freeview TV onto any flat surface you fancy.
Simply plop in your discs, flip open the pivoting, swivelling LED-powered projector and gawp in awe as a quality image up to 75” is flung against the wall. But what’s with all this Freeview business? Well, thanks to a built in DVB-T tuner the Boombox will also spew out any Freeview channel you fancy. Anyone for a bit of big screen World Cup action? Back of the net!
