Tools & Toys are great, but they are even better when they are free. This week, we are giving away a few DotDash Pocket Notebooks from our friends at Nock Co. They are a traditional 3 1/2” x 5 1/2” size, but with a little Nock Co flare. We are also including a pack of dotdash index cards.
Like one of those "pop-a-point" pencils from grade school, but with hex bits.
Great way to manage headphone cables and more.
Leatherman's subtly-different Style CS and PS multitools are great in a pinch.
This 4-tool combo kit includes a 1/2-inch drill with a 2-speed transmission, a 1/4-inch impact driver with LED light ring, a 6-1/2-inch circular saw, and an LED work light. Awesome.

I thought the LED Lenser T7 was an impressive flashlight (5.4" long, 175 lumens, under 7oz.), but this little Fenix flashlight really knocks it out of the park.
Hugo's Amazing Tape is a reusable, adhesive-less tape that clings only to itself. I've heard it's popular with board gamers and embroiderers who need to keep a lot of small items neatly organized, but since it's so easy to remove and reuse, it's also quite useful around the house and office. These are just a few of its uses: Cable management (more…
The Brooks Challenge is a beautiful leather bag that attaches to your bike saddle, keeping your cyclists' tools handy at all times. The buckles of the attachment straps are located inside the bag, as well as the enclosure strap, which wraps around your tools and keeps them from rattling about during your ride.

I know it seems a bit silly to be writing about a pair of scissors, especially ones that cost £22 (~$38 USD) but watch this video and you'll see just how much care goes into every set. They're made from professional-grade, hand-tempered carbon steel blades, and each pair is guaranteed for life. The company will even re-sharpen the blades for you decades…
The Maglus Stylus Black is a touchscreen stylus that works the same as its popular silver predecessor, but sports a sleek, anodized black finish. As before, the silicone tip is removable and replaceable, or you can easily swap it out for the reduced-friction microfiber model. The body of the stylus features a magnetic flat side so you can attach it wherever it's…
I rarely need a book light at home because my wife is nearly as much of a night owl as I am. The times when I do require one are more specific—for example, on a long road trip when it's getting dark outside and I happen to be riding passenger, reading a book I'm not ready to put down yet. This is…
The Littlbug is a super-light stainless steel camping stove able to be collapsed and stored in a backpack when not in-use. It can burn wood or alcohol, can support large pots, and only takes about 15 seconds to assemble. Its height and shape creates a nice chimney effect, so you shouldn't even need all that much burning wood to get the job…
Rhino Laces are gunmetal-tipped boot laces purported to be totally indestructible. The makers claim that they "cannot be burned, cut, sawed, chopped, destroyed, or broken, or we will replace them for free." I haven't tested them myself, but I've seen reviews saying that they're even tougher than paracord, which is pretty impressive. If that's true, these laces would be perfect for outdoors…
The Stayhold is an ingenious divider that can keep things in your car trunk from falling down or rolling all over the place. It works great for groceries, toolsets, paint cans, and a lot more. You can reposition it as needed, but it grips the carpet wherever you place it so it won't slide around as you drive. You can get a…
The LED Lenser T7 is a tactical flashlight that gives off a lot of light for its size. It measures only 5.4" long and weights less than 7oz., but its max brightness is an impressive 175 lumens, plenty enough for most jobs in and around the house. It actually has three brightness settings: full power (175 lumens), regular power (135 lumens), and…
Cleaning a grill grate after cooking some meat is probably the least fun part of backyard cooking. Thankfully there are tools like the Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush to make our lives easier. The brush's handle holds two cups of water, which is released through the stainless steel bristles onto your preheated grill and instantly turned to steam. This loosens up all…
