SOG BladeLight Knife

A pocket knife is an essential everyday item for lots of guys, but if you're in the dark without a flashlight, it won't do you much good — unless it's a SOG BladeLight Knife ($85). Thanks to state-of-the-art switches and circuitry, it packs six LEDs into its GRN handle on either side of the blade, providing shadowless light for precise cuts. Oh, and it's also waterproof, draws its power from AAA batteries, and can serve as a flashlight when the blade's put away. Arriving in Q3 2012.

Hammer Screwdriver Combination Tool

Strapped for space in your toolbox? Replace four tools with the Hammer Screwdriver Combination Tool ($20). Made in Pennsylvania from tempered steel, this handy tool features a claw hammer and a knurled solid brass handle that also functions as a large phillips, a small flathead, and a large flathead screwdriver. What you do with the extra space is up to you. [Scouted by Neal]

RoboReels

If you've ever been whacked by the end of an extension cord or cable that was automatically retracting, you'll appreciate RoboReels ($330-$400). Available in portable and ceiling-mounted versions, these intelligent 360 degree-rotating cord reels use a two-speed motorized retraction system that can be started from the base or the end of the cable, ensuring a smooth, safe return for the receptacle ball, which offers three outlets, a power on/off button, three LED indicator lights, and a retraction switch.

Target practice not included.

Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts. They turn back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and popular culture. From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.

Leatherman Rebar

More functionality, smaller package. No, it's not the latest gadget from Apple — that one is actually bigger than it's predecessor. Instead, it's the Leatherman Rebar ($TBA). Measuring just four inches in length when closed, it packs needlenose pliers, regular pliers, replaceable steel wire and hard-wire cutters, a crimper, a knife, a serrated knife, a file, a saw, small, large, and phillips screwdrivers, and an awl with a thread loop. Oh, and let's not forget the ruler, bottle opener, can opener, wire stripper, or lanyard ring, nor the stainless steel body and black oxide finish. More. Less. You get the idea. [via]

DeWalt Concealer Safety Goggles

As the ongoing demolition/renovation project at the new Uncrate HQ has taught us, goggles aren't just for skiers — one errant nail, sharpened wood fragment, or cloud of scary, decades-old dust can leave you looking like a pirate. That's why we'll be sporting these DeWalt Concealer Safety Goggles ($11-$13). They offer built-in ventilation for added fog control, a dual-injected rubber seal for comfort, a rugged polycarbonate lens for protection, and your choice of clear or tinted lenses.

Based on a Streamlight LED core, it features a hand carved wooden handle, a threaded steel head that adds tons of versatility, and cleverly placed o-rings for waterproofiness.

Skil Screwdriver Flashlight

Obviously realizing that the name "Screwlight" might attract the wrong sort of customer, Skil decided to give its latest tool/gadget a more innocuous moniker. The Skil Screwdriver Flashlight ($35) is what it says it is — a cordless, 4-volt powered screwdriver and a LED flashlight — all packed into one package along with a rechargeable battery. That's one less thing to clutter up your junk/"oh crap, the power's out" drawer.
