Thacant

Well, Christmas is in two weeks, or Chanukkah (Sokol, Jordan, Adam)… Naturally, a new slew of products are on the market, just in time for the holidays.

Some of these products which I’ve seen advertised are awesome – they really seem like they’d make life easier. I was watching the Food Network last night, and Pyrex was commercials were aplenty. They’ve made a hybrid cheese-grater/measuring cup, so you know how much cheese you have for your ‘dillas or whatever it is you’re making.

Pyrex has also released a hybrid whisk/bowl scraper. So when you’re trying to mix a bunch of stuff together, you can make sure you get it all, and that no un-mixed products linger on the side of the bowl. Check it:

Craftsman tool company also has a new slew of products out for the holidays. Because men love building shit. There’s a single tool with sixteen commonly-used ratchets all in one, with no need to change ratchet heads.

There’s a drill with a “delicate” setting – so leave it on regular power when you’re drilling huge pieces of wood to other huge pieces of wood, but when you have to put a shelf in the bathroom for your wife, switch it to low.

But what confounds me the most about the Craftsman company is how bold they are – their audacity. Craftsman went ahead and reinvented the hammer. That’s right. The hammer.

Remember Jesus? His foster-father, Joseph, was a carpenter. He used hammers. This was over two-thousand years ago. Now, as we’re rounding out the last year of the first decade of the twenty-first century, Craftsman tells us we’ve been doing the hammer wrong.

Anyways. Merry Christmas, Chappy Hanaka, Kwanzaa.
