Junk-Drawer Worthy
Using a paring knife or scissors to open packages seems quick if not easy. But the resulting wait in emergency rooms for stitches can take forever.
That’s why we like Zibra’s Open It!, a muti-function packaging opener that keeps sharp edges away from soft skin.
In addition to the ergonomically either-handed design and the precision steel blades, Zibra offers a slicer, removable screwdriver, cutting jaws and a bottle opener. It’s sort of the Swiss Army knife for the junk drawer.
Sign o’ the Times
A landlord or a property manager with a hostile deadbeat tenant might need Lock-Kill. It’s a new device that disables Kwikset or Schlage locks and once activated it can’t be picked or jimmied.
This product is only intended for professional locksmiths and property managers because it is lethal to locks and, as the company says, “too dangerous in the wrong hands.” However, anyone on the inside of a locked-out door can still open it from the inside.

The Guitar Sidekick is a clamp that mounts onto guitar necks and enables players to multi-jam. It holds smartphones, media players, recorders or tuners, giving users access to digital metronomes, lyrics teleprompters, or, heck, even movies. Strum along to Almost Famous.
It does all this without affecting playing or tuning.

Just Zip It
Someone at Italian design company Florida Furniture evidently hates housework. Rumpled bed sheets? Unwashed PJs? Unsightly saliva stains on the pillows? Just zip it.
Zip is a bed with a built-in cover that lets you conceal untidiness. You can even zip yourself into the bed to create a cocoon. Outer covers come in white, gray or navy blue; interiors come in 13 colors. Remove the interior fabrics for washing or a color change.
