Hello Kitty Power Sander

at 5:52 am. Filed under Funny Hacks

 

I wonder how many of these belt sanders they have sold? I can just imagine the product development brainstorming session where a team of people came up with this idea and proceeded to design the features. However I bet if this was left unsupervised on a job site it would be there in the morning…

"It is now time to to say hello to the Hello Kitty Power Sander. This cat, cute for some and an eyesore for many, in it’s latest form now wants to be a part of the tough construction business. We really can’t imagine which construction contractor would even think of buying this outrageous piece of building kit. And after buying, we think he will have a tough time to goad his workers into using one of these. The Kitty cat sits smugly near the operation levers of the power sander, making it very visible to anybody who might work on the sander. As we guessed, the Chinese signage on the sander tells us this is one of those outrageous contraptions arriving from China."

Here is a Segway with tires that are two feet wide! Cool hack that is sure to turn heads, but I still have a thing for the Segway Centaur (video below).

Ball Throwing Machine that a Dog can load

at 5:39 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Cool Gadgets, Electronic Hacks, Funny Hacks

 

If you have a dog this Ball Throwing Machine could provide hours of fun for him when you are out. It looks overkill for what is needed (just the way we like it).

"I built the ball machine because I thought my dog Jerry, might like it and that it would be something fun for me to build. So after two years of on and off work, with many safety features such as IR proximity sensors to protect Jerry and my son from the machine, I finally complete. "

Sewing Machine turned into a Jigsaw

at 5:04 am. Filed under DIY Hacks, Funny Hacks

 

Felipe from Brazil sent in some pictures and a video of his Jigsaw that has been turned into a Sewing Machine. I have never seen a hack to do this before but it is a cool idea. It also looks like the presser foot and feed dog help to feed the material through the blade. I think it would be interesting to replace the feed dog with two servos so that you could drive the material through the blade!

Malfunctioning Elmo utters Death Threats - What can be done? I think death is an option!

at 5:18 am. Filed under Funny Hacks, Toy Hacks, What Were They Thinking

 

When a Malfunctioning Elmo utters Death Threats what can be done? Seems that there is a small bug in the new Elmo that can plug into a computer to enhance its vocabulary. When the batteries were changed the Elmo toy started to say "Kill James". James is the name of the little boy who plays with the toy! To make it worse he now repeats the phrase… While I think no one will be traumatized for life I wonder what went wrong to make this happen? Could there be some secret phrases (easter eggs) that are only released when certain events are performed? Time will only tell. You might remember the funny burning Elmo video we featured some time ago. Have a look at the new lot of Elmo videos below. Warning if you have little children around who love Elmo, please have them leave the room first. :) The first video might be considered racial by some people, it is all in fun but don’t watch it is this type of video turns you off.

Tool Box ATV

at 5:02 am. Filed under Funny Hacks

 

If you are working on a big job site an ATV is sure to be a great way to get around. But what about you tools? You could strap a small chest to the back of the ATV but sooner or later you will need to go back to your main tool box to grab something. This cross between an ATV and a Tool Box seems to solve that problem, just drive your tool box around so that you have everything you may need! :)
